Guardian - An Entertainment game by BlackBanshee Studios
Project Overview
This project is an educational episodic game being created by BlackBanshee Studios (Payload, Don't Bleed, both on Steam).
As this is a game in production, limited details can be shared publicly. Voice Actors being cast will receive slightly more information, but will be subject to NDA. The first chapter of the game is set for release before June 2022 with additional chapters added roughly every 2.5 months. Voice Actors will be given 2 weeks to return recordings once scripts are sent. Some parts will require more dialogue and a longer commitment, others will only be in a chapter or two. Details will be listed with each character. Additional roles will be added after initial casting.
Discord is Required. Be able to meet your deadlines and be available for retakes if needed. Please have a USB mic (no headsets, unless the quality is great), minimal to no background noise. YouTube has great tutorials on how to make a soundproofing box for little to no investment.
This is an unpaid role. BlackBanshee Studios is an Entertainment Studio based at Full Sail university in Winter Park, FL. Actors will be credited and can use this as part of their portfolio.
