Monologues for Video Game Auditions Vol. 2
Monologues help voice actors practice pacing, emotion, character shifts, and vocal texture. Video game audition pieces are especially useful because they demand urgency, imagination, and clear stakes. Use these samples to explore heroes, villains, companions, merchants, bosses, and comic relief while building confidence with bold, playable choices.
Want to work with me one-on-one?
After the Last Save Point — Rook Veyra, battle-worn rebel
"You hear that alarm? That is not the sound of defeat. That is the castle realizing we got inside. Keep your sword up, Mara. I know your hands are shaking. Mine are too. Good. Means we are still alive. The king thinks walls make him untouchable, but walls have doors, doors have hinges, and hinges break when you hit them hard enough. No, do not look back at the courtyard. The others knew the risk. We honor them by finishing this. When that gate opens, stay behind my shield until the archers reload. Then run. Not gracefully. Not bravely. Just run. I will be right beside you, cursing the whole way."
The Boss Before Dawn — Lord Vask, ruthless fallen knight
"Lower your blade? How sentimental. You still think there is a man under this armor worth saving. Look closer. Every village burned, every oath broken, every soldier I buried with my own command carved him out piece by piece. Do not pity me, child. Pity yourself for arriving too late. Your mentor begged as you do now. He asked me to remember honor. I did. Honor is what got him killed. Power is what kept me standing. Come then. Strike for justice, vengeance, whatever pretty word keeps your knees from buckling. But when your sword meets mine, understand this: I am not your lesson. I am your ending."
Potions, Profit, and Panic— Bimble Nox, frantic goblin merchant
"Ah! Favorite customer! Please ignore the smoke, the screaming crate, and the completely normal smell of melted boots. Big discount today! Buy two healing potions, get one mystery vial free. What does it do? Legally, I cannot say because I forgot. But look at the color! Very brave purple. You need supplies before the dungeon, yes? Rope, bombs, anti-curse biscuits, emotionally supportive spoon? No? Fine, fine, heroes are always so picky before almost dying. Listen, shiny one, I like you. You pay in real coins and only sometimes threaten me. Take the enchanted lantern. It reveals hidden doors, invisible spiders, and poor financial decisions. Mostly mine."
The Mage Who Won’t Run — Elara Quen, gentle storm mage
"Stand behind me, Theo. I said behind me, not heroically beside me. You have one cracked dagger and the survival instincts of a candle in a hurricane. I know what the council said. I know they called my magic unstable, dangerous, unfinished. But those creatures are coming through that breach, and unfinished is better than absent. Do not be afraid of the lightning in my hands. Be afraid when I stop smiling. There. See the clouds moving? That is not weather. That is my answer. You wanted proof I could control the storm. Watch closely. I am not calling it down. I am inviting it home."
Last Transmission from Orbit — Captain Juno Vale, stoic space commander
"Patch me through to engineering. No, I do not care if the channel is unstable. Reyes, listen to my voice and ignore the fire behind you. You have ninety seconds to reroute the core before this station becomes a new constellation. I need you angry, not scared. Angry hands move faster. Remember training? Red wire, black panel, manual release. Good. Now breathe. The crew is already in escape pods. Yes, all of them. I checked twice because you always accuse me of being dramatic. When you pull that lever, the blast doors will seal. Do not argue. That is an order. You save the ship. I will hold the sky together."
The Princess Picks the Lock — Princess Cerys, charming secret rogue
"Oh, do close your mouth, Sir Alden. A princess can know how to pick a lock without causing the kingdom to collapse. Honestly, you knights act as if etiquette lessons are all curtsies and teacups. Half of diplomacy is escaping rooms people insist are ‘for my protection.’ Hand me that hairpin. No, the jeweled one. If I am committing treason, I intend to sparkle. There. Click. Freedom. Now, we rescue my brother, steal back the treaty, and perhaps stop for pastries if no one is actively chasing us. You may lecture me while running. It gives your armor a nice musical quality."
Bones of the Forgotten Giant — Tharn, ancient weary guardian
"You step lightly for one carrying so much grief. Do not reach for your axe. If I wanted you dead, little warrior, the mountain would have swallowed you before breakfast. I have guarded this door for seven hundred winters. Kings begged. Thieves lied. Saints sang until their throats bled. None passed. Yet here you stand with no army, no crown, and no clever bargain. Only that broken amulet. Ah. So she was your mother. I knew her. She laughed at danger and stole my soup. Very well. I will open the gate, but hear me: beyond it waits not treasure, but truth. Truth bites deeper than any beast."
Glitch in the Mirror — Pixel, rogue digital companion
"Okay, tiny emergency! Do not panic, but the floor has decided gravity is optional, the ceiling is downloading teeth, and I may have accidentally insulted the mainframe’s mother. In my defense, it had very motherly code. Keep moving! Jump on the blue platforms, not the red ones. Red means pain, deletion, or spicy surprise. I know you wanted a normal tutorial fairy. Great news: normal tutorial fairies are boring and usually explode in patch updates. Me? I adapt. I improvise. I scream helpfully. Duck! Ha! See? Helpful. Now smash that firewall before it finishes learning sarcasm from me."
The Queen of Ashes — Nymera Sol, elegant vengeful sorceress
"Do not kneel now, General. You stood tall when you chained my sisters in the square. You stood tall when you called mercy a weakness. Keep that posture. I want the ghosts to recognize you. This city believed my crown was decoration, my silence obedience, my kindness permission. How convenient for men with armies. But ash remembers shape, and fire remembers names. Look outside. Every torch in your barracks burns green. Every gate is locked from within. I did not come to conquer your kingdom. I came to return what you gave me: fear, multiplied. Now speak carefully. Your apology is the last spell you will ever cast."
Respawn with Style — Dash Calder, cocky arena champion
"That your best shot? Wow. Truly terrifying. I almost dropped my snack. Listen, rookie, arena rule number one: never celebrate until the scoreboard stops blinking. Rule number two: never turn your back on me while I still have boots, teeth, and at least one terrible idea. You are fast, I will give you that. Fast enough to make the crowd gasp. Not fast enough to see the trap mine under your left heel. Relax, it is nonlethal. Mostly. When you wake up, remember this moment fondly. You challenged Dash Calder, you looked amazing for six seconds, and then physics filed a complaint."
