Private Mark Runil Spartan 810 - Runil is the youngest of the squad only being 18. He has suffered with many loses, mostly the loses of his family. Back on earth his mother is a Diplomat, but has become very ill.

Sergeant Bryan Yovik Spartan 550 - Bryan Yovik being one of the oldest members following behind Rhodes, is their weapon specialist and over all wild card of fireteam Ocelot.

M A I N A N T A G O N I S T S

Admiral - Not much is known about the Admiral other than he is a powerful spartan in charge of a powerful army of spartans, he calls Pioneers. He is searching for an artifact and will stop at nothing to obtain it. (Needs a Voice Actor)

Victus is strong willed and very capable. She hates failure as much as she hates other things. Victus is cut throat and powerful but also mischievous. She has a high sense of title but she is also smart about how she plans things. Victus is brought to life by Xecromus.

Officer Octane - Octane oversees both Victus and Ferose, he is sometimes referred to by the lower ranked pioneer drones as a stiff. Octane protects Victus as much as he can but he tries his best not to anger the Admiral. Although Octane likes to follows rules as strictly as he can he will sometimes step out of line to make a point. Octane is voiced my Travis Belloli.

Cadet Ferose - Ferose is as bad as bad gets. Ferose will stop at nothing, betray many, and kill many to get what he desires. Ferose has no regard for outranking officers and often speaks out of turn.

But Fields also has a soft spot for Rhodes and will help if she feels it’s the right thing to do. General Fields is voiced by Jay Lew.

Update:

Added more characters that need to be voice casted.

Hit me up on XBL if you’d like to hear me perform
voices. I’m told I’m very good, and I can even sing
in most of the +30 voices I can do. I can also make
the voices sound like they’re trying to impersonate
one of the other voices (good for scripts that have
a character trying to sound like someone else).

My gamer tag is currently:
Goatroach

My mic is pretty clear when recording on my PC,
so if the quality seems off over XBL, that’s
because the 360 uses a cell phone audio jack.

PS:
I can also do an array of accents as well in most of
those voices.

Hopefully you can access this zip of some
unaltered (no post effects) voices of mine.

Sample Voices

If that doesn’t work, let me know.

I heard your sample voices. I really loved the “turned-on” sample made me laugh. You’ve got yourself a great mic and I’d love to have you voice in the machinima.

We are actually holding a voice competition for the roles listed above. I’ll add a link with the details later. But if you want the choice of who you want to play this competition is your best bet and considering you’re one of the best I’ve heard so far I’m sure you could nail it.

I’ll add the link later. But I am definitely interested. I’ll add you on xbox live and whenever you’re online we can have a talk.

Do you have skype?

Cool.
I do have Skype. I’ll send you my name on there
over XBL.

Edit:
XBL seems to be having issues with sending messages
as well as adding/removing friends. Hopefully this
will clear-up within the next day or so.

Yeah I was noticing that when I was trying to add you. I hope so too, it’s been a pain getting in contact with people.

Thanks Riot! You’ve been really helpful through this whole process.

Deleting and re-downloading my profile fixed it.
I already sent you my Skype name via XBL.

You guys have a pretty good series started,
and it has real potential. I hope I get to
be a part of it! :slight_smile:

Thanks so much!
I will add you to my skype now and maybe we can talk there. My co-director would love to meet you.

Thank you, it would be a pleasure to have you as part of the cast.

Haha considering the reception for the interview was so grand we might do another one. I’m going to ask Garrsam first of course. And It should help tie people over until we can shoot and edit episode 6.
