Extending Auditions
Howdy guys! So I'll be honest with you: the auditioning circumstances for this project were...less than workable. That's not to say the auditions themselves were poor; far from it, actually. Yet we got six auditions for twenty roles, and even these were spread across only three roles: Frisk, who has only two lines, Toriel, also two, and Chara, with three.
So my options with just these auditions would be to a) leave four-fifths of the rap out or b) voice every other character with the sound of a dying cat gurgling nails, a.k.a. my own voice. Yeah no. That only works for Undyne. And Flowey. And...actually, that description fits a surprising number of characters, but that's besides the point!
Jokes aside, this is what I have decided to do about it. I am going to select an audition for those three roles, then extend the deadline for all others. From this point on, I shall do the same on the last day of each month until we have all roles filled. Meanwhile, the selected VAs and I will begin production.
Until then, there are some things you can do if you want to help. Tell your friends and family, because whose grandmother isn't into sarcastically voice acting characters for fan webcomics of video games, am I right? Also, feel free to audition for multiple roles. I can tell some people here are really good at manipulating their voice, and while I don't want to be pushy and say, "hey! I know you tried out for Frisk, but you're actually now Alphys, Mettaton, Lucida, the narrator, and Monster Kid," I would reccomend giving it a shot. For the record, I have no problems with appointing people for different characters, as long as the voice fits and they're comfortable with it.
As with my other project, "Lyrical Megalovania," I will be on vacation during the audition deadline, so expect my verdicts during the first or second week of January. See the update I posted there for more information.
So as a total-not-copy-and-paste-of-what-I-said-in-that-update, enough of my rambling. Merry Christmas, happy Hannukah, happy Kwanza, or whatever you celebrate. Enjoy your holidays, and thanks to each and every one of you who has taken an interest in my project.
