Voice actors needed for mod.

[C4]

Name of Project: The Reformed

Summary of what it's about: A story about a couple of criminals or just not nice people that receive a second chance due to freakish events that give them super powers and instead of turning into super villains they decide to use this gift to atone for all the bad they have done.

Format: an original amateur mod
none of the characters are existing (copyrighted characters) They where all created by me.

Recording information -

-Record in [44100hz 16-bit Stereo MP3] (Wav are fine as well)

There are no swearing or profanity in this.

Characters I need voices for:

The Heroes
1. Avian - An ex hit man
Gender: Male
Age: (29)
Accent / Origin: South African (but I don't necessarily need an actor to do the accent the quality of voice acting and ability to capture the character is far more important than the accent)

Voice type/Personality: Examples of what he should sound like is the dude from Shoot them up. He is a bit brooding with a terrible past but in his transformation wants to really try to make up as a super hero. A very strong male type that can take anything you can dish out but can be made soft by the right lady. He is the leader of the group.
Audition lines: Do I look like a hero (tough guy sarcasm)
Please, I can't... I won't let you die on me (sad)

2. Silhouette - An ex hooker / thief
Gender: Female
Age: (19)
Accent / Origin: South African
Voice type/Personality: A very attractive lady that took the wrong path but turns her life around by joining the superhero team. She is very feminine with a soft voice. She is the love interest to Avian though he is unaware of everything in her past. She is pretty much the girl all the guys want to protect and everyone falls in love with. A pretty voice  Maybe like a princess that used to be cleaning lady.
Audition lines: You have never met anyone like me before
(challenging/arrogant)
Stop it, I have been indulging way to much
(flattered)

3. Vista - An ex Mortician
Gender: Male
Age: (52)
Accent / Origin: South African, (British decent)
Voice type/Personality: He buried himself in his work. He receives a very powerful ability. He is rather bitter with losing his wife and his life not really turning out as he wanted. Something like the boss on crossing Jordan is an example though more British less American.
Audition lines: Man do I need some sunlight (neutral)
I am the wrong old guy to piss off (angry)

4. Double S - An ex gun designer for SA Police
Gender: Male
Age: (24),
Accent / Origin: South African
Voice type/Personality: A hip guy with a love of American Hip Hop scene. Very fun loving arrogance, Outspoken, Joker, Charmer almost something like Chris Tucker. So in this case an American accent won't matter.
Audition lines: Is it just me or are we the nastiest super hero
team ever (joking)
Man if I did not have to save the world I would so be
kissing you right now (hitting on a girl)

5. Serengeti - An ex Poacher mainly operating in middle Africa
Gender: Male
Age: (32),
Accent / Origin: South African
Voice type/Personality: A very big and bold African with a deep strong voice and a teddy bear heart. Like Michael Clark Duncan but maybe even bolder in voice depth.
Audition lines: My name is Odanga, protector of Etosha (proud)
They took her! What kind of cowardly animal
would do this! (angry)

6. Brace - An ex mine owner SA but from Chinese parents.
Gender: Female
Age: (31),
Accent / Origin: Chinese but faded since she grew up in SA
Voice type/Personality: A lady used to being rich and in control but also overweight. As a super hero her powers help towards turning the overweight issue around. She has no shortage in funds and devotes her time towards Martial arts and perfecting what used to be a mess. Her Chinese accent would be toned down a lot since she grew up in SA. She is an introvert. You can take any Asian actress that grew up in another country like USA as an example.
Audition lines: You can be glad this blade is so sharp (sarcasm)
If we can not find a way to beat them then no one
will. (neutral)

Gender: Male
Age: unknown but maybe 35 sounding
Accent / Origin: none (heaven)
Voice type/Personality: Basically a friendly very forthcoming though intelligent sounding male with as neutral as possible sounding accent.

My name is Dariel and I have been sent here to show you the way (neutral)




Villains

8. Ruin - An ex cop SA
Gender: Male
Age: (30),

9. Rage - A world kickboxing champion
Gender: Male
Age: (33),

Voice type/Personality: This guy is a look you in the eye while carving it out kinda nasty work. He intimidates and is all about being better/stronger than you.
Audition lines: My mother said always be considerate, so that is why I cleaned this knife before I stabbed you with it. (sarcasm)

11. Feedback - a Scientist
Gender: Female
Age: (26),
Accent / Origin: Born in Cameroon and working in SA
Voice type/Personality: Has always been in the shadow of others, is smart but frustrated with her life. She is on the fence about being a super villain. She would be an intelligent though still pleasant sounding voice. She is educated, I think Jolie from Tombraiders correct way of speaking is a good example. Or if you can think of an african actress version of that.
Audition lines: Wow! Now that is cool (surprised)
Please don't hurt me, I did not want t... (afraid)

And lastly civilians (male & female & children)
Audition lines: Wow! you are that hero guy (impressed)
Aaah! Run (scared)
Though any of you up for civilian roles are fine.

Auditions can be sent to: gerhard@imaginet.co.za
Deadline for auditions: 6 April 2008.

The whole theme of the mod is a bit more dark / mature / modern than FF. But not rated mature. So basically people are not overly cheery.

i could sooo do the lingerie person

I would love to hear it. Will pm you with details.

[C4]

Here is some questions and answers that should help people who are interested but not too sure on the details. I will add more as I go along.

Q: I want to do online voice acting! How do I get started?
A: Check out the Voice Acting Club or the Voice Acting Alliance. There are plenty of tutorials there that will help you start out.

http://voiceacting.proboards62.com/

Q: What program(s) do you use for recording and mixing?
A: For recording I use Audacity. If you're a beginner starting out I recommend Audacity because it's free and easy to use. For mixing productions, demos, etc I use Adobe Audition.. which is NOT free. Please don't ask me where to get codes or to send you my copy; it's your responsibility to find out where/how to get it.

http://audacity.sourceforge.net/

Q: How do you get your quality so clear sounding?
A: Usually sound cards that come with your computer have tons of excess noise, but I bought a USB condenser microphone which allows for much clearer sound. It has a little excess static but that can easily be cleaned up with Noise Reduction. I also make sure that the input volume isn't up too high, as that causes lines to peak and distort.

[catwhowalksbyhimself]

I'd also recommend having the microphone below the mouth rather than speaking into it. It reduces the blowing sound for certain sounds.

Thanks Cat

I updated the first post since I have added a lot more detail.  ^_^

[smasher501]

Hi I think i could do some voice acting. I'll audition for male civilian, Dariel and maybe someone else.

I'll just get a mic thing and you should see my audition sometime soon.

Thanks mate. =)
