Posted 2 days ago

Worldwide

Summary

We are an indie game studio based in Kyoto, Japan, developing a story-driven mixed reality attraction in which players wear a headset and explore a haunted mansion. We are seeking an English-speaking male voice actor to voice three characters: a polite butler, the one-eyed monster he turns out to be, and a small creature enemy. The ideal candidate has a versatile voice with excellent pronunciation and articulation, and can move convincingly between refined, menacing, and grotesque registers. The role involves recording approximately 50 lines from a finalized English script. The selected voice actor must be able to deliver clean, high-quality recordings in a timely manner. Characters: Saku Mikage (approx. 15 lines) – The butler of the mansion. Courteous, soft-spoken, and reassuring, with a faint sense that something is not quite right. Think "trusted old family servant." Argos (approx. 25 lines) – Mikage's true identity: an ancient one-eyed being sealed in the mansion. Deep and menacing, but composed and condescending rather than shouting. Includes short combat lines, a transformation into a final form with a more commanding, booming tone, and a death scene. Grim Eye (approx. 10 lines) – A small, hostile creature disguised as a billiard ball. Shrill, panicked, comical creature voice with screams and squeals (e.g. "DON'T LOOK!!", "GYAAAAH!"). Processing will be added on our side, so please deliver a natural performance. Deliverables: Approx. 50 lines (roughly 700–800 words), delivered as separate WAV files, one file per line, named according to our line IDs 48 kHz / 24-bit, mono, dry (no reverb or processing), noise-free One round of pickups/retakes included if direction is needed Native or near-native English (US or UK accent both fine) Skills: Exceptional voice acting abilities Clear pronunciation and articulation Versatility in performing distinctly different character voices, including creature/monster voices Ability to follow direction and interpret scripts accurately Home studio with broadcast-quality recording equipment To apply: Please include a link to your demo reel or previous game/character work. Applicants who record a short sample from the three test lines below (one per character) will be prioritized: Mikage: "My name is Saku Mikage. I have been entrusted with the care of this mansion." Argos: "Humans truly are convenient. Tell them it's 'to reclaim their own power,' and they undo the seal themselves." Grim Eye: "WORM! DON'T TOUCH ME!"
