Siren's Call: Escape Velocity-- Voice Actor Audition

Project Overview

Synopsis

Siren’s Call: Escape Velocity is a surreal, psychological horror visual novel set in sunny central Florida. Your goal is to escape the town of Siren’s Call, but your friends (and maybe even the town itself) don’t want you to leave. What follows is a story that starts out friendly and nostalgic, but quickly turns into a desperate scramble to leave your hometown once and for all...no matter what it takes. Inspired by early Denpa visual novels, Siren’s Call seeks to honor and expand upon the feeling those games evoked and expose that very unique feeling of dread to a new generation of visual novel fans. It has been 5+ years in the making and “Escape Velocity” is going to be the official commercial release.

Audition information

Roles: Siren’s Call has 6 main characters-- 3 male roles and 3 female roles. As a horror game, Siren’s Call covers extremely sensitive subjects. While most of the dialogue in the game is very tame, every role experiences an intense emotional/mental breakdown of some sort. As such, all VAs must be 18+.


Payment: This is a commercial release, but both partial and full voice acting are also going to be goals for the game’s upcoming kickstarter. As long as the required tiers are funded, the actors who pass the audition will have their parts secured and be paid 3$ a line. The game itself is 135,000+ words.


Audition | You may audition any character you like and can record 3 takes per line. You can post your auditions here. Alternatively, you can send unedited audition takes in .mp3 format to [redacted].

Oliver
closed
Deferred: Agreed Amount
Role assigned to: Churlz

Everybody wants to leave home at one point or another, and Oliver is that idea distilled to its purest form. After an unforeseen incident involving a rocket launch ruined everything, getting the Hell out of Florida has become his sole purpose in life. Even though he’s a writer, Oliver’s greatest asset is, oddly enough, his brutal honesty. Due to a certain condition of his, Oliver simply isn’t comfortable with any other way of living. Still, all those little lies of ours have to go somewhere...don’t they? And even if they didn’t, not everybody appreciates an honest friend…

Actual height: 6 feet, 3 inches

Temperament: Brooding  Loves: Poetry, punk rock, skate boarding, Violet

  • (Solemn) “The familiar rumble of empty fuel tanks slamming into the ocean. The amber glow of jet fuel burning against the violent pink of a perfect, tropical sky...I grew to hate all of it.”

  • (Earnest) “Well, that's a big relief! Yeah! I feel like *much* less of a failure if you're just as lost as I am!”

Violet

Deferred: Agreed Amount
Role assigned to: Estelle Son

For all of her wisdom and grace, Violet is...still kind of a gremlin. Then again, that is a big part of why Oliver loves her. And thankfully, the feeling is mutual. Just as likely to spit insightful advice as she is to poke fun, conversations with her are always a delight. Due to her epilepsy, she has to play it safe in most areas of her life, but that doesn’t stop her from dreaming big. Her greatest dream is to leave the planet and travel the cosmos as an astronaut. Until then, she spends her days painting...wistful as ever.


Dream: To go to space

Actual Height: 5 feet. 5 inches

Temperament: Sassy

Loves: long conversations, rockets, black-bean-burgers, BL, Oliver

Hates: Depending on others, the beach, her brain 

Voice description:
  • female young adult
  • (Playful) “You're freakin' hot, doofus. You spend, like, what, seven hours a day working out? That body of yours is one step below divinity.”

  • (Wise) “Why is it that being lost feels like such a sin? It's not like we were ever *taught* what to do in these kinds of situations. Of course we'd get lost at sea like this... we were never properly equipped to handle something like this in the first place!”

  • (Teasing) “I still have nudes of you on my phone. And like any hero, I'm not afraid to use them as a tool for justice. So yeah, take the hint.”

Judith

Deferred: Agreed Amount
Role assigned to: Phebe Fabacher

A friend to all who don’t cross her, Judith is everything Oliver wishes he could be. She’s brilliant, sweet, a natural leader--the whole package. As such, it only makes sense that the two of them would grow to be close, childhood friends. Out of everyone in their group, Judith is the one that benefits the most from staying in Siren’s Call. After all, people love her here. So what good is there in leaving, right?


Dream: To work for NASA

Actual height: 6 feet exactly 

Temperament: (mostly) gentle 

Loves: baking, cosplay, chemistry, sunflowers

Hates: the unknown, rude people 

Voice description:
  • female young adult
  • (Gentle) “Olive, what's this about? I don't care if it's embarrassing or scary. I won't judge you. You're safe here. You'll *always* be safe here.”

  • (Irritated) “Here's a fun idea. Why don't you mind your own fucking business? And... reality check, you're nobody's mother. So stop acting like it!”

  • (Regretful) I used to think it was my responsibility to try and keep everybody safe and happy, but maybe that's not how it should be.”

Ashton

Deferred: Agreed Amount
Role assigned to: Bradley Gareth

We’ve all had a friend like Ashton at one point in our lives. He’s the kind of guy that would gladly beat up a complete stranger just for looking at you funny. Your brother from another mother. Your comrade. After years of bullying the innocent, Ashton has reformed himself into a modern day hero of justice. It’s taken a lot of effort and restraint, but he’s finally at a point in his life he’s proud of…which will make disappointing him all the more painful…


Dream: to own a houseboat

Actual Height: 6 feet, 2 inches

Temperament: Brave 

Loves: his friends, charcuterie, spending time with his dad

Hates: being alone, stagnation 

Voice description:
  • male young adult
  • (Excited) “No way! You guys have chicken fried steak? *HELL YEAH!* Is there a limit? Gimme seven!”

  • (Regretful) “It's okay, It wasn't for a while, yeah, but I'm good now.”

  • (Reassuring) “It's fine. People die all the time. It hurts, but you gotta keep moving forward. Just like you said.”

Andi
closed
Deferred: Agreed Amount
Role assigned to: Maganda Marie

As Judith’s twin sister, Andi knows all too well the value of being strict with oneself. To her, health is everything, and that fixation has created what many consider to be the greatest athlete in Central Florida. She knows that each choice her and her friends make is an opportunity for growth, but also one for weakness. She will do what needs to be done to keep you breathing. It doesn’t matter if you hate her.


Dream: to live to 100 years old

Actual Height: same as Judith

Temperament: adamant

Loves: fitness, receiving gifts, Ashton 

Hates: jellyfish, grits, Ashton

Voice description:
  • female young adult
  • (scornful) “You failed. Now any number of terrible things could happen to you, Oliver. What's to stop me from killing you in cold blood right now?”

  • (frustrated) “Oh, come the frick ON!!! This ball is actual, literal, garbage juice. This is Hell, isn't it?”

  • (depressed) “God, screaming is such a useless reflex... All it does is give other people a chance to learn how weak you really are.”

Emil

Deferred: Agreed Amount
Role assigned to: Grant Paulsen

Question everything. Seek the truth. Think creatively. Emil’s hungry mind is always busy looking past the obvious and digging for something deeper. To some, he may seem a bit pretentious. But to those who know him well, it’s all too clear how wrong he often feels. Even so, convincing him of anything will require more than a bit of effort, but it will prove Oliver’s ideas can stand on their own. And in the end, that’s all Emil really wants...isn’t it?


Dream: to be the best at something 

Actual Height: 5 feet, 9 inches

Temperament: serious

Loves: debates, reading, bushido

Hates: laziness, getting his clothes dirty 

Voice description:
  • male young adult
  • (Solemn) “Second rate... Everything I am is second rate. Ashton is bolder, Andi is tougher, Violet is wiser. And Judith, as I've come to discover, is far more intelligent than I could ever hope to be.”

  • (Excited and compelled) “I love sharks. Fascinating creatures, really! Did you know that some shark embryos actually cannibalise each other while in the womb?”

  • (Challenging) “Why are *you* going to college, Oliver? If you can provide a compelling enough defense for your actions, then I will concede this challenge to you.”
