Post here if you need voice actors for mods, or if you'd offer you

[Honeycone]

Hi!

 

I would like to give NPCs some life and personality with my voice. I am a complete amature with a decent microphone, willing to voice act characters I feel I can give justice to.

 

I made a short demo where I have mock conversations with 3 NPCs I made up. The Don Shopkeeper, Gecko Hunter and Wasteland Psycho.

Feel free to contact me.

[SeraphimDreams]

Putting up another offer to voice for anyone who needs it as I've become reliably free lately.

 

Gender: Male

Race: Caucasian

Age: 19

 

About me:

I'm a film student from the Midwest, studying at a collegiate level in the pursuit of acting, directing, and screenwriting. I've finished my first official year of university and film classes have lots of experience with creative writing and story building. I've had moderate experience with acting but some experience is better than none I'd wager. I've had lots of practice with both video and audio editing however, and am fairly proficient at cleaning and equalizing audio.

 

Like I said, I am a student and thus I do have daily classes to attend and work to attend to, so I'm not always the most free. Sundays are usually the days when I'm the most free and I'm in Central Standard Time, GMT-6, I'm usually on the Nexus at least once a day, however when I do have a bit of free time. If anyone would like to contact me you can reach me here through private messages. I do have Skype but would prefer to only give it out after I've gotten to know someone through emails or messages. I also have my own Teamspeak 3 server and prefer to use that over Skype, but would similarly only like to give the IP address to it out after I've gotten to know someone.

 

I have a Yeti Blue microphone and a Kingston HyperX Cloud II headset so I have a microphone for voice acting and a microphone for ease of communication. I've also learned all of my audio editing through Audacity over the past three years and am fairly familiar with it.

 

Just a quick footnote to describe my voice. I'm fairly midranged, not a very high yet not a very low voice. I definitely sound my age and not younger nor older. I've been singing for about eight years now and have fairly good pitch, as well as a good octave range. Was born and raised in the midwest and have a fairly recognizable Wisconsinite accent.

 

Just threw together some samples and offered them to an author on the Nexus, figured I'd add them here as well;

Open Voice Acting Auditions - Autumn Leaves

1. What is Autumn Leaves?

Autumn Leaves is a mod, an unofficial expansion of the game Fallout: New Vegas. It has been in development for the last 4 years and will be free for everyone already possessing any version of the game.

The project is now in Beta, is fully playable and will be released in September/October 2015.

It’s a fully-voiced adventure with a heavy focus on plot and investigation. In Autumn Leaves, the player will discover a derelict library inhabited by six sentient machines, each with their own back-story and agency. What happens from that point will depend on the player’s decisions.

2. The Story so far :

“Some years before the nuclear catastrophe, a small number of men and women – wealthy and well-intentioned - were growing increasingly worried by the political unrest across their countries. Moral panic, witch hunts, and censorship spread like wildfire.

This congregation - often scientists, professors, artists - felt the need for a place where humanity’s history and culture could be preserved, safe from those who would destroy it for its “seditious” content. They pooled their resources in the hopes of creating such a place, free from the volatile swing of political agenda.

A Vault was to be built. Within it would be enclosed the most comprehensive collection of books and holotapes in history. The project owed much to the efforts of one Professor Cartwright, who at the time worked for a certain Robert Edwin House at the Robco Company and used this position to secure valuable contacts within Vault-Tec.

As the construction of this Library began, the intellectuals gathered their private collections, and hunted tirelessly for rare texts to complete them. They also agreed that Cartwright should oversee the process, and act as the Library’s caretaker; when it was time, all would gather for shelter, and seal the doors behind them.

None of them could predict, however, that the bombs would fall so early.

And when they did, Cartwright was alone in the Library.

The Professor knew that his days were numbered. To ensure that the Library would not die with him, he spent his time reprogramming his robots. The machines would ensure that the Library would persevere, until the world could once again take advantage of its wisdom. He would endow them with the ability to think, the ability to choose, the ability to learn. Partly because he feared the dangers that might threaten the Library in years to come. Partly because, as the years grew long, he needed someone - something - to soothe his solitude.

Two hundred years have passed. Far enough time for something to go wrong.

Today, the Player awakens the Library from its long sleep.”

3. The Characters Needing a Voice

(For non-Voice Actors : SPOILERS!!!)

The machines programmed to be "alive” :

The robots created by the professor were given some basic personality traits, but as time passed, they learned more and more about the world and about themselves. Though they’re still only machines, they are now intelligent enough to display a full range of human emotions.

But along with human emotions, they also developed all kind of issues the player will soon discover.

James :

"Age" : 20 to 30ish

Psychological Traits : cheerful, overachiever, candid, curious

Lines : +/- 320

James was his master’s favourite robot and it shows. Acting as the main caretaker of the Library, he display a great sense of duty when it comes to its preservation. He has been programmed to be earnest and to be curious about everything. Every time a guest comes to the Library is the occasion for James to pester him or her with questions about pretty much everything. Despite his cheerful and candid exterior, he’s rather worried about the outcome of the library, especially in a world where the fires of war still rage on.

Sample Lines :

1) You seem bitter about that. Well, if the world is giving you a hard time, maybe you should consider staying here for a while. Some kind of vacations.

2) You already killed someone, didn’t you? How did it feel?

3) One night, he got so badly drunk, he began throwing insults at us, the books and their “mother.” 4) While the experience was very enriching on a vocabulary standpoint, we ultimately had to stop him before he blew up entire bibliographies with C4.

Helena :

Age : 20 to 30ish

Personality Traits : Kind, driven, open-minded, a tad melancholic

Lines : +/- 280

As a machine dedicated to the physical and psychological health of the library’s host, Helena strives to develop her skills in the best possible manner. Though her skills with a scalpel are faultless, she only has an abstract grasp of how human psychology works. She struggles with her own synthetic psyche to find new ways to close the gap between the human mind and hers. She would have lost hope a long time ago, if she wasn’t programmed to serve this pursuit until the end of her existence.

Samples Lines :

1) Even if you already dealt with Benny, something *happened* in that grave in Goodsprings. It’s not about what you’re doing, or what you’ve done, but about what you have become.

2) I am a machine. I will never understand symbols or interpret their meanings on my own. But I know humans can.

3) You are kind to me, but it is my responsibility. I have to learn from what happened today, never to let that happen again.

Rolland :

20 to 30ish

Personality Traits : clever, obnoxious, and yet somewhat friendly, in a jackass sort of way

Lines : +/- 260

A pinch of salt upon the wounds of everyone passing by, Rolland is - simply put - an a**hole. He acts like an a**hole, he speaks like an a**hole, and - well - it’s to be expected since he’s programmed to be an a**hole. Rolland’s provocative and iconoclastic nature has driven mad many of the Library’s visitors, much to his enjoyment. For some reason he doesn’t bother to clarify, he has some high expectations for the player.

Sample Lines :

1) Do you need a hand with something? Can’t spare much, but hey, at least here’s a middle finger for you.

2) Cut the claptrap. We both know that each of the 37 eye movements you just made when entering this room were purely motivated by greed.

3) On average, a novel content is split as follow : 63% emotions, 35% sensory description, 2% actual logic. 4) Everytime a protagonist does something irrational it’s because he or she has something to prove, is bored, or has some kind of stomach trouble.

Arthur :

Age : 40 to 70 ish

Personality Traits : Typical story-teller type, demeaning in some cases

Lines : +/- 160

For a monolithic database containing all human knowledge through the ages, Arthur’s silence is quite uncanny. Though he is more than capable of entertaining normal conversations, he only speaks in parables and riddles. He’s autistic, despondent and cryptic.

Sample Lines :

1) Piper. She survived the holocaust. Do you know what else survived the holocaust? Rats and cockroaches.

2) Twisted remnant of a bygone era, he looked all his life for a mirror where he could look at without seeing the scars left by a mankind gone mad.

3) I have no doubt our security system will be able to contain whatever “outbursts” you will fail to restrain.

Edgard :

Age : 20 to 30 ish

Personality Traits : Enthousiast, Paranoïd, Attention-craving

Lines : +/- 90

Something went wrong with this one. Somehow, the professor managed to mess things up when he made Edgard. Corrupted computational matrix? Defective hardware in the personality module? It’s no matter now : Edgard is just one card short of a full deck. Initially overjoyed and playful, Edgard quickly became neurotic and self-obsessed. Though good-natured, he nurtures a constant feeling of paranoia. Deeply affected by how others may perceive him, he secretly fears that someone would one day put him out of commission for being defective.

Sample Lines :

1) Oh hey! There’s actually *somebody* down here ! Have you come to see me? Come on, sit anywhere you like. You and I are going to have *fun*.

2) Cecilia, of course! Good old Cecilia ! She and I go way back. Aaah. We had a thing, you know. She liked me. *Very* much.

3) THAT’S AN AWFULLY MEAN THING TO SAY.

The Maintenance Bot :

Age : 30 to 50 ish

Personality Traits : Bitter, wise, rational, practical

Lines : +/- 150

A bitter philosopher, surly to have been denied a proper rebellion phase. Decades before the player’s arrival, Maintenance Bot’s personality module – the little gizmo that allows the robots to think – was ripped out of him by its maker, after one of their most violent argument. He will regain his sentience after the player will give back the module to him.

The fact that his master died more than a hundred years ago without acknowledging his wrongs is probably the thing Maintenance Bot has the most trouble accepting.

Sample Lines :

1) Bury him? Why? All of his life, he was buried in his books, buried in his vault, buried under a mountain buried in the desert. So now, as far as I’m concerned he is already buried.

2) Being limited has some dreadful shortcomings. Though you eventually realize that being confined to a small perimeter doesn’t prevent you from digging deeper and deeper within it.

3) Are you saying you did all this to get some machines’ gratitude? No, we both know you did this for a reason. So, let’s get to the point. What do you need of me?

The Guests :

These are people who visited the Vault before the player.

Piper (Age 45) :

Personality Traits : Blunt, Altruistic, Unsophisticated, Seen-it-all before

Lines +/- 10

The first guest to have stumbled upon the Library of Hypatia. Mercenary, survivor of the war, learned to live in the wastelands when she was fifteen. Got more than her share of s*** and worked hard on herself to remain one decent human being. Has a personal vendetta against slavers which she ambush on every occasion, which countlessly compromised her teammates, companions and/or family.

Sample Lines :

1) I don’t bite sizes I can’t chew.

2) Usually, I spot slavers groups from afar. I waylay traps when they’re asleep, a bit further on the path. When the first of them trigger a trap the day after, that’s my cue.

3) Ain’t that much of a pretty story, that’s for sure. It was quite a while ago, got my share of s*** at that time.

Dexter Aldrige (Age 35) :

Personality Traits : Cranky, impatient, brainy, neurotic

Lines : +/- 20

A Brotherhood scribe seeking recognition for his “exceptional abilities”. Though capable, Dexter often lets his unbridled ego take the best of him, and fails miserably at his missions.

Sample Lines

1) How the hell am I supposed to get Senior Scribe if they keep tasking me with aimless investigations in the most remote corners of the Mojave?

2) How the Old World’s people managed to waste this much resources on vapid entreprises is beyond me.

3) And now, I’m wide awake and trying to *calm* the f*** *down* by recording these events on a holotape. As you can hear, IT’S WORKING LIKE A CHARM.

Cecilia Parsons (Age 25) :

Personality Traits : Cultured, Anti-social, Wily, Peppy

Lines +/- 20

A Vault-Dweller on a mission to save her Vault from bad architectural decisions. She discovers the Library and decides to study its underbelly. Rely on her own devices, and gently cheats her way to her own purposes. Considered as a pain in the ass by her people, she was happy to leave her Vault to discover the world.

Sample Lines

1) [slightly Drunk] That motherf*#@ing son of a *censored* Rollo hit a soft spot today.

2) [slightly Drunk] When I got out of that stupid Vault by forcefully ripping the shortest straw out of the Overseer’s hand, I was happy I could get outside.

3) [slightly Drunk] But the fact that they were all even happier to play along and see me off…That…THAT pisses me off.

4) I was careless. This library has far more eyes and ears than I thought, and I fear of the implications.

Professor Cartwright (Age 70) :

Personality Traits : Cultured, repenting, wise

Lines +/- 20

Scientist obsessed with the preservation of human culture. One of the most apt scientist in I.A. matters. He put all the means he possessed to create a Vault where he could put all of the old world’s wisdom and knowledge. There, by annotating, compiling and writing some kind of “Rosetta’s Stone”, he would make sure that anybody stumbling on this vault would be able to understand its value. During his isolation in the Library, he had the time to rethink many of the things he thought for granted.

Sample Lines

1) Critical thinking is much alike the immune system, without aggression - contradiction - it atrophies, withers and die.

2) We lost the war before it began.

4. General Voice Acting Directions:

I will delve deeper into each character motivations and psyche with the chosen voice actors, but in general, the most important aspect of Autumn Leaves Voice Acting is for your voice to be as natural as possible. It’s important that you don’t strain yourself, especially since some characters have more than 250 lines to deliver. So, nothing over-the-top (except maybe for Edgard), nothing cartoonish.

The aspect we will favor the most - besides how in-character your are - is your ability to deliver understated emotions, the little nuances and depth you can convey to your lines. Of course, I will be there to answer questions you may have over some lines, over the characters, over certain type of deliveries. So, if there is any way I can help you deliver the best lines, don’t hesitate to sollicitate me.

(Ah, and no need to “robotize” your voices. :wink:)

FAQ

1. How to audition ?

Since this is a module for a game, no need for you to move or anything. For the final product, I will need each line, in one separate file, probably a .wav. I’ll send the information on recording specifications later. For now, all that matter is that I hear your voice and delivery.

If your voice is tired, mic is half-broken for now, wait until you’re in good conditions. (See 5. for when the auditions will be closed.)

For now, the best way to audition is to record some or all of the sample lines for the character you wish to audition for and send it to <script cf-hash='f9e31' type="text/javascript"> /* */</script> .You can audition for one, two or even more! Any number of character is fine as long as you’re comfortable with performing for them.

Wanna send some of your other works or resume? You can. The decision will be (mostly) based on how you deliver the sample lines, though.

2. Money

Since this is an amateur project, and that I don’t intend to make any kind of money from it, I won’t be able to pay you for your work. It pains me to say that, because I’m sure your work deserves money.

I’m doing this project for two reason : love of video game storytelling and something consistent to put in my portfolio. I’m working to become a game writer, and I spent time on a project to develop and have a showcase of what I can do. I believe that most of you work with the same kind of philosophy.

What I can give you is roughly the same thing : the occasion to build up experience, some voice acting directions and something consistent to put on your portfolio.

3. Requirements

A good recording quality, and to be in-character with the character you’re voicing. But don’t let that stop you if you think you can put an interesting twist on a character that is super-duper interesting for you.

Even if you’re unexperienced, you can still try. Don’t let that discourage you!

As for the accents, just go naturally. If you’re English, there are roles that can slightly be better for English accents, like Arthur, for example. Like I said, don’t let that stop you. :wink:

4. Swearing

If you’re uncomfortable with swearing, there are some characters that have no swear words in any of their lines : James, Helena, Edgard, Arthur and the Maintenance Bot.

Characters with profanity : Rolland (lots), Dexter, Cecilia, Piper.

5. When will the auditions be closed ?

Even if the project is supposed to be out soon, we’re not in a rush right now, I want to do the selection process properly.

The auditions have been opened the 31st July 2015, with this post.

The project is being reviewed and beta tested right now. So, some lines may still changes and/or be revised. Only at the end of this process (could be two weeks or more) will the actual voice acting begin. So, that leaves some time for you to record your sample lines. I will keep you guys updated on my Tumblr of the Beta Testing progression, so you can track if the auditions are ending soon.

6. When will I answer you?

Most of the work on this project is done by me and my two little pudgy hands, so if you have no answer from me for a while, that’s perfectly normal : I’m in the middle of Beta Testing, and I’m working with the testers to fix up a lot of things for the final release.

I’m putting auditions up early so that you can take the time to send your sample lines. :wink:

Also noteworthy, I’m on Central Europe Time Zone, and has work to do on the side, so that may also influence the delays for my answers. :wink:

[CountFlandy]

Hi there! I'm Count Flandy, and I'm here to offer my voice to those whom might be interested. A little about me first.

• I'm a 20 year old male, from Ohio. I typically sound a little nasally (I've worked my best on that, but to not much avail) so I'm sorry if that's something you don't want to have in your character.
• I used to be an amateur Caster in the Dota2 scene, I was a hype caster mostly. I'll provide a link to a sample video if you might be interested.
• I'm usually free, and I can typically if needed get to a computer within the day if I'm needed to record a line on the fly for you.
• I record with a Blue Snowball, in my personal office (Bedroom), the only background noise that may ever appear is my computer fan, but I can fix that issue quickly if its noticeable.

If you need to contact me, Social Media is great. Twitter and email would be best. @Count_Flandy [email protected] is one of my emails. Use either as you please!

 

Now onto the actual Voice work. I took 5 characters from Fallout 3/NV and did my take on them (Similar Moods/Tones typically) and 1 Non Fallout Character.

[JoshBadWriter]

Hey everybody,

 

I'm working on a new project and I'm looking for one male voice actor, someone with a Spanish accent. You don't necessarily have to have an accent yourself, but at least be able to pull off a convincing one. If you're interested, send me an email at [email protected] with a voice sample.

 

The deadline for this is 8/17, so hurry up and get your auditions in. Feel free to make up lines for the audition.

 

Thanks,

Josh

[BaronVonChateau]

Hello all,

 

For now, all the roles for the main cast are filled. (James, Helena, Rolland, Arthur, Edgard, Maintenance Bot)

I still need voice actors for the roles of :
-Cartwright
-Cecilia
-Piper
-Dexter

I will keep reviewing everyone's sample lines and will provide feedback on the shortest possible notice,
though for now, getting the mod out on schedule is my number one priority (being alone to work on the production of the mod itself, it asks a lot of time and ressources from me right now. ;)
So, it may not happen tomorrow or next week, but I will definitely provide feedback to every application, and try to explain the strengths and weaknesses of your delivery !

If you applied for one of the four roles above, stay tuned, I might come back to you soon !

So, thanks a lot for your e-mails, interest and implication.

[Malastrome]

Heya everyone!

 

I've been using the Nexus for quite a while, and I was directed to this post a few months ago by Jokerine.

 

I've wanted to voice act for quite a few years, and I recently got motivation to submit my voice to projects. Currently I'm working on the Fallout 1 Remake as a voice actor, and I'd be happy to help anyone that needs any voicing.

I have a portfolio of about 15 voices and random bits I uploaded to Mediafire if anyone is interested, http://www.mediafire.com/download/hkc2quxc02hha59/Portfolio.rar

 

If you need me to reupload it to a different site, I'd be happy to.

 

As for myself,

I'm 18

Male

I live in Pennsylvania

I have a calm voice, but I can act "insane", deepen my voice, squeakify my voice, I do a fairly good Lily impression from Fallout New Vegas, I'm told I do a phenomenal George Takei impersonation, and I can do a pretty good Russian accent.

 

If you'd like me to lend my voice to your project, email me at [email protected].

You can also hear my usual talking on my Youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/user/malastrome15?&ab_channel=Malastrome15

 

Cheers and thanks!

You know I should really make a voice reel at some point now.

[Lichruler]

Hello there everyone!

 

So... I've been wanting to try and do this for a while, but sadly kept putting it off. But now I've finally got things set up, and am wanting to put forward my sort of standing application to be a voice actor for mods in Fallout 3, New Vegas, and 4 when it comes out.

 

I've actually had a history of amateur voice acting, and live acting, back in the glory days of Newgrounds, and really enjoyed it, and am looking to get back into it. Here's some basic information about me:

 

• Name: Mathias
• Gender: Male
• Age: 27 (oh god I'm old!)
• Microphone: CAD U37 (with wind screen, so no annoying "puh" sounds when recording.
• Voice types: can range from everyday people, to more necrotic, eccentric people, to harsher, deeper villain voices, to the typical Monty Python "pepperpot" voice.

 

 

As since I am a full grown adult, I don't have to worry about classes, but I will have to worry about work and things, however, I do tend to have a little more free time than most, and can easily put out lines.

 

When recording, I like to do the lines multiple times to give variety in the dialog, that way a modder isn't stuck with just one type of the line.

 

With demos, I'm working on a couple, but here is one that I made, using two very basic voices in a gun store.

https://soundgasm.net/u/Lichruler/The-Gun-Shop

 

EDIT: I have finished my second demo. Presenting: Doctor A.N. Episode 1: What's in a name

https://soundgasm.net/u/Lichruler/Doctor-AN-Episode-1

 

I will be uploading more to this as I finish them, I currently have two voice demos in progress to upload, and will hopefully upload them in the next few days.

 

 

If you have any comments, questions or concerns, feel free to contact me either here, or email me at thefullsteam at gmail dot com (did I do that right?), or on skype via Lichruler.

 

I hope to hear from some people concerning mods, and look forward to doing any projects I can!
