Backup VAs (For Sonic the Hedgehog shorts)
Project Overview
In order to enter, you would have to be able to reach out to me for multiple Sonic projects, one likely made a few months after another. In other words, your likeliness to voice act the same character would likely have to be on par with the voice actors of the real Sonic games and other media.
Since a lot of my Sonic shorts are on hold because some of my regular voice actors are hesitating to send me their lines, I want to re-open this old casting call just to cast some backup voice actors. And unlike regular casting calls, I would accept multiple instances in the same role. Just make sure you have a Skype account and I'll add you to my projects group.
Basically, I need help finding voice actors because in the past, my Sonic shorts were criticized because all characters' voices sounded the same, and I said that it was because I didn't have the motivation to search for voice actors. Now I'm here and ready to fix that problem.
I am not confident as to what will come, but I may make a few Sonic shorts and episodes of my series "Sonic Characters read Sonic Fanfiction" on SFM (Source Filmmaker), but ideas from them will come in the form of requests.

Without further explanation, here are the rules and expectations:
In general, you will NOT be paid for any of this.
You must have a good microphone with a pop filter. Webcam mics and bad-quality mics will be rejected. If you don't have a good mic, I recommend the Blue Yeti line of microphones.
I will be needing your Skype address or Discord ID because if and when I accept you for a role, I will be sending you a script for all projects in Master Scene format through your email address. For more information about the Master Scene format, see the second half of this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h5I3Tq9j29c
Be aware that the character you audition for may not be present in any of projects I come up with. But that only applies for the more minor characters in the main series.
The role characteristics listed are not exactly accurate, but if you follow the Sonic franchise often, you'll know what to expect.
You don't have to recite any of the lines provided for your chosen role in your audition. If you follow the Sonic franchise often, you can really just recite any line from that character.

Wow... Ever since I announced my YouTube comeback, this outdated project has gotten a significant amount of activity and additional auditions... despite it being well past its original deadline! But I'll tell you what. I will delete all past auditions before this year, and if you want to contribute another audition to my future voice-acted projects (some of them will not be, according to a poll I made a long time ago), you can re-submit an audition there.

I am now going through auditions
It has been almost two months since I started my Casting Call project for backup voice actors for my Sonic shorts. I will now be going through your auditions. The reason I'm doing this now is because beforehand, either I didn't have time or I was too nervous to bother, but I'll try my best to go through them. Also, because I'm looking for multiple actors per role, roles won't be "casted". Instead, I will comment "You qualify as a backup voice actor" in your audition. If you get that comment in your audition, you have been cast as a backup voice actor for your role! Good luck, and thanks for participating either way.
Short-tempered, raucous, pompous, immature, cruel evil genius
You fool, away! Before I make mincemeat out of you!
That's right, Sonic. The great Dr. Robotnik has reformed! Ha ha ha ha ha!
Easy-going, loud-mouthed and has a heart of a child.
The reason I put Ageless in there is that even though he sounds like a Middle-Age, he really is at a Young Adult age.
Espio, don't be silly! Besides, you know our policy. We never turn down work that pays!

The reason I put Teen in there is that even though he sounds a bit older, he really is at Teen age.
It seems you like to play with fire. Let me light up your fingers then.
You're still so naive, but I... I've always liked that about you.
Calm, yet arrogant at the same time
Hmm. Look how pathetic they are! I don't have time for these humans.
Anybody who gets in my way is my enemy.
You'll regret this, Doctor. Even if I'm not real, I'm still the ultimate lifeform, Shadow the Hedgehog!

Even though this is a male child, a female can voice him, just like how it is in official Sonic media today.

Hey Shadow! I gotta ask you somethin'. Vector told me to find five top secret disks. But like, what's a top secret disk?
Taken from Sonic News Network:
Sonic's personality is a juxtaposition of kindness and ferocity.
I don't know any more specific details in that, but if you know the franchise, you get the idea.
I'm Sonic! Sonic the Hedgehog!
You might know everything I'm going to do, but that's not going to help you since I know everything YOU'RE going to do! STRANGE, ISN'T IT?!
Eggman! I AM going to save this planet, and I AM going to free these aliens. No copyright law in the universe is going to stop me!
Very serious, quiet, level-headed, intelligent, wise and disciplined, but also opinionated and somewhat arrogant at times.

All the world's jewels will be mine.
From the Sonic News Network:
Sally is strong-minded and is very opinionated.
One of these days you'll learn that speed is no substitute for common sense!
(Really just any line from the SatAM show or the Archie comics)
From Sonic News Network:
Described as having "a strong sense of justice"but is young and somewhat immature. He feels anger and joy intensely and loudly, but his sadness is silent and hardly, if ever, marked by tears. He lets his rage control him and cheerfully remarks on the things that make him happy, but hardly says a word in his sadness, though it is visible to everyone. However, though he may feel sad, he never gives in to despair.
A lot brighter than this. The sky is blue, and everybody's got a smile.
To kill someone to save the world... Is that really the right thing to do?
