Seeking for voice actors for Issgard

TESA Forum

If you haven't heard about this mod yet, it's an unofficial sequel to the Skyrim MQ. It consist in a continuation of the Destiny of the Dragonborn after the Main events in the Skyrim game ...
More than one people , me included expressed some disappointment for the "easy" conslusion ... SO I decided to create a sort of expansion for this Main quest bringing the Player beyond the Sea of Ghosts to an ancient and mysterious first men Land called Issgard and beyond that if time will be sufficent also to Atmora continent ...

To keep the mod consistant and realizeable in a short time compared to other large landscape mods I am focusing only on main quest , and main areas , then the mod when released could be considered unfinished onsome side areas like for example some homes will stay closed becouse missing interiors , tough not necessary for the main quest of the Mod itself and could be expanded in a second time ...

There are handful of a major roles and lots of smaller ones, so whether you're a seasoned pro or a beginner, there's something there for you.

What You'll Need
You'll need your own voice recording equipment. At minimum, this means a reasonable quality microphone. The software needed is available for free and is easy to learn. There are great tutorials at TES Alliance and the CS Wiki.

You'll need to be able to deliver loud and clear speech and record it clearly. Some roles will require a certain amount of acting ability while others won't. As this mod is set in Tamriel and features mostly Nordic warriors, I prefer voice actors with a fairly neutral accent.

How to Audition

Either pick roles whose description you think you're suited for, or pick a few at random. I'll choose the most suitable voice actor for each role.
Feel free to audition for as many roles as you like: you can always turn some of them down if you get selected for too many.
Make a recording of the sample dialogue. It should be of the same quality as the final product.
If you can perform in multiple voices/accents, feel free to send different versions.

Please let me know...
Would you be interested roles other than the ones you apply for?
Would you be interested in doing more than one role?
Even if you don't get one of the larger roles, would you want one of the small roles just for the voice acting credit?
Make sure you let me know how to get in touch with you. I am known as "Prometheus_ts" or Prometheus in several TES boards like NexusMods and Bethesda forums and will check my messages there several time a day.
Please feel free to message me if you have any questions about any aspect of this project.
