Welcome all! I'm IKG Productions, leader of Team Turnabout and producer of our video series, Ace Attorney: The Shield of Justice! We are reaching out to voice actors on Casting Call Club in order to re-cast Athena Cykes. Our previous voice actor had to step-down, so we are really hoping to re-cast the character!
Our fan series: https://www.youtube.com/teamturnabout
There is a lot of information on this CCC page. Please read everything on offer before auditioning! Thank you!
What do we look for in a prospective team member?
We are looking for dedicated participants who will be willing to stick with us patiently and potentially wait for a while to act as their character before and during production. Please note that side content with no restrictions placed on canonical stories, such as Asinine Attorney episodes, may open up opportunities for some actors earlier than expected. Voice acting for TSoJ is not a large amount of work for one person, as once a character is introduced in the story and begins to receive lines, the chosen voice actor will be given ample time to get their lines in with breaks between episodes. The Shield of Justice is a complicated project with a lot of moving parts, but voice acting for the project won't be much work for one person. This is why we value commitment, patience, and communication so much! By auditioning to this casting call, you are promising to accept and cooperate with this process!
SPECIFIC INFO FOR ATHENA CYKES
This Casting Call page is designed to help with re-casting Athena, however, we are hoping to find a replacement that can emulate the inflections, tone, and voice of our previous actor in order to maintain consistency. Some interpretations of the character's voice are higher pitched while other interpretations are lower-pitch. Our preference is for the actor to portray the character with a lower-pitch, and we hope the inflections, tone, and voice of the clips provided will help demonstrate what we are looking for! Those interested in auditioning should view the following excerpts before auditioning (all are time-stamped):

IMPORTANT NOTES
-Team Turnabout operates via a Discord server. We require that all dev-team members have a Discord account and check the server frequently.
-Poor microphone quality can significantly hurt the reception of your audition. A Blue Snowball is recommended as a minimum source of microphone audio quality.
-Multiple takes per audition are perfectly acceptable, but also optional.
A select number of the most favored auditions will be asked to partake in an interview with me on Discord, and the official casting will be done shortly after, taking both the audition and the interview into consideration. If you do not accept a friend request from me, it's possible that I won't be able to reach you at all, so please be mindful of that! Look out for a Discord user by the name of IKG Productions -- that's me! :) We recognize that this is a highly unusual step in the process, but we deemed it was necessary given difficulties when working with a previous actor. Just want to be transparent!
This casting call will close on March 27th, 2022! We look forward to hearing your auditions!
Thank you,
IKG Productions
Athena Cykes is one of the four main protagonists of The Shield of Justice. She was the lead character of Case 3 (Episodes 5, 6, and 7). She will be utilized relatively often in the main series, along with occasional appearances in Asinine Attorney videos and further main series episodes. Athena has a minor role in the upcoming episodes of Case 4 (Episodes 8 and 9).
Note! We're looking for a lower-pitched / mature, young female voice that still has energy to it!
Your Honor, I can use the Mood Matrix to deduce how the witness is feeling! I can detect any odd or unusual emotions for the situation. Please, I know this is unusual, but I promised a certain friend I’d bring psychology to the courtroom! (Informative and firm)
Well, I consider it a challenge! And really, I’m sure that Mr. Edgeworth isn’t so tough! (Very confident and peppy!)
Wocky…I can tell how you’re feeling. No one likes to be locked away from the outside world… Believe me, I understand your act of displacing. Just… help Trucy and I understand why you are so insistent. (Calm and sincere)
