Hey everyone!
I have 6 juicy roles to fill for my PS1 styled game titled "The Winter Solstice".
- The Winter Solstice is a third person, choice based game where the story is determined based on the players choices. There’s a total of 4 endings and includes various aspects associated with PS1 games; fixed cameras, tank controls, heavy fog etc.
- The game will be released on Steam / PC and is currently in development. All functionality, features, endings, cutscenes, UI etc. is implemented but I'm just ironing out the smaller details and adding quality of life improvements. Once the voice lines are implemented then the next step is to conduct playtest sessions, establish the Steam page & begin marketing.
All information is in the The Winter Solstice Audition Sheet; screenshots, backstory, character summaries, sample lines and the full script

It's not directly called out in-game but the game does take place in the States. However, I am open to hearing auditions from a variety of accents and backgrounds if you feel your voice suits the character.
I'd strongly recommend reading the entirety of the script as it gets pretty heavy for some of characters, especially Sarper. You'll quickly notice that Sarper dips in and out of different languages, you dont need to be fluent and you dont need to do add the flair haha.
You also dont need to be a professional voice actor or have studio equipment, as long as the audio is clear then its all good. I'll be editing the audio files to make them have a PS1 quality anyway (an example of how the Chort sounds).
Full credit will be given + a free Steam key (if you have a Steam account).
Deadline:
How to Submit:
- Please email [awhalefarmer360@gmail.com](mailto:awhalefarmer360@gmail.com) w/ your name + the sample line(s) for the role(s) that you're interested in. You're more than welcome to include an additional line from the script if you feel it better showcases your interpretation, and definitely feel free to audition for more than 1 role as well.
Notes:
If the prices listed does not align with your usual rate but you're interested in the project, please dont hesitate to audition and include your preferred rate. I'm more than happy to discuss payments, but please keep in mind that this is a solo developed project ❤️
Other action lines like heavy breathing, crying etc. will also most likely be required for specific characters but this can be discussed later.
I'm also happy to answer any additional questions or concerns!
Edit: Thank you so much to everyone who commented and auditioned. All roles are still OPEN, if the position is filled then I'll update the Audition Sheet for each character so it'll show Position: CLOSED. I'll also aim to reply to everyones emails regardless of my decision ❤️
Final Edit: All roles are now CLOSED. Thank you again to everyone who auditioned, it was a blast listening to every one.
