Third times the charm. After previously dubbing the breakdowns of both mainline Ace Attorney and the Great Ace Attorney, I've finally decided to dub the breakdowns of the Investigations duology! After the release of the collection and an English translation of the second game finally releasing, it's finally time to give these knuckleheads some voices.
SPOILERS FOR BOTH GAMES BELOW
I am looking for voices for the main culprits behind every case and a couple other characters to scream, yell, and go utterly berserk for a youtube video. You can find the other two videos here for a little idea as to what to expect:

The casting call will be open for just under a month, closing on December 1st, upon which, I will decide who to cast, casting later that day. Please provide your Discord name so I can contact you if you are cast. Upon being cast, you will be invited to a group DM on Discord (or a temporary server if it fills up) where instructions regarding recording will be posted.
Please be of age 16 or higher to audition.
Please be able to meet deadlines. I'm not going to be giving super tight of a deadline, but I'm not giving months, please be able to record quickly.
Only audition for yelling characters if you are able to make as much noise as you can, characters will be marked with an indicator if yelling is required.
Have decent audio quality. I'm not looking for perfect audio, but please ensure there is little to no background noise, and that yelling doesn't peak.
I look forward to hearing the auditions!
The CCC has now closed! The casting process will be carried out today. Myself and a co-director will be combing through all of the auditions and picking the best fit for each role. If chosen, you will be contacted through Discord later today and given further instruction. Once everyone has responded on Discord, the roles on here will be marked as cast and credits will be provided. Thank you for auditioning!
There is only one week left for auditions! Casting will take place this coming Sunday, in which I will be going through and picking the best voice for each character. Double casting may happen. I will be contacting casted VAs via Discord. I’m excited to put together the group this Sunday!
Miles Edgeworth, being the protagonist of the series, will not have any breakdowns himself. However, he is integral for lead-ins to the breakdown and needs to convey the conviction needed of a man of the law taking down a criminal. He will be required to shout and act accusatory toward the characters that do break down.
For his voice, while there are plenty of voice examples from things like the anime and some games, you're welcome to either sound close to canon, or improvise slightly. Though an air of confidence and strong will is required.
(Frustrated, stern) "You, who profess to bear a grudge against criminals, why?! Why do something like this?!"
(Demanding, slightly offended) "Don't sleep while I'm pointing my finger at you!"
(A
Eustace Winner is also a prosecutor. While he acts smarmy and confident, in reality he's been held up by his father his entire life. In this video, he will be voicing in Excelcius's breakdown, taking down his own father.
The only real voice sample is his OBJECTION line, which you can go off or you can be creative with the voice. He should sound almost like a whiny brat, but he also has confident moments especially in this scene.
(Teary eyed) "I know you've hated me for as long as I can remember... but still.."
(Solemn, stern) "Thanks for everything, Excelcius.... And goodbye."
BE ABLE TO YELL
Jacques Portsman is a prosecutor himself, and also the first breakdown in the series. He's a full-of-himself guy that believes he cannot be found guilty (as most culprits are).
He should some almost pompous, while trying to seem cooler than he is. Please be creative with the voice, see clips of the cases for further looks into the characters.
(Frustrated, panicked) "He..! I can't believe..! To get tripped up by simple arithmetic?!"
(Yelling, caught) "IIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!"
BE ABLE TO YELL
Cammy Meele is the sleepy airhead of an airplane stewardess. She is consistently out of it, not particularly aware of her surroundings. Or perhaps her ditzy persona is all just a farce.
She should sound tired, and her speech is somewhat slurred. Please be creative with the voice, see clips of the cases for further looks into the characters.
(Serious) "Oh.. I wouldn't dream of falling asleep on you, Mr Edgeworth..."
(Cornered, yelling) "NoooooOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!"
Lance Amano is both the culprit and victim of I1-3, he framed a kidnapping on himself, and his personality aligns with how ridiculous that sounds. He's a bit of a snobby brat who frankly nobody likes. Please audition.
He should sound sniffly and as though he hasn't properly grown up. Please be creative with the voice, see clips of the cases for further looks into the characters.
(Timid, exaggerating things) "Sorry.. I really didn't want to relive that horrible ordeal, but.. now you believe me, right?"
Callisto Yew is a defence attorney and member of the Yatagarasu, a group set on fighting criminals. Shame she's a criminal herself. Callisto is a sassy woman, with a habit of laughing at completely inappropriate things. Her other identity, Shih-Na, is a lot more low-key and cloaked in resentment.
Her voice should be very upbeat, but serious when she needs to be, with an element of sass and condescension. Her laughing should be rather infectious. Her Shih-Na voice should be more mysterious, and covert. Please be creative with the voice, see clips of the cases for further looks into the characters.
(CALLISTO VOICE - Glee, recovering from a laugh) "You're sending... the biggest chill down my spine right now, Mr Edgeworth!"
(CALLISTO VOICE - Uproarious laughter) "Hee..hee....hee...aha..ahaahaahaAHAHAHAHAA!!"
(SHIH-NA VOICE - Resenting, condescending) "I'm sorry... It was so funny I couldn't help but laugh."

Quercus Alba loves his extra-territorial rights. He is a powerful leader of a foreign legion, and will stop at nothing to escape his crimes. He's extremely stubborn, finding a way to object to Edgeworth every time he thinks it's "the final battle".
Quercus is old, and looks like a tree, so his voice should sound aged, and creaky. Almost as if a piece of wood could talk. Please be creative with the voice, see clips of the cases for further looks into the characters.
(Arrogant, with a sigh) "You've done well, boy.. To make it this far."
(Yelling, cornered) "EdgewoooooOOORTTHH!"
BE ABLE TO YELL
Bronco Knight is the bodyguard of the president of Zheng Fa, and the first culprit of the second game. He's somewhat arrogant and he freaking loves chess.
He should sound arrogant and genuinely seething at everything Edgeworth does. Please be creative with the voice, see clips of the cases for further looks into the characters.
(Maniacal joy) "The hack killed Rook! She's the murderer! And you just proved it!"
(Yelling, cornered) "Gnngh.... noooOOOOOOOO!"
BE ABLE TO YELL
Fifi Leguarde is the warden at the local prison, she's been held mentally hostage by assassin Kanis, leading her to commit a murder. She's an extremely flamboyant and flirtacious woman, acting like a QUEEN but also almost roleplaying sometimes as a damsel in distress.
Her voice should reflect her personality, boisterous and sultry. Please be creative with the voice, see clips of the cases for further looks into the characters.
(Melodramatic) "Curse that despicable man Kanis..! Why did he have to come and ruin my perfect little home.."
(Yelling, panicked) "HE RUINED EVERYTHIIIIIING!"
BE ABLE TO YELL
Carmelo Gusto is a master sweets maker, and looks like he could teach you spinjitzu. He is loud and abrasive, and shows little remorse for both his murder and the abandoning of his own son.
He should sound mighty and aged, like a ninja sensei. But also with an underlying tone of malice. Please be creative with the voice, see clips of the cases for further looks into the characters.
(Frustrated, commanding) "How can that be?! Tangaroa wasn't an accomplice to anyone and you know it!"
(Using all his might and strength) "Hnngh... HNNNNNNNGGGGHHHHHHH!"
BE ABLE TO YELL
Excelcius Winner is the chief of the board of Prosecutors, and the father to Eustace. He not only committed murder but also participated in illegal auctions. He is a villain at heart, and acts without remorse to his own son or anybody.
For his voice, I'm looking for almost a comical cartoon villain, the most bombastic, stereotypical, and exaggerated comic book, moustache-twirling villain you can. Please be creative with the voice, see clips of the cases for further looks into the characters.
(Frustrated, building anger) "Be careful what you say to me, boy. You may live to regret it!
(Yelling, cornered) "EEEUUUUSTAAAAAAACEEE!"
