Dear Evelyn is an interactive audio drama, where the listener becomes the player through puzzle solving and link mazes! While the bulk of the story is delivered via a full cast and immersive sound, the gameplay elements are all through text and various like classic “arg” style stuff, like a homage to them! I know this is a little bit different than the focus of the forum so I hope its alright to post an ask like this.
We are looking for a middle aged (45-60) man with a baritone to bass voice range, we encourage them to audition as soon as possible!
Please be familiar with discord and have a monologue or demo reel prepared, send voice samples as well as your discord handle to dearevelynpodcast@gmail.com
Assuming you’re not already looking there, I had good results hiring voice actors through CastingCallClub.
(That was for a non-IF project. I think their community leans towards video game fan dubs, but maybe that’s because it’s what I was looking for. Anyway, you should be able to find more general there VAs too.)
Oh gosh, thank you! The other half of our like two person network is the director for this, so is handling all this sort of stuff, I thought I’d make myself useful and fish around when I saw there’s a collaborator section! I lurk here but normally to read peoples reviews after contest season so I’m not sure if they’ve tried that or not, but omg, I’ll pass this along!
Hello! I’m a middle aged British man who has been thinking for a while about getting into voiceover work. I perform as an improviser, as part of a troupe who do a children’s show called The Extraordinary Time-Travelling Adventures of Baron Munchausen.
What I don’t have, as an amateur, is any kind of showreel. We don’t generally record our shows either because there’s a lot of audience participation and we’d need to ask permission from. everyone involved.
I’d be happy to record something for you if you have an audition script (or just do a reading of something), but only if you’d be interested in having a British voice! My voice is quite bassy. My natural accent is fairly RP (received pronunciation), without much of a regional accent; perhaps the tiniest hint of London. I can also do very posh or a terrible Billy Butcher cockney!
A voice-over demo reel quite easy to make with current technology. You edit a sampler of you doing your normal voice and your best “voices” - either from existing clips you have, or you can record them especially for your reel if you don’t have show clips.
VA can be difficult to break into professionally as it’s very insular and many of the voices you hear are the same ~10 people, but there are a lot more opportunities nowadays for smaller indie games and audio books. It is actually can be a legit “work at home” scenario since many established VAs work remotely in their own mini recording studios. If you want to do it professionally you’ll of course want to do a professional reel in a studio, but for small freelance work, it wouldn’t hurt to have it ready to offer for opportunities like this.
Working VAs have different focused ones - “cartoon” “dramatic reads” “commercial” “narration” “audio book” - so if you’re even a bit interested in VA the best way to experiment is to start recording your own voice.
