Hello folks,
I'm currently in the process of working (beginning to..) on a new project for Descent 3. I know that it isn't a Freespace project, but this is the only place I know that provides useful information regarding voice acting - and the Descent modding scene is very small by comparison, so it's difficult to find voice actors over there. And I know that the two games have shared a common fanbase over the years, as many people tend to crossover from each game. I have various needs for each part, some of which are vital to the story and others which are just tiny parts with a handful of lines. Here is some information on the places that need to be filled.
Large / Significant Parts
Commander Lee - This part has the most lines, featured in every mission and briefing. For this part I need a male actor who is either middleaged or can pull off a convincing middle-aged voice. Should be quite a defined, deep voice. Commander Lee is the main good guy who commands an Orion class carrier. Yes, the Orion is homage to Freespace, despite being a different design.
General Lucia - This is a very specific part and one of the villains. For this particular role, I need a womans voice who sounds like she may have come from a posh city. British accent is a preference. Not a big part but requires a good voice.
Fighter 1 - While no name is mentioned, this is a large part for most missions. Looking for a male voice actor to play this veteran pilot role.
Fighter 2 - Should be female (if possible) to play the part of this relatively young, inexperienced pilot.
Smaller Parts
Deimos Carrier - Commander of a carrier, should be male in the middleaged range. Appears in two missions.
Victory Destroyer - Commander of a powerful destroyer. Appears in two missions.
Merchant - Looking for a good British/Australian cocky accent for this civilian merchant character.
Captain Drake - Male cruiser captain.
Captain Braka - Small part for a cruiser captain.
Bomber Pilot - A veteran voice, male.
Assault Cruiser - Male or Female for this unnamed part.
Escort Cruiser - Very small part.
Station Commander - Simple one line part.
Computer Voice - Again, a one line part.
Nibiru Carrier - Small part for a carrier commander role. Male.
Centaur Carrier - Similar with the above. Male or Female.
Scout - Very small and simple part.
EDIT: Note that not all parts are listed, some 1-3 line parts are also available but I usually double up the small parts to a 'medium' sized part for those.
If you have voice talents that you'd be willing to lend, please contact me at [email protected] - Please leave some details about what characters you would be interested to play, and some samples of your previous works is a must. Samples should be unedited with no sound effects or alterations. Keep in mind I may pick a different role for you based on how your voice sounds. Thanks!
If you have any questions, just post them here.

Little bump. Still looking for people to fill roles. :nod:

Hey
I'll take whatever you'd recommend (if you think my samples are worthy in the first place)

EDIT: If it'll help my case, I recorded lines for Viper for EACW

If your still up for it drop me an e-mail (or PM) with your contact details. :)

Bumping this up because I have recently resumed work on this project and it will be finished this year ;)
-
Sounds good. :)
-
Merchant :yes:
Once you get a sample you might consider me for something else. :)
-
The Merchant is my favourite character so far, I think - too bad it's already done :D
-
I may be able to help once I get rid of my common cold (I hope it's just a cold).
-
No merchant?
Ah well. . . .
I've a really busy week but will try to get some samples to you.
-
Look forward to it :)
-

Voice is a bit young, but I have some small parts suitable :) Will get back to you.
-
Thought I'd chime in here, since I said as much on SG. :p I can get some samples put up once I dig up a few good files.
-
Final call. :p
-
Wha? No audition script?
Ah well. I may be able to run some quickies off tonight.
-
My sample link is above. Didn't you have a lookskie Hunter?

Well I suppose there is: http://www.descentbb.com/viewtopic.php?t=4113

And yes, I've looked. I will get back to you.
