Hello all! Thanks for viewing this project. My name is Ashley, and I am a small hobby youtuber. I'm running a well received Skyrim machinima on my channel, and I have a special offer for passionate voice actors looking for a role. You don't need to be familiar with Skyrim to audition, and I am open to those new to voice acting :) If you think you're a good fit for a role give it a shot! I need to fill these roles quickly to fit in with my new upload schedule and am willing to pay $15 USD (or as stated in profile, exception being minor roles) to both secure the spot and make up for the short notice. However as this project is not a source of income, I cannot provide further payments. This will change if I start earning money from my videos. Roles are still being added!
Video above is the Prologue to this series

<Storyline>
The story follows it's main protagonist, Maera, on her journey as the unlikely Dragonborn. She is a cheeky little thief with a love of mead and adventure. She's only survived thus far due to some serious luck, and something else I cannot spoil yet. This is a flawed underdog character who will grow on you. Think of a fun loving series with lot's of laughs, and spontaneous hilarity. However, there will be some dark and seriously sad moments, that I want to really resonate with the audience. The real seller however is that the audience chooses where things go. At the end of every episode the audience is presented with 5 options, and whichever option is voted for the most will win. Thus the script changes, resulting in last minute changes.
Role finalists will be given all the spoilers, plans and backstory.
Thanks for taking the time to read and audition! I am excited to start working with everyone :)
Sorcha is Maera's elder sister, and 'The Chosen One' among their people. The sisters grew up as members of 'The Forsworn', a savage group of Breton's dedicated to killing Nords and reclaiming 'The Reach', land they see as rightfully theirs. Sorcha's birth was prophesied and carefully constructed by a Hagraven. She was born in the 'Sundered Hills', greeted by the screech of a bird and crimson blooms on the autumn hills. Thus began her legend, Reach-child, born under auspicious skies, reincarnation of Faolan, the Red Eagle. She has more than lived up to her name sake, excelling at everything she tried. Ancient Reach magic, archery, alchemy, killing...
Sorcha is a passionate member of the Forsworn, and is to be feared by all who oppose her. She is strong willed, hard, commanding and unforgiving. She is The Chosen One. She was always hard on Maera, who is her polar opposite. Lazy, rebellious, and uninterested in the Forsworn. However, unbeknownst to all but herself, she does love her little sister. Seeing as Maera becomes 'The Chosen One', among Nords, things will be certainily become interesting. Will she kill her little sister? Tell her the truth about a long held secret? She's already (in the eyes of Maera) 'betrayed' her...
More info will be given to the one chosen as Sorcha :)

Wrong. Spider venom can be hallucinogenic. (Disdain, Disappointment)
What did you do this time? (Exasperated, Tired of this nonsense)
It's your duty as a member of the Forsworn. You will do it. (Harsh, commanding)
VOICE REFERENCE: https://soundcloud.com/user-562407778/sets/hagraven
A Hagraven is a horrific cross between an old crone and a raven. They are extremely dangerous, and often very old. Few creatures match the cunning, depravity and the repulsiveness of the hagravens. They will take through savagery what they cannot win through guile.
Hagravens were once witches that have undergone a ritual in which they trade their humanity for access to powerful magics, and the transformations they undergo infuse their entire beings with some element of that power.
Most importantly for this story, Hagravens are revered by the savage, tribal Forsworn. This Hagraven led the main character's (Maera) Forsworn tribe. Maera fled this tribe, somewhat due to the Hagraven. She performed a ritual sacrifice on Maera, and as a result...I'll let you know if you get the role ;)
It's impossible to describe the 'voice' of a Hagraven, so I've uploaded some lines on my Soundcloud, good luck! :)
Because, because you are such a nice Breton, yes! (Imitate voice/exact words linked in Description)
I spit on you, dead sister. (Imitate voice/exact words linked in Description)
Don't be scared...it will only hurt, a little (Imitate voice in Description, no exact words this time)
The Forsworn, also known as the 'Madman of the Reach', are a savage tribe claiming to be the true sons and daughters of the Reach. Despite appearing primitive in nature, the Forsworn have proven to be an aggressive political force which has an astute grasp of insurgency warfare, and even have agents living among the populace in secret. They are passionate about reclaiming their land and take joy in every nord they kill.
As they are a large group I will need various ages and genders, so feel free to get creative :)
The Forsworn will reclaim what is rightfully ours! (Angry, Combat Dialogue)
That little brat shames everything we stand for. (Disdain)
We would follow you to Oblivion and back Sorcha. (Admiring)
This is the child version of Sorcha (about 10 yrs old), and will be used in many flashbacks. Please read the adult description to better understand her character.
She is not as 'hard' as a child, but still proud and commanding. She excels at all lessons and listens closely to everything her superiors tell her. She begrudgingly puts up with Maera, and often scolds her. Though the two do sometimes have fun together.
If you are able to voice both the adult and child Sorcha, that would be great. However this is not necessary, so please feel free to audition regardless :)
Well the only thing you're full of is cheese. (Snarky)
I'm the chosen one Maera! You're just...nothing. (Commanding)
Frostbite Spider venom is a blood-freezing poison that paralyzes the body within seconds and sometimes causes Hallucinations. (Reciting From Book, Proud)
This is the child version of Maera (about 10 yrs old), the main character of the series. She is a cheeky little rebel who has no interest in fulfulling her role as a Forsworn member. She is part jealous, part in awe of her sister Sorcha's abilites. They sometimes get along, though squabble a lot. Sorcha likes to scold Maera and Maera hates being told what to do. She doesn't take anything seriously, loves food and jewels and is the black sheep of her Tribe.
Think wide eyed innocence, with a side of cheeky spunk.
You're so full of it Sorcha. (Annoyed)
I dunno, it hurts I guess? (Bored, Replying To Teacher's Question)
Heehee, they can't punish me if they don't catch me....(Sneaky, Cheeky)
Urik is not the sharpest tool in the shed. He's large, powerful, but a little dumb. He loves being a bandit and will do anything his boss tells him. Looking for a gruff, deep voice, really embody the simplicity of Urik. Try imitating the linked accent if possible.

Need lines quickly, will be responding to auditions within the day.
(Unsure) "You sure that's them boss? They don't look like no horkers to me."
(Angry, Offended) "I'm not stupid, you're stupid!"
(Proud, angry) "We're the Riverwood Reavers! (Annoyed) Though Riverwood Raiders sound's better you ask me."
Love to see your own take on this character! As you can tell Bandit #3 isn't the most eloquent of speakers, however he/she is smarter than they let on. Also, Bandit #3 is the frenemy of fellow bandit Urik.
All listed Bandit roles are part of a small, rough little gang that target's Riverwood.
Give it your best shot :)

"That's cause they're were-horkers, boss said so. They messin with dark magics stupid."
(Angry, Combat Starter) "We don't like no dark magics in these parts. Prepare to be gutted!"
(Combat Yell) "You can't escape the Riverwood Reaver's!"
Go wild with this one, just bear in mind he/she is a bandit, and not very nice. Give it as much personality as you'd like :)
All Bandits: Part of a small, rough bandit gang that target's Riverwood

(Defending the existence of were-horkers) "Yeah there is! Boss and Vigrod saw you! Ain't that right Vigrod?"
"Ain't that right Boss?"
"We voted Urik, get over it already"
Ah Sanguine, the Daedric Prince of hedonism, debauchery, and vice. A true prankster at heart he revels in uproar and confusion, and is considered the patron saint of sinners.
Sanguine unlike the other Daedric Princes within Skyrim does not have a custom voice actor, which means we get to have a lot of fun with his voice.
I'm looking for a drunkard, something playful and up to no good. The lines you are voicing are taken from within the game, and I'll link to them here for pronunciation reference:

Have fun with this character, become the cheeky bastard and inject as much personality as you see fit. You don't need to imitate the linked audio.
I need this role filled asap and will expect the script back asap as well. Only apply if you have the time for this! That is very important.
There will be under 100 lines for this script. However Sanguine appears later within the game as well and I will need all his vanilla dialogue voiced, much more time will be provided for that :) The $15 USD covers all future Sanguine appearances.
You look like someone who can hold their liquor. How about a friendly contest to win a staff?
I am Sanguine, Daedric Prince of Debauchery!
Maybe a little influence from your old uncle Sanguine could help adjust your course a bit...
