Obsidian Archives
Greetings curator. I am Samuel Wilkinson. Welcome to the Obsidian Archives. This is an Animatic / Audio Drama, about the birth of an evil empire and the secrets they keep between the texts of their tomes. We are at a point in development where we can open roles to the public to help this indie story project come alive. If you want an easier time understanding this project, I recommend you take a look at our Pitch Bible.

[This second project is for the development of the second episode video.]
What is it about?
Effectively this is a dark high fantasy following a down trodden Prince and his Imp colleague. They go through the trials and tribulations of Kingdom making amongst a divided people and the atrocities that come with it. Effectively a tale of betrayal and vengeance; with a hint of sarcasm.
Voice Roles Wanted!
Currently EP1 is in production, but we will need a few voices for the new character's that will join the cast.
What we will need is people capable of creating either
Ye old english accents for guards, knights and nobles.
Cute yet mischievous voices for fairies and imp demons.
Mysterious whispery voices for the Sandkin merchant lords.
Sly new yorker accents for goblins.
The formats should be uploaded as WAV and 48khz or higher. Processing is optional.
*Rates are to be negotiated between the VA and Director. Any prices written on the roles are not final but very rough estimates. Icons are just used to cover archetypes and are not final character designs.
Writing Consultants & Historians
The project’s goal is to portray a certain level of historical truthfulness. Seeking inspirations from all kinds of historical events to grant a grandiose aesthetic and a holier than thou subtext.
This particular role is mostly voluntary. On the flipside, the work is less about righting and more about bouncing ideas and proofreading.
Artists
So this is one of the most important roles for the production. There are two kinds of artist roles.
Animatic Slide Artists will create rough black and white grayscale images in bulk. The work will be delivered in PSD format so the director can color in the work to maximize quality. The rates are to be negotiated.
Emblem / Painting Artists are tasked with creating grandiose paintings that signify turning points within the history of Obsidia capturing the holy biblical scale of the events that unfold.
What to expect?
Once selected you will be greeted by myself in discord and interviewed on job brief and price negotiations. You will also be invited to the project discord to meet other people working on the project.
Deadlines are lax but there might be moments in production where the director may check up on you and see progress..
You are a fancy military officer trapped in a desk job filing spooky VHS tapes the government does not want people to see. You are of Germanic decent but very laid back and bro like. He wants the viewer to succeed and is very friendly. Strong and deep sounding, slightly latin.
Yah, It appears Tarick sent you down here, hmmm?
Between you and me, that crystal prick isn't as smart as he says he is. You are many things but you're not really who he was expecting, was you.
My loyalty is to the old emperor where-ever he is, but that thing... he gives me the creeps. That yellow glare saw right through me. Say I bet you get that too right?
You are a human guard giving a centaur a medical ointment to cure a fungal plague. It is literally one line.
Now this might sting a little.
Just get it right in there.
Those shrooms will be out in no time.
You are a tribal centaur villager striken with plague. You basically say few words and make pain noises. Your accent will need to be fairly Native American. It is just one line.
Many thank yous, human.
You human ain't half bad.
I have misjudged you.
You a transatlantic accent that captures the essence of the mid 20th century. Basically Alastor. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJ6-_J0JAIM&ab_channel=DragonessBlueFlame
So my wise fellow, here for an adventure.
Well hot dog, you hit the jackpot.
For specific musical melodies that signify characters or factions. Preferably medieval themed.
Say something you think would fit
