Hello everyone! Welcome to those who have already been casted. You are just one piece of the puzzle that is this film but we will tackle this challenge together!
I am currently still seeking voices for 16 of the 26 roles. 15/16 roles are for minor characters/ one liners. One of these roles is for the Captain Anderson lead protagonist part. His character is mean to be a seasoned officer. Please let me know if you know of anyone with this kind of voice. I will look to start the process of collecting everyone's lines once I have someone to fill the Captain's role. Until then, thanks for your patience and I look forward to working with you all!
[pleading] Diana, we haven’t had a resupply from the core worlds in years. Most of our trade vessels leave here and are never heard from again. I’m sorry, but I have to agree, your father is ill and we will just have to hope he recovers.
If you would like to stay with your father, the senate meeting can wait.
What can I say? I wish to uphold our civilization first and foremost no matter the cost. But right now I believe there to be a diplomatic solution.
Captain Anderson is the leader of the bunch. Highly respected, yet maverick and unconventional military officer. He is the commanding officer and mentor for Commander Lewis.
[on the bridge of his ship in battle] We won't last long out here, not with that Covenant Battlecruiser in pursuit.
[talking normal/ low] Lieutenant, I read about Stedus. They have a... turbid political history. Be wary. Trust no one.
[to his subordinate who he has known for many years] We have no other choice. You have no other choice, Commander. Evert, you have served under me for many years now. This will be your greatest test and ultimately your greatest achievement. You will coordinate the defense. Lead Jack and the men on the ground to victory.
Evert Lewis is a Commander in the UNSC navy under Captain Anderson. Evert is a straight arrow but friendly and sometimes sarcastic with natural wit. He is wise for his age and will be one of the main protagonists. Role will span multiple films. Pleasure ensure that you are able to commit to multiple films.
[in battle] What in the blazes? Get to cover!
[introduction] Lieutenant, I’m sorry, I’ve been remiss. My name is Commander Evert Lewis and you are..?
[sad] I won’t let you down sir.
Lead antagonist. Like the other roles, this alien is also a Sangheili. He is the most cruel and unrelenting. Borderline evil.
We cannot allow any humans to escape with the Holy Writ. Hunt them down.
Our twenty year campaign against the humans is coming to a close. The Great Journey is near, my friend. Once we secure the sacred relic, we shall have more knowledge of the Forerunners than any being in the universe.
You humans have fought valiantly. [pause] Now fight me with honor. [pause] Die with honor.
Alien (Sangheili) Major part of the Covenant. Secondary antagonist. He is cruel and unrelenting in battle and in his tone. His role will span multiple films. The role must have a voice that sounds like a Sangheili. Or can be altered to sound like one.
…Their slipspace drive. We should pursue them before they expose our presence to the other human forces...
We shall blacken this world. Burnt to a crisp and then they will understand the consequences for resistance like all the other worlds we have charred in the name of the Great Journey.
What.. function does it have? Why is the Shipmaster so desperate to find it?
Monitors are extremely intelligent, but are also highly devoted to their original functions and protocols; this results in a zealous attitude towards protecting the ancient artifacts we see in this script.
I can provide guidance for how monitors sound if you are unfamiliar. In the halo games, the primary monitor is 343 Guilty Spark.
[intrigued] Ancient beings, but not just mere beings... Creators and caretakers of life. Not Gods like your kind proclaims but architects of the galaxy.
[attitude] Well excuse me, when your memory spans ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety nine years, we’ll see if you remember the entire unrestricted library of the Forerunner archives. Do you know how much data that is? The monitor pauses for a brief moment and Molsu looks at him as if to say something. Then the monitor continues and cuts him off. It’s fifty four trillion, three hundred and forty six billion, six hundred and fifty nine million–
[informative] The directive contains many valuable resources such as technological blueprints, Transcendence rituals, containment protocols, ancient chronicles, and galactic cartography. I’ve said too much. Perhaps, you could release me.
A standard gritty Marine non commissioned officer who will be with the main protagonists.
[in battle] Lieutenant, we’re completely surrounded.
[in battle] Let’s give it to ‘em!
[talking low] LT, nothing could have survived this.
Alien (Sangheili) Major part of the Covenant. He is cruel and unrelenting in battle and in his tone. The role must have a voice that sounds like a Sangheili. Or can be altered to sound like one. He will be a minor antagonist who serves under the 'shipmaster'.
Quiet you!
How many times must I say it, you do not speak unless spoken to.
The city. Their camp is nearby on the edge of that forest. I shall report this to the Shipmaster.
[in battle] That got ‘em! Yeah!
[in battle] Copy that!
[in battle] Take cover!
[in battle] Captain! Our right engine’s out and left stabilizers are about to be… [he/she is interrupted]
[in battle] Copy. Charging up FTL drive.
[in battle] FTL is ready to be engaged.
Cute funny little aliens called 'Grunts'. Their scientific name is Unggoy. They have high pitch mischievous voices.
[walking] (sigh) How much longer must we trek to find this city.
[pointing] Look!
[panicked] It’s not my fault! (to Major Kojora) Look at my legs, I’m not fast enough!
The Shipmaster is dead.
What will you have us do... Shipmaster.
The human ship likely sustained damage to their engines, communications, and their slipspace drive.
The main emperor of the kingdom. He is dying and his daughter must take over. The voice actor for his daughter has a chinese accent so it would only be proper to also have her father have a similar accent.
Do not speak, but listen. I have only a short time left in my life. My daughter will become an empress after my passing. The realm will be hers. Do not let my death be in vain. Protect the kingdom.
Halt!
Please stay by your ship and send an envoy to negotiate the terms of your stay.
I will have to discuss this arrangement with my Emperor. It will be up to him to decide. Come with me.
Gentle voice woman who can serve as a voice of reason for Diana (Emperor's daughter)
Miss Sulla, please. Your father needs rest. He’s very ill.
There isn’t anything we can do for him, Miss.
His condition is not good. We’ll need to transport him back to the-
Of course, ma’am.
(whispers) My lady, I called the men here to negotiate some form of temporary protection for us from the alien threat.
Diana, please. We have known each other for a long time. Trust me.
Captain, we are an independent colony, we have no need for superluminal communication. Emperor Sulla is profoundly against this kind of technology as it is easily weaponized by your government to spread misinformation.
All violators will be shot.
The Stedus system is off limits to the UNSC.
We don’t even know what the artifact is for.
We may not know what it is but what we do know is that the Covenant are after it the same as we are. This could be the key to victory. A UNSC victory.
Pilot, that cruiser is ramping up its glassing beam projector! We may see a momentary reduction in shield strength around the area of the plasma generator..
Another one got away!
Take that!
Another one got away!
We must assist the UNSC forces to deter the alien threat.
We’ve waited long enough! There is no hope for us if we do not act!
One of the highest ranking military officers. I would expect this character to sound formal
Then how do we even know it’s important enough to risk one of our ships for it.
Sir, I’m sorry for the interruption. FFG-5 missed their check in window by two rotations.
We know the Covenant has been operating in that area.
Sir, we’re receiving a transmission from our deepsace relay. It’s from an unknown entity.
That’s nearby Lyren [lee-ren]. We may have just found our missing ship.
[The empress gives the General permission to assemble the men] With pleasure your highness.
[in battle reinforcing the commander and his troops] We’re with you, Commander!
(flying in battle) This is our chance, we’re on it. Sabre2, we’re going nose first into the deck.
Beautiful ain't it?
Copy that Sabre1, I’ve got your back!
Someone should take a picture
