If you’re in the performing arts community or are aspiring towards that particular arena, firstly, I’m sorry. The economy sucks.

You need not despair entirely though, because while there might be a dearth of paying projects out there, there are still plenty of opportunities for resume-building, particularly in the vein of community-built projects. Today, I’m highlighting the Blue Planet campaign for the FreeSpace 2 Source Code Project. You may or may not have played this campaign (the War in Heaven portion, Age of Aquarius is already fully voiced, sorry) in the shiny FreeSpace 2 SCP, and if you haven’t, two videos follow for what you’re missing:

Epic enough for you? You may be in luck, because while you may not have the coding, modeling, texturing or animating chops to participate in the creation of some of the visual artistry of the campaign, you have opportunities still to create some of the audio artwork, namely bringing the characters of Blue Planet to life by supplying your voice. So if you’re into sci-fi and were having trouble getting a demo tape to a worthwhile project, this is your ticket. They’ve still got plenty of roles open!

(Disclaimer: I do not have any affiliation with the Blue Planet project in any way other than having sent in a few voice samples for one or two roles. I’m just a fan.)
