1 WEEK LEFT!
We are now on the final week of auditions! Make sure to get them in!
Description:
Danganronpa: Callback is a fan-made Youtube series based on the original series Danganronpa. Just like its source material, in Danganronpa: Callback, sixteen students with special talents are kidnapped and taken to an inescapable school, or so it seems. Here, they are forced to play a killing game where they can kill to escape. However, it has a catch. The students will undergo investigations and trials to find out "whodunnit" and catch the blackened behind the murder. If they get the culprit correct, the culprit will be executed. If they do not get the culprit correct, everybody besides the blackened will be executed.
Due to this project's nature as a fan project, all voice work will be unpaid.
What to Expect:Voice actors are expected to have Discord for easy communication with the director and more information on their work and the project. They are also expected to know fluent English and be able to pronounce Japanese names (it is okay to not have it perfect, you will be taught during voicing process). It is most recommended that you are able to regularly deliver lines throughout the entire duration of the project (which could take years). Voice actors should also have either very minimal or no background noise at all in their lines. Along with this, all roles will require a large range of emotion, from sobbing, to yelling, to possibly even screaming. Please note of this before you audition.
(Side note: I am judging based on range and ability to fit the vision I have for the character. Remember, just because you weren't casted, does not mean you are a bad voice actor.)
Workload:During the daily life segment, the characters will have small words or phrases spoken aloud during certain lines. In a more emotional scene, it will be fully voice acted. The trials are also fully voice acted, which could mean you will have to record hundreds of lines, big and small. Please be aware of this before auditioning for this project.
Content:Due to the nature of this project, there is many sensitive and triggering content. You can find a list of trigger warnings here.

Please note that it is free to update at any time, and that anything not listed but is in the original Danganronpa should be taken into account.
We are now on the final week of auditions! Make sure to get them in!
Hello everyone! I would first like to congratulate the overwhelming support as we have hit over 200 submissions! Thank you so much!
This update is to serve as a reminder that there are TWO weeks left to send in auditions, so remember to get them in!
Personality/Description: A enthusiastic, and curious guy. He loves to talk about his school and goals for the future. However, he is not like this very often. Truthfully, he is cold, bitter, and somewhat rude. He's still enthusiastic, but he most likely won't have the energy to feel so as often as he would. He's often tired. He's also quite unlucky, often getting in accidents, mistakes, and mishaps. This is why he can be somewhat avoidant to becoming friends with others, and definitely won't try and make an effort to get to know people.
Voice Notes: Medium male voice. Depending on his mood, he either has a somewhat upbeat tone, or a serious, arrogant tone.
(Excited) My name is Yuki Otoko, and I am the Ultimate Lucky Student!
(Serious, stern) Despite our talents, they cannot be the sole thing to hold us up against our captors. All we can do is try and survive.
(Confident) This is the answer...! There's no doubt about it!
Personality/Description: A hopeful, optimistic girl who firmly believes in the good of everyone. She is quite driven by emotion, utilizing what she knows about her friends and their feelings to fuel her mindset. She always feels like she needs to take care of tasks and it hurts her to even get near someone's bad side.
Voice Notes: Medium-high female voice. Enthusiastic and bright tone in voice.
(Friendly, welcoming) I'm Masei Suiden, the Ultimate Maid. I only wish to help--no matter who it is.
(Tearing, sad) I'm sorry...I really didn't mean to.
(Serious, encouraging) Together, we will escape this killing game. No matter what it takes!
Personality/Description: Socially awkward, yet serious and collected. He's usually laid-back and happy to spend time with his friends, but he also can get quite menacing and serious. He might seem intimidating at first, but you'll quickly realize he's just a man living life as it goes. Unfortunately, due to his past, he seems quite adamant on doing the "right thing" and saving people. Despite his struggles, he vows to further move forward from it.
Voice Notes: Low-medium male voice. Formal and calm tone when talking regularly. Quite emotional.
(Serious, but also welcoming) I am Kizuru Kiyomiya, the Ultimate Martial Artist. Under my oath, I swear to protect you.
(Anger, unwavering) I’m going to crush this damned thing. I’m not going to abide by your rules.
(Flustered, awkward) My...apologies. I thought you might've been...a bit happier doing an activity.
A black voice actor is most recommended for this role.
Personality/Description: A laidback, tired, but passionate person. He loves those he holds close very deeply, and will put them above everything. He's also quite chill and nonchalant, caring mostly only about those dear to him and his art. For some reason, he's a bit of a sleepyhead. "Terminal sleepiness," as he describes it. Nobody can explain it, since he gets plenty of sleep every day.
Voice Notes: Chill and calm. Slight smoothness in his voice when talking. When emotional, his voice gets a bit higher.
(Calm) Since you’re probably wondering, my name is Ria Yoshihara. I’m the Ultimate Artist. If you’re ever in need of artistic knowledge, I’m your best shot.
(Excited, quick) It’s necessary I know more. Tell me everything you saw, heard, experienced, felt, tasted, maybe even acted upon.
(Irritated, serious) What the fuck, man? If you keep doing that, you're going to get us in serious danger.
Personality/Description: Shigetoshi mostly focuses on his writing. He may act like he's sick of everyone and everything, and sometimes he really is, but he has a soft spot he likes to hide. He's more rational, thinking clearly about everything before speaking (majority of the time). Occasionally, he may come off as a bit pretentious and act like he has everything under control and all together. Easily flustered, as well, making him an easy subject for teasing.
Voice Notes: Smooth. Sometimes snarky and pretentious. Otherwise, quite stern.
(Explaining, slightly angry) For clarification…my actual name is Shigetoshi Takasugi—and it is SHIGEtoshi to you. Don’t forget it. I’m the Ultimate Writer.
(Infuriated, but also concerned) How would you know if we can eat them? For all we know, those could be poisoned. Don’t be a fucking moron.
(Worried, nervous) A-Are you alright!? H-Here, hold onto my hand!
Due to certain suggestive things said in this character's script, this role only allows 18+ talent. However, nothing will ever be fully explicit.
Personality/Description: A goofy, silly guy who loves to tease people, especially those he likes! He may seem all play, but he truly cares for his friends deep inside, and always wants to make sure they are alright. He's pretty immature and tries to sneak in a dirty joke every so often, often annoying others.
Voice Notes: Boyish sounding. Giggly, lighthearted, and joyful.
(Cheerful) We’re kidnap mates! Might as well get close together, eh?
(Dramatic, purposefully trying to make his voice a bit deeper) I am the one and only Ultimate Aerialist. I am always gliding through the sky to provide the best performance to you!
(Concerned) Man, are you seriously gonna get yourself killed just for this? Your life should be prioritized. Dying isn’t really cool.
Personality/Description: An enigmatic, and somewhat solemn man. He never stops making theories and loves to collect and observe evidence and the things around him. Unfortunately, he's also very pessimistic. He barely, if ever, trusts people, and makes his morals quite known. He is an intriguing character, and nobody can understand him, or his mentality.
Voice Notes: Medium male voice, but on the lower spectrum. Often talks with slight curiosity, or speaks in a cautious way.
(Assessing) Ultimates are reputable, distinguished, and above everybody else. They have the entire world cooped up in their hands, all because of their role.
(Curious, deep in thought) Take it with a pinch of salt, though. It’s a take based on…simply just my observations and perspective on my surroundings.
(Realization, unserious) Heh…and this was the same guy berating me about my talent…
Personality/Description: A very curious, and somewhat mysterious man. Kuriga loves to search every nook and cranny of what he can, investigating and piecing puzzles together. While on the surface he may seem like a boring guy, once he is more comfortable with you, he's much more relaxed and silly, as people could describe. However, Kuriga always prioritizes logic. Even in the most difficult of situations, his mind will persistently lead his judgement.
Voice Notes: Medium male or androgynous voice. A bit of a slower and a pretty sleepy tone in his voice, but not overdone. Somewhat articulate with his speech.
(Angry, berating) You idiot! W-what's wrong with you!?
(Surprised, admonishing) You do know science teachers are considered scientists too…right? That's why they're science teachers?
(Asleep) Zzz…zzz….mimimimi…
Personality/Description: An eager man. He's a notetaker, taking note of just about everything he finds interesting. And he finds EVERYTHING interesting. It's quite rare to not see Kiyonari scribbling away in his notebook. He's confident and outspoken about the things that intrigue him, and he's always questioning things, pointless or not. He tries to find enjoyment in things, no matter what they are. However, without someone he confides in around, he becomes a more shy person who's constantly anxious.
Voice Notes: Medium to medium high male voice. Exude a bit of enthusiasm when speaking normally.
(Passionate) Why, of course! It would be villainous if I were to lose memory of all this important info!
(Thinking) Well, considering this killer's seemingly brutal ideas, I wouldn't say it's exactly out of line for him.
(Anxious, transition to blunt) I-I'm very sorry...I didn't expect anybody here and...well, can you please just go away right now?
Personality/Description: She’s pretty harsh. She is very easily agitated and isn’t afraid to hold back or speak her mind. She may even be a little reluctant to those around her. However, if she finds interest in you, she'll cooperate, joke, and even laugh around you. You can even find that she's easily flustered! Those who get to her soft spot are the only people she trusts. However, it's possible you may leave that spot and never return...or as the rumor goes.
Voice Notes: Medium female voice. Speaks with a slight vocal fry at the end of sentences if she is calm, and has a bit of rasp. When angry, it all flies out the window.
(Calm, transition to annoyed) However, like she said, it’s a personal matter. In clearer terms, nobody’s goddamn business.
(Questioning, a little annoyed) Wasn’t doubting that, dipshit. I mean, where on your head were you hit?
(Yelling, seriously angry) Just shut up! You’re so fucking annoying!
Personality/Description: A courageous, strong and comforting girl. She loves to just exist in the world around her and embrace whatever comes at her. She always seeks for new friends and people she can talk to, wanting to spread more awareness and news about the environment and her garden. However, this typically leads into long rambles and rants. Despite her optimism, she's not afraid to distrust others and set boundaries. Matsusa is a girl you can always confide in.
Voice Notes: Medium-high female voice. Refined and pretty.
(Relaxed, a bit sing-songy near the end) From animals to plants to even the air and the foundation this world is built upon–there’s so much you can learn and appreciate.
(Embarrassed) Ah, I’m about to go on another rant, aren’t I…? My apologies, I can't help it!
(Distressed, sorry-sounding) I know...there are a lot of things on my mind right now…but I really am focusing on the wrong problems…
Personality/Description: A clumsy, anxious, but innocent and sweet girl. Despite her idiocy, she is sure to bring smiles to everyone's faces and fill up the room with her joy. Even though she may come off as annoying, her company changes every place she goes, for better...or for worse. She is always sure to support you and think for not only herself--but you and everyone you know. Momoka attempts to make everyone around feel not alone and happy.
Voice Notes: High female voice. Feel excited in just about everything!
(Surprised) But isnt' making friends with your classmates important as well?!
(Joyful) Yep! No buts ifs or ands or however the phrase goes about it, 'cuz I can't remember!
(Theatrical) Especially because I am ze Ultimate Clairvoyant, ready to tell you your destiny or your fate!
Personality/Description: She's more reserved and talks much less than you'd probably be used to. However, as she opens up more, you realize she's a more interesting character than she appears. She is quite eloquent as the Ultimate Poet, and she's often drowned in her thoughts. She doesn't smile often, or show any emotion for that matter. You'd have to really impact her to make her feel something--especially anything strong. Often, she appears to be more serious, disliking recreation and amusement.
Voice Notes:Medium female voice. Soft tone. Bluntness to her sentences.
(Sarcastic, but doesn't really sound like it) Did you hear that? The Five W’s. Typically, people learn that in 1st grade.
(Slight anger) And I do not consent to your tomfoolery. Unlike you, I have important things to do.
(Explaining, cunning) No matter how smart, or how best you score on some tests, you will never be on the same level as any of us.
Personality/Description: Koina is someone who will definitely make an impression on you. She is often cool, calm, and collected, seeming to be organized and always putting her thoughts in order. She is brave, strong, and pretty at that, too. Her sheer presence is enough to make heads turn. Even with all of these details considered, she is casual, and loves to get along. She's consistently on top of things--always thinking for others and thinking ahead. Being logical, nice, and mature, she is someone everyone wishes and aspires to be. Even then, there may be more sensitive feelings she seems to hide.
Voice Notes: Medium female voice. Mature and somewhat motherly.
If you'd like, you may add any excerpt of singing to the end/as a submission! However, it is not necessary for this role and is purely optional.
(Theatrical) Your starry sky, your radiant sunlight, I am Koina Umino, the Ultimate Actress!
(Confused) Am I like…your idol or something? Sorry, I’m not sure how to react, actually…
(Blunt, progress to mistaken) No. I gave you enough chances. …If you fall, that’s on you and your fault alone. Wait--that sounded pretty rude...
Personality/Description: Syuku is kind, yet quite peculiar. She partakes in crime as the Ultimate Gambler, yet she never seems outwardly spoken about her gambling. She's fun to be around and always trying to help, and she attempts to be levelheaded and mature for the best of the group. Even then, she is still young at heart, and won't always act so posh, which only makes you wonder why she does that...
Voice Notes: Medium[high female voice. Sound somewhat regal and posh. When emotional, she loses her poised manner.
(Interested, curious) Perhaps, talking about something you’re interested in will assist in your endeavors?
(Stressed, sad) So where was he when we all were attacked and kidnapped?!
(Observant) To me, it seems like you two are conspiring to make someone murder.
Personality/Description: She's often annoyed and very restless, due to her tight deadlines and stress. It's very easy to push a wrong button and piss her off, so it's best if you keep away from her. However, it's not impossible to keep close to her. Who knows? Maybe with enough pestering, she'll finally cave in. Maybe it's only up to fate with who she likes. Despite this, she's not avoidant to doing activities or talking if it benefits you both. Eventually, it's even possible she could trust you...or not. You'll just have to see.
Voice Notes: Medium female voice. Hoarse tone, and speak with a bit of tiredness.
(Slightly angry) To be honest, I’m particularly concerned right now. I have several tight deadlines to meet...
(Furious) How many times do I have to tell you this, you insolent bitch!?
(Annoyed) Skimming over passages in a place where we’re all cooped up like sitting ducks isn’t exactly the best move.
Personality/Description: Despite being the mascot of the killing game, Monotori acts very different than one may expect. She's pretty shy, often being avoidant towards being cruel or complicit in the killing game. She often acts on the words of her "master" instead to run the killing game. Despite this, it's hard to trust her. She still enforces the rules pretty harshly and can sometimes make the circumstances of the game worse. No matter what, it's in your best interest to act on your best behavior in regards tot he killing game.
Voice Notes: High feminine voice. Slightly nasally, and speaks sort of soft a lot of the time.
(Soft, dejected) Can you all be q-quiet…? I didn’t expect you guys to be so rude.
(Yelling, angry) LET ME GO! I HAVEN'T EVEN DONE ANYTHING!
(Sad, almost as if crying) I-I'm sorry...it...it's just the rules. I-I apologize.
