Skyrim: Krein (7)
Project Overview
*For the composer position see the description in the roles section.
Voice actors are needed for various roles for a fantasy game (Skyrim). As this is an ongoing, large-scale project, we are looking for reliable actors that may be able to provide work on an individual basis in the near future as needed.
Details
This is the seventh wave of roles released for this project. A strong performance is expected in the audition.
The payment value associated with the role is the minimum to be paid out.
Payouts are made after all the voice recordings are edited and processed so that the total time used can be acquired.
Prerequisites
You must have a professional-grade microphone. No headset mics. No exceptions. Poor sound quality is an automatic disqualifier.
Ensure that the sound quality is clear and provide sound quality as though you've already been selected for the role.
E-Mail communication is required for those who are selected.
Instructions
After completing the audition for the character(s), if you are selected you will be contacted and provided with the complete role. Further communication beyond that point will be through e-mail.
There may be some important notes in the descriptions of some of the roles such as extra requirements.
Please note that the deadline is a ballpark estimate. For the sake of internal deadlines, we may cast actors and complete the project prematurely due to the potential competitiveness yielded by the sheer number of auditions.

Latest Updates

The role description for Vahzenstin was updated with more details as to what is expected and the offer has been increased.
We are looking for a serious musician, preferably one with some experience in composing pieces based on visuals such as scenery and visual atmosphere, or those with experience creating game OSTs. We require someone who has flexibility in their musical themes, as they will be expected to compose pieces based on a variety of atmospheric and visual environments. Specifically, each level set will have its own musical theme, which should compliment the environment and visual atmosphere in terms of mood and characteristics. It would be very helpful to produce examples that were made to fit a particular image or level. Experience does not matter to us so much as the ability to craft musical characteristics to scenery, and the ability to produce interesting, unique, and emotion-inducing pieces. What you will be producing is music that is often highly ambient, but may have a light fantasy theme to it as well. You are free to produce example clips associated with some particular preview image of a level in the project hub.
Other Notes:
-We do not want "cartoonified" RPG music or anything that remotely resembles garage-band quality.
-Note that it's not certain we'll be selecting among the applicants here as we have other sources in consideration as well. In addition, the offered amount is negotiable to a small extent.
-The OST is expected to be somewhere between half an hour to one hour.
Say something you think would fit
Voice Type: Male (Dragon), bold, rich, spirited (preferably American or English accent)
Description: An individualistic maverick, a traveling dragon who acts as a lone-wolf
Tags: Pensive, tempered, sharp, sophisticated, lofty, charismatic
Additional Notes:
There are certain voice characteristics we are looking for here: a bold, rich voice with the ability to inflect, emphasize and emote articulately. We do not want a brainless, evil monster. The dragon voice should have more personality than this. It's fine to vary lines from guttural to normal, but a purely guttural voice is not desired. With our audio effects, what is most important is the original voice characteristics, which will stand out after processing. See Benedict Cumberbatch's performance of Smaug as an example.
*hoarse sigh* You're quite the warrior. I haven't had this much fun in ages.
Before we finish, *catching breath* I would like to ask a question, combatant.
Tell me who sent you and perhaps I could illuminate your clouded mind.

For goodness sake, I don’t know. Get that into your head. They’re your workers, but they’re my customers. Them disappearing affects me just as well.

This ain't the job for a merc. I don't mean anything by it, but it's none of your business.
Fourth time a worker's disappeared since going into the mines. We ought to seal the whole thing for good.
Hmph, you newbies think you can breeze through these mines, be my guest. But I ain't sending men after to save you.

You know what I want: answers. I’m not getting chewed out by Halebrook for losing another lot of men!
Soon as I find out you’re covering for someone, I’ll have soldiers swoop into your tavern like a hawk to prey. Mark my words.
So what would someone like you be doing poking your nose in this business?

Yeah, yeah, everyone tells me the same thing. I’m too young. I’ve fended off thieves before, y’know? I’ve done hunting on my own. I think I can do this.
It’s my mom. She…she’s sick. Like something I’ve never seen. We all get colds and whatnot. This is different.
There it is! The fiery weapon, just like in the stories. We need a key to open this. The stories mentioned that, too.

Welcome. Don’t worry, I won’t bite –but I can’t promise the same from the others *chuckle*
Well, of course! What else am I to do? My sons won’t let me leave our home; they say it’s too dangerous these days.
Really? You’ve come all this way and you don’t want to unwind? Well you sound much like my husband, I suppose.

Living one, I sense that you are different. Approach me.
Who are you? You have the aura of one who has come across someone familiar.
You wish not to destroy your enemy? I see. It was unwise of me to reveal myself to a fool.
