New Project
As promised, I am here to share that I have opened another project seeking male and female voices in the same universe. For anyone interested, it can be found here: https://cstng.cc/projects/paid-audiobook-script-read
Paid Short Audiobook/Script Read
Project Overview
Hello! I am searching for a voice to fit one of my long time characters in a very small, one time project.
This project would involve the reading of a short story / script as if you (the character) were speaking directly to the person it is about and thinking about the impact they’ve had on your (his) life. The script is written in first person and is my first attempt at this POV, so it is still under intense editing as of this moment. It is looking to be around 1,600 words, subject to change.
Please know that it deals heavily with an abusive (non-romantic) relationship between the main character and the witch being spoken to, as the story itself is his attempt to move past what happened and heal. There is nothing graphic but it is certainly there.
Taking place inside a world from a role play, this project is a personal one and would not be shared by me to a very large audience, however you would be free to share your work as you see fit.

Decision
After a lot of deliberation, a significant amount of input from others, and way too many replays of all the auditions, I swear I will be hearing "Why?" in my sleep for weeks. That is not what I came to say though. The role has been decided on. Rhnarrates will be the voice of Rhalasca'mar. Thank you all so, so much for your auditions. -
Deadline Update & Callback
Another update: Due to the somewhat overwhelming number of auditions as well as having finished the script editing, I have moved the deadline for the project to the 15th. I have greatly enjoyed listening to everyone's auditions and hearing your unique takes on Rhalasca'mar, however there are a lot and I feel bad having so many people try when I can only cast one of you. So. This project is closed to new auditions and is now unlisted. I have selected nine auditioners to receive a callback based upon their performance and how I feel it matches the individual character. Their names will be posted below. If you are not on the list, please know that I greatly enjoyed your audition, I just do not see my character in it and am no longer considering you for the role. Some were close; some I loved but realize will not work. Regardless, I would be thrilled to have any of you return if you happen to see a future project from me and I will continue working to reply to each one of you whether you've received a callback or not! My callback/shortlist is: cbushovenvoice zalrratour rhnarrates hazardub jswayward brian-barnshaw glacierjx rnrdjoeman flimsyranger I am opening an optional second audition on this page with a retake of one snippet and two new ones to try and narrow down my choices. It also has more information about Ras to assist you in understanding the character. This audition is OPTIONAL and choosing not to participate will do nothing to hurt your chances of being accepted for the role as I already have one audition from you. A decision will be made on or by the 15th. -
Feedback
Hello! I did not plan on posting another update, however here we are. All submissions submitted as of 3/8/2022 should have received a comment and/or feedback from me regarding where you stand in the auditioning process. If I have missed you, please contact me. If I have turned you down for this particular role, please know that I would be delighted to see you again in the future whenever I have the chance to host another project like this, hopefully with more spots to fill. If you have not been turned down and I mentioned that you will be kept in mind for the role, you have been "short listed" and I will be communicating with you once the auditions have closed. Thank you all so much for your auditions and the time you took to make them. I am still overwhelmed and amazed by the interest in this. I look forward to working with as many of you as possible soon or in the future. -
Day 1
It is the end of day one and I am amazed by the response so far. Thank you all for your auditions; I have listened to every single one and each time I have been impressed. I did not expect to have so much interest, rather I expected maybe one or two auditions. I've been blown away already. So what's going to happen between now and the due date? I will continue accepting submissions and will not be casting anyone until after it has passed. As the days go by, I intend to comment on each audition individually to let you know what I am thinking but it may take a day or two after you have posted. Please be patient. I WILL get to you. Once the project closes I will spend 2-3 days making a decision. Once decided, the person I chose will be contacted where we will discuss all details related to this little project. Unless something important comes up, you are unlikely to hear from me again outside of your individual comment until the project closes. I just do not foresee having anything important to say. Farewell for now.
Project Roles:
Rhalasca'mar/Ras CLOSED
Rhalasca'mar Round 2
Voice Actor
Rhalasca'mar/Ras CLOSED
closed
Paid: Flat Rate 150 USD
Rhalasca’mar, or Ras, lives in a world where magic users are considered a plague to be wiped out. Ras, unfortunately, made a mistake that ended up costing him his whole life.
Ras found himself turned into a chimera, rather than the human he had once been, and was stuck under the control of the very witch he had sought to kill.
As of the time of this story, he is somewhere between 19 and 23. Officially an age has not been chosen.
He does not have any particularly strong accent nor is his voice extremely deep or raspy.
“Why? I had never done anything to you!”
Notes: This line is intended to be read with anger or frustration. This is Ras demanding answers.
“Your appearance was only a facade. Like the magic which you controlled, your mere presence was enough to draw others to you like insects to a flame. And oh how they praised your very name… almost as if you were a god.”
“My failure was in not preparing Naoli for what might happen. She and Ishlamar assured me you could never come back, and I trusted them, but I should have known better. Trusted myself. Naoli did not know what you could do…”
Notes: The name “Ishlamar” is pronounced as Ish-luh-mar rather than la. Also be careful about the “was in not” portion. This is not a typo. This line is Ras stating that his failure was not preparing Naoli. “In not,” while uncommon, is a proper way to say that.
Voice Actor
Rhalasca'mar Round 2
closed
Paid: Flat Rate 150 USD
Role assigned to:
RHNarrates
This audition is only for voice actors who were listed on my update regarding the callback list and is optional. Auditions outside of those nine will not be considered for the role, however I appreciate your interest.
This story centers around Ras and a sorcerer whom he refers to as a witch named Estelle. She is the reason he is no longer a human. Though Ras eventually managed to break free of the magic used to control him and kill her, she later came back as a ghost to try again, reopening old wounds that had just been starting to heal.
Ras is terrified of her.
She hates him and relishes in the fact that he is afraid of her.
The person who is accepted for this role needs to be able to express both fear and anger through their voice when appropriate. They also need to have a good grasp on a steady narration vs emotional outbursts and dialogue.
It was brought to my attention that I was a bit confusing on what I am looking for regarding steady narration vs emotional outbursts and such. I hope this answer below can help. As well, feel free to send me a message here or on Discord (Nicole#1742) if you have any questions.
Yes, of course there is emotion with the narration. However there are times where it would be a bit more flat (thus what I meant by steady narration) vs an outburst. We’ll use the first sample as an example.
And then you would always say the same thing.
"I hate you."
Why? I had never done anything to you.
The first line isn’t going to be something where he’s super distressed audibly. By the time that why roles around, he is.
And then you would always say the same thing.
"I hate you."
Why? I had never done anything to you.
Notes: I have added more to this sample in order to provide further context for what exactly he is saying "why?" to. This entire project is a story narrated by Ras, taking place entirely in his head through mental narration, however occasionally there is dialogue that he is remembering, some his own, some others. I am not asking you to perform multiple voices; Ras would not do that. What I AM asking you to do is make it clear whether he is simply narrating or quoting dialogue with your voice. In this case the dialogue comes from the witch the entire story is about, Estelle.
“You never let me,” I had tried to say.
Notes: In this scene, Ras was being confronted by the ghost of Estelle (which is actually the casting call's main image). He was trying to verbally defend himself. This dialogue comes from Ras.
You can try to swim against it, but in the end there is no escape. And then, when you do eventually resurface, you are just a shell of who you were before being dragged under.
Notes: This is entirely narration. Ras is discussing a spell which Estelle uses to basically eat away at his mind until he is more like a puppet than a person.
