    Hey everyone, so I've recently started up a machinima. I've got the script finished, I've finished building all the maps and gametypes and a good chunk of filming is already done thankfully.

    The story for the machinima is that a zealot's fleet has been almost completely decimated by UNSC forces; he is now taking refuge within a UNSC occupied planet in a military facility. He is a high value target and has been sending distress signals for rescue to another covenant fleet which is now quickly heading towards the planet.

    While reasons why this zealot is being rescued aren't clear, it's obvious he knows something and must be stopped at all costs. A spartan strike team codename GREEN TEAM consisting of 4 spartan 2's accompanied by an ODST squad and a good dozen military police will be sent in to the facility to eliminate the zealot before he can escape.

    What I do need now however, are voice actors. There are quite a few of them that I need done and I'm wondering if anyone here can fill in the roles.

    Here are are some of the lines, I need you guys to choose which you think you fit the best in. Once done, you need to record your voice over a computer mic (NOT XBOX), put it up on a filesharing site and send it to me at indrap1@hotmail.ca

    Alright, so here are the lines.



    This is Green 1's line, he does have a name as do all of the spartans it'll be revealed in the actual machinima. Green 1 is a major character, he talks a lot during the machinima. The kind of voice I'm looking for is someone calm and sounds like a leader. A good example of what I'm looking for would be Carter from the Reach campaign.

    "Alright people, listen up, we need to get this operation underway. We split up, Green 2 and I will take a falcon, you two take another. Once we get there, we need to clear all hostiles and find a way inside as quick as we can, clear?"



    Here is green 2, he's another major charachter. I'm looking for someone who's a decent voice actor at casual talking as well as be able to do more frantic voices, prefereably someone with an accent. The best example of what I'm looking for is Captain Soap MacTavish from Modern Warfare 2. So the first line is an example of casual, the second is more frantic.Situation's getting worse sir, remember to say both of them in your recording.

    "We've confirmed that the target's been sending distress signals back to another covenant fleet. Around half an hour ago slipspace ruptures were detected not 2 million kilometres away. Sir, the covenant fleet will be here in no time. Jason and Victor are already waiting for us by the landing pad."

    "Enemy armor up ahead, get the hell out of there, move!"




    This is the line for green 3, he's a fairly minor charachter, I'm looking for someone with a deeper voice for him.

    "None sir, everything's sealed tight. I'd say our best bet is that garage door over there... I can try to get in but it might take a minute."



    This is Command's line, as the name suggests it is the mission command; a fairly minor role but still an important one. Looking for anyone here.

    "Copy that Green One, the Trebuchet is waiting on standby. If you and your men don't get on in time, we'll be leaving without you. Just finish the mission and get the hell out of there."



    Alright, guys that's all for voices I really need, if I find a few people here and there that I think have talent because there are a couple other minor voice roles I need done as well. You'll be sent a copy of the script if you are accepted.

    If accepted, you'll get your name in the credits, intro if you are one of the major roles (e.g. Green 1) and in addition to that infinite girlfriends and my undying thanks.

    Neat. I'd love to help out as a body double, and maybe I will send in a voice recording. This sounds like a fun project!

    Bloo Jay, I don't know if you received my email reply but your "Command" recording didn't work and "Green 1" had 2 recordings going on at once making it hard to hear.

    I've got a good number of submissions already from Youtube, b.net and XForgery, thanks everyone for your participation :)
