[Unpaid/Small Budget] Looking for Female VA with a Valley Girl Accent for a Y2K/Bratz-Inspired Character in My Indie Game (31 Lines, 272 Words)
Hey everyone!
I'm currently developing a small indie game called Unemployed, a dark comedy unemployment simulator built in Unreal Engine 5, with a PS1-inspired art style. I'm the sole developer, and I'm hoping to release the game on Steam.
I'm looking for a female voice actress to voice a character called Diamond, who hosts the game's wardrobe/dress-up screen. She helps the player pick outfits, explains some mechanics and occasionally makes fun of their fashion choices.
For her personality, I'm going for something reminiscent of Y2K and Bratz dolls. She's bubbly, energetic, a little sassy and occasionally passive-aggressive. Ideally, I'd love a Valley Girl accent, with that early 2000s mean-girl energy. She's not supposed to be outright mean, though, more like someone who's genuinely enthusiastic but a little judgemental without realising it.
There's currently 31 lines, totalling around 272 words. Most of these are short reactions, with a handful of slightly longer tutorial lines.
As this is a solo indie project, I don't have much of a budget, so I'm primarily looking for someone who'd be interested in contributing for fun or to build their portfolio. Of course, you'll be fully credited in the game, and you're welcome to use the work in your own portfolio or demo reel. If everything goes well, I'd also be happy to discuss a small payment as a thank-you for your time and effort.
I can share some WIP screenshots and gameplay footage of the game, along with the full script, if anyone's interested and wants to get a better idea of what they're contributing to.
I'm not too particular about having professional equipment or anything like that, as long as the audio is reasonably clean. I'm also happy for you to put your own spin on the character!
If you're interested, feel free to leave a comment or send me a DM with a sample of your voice or any previous work.
Thanks for reading!
