I'm the owner of Edge 83 Media, LLC. I drafted several ideas over the last 3 years, but finally I've settled on the original one planned. This is a Space Fantasy Visual Novel taking place in an alternate reality 1950s. It's Golden Cinema meets Webtoon. The protagonists are primarily Asian American.
FIRST, let me put the requirements. I don't want anyone to waste an audition.
- We are looking for Non-Union female voice actors, 20 years old and up. You MUST be a legal resident of the United States, NOT residing in California.
- An electronic contract is required that confidentially lists your city, state, and d.o.b. You can simply use your cast credit name and email to sign the electronic form. (You're getting my confidential info too.)
- We are aiming at an 8 or 9 hours Visual Novel, but may settle at only 4 hours.
- We DON'T do voice over rates. The final game price won't be exceeding more $20 (likely just $10) so there would be no feasible budget. Each chapter of the game will be paid with a flat fee of $10. Paypal is required in order to send invoices for payments. You are granting all rights of your voice work for this project to our company. We plan to start work on a demo by July. We're working on a Dev. log video, so we need some early cast lines.
CHARACTERS
Both are in their early or mid 20s. The range can be from med-high to high. Nia is the most petite, so she'd certainly have the higher voice.
I'm including a Voice Audition video for each character (no animation).
Kan Rika 奐俐花
Rika is the younger sister of Souji. Like her brother & father, she has a natural affinity for science. Her bond with her brother is rock solid. She helped to design the solar sail that powers the spaceship to Tansei. Rika is one of the pilots manning the spaceship (she's an aviatrix). Her entire life she has been dreaming of finally going to another planet. It is the legacy of their late father.
Line 1
[calm, sentimental, heartfelt] I spent so many nights just waiting to finally be here. Space travel is amazing. Outer space is just so vast and bright, and beautiful. Once we experienced it I just knew we'd be changed forever! I believed in every thing we want- Every thing we worked for. Really, deep down I still do.
Line 2
[receives a gift from her romantic interest.] Oh it's lovely-- You shouldn't have! Oh, I'll treasure it forever.
Line 3
[tearfully pleading to her brother not to try an experimental device] No, no! You can't! Let me try it instead. I'll test it! Please, brother-- We still have a chance. You can't leave me... We have to make it together. [gives way to sobbing]
She is Filipina. Harmonia "Nia" Dimalanta is a brilliant engineer. She has joined the field of space exploration to fulfill her curiosity. She is well liked by the crew. Isn't confrontational by nature, but will speak her mind if needed. Being the most petite in the group, she's able to sneak around and hide when the antagonists are on the prowl.
At this point in the game she can still actually be portrayed in two ways. She can be soft spoken and soothing or enthusiastic and vivacious. I'd be happy with either if it seems to fit. I'm leaning toward enthusiastic and vivacious.
Line 1
[cheerful] I'm Nia Dimalanta. Pleased to meet you. I'm the first dalaga to travel beyond the Moon! Heh-heh~ [Ph: dalaga=bachlorette]
Line 2
[shouting at the antagonist to get its attention] Hey, you!! Hey! Over here!
Line 3
[reflecting] As long as we keep growing – Keep learning... Then we stop existing and start living. It's a part of us. We were made to do that. Every time I peer into the universe I can see my true reflection just a little bit clearer.
