CINDER, is a short, Halo 5 Machinma series that takes place two years before the events of Halo 4. The story revolves around a Spartan IV known as Cinder, an early generation Spartan IV who operated on Flood search and disposal missions. However, everything changes when he accidentally uncovers a plot to destroy the Spartan IV program and eventually, humanity. Both time and resources are short. Cinder is reassigned to Artemis Team, a Spartan team dedicated to hunting and destroying high priority targets. Together, their job is to track down and stop the grand master behind this plan before it's too late. Their opponent? A rouge Spartan IV, dead set on avenging the loss of his squad with the blood of his fellow Spartans. What could have inspired this dramatic measure and will Artemis Team be able to stop him before he unleashes the Flood as his method of revenge? -------------------------------------- This is a project I've been working on in secret for awhile now. Mainly I have been focusing on story and writing and now I am ready to take the next steps with making it a real thing! In order to do that, there are a couple bases I need to cover and roles that need to be filled. If you are interested and would like to get involved with the project, there are some options. I am currently looking for: Voice Actors These people will be taking on the vocal roles of the characters in the story. Options for all characters are open and no level of prior experience is required. If you are interested in becoming a voice actor and would like to learn more, please visit this site: https://www.castingcall.club/projects/cinder-a-halo-5-machinima Body Actors The backbone of the whole show. Body actors will execute the actions in game. I will direct scenes for you to act out for the final product. Roles ranged from the main characters to regular extras. Body actors must be able to take direction and work in a team environment. There are currently five characters planned to get dedicated screen time. Examples are provided at the end of this post. Each character has a distinctive look so if you want to be a body actor, you must have all the pieces of their armor, listed below. Cinder Helmet: Cinder Armor: Air Assault Impact Visor: Unbreakable (Clockwork) Male Cypher Helmet: Cypher Armor: Mako Visor: Greystone (Beltane, Wild Hunt, Frost) Female Watchdog Helmet: Security Watchdog (Base Version) Armor: Enforcer Strongarm (base Version) Visor: Gallows Male Viper Helmet: Viper Strike Armor: Infiltrator Visor: Buckingham (Burgundian) Male The Rogue Helmet: Rogue Armor: Hellcat (Subject to change) Visor: Dynasty (Vandal, Foucault) Male **items listed in parentheses are substitute items Set Builders I am but one forger. I would love to bring in some community talent to help build the variety of sets the story will take us to. These do not need to be functional maps. We would like to achieve a certain level of wow factor while still allowing H5 to run at optimal performance. Locations will vary from space station interiors, classic forerunner structures and interiors and Halo Ring-esque environments. If you would like to be a set builder, please provide a example of your work below. It doesn't need to be perfect, it will just help me gauge where you would be most effective. ------------------------------------- Full Character Gallery: http://imgur.com/a/3EIfE Thanks for checking out the post! if you have any questions please don't be afraid to ask!
I'm gonna need a little backstory and a few lines of dialogue on each character to give you a proper example of voice work
"When the link of fire is threatened, the bell tolls. unearthing the old Lords of Cinder from their graves...and the unkindled will rise. Nameless, accursed undead, unfit even to be cinder. And so it is, that ash seeketh embers."
On it: https://www.castingcall.club/auditions/346845 Attenuation can be adjusted Edit: I should have just said the lines twice like how Socksva did
Auditions for voice actors are due by April 27th. I do reserve the right to cast characters ahead of the deadline, but there is still plenty of time. I would like to have body actors cast by April 20th
I want to try out for voice auditions, never done anything like it before. On the link, am I only allowed to submit auditions for one character, or several?
Maybe I should do some voice stuff, I've kinda always wanted to try that out. and if that fails out i can be a set or body builder lol

I'd like to be a voice actor, but my mic muffles my voice and makes me sound much different. I'd prefer to be a body actor. Also, will the voice acting be recorded and then edited on, because I might not be able to be there when your shooting due to time zones, so I may have to work out s suitable time to do it.
The voice acting is recorded separate from the body acting, since they are different people. Voice actors will have the ability to record lines on their own time. Body actors though would all need to be together for shoots. I will be editing on top of the voices to add a helmet affect where needed. If you would like to audition, do so on the casting call, the link is up there. Maybe you could edit your own audio before hand to remove some of that muffling.
I'd much rather be a body actor, but if you desperately need voice actors, I'll certainly put my hand up.
