drewsbrew Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Hello, all! So, straight to the point; I need a voice actor for a fairly minor part. For this specific character the idea I have in mind is a female Imperial, but I am flexible. If I have to, I could make either a male or female character of virtually any race work for this particular story. OK, so here are the details; I’m working on a mod that is a complete overhaul of crime, and the features are far too numerous to mention here, so I’ll stick to what this is actually for. I’m adding a number of ‘safe houses’ the player can establish all around Skyrim. Each safe house will be in a secret, out-of-the-way location, and will be a small version of a Hearthfires style ‘build-your-own-home’, except that you aren’t actually building the structure of the safe house; it’s more like you’re repurposing it. I want to try my best to have an option to get someone else (an NPC) to do the hard work in order to accommodate different play styles, character personalities, etc. which brings me to why I need a voice actor… So, I’m working on a safe house in Whiterun hold; remember that destroyed cabin a little ways outside the city? That cabin now has a secret basement that you can gain access to through a well. That basement is going to be the safe house for that area. The former owner was a proper lunatic; he was kind of the Skyrim version of a Doomsday prepper, a bit of a conspiracy theorist, and an avid supporter of the Stormcloaks. Despite all of his prepping, he wasn’t prepared for the dragon that destroyed his house and him with it. He’s dead and gone now, and hence is NOT the character I need a voice actor. However, a couple of days before the dragon took him and his house out, our lunatic friend kidnapped a traveler (an Imperial woman?) who he was convinced was a spy of some sort. She’s not, but let’s face it, the former owner of this house is not the kind of person who listens to reason. He locked her in the basement and she is still down there! So, in a nutshell, the player will enter the basement and hear this person calling out for help. In terms of the quest to claim this safe house, the player can either just kill the prisoner to be rid of them and ensure no one talks about the location of this safe house, or release the prisoner no questions asked, or release the prisoner on the condition that they clean the place up first. There will also be some dialogue options related to the story, the former owner, etc., but that’s the extent of what I’m looking for. We’re not talking about a major quest, or a companion character with hundreds of lines of dialogue, or anything like that. However, I want everyone to keep in mind that there will be A LOT more characters who I need voice actors for, I’m just not quite ready for those other parts yet. Like I said, the character I have in mind is an Imperial woman, but I could just as easily make it a male character, they could also be any race of elf, or an Argonian, or a Khajiit and still easily work in the story. I’m building the mod in Oldrim, but will be porting it to SE and releasing for both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanalulu Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 What would be required of the VA? (mic technology, how loud of a recording you'd need for the yelling, any strictness of schedule or needed availability, etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drewsbrew Posted February 12, 2019 Author Share Posted February 12, 2019 Hanalulu, I don't necessarily have any specifics in mind in terms of technology, admittedly, audio is not really my strong suit; I make videos from time to time, I have some experience with audacity and Adobe Audition, but that is about it. My main concern is that the audio quality is good... if it is I'll be happy. As far as availability goes there is no schedule. I work a regular job myself and understand that everyone else has their own commitments, obligations, etc. As far as the loudness of yelling and that kind of thing, I'm happy to give the VA a lot of leeways to play the character how they want as long as the performance is good. I don't imagine there would be a lot of really loud yelling in this role because there isn't an imminent threat. That being said, if the VA wanted to play up the idea that this is someone who has been traumatized and is in a state of panic, as long as they could really sell the performance I'd roll with it.

c0ax599 Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 I hope you search all these forums, I saw a English girl offering voice acting recently.. This should somehow be in a consolidated forum. Not a new forum but somehow pushed to say "this forum".. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drewsbrew Posted February 25, 2019 Author Share Posted February 25, 2019 @Ni9thh I don't have a solid script just yet, but can get one written soon. It is a very minor part so it definitely won't take too long. Feel free to PM me with any links to YouTube vids or whatever you might have because I will definitely be looking for voice actors for a long time, I' sure; there are three mods I'm working on right now, and at least two will need quite a few voice actors, plus I am getting to be a fairly skilled 3D artist at this point and I have plans for putting together some animated vids I'll probably post to YouTube, but those are plans for the distant future. Also, I'll undoubtedly be making mods for Skyrim even after TES 6 comes out, and will likely also be making mods for TES 6 as well. Point is, I'll be around for a long time, and I'm always looking to network with other creatives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
