Skywind Voice Acting Casting Call

Whilst the Voice Acting department nears completion with many races now fully cast, we still have a great need for voice actors willing to take on the Dunmers.

The Dunmer accent can range from modern “posh” British accents to the Trans-Atlantic accent from early Hollywood. To keep from sounding distinctly North American, Dunmer voice actors are asked to avoid the rhotic R.

Female Dunmer do not have the iconic rasp. They have a mid-range to low pitch. A rough/gritty tone may be present, similar to low level of mild, continuous vocal fry. They are somewhat more masculine in tone, with some huskiness. Female Dunmer will sound mature overall, and don’t sound younger than mid-30’s in age.

For males, the rasp is the most important thing. If you can throat sing, and apply this rasp on top of throat singing, that is the ideal Dunmer voice. That's how Jeff Baker does the voice.

Best tutorial for how to do the male Dunmer rasp:

35 female roles and 30 male roles? This is a Bethesda game, that's only two actors.

[badopinionsrighthere]

Hurray, my terrible throat condition might be useful!

[easternhistorian]

Aight, I'll sign up. Just gimme a second while I smoke 100 cigarettes before my audition.

[austinbevis]

It’s going to be pretty cool having more than the same three voice actors for every character like most Bethesda games

[maxderrat]

Hell, I'll do it. I can do that deep, raspy voice and not make it sound cartoonish.

[maars]

Requirements: eat cigarettes for breakfast everyday for a month

[Jemi]

Volunteer your voice, you n'wahs

[RyoSpeedwagon]

I auditioned for a few roles years ago, but this one would be tough for anyone to do. It takes more than just sounding like you have throat cancer, there's more nuance to it.

I remember when once I was drunk af and did a dunmer impression and my friend looked at me stunned and like 2 seconds later said "dude that was fucking perfect". I never succeeded like this again, but I'm not doing bad. I would fucking LOVE to be a part of this project but there is no way for me to record anything. Sucks to be me.

Dunmer women have this fantastic lazy drawl. Like they are positively bored of your presence, and cannot wait for you to leave.

Damn, i was literally just looking at the channel wondering where the updates went. Then i get a notification for this video! Very excited to see this mod's (more like games) progress

[ravencloud.screamer]

Yes yes yes yes, YESSSS!!! Been looking forward to this day since I've learned about Skywind!!! I'm an underground metal vocalist (and a total Dunmer-tard since good old 2002) and I use false-chords techniques to achieve dunmeri-like vocal lines in some of my songs! In the name of Mephala I shall put all my passion and devotion in this audition!🖤🖤🖤

[LyleShnub]

Wasn't sure that I had the time to be able to volunteer when auditions first went up a while back, but now I do! Hope to make the cut! 🤞

[starwarstimeline]

You guys are doing a TREMENDOUS job. Don't mind waiting as long as it takes!! Thank you for all the hard work.

[maromaro]

I would love to be involved but my heavy polish accent would probably break the immersion immediately.

[EZOnTheEyes]

If only my voice didn't sound like nails on a chalkboard
Still hyped for Skywind :)

[notchbeard]

Amazing, the fact that you are this far along gives me hope for a release within this lifetime :)

[wyoguy]

All the people working on this project are incredible. Morrowind on Xbox introduced me to TES, when I was young kid. Brought me and many others joy, and I am so ready to relive that storyline!

[lepohxv]

That first female dunmer actor sounds really good

[remainprofane]

I don’t have the equipment, or else I’d be happy to help. Fargoth has always been my dream role
