We're getting super-close to release with
Astroloco: Worst Contact, but there are still a few characters that need voicing! They're (mostly) minor characters, so it'd be great if you can do more than one.
Here's a list of what's up for grabs, and a brief description of what we're after:
Name | Description | # of lines |
R4-LPH | R4-LPH, or Ralph, is Arianne's AI engineer. He's responsible for keeping the train in good, running order, and always defers to the orders of his driver. He's known Arianne for years, and is very wary of her impulsive personality. He tries his best to give her good advice, but always remains respectful. Something like a computerised butler. | 69 |
Shady Jim | Shady Jim is an old school friend fo Ronald's, turned to a life of (not very exciting) crime. He makes out that he is part of a global conspiracy/criminal underworld, but barely even qualifies as a small-time crook. Gravelly voice (although he's only putting it on to sound 'cool'). | 60 |
Safety Attendant | The attendant is a picky, annoying health & safety officer. His only job is to make sure that proper procedures are observed, even if it means inconveniencing everyone else. Despite his existence being almost entirely pointless, he smugly believes he is one of the most important people on Gilbert Station. He has the kind of annoying, always-faux-happy voices which makes everyone want to punch him. | 43 |
Crewman Smythe | Smythe is a simple pirate with barely two brain cells to knock together. The other pirates laugh at him behind his back, and give him menial tasks like swabbing the decks and guarding the prisoners. He speaks with naive honesty, and a worried temperament. His voice should be something like Frank Spencer. | 30 |
Pirate Guard | A simple, stereotypical pirate type. | 23 |
Security Guard | The second of only two members of the Gilbert Station security force, the guard is willingly subservient to Chief Shepherd. He knows the rules off-by-heart, and will never go against the letter of the law. | 21 |
Unhealthy Pirate | An irate pirate. | 13 |
Dr. Hubris | Gilbert Station's resident doctor. If he is required more than once, he gets increasingly resentful of having to babysit the player. | 13 |
First Mate Hawkins | Captain Smallbeard's First Mate. Hawkins is a natural pirate, and loves the idea of flying around space doing as he pleases. He is growing tired of Smallbeard's small-time piracy, and is thinking of starting a mutiny. | 12 |
Convoy Captain | The captain of a civilian convoy being escorted by Arianne. He's very wary of her reputation, and terrified that he and his crew won't make it back alive. | 11 |
Evil Laughing Pirate | An evil pirate who loves to shoot at people. | 1 |

Har HAr HAr!
Do I qualify as the pirate? The number of lines for the pirate is overwhelming though...
I would be more than happy to submit an audition for R4-LPH and a pirate of your choice.
Here's a quick R4-LPH test

Well, I'm not an amazing voice actor, but I'd be willing to give it a go.
My daughter always yells at me when I read stories with a pirate voice, so.... I guess you should sign me up. I really have no idea what kind of pirate I'd make.... Do you want an audition, then you could just slot me in where you think appropriate? PM me if interested.
Hi, I've uploaded some sample tracks onto soundcloud, I'm an actor and I've done voicing in the past, plus I'm an avid gamer so i'd like to get involved, i'm open to any constructive criticism if you'd want the voices different in any way.

Thanks for all the responses! I'm swamped with voice-over candidates now, which is great news (and hard work) :)
