Hello! Myself and my animation partner Tenora Station are looking for six voice actors to take part in three series we are currently writing on our YouTube channels. The series are called The Legend of Zelda: Sacred Blades, Alloroid and Awakening. The main cast of Alloroid and Awakening are called The Crackhead Squad, and are shown through various and continuous works that we make.
Sacred Blades and Alloroid however are mixed together in a story we are currently writing called Awakening.
We will be very specific on the voice depending on the audition, and strict with wanting to find a accurate voice to both characters since these voices will be used extremely frequently. So therefore, this is an EXTREMELY hard audition, however we wish all participants the best of luck! And our thanks for auditioning!
Requirements for Auditioning:
What is The Legend of Zelda: Sacred Blades?
A Legend of Zelda Alternate Universe created by DKS01. 17 heroes banded together to cast down evil in Hyrule, a little bit in the future after Wind Waker's journey was completed. The Four Swords are also included in these band of warriors, with different personalities (read or research the Four Swords Manga by Akira Himekawa, that's how you'll understand their backstory!) Each gathering together with very special powers, aided by the leader of the pack: Link. (Or Green, as many call him.) They go on a large adventure to rescue Princess Zelda and save Hyrule from Ganondorf's clutches.
What is Alloroid?
Alloroid is a slice of life series about a group of five teenagers in the suburbs of Ashtabula, Ohio. The series portrays their growth throughout one of the most difficult years of life- high school.
Follow Hatsuko, the depressed and cynical, Hana, the hyperactive ray of sunshine, Lux, the unhinged and cold, Opal, the contradictory logistical and emotional, and E, just E, the laidback emo boy. The five teens have humorously dubbed themselves as the Crackhead Squad.
Throughout the course of their school years, the cast collectively and individually tackles many obstacles and experiences…romance and heartbreak, prejudice and corruption, loneliness and acceptance, wild shenanigans, all of which may shake them to their cores.
What is Awakening?
The beginning of Alloroid is still the same throughout, but this time the Crackhead Squad takes a halt towards the middle after meeting Adriana VonHyrule (voiced by DKS01). A 10 year old runaway princess.
Striving to help them with their lives while fending for her own, Adriana helps the teenagers with their own struggles and life challenges. During this, the group protects her from the heroes that are forever chasing their ruler, trapping them at every turn and escaping physically, mentally, and emotionally. Adriana impacts them in means no one else would see from them, and the group bonds more closely and quickly than in Alloroid.
The Sacred Blades are part of the main cast for this story, as they appear multitudes of times in scenes and whenever Adriana is present. Hence why we are looking for voice actors as each character is mildly important.

Say something you think would fit
Neoly is a 5 year old former-sewn doll in the land of Hyrule. She was once a roaming child spirit until being met by Shadow Link, soon becoming his companion after making her body's vessel a doll Princess Zelda made for him due to their bond. She starts out as very shy and timid, but kind and gentle. However over time she becomes just like her "big brother", mischievous, cunning, and quick minded and feeble. And NEVER afraid to be energetic and help Shadow with tasks he can't do on his own.
Voice Range: Childlike voice, very high and dainty. Airy? And spunky.
- female child
*Worried, scared* "Big brother, what's going on? No one's in trouble... are they? A-am I in trouble? *Sigh* ...oh, good. I was hoping they didn't notice that drawing I did on the wall..."
*Sympathetic, emotional* "Princess- please don't cry... if... *sniff* you cry you'll make me cry...! J-just try to smile, a little? Please...? You're going to be okay...!"
*Confident, spunky* "...why are you looking at me like that? You don't scare me! I'm the brave Neoly! And one day I'm going to be a hero just like the Four Swords to defeat people like you! YEAH! *Laughs*"
Sylvester is a 10 year old boy who can be described as Impulsive, enthusiastic, fun-loving, simple-minded, ignorant, adventurous, friendly, daring, ambitious, and reserved. He loves meeting new people and is very energetic and often talks really fast when excited. Usually super talkative and dominating conversation. He is curious and loves learning about people and isn’t shy to ask weird or personal questions upon meeting someone for the first time. There isn’t a filter between his head and his mouth. Anything he thinks is going to be said. If he thinks you’re ugly he will say it to your face but he doesn’t mean it in a malicious way, just as an observation. He is caring but not very empathetic.
Voice Range: Mid male voice, childish and high pitched.
First three seconds of this song should give you an idea:

*Introduction* "HI! I'm Sylvester, and I can make lightning shoot out of my hands! Wow! Isn't that neat?! It's a pleasure to meet you! What's your name? Where do you come from? Are you from Hyrule? You must be! Do you have magic? I bet you can fly really high! I bet you can fly faster than the speed of light!"
*Sad, loss of hope* "I'll never be able to control these powers... am I never going to be like the rest of them? I'll always be an outcast..."
*Frightened, scared* "Uh... heh, I didn't mean t-to approach you g-guys- um... I just wanted t-to say hi to the princess u-um... ah! I-is that a knife? P-please put that d-down- um.. u-uh... help? Help...! Help!
Description:
Draellan is a straight-laced, logical type on the surface. Xey have a great sense of duty to the kingdom of Hyrule, and will stop at nothing to protect it. Xey practice self-discipline through combat arts, as well as showing promise of being a good tactician.
However xey have a great deal of arrogance and stubbornness. When socially challenged without a good basis, xey become petty and immature, doing everything in xyr power to prove xemself as the right one, insults included.
Voice range: Medium to high - A young teenager's voice, still prepubescent. Androgynous, leaning slightly more towards the male end of the spectrum. Smooth, no rasps and very few voice cracks. More serious than cheery. A good frame of reference would be a less suave and much more serious sounding Venti (from Genshin Impact).

*Introduction* Hello, it's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Draellan, a warrior with the Sacred Blades, and legacy of the great water spirit. I hope we can get along. Xe scoffs. I hope.
*Angry, defensive* I'm sorry...? How DARE you speak to Adri- Princess Zelda that way! She is YOUR higher-up, and if you don't treat her well then I will treat you like- ... Oh, I see how it is. You piece of trash, your incompetency will be met with the power of my ancestors! So you better run if you want to stay in one piece.
*Mocking, confident* Pfff, that's all you have? Your edgy looking self can't even land a hit on me. ... Hmmm, you want more? Because I have more. More than just a polearm on my side, do you wanna try me? I can assure you, as the far better protector of the Princess, I can own you in one. Fell. Swoop. So go ahead. Try to use that stick of a knife on me. I dare you.
Odysseus is a 23 year old man who can be described as quiet, distant, yet determined. He is an infamous bounty hunter. Although alone, he is always observant to everything around him. He will make himself known when he wants to be. Rarely does he express his emotions, always does he stay to himself. He is rather intimidating, capable of hushing an entire room into silence. If he is provoked, he will bite back with no warning what-so-ever. However, he is cursed with a kind heart. He will do anything for the people he deeply cares about. But things such as compassion and kindness are a rare bird with him, even to those who are close.
Voice Range: Deep, low, masculine voice. Think Trevor Belmont from Castlevania, or even Diluc from Genshin Impact.

- male young adult
*Introduction* “My name is Odysseus. You may know me as a… Infamous bounty hunter. Either way, whatever you want killed, I will kill it swiftly. So long as you have the rupees.”
*Menacing* “If the Princess weren’t so keen on keeping you alive, I would have killed you myself.”
*Wary, but responsive* “Perhaps I’ll tell you a story, so long as you give me that apple. I see you’re offering? Well then, a long time ago…”
Lilith is very naïve, shy, and overall soft. In the beginning, she doesn’t talk too frequently, only a few sounds and short words of verbiage. As time went on however, she turned very peppy and bright, and never hesitates to strike a pose and show off an outfit to the world! This also introduces her into modern culture and more “girly” interests such as trendy dances, latest fashions and styles, and a benefit to her quiet demeanor: gossip!
Even so, she’s the most talkative around the Sacred Blades and Adriana. Anyone else she will only pop in a few sentences, and in intense battles she tends to keep her opinions on the downlow. She's one of the most feminine and girly heroes out of the group. And her aesthetic is... well, the word "aesthetic."
Voice Range: Very soft and gentle, high-medium pitched, dainty, but can have sass.
- female teen
*Bright, enthusiastic* "Oh. My. Goodness, Lake Hylia is gorgeous today! I HAVE to get a photo of this! Oh, Amara hold this- and this, and... this! Okay! I'm ready to strut my stuff! *Laughter*
*Angry, protective* "Did you just... touch the Princess Zelda? I'm sorry, she isn't yours. Get your hands off of her NOW. Am I afraid of you? Psh, just wait until you meet my leader."
*Sad, lost in thought* "I... I miss you Zellie. You were the only one who understood me and welcomed me in. And... now that you're gone... what... *sniff* will I do now...?"
He is the most chill, laid back, happy guy you’ll ever run into. Even so, he is mildly humble and grateful about his career. He’s happiest when hanging out with Adriana, making music, going on tours, and hanging out with his new friends. He’s almost always seen with a smile on his face. He has good vibes, constantly making people comfortable just by his presence, and takes everything slow and easy. When he is on stage though, he gets into the mood immediately going full showman.
Voice Range: Medium Male, teenager.
- male teen
*Announcing, excited* "WHAT'S UP, HYLIANS!!! It's DJ B. up on the stage with a single I have been DYING to show you all! I want everyone to put their hands up and get ready, to LET. THIS BEAT. DROP!!!
*Laid back, chill* "Awe, come on PK. The kids are just having some fun, they're training at the same time right? Let them run around a little! Heh, I see Adriana with a smile on her face."
*Serious, stern, taking control* "Okay everyone. Arguing like this isn't going to get us anywhere. Those teens are no match for us, but we will be no match for them if we aren't working together. ...just saying."
