Voice Casting Call

The New Jedi Order Project is proud to announce an open casting call for "The Invasion Begins", a modification for the X-Wing Alliance space combat simulator game. "The Invasion Begins" is the NJO Project's flagship title in what will become an ongoing story that spans across many of the events of the Star Wars Expanded Universe. The voices recorded by you will be used for the in-game missions and for five cutscenes. Think of this as an "interactive" audio drama, where the action (and the voices) happen while the player interacts with what's happening on the screen.

The Casting Process
1. If you can do more than one voice (I.e. you can do more than one impression, like Sean Connery and Christopher Walken), then we encourage you to audition for more than one character.
1. This casting call requires you to submit a short audition in wav or mp3 format.
2. Make sure you record in as quiet an environment as possible. The quality of your recording will have a small effect on what type of part you get, although most parts will have a radio filter applied to them so it won't quite matter.
3. You will need submit your audition via e-mail. Please include your name (or nick), the audition file as an attachment, and whether or not you are reading for a specific part (You don't have to! In fact, it's easier if you don't) or a part with a certain amount of lines. Also be sure to include if you want to audition for more than one part. That's four easy things. : )
4. Please send all auditions to chrisw10@njoproject.com. If you have any questions, please feel free to e-mail the address above or post questions in this thread.
5. We have 72 voice parts that need to be casted out. I can almost guarantee you that you will get a part if you submit an audition.

The Audition
This isn't anything formal, so don't stress yourself. We mainly just want to hear what you sound like and how many different people you can sound like if you're auditioning for more than one part.

You will notice a few movie characters in our cast. If you can sound like Harrison Ford or Mark Hamil or any of the others, then go for it!

Here is a general reading. Since we have 72 parts, I can't give separate readings for each character. Please read for both parts during the audition. Don't worry about the gender.

BRYON
There's Jedi involved with everything nowadays...

CATHY
The only time there hasn't been was when the Empire ruled.

BRYON
(wincing)
Yeah.... you have to admit though that they've cleaned up their act.

Uncomfortable silence.

BRYON (cont.)
Why did you buy it from him?

CATHY
I'm not sure... Dad said that he looked at that ship with a lot of hatred.
He was a very peculiar person. My father must have felt sorry for him or something.

BRYON
Interesting.
