Voice Actors / Voice Over Casting (+50 Positions)

About the Studio No Shortcuts Studio is an independent game development studio currently developing its first large-scale project in Unreal Engine 5. The project is a tactical multiplayer experience combining competitive gameplay, a persistent community hub, and a narrative campaign. The studio is fully remote and international, built around structured collaboration between developers, artists, designers, and audio contributors working on a long-term production pipeline. Game Overview The project is built around three interconnected pillars that share the same universe and progression systems: Tactical FPS Core: This is the competitive gameplay pillar. It focuses on realistic tactical combat, team coordination, communication, and structured gameplay roles. Players engage in high-intensity matches where positioning, strategy, and teamwork are essential. Voice acting is used in combat communication, character identity, and cinematic moments. Community Hub Experience: This is a persistent shared world where players can interact outside of combat. It includes social spaces, faction identity, trading systems, and player-driven interactions. Voice acting is used for NPCs, announcements, world interaction, and narrative immersion within the hub environment. Narrative Campaign Experience: This is the cinematic and story-driven pillar. It focuses on scripted missions, character development, emotional storytelling, and worldbuilding. Voice acting plays a central role here, including main characters, supporting roles, and narrative events.
