Heyo!

I'm interested, but
1) Will this be paid?
2) Where in the server can we find audition materials?

We put together some footage from our initial meeting with voice talents for the game Panta Rhei, where our narrative designer/CEO and the talent discuss their character.

This one is with @ginaleighsmith.bsky.social, who gave our main character a voice and greatly improved their personality.

For any Voice Actors looking to work on their improv skills or just loosening up during auditions/recording sessions, I HIGHLY recommend Timprov with Tim Powers. I've been fighting the pursuit of "perfection" since I started voice over. The workshops really helped pushed me to embrace the imperfect.
