Ape Attorney is a crossover YouTube series between Ace Attorney and Donkey Kong Country! We have completed four episodes already, but we need to recast a role to continue the series.

We're trying to pick production back up with Episode 05, and we need someone to take over the role of Maya Fey, who is the always-dependable assistant of Phoenix Wright. She is a deuteragonist in the series, so she has a large and important role.
We are looking for a young adult female voice who fits Maya's personality type. Maya is spunky, fun-loving, easy-going, a bit of a space case at times, but ultimately a sharp analyst who can think outside of the box. She is a loyal ally and a trustworthy friend, and she brings a lot of heart to the series.
Maya also has a musical number in a future episode, so being able to sing is a plus!
Hello everyone, and thank you to all who applied for this role!
I'm currently in the process of reviewing auditions and discussing things with my team.
I hope to be able to make a casting selection by the end of the day, or by tomorrow.
Stay tuned for our next update where we will declare our choice!
Maya is a spunky go-getter who is always enthusiastic in everything she does, and is a strong source of energy for the story. Her jokes and commentary keep the audience hooked.
She and Phoenix are the two deuteragonists. Compared to Nick, who is usually the "straight guy" of their comedy duo, Maya is often the "funny guy," who keeps Nick on his toes with her antics.
She is goofy and often a source of comic relief, but this is usually due to how her head can get lost in the clouds. Despite being a bit "out-there" in her unique way of seeing things, she's very sharp and brainstorms with Nick in the courtroom to help him solve the various mysteries.
The following are all relatively serious lines, spoken in non-comedic situations: "Oh boy, here we go..." "We need to really pick this testimony apart with surgical precision. We need to be armed with as many tools as possible to solve this mystery." "Don't get distracted by their antics, Nick."
The following are more lighthearted lines: "That ape sure can play a saxophone!" "Nick? *pause* Nick! *pause* NICK!! *pause* You went into courtroom mode again…" "Fun fact: the ramp to board a ship is called a 'gangway!' We better start using pirate lingo, now that we're on a ship! Arrh!!"
The last batch are various emotional lines: Scared: "Is that a g-g-ghost!?" Excited: "WOOOOOOOOO!!! DID YOU SEE ME, NICK!? DID YOU WATCH ME EUROCURVE INTO A BACKSIDE 360 DOUBLE HAND DRAG BEFORE THAT LAST POWDER SLASH!?!?!" Angry: "You almost KILLED him! I'll kick your butt into next week, you crazy cockatiel!" Bittersweet/happy (this is the last scene): "I'm tearing up a bit here, Nick! What a wild adventure this has been!"
