About Vox Machina: Vox Machina is the legendary adventuring party from Critical Role, a popular Dungeons & Dragons actual play series.

First of all, I'd like to thank everyone that has taken interest in this nerdy little project of mine! You all are incredibly talented and appreciate your auditions!

Born in Byroden, she and her older twin brother Vax'ildan, were raised there by their mother Elaina until they were taken to live in the elven city of Syngorn at the direction of their father, Syldor Vessar. She and Vax'ildan were unhappy, and left in their early adulthood to be on their own. In their travels, Vex'ahlia rescued a bear cub, Trinket, gaining a loyal animal companion.
Vex is the more pragmatic of the twins. She is very deceptive and can usually bluff her way through various social encounters. Her charisma has also made her good at haggling. Her tendency to haggle stems from her frugality. Her frugal nature is the result of Vax and herself having to fend for themselves during their teenage years. Unofficially, she is the treasurer for Vox Machina, and often only gives cryptic answers when questioned by the group about how much gold they have. But beneath her flirtatious attitude, self-confidence, and outgoing exterior lay a girl who feels broken and unwanted.

"Oi, Tavernkeep! Another round for Vox Machina! The greatest band of mercanaries in all the realms!" [Slightly inebriated]
"It's their swamp, brother. Whoever they are. If they want to ambush us there isn't a lot we can do about it." [Explaining, nonchalant]
"I'm sorry, next time we'll aim for the FANCY secret underground fighting club, Percy Darling." [Sarcastic]
Keyleth was raised in Zephrah as a member of the Air Ashari tribe. When she was a child, her mother Vilya left on a journey to earn the title of headmaster of the tribe, but never came back. After reaching adulthood, Keyleth left her home to attempt the Aramenté herself.
Keyleth is shy and very socially inept. This makes it difficult for her to persuade others to help her and her friends out in many situations. However, she also has a strong moral compass, which leads her to question at times some of the rather extreme choices that Vox Machina tends to make. Although she has slowly been overcoming her own social flaws, at times her anger gets the better of her.

Hi there! I'm look for this mother's child. He's a little boy, dwarf. I..didn't get his age or..uh..hehe his name... [Starting out confident then fizzle into awkward]
"She's all alone and sad and we do help people sometimes! Besides, it's not like we have any other worked lined up!" [Compassionate, trying to get the rest of the crew to take the job]
"Good job, Vax! You were so close to hitting him!" [genuine but also awkward]
Percival Fredrickstein von Musel Klossowski de Rolo III, often known simply as Percival de Rolo or Percy, is a human gunslinger member of Vox Machina and the father of firearms in the world of Exandria. He is played by Taliesin Jaffe. Percy's family once ruled the city of Whitestone, but when he was young, they were overthrown and murdered by the Briarwoods, Anna Ripley and their allies. Percy fled, his hair turning white from the trauma, and he wandered aimlessly for several years.
Percy is rather quiet, usually only speaking when necessary. However, he has shown he can be quite persuasive in social situations and is somewhat of a tactician within the group. Despite his prim and conscientious exterior, however, Percy has shown himself on multiple occasions to hold the signature eccentricity of a tinkerer.

"You're strangely quiet, Grog. I wouldn't have expected missing children to be such a soft spot for you." [Confused]
"How, pray tell, can something be BOTH prestigous and secret?" [Unamused]
"Bollocks! Does anyone have eyes on the dragon yet?!" [Focused, slightly frustrated]
Pike was raised in the city of Westruun by her great-great-grandfather Wilhand Trickfoot, who had redeemed their family of thieves by becoming a follower of the Everlight. She joined Vox Machina to help them find her missing friend Grog.
Pike is very compassionate and cares very deeply for all of her party members, often going out of her way to ensure nobody falls unconscious or dies in battle. She often feels like she has to put on a brave face for everyone just so they don't worry about her.
Voice example: https://youtu.be/_b1oZmPrpDg?t=305
"Grog, are you alright? Do you need me to heal you at all?" [Worried]
"It wasn't a bad idea, buddies. And there will be plently more chances to throw rocks at things." [Attempting to cheer up Grog]
"I coud always come with you guys. I have ways of getting the truth out of people. With a little help, of course." [Confident, almost cocky]
Grog Strongjaw is a goliath barbarian/fighter and a member of Vox Machina. He is played by Travis Willingham. When he was young, Grog was exiled from the Herd of Storms by its leader, Grog's uncle Kevdak, for taking pity on a helpless old gnome the tribe was attacking. He was then taken in by that same gnome, Wilhand Trickfoot, and raised alongside his great-great-granddaughter Pike.
Grog has shown himself to be rather impulsive, as seen often when he charges ahead of the group into an unknown area of a dungeon or map. He was also the only chaotic-neutral group member at the start of the campaign, and he is often more aggressive and less merciful than some of the other characters. He does not like being bested in single combat Grog is illiterate and cannot read or write in any language.

"I'm mouring my empty cup. And not having enough money to fill it. Goodbye, ale..." [Upset]
"I love fighting AND I love glory! Come on, Pikey! You and me! It'll be great!" [Excited]
"Oi, you watch where you're going, Dick nose!"/"I would like..to RAGE!"[angry]
Scanlan Shorthalt is a gnome bard member of the group Vox Machina. He is played by Sam Riegel.
Scanlan's quick wit and silver tongue made him Vox Machina's best negotiator and deceiver. Scanlan often acted as support for his allies by enhancing their abilities or weakening their opponents. He was also capable of holding his own with a combination of magic, improvisation, and courage.
Voice example: https://youtu.be/_b1oZmPrpDg?t=428
"Oh, you haven't heard of Scanlan Shorthalt? Well, gird your loins, ladies, because he has his eye on you." [Flirtatious]
"A group of valiant heroes joined forces to banish evil from this plane! All in a days work for the mighty Vox Machina!" [proud]
"As I was saying the spirit of the mighty heroes fighting together in- Woah watch the moneymaker!" [Proud then worried]
There are a multitude of side characters in the comic ranging from children, knights, contracters, thieves, mothers and many more. Ranging from having only one line to multiple spanning over the entire comic. I feel it'd be easier to have just one role on the castingcall and I will pick who will voice who.
Please just include your Demo Reel or just an audition with your range of voices and accents.
