Casting Call ^BETA » A Deadly Con

Hey guys. So I made this new game to help voice actors of any level grow as performers. It focuses on voice acting and improv. You record some dialogue, then pass it onto someone else and they respond, then to the next etc. If you're interested, you can try it out at www.voicereact.com. There's now over 160 players and 2100 recordings made, and also chances to win monthly prize drawings. Come listen to the 300+ original scenes created so far. Thanks! Foxwolf

Audition Lines:

Line 1:

"This is fandom, man. This is where we come to be who we really are or embrace what we want to be. It is escapism and what does the world need now more than to just escape?"

Line 2:

"You're cute. You are adorable wrapped up in your big shell pushing people away. But I see you. And you see me. That's why we're still sitting here, trying to figure it all out. How about we see what happens if I kiss you? Want to try it out? Not so tough now, are ya?"

Line 3:

"My parents wouldn�t have run into a fire to save me, but I have plenty of friends who would. I was there for them when nobody else was. Those of us who can be strong have to stay strong or� someone else sees the doubt in our eyes and they give it all up."

Audition Lines:

Line 1:

"Everyone expects a speech, an explanation, a connection between themselves and the person who defeats them. It�s an old storytelling trope that tries to give order to a world where you could be walking past an alley and not live to pass the corner on the other side. Life has no denouement. You, my friend, are only here because you have value to me alive. Otherwise you would have ceased to exist twenty minutes ago. Instead, I would love to give you new life."

Gender:	Male
Age:	Adult
Characteristics/Notes: SUPPORT/MINOR Undet Male Undet Kat's social media/appearance manager; he has many clients but none as lucrative or troublesome as Kat. He works out of Kat's studio in the Stern compound. He is Kat's sounding board, advisor, protector, and rescuer. To people who are of no use to his goals, he is a snide jerk. However, he affects a convincing sincerity among his betters and those who hold his interest and favor. This is a snake-like character listeners will hate just because he's a professional douche. He likes to clip the end of others' sentences or roll an audible, impatient hum over people talking to him. He brings a bitchy attitude to the proceedings.

You need to be logged in to audition. If you do not have an account, please click here to register.

Audition Lines:

Line 1:

"Let me just tell you that Kat�s numbers are higher than last quarter and up higher from last year overall. Her domain value spiked to over fifty grand and her endorsements are in the six figures. She�s a star, my friends, and you would be - yeah, I will say it - STUPID not to sponsor or endorse her. She is the next thing, bigger than anything YouTube has seen in a LONG time."

Line 2:

"Look at you. Daddy Stern asks a favor and you think you�ve got all-access to the estate. Don�t overstep. You�re a little man in WalMart clothes thinking he�s finally got a gold ticket to the places important people go. Well, you don�t. You�re a consumer and a rube. I�ll put up with you, but don�t cross me or I�ll put you in the full solar flare that is the public eye. Got me?"

KENNY WILTON (KEYE MARTINEZ)

Name:	KENNY WILTON (KEYE MARTINEZ)
Gender:	Male
Age:	Adult
Characteristics/Notes: SUPPORT Late 20s Male Hispanic A seasoned science fiction author focusing mainly on �Space Frontier� tie-in books. Struggling with his career options and �bumps� in his relationship with Liz. One of Peter�s few close friends. "Wilton" is a pen name. An established and popular author within his genre, the market has dried up and he is finding it hard to branch out into original projects.

Audition Lines:

Line 1:

"Writing is like anything else, man. You do it. You show up, you do the work, and you finish what you start. Then, if all goes well, you get to pay the rent with your words. I�m not in this to be famous or loved. I tell stories because I�m good at it, enough that I don�t have to wear a name tag or beg some bald clownshoe for a half-night off from the grill anymore."

Graduated high school with Kenny and is friends with Peter. is developing her "brand" identity as a romance writer for fantasy readers.

Audition Lines:

Line 1:

"M.B. Stern put feminism back a generation. His stories are straight up patriarchal bull**** and male entitlement. Women are to be wooed and won, he says. Like his nine wives or whatever, he just collects them, uses them, and moves on. I mean, Alan Horus writes like a narcissistic sociopath, but at least he writes women with agency. It says a lot that the guy who writes books where he�s the god of his own world lets women have more power than the guy who people call the �father� of all modern fantasy literature."

MERO VINZ - AVATAR

Name:	MERO VINZ - AVATAR
Gender:	Male
Age:	Adult
Characteristics/Notes: Game Avatar of Peter Ellis in-world. He is masculine and baritone, with a touch of sensitivity representing the source and his role as a retired soldier-turned-farmer. Heroic but grounded (will likely work with the actor playing Peter Ellis to work out consistency)

You need to be logged in to audition. If you do not have an account, please click here to register.

Audition Lines:

Line 1:

"I used to be a soldier. I earned all this by fighting three major baron wars. I own this entire grid as far north as the Holsfus River and the peaks of the Arduous Mountains. Aside from the houses I lease to other farmers and miners, this is the only house on my land. On the Longbreak Archipelago, mine is the only grid without a standing army. Why?"

Line 2:

"Because it is defended and those defenses have been tested. If you don�t know about the forest between us and the next territory, ask around the capital why deliveries and visitors keep to the roads and why sailors keep to the open water and a direct course to the docks. I�m a farmer, but I was once a soldier, good enough to make sure I�m left alone."

Audition Lines:

Line 1:

Line 2:

"(Standard) Hello, love. I was in town and went through the market wondering what would make a romantic dinner for us tonight? I thought we might stay inside, light a fire and set the weather machine to a long, hard thunderstorm. We could try out the new KS animations I bought, eh?"

Line 3:

"(Vixen) Do you like this version? I like the darker skin and the leather. I can also split a hair off a rabbit�s tail from fifty yards. This is one bad-ass min-maxed b*tch."

Audition Lines:

Line 1:

"Gosh, I've never seen a more beautiful sunrise. The way the light breaks through the clouds over the cemetery, it's like God is reminding us of the hope that lives long after death. I am so glad to be here. And I hope when my time comes, my life after is as beautiful as this sunrise. (sigh)"

BROTHER DAVID

Name:	BROTHER DAVID
Gender:	Male
Age:	Adult
Characteristics/Notes: MINOR, POTENTIAL RECURRING ~30s Male An "elder brother" of the Anabaptist Setonite order who holds an administrative position in the school he once attended; he also coaches the rugby team. He is also a friend of Peter's who encourages him to find his own way and leave the shelter of the seminary. Setonite males are "men of work" and knowledge. They read scientific journals and abhor technology that relieves men of the burden of labor. David is a "manly man" with a deep, commanding voice, but this is something he has developed that comes out when he is performing his role as administrator, teacher, or cleric. As "Dave" among the brothers and old friends, he is more relaxed and less baritone.

Audition Lines:

Line 1:

"Colossians teaches us: �Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward.� It is for this reason we care not for whom we labor. We rebuilt homes from ash so those returning there might know that Lord, our God now dwells within. If they be sinners, let the mercy and labor we sow there reap joy in their hearts. And if not�screw 'em. God will deal with them in the end anyway, right?"
