Keto Voice Search (now ended)
« on: June 22, 2004, 01:35:34 AM »
We're looking for a female actor to give Keto a voice.  Keto is nothing if not chatty, so she will have well over one hundred voiced lines in Shadows of Amn alone. Willingness to reprise the role in a few months for the Throne Of Bhaal portion of the mod is also important.

On Keto:
Keto is a young woman who knows how to give a good performance. She gives off an air of youthful energy, drinks too much at times, and seems jolly and irreverent, but behind the façade lurks darkness and doubts. Look past the storytelling and the bottle, and you find someone who cares about people, and hopes they care about her. More important, you find someone who is hoping to discover how she really fits into the world.

If you're interested, please email jcompton@pocketplane.net and I will send you the audition script.

I've got the youthful energy part down. Well. I squeak.

You can easily turn this mod into a tragi-comedy by employing me and my dodgy American accent as Keto.  ;D

That's when I start sounding Indian. I always revert to Indian.  :-[

How about Icelus doing a falsetto? That would quash any calls for a Keto romance.  ;D

Are you three just burning electrons idly, or volunteering? I'm going to assume volunteering.

I heard your Ind... er, Secret Project™ voicework, and I'd say you could do a great job.  The core audience would certainly approve.  :P

Just to let everyone know, loitering in this thread is considered a form of volunteering. Loitering will be punished by being e-mailed the audition script.

And yes, Icelus and Corvis have already received theirs.

Hey... I could do it... all it would take is a swift kick in the nuts before every line... though I doubt Keto should sound like she is in agonizing pain  :P :P :P :P

I'd like to give it a try even though I think my equipment's low quality. I never had done any voice acting before, but I want to try anyways.

I remembered that I had heard it at some point in time, but I do not remember what it sounded like. But if you want to give it a shot, by all means do. Actresses well into their 40s and probably beyond voice-act young women.

Post it?  Oh HELL no.  :D  It was meant to come across as subtle (or something equally low key), but  :-[  didn't quite fit.   :)

Send me something then, JC, while I check out this link.. or is this the sample audition thing you want?

btw, true gaelic/irish is ..difficult - scottish is easier, imo.

Hi Jason, just curious to know if you had gotten my second set of sound files; I was just wondering if they were any better than the first ^_^x
