Apotheosis is my first finished novel written in the fantasy genre, and as I've already been giving audiobooks to my shorter stories and poetry, I figured I ought to tackle the biggest thing I've written as well.
Usually I'd do all of the audiobook myself, but for Apotheosis I really wanted it to feel more special, so I decided to try and find some voice actors to bring the characters to life.
I don't know if people will be interested enough to do voiceovers for the entire book with me (it's quite the long book, 46 chapters total) but I do hope to at least get the first ones voiced. Currently I have nearly all of the characters needed for the beginning to Chapter 5.
I also ask that anyone interested reads at least the first few chapters (found here https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KYARu2gFhRwnSxO1PTpjU1lL22gWSATVsyJG0GefLYk/edit?usp=sharing ) to know if you'll actually like the story. (NOTE THE CHARACTER AUDITION LINES MAY SPOIL A FEW THINGS.)
Some characters stick around and others are side characters or aren't around for the entire book. The character descriptions will elaborate.
If interested, either in just the story, or in voicing a character in the audiobook, please join the Discord server for it! https://discord.gg/wsSyHhvBv2
I'm currently looking through all the auditions and seeing who fits where, it'd be helpful for more people to join the Discord so I can give more detailed crit on voice direction and provide example audio :P
Anyways, hoping to get every role picked this week or maybe later, dunno. I have a lot of auditions to sort through lol.
Someone who can add some liveliness to the story in all the places where it's not narrated by a character. This will require a LOT of recording. No specific gender required.
Brilliant streams of light streaked from her palm and impacted the Demon, its body being shredded by the divine energy of the radiant spell.
Trees began to fall to the sides, birds flying away and animals fleeing…
Every year millions of people die, And millions are born. Out of these millions, some portion goes to Hell and some portion goes to Heaven.
One of the main characters of the novel, has a naive personality and sounds on the younger side. Preferably should be able to sing.
Oh come on, nothing dangerous is in this forest! It’s all just cute little critters and beautiful golden leaves!
The only danger here is me!
(SUNG) Dear father, I will see you!
One of the main characters. Young male, should have a bit of an attitude, tends to jump to conclusions and poorly attempts to outsmart others. Perhaps a similar vibe to Dipper from Gravity Falls?
Lumen. Please. Your singing is gonna give our position away to literally anything in this forest that might want to kill us.
YOU DO NOT ATTACK MY SISTER!
Can we talk about whatever that horrific Demon in the woods was? Like, not just gloss over this?
One of the main characters, and one of the most talkative. MUST BE ABLE TO SING.
Should sound confident, and cocky. Adult female.
Wanna see some magic? Because, it wouldn’t hurt to show off my signature move!
Do you really feel like dying for a cause you don’t understand? Why not take some time off work? Go bond with your families while you’re all still here.
(SUNG) Amazing grace! how sweet the sound!
One of the main characters, but she doesn't get introduced until Chapter 5. Switches between sounding sweet/innocent and enraged/violent.
Oh! Other angels! And an Archangel? Someone I have not met before… I don’t recognize you… Are you a new Archangel?
I’m sorry… I just… That name… I hate that creature more than ANY OTHER BLASTED WRETCH…
but when you’ve been through so much pain and misery because of someone, hatred for them consumes your mind… I hate being so angry all the time, but I can’t help it…
Should be able to sing, but it doesn't have to be good! Caitlyn is a character with pretty inconsistent quantities of dialogue, speaking a lot in certain chapters but not being present in a lot of others. She should sound quite snarky and mean-spirited. Extremely sarcastic.
(Mockingly) You have gorgeous eyes, they're almost glowing!
But, hey. If we all die it’s not much of our problem anymore.
Oh boo-hoo, get over it. I had to kill the moron since his fear of this stupid floating black rock was going to get us killed…
A goddess. Shows up spontaneously throughout the story. Should sound somewhat ethereal. I will be doing some level of post processing on this.
I should’ve expected a virtuous answer from someone as incredible as you…
Enjoying your fall?
This is my philosophy, you may feel free to disagree as I place upon good people the respect to do so, but you cannot however debate me in any meaningful capacity, because I’ve already debated ten thousand of you.
An old and wise angel, has a short temper but deep down really cares. Isn't exactly a main character but he sticks around for a while.
We try to be understanding here, but it shouldn’t take having your face melted off by the pan to learn that it is hot.
Oh good lord, maybe it’s for the better that there’s only one of you.
Lord have mercy on their souls and give them strength… Because they sure as hell need it.
A character that sticks around for one chapter. Has an overconfident and snarky attitude, and is an intelligent type of character.
So, Archangel. This is the portal to Hell you were looking for…
And losing is so impressively you.
I prefer the term Mathematician.
Character that's around for a single chapter. She's an assistant to Avila, but has much more empathy.
If it makes you feel any better, I’m not happy about this situation either… I’ve begun to question the morality of all of this.
I guess judging from your own words, we are quite similar. Just two people scared to let our families down…
If you believe you can, then you can…
Ranch worker dude who's around for a little bit of the first few chapters.
WHAT IS ANY OF THIS!?!?
I can’t exactly explain the things I’ve seen you do, nor can I explain the nature of the creatures you did them to… But, in any fight between you and some supernatural creature, I’d bet my life on you.
What the hell!?
Just a side character angel in the beginning of the story for a few lines. Preferably male but the pronouns could easily be swapped if needed, they're not a major character at all.
This is a mission you will succeed in easily, all you have to do is find each of the Archangels.
Its name is Andromeda. Find it first, as it will be the easiest one to find.
A demon that attacks the characters at certain points. He's not a very prominent character. Has literally two lines.
Should sound pretty scary, deep monstrous voice.
Tracker. Kill.
Focus strike.
Stern officer of the police/military variety. Doesn't have many lines at all.
Now, you’re all signed up with the NDAs and paperwork, so let me make one thing clear: this is a job to be taken SERIOUSLY!
Hopefully you won’t see any intruders or trespassers, but if you do, you will KILL THEM ON THE SPOT.
A short little assistant angel that shows up during one of the earlier chapters. Has a very tiny quantity of lines.
Oh, we were hoping for all seven.
Other side character, should be an adult female that can sound horrified. Has one singular line, listed below, calling out a character's name in fear.
TRANQUILITY!!!
