"War (or War)" Voice Acting Audition Thread
It’s time to get some voices going! For those wondering what “War (or War)” is, I suggest you head over to this thread to start off. Alright, below are all of the characters from “War (or War)” that have spoken (or yelled) lines. Each of the characters is listed with a description and a few audition lines. Some characters, however don’t have a particular voice type, and if that’s the case, feel free to experiment with a voice or two. Also, some characters have lines with curse words, so if you are uncomfortable with delivering such lines, please contact me. Anyone and everyone can audition for as many parts as they would like as many times as they would like. All you have to do is 1) record the lines for the character(s) you wish to audition for through your means of audio recording and send them to me via email (spartanguy12@yahoo.com) in either .wav or .mp3 format or 2) schedule an appointment to go into Halopen's Ventrilo server.
-------------------------------------------------- The Private and the Officer The Private: CAST  ---------- The Officer: CAST  ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Two Soldiers The First Soldier: Pinned down by the enemy, the First Soldier makes the best of his time...by coming up with near suicidal plans of attack hoping to become a hero and maybe work his way into history books...  The Voice: Male. Even though the character is incredibly crazy, I don't want a crazy voice for the character. 1) (explaining his plan to the Second Soldier) I know! You’ll be the bait, and they’ll fall into the trap! It’s team work! 2) No! I'm not going to do it because I'm not crazy! 3) It's the enemy! ---------- The Second Soldier: Stuck with the First Soldier, the Second Soldier fends for his life as innumerable enemy soldiers attempt to kill him. Unlike the First Soldier, he’s no fool (maybe he’s just a coward) and simply wants to wait the battle out.  The Voice: Male. Think of yourself as the character and play around with some voices. Be a creative voice actor. The Lines: 1) (confused and somewhat frightened) What happened to the rest of the platoon?! 2) (afraid for his life) No! They’ve got more men down there! We’ll get blown to pieces! 3) (baffled by the Officer’s reasoning) You can’t just block it out of your mind, sir. Something’s got to get through and get you in the end. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Passengers and the Pilot The First Passenger: Somewhat like the Private, the First Passenger seems to be like a child thrown into the middle of a war. And like a child, he’s very impressionable, and the Second Passenger knows that…  The Voice: Male. Young and innocent sounding. Nothing incredibly deep and scruffy sounding, but if you’ve got a wacky voice you’ve got stored away somewhere, try it. The Lines: 1) (questioning, naïve) Who stands for everything we don’t? 2) (as if figuring out a difficult problem) Well, then…which country, our enemy, the ones who are against everything we stand for, are we fighting? 3) (insulted by Passenger 2’s remark) What?! I love my country! I love my country, and I hate the enemy and their country! 4) (following Passenger 2’s zealous lead) We won’t shut up because we love our country and we hate the enemy and their country!!! ---------- The Second Passenger: An incredibly zealous patriot and hater of foreigners, nobody loves their country more than the Second Passenger, and he’ll do anything (even kill) to prove it.  The Voice: Male. An everyday type of voice that’s middle-aged. The Lines: 1) (annoyed by Passenger 1’s question) The enemy… 2) (filled with a maniacal zeal) I hate the enemy!!! 3) (completely and utterly in-tune with insanity and zeal) Stupid enemies! I’ll kill them! I’ll kill them all! I love my country!!! I love my country!!! I hate the enemy!!! I hate the enemy!!! I’ll kill them! I’ll kill them all! ---------- The Pilot:After crash landing due to an engine failure, the Pilot is marooned with two arguing Passengers. All he cares about is following orders and getting the job done, but the hard part isn’t getting the job done...  The Voice: Male but could also be female. Think of yourself as the character and play around with some voices. Be a creative voice actor. The Lines: 1) (in agreement) Yes! Please already! 2) No, I just can’t concentrate on finding that damn escort plane with you two morons yelling at each other! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Prime Minister, His Advisors, and the Ambassador The Prime Minister: CAST  ---------- The First and Second Advisors: CAST   --------- The Third Advisor: CAST  ---------- The Fourth Advisor: Another one of the Prime Minister’s absolutely bonkers advisors, the Fourth Advisor only says one thing to the Prime Minister; “What was that, Prime Minister?” He must have terrible hearing…  The Voice: Male or female. Think of yourself as the character and play around with some voices. Be a creative voice actor. Remember, you only have one line that’ll just be used again and again. The Lines: 1) (questioning) What was that, Prime Minister? ---------- The Fifth Advisor: The nuttiest of the Prime Minister’s advisors, the Fifth Advisor says and advises on the most random and off-topic things.  The Voice: Male or female. Think of yourself as the character and play around with some voices. Be a creative voice actor. The Line: 1) (official sounding, cautious) I think that might be risky, Prime Minister. 2) (official sounding, as if giving a piece of advice) Prime Minister, I don’t think it’s necessary to change the batteries in the clock. 3) (official sounding, suggesting) Well, Prime Minister, why not offer his wife a drink? ---------- The Ambassador: CAST

Quick questions: will we be notified as to whether or not we got the part on here or via email? When are we scheduled to record? What equipment will we be using?

2) Well, the whole appoinment in the Ventrilo server is supposed to be a Halopen member only thing. You'll have to record by yourself on your own time. 3) Your own computer microphone and an audio recording and editing program (such as Audacity, WavePad, Sound Forge).

Ok, well I am using Audacity. So then we'll just record the lines ourselves and send them in? Won't that be kind of difficult if we are conversing with each other?

Well, it is difficult since you can't play off of the other actors, but it's not easy trying to get everybody together for a recording session without conflicting schedules and the odd person forgetting to come.

Oh, ok... would it maybe be possible to send the other actors the mp3s to listen to so they can react, etc?
Oh, and just to make sure, did you receive my email? |

1) The only real voice overs I have so far are two lines from the actor playing the Ambassador. Yes, I got your email. I sent you one back
2) The Prime Minister is cast. 3) I've decided to combine the First and Second Advisors into "one acting part". They are still separate characters but only one voice actor will play both of them.

I've got some bad news regarding some of the casting. Well, a while back, I sent an email to each person who was cast to a role, and so far...only a few have replied back. So, I'm going to have to recast again. The good news: I'll be recommending parts to Halopen members (in the list below), I'll be doing live audition sessions so we can really nail the voice acting down, and in these live sessions, I hope to have multiple voice actors to get some sort of interaction going. So don't send anymore auditions in until I say so. Anyways, here is the list of actors and the parts I want them to audition for. Contact me if you're name is below
The Officer: VenomandCarnage The Private: Blekk or Vin The First Passneger: Blekk or Vin The Pilot: Chief John The Fourth Advisor: OMGIts Renegade The Fifth Advisor: Phat Mike

I have sent lines to the above peoples' emails (and to Ayton), so make sure to check your inbox. You all have received scenes in which the characters you'll be auditioning for take part in. In the emails, I've also listed the order in which these scenes flow chronologically in bold lettering. Take a look over the scripts, and once you think you're ready, let's schedule some live sessions for auditioning and possible recording. Do not, let me repeat, do not record any lines and send them to me.
