Looking for a man to play the role of a school principal for a video game.
I want to start by saying thank you for stopping by. I’m making a short walking‑simulator, narrative‑style game, and I’m looking for someone to play the role of a school principal. He doesn’t have a name, he’s simply ‘the principal.’ His story is that the school he runs has students with very low grades. One day, he gets a phone call warning him that if he doesn’t improve the school’s performance, he’s going to lose his job. Desperate, he comes up with an idea: to host a big wrestling event at the school, but only if the entire student body raises their grades. He tries to convince the school janitor to be one of the wrestlers, while he himself becomes the announcer and commentator for the event.
For the principal, I’m looking for someone who doesn’t sound too young, someone with a bit of experience in their voice. That’s really it. If you have an accent, that’s totally fine. I’m mainly looking for energy, so I’m pretty open.
Here’s a short script you can read from.
(This is over the school PA system)
As many of you know, our school has been working hard this semester, studying, testing, and showing what we’re truly capable of. I’ve also heard a rumor going around… something about a wrestling event, something big happening.
Let me be perfectly clear: this event will ONLY happen if—and I mean only if—our school as a whole brings those grades up. That means homework turned in, tests taken seriously, class participation, effort, teamwork… all of it.
If we show improvement across the board, then yes, we will host the biggest, most exciting wrestling event this school has ever seen.
Here’s the link to the rest of the principal’s lines, open with WordPad.

I post the game’s progress on my YouTube channel, here’s the link if you’re interested.
