Vocalist
Understudies – We have decided to pass on understudies
unless the need arises.
I’m sorry to say that we decided to drop the Vocalist from
the cast—we would like to do something different for the recording of the alma
mater. Instead of having a solo singer, we are going to have the cast sing it
in character for a kickstarter bonus. Thank you for your understanding and I’m
sorry for taking up your time if you auditioned for it.
If you didn’t make the cut, there will be a second casting
call come 2018! It will include another major character and a few minor
characters. In the event that any of the above cast has to drop out, it will
also have any characters that need recasting.
To everyone who did make the cut—congratulations! We are so
excited to embark on this adventure with you all! Thank you for lending us your
incredible talent and we’ll be in touch with you soon. Make sure to leave us
your email in the comments below so we can contact you properly.
If you’d like to keep up with any project updates, feel free

Band Camp Boyfriend is a GxB otome visual novel filled with romance, comedy, drama, suspense, and even a bit of horror. There are 7 dating options with a range of personalities and appearances.
In it, you play as Cadence, a junior in high school who is starting her first year as drum major of the Blue Mountain Bandits Marching Band from Southern Pennsylvania. It is also the band's first year with a new band director, Mr. Victor Wiley. The band is filled with colorful characters and the bachelors' personalities resemble the stereotypes of the instrument they play. For example, Peter the trumpeter boasts a big ego while Clark the clarinetist is a no-nonsense perfectionist.
This is the first year the Blue Mountain Bandits will be going away to a literal camp for their two weeks of marching band. As anyone in marching band knows, Band Camp is full of blood, sweat, and tears. So do your best to stay alive and find love in this exciting homage to the crazy experience that is marching band!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Demo for Band Camp Boyfriend is currently in development!
If you are interested in auditioning, please understand we are not offering payment at this point in time, but there WILL be payment down the road when work for the full game begins. We're paying later because 1. The full script isn't done yet so we don't have a clear estimation of how many lines we want voiced and 2. How much money we make off the kickstarter will influence how much we can afford to pay and therefore, how much voice work we include.
This project is not demanding in the sense that there is not a great amount of recording involved. But fair warning that we will be more picky than normal with line redos and mic quality, since this is going toward a professional level project.
At this stage of production you would be committing to:
-Recording a small pool of 10-20 catchphrases/vocal expressions for your character(s)
-A short prequel video which will be an exclusive on the Kickstarter Digital OST Reward (Expected to clock out at around 5 minutes).
-Taking part in a "How to Survive Band Camp" promotional video, mainly featuring Mr. Wiley and Alex.
-Tom and Poptart will also receive special secret projects.
That being said, being cast in multiple roles is possible, so long as your voices for two characters are distinct enough. Please audition for as many roles as you see fit, and be sure to read the descriptions for personality notes.
*Line 1 is a collection of short sounds and phrases so make sure to put some space between each one. Feel free to improvise any other exclamations you feel would suit the character!
*Line 2 is a fairly casual phrase.
*Line 3 is a wild card. Sometimes I couldn't decide between certain lines so there is more than one crammed in there, marked by a "..." between phrases.
There could possibly be callbacks if we can't decide between two or three people for a role. We will also be casting understudies.
DEADLINE: JUNE 10th.
Keep in mind there are also auditions taking place on BTVA. If you have any additional questions concerning the portrayal of a certain character, we would be more than happy to answer them in the comments section! Good luck!

An easygoing jokester who would win the award for being told by the band director to shut up the most times. He lives to make his friends laugh, but can also be surprisingly clever and smooth in the flirting department. Also...he’s a total nerd. He spends way too much time gaming and is always quick to utter a reference that fits the situation.
His voice should be pleasing to listen to and sound friendly and relaxed most of the time. He's a casual sort of guy.
“Hiya!” “Whoa!” (chuckle) “Hey! (in complaint)” (nervous laughter) (tired sigh) “Sorry.” (groan) “Kidding!” “AAHHHH!!”
“So practice was pretty great today, right? I won a lightsaber battle with my trombone and found five bucks!”
“Hey...I know it’s not my business, but I don’t think you should give up on band. You might think it’s a waste of time, but well...maybe you need that escape in your life right now more than you think. And besides, you’re on the verge of being able to join marching band, the coolest thing in the world! You should at least give it a year before you decide to quit for good. If you give up now, you might regret it later.”
Living proof that trumpet players have huge egos. Peter is prideful and suave, confident and sassy; he’s a lady killer and he knows it. He’s the type of guy who can’t be without a girlfriend for long. So you’d better watch your back.
Peter is our resident hottie, so he’ll need a sexy voice to match that sexy mug. He speaks confidently and matter-of-factly--he doesn't have to try hard to get what he wants.
“Hey there.” (amused chuckle) “Later.” “Whatever.” “Hmm…” (angry grunt) (groan) (flirty sound) “Heh.”
"(flirty) “Tongue-lashing, you say? Mmm, I like the sound of that. Can I tongue-lash you back?” … “I don’t blame you. You must have heard the trumpet players are the best kissers in the band.”
"(a mix of nervous and excited) “Okay, let me try that again. ...I like you. You’re beautiful. You’re fun. Whenever I’m not with you, I’m dying to find you or imagining conversations with you in my head. But it’s not easy, never knowing what you’re going to say next. That’s why...I want to be your man. So I can have an excuse to talk to you, to get to know you. In short, would you...go out with me?”
The prudent, no-nonsense leader of the clarinet section who takes his job very seriously. His devotion to the marching band is nearly unmatched. He holds everyone to high standards, so he is prone to impatience and snap judgments. He’s got both resting bitch face syndrome and resting bitch personality.
A voice that can be sharp and condescending, but also surprisingly soft and sweet.
"(groan) (sigh) “Correct.” (amused sneer) “EXCUSE me?” (genuine laugh) (sobbing) “Hmm?” (evil laughter) “How dare you!”
"(annoyed) “I have a complaint.” … “In short, there is too much talking during rehearsal. There is a time and place for behaving like unsophisticated apes but that time is not in the middle of band practice! As a leader and a role model, you need to put these people in their place. Threaten to kick them out of the band if they will not comply!”
"(getting more and more worked up) You heard it yourself! He doesn’t care about the band! He doesn’t deserve to be here!” … “Isn’t it?! People like him are a cancer to this band! They’re just dragging us down! How will we ever attain excellence?!” … (grateful) “I suppose you’re right. Thank you for this. ...Er, I’d better go check up on them. Just to make sure they’re okay.”
The quiet, introspective, and mysterious leader of the saxophone section. He is considerate and gentlemanly, yet aloof and distant. He loves music above all else and is a rising prodigy in the art of jazz improvisation. He is a man of few words and little emotion. He is very zen. Finding good quotes to use for lines was a challenge all in itself.
Soft, serene voice that emanates a calming presence. He should sound like he’s in no hurry to go anywhere.
“Hey.” “Cool.” (long sigh) “Mmhmm.” (gasp) (sad grunt) (soft laugh)"
“Nice one. It’s exactly what he needed to hear. And I was happy to hear it, too.”
“Why do people always talk about getting outside your comfort zone like it’s a good thing? How is it a good thing for me if I’m uncomfortable?” … “Just relax. Don’t apologize. Just feel the music."
Poptart is softspoken upon first impression, but when shown a little kindness and patience he quickly opens up and proves to be a bubbly and cheerful boy, albeit socially awkward. Bright, quirky, curious, and more than a little offbeat, he may sometime come off as childish, but deep down he is surprisingly thoughtful and mature.
Higher male voice. A voice that should make hearts melt--except for when he's angry, then he should sound unnerving.
“Thank you.” (incoherent mumbling) “KABLOOIE!” “S-Sorry…” (laugh) (angry grunt) (sobbing) (fearful noises) “Umm.”
“I started playing French horn at the beginning of last year, but I was in the middle school band since I was a beginner. My guidance counselor said joining an extracurricular activity would help me get more socially acclimated. Heheh!”
"(frustrated) “I’m sick of being called out all the time! I’m trying my hardest! Can’t everybody see that?!” … (touched) “Thank you. For always being so nice to me, no matter what mistakes I make. You’re not like other people.”
A carefree, fun-loving momma’s boy with impressive strength and height, perfect for hauling around the biggest bass drum. He is an impulsive airhead and not the brightest light bulb in the place where they keep the light bulbs. However, he makes up for his lack of smarts with heart.
A deep voice. Doesn’t exactly scream “genius!” We imagine him sounding a bit like Groose from Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. He speaks with a ton of enthusiasm.
“Uhhhh…” (laugh “Huhuhuh”) “Phew.” “It’s AWESOME.” (grunt of concentration) “AAAAAAHHHHH!” “My bad.” “Huh?” “Oh yeah!” “Huh???”
“It’s gonna be AWESOME. I always banged on the big drum in the pit last year so I thought, hey, those kinds of drums get to march around the field too! So I asked Mr. Wiley if I could join them THIS year. Started from the bottom now I’m here.”
"(panicking) “H-HUH?! What, we can’t put it back together?! Oh man...oh man...Marian is gonna kill me. So what do we do?!” … “This is so awesome! This is my favorite drink, too! I wish this night could go on forever! I’M OFFICIALLY A DRUMMER!”
The hard-working captain of the color guard and band president. Garth is a (seemingly) modest gentleman who speaks eloquently and kindly to all he meets. He is an overachiever and takes part in a great deal of extracurricular activities, holding leadership roles in many. With his competitive spirit, he always strives to be the best in everything he does.
A pleasing voice to listen to, perhaps with a slight musical quality.
“Bonjour!” (disappointed sigh) (yell) (nervous grunt) (laugh) “Farewell.” (sobbing)
(happy) “Our instructor has yet to arrive so I ran the practice. Pardon my immodesty, but I did a bang up job, if I do say so myself.”
(nervous) “This is the oldest building. I think someone lived in this cottage at one point, but eventually they passed on and this compound was built around it. I’ve heard a number of stories, but...we don’t have time for that right now.”
The fast-talking, fearless director of the marching band. He’s an enthusiastic man with a plan, though he can be scatterbrained and moody at times. He often tries to be “hip” and progressive to appeal to the younger generations (and maybe avoid getting angry parents on his case), but this fails him more often than not.
He has a very brusque manner of speaking. His voice should be booming and commanding. A very important role. Mr. Wiley has a domineering presence whenever he appears onscreen and his voice needs to match that.
“Get set!” “One more time!” (grunt) (groan) (laugh) “Hahahahaha--no.” (incoherent screaming) (evil laughter) (sobbing)
“You have to protect your ears, especially when you’ve been doing this gig as long as I have. At thirty-three, I’m already losing my hearing. Can you believe that? And here I always thought my mind would be the first thing to go.”
(becoming livid) “Warm-up number 1. One, two, ready, and--...What. The hell. Is that. ...Yes. Yes, I am talking to you. What is that in your hand? ...And what do I keep telling you...over and over and over again? ...I DON’T CARE!”
Your roommate and best friend at Band Camp. Susie is bubbly and sunny and, despite her size, she wields a sousaphone like it’s nobody’s business.
An adorable female voice brimming with friendliness.
“Hello!” (mischievous laugh) “Aww.” “Whaaat?!” (sad sigh) (annoyed huff) “Oh nooo.” “Good night!”
“What a day!” … “I think it’s the heat. It turns everyone into slugs. Anyways, the low brass are having a get together, so I’m off to find them! It’s Baritone Awareness Day!”
“Seriously?! How blind can you be? Your decision to stay here is going to cause people to get hurt! How can you not see that?!”
Marian is the fearless leader of the pit and she will not take your crap. She comes off as a bit rude and direct, and is often exasperated by all of the problems piling up on her back, but she’ll warm up if shown a little sympathy.
Her voice is sharp since she’s usually in a bad mood. It cuts like a knife.
“Ughhh!” “Are you kidding me?” (sigh) (angry grunt) “Jerk.” (reluctant laugh)
(sob)“What are YOU looking at?” … “Don’t pretend like you think that highly of us.”
“I’m still recovering from my last romantic escapade. I dated Doug. And I still haven’t recovered all of the brain cells I lost.”
Peter’s obnoxious little brother who just started his first year in band. He is loudmouthed and loves to say things that tick people off. He and his brother fight a lot, but he has a deep admiration for him he wouldn’t admit to.
Alex hasn’t hit his final lap of puberty, so he has a young boyish voice. It’s kind of adorable. Could alternatively be voiced by a girl.
“Sup?” “Sorry not sorry.” (obnoxious laugh “Hahaa!”) (mischievous laugh) (angry scream) (grunt) (crying) “PETER!”
“Yeah. Peter taught me tons of stuff before I joined so I’ve pretty much got everything down already.”
(scared, upset) “You could get hurt! Don’t go, Peter! I don’t want anything to happen to m-my brother!”
Her real name is Olive, but the main character calls her “Angryphone” in her head because of her attitude. She acts bored by everyone around her and will gladly unleash her wrath on unsuspecting rookies, but she’s still as quirky as mellophone players come.
A bored, slightly bratty voice. A minor role.
“Ugh!” “No.” “(angrily) Poptart!!” (grunt) (groan) (chuckle) "Go away."
“There is no way you’re in the right spot! Seriously, I’ve explained it to you at least three times now. How are you not getting this?!”
“Poptart, huh? You do eat a lot of poptarts. We should just call you Poptart from now on.” (flat yet shocked) “Oh my God, he just sunk like a stone.”
The lead snare and glorified instructor of the drumline. He gives off a level-headed, sagelike vibe and comes off as more mature than the rest of the drummers, but he still likes to have fun. He takes his job very seriously and maintains complete control of his section.
Aaron speaks pretty calmly, though he takes on a threatening tone that sends shivers up the spine when his section is getting a bit unruly. A minor role...with major potential. ;)
"Hey." (mischievous laugh) (bored sigh) "Eh." "Ugh!" (innocently) "Whoops."
"Congratulations, Doug! You've officially survived your first week of Band Camp as one of us...well, almost. But that makes you a full member of the battery!"
(threatening) "You can try...but you'll be in big trouble if you do."
We would like to have a vocal version of the alma mater. So if you are interested, feel free to give it a shot! Below are the lyrics to the first verse of the alma mater and here is the tune...
Solo track: https://soundcloud.com/xandra-427187748/bmhs-alma-mater-melody-only/s-6d26K
"Blue Mountain High School
Standing tall with pride
Impart your wisdom and cast our doubts aside
Blue Mountain High School
The name rings so true!
Hail to the silver and to the blue!"
