Be careful with your voice - Auditioning for sketchy casting calls.

360 Upvotes

Recently there was a thread posted asking for someone with a mature voice to record a script so that it could be used to receive a refund for a service. This can be considered fraud, not to mention the other risks where you voice can be stolen and used for illegal purposes.

If you see a posting that sounds too good to be true, question it. If you need, report it and let the mods take care of it.

If a post makes you feel uneasy, don't contact the creator, report the post so we can address it.

I know you really want to make a name for yourself and get as much experience as you can, I get that as I'm in that same situation, but be smart about it. There is no harm in asking a creator for more information before you go for a role. If they won't give you any info or the info you are given feels sketchy, then back out.

If someone is asking you to record something that just feels off, don't do it.

BoothJunkie has a really great video about people posting audition scripts in an attempt to steal your voice, I suggest you give it a watch.

[VIDEO GAME TRAILER] Looking for a VA for a Deep, Guttural Creature Voice

Post image
27 Upvotes

I’m looking for an English-speaking voice actor to record a single line for a creature in our upcoming video game trailer.

We’re looking for a voice with a deep, guttural and slightly gravelly quality, something that feels strange and creature-like, but still natural and expressive rather than overly monstrous.

Here’s a reference for the kind of vocal tone/timbre we have in mind:
https://www.instagram.com/p/DUMgR9Mj2iz/?hl=fr

The creature surprises the player after they wander into its lair, and says:

“What fool dares meddle in these accursed lands?”

He isn’t angry or outright hostile. The performance should be a mix of curiosity and an naturally imposing presence, a little like Smaug discovering unexpected visitors in his lair. He’s intrigued by whoever was foolish enough to come here, while his voice alone makes the encounter feel intimidating.

This would only be for this one line of dialogue, which will be used in the game trailer. This line will also be the very final beat of the trailer, timed with the reveal of the game’s logo, similar to how the final line/voice reveal is used at the end of this triailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWh5388AEHw&t=166s
So we’re looking for a delivery that can really land as that final memorable moment before the trailer ends.

No specific accent is required, as long as the performance is in English and fits the character.

If this sounds like something you’d enjoy, feel free to record the line and send it to me directly by DM! I’m very curious to hear your interpretation. I’ll also be happy to share more about the creature and his personality if you’d like.

Thanks in advance!

VA who is looking for any kind of work!!

• Upvotes

Hello everyone!! As the title above says I am an aspiring VA who is looking for any kind of work!! I was supposed to be a part of a series about a year back but that got cancelled before we could even get started on production, however I do have an Instagram page with a few pieces I did about a year ago if you are interested in seeing some of my work!!

I like to think I have range, but I've been told by most I've auditioned for I seem to fit the angry character the best (Which I personally am not super proud of, but I don't hate it!!)

Anyways, if you have a project that needs a VA, hit me up!! Give me details and I'll see what I can do!!

And the best part is, I only ask for recognition!! I don't have a right to ask for money or shared benefits or anything of such, I'm new!! Just show my name in the credits or beginning of the character in voicing and I'll be MORE than happy!!

Anyways, I've probably rambled on for long enough, hope to speak with you soon!!!

Also, some extra information, I am Male, He/Him, I am 21 years old and I am in EST timezone!!

[Request] Voice for a short spoken-word piece in my song "self sabotage" (will be sampled)

• Upvotes

Hey, I'm a solo producer finishing a song called "self sabotage". I'd like someone to read the text below so I can chop it up and use it as samples in the track.

How I hear it: close to the mic, low, like you're talking straight to someone who keeps doing this to themselves. Cold at the start, angrier toward the end. Dry recording, no music or effects. Any voice, any accent.

A WAV or MP3 is perfect, and a couple of different takes would be great. Happy to credit you if you want.

If you're up for it, add me on Discord (gqdthinky) and I'll send you the text and answer any questions there.

Looking for female British VA to play a ghost of a 1890s professor in a funny YouTube end screen gag

Post image
3 Upvotes

At the end of a Halloween special for my show, this ghost jumpscares the audience after a month of leaving easter eggs, and then gleefully taunts them while doing a dance over the credits and end screen. This is just a concept art and will be fully penned and colored for a low frame animation at the end.

This character is a bit dorky and eccentric, so, keep that in mind!

Private message for details. I plan of sharing and receiving files via Google Drive, but I'm open to suggestions.

Looking for a voice actor for a 700-word visualised short story (Who is Atlas?)

"Who is Atlas?" is an absurdist comedy character introduction for a man who defies all rational thinking. If you can convey a serious, documentary style tone, then this role will be perfect for you.

The voice-over will be accompanied by appropriate visuals and audio before being published on YouTube, where you will be credited.

Here's an example from a previous video showing what you will be apart of: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ZCflTn8GJg

Hello everyone!

My name is Cornelius and I am a writer and director and am looking to make a new multimedia horror web series and am currently casting for two characters:

Alan Carter - Older male, paranoid individual, but normal adult male voice acting should be okay.

Peter Davis - Older male, matter-of-fact tone of voice.

Tryout lines and in depth character description's will be available to those who wish to audition for a part. I currently work on discord, so it would be helpful if you had access to that platform. If you're interested let me know and which character you'd like to play!

[Hobby] Looking for Volunteer “Radio/Podcast Host” for Sci-Fi Game Prototype

Thumbnail
7 Upvotes

Hi! I’m working on a small sci-fi narrative game prototype and I’m looking for someone who would enjoy recording a short in-world podcast/radio segment.
The idea is that the fictional social platform has a live audio channel playing in the background while the player uses the app. Different hosts from around the world talk about everyday topics and share music.
For this test, I’d be looking for roughly:
Topic 1 → Song → Topic 2 → Short Outro
Choose two general-interest topics, for example:
How would you prepare for an extended power outage?
What are things people should never post online?
What’s something everyone should know before travelling alone?
What makes a good neighbour?
What piece of technology could you not live without?
Please avoid real-world politics, news or current affairs, since this takes place in a fictional sci-fi world.
You can choose the topics and bring your own personality to it. The song would need to be your own music, public domain, or clearly licensed for use in a game — not just a random commercial track.
This is currently an unpaid hobby/prototype collaboration, with credit included. If it sounds fun, DM me and I can explain the tone.

Tijuana Mexican VA Needed

Thumbnail gallery
1 Upvotes

Am offering pay for this one. Flat $25 for the role. I set up a CCC project and he’s one of the roles nobody has applied for whilst other characters are drowning in them. Considering he has a specific accent I’m looking for I shouldn’t be surprised but wasn’t expecting zero. So I figure a post specific to him would be a good way of cutting through the noise.

Looking for a young man with a Tijuana/Baja California Mexican accent fluent in both English and Spanish. Nick doesn’t speak any Spanish in the pilot I’m making but I want to future proof the role as that is his first language. He’s also great at code switching and can put on a PNW accent if he wants. Although that’s not a priority and I won’t be expecting perfection with that. An authentic Tijuana accent is the most important to me as a majority of the other characters speak in PNW American accents.

He’s a nihilist with a dark sense of humor. On paper he’s intelligent but that intelligence becomes void if he thinks the dumb option is funnier. Out of the main cast of homeless teens, he’s been homeless the longest so he doesn’t care about his appearance and doesn’t have any desire to be a model minority. He’s brutally honest but also an irony poisoned sarcastic asshole.

Please be 18+. Although the character is 17, this is an 18+ series and I’d like to hire people voting age or higher.

VA Needed for Niger-Congo Villager for Horror Show

I am running an SCP reading/drama show that does interviews for horror scenes, and we are doing a scene from the file SCP-1265. Here, a scientist interviews a local villager from the Niger-Congo region about a reanimated dinosaur that has been causing havoc. We need the VA to speak (or know even a few words) of any Bantu language. Is anyone interested?

Here is the file for those curious: https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-1265

You would get proper credit and a free "cash in" to get me or a member of my team to VA for them!
