Mod for Civ V: The Amazing Digital Circus
Jake Harding for Narrator
Basic Background:
- The voice should match the style of the Narrator from the video game 'Sid Meier's Civilization V'. The original actor was William Morgan Sheppard
- The role involves reading 4 scripts, each taking around a minute to read aloud
- Having watched The Amazing Digital Circus or having played Civ V is unnecessary, outside of knowing how to pronounce the TADC character's names. This said, I'd love to work with a fan of either that wants to contribute to a related project
Details:
- To match the original game, I request a male narrator voice. The narration style is similar to that of a documentary
- Example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6B5BTpp6Fc (Script: https://civilization-v-customisation.fandom.com/wiki/America_(Washington)#Dawn_of_Man ) (Other examples: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=civ+v+dawn+of+man )
- The opening has a swell of the voice when the narrator welcomes the subject, the remainder of the time the voice maintains a consistently narrative tone. The final few lines are questions, so the delivery slightly changes - as if challenging the reader - they are rhetorical questions
- The reading pace isn't so fast that details are easily missed, but isn't so slow that players will skip the cutscene to "just begin their game already". Each paragraph has a short wait between them
As a note, I'll be publishing this mod to the Steam Workshop and intend to credit the voice-actor in the description.

Hello, thanks for applying to this role. Out of the submissions I received, I took yours to be the second-best fit for the role, it fits very well. However I can only pick one, the top two have their own appeal in different ways. I'll get back to you if my first pick for the role doesn't work out. For now, thank you for your submission.
Okay thanks, good luck with your project!
