See official thread here.

I am looking for people who have voices and a mic (with at least decent quality, I use a guitar hero mic for reference). So no laptop mics. Go buy one, they're cheap..

Main characters are characters with returning roles. (All characters, besides those who die, may return but you must return if you are a main character) If you wish to play one of them please 1. be active (so you're easy to contact when I need you ~1 year later), 2. be able to do a lot of lines (including retakes), 3. be able to do lines within ~1-2 weeks of giving

Main characters are typically serious and drive the plot. You can also have some freedom improvising as long as you also do the original line. Main character's voice actors will have the story spoiled completely. (I may not ask you to do these lines until May/June, and then have you do the current script for Extermination in July/August, then do a final script again for Extermination sometime first 1/2 half of next year)

Extra characters have small roles and if I can't get enough VOs I may ask you to do another Extra part. These characters typically are comedic. (Random talking guys about ___ aren't really). You can also have some freedom improvising as long as you also do the original line.

Main Characters:
Final voices: (characters that are casted)
Lawson (main character, high amount of lines, is Lawson) - Slow Bullet

Temp voices: (characters that have voices. You can still try out for these parts still if you want-but these people are major characters, so your voice acting should be good enough)
Karner (main character, high amount of lines, player for Project Lawson & Extermination) - Hiralis
Kadar (main character, medium-high amount of lines, Karners partner) - Temptii
Harper (main character, low-medium amount of lines, UNSC Commander) - MatthewDratt
Nova (main character, medium-high amount of lines, Lawson's 2nd in command) - MatthewDratt

Extra Characters:
Final voices: (characters that are casted)
Chess Player B (extra character, low-medium amount of lines, talks to A counterpart) - Slow Bullet
Chess Player A (extra character, low-medium amount of lines, talks to B counterpart) - MatthewDratt
Alpha's New Recruit (extra character, low amount of lines, semi-nervous new recruit, requires screaming) - dumb AI
Door Guard (extra character, low amount of lines, guards door) - Storm
Mechanic (extra character, low amount of lines, fixes up vehicles) - Killzone

Temp voices: (characters that have voices. You can still try out for these parts still if you want)
Gray (main character for Takedown: The Introduction, medium amount of lines) - MatthewDratt or clonecam117

Open roles:
Random Talking Guy about new troops A (extra character, low amount of lines, talks to B counterpart)
Random Talking Guy about new troops B (extra character, low amount of lines, talks to A counterpart)
Random Talking Guy about bases A (extra character, low amount of lines, talks to B counterpart)
Random Talking Guy about bases B (extra character, low amount of lines, talks to A counterpart)
Karen VI (extra character, low amount of lines, Lawson's virtual intelligence)


If you want a role PM me, Email me (matthewdratt@ymail.com), xfire me (MatthewDratt), or something else me. Include some sampling of your voice please (anything just so I can hear). If you want to try for a certain role ask what character you'd like.

I approve this message.

I use that saying a lot actually (maybe not on this forum but on others and xfire.)

I approve of the approving of this message.

I approve the approving of the approving of this message. ok anyway I'm done with that

I'd like to try out. I'll need to go buy a mic, though.

> Time when spartans first were shown
"OMG SO AMAZING SHADERS THEY LOOK SO GOOD"

> Spartans now
"SHADERS SUCK PLASTIC ACTION FIGURES" (honestly not the first time I've heard those exact words)

I got Bourrin on the spartans (I think?), now I need voices for them

Rape indeed.

Seriously because of ....

That looks painful is the default standing pose in Halo 1 for the legs

the shaders don't look as bad as altheros is stating, they look fine for stock engine shaders

i must admit that that is pretty funny coming from you, and i have made good shaders before, plus if you were in the beta you would have noticed that they fit the visual style of the map. and those are probably old pics that he used to make the logo and in no way represent the final product.

try some constructive criticism for once

Alpha's New Recruit (extra character, low amount of lines, semi-nervous new recruit, requires screaming)

I think I can do this^

How would you like the screams?
*Man who got hurt (as manly as one can be while screaming)
*Scared child
*Terrified teenager (who saw Slenderman)
*Stereotypical fem scream

Shewt. I was lookin to maybe do the voice of a main charactor, but the only open slots are side characters.

scheduled a recording session for hiralis, might as well get 2 birds with 1 stone. send some sample lines, and you can decide who shall have the unfortunate fate of adopting my voice.

All temp voices are also available, they just also have someone else fighting for the spot. They include a lot of main characters (including the player).

For example I have someone else fighting for the position of Gray from TD: The Introduction.

Also may I recommend some voice actors to me (I think that's how this process works)... lol
Lodex and Higuy should play a group that talks to counterpart A & B.
Masterz1337 and Kirby should play a group that talks to counterpart A & B.

Any other "married couples" in the custom edition community that have mics?

i actually am really considering to try out for voice acting in project lawson talk to me over xfire matthew when im on i can do a few voices.

Can't forget Lone and Koo, the cheerie scotsmen :-)
And I might be up for some VA, if it's not toooo time consuming. Just hit me up on da fires of x.

Aw! If your AI wan't a female I would totally be able to do some voicing since I have the Novation Mininova coming in in a few days.

I'm pretty sure I can find people for the remaining open roles, so if you want to try out for a main character (Gray, Harper, Karner, Kadar, Nova) then send me a message and I'll send you some audition lines and then see if I like your voice better than my current VOs

If I've asked you for lines and you haven't sent them yet, I haven't replaced you, so send me your lines
Edited by MatthewDratt on Feb 13, 2013 at 12:46 AM

Message: A lot of my VO's haven't replied back.

Meaning I still need a few parts. If for some reason I never got around to you just send me another PM

You can still try out for any part (except Lawson)
Edited by MatthewDratt on Feb 23, 2013 at 09:09 PM

I don't think I need to do anything.

No problem with the recordings,right?

sorry for being so long dratt, i am recording tomorrow night. i should have them up then for you to check out.
