NATIONAL Casting Call - Please Share!!
A Denver, Colorado area video game company is casting Asian men, for a unique opportunity in an
unannounced story-driven video game project.

The client is focused on narrative adventure video games with 20 years experience in the game industry. Their most recent project won multiple awards and was nominated for a BAFTA.

We are seeking actors as well as every-day people to fill this role. Our “full performance” technology allows us
to simultaneously capture a performers entire nuanced performance including body, face and voice, and use it
to bring the digital video game characters to life. Your likeness will not be used in the final game, only your
physical performance and your voice.

For interested actors: You have strong physical instincts including the range and control of a theater
performance, with the subtlety and nuance of film performance. Ability to find emotional truth in every line of dialog, motivation in every movement, and deliver natural, believable voice over.

For interested every-day people: You may not have any acting experience, and that’s okay. However, you
should be confident and in touch with who you are, and self-aware of how you feel. You readily know what
gets you excited, what makes you scared, and what makes you angry. You are comfortable with engaging with others and expressing a range of emotions. Other than that, it’s all about “being yourself” under imaginary
circumstances.

Union Status: Non-Union
Genre: Story-Driven Video Game
Production: This role will shoot approximately 2-3 days in the Denver, CO area. Scheduled based on actor
availability, in early 2020. If cast from out-of-state, you will be provided travel, food, and lodging.

Audition: For the initial audition, you will be recording and submitting your voice only. Any recording quality
level accepted, including using your phone. However you record it, please be sure that we can hear the quality
of your voice and the nuance of your performance clearly. Please slate the beginning of your audition with your
name and agency if represented. Give at least one reading of each line. You may choose to give two reads for some lines, if you feel multiple motivations.

Submissions: Please send your audition tapes to Rebecca at [email protected] by 5:00 PM MST on Friday, November 22nd.

Audition Sides: Sides are attached to this post.
Callbacks: Currently scheduled for the week of December 2 nd in the Denver, CO area. We will have Skype callbacks for remote candidates.

Role:
Name: Lee
S*x: Male
Age: Must SOUND 35-45
Ethnicity: Asian, 1 st generation Chinese dialect/accent preferred
Type: Supporting

Rates: Full day = $1000 + 15% agency fee. Half-day = $600 + 15% agency fee. Quarter day = $375 + 15%
agency fee. Travel, food, and lodging provided if cast outside the Denver, CO area.

Character Description: Lee is a 1 st generation Chinese immigrant with an accent that is readily noticeable.
Lee was born into poverty in Guangzhou, China. His family could never escape poverty, so at the age of 17 he
traveled to the United States. Although he worked job to job and never rose above the pay rate of a cook, he
found love, married, and had two kids. He loved his family, but fatherhood did not come easy to Lee. He did
his best, escaping the chaos of his home life through gambling and alcohol. When his beloved wife became
suddenly ill, he directed his anger at his kids; emotionally, and in some cases physically. Her death destroyed what few redeeming qualities he possessed, causing him to abandon his kids to the foster care system.
