And all the world's a stage .... for Voice Actors!

5 days ago

All the world’s a stage,
And all the men and women merely players;
They have their exits and their entrances,
And one man in his time plays many parts...

William Shakespeare, As You Like It

Hey, all you theatrical people out there! And you others, who love the sound of your own voice! ;)

I've been creating an animated video story in a series of episodes, with voice-overs, and I find myself in need of a few more voice actors as the story expands a little and new characters take the stage in Episode 5.

Intrigued? Read on!

The story is (predictably, knowing me) science fiction, and I use a popular game called Space Engineers to generate the video. You may have seen a few examples of this in the Altair Search 'n' Rescue story. I build what's essentially a stage set within the game, and find ways to move the people around so that the story flows. It's a lot of fun to make, going from ideas and plot and script to eventually a mini-movie.

Here's a link to the latest (not including the short Christmas Special) episode, but of course, starting from the beginning will give you the whole story. There's a link to the whole playlist in the description.

Right now I'm looking for 2 voices - an aristocratic naval commander and a lowly janitor on the aristocrat's flagship. So far, they're planned as males, but I could change them to female if need be. Other 'walk-on' roles turn up from time to time for people who can't commit to so much.

If you'd like to know more - about voice acting  - or whatever - please do comment here & we can talk.
