I would like if you know at least a little about Danganronpa and/or Milgram when auditioning! While technically not a requirement and not knowing about either series wont get you rejected, knowing the Danganronpa characters will help you voice then better and get in their mindsets!
This project strives to combine the idea of MILGRAM, the musical program hellbent on judging murderers for their sins, with the visual novel game Danganronpa. This takes place in an alternate universe where the killing games and tragedy never took place, and instead a program called DANGANGRAM has taken ten talented young high schoolers who have all committed a murder in one way or the other, at least in the eyes of the program. And the job of you, as Keebo the Warden, is to judge them Guilty or Innocent.
DANGANGRAM will be similar to MILGRAM, with a big difference being there will be more podcast or "drama" sections where you see the prisoners interact with each other and sometimes Keebo. The music videos will still be a large portion, as will the voting system and even sending in questions, but I want to try and have the characters interact more on screen.
~~
This is my first project I've ever tried to take on, and I know it's pretty ambitious. I am doing this as a one person team with just the love for the project, so I hope you all forgive me if I am not perfect!
Thank you everyone who auditioned! It was so SO hard to chose between all the incredible submissions! Everyone did an amazing job and I'm so grateful to everyone for auditioning! Please dont feel bad if you didn't get chosen! Listening to all of your submissions was incredible, and you should all be proud! Thank you for auditioning! I hope to see you all when this project takes off!
I have decided to shorten the deadline from August 25th to June 30th! This way I will select any roles that have auditions, and any that do not will be put up into a second casting call.
The reason for this is I have received way more auditions than I expected to, and so I am wanting to get the project started as soon as possible!
I've decided that I really think it's unfair to not pay the voice actors and singers since you guys will be the heart of the project, so despite my lack of income, I will be paying both singers and VAs now, although different rates!
Because voice actors will be given more frequent tasks, they will be paid less, at $10 per video they record lines for!
Meanwhile singers will receive $20 per song they sing!
Again I'm trying to make it fair while staying within my budget. This is something I really want to make with love and heart, so I hope everyone would feels the same!!
The Warden of DANGANGRAM, Keebo is our replacement for Es. He will be the voice of the audience as they play as his "inner voice". Opposed to Es, Keebo is more friendly and warm to each prisoner, though he still feels a strange commitment to DANGANGRAM that he can't explain. It must be his programming....Wait, that's robophobic!
You do not have to audition as both the voice and singer, though it is preferred!

(Firm, confident) My name is K1-B0, though you may call me Keebo. I am the warden of DANGANGRAM. (Mildly confused) I...do not recall anything further than this.
(Calm) My inner voice guides me, telling me what to do. It's with their help I infer who is innocent and who is guilty.
(Angry) Are you saying because I am a robot I have no morality?! That is robophobic!

NOTE: Keebo will not be singing as much as the other characters, but I do have plans for him still!
Sing a song in Keebo's voice that you think fits him!
Monokuma takes the place of Jackalope, the enforcer and overseer of DANGANGRAM! He rules the prison with a sadistic and diabolical fist!-er...paw! He is every amount as insane and messed up as he is in canon Danganronpa!
I currently have no plans for Monokuma to have a singing role, so only a voice actor is necessary.

(Cheerful) Gooooood morning, sleepy head! My name is Monokuma, and welcome to DANGANGRAM!
(Teasing, sinister) You knoooow, you cant trust what any of those prisoners say! They're all murderers after all! Us robots should stick together!
(Angry) I am not a teddy bear! Call me that again and you'll be nothin' but spare junk!
The first prisoner in DANGANGRAM is Ryoma Hoshi, the former star tennis player. He is one of the more mild mannered of the prisoners, though that is probably due to his lack of a will to live. Whatever his sin is, he clearly hasn't recovered from it.

(Hint of annoyance) Hm? Shouldnt you know my name? Its Ryoma Hoshi. Age 16. (Forlorn) I used to be a tennis player, but those days are long gone.
(Despondent) DANGANGRAM, prison. It's all the same to me. Just find me guilty and get it over with already.
(Gruff) Yeah, I'm a murderer. Dont know about the others here, but I'm definitely an unforgivable murderer.

The second prisoner is the intimidating and fearsome Mukuro Ikusaba. While usually keeping a neutral and calm-headed nature, it would be unwise to provoke her. Likely among one of the stronger of the prisoners in DANGANGRAM, she isn't afraid to show that strength if need be.

(Flat, uninterested) Mukuro Ikusaba, 17. If you know that I've killed then you know what I do. (Mildly curious) You dont? Hm. Interesting.
(Firm) Think what you want of me. I didnt ask for your opinion in the first place, so your judgment means nothing to me.
(Prying) Do you even know what you're doing? Or why you're doing this for that matter?

A timid and meek young man, Shuichi is a surprising addition to the collection of murderers. It just goes to show what the margins DANGANGRAM considers a "murder" to be. Regardless, this shy detective is quite intelligent, and perhaps just a tad submissive??

(Nervous) U-um, I'm Shuichi Saihara. I-I'm 16. What...what is this place? Why are we here?
(Skeptical) Viewing our sins...through s-song...? I dont think that's... (Anxious) A-ah! I'm sorry! Th-that just sounds a b-bit unbelievable!
(Frantic) I-I havent killed anyone! I havent, I-! ...W-wait... (Horrified) Un...u-unless...

A large, hulking woman, Sakura claims to be the "strongest person alive", and we have no reason not to believe her. It's not so out of the question someone like her could be a killer, right? Although she is very kind and caring, seeming protective of those around her, especially those that are unable to protect themselves.

(Calm but firm) I am Sakura Ogami, and I am 17 years of age. I must ask that you release us all at once.
(Steadfast, stern) You are mistaken. I have never taken a life. I would never take a life. You are wrong.
(Mildly embarrassed) I do apologize. I am not the most elegant of singers. I do hope that does not interfere with your work.

Mondo is the leader of his biker gang, and his attitude proves it. While surprisingly polite towards women, his anger issues cause him to get in rather constant fights. He is loud and vulgar, par for the course for a murderer. Though, uh...don't let him hear you call him that.

(Combative) You've got a lot of nerve askin' me my name after kidnapping me! I'm fuckin' Mondo Owada! You want my age, too?! Fuck off!
(Furious, defensive) A murderer?! Say that again, I fuckin' dare you! I'll turn ya to scraps, you bucket of bolts!
(Remorseful) I was a stupid kid. I fucked up. (Sharp) There, is that what you wanna hear?!

A friendly but take charge type of girl, Mahiru is very strict when it comes to her standards of men. She believes in traditional values; that the men should look after the women. This doesn't mean she's a slacker though. She's quite proactive in sticking up for the oppressed, especially if that's another girl. Now why would a girl's girl like her be a murderer?

(Forceful) You realize how wrong this is, right?! This is extremely illegal! My name and age? (Reluctant) Ugh, fine. I'm Mahiru Koizumi. I'm 18 years old. Now will you just listen to me?!
(Annoyed, exasperated) If you dont even know what we did then why are we here? This whole system seems pretty dumb if you ask me.
(Firm but mildly fond) You wouldnt get it. If you care about someone enough youd do the same thing.

On first glance, Nagito is simply your normal kind, albeit self deprecating young man. What he lacks in self love he makes up in enthusiasm for others. But compared to all of the other prisoners, Nagito doesn't seem to have a problem with being in DANGANGRAM. In fact, he seems to see it as a...good thing? What a strange guy.

(Calm, friendly) My name is Nagito Komaeda, and I am 18 years old. It's nice to meet you...I think?
(Wistful) You see, I'm lucky! But with that luck, misfortune follows. It's the curse of being me.
(Cheerful) I think this program is great! What better way to judge someone's sins then by viewing their heart?!

Maki is a very cold, blunt young woman. She doesn't appear to like company very much, and she doesn't hold back her sharp remarks. Strangely, though, she has an aura about her little kids seem to love. Very strange, given her occupation.

(Annoyed) Do you wanna die? Then let me go. My name? *scoff* This organization is a poor one if you dont even know that.
(Threatening) You're lucky to have that protection. Without it, you would already be dead.
(Confident) I did what I had to. I have no regrets.

This prisoner is a real pompous jerk. Even here in DANGANGRAM he thinks he's better than everyone, carrying himself at a higher stature and looking down on everyone. He has a large vocabulary and a sharp mind, which unfortunately he pairs with a similarly sharp tongue.

(Arragont, annoyed) You must be braindead to not recognize me. I am Byakuya Togami, the heir to the Togami Conglomerate. You will pay for so much as touching me, you ingrate.
(Smug, amused) Murder? Hah! Absolutely not. It is no fault of mine what happens to the unworthy.
(Disgusted) They sent a robot to judge human morality? Hmph. Now I'm certain this place is a sham.

Peko is fairly calm, all things considered, though she does seem antsy to leave the prison. Though slightly awkward, she is more friendly then she would seem at first glance, though she is ready to attack anyone she needs to at any moment.

(Monotone) I am Peko Pekoyama, age 18. (Firm) Now that I have done as you wished, I demand you return me to my Young Master.
(Matter-of-fact) Of course I have killed. If it is what my Young Master wishes, then I will make it so. It is what a tool is made for.
(Nonchalant) I do not care how you view my actions. I know I have done no wrong, as a tool simply does as instructed.
