Scottish friends! I'm looking for a voice actor (roughly 30-40 years old, female) for an unannounced game✨ You definitely don't need to be an established actor, but you must be UK based with your own recording equipment. This is a paid role, DM for brief!

I haven't been posting much this year, but I've been enjoying some time away from the computer with a few adventures instead: - Munro bagging - Visiting Orkney - Skiing - Some basic woodworking projects
