Local game Jengo is on the hunt for some voice talent

Jengo (1)

Full disclosure: We know the guy who sent us this e-mail, Graeme Selvan. You might recognise his name from his time at Xbox or Megarom. But these days he happens to be working on Jengo, a local game that looks…kind of weird. Which I dig. Double full disclosure: Graeme is a knob, but with 2016 being a massive jackass this year we’ve decided to be a little less discriminatory so we’re going to stop leaving flaming bags of dog poo on his doorstep as we play ding-dong-ditch.

For now.

Anyway, that game I mentioned earlier? It’s still well on track for release, but it needs a certain vital component before it’s truly ready: Some steamy hot vocals. That’s right, Jengo is on the hunt for voice artists, people who know ACTING. Why you could be the voice of characters such as Mr Wang, Kenneth or General Backlash.

Imagine that, your red-hot pipes contributing towards Jengo. An achievement that you can happily take to the grave with you. Here’s the pertinent bit from the PR, copied and pasted below:

Jengo (2)

Since Jengo is going out to an international audience all talent needs to keep the following in mind:

  • Robot Wizard are looking for international dialects, so if you are British, American and Scottish (to mention a few) or really great at putting on an accent, then please make sure to include that in your audition reel.
  • If you manage to land a main character role you will need to make yourself available for all of the episodes of Jengo. This will be disclosed to you in your sign-up contract.
  • Being able to appear on camera is a plus but not crucial to you landing your role.

Send your demo reel to the fine chaps at Robot Wizard, and wait for fame and glory to come your way. EASY.

            I’m sure he acts if she asks if [insert item of clothing] makes her look fat.

            My answer is a straight up: The jeans are fine, it’s your arse that makes it look fat. 😛

            Must give it to him, his voice acting as a mute lumberjack is superb when we play 7 days to die.

      Even though we joke and tease each other, I’m dead serious about applying.

      Always been a big dream of mine.

      Will send you some samples later in the week

      Yeah, I’m most certainly going to be applying for this if I can get a demo reel together in time!
      I’ve done loads of stage work and some voice work as well, so at least I have some experience.
      And as for accents, well, those are my bread and butter.
