We have a number of voice roles to fill to address unvoiced characters and to support planned future content releases.

I will post VA roles below as they come in so sign up for notifications on this thread!

Our goal with all voice work in SS2 is to match the quality of the base-game, so to submit an audition for this process we require that VA’s have the following

Requirements:

An entry level professional setup including the following:
  • an XLR Condenser Mic (Cardioid) or equivalent High Quality microphone
  • a pop filter
  • DAW software (Audacity, Adobe Audition, Pro Tools, etc),
  • Some experience with acting and/or voice acting is beneficial (all actors must be at least 18 years of age).
  • A quiet recording environment with no background noise.

To Submit your Audition:

Send a forum message to me @Sirlach or email me sirlachinvar@gmail.com.

Use the subject line

SS2C3 Audition - {Your Name} - {Audition Role Name}

and follow the directions below for the audio recording.

Stats for Nerds:

For audition audio submissions please provide the raw audio files (no processing) in the following format
  • .WAV file format (No MP3's or other exotic formats please)
  • Mono
  • 44.1 kHz / 16bit.

Record all audition lines included for the character, and only provide one take for each line. Please make sure to include your name and the character name in the name of the file.

E.g. SirLach_NPCName_01.wav

When recording, please follow the scene context and line instructions provided for the character.


Role Information:

Lead characters: Over 100 lines (If you are cast or auditioning for a major character, make sure you have enough time set aside for recording).
Supporting characters: Between 20 and 100 lines.
Minor characters: Between 10 and 20 lines.
Extra characters: Less than 10 lines.

For any characters that reference masks, helmets, etc. Do Not add any filters or editing to your file to mimic these. We mention them just as a reference for your own convenience.

Non-human characters that require significant audio effects or modulation will have a special tag in their name. Do not add any filters or editing to your auditions. For ghouls you must record with a ghoul rasp, that fits the rasp information provided in the casting call, to be considered. (If you need an example of a ghoul rasp please reference ghouls in Fallout 3, Fallout 4, or New Vegas).

Unless we specify a specific accent, characters of all species are expected to have a general North American accent. (Yes even the Aliens! )

If you are successful with your audition, you will receive an invitation to the VIP VA Discord server for Sim Settlement's Voice Actors and you will then receive your lines, recording instructions, deadlines, and important character information, within a week.

If at any point we lose contact with you for over a month without notice and with no ability to reach you, we reserve the right to recast the role.

Please find the roles below!

Full Name: "Young" Paul Jones
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Role: Minor
Age Range: 50-60
Appearance: Silm, Wiry Muscle, Elder
Voice Tone: Aged but friendly
Accent: Slightly Old Prospector Voice (sounds a bit like Old Paul)
Personality: Friendly but reserved, not as extroverted as his father
Light Bio: Grew up in Diamond city, but left the local area to become a merc in his 20's. Was on good terms with his father, but both were very independent and often disagreed on issues. Is married, has two kids, and a grandchild. Now in his mid 60's, Paul is still in good health and looks like he might live as long as his father. Paul is sheriff of a town just outside of the Commonwealth. He usages the gunsmithing skills and experience as a merc to keep his town safe.

Notes: Young Paul should sound similar to his father, but not too much. He has a hint of Old Paul's accent, and will at times use similar terminology in his speech. However, is is less eccentric than his father, and not as social.

Old Paul Footage for Reference. -> https://drive.google.com/file/d/1QBEiu-96xPtJLO-c_Lk_cMvvsrTGUt8m/view

Lines: (The context is he is being asked about himself)
1. Me? Well, can't say my life has been as colorful as my fathers... However, I've had my fair share of adventures!
2. Grew up in Diamond City, lost my mother when I was young, although, took us some time to figure -that- out...
3. Learned gunsmithing from my father, grew up, became a merc, traveled the wastes! Met my wife, had children, grandchildren...
4. And now, I take care of law and order in a settlement -- just on the borders of the Commonwealth. Enjoying my old age.
