About the role:
This role focuses on in-game VO – writing short, reactive, and repeatable lines triggered by gameplay (barks, reactions, systemic dialogue).
At the same time, the VO carries story, character, and relationships. You’ll be expected to write lines that feel natural, nuanced, and true to character, while still working under gameplay constraints.
This is a hands-on role, you’ll be writing and refining VO directly, based on briefs, without heavy rewrites from the team.
What you’ll do:
- Write short, gameplay-driven VO (barks, reactions, systemic lines)
- Write “story VO” that reflects character, tone, and relationships
- Edit and refine existing lines
- Ensure lines feel natural when spoken and hold up under repetition
- Prepare scripts and support VO recording sessions
- Collaborate with narrative, design, and audio
This role is NOT:
- A narrative design role
- Focused on long-form or cutscenes
- Suitable for writers without experience in gameplay-driven VO
- A general copywriting or scriptwriting role
We’re looking for someone who:
- Is a native English speaker
- Has senior-level experience, with at least one shipped game
- Has experience writing VO for games
- Can write short lines that sound natural, specific, and in character (not generic)
- Understands how dialogue functions within gameplay systems
- Is comfortable executing on briefs and working in a flexible freelance setup (work delivered in batches, sometimes with short turnaround times)
