Synopsis
"The 60th Annual Talon Tourney is a multi-round game for redemption. Kael, a thieving merman, got caught and is now an unwilling participant along with 11 others. However, they aren't all as unlawful as the media makes them out to be. Because in this world, it's either krill or be krill-ed."

Thank you so much for 400 auditions! Everyone was so good and it was truly a pleasure getting to listen to everyone! Once again, we can't cast everyone as much as I would love to!
We're now in the final stretch of auditions as casting starts the 27th of March @ 12pm CDT! Callbacks will ensue from there and I'll start going through extra auditions!
I hope everyone has an amazing March and thank you so much for your interest in the project!
Thank you so much for almost 200 auditions within the span of 3 weeks! It was so awesome getting to listen to everyone! However, we can't cast everyone so we recently went through and either shortlisted or dismissed auditions!
Due to the sheer amount of auditions, if you weren't shortlisted then you were unfortunately dismissed! I will be providing feedback in case people would like to reaudition or maybe even give their hand at another character!
The next round of shortlists/dismissals will be March 7th! I truly can't wait to hear more auditions as we get closer to the casting date of March 27th! Once again, thank you all so much!
First off, thank you guys so much for 100+ auditions in less than a week! That is insane but it warms my heart to see so many people interested in this project of mine!
Moving on, the deadline for Artists is now February 28th at 11:59pm CST/CDT! Closing auditions early allow me to get started in gathering base sprites and CGs for VA reveals and prologue so production can start right away!
Now onto other announcements, Shortlists/Dismissals will begin February 14th for voice actor roles. If your audition was dismissed, we will be providing feedback and giving you chances to resubmit OR audition for another character if we believe you'd fit better elsewhere!
After the deadline, we will be conducting callbacks for Almir Nostros, Edea Kealen, Ghorza, Robin Knepp, Sorrel Grant, and Thilde Nostros. Extras will not receive callbacks but will be cast around the same time we cast the other roles. All of this means that the cast will not be decided until a week or two later at most.
Personality: Clumsy but kind, Almir is the definition of a 'gentle giant'. He works as a baker to support his wife and kids, even if making money is a struggle these days. He'd never do no harm, couldn't even hurt a fly if he tried.
Voice: Masculine Medium-Deep; Any accents are welcome
Additional Info: You must be comfortable with shouting, yelling, crying, etc.
(Depressed) "Don't tell her this but I'm worried. If only one can win then one of us will go without the other. Honestly, what's the point?"
(Embarrassed) "W-What?! No! I would never! I even get nervous around the flames on our stove!"
(Calm, Loving) "I must admit, being by the ocean is fairly nice. The sound of the waves, the grainy sand, and you... All I could ever need in life."
Personality: Calm and Collected, Edea is the glue who holds the group together. They work as an apothecary, bringing medicine and vitamins to children. They're fairly logical but they have a big heart for living creatures.
Voice: Androgynous Med-Low, Any accents are welcome
Additional Info: You must be comfortable with shouting, yelling, crying, etc.
(Stern) "Don't move, you're going to aggravate the area. Let me apply the bandage so we can keep moving."
(Sorrowful, Comforting) "I'm sorry for your loss, but we mustn't sit around and let ourselves become vulnerable. If it helps, she was extraordinary."
(Delighted) "You actually want to help me? Well, that's marvelous! The tree line is nearby, lets not waste daylight."
Personality: Stoic until provoked, Ghorza is known for having a very tough shell. She was once a bodyguard, she has no problem being intimidating and neutralizing a threat. However, we all have emotions and even the strongest of soldiers can crumble.
Voice: Feminine Low, Slavic/Eastern European Accents preferred but any accents are accepted!
Additional Info: You must be comfortable with shouting, yelling, crying, etc.
(Irritated) "You won't be so lucky next time. All you've done is shown is how heartless you are."
(Annoyed, Soft) "You.. infuriate me, so easily. It makes me want to drive a sword through my own heart. However, you understand me better than most."
(Reassuring) ".. No, it's okay. It's.. beautiful. I'm assuming it's important to you, so it's important to me too."
Personality: Goofy but clever, Robin is a hard-worker and a brilliant young man. He worked as a translator before he was fired and brought into the games. He's very in touch with his emotions and wants to make it out alive to see his family again.
Voice: Androgynous Medium-High; American Southern Accents preferred but any accents are accepted!
Additional Info: You must be comfortable with shouting, yelling, crying, etc.
(Wretched) "They're lying, right in front of everyone. Everyone back home is going to believe it..."
(Cheery) "Listen y'all, my good friend, Sarah T, hit a homerun! Right outta the park! It went so far, it ended up hitting someone's window! Like in the movies!"
(Interested) "So you're telling me that you can hit a mark with your eyes closed? A perfect bullseye? No way!"
Personality: Soft and sweet, Sorrel has no reason to be part of the games. Set up for a crime she didn't commit, she's forced to participate because of her cousin's crimes. She only knows her quiet farm life, spending her days taking care of animals and helping her parents harvest during the fall.
Voice: Feminine High, American Southern Accents preferred but any accents are accepted!
Additional Info: You must be comfortable with shouting, yelling, crying, etc.
(Worried) "Killing another human though? That’s not going to look good. Just imagine what they could be saying about you."
(Heartbroken) "But he... He didn't do anything wrong! How could this happen..? He was.. so young..."
(Joyful) "I missed doing this with you, it's been years! Even if we're 'too old' for it, there's nothing better than playing mermaids in a lake!"
Personality: Compassionate but cautious, Thilde is truly the people's princess. She carries herself with such grace and patience that it inspires those around her to slow down, to breathe. Her warmth can be felt in everything she does.
Voice: Feminine Medium-High; Any accents are welcome
Additional Info: You must be comfortable with shouting, yelling, crying, etc.
(Surprised) "Oh! I honestly thought you would've been.. scarier! Taller too, much taller than what you are."
(Overwhelmed) "I don't know if this is right. They're all so young, they have their lives ahead of them. How can we sit here and allow this to happen to us? All of us?"
(Warm, Beaming) "If you need some extra water, I don't mind giving some of mine up for you. I truly don't need much but I'm assuming that you do."
FEATURED ROLES: There are currently 7 roles that will be featured in 1-2 backstory episodes and possibly a few mainstory episodes. The roles are as follows;
Young Beryl (Fem), Young Kael (Masc), Young Ghorza (Fem), Young Sorrel (Fem), Kael's Mother (Fem), Beryl's Captain (Masc), and Ghorza's Father (Masc).
People who fill these roles will be extra VAs and be featured as any background roles I need. Meaning, I will only be casting 7 extras to fit these roles. You're welcome to submit demo reels; if you don't, here's some lines down below! You're free to improv and come up with your lines own as well.
While Southern, Slavic, Eastern European accents are preferred for the younger roles, any ranges and accents are welcome; many takes are allowed if needed!
(Annoyed) "What about me? You were just laughing at me, guppie! You splashed me and then laughed!"
(Reporting) "Anyways, we had plenty of reporters from other stations who were able to talk with other participants. The lovely Gamemaster will be talking with us when the last participant arrives in 30 minutes."
(Teaching) "Your arms are too loose and your feet are too close together. You'd fall flat on your face before you land a hit on someone."
PAYMENT; Based off of your personal commission prices and how much work you will be doing will equate to how much you'll be paid.
If you're applying, it's recommended you add in your commission prices or private message me about how much you're looking for and we'll go from there!
