Description
Position Overview
We are seeking individuals with a commanding voice, a flair for the drama, and a passion for storytelling to join our team as Zombie Narrators for our one-of-a-kind Zombie Paintball attraction. Each fall during September and October, guests board a vehicle and are armed with paintball guns for a thrilling mission — to survive the zombie apocalypse. As a Zombie Narrator, you will deliver the in-character mission briefing that sets the scene, builds excitement, and gets every guest ready for battle.
This is a temporary, seasonal position ideal for performers, storytellers, voice artists, and anyone who loves Halloween, zombies, and immersive theatrical entertainment.
