Test Character 6

• Please keep in consideration the roles may be distressing/demanding, as they include shouting, acting out in pain, or dying.
• Voice actors must be remote-capable and able to deliver clean game-ready audio with no background noise, interference, or peaking.
• We are casting ONE role per actor; please only submit for ONE character.
• If you have one, please submit your demo reel and studio sample.
• .MP3 acceptable for audition submission
• Please read 2-3 varied takes in ABCABC format
• Please submit files as: COTSE Audition – [chr name] – [name/handle].mp3
• EX: COTSE Audition – Elin Gehrard – rombuffer.mp3

If you need to resubmit, you should be able to edit your response an unlimited number of times until the deadline.

• This project was originally developed for a gamejam, now seeking to develop a free update with fixes and features than from the demo release, including fully audio-dramatized cutscenes.
• Audio will be edited into audio logs and played throughout the game as important one-time “clue” cutscenes, similar to the cutscenes from Return of the Obra Dinn. We’re looking for actors who will really let us “hear” some physical character acting, who can pull off both dramatic reads and convincing efforts.
• The script is currently a “transcription” and may not write out all the possible efforts the character makes. We will leave it up to the actor to improv and act out possible efforts as they find appropriate to the provided context, as part of the character audition.
• Final line count is underestimated/not final, as these “efforts within lines” may add more.
• • Payment will occur through Venmo or PayPal upon job completion.
  • We hope to do live-direction for this project. Regardless, the pay rate will follow the low-mid tier of VAC’s Indie Rate Guide:
  • • If live-directed, actors will be paid $75/hour
    • • Direction will be over Discord, and actor will be responsible for delivering the session audio
      • Actor will NOT need to edit/format final audio
    • If self-directed, actors will read per line at $3/line
    • • Retakes may be expected, and actor may be expected to send a sample read for approval prior to reading the entire script
      • Actor will be responsible for editing final audio to AABBCC format
