No_Line_Cinemas Registered: Oct '07	Date Posted: 10/7/07 1:33pm Subject: Star Wars: Marvels Casting Call
	Well, in the immortal words of Ben Kenobi, "Hello there." This is a casting call for a new Star Wars audio project, Star Wars: Marvels. This project was originally conceived of as an ongoing audio series when Nathan Butler suggested in an update of the current status of the fan audio community that there were really no ongoing audio parody series. Eventually, it evolved into more of a PIXAR style- an action/drama with enough humor and parody elements to be funny, but still serious enough to be called a drama, not a parody. The first twelve episodes are being adapted here as a 'miniseries'- the first of potentially three, but the only one currently planned, and can stand alone if the project is never pursued again. Well, I will honestly say that this project will not come out right away. It make take a while as I (hopefully) learn the ropes under the tutelage of a more experienced fan audio producer. But yes, this project will be completed, once cast. I am a perfectionist... so I'm aiming to (with any luck and a lot of guidance from my audio mentor, Joe Harrison,) make this project as high-quality as any out there. This is a large project, with 103 roles- 40 have been cast, and 63 remain, ranging from Main Characters to One-Liners. Be aware- there are no superfulous roles; even the one-liners play important roles in the story- even if their posted lines don't seem it! If you are interested in coming aboard, go ahead and send your auditions to Starwarsmarvels@yahoo.com. I do make two IMPORTANT requests of you: 1. Post to let me know an audition was sent, so that I can confirm if it wasn't getting through. 2. PLEASE compress your files to MP3s for the auditions- unless you are auditioning for 6-12 parts, there should be no need for 5 and 6 MB files. Mp3 format is preferable, say 44Khz or so for the auditions. Format isn't really as critical, nor is naming, so long as you identify what it is you're sending in the e-mail- please do identify which character/characters you're auditioning for somewhere in the text or title. Otherwise, the casting is a fairly informal process. We'll 'talk shop' about recording formats and conditions if/when you get a role. Main Characters These are recurring characters common to all or nearly all episodes- if the series was ever to continue beyond this 'pilot,' these would be the regular starring roles. Narrator: Keyyon himself serves as narrator for most of the story, but the main title sequence and ending credits feature a narrator. When I think of a narrator, I'm typically thinking of the 'Comedian' movie trailer- those deep, gravelly-voiced fellows who voice movie previews. However, in this case, the octaves take second place to someone who can take a somewhat pithy opening narration and turn it into an exciting opener. Voice Type: Open. Audition Lines: "It is now a time of rebellion- when a courageous people rise up against their oppressors, shouting "No more!" An idealistic Rebellion, rallying around their recent victory at Yavin. A Tyrannical Empire struggling to maintain it’s grasp against the tides of hope and freedom that have been unleashed. And the smugglers, mercenaries, and rogues waiting breathlessly to see who proves triumphant." Ther-nahk: A mysterious evil dictator and prominent villain. A meglomaniac. Open to interpretation. Voice Type: Open. Audition Lines: "Thank you for your candor. It is always touching to see… how I can hurt you the most! My revenge will be complete when I take from you that which is dearest!" "It is a curious thing... that which so many do not even realize surrounds them will now be their downfall... for the galaxy, their time... is up." Major Characters These are main characters in the episodes themselves, each featured in anywhere from one to three of the episodes, but not recurring beyond that point. Oncho: A farmer and family man, Oncho is a simple peasant who cares little for the world outside, and is far too humble to consider himself worthy of being spokesperson for his people, which he is. He is fiercely devoted to his loved ones, courageous, and dedicated- but he is still only an untrained farmer, and regrets that he does not have the skills to do more to help his family or his village. Voice Type: Actual tone may vary. Needs to be able to embody a vicious tenacity (even through uncertainty) in defending his family and a loving tenderness in addressing his wife, even in the heat of battle.Audition Lines:"Hold your position- if we fall, only death can await our families!""Run- I'll hold them here! Escape, while you can! (Softly, almost sadly) I love you, so very much..." Bahay: An overblown blowhard of a freighter captain, Bahay is heavy on the bluster and sometimes a little light on the brains, but he's a fair man when you can pin down his flighty thoughts long enough to get through to him. He's somewhat self-important and fiercely devoted to his ship. And he would probably be just as at home captaining an old-fashioned sailing ship as he would a star freighter.Voice Type: Loud and overbearing, slightly lampoonish.Audition Lines:"I’m perfectly content with your work, so let’s hear no more of this silly talk of discontentment. Wee-quay, something’s got this ship rattling like a Hutt with hypothermia, so get on it! I want a smooth deck under my feet!""All right. Transfer all available power to engines and put shields double-front! Time to play our ace and hope for an Idiot’s Array…" Danz: A nurse in a major medical facillity. A young single guy with a sharp wit and a wry manner.Voice Type: Open to interpretation- preferably smooth and friendly, young, mid-20s.Audition Lines:"I’m pulling double overtime already- when I clock out, I’m heading home to crash.""Wait! This is just the computer record section! There are no drugs… anything of value!" Kr'tol A male K'tra warrior. Kr'tol is a dreamer and an adventurer. He is an important member of the village, family man, warrior, and diplomat- at least, as much as passes for one among his people. He is generous, kind, and fiercely devoted to any he considers friends or allies. Voice Type: Rough, guttural, with an odd cadence for anything above two syllables. Whatever accent/pattern is utilized here will become a pattern for the K'tra characters, so this is an opportunity to shape the sound of this race. Audition Lines: “Choose a cham-pion. If you are be-tter than me, my life is yours. If I am be-tter than you, your life is mine.” “Not even life among the stars could life me to such heights as I am now, heart of my heart. I am among the heavens! This is truly the most wondrous moment of my life!” Captain Durg Tragin A male human, the commander of a small rebel unit on a besieged world. He is slightly terse from the seige conditions under which he and his men have been placed, but also tries to keep his sense of humor through it- above all, a practical man and a good leader, compassionate towards his troops, quick-thinking, and generally guile-less. Voice Type: A rich, commanding sound- late 20s to early 40s, one that could be friendly and genial- if not tinged with a rough and suspicious edge borne of months under siege on the battlefield. Audition Lines: “I hope you’ll forgive our precautions- we don’t get many visitors out this way. In fact, we don't get any. So I don't suppose you folks would care to explain what you're doing here?” “As it so happens, we seem to have come to rely on the secrecy of our world for security too much- we weren't prepared for someone to come and take it by force. But they did.” Lieutenant Calik Horj A young human male, a rebel soldier. He still has a bit of the 'wide eyed Jimmy Olsen' feel to his personality, which has not been completely eradicaed by the rigors of war. He tends to talk a bit overmuch, and is always eager and willing to please. Voice Type: Young (mid-early 20s- old enough to be believeable as a soldier, but obviously not a seasoned or experienced one). Audition Lines: “He’s the one in charge. He contacted us, at the beginning of the invasion. Issued ultimatums. We don't even know his name.” “She makes a good point. And they did appear to arrive here in the company of the natives; we've always been able to trust their character judgment before. I say we let them in on the whole thing! Uh, sir!” Lieutenant Lira Besseen A female humanoid, and a rebel-soldier. Generally business-like and efficient with an analytical mind and a quick response time, she is very much a logistical and tactical asset on the battlefield, and perhaps due to these tendencies, far less battle-worn than some of her compatriots. Voice Type: Strong and comanding, sharp and precise- not emotionless, despite her technobable and tactical dialogue- she is pasionate about her work, and very intelligent. Audition Lines: “We've seen big, pre-fabricated units... they have to have been building machinery, planning this takeover, for much longer than nine months.” “I don’t think a strike on the south ridge will work- there’s too much artillery. We’ll be shredded before we can even put in an ice-pick. Now, the western canyon, on the other hand…”

	Minor Characters These roles are mixed range, varying from appearing in one episode with four or five lines to recurring characters with 2-3 episode arcs. Evzan: The famous 'death sentence in twelve systems' mad doctor himself. He doesn't like you, boy. Audition Lines: Just give me your best Evzan. Pick any of his lines. Zalda: A member of the farm community, he or she is always willing to pitch in a hand when the going gets tough. Voice Type: Open. Audition Lines: "Someone help me! The way's blocked- I can't get to them!" Slzzk: A reptilian bounty hunter, second in command for Viruln, and keeper of the money, he has a keen intellect to match his deadly aim. Voice Type: Reptilian and dangerous. Audition Lines: "An old man, on his deathbed. Literally. Almost poetic..." Mul'kay: A no-nonsense military man in charge of the Imperial defense of a world under Rebel siege. Cool under pressure, with a commanding presence. Voice Type: An older man (40s to 70s) with a British ("Coruscanti") accent. Audition Lines: "Watch the coolant unit! That overheats, we lose the whole emplacement- and we can’t afford any more gaps in the defensive screen!" Nod-naw: A Snivvian bounty hunter. Male or female. Voice Type: Sneering and toothy. Audition Lines: "Sounded like some sort of slug shooter… what's goin' on here?" Jolin Blissex: An ex-military man and captain of a small transport vessel. A practical man with little patience for the less than competents he often has to ferry. Voice Type: An older man (40s to 70s) with precise, clipped tones. Audition Lines: "Please be so kind as to give me a single good reason- one should suffice, I believe- why I should not have you expelled out the airlock." "What was that? Are we under attack by pirates again? Please tell me it isn't pirates. I am so tired of pirates." Ynits: A technician of Ther-nahk. Male or Female. Voice Type: Open. Lines: "Thirty seconds to activation, my lord- power levels are spiking!" "It shall be done, master!" Odette Mel Var: A perky female tourist guide and visitor information specialist on a tropical world, her personality is not all that dissimilar from 'Tour Guide Barbie' in Toy Story 2- all about a friendly smile, customer satisfaction, politeness, and a bouncy, bubbly, smiling personality- so long as their credits hold out. When times get tough, another personality altogether emerges- a callous, out for herself, and generally mad-at-the-world bulldog who may not be very skilled at finesse but tends to get what she wants anyhow. Voice Type: Open. Audition Lines: “Sir, perhaps I might be of some help? My name is Odette Mel Var, Tourist Relations Bureau, and I’m here to assist you. Call me Dee.” “No one is standing between me and a way off this crummy planet- now get out of my way!” P4X-639: A 'male' droid with very little personality who is all about programming, regulations, and details, whether demanding a deci-cred for a cup of fresh caf or directing the evacuation of a burning building. Voice Type: Monotone. Audition Lines: “That.Will. Be. 20. Credits.” “That. Action. Is. Not. Included. Within. My. Programming.” Hem Dazon: Male Arcona. The triangular-headed first alien we ever see in the Mos Eisley cantina. A scout and now, a rather unfortunate salt-addict. Voice Type: Hissing but not harsh, perhaps with a slight squak or gurgle- something to indicate a non-human who is not quite well. Audition Line: "Pardon me, gentless… might I trouble you for ssome ssmall meassure of creditss? Jusst a ssmall ssample, to ccelebrate…" Bralik Terrel: Male or Female. An eager entrepreneur launching a nostalgia-based historical attraction. Voice Type: Open. Auditon Line: “Remember, you’re playing a Jedi Knight- your booth is over there, with the kid. You just sit there, and offer some wise-sounding words to anyone that passes by, okay?” Rifst: A male human thug. Generally more articulate and clever than your average hired-muscle-wth-a-blaster. Lucien’s right-hand man. Voice Type: A very 'normal' voice. Not harsh or sneering or thugish, but confident and assured. Audition Line: “Here as you commanded, Elias. What would you like me to do?” Donsec: A male human thug. An adept and ruthless hand-to-hand fighter. A man of few words. Voice Type: Powerful, he should sound as if he has some wieght and muscle to him. Audition Line: (In the midst offhand to hand combat) “You’re… good, no doubt… but I’m… better!” Drith: A male Devaronian thug. Generally genial, even when he’s speaking in anger or annoyance. Voice Type: Oily and smooth, with a slightly harsh undertone. Audition Line: “Would you be so kind as to simmer down and keep quiet? Otherwise, I may have to blast your head off to keep from losing mine.” Ofthur: A male or female Ishi Tib- a hired gun, but also very technically apt, and a pilot. Slightly prone to dramatic statements and a bit of wide-eyed wonder. Voice Type: Open. Audition Line: “Everything is online- we’re reading solid power for the verteron wave across the board- wait, we have a problem! An incoming ship- this could ruin everything!” Thift: A male Gran thug with a bad temper. Voice Type: Deep, thugish, generally gangsterish and sneering. Audition Line: “I’ll pop ya one in the kisser if ya don’t shaddup in two seconds! Or, like, right now! Just shaddup now!” Shtix: A wisecracking Gotal male or female thug. Tries to keep their group together with good humor, even in difficult times. Voice Type: Open. Audition Line: “Well, I gotta say, boss- it could be worse… they may have us surrounded, we may be dead on our feet, and sure, my blaster is just about on empty… but think about it- it could be raining, too.” Admiral Screed Imperial Admiral with a cybernetic eye. As seen in the Droids cartoon series and elsewhere. A cold, calculating Imperial commander trying to sound generous and trustworthy. Voice Type: Open- there is an actual Screed voice from the Star Wars: Droids cartoon series, so if anyone is familliar with it, an impression is welcome- but I have been unable to track down a sample, so your best interpretation of an Imperial Admiral will suffice. Audition Line: "The Erradicator is standing by to assist you however we may; your friends in the Empire are concerned for your well-being." G'rekt A female K'tra, wife of Kr'tol, a tender and loving she-warrior and mother. She is the true heart of Kr'tol's tale. Voice Type: Guttural in the K'tra manner. Strong, but not brutish. Audition Lines: “Must you go? It is such dan-ger- I fear for you!” (Gazing upon her newborn child) “Beloved, look at him- he is so perfect, so wonderful...” Garignak The eldest member of the K'tra tribe, a village leader. Male. Voice Type: Guttural in the K'tra manner. elderly. Audition Lines: “What was. What is. What will be. All con-fused. Chaos. Evil. Dark-ness. It has come to us.” “If you are be-tter than him, his life is yours. If he is be-tter than you, your life is his.” Rudtiern A male infiltration commando, leader of a commando team. Voice Type: Open. Audition Lines: “Stand up, both of you. Tell your men to cease fire!” “I can only assume this lift leads down to your facility? Key it in for us, please.” Chak’ol Ving A male Yuuzhan Vong warrior. Voice Type: Deep and harsh, contempt-filled. A 'Yuuzhan Vong accent' is optional... since no one's quite sure what that is. Audition Lines: “Get up, puny infidel- I have no sympathy for your weak bones.” “What is this strangeness? How do you do this thing?” Darg Rish’ma A male or female Yuuzhan Vong warrior. Voice Type: Commanding and harsh. A 'Yuuzhan Vong accent' is optional... since no one's quite sure what that is. Audition Lines: “Perhaps we should butcher it now- but I like to prolong it’s sufferings.” “You should thank the gods that you still have your life- and we may yet take that from you.” Malen A male or female Jedi Knight of the OldRepublic. Genial and friendly. Voice Type: Young (mid 20s) and friendly. Audition Lines: “Greetings, fellow warrior! I did not realize that master Thon had dispatched any more Jedi…” “Your aid is most welcome, stranger- the company of allies lightens the load of any battle worth fighting!” Dronik A male Jedi Knight of the OldRepublic. Businesslike and slightly dour. Voice Type: Suspicious and cynical, generally a wet-blanket in tone as well as content. Audition Lines: “I don’t mean to break up the pleasantries, but we are under attack!” “Oh yes, trusting my back to a stranger in the heat of battle is one of my favorite pastimes! But… you are a Jedi, so trust you I shall.” Grelt A male or female Svivreni rebel soldier, and part of the infiltration team- a tough old grunt with a bizarre sense of humor bordering on a stage-presence and a love of explosives. Voice Type: An almost showman-like enthusiasm and pep, like a carnival barker without the odd cadence. Audition lines: “Step right this way, ladies and gentlemen, children of all ages, to the finest battlefield this side of the Rishi sector- please keep your vital organs and fluids with you at all times. Appearing in the role of ‘the enemy’ for this evening’s performance will be the forces of Ther-nahk… please feel free to let our cast know how much you appreciate their work by shooting them in the face.” “Thanks, you’ve been a great audience- for my next trick, I will transform that ordinary looking wall into a flaming hole before their very eyes. Annnnnd… presto!” Jodelle A human-hybrid female civilian somewhere between her late teens and mid twenties. Instantly likeable, soft-spoken and gentle, playful, and very friendly- with an almost mischievous sense of secrecy about her current circumstances. Voice Type: Soft, empathetic, and gentle. Young- maybe early 20s. Audition lines: “Won’t you sit down? I know this is all very confusing to you, but it won’t last for very long, and I want to make the most of every moment. I’m sure you have questions, many of them. I’ll answer them as best I can…” “My grandmother gave it to me. We were… very close, she and I. I loved her so dearly- I was heartbroken when she died. I always said that I would give anything to spend just five more minutes with her… and then, I got my wish.” Miretz A male or female rebel officer; a slightly nervous and battle-spooked young officer in the midst of a potential suicide mission. Voice Type: Open. Audition Lines: "Sorry, sir! Back in formation now! And may I say- that's the first time I've ever seen a broad-shield swung like a lightsaber." "Are you nuts, sir? They could fly a starship through that gap!" Haras A male or female Selonian rebel soldier with a slightly exotic accent; cool under pressure. Voice Type: Open, as is the interpretation of a 'Selonian accent.' Audition Lines: "Sir, we can't keep in perfect formation while we run!" "Look at that lightshow, boss!" Trisk A harried Neimodian communications officer taking over for his downed commander, coordinating attacks. Somewhat frazzled but striving to maintain a 'businesslike' manner and keep things together in the midst of combat. Voice Type: Open, with a hint of the Nemoidian accent from the prequel trilogy optional. Audition Lines: "Understood, major! Chuen, Major Derlik needs some cover fire in quad-nine alpha! Laeyna, new priority- Aurek squad is still pinned down- see if you can free them up, will you?" "I don't think it was one of ours, Glando- they're all down! Fire at will!" Fien A deadly male martial artist and squad leader for the forces of Ther-nahk. Wields double scimitars with deadly accuracy. Has a slightly arrogant manner, looking down on those he judges not to be up to his skill level. Voice Type: Low, confident, and battle-ready, slightly oriental... as if taken from an old Ninja or Kung-fu movie. Audition Lines: "Impressive weapon- But you look slow. Can you burn what you cannot hit? Hya!" "You are too slow! Your bulky armor gives you the grace of a Hutt- even if the speed remained in your frail bones!" Rogi A computer technician of Ther-nahk's. Male or female. Voice Type: Open. Audition Lines: "Activation cycle online- thirty second to surge capability!" "Power levels are nominal, my lord- we are bringing the batteries online now." T'slok A young K'rta warrior out on the hunt. Male. Voice Type: Open. Yound- late teens to early 20s. Audition Lines: "See the hatred in their eyes? This is no simple honor duel!" "They are not of our world! What does it mean, elder?" Sal Goran An Alderaanian scout. Male or Female. Voice Type: Open. Audition Lines: "Both of you, freeze, in the name of Alderaan, or I'll shoot!" "The nature of the distrubance? Well, uh... gone." Evi Sando A communications officer aboard the Tantive IV. Male or female. Voice Type: Open- a good speaking voice, as if someone comfortable and familliar with public speaking. Audition Lines: "This is the Tantive IV- what is the nature of this disturbance, unit 3? "We take you live to the scene of a major conference, where it is expected that the senator from Chandrilla, Mon Mothma, will be announcing a major change in policy.""

	One-liners These roles are short enough that if I select your audition, you've already recorded the lines that I need. Still, there are no small parts, only small word counts. D'xo: A lizardish swoop biker. Male or female.Voice Type: Lizardy.Audition Lines: Grumble and murmurring "Hey!? What’s the thing doing now?"Death scream from sudden crash Lay-dul: Cafeteria worker in a major medical facility. As the description indicates, an extremely glamorous role.Voice Type: Up to you. Just bored.Lines:(Bored): "Here."(Wearily): "Just get out of here." Candder Fonnen: An Imperial Lieutenant and gunnery officer on a world under siege by rebel forces.Voice Type: A British-type ("Coruscanti") accent.

We've been hit by... something!""All systems are reading nominal now, sir." Young Kr'tol A 10-15 year old Kr'tol as seen in flashback. Voice Type: I would prefer to get an actual pre-teen in the role if possible, as opposed to someone older just doing their best '10-15 year old' impression. But if you can make me believe it... Line: “I am Kr'tol, son of Dr'kal'Rn! I have slain the Kr'tk'rkh! I claim my place now, as a man!” Kurvok A male K'tra hunter and scout; unambitious and contented, he is also a spokesperson for the tribe at times.

	All right, folks- time for a casting update, and this one is a doozy! We’ve had a sudden boom this week, as well as a number of deadlines expiring and previously auditioned for roles being closed, so here is what we have at the end of it all: Kevin Carney As Bahay Kevin Carney As Larrick Joe Harrison As Oncho Joe Harrison As Evzan Lindsay Harrison As Evi Sando Michael Howell As Candder Fonnen Michael Howell As Captain Durg Tragin Donna Lamaestra Charles As Jodelle And last of all, two major roles that fall into the ‘At long last’ category (I’ve kept the poor actor- one of the first auditions- waiting long enough that I think a little special recognition is due!) Aaron Brown As The Narrator Aaron Brown As Han Solo There are another half-dozen or so at least that may well be cast by the next deadline, the 10th- so stay tuned. Added to that deadline is the role of Screed. The role of Slzzk is closed, pending a decision. This is fantastic news, and also means that once the role of Zalda is cast, Chapters 1, 3, 4, and 5 will be complete! At present, the script for Chapter 12 has been finalized as well- pending review, it will be sent out to all of the applicable actors. At present, we do still have 40 out of the open roles that have not yet been auditioned for even once- understandable with a project this size, of course! Just a reminder- for the ‘One-liner’ roles, what you see there is the entirety of the lines; if they’re chosen, there’s no further commitment- the process is already done- so if the mood strikes, feel free to fire off as many of those as you like! I am also adding Wookiepeida links (the Star Wars Wikipedia) to any roles that are of an alien species, to give potential actors an idea of what they’re portraying. All those not noted with such a link are human or near-human characters. Thanks to everyone who’s auditioned so far- things are really starting to shape up and it is getting quite exciting! With threads on several new boards, it is especially exciting to hear the impressive batch of new talent that is pouring in… I am beginning to suspect that the internet voice acting guilds are in fact the industry’s best kept secret- if only Hollywood could tap into half of the skill I am hearing here, we’d been in for a revolution in filmmaking!

	Okay, at present... Marvels has been in flux. Focus has shifted from casting to collecting and editing lines- a process which is going slowly. However, a new developement in the production has opened up several additional roles. They are listed below, and at the opening of the thread. Meanwhile, expect a casting update (if all goes well) within the next week! Remember, even if none of the listed roles appeals, we can STILL use some of the background cries/ambiance/conversation voice work as listed at the bottom! Briss A smart and god-natured female Spiner on the doomed world of Wroxer, trying to get her reluctant brother to leave with the evacuees fleeing the dying planet even though it means leaving everyone he knows- herself included- behind. Discovering a strength and serenity she didn't know she posessed in the face of impending death, and using both wit and sensitivity to try and ease the survivor's guilt she knows her beloved older brother will probably carry for for the rest of his life. Voice Type: Slightly rough or ferral (as befits the species) otherwise, open to interpretation. Audition Lines: "I'm going to spend the last days with Jerrid. ...Our wedding would have been so beautiful..." "Jedku, look at me. I want you to go. I want you to live. Besides... if you don't, who's going to remember us when we're gone? I love you. (Good natured, teasing) Now get moving, you big oaf..." Species: Spiner http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Spiner Litain A no-nonsense Republic corporal, in charge of the evacuation of a dying planet. Voice Type: Open to interpretation. Audition Lines: " Step up now, hurry- we don't have time for any delays. Have your IDs present so we can confirm your exit authorization." " Everything is in order. You're very lucky- last transport out for this province. (Raising his voice) I'm sorry, we have confirmed all passengers for this transport- please disperse and return to your homes!" Narrator The lead character serves as narrator for most of the story, but the main title sequence, ending credits, and trailers feature a narrator. Voice Type: When I think of a narrator, I'm typically thinking of the 'Comedian' movie trailer- those deep, gravelly-voiced fellows who voice movie previews. (Not artificially deep or fake-sounding, mind you- but a voice with real 'presence.') However, in this case, the octaves take second place to someone who can take a somewhat pithy opening narration and turn it into an exciting opener. Audition Lines: "It is now a time of rebellion- when a courageous people rise up against their oppressors, shouting "No more!" An idealistic Rebellion, rallying around their recent victory at Yavin. A Tyrannical Empire struggling to maintain it’s grasp against the tides of hope and freedom that have been unleashed. And the smugglers, mercenaries, and rogues waiting breathlessly to see who proves triumphant." (Separate sentences, trailer-narration style) "In the outer rim, there lies a forgotten world. Out of time and memory. Under siege. And in need of heroes. As a world perishes... Evil flees. As the struggle deepens... Innocents pay the price. As gambits become desperate... Vengeance may be all that remains.... And Heroes. Will. Fall." Background vocals. These are more or less 'extras' used to enhance the scene and suggest that more than just the main scripted characters are involved. These will be credit under "Featuring the additional vocal talents of..." in the end credits. Feel free to attach them with auditions, send them in separately, etc.- I can use as many as I can get! The needed ambaince includes: SCENES: Sounds of farmers, battling flying predators attacking their village (hand to hand or with farming implements.) Sound of Swoop-bikers being killed by blaster, falling, being crushed by rocks, or crashing Sounds of villagers shouting in commotion to avoid being run over by a fast-moving speeder Sounds of civillians running and screaming in panic during a mercenary attack. Sounds of people running, screaming, and panicking as a paradise planet is struck by a major calamity; litteraly the end of the world. Bounty hunters charging with a load cry. Bounty hunters crying out in suprise, and being trampled by a stampede. DIALOGUE: A group of rebels/soldiers... Chuckling/laughing at wisecracks during the mission briefing Muttering assent. Cheering, weakly, then more strongly, and finally triumphantly as they are 'worked up' by a pre-battle speech Generally conversing and murmuring as they move out from the briefing area Giving shouts of acknowledgement and salutes in response to an "Everybody ready?" DEATHS: Lots and LOTS of people being killed by blaster!!! Like, hundreds- they die by the bucketful! People falling to their death from a high cliff/ledge/balcony People being hurled around like rag dolls and savaged by an infuriated Wookie. Other Miscellanious death cries. So, if you feel like adding any or all of those into the mix, please feel free to do so- none will be turned away! You can either record them separately and label them for what they are, or just record a batch of multi-purpose screams and dialogue not specific to any given situation.
