CANDY | Sims 4 Machinima Series - Maria (RECAST)
Project Overview
Welcome to the recasting for Maria, a supporting character of my Sims 4 VO Machinima “CANDY”! The first episode is already out, and I'll include a link so you can see what the series looks like and get a sense of the storyline. For those unfamiliar with Sims Machinimas, they take time to create, but I’m doing my best to keep you updated on my progress. Please, read the project description before auditioning!
Maria is a character I really like, and I hope whoever voices her will enjoy the variety of emotions and energy she brings. She doesn’t appear often, but she will have one episode mostly dedicated to her (episode 5). Additionally, she plays a significant role in the lives of other characters.
Synopsis of the series: In the quiet town of Blossom Creek, the enigmatic and a bit chaotic Candy arrives at a new high school, only to discover that her former summer love, Ji Eun, who heartlessly broke up with her through a text message, is now an intern there. Their reunion coincides with a wave of murders, gang riots, and kidnappings. Together, they must navigate the chaos of their personal lives while unraveling the mysteries that threaten to shatter their beloved town and its surroundings.
Genre: mystery, drama, romance
Important: The series includes sensitive topics such as violence, murder, partial nudity, mental illnesses, drug and alcohol abuse, overdosing, sex scenes (not too explicit) and heavy swearing. If you find any of those topics triggering, this project may not be for you. (UPDATE: I will strive to make this series as much YouTube-policy friendly as possible to avoid any issues and the possibility of the video being blocked, so I will ensure that the episodes ultimately are not 'R' rated.)
Rules:
-Clear audio: Be sure to denoise your audio before sending the audition. I’m okay with auditions recorded with smartphones as long as the quality is good.
-Show emotions: I kindly request that you do not send auditions where you simply read the lines. It's not what I'm looking for. Be prepared that in some roles you will have to scream.
-I DO NOT work with homophobes, racists, transphobes, etc. so if you’re not okay with LGBTQ+ content and POC characters, DO NOT audition.
-Once you’re cast, stick to the deadline. I usually give 3 weeks to record all needed lines and I’m okay with extensions, but if you decide to ghost me, I will be forced to find a replacement.
-Repeat each line 2-3 times
-You can change lines a bit if you feel they will sound better.
-Take time to read the character’s descriptions so you could be able to portray them more realistically.
-The most important one - have fun! I’m doing this project for fun and I’m hoping that I can give you some nice characters to play:)
When you're cast, I will need your Discord handle so I can add you to my server, so please include your handle along with your audition.
Feel free to ask me questions if you have any!

General info: Maria is a forty-three-year-old woman born in Eastern Europe. She also has some Romani roots from her mother's side. Throughout her life, she constantly moved between Europe and the United States, but currently, she resides in Blossom Creek (California, USA) with her husband Christopher and their daughter Candy. She owns a florist shop and sells her paintings. Both feel more like a passion to her than an actual job. Maria is on good terms with her mother, Arabella, though she finds her a bit too eccentric.
Backstory: During her childhood and teenage years, Maria frequently changed her surroundings due to her parents' involvement in the mafia. She was quite rebellious as a teenager, often escaping her home to create graffiti on city buildings. Maria met her husband Christopher at university, where she began her art studies, which she had never finished.
