[CLOSED] The Misfits (Paid roles) ($150) ($50)
AntSilva01 for Caleb the Bounty Hunter [Recast]
Accent: North American or Southern accent. Southern accent preferred. Any other accent will not match this character.
Tone: Baritone or Bass. No Tenor (no high) (immediate skip on these).
Age: Should sound believably 45-65 years old. Any auditions that sound like a blossoming college student will be sadly skipped.
Personality:
(this was the old actor's audio)

Reason for recast:
We had to recast this actor because of issues with the audio. About 3 years ago, the audio sounded fine to me. But today, there's a fair bit of sibilance and an unnatural quality to the lines, probably due to compression, the mic itself or the abuse of the Noise Reduction feature in Audacity. I tried contacting the original actor to no avail so I sadly need to recast.
DELIVERY:
Please save a copy of your audition lines as a .wav file so I have them on hand.
LINES:
The audition contains all of his lines in the game
AUTHOR'S NOTE:
If you are already among the actors I have in Brave New World, please note that while I am open to actors reprising more than one role, the voice has to sound very, very different from any other characters you have been cast for and the (distance) of Caleb from your other character must be a substantial distance away. I'm just trying to avoid the sins of Obsidian and Bethesda, where they had characters voiced by the same actor.
AUDITION LINES: Choose any five lines. But these are all of his lines in the game.

Heh, so the Garrets sent you to track me down? What a joke.
(Explaining how he does bounty hunting)
{Cold} Be quick and quiet, and don't get dead.
{Annoyed}Do I look like a career counselor, kid? Get lost.
{Irritated}You've got a mouth on you, kid. If I weren't busy working for the Garrets, I might give you a few lessons in common courtesy. Get lost.)
{Tired and unamused}I'd rather not waste the ammo, kid. But, if you insist....then..(threatening voice)...... draw.
{Annoyed}Now why the hell should I do that? You're below me, kid.
{Cold, Deadly serious}I've been killing assholes twice your size since before your mother squeezed you out.
{Annoyed}Piss off.
(The Player is challenging the Bounty Hunter. )
{Cold, snickering}If you think you've got the guts, I'd like to see you try.
(The Player mentions that he just needs your hat to prove that he killed you)
[SUCCEEDED] {Amused}Well, that sounds like a bit of a bargain. I get to walk free with the Garrets thinking I'm dead.
{Amused}Sure, you can have my hat. I can always buy another with the caps I've got left.
{Friendly}It would have been more fun fighting it out, though. See you later, kid.
{Glare} {Deadly serious} (threatening) (ready to kill)
Better get your ass moving before your mouth gets you into trouble, kid.
{Annoyed}Piss off, errand boy.
{Annoyed}Piss off errand girl
(What do you do around here?)
{Cold}Hunting and killing, plain and simple.
(So you’re a bounty hunter?)
{Irritated}Bingo. Now if you're done asking stupid questions, I have more important things to do.
Piss off, kid. We've got no more business to conduct.
Yeah. See ya later
This is one of the best auditions I've heard though it is really quiet. Great job on the tone and cadence! I can really feel the character in your performance!
Thanks brutha! I wanted to give it a calm, collected feel. But I guess it was too calm lol
Haha Not so much the delivery being quiet as much as the audio output itself. Good luck mate!
[%][M][****] Voice is a great match to most of the male rangers in Fallout: New Vegas. Very close to Caleb but looking for a bit more older and grizzled. The sound is giving me pause. To be honest, I skipped through the audition the first time because of the low volume. May I ask which mic you are using? I can help optimize the sound.
Thank you, I appreciate the feedback! I’m using a Yeti Blue mic, with the gain only turned up about a quarter of the way. And I also use a sound reducer attached to the mic.
Ah, if it's a Yeti, it's definitely workable. Yeti should always be on low gain anyway, as it picks up the dead cat from 1000000 miles away. Great job overall. The voice is very NCR Rangerish for sure.
Damn, absolutely solid performance! Hella good job!
Thank you kind sir!!! :)
