A handful of auditions for FORCED2's upcoming voiceover tryouts. I had a great deal of fun recording these, as they stated they wanted them to be very tongue-in-cheek. Some even include popular culture references, hah. Enjoy!

Script:

[LORD RYKER]: “The light of the sun is no more. It happened more than a hundred years ago and now the surface of our world is nothing more than a frozen wasteland. Humanity was on the brink of extinction as the world we once knew arrived at its icy end.
[MATTHIAS]: “But why did the sun go away papa?”
[LR]: “No one knows, little cub; but we would have died out there along with the rest of the world were it not for the intervention of the dwarves. They had made the depths of the world their home and when the skies went black and the surface began to shrivel and die, they shared that home with us. In return for sheltering us in their home, humanity was required to lend its aid in the dwarves’ struggle against their most hated foes: The Deep Ones…
[M]: “What’s a Deep One?”
[GIMBLE]: “They’re monstrous critters o’ endless hate an’ nasty teeth, they are! Hope they all rot in the darkness!”
[LR]: “Easy Gimble, my old friend, you’ll frighten the boy.”
[G]: “Sorry milord; easy ta get worked up. It’s mah favorite part when ya tell how we whipped ‘em, hehe.”
[LR]: “Our ancestors of course accepted the offer as we had nowhere left to turn. The battles raged for three years, taking thousands upon thousands of lives; but, in the end, we were victorious. We pushed the Deep Ones back into the Great Dark and there they have remained ever since.”
[M]: “Wow…”
[G]: “That’s right lad! Your people an’ mine fought back the darkness and worked together to make a new world!”
[LR]: “It is how our ancestors helped build this city and made it flourish. The city… of Deepanvil. Look upon it well, my son, for someday you may govern in my stead.”
[LR]: “No… What’s happening…”
[GENERAL LONGBEARD]: “Lord Ryker! The Deep Ones have returned!”
[LR & G]: “What!?”
[LR]: “How is this possible?!”
[GL]: “They came from the depths without warning! Our outposts were destroyed before we even knew they were there! They’ve brought everything they have to bear against us!
[G]: “Are we holding? Can we at least fight back!? My axe hungers for Deep Ones!
[LR]: “Gimble is right, General Longbeard. Is there anything we can do to save the city!? There has to be a way!”
[GL]: “They’ve already swarmed the outer defenses! They’ve got a Lost One leading them through!”
[LOST ONE]: “HEAR ME, PEOPLE OF STONE AND SKY! TODAY YOUR RECKONING IS AT HAND! I WILL BURN YOUR KINGDOMS TO ASH! YOU HAVE NO HOPE!”
[GL]: “You and your son must get out of the city as quickly as possible. The other refugees are already heading for the bridge of Karak-Sur. I must return to my men! We must ensure the other kingdoms know of this invasion!”
[LR]: “Stonemother guide you, General. ”
[GL]: “You as well, milord.”
[G]: “Don’t worry, Ryker, I’ve got yer back.”
[LR]: “Thank you, old friend.
[LR]: “Come on son, you get to ride on daddy’s shoulders just like when you were younger…”
[M]: “O-Okay…”
[G]: “It’ll be aright laddie, we’ll make sure we get ta the bridge safe an’ sound.”
[SOLDIER]: “They’ve breached the eastern gates!”
[LO]: “RUN YOU MISERABLE INSECTS!”
[LR]: “There’s no other option, we have to use the bridge’s failsafe to seal the route behind the refugees.”
[G]: “Lord Ryker, the failsafe is—“
[LR]: “I know! I… know it’s a one way trip. Please, take my son and make for Goldreach… the other kingdoms *must* know of the invasion.”
[G]: “I… Ugh… Fine ya damned stubborn ass… “
[LR]: “Thank you, my friend…”
[M]: “…Papa?”
[LR]: “Papa has to go now, little cub. Gimble will look after you, be strong and take care of him for me, okay?”
[M]: “No! I want to stay with you!”
[G]: “C’mon lad— Time ta go.”
[M]: “PAPA!”
[LR]:”*Panting*”
[LR]: “Come on, come on… Almost got it…”
[LR]: “Gods why did they make this so difficult…”
[LO]: “TIME TO DIE, SKY-BORN SCUM!”
[LR]: “Just in time.”
[LO]: “WHAT TRICKERY IS THIS-!”
[LR]: “Goodbye my son.”
