Become a voice actor in a Visual Novel for Josei Jam 2023!
The main genres are: Slice of Life, Sci-fi, Horror and Romance. See our profile for more info on the game itself, as well as information about our team and our past experience. Our itch.io pages are linked there.
Google Doc Version of the Casting Call Here.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION.
Actors will have short one word/ one sentence lines (as shown in the Casting Call) that will be sprinkled throughout the game, similar to Fire Emblem: Awakening (Click here for an Example). The rough estimate is about 15-25 of these small lines, with 1-3 takes for each.
Actors are expected to join the project discord, where live (Voice Chat) and written direction will be given.
Actors MUST be active on Discord (provide username in the audition) and be willing to discuss deadlines for lines. As the end of the Jam is June 30th, getting lines completed in a timely manner is of the upmost importance.
IF TIME PERMITS, we would like to fully voice act the two main endings of the game (+minor differences in each depending on if the player chooses to romance the alien, or depending on who the player chose as their main character: Margot or Adrianne.) Right now, Adrianne’s route is the priority, and this idea is on the backburner.
TO AUDITION, you MUST have 2-3 takes of the first two lines with varied delivery (ex. "On my homeplanet..." vs "On my homeplanet...", or trying out a different emotion with each take). Some examples for how to say the lines are given in parenthesis, with different ideas for delivery marked by a "/". Feel free to try out your own interpretations as well, however.
Line 3 is a test to see how well you can engage and emote- and it's also an excuse to hear more of your voice! 1 take is perfectly fine! If you can vary your delivery enough, 2 is appreciated, as well.
*****The Deadline for Auditions is Monday, June 5 at 12am EST.*****
WE ARE LOOKING FOR TALENTED, DEDICATED VOICE ACTORS WITH A GOOD WORK ETHIC.
Have good mic quality. We'd like it to sound as professional as possible. USB or XLR mics are both acceptable, as long as we can hear you clearly. Experience with noise reduction is a major plus.
Communicate with us. This project won't get done in time if we don't. The Jam ends on June 30th, so deadlines will be tight, but not unreasonable.
If this goes well, we'd love to collaborate on bonus features for the game after the Jam.
We think this is a great opportunity to help aspiring voice actors get their foot in the door with a little experience, plus something they can put in their portfolios. We can't wait to hear what you have to offer!
If you have a demo reel, feel free to link it in your submission as well. (NOT REQUIRED, BUT ENCOURAGED).
Feel free to contact us through CCC or on the project page if you have any questions!
