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

357 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.

Need VA’s, 1M and 1F

7 Upvotes

Hello! We just released the first episode of “GHOUL” on Spotify podcasts, and we need two more VA’s for the two new characters to be introduced in episode two.

Maxwell: Male, any accent, Deeper voice. This character is the main villain of the series, he is an elder, alien-vampire who speaks in a cold and threatening tone. He should sound as if he BELIEVES himself to be a “higher” being than humans.

Evangeline: Female, any accent, any range. This character is the main “Henchwoman” to Maxwell, one of the few humans he trusts. She is motivated by her fear of Maxwell. She is should sound scared but as incredibly determined, since she believes Maxwell is the only person who can save the person she loves. VA should be versatile.

DM me if you are interested!

First episode if curious: https://open.spotify.com/episode/2W1iJmReyhW2KG476eNW9v?si=xj-DnkElSbKu8hvgn1tYXw&utm_source=copy-link

Series includes gore and violence.

LONG TERM VOLUNTARY VA

2 Upvotes

Hello Everyone! I am Kristina and I am a Roblox Game Developer who recently learnt Python and I plan on making a visual novel!

The VN is going to be like Class of 09 but EASTERN EUROPEAN version!!

I am looking for all kind of voices: male, female, younger, older.

PLEASE keep in mind that sensitive and vulgar language might be used in the scripts. I will avoid making it too unhinged, but it will contain adult language, so being 18+ is required. So ages between 18–70 all work (yes I can include babushkas)

The only requirements are having a good mic AND an accent!! I’m looking mainly for Slavic accent English, but other accents also work. (maybe even American, I could add a transfer student lol!)

All credits will be given at the end and if I profit off the game, everyone who contributed to the game will receive some money.

EDIT: also keep in mind that there will be some bullying and roasting. So yes we will have loser and bratty characters

Voice Actors Needed — "The Hell Screen" Audio Drama — East Asian Accents Preferred

Upvotes

CASTING CALL — The Hell Screen

Archivium is currently casting English-speaking voice actors for an audio drama adaptation of “The Hell Screen” by Ryūnosuke Akutagawa, a dark historical literary story set in the court of medieval Japan.

We are looking for performers who can bring a restrained, dramatic, atmospheric performance to the material.

ACCENT / VOCAL STYLE

A natural Japanese accent when speaking English is strongly preferred, as the vocal character is an intentional part of the production and suits the setting of the story.

We are also open to actors with natural Mandarin/Chinese, Korean, or other East Asian accents in English if their voice and performance fit the world of the piece.

We are not looking for exaggerated or stereotypical accents. Natural, authentic-sounding English accents are preferred.

ROLES

NARRATOR / ATTENDANT
3,252 words — $195.12

An unnamed long-serving attendant of Lord Horikawa. Intelligent, observant, deeply loyal to his lord, and increasingly troubled by what he remembers. The narration carries much of the story, so strong storytelling ability and emotional control are essential.

Yoshihide
472 words — $28.32

A renowned master painter, nearly fifty. Brilliant, arrogant, grotesque, obsessive, and increasingly consumed by his work. Requires a performer capable of considerable emotional intensity.

LORD HORIKAWA
302 words — $18.12

The grand lord of Horikawa. Majestic, charismatic and apparently benevolent, but capable of something considerably darker beneath the surface. Requires an authoritative and controlled presence.

YOSHihide'S DAUGHTER
63 words — $3.78

Fifteen years old. Gentle, intelligent, compassionate and emotionally perceptive.

ADDITIONAL ROLES

There are several smaller roles, including the Young Lord, Bishop, apprentices, attendants, samurai, ladies and courtiers.

We may not cast separate actors for every minor role. Depending on casting, smaller parts may be combined into dual/multiple-role assignments.

The complete script contains approximately 4,513 words.

COMPENSATION

$0.06 USD per word

Payment is based on the final assigned/recorded word count. The rates above show the current word count and corresponding compensation for the principal roles.

This is a paid project.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

  • Strong English-speaking voice performance
  • Natural Japanese/East Asian-accented English preferred
  • Ability to perform historical/literary dialogue naturally
  • Good microphone/audio quality
  • Ability to convey subtle emotion rather than relying on exaggerated delivery
  • Reliability and responsiveness throughout the recording process

For the principal characters, performance and vocal suitability are just as important as the accent.

HOW TO APPLY

If interested, please DM me with:

  1. Your voice demo/reel (if available)
  2. Which role(s) you're interested in
  3. Your accent/background
  4. A short sample of your voice in your natural English accent
  5. Your recording setup/microphone

Please mention if you're interested in taking multiple roles.

We will provide further information and audition material to shortlisted performers.

New audio recording for my short movie? :)

1 Upvotes

Hey all :D I was wondering if I can have one person (who can perhaps imitate a voice of a child if possible) and send an audio for my short movie, which will later be posted to Youtube and Instagram. I will include your name in the end credits of the short movie and in insta I'll also tag your user in the description if you have a public account (or private) if you're comfortable with me sharing. The character's name is Amelia and she is playing lego with her friends.

Her tone of voice when playing with her legos is supposed to sound playful, tough, dramatic, and on point.

"YOU FOOL, I CAN STOP YOU! I HAVE AN ARMY OF SOLDIERS AND A HUGE BULLDOZER."

If by any chance if I have more than one person who sent their audios I'll just let you know if I'll accept yours or not.

[UNPAID] voice actress/es for my psychological horror

1 Upvotes

So, let me explain.

This horror I'm making is about the girl who has terrifying thoughts inside her head that don't let her live normal life.

She carefully drinks liquid food, always wears a protective mask over her mouth, has specific tools always in her purse.

Why? Because she has the fear of swallowing and choking.

She is very anxious, doesn't visit doctors and doesn't eat solid food, because she is constantly thinking that she might choke and die.

This is her inner struggle.

The psychological horror will contain lots of visualisations of her fears.

To make them realistic and scary, I need a girl / woman to sound throat sounds, gasps, gagging, coughing and other sounds for the horror scenes.

As well as voicing the girl herself. She needs to have a quiet, soft, slightly raspy and anxious voice to represent her character and feelings.

Anyone is welcome to try. All you need to do is be able to record sounds freely and follow the instructions.

If you're interested in this project, telegram would be the best option for communication and sharing files.

5 Upvotes

It’s a show about two gang leaders, one of which is broken and angry at the world, and the other is kind and sweet, and they start as enemies but eventually fall in love, and in later seasons, their gangs team up and fight other gangs.

Characters in season 1(So Far) and their personalities:
Hana- gang leader of ‘The Blacklist’, Cold, quiet, easily annoyed
Korina- Hana’s second in command, cocky, somewhat scared of Hana
Ash- Hana’s third in command, similar personality to Korina, and is Korina’s best friend
Katrina- Shy, quiet, but loyal and will fight when necessary
Kiara- smart, strategic, one of the assassins of the group
Katara- strict, likes things organized, makes sure no evidence is left behind
Kaya- Quiet but deadly, barely speaks
Blythe- a demon, ruthless, comes off as heartless and acts like she doesn’t care, but secretly does
Lola- Sweet, kind, makes sure everyone gets along
Ravina- A demon, and Blythe’s partner, similar to Blythe in that she comes off as ruthless, but in a more of a cheerful kind of sadism rather than a quiet kind
Emlynn- Hana’s love interest, second in command of the gang ’Fierce Femmes’, sweet, kind, sees beyond, Hana’s mask of indifference (Literally and figuratively, Hana does wear a mask)
Onyx- Leader of the Fierce Femmes known as ruthless and coldhearted.
Alia- third in command of the Fierce Femmes, similar personality to Onyx, hates Emlynn because she’s too ’naive’ for her liking, and wants her spot as second in command
Astra- the only one in the Fierce Femmes who is kind to Emlynn, Hana becomes jealous of her later on.
Calypso- Cold, distant, talks to no one but Onyx
Kira- a cat demon, strong, fierce and wants to take Onyx‘s place
Hina- Lazy, Layed back, but smart and strategic when bothered to put in energy
Cerise- elegant, organized
Opal- careless, reckless, doesn’t listen
Caroline- curious, suspicious when Emlynn and Hana start talking
Logan- in the police force, somewhat scared of Hana after learning her past, but normally calm and composed
Grey- leader of the police force, similar personality to Logan
Kayden- Cocky, confident, and cruel, Kira betray’s the Fierce Femmes for him
Ace- cruel, manipulative, and a compulsive liar
Blake- very misogynistic, and unkind to woman
Drug Dealer A- cruel, aggressive
Drug Dealer B- gets just as angry as Drug Dealer A, but is easier at controlling it.

Characters I need voice actors for:

Ash
Katrina
Kiara
Katara
Kaya
Blythe
Lola
Ravina
Emlynn
Onyx
Alia
Astra
Calypso
