Smitemaster's Selection Voicework Auditions
Our beloved Development Team and Evil Overlords (hi mrimer!) are working on the Smitemaster's Selections at the moment. We do have a good list of voice actors... but more is always better.
So, here is your chance to audition for a voice acting part in one of the upcoming Smitemaster's Selections.
Please see
HERE for reference and a full list of the technical requirements for recording.
Have a microphone, use it properly, reduce noise and record in 44.1khz mono. Don't use software to alter your voice. You'll need to sign an agreement saying that you give ownership of those recordings to Caravel Games. Stick to .ogg form if possible - Audacity is a good program. A full version of the rules is listed at the link above - read it.
One thing... since this is a commercial product, and that we're going to need mostly adult voices... I'm going to have to restrict this audition to forum members over the age of 16. No specific gender roles needed at the moment - all these parts will work equally well with men or women doing them
Audition Lines
You can audition for any many or as few of these parts as you like. You don't have to pick one, you can do all four. There are more parts available than there are lines here, these four lines are just a good representation. Attach your recordings to this thread. You can include more than one recording for the same part, though please keep it all in the same file. Also make sure that at least one of them is your natural-sounding voice, along with any weird ones. If you do use a weird voice, make sure it's a consistent one, that you can replicate on demand.
Announcer (done in the form of a broadcast)
"This is an unscheduled announcement, brought to you by the Scheduling Department."
Person 1 (Bureaucrat)
Please note all directions are based on the last synchronization period and may be currently incorrect.
Person 2 (overdramatic)
Gaze upon the giant glory of our many, many minerals!
Person 3 (slightly crazy. Don't overdo it)
Well, the golems have escaped! They were naughty and didn't want to play Serpents and Stairs.
Please also consider if you audition, why not add yourself to the Voice Acting list for the unofficial holds. Furthermore, if you're an architect - we have a lot of talent in the forum, so why not add some speaking parts to your hold? Even if it's just a few lines.
Finally, mrimer has just started up the audition for
Beethro Budkin's new voice. If you're male and think you can do a good Beethro Budkin voice, then audition!
Edit: mrimer here (hi, Cal!) -- everyone who is chosen to record this SmS and has their voice used in this SmS will receive a
free copy of this SmS on CD, and will have their name placed in the game credits. Also, we'll keep you in mind as future projects become available to reprise your role!

Remember, there's the audition for the voice of Beethro Budkin too. Seriously, audition to be Beethro, what do you have to lose?
- I forgot about this - too immersed in building my Hold. I'll try to get a sound file done tomorrow evening after work.
