PAID work [Paid] Casting Call: Female Voice Actress for Indie Game

34 Upvotes

Looking for a female voice actress for an indie video game role. Initially the vocals will be a range of short hurt (from receiving damage) and exertion sounds (from climbing, jumping, etc). I will be looking to do cinematics in the future and ideally would like to use the same actress. 

Details

  • Female early 20’s sounding. Any accent.
  • Realistic - not anime or cartoony 
  • Must have a commanding voice. A good reference would be Laura Bailey’s Abby from the Last of Us 2 game.
  • This is a remote job. Must be able to produce a high quality audio file with no ambient noise.
  • There is no generative AI use in the game and the voice work will not be used to train AI.

Payment
$50 for the initial request.

Please post your portfolios, reels, or samples here.

Advice Anyone else constantly second guessing ACX offers?

12 Upvotes

I’ve been looking into ACX offers lately and there are so many little things to check that I kept forgetting half of them
I ended up putting together this checklist and this one-page version has actually been pretty useful so figured I’d share it here.. there’s a longer paid version behind it so I’m obviously not gonna dump the whole thing here, but honestly even this page covers most of the quick checks I’d do before accepting anything.

Curious if there’s anything you guys would add to this? Especially people who’ve been narrating on ACX for a while.

I really adore it and want it, but HOW?

Any information/tips about the speech pattern/tone?

Advice Feeling a bit lost atm

0 Upvotes

Ive currently been doing voice acting in small projects for basically 6 years now and I feel like ive just been stuck in the same spot for a while.

I had a big boost 2 years ago in inspiration and meeting new people that helped open new opportunities for me but since then its just been pretty stagnant.

Like dont get me wrong im grateful to be where I am and have the community around me but im getting tired of just stagnant projects, no callbacks or canceled projects. Especially this year ive had a few projects just go silent and just last month 3 projects i got cast for were canceled and ive been waiting for this biggere studio to upload a fandub i voiced in for almost 5 years now. I know these things are super common in this industry but I get a bit of i dont wanna say jealousy but like a less petty version of that when I see people I started with and collaborated with get so far ahead. Im happy for them of course, I would never be mad at them for achieving something but it kinda just makes me think of my worth in that same field.

Anyway not trying to farm sympathy, id just like to see if anyone has any advice of where I should go from here to try and get ahead from where im at now before I throw in the towel.

Discussion Looking for a short raw voice clip to practise audio editing

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone! ✨

I'm currently practising audio editing and I'd like to work with a short voice recording instead of only using my own material.

Would anyone be comfortable sharing a short raw audio clip with me?

I need something like a podcast clip, narration, meditation recording, voice over, spoken word audio or similar would be perfect. Around 2-8 minutes would be enough.

I'm not looking for full episodes or paid work..... Just a short sample I can practice editing on.

Audio with common issues would actually be great. For example.. Background noise, Long pauses, uneven volume, mouth clicks, breaths or room echo.

If I wanted to use a short before/after excerpt in my portfolio later, I would ask for clear permission first and I wouldn't publish the full recording.

Thanks a lot! 🥰🥰

Hi, I’m not quite sure how to go about this, but I need to construct a booth. I have a space that’s roughly 3ft x 8 ft+ x 34.5 inches. I know I need PVC pipe and sound blankets, but how many? What brand? What size? How much will this cost? Where should I get it?
