Danganronpa: Spirits of Hope
Project Overview
Hello everyone! My name is Realcolors and I'm currently writing a Danganronpa Fan fiction called "Danganronpa: Sprits of Hope". I haven't written anything like this in a long time, in fact this is the first time that I've wanted to complete a story that I'm writing for fun. I'm definitely not the best writer which is why this is purely for fun. I was showing it to my friends and they think that my writing is pretty good. Then, I got the idea to have my class trials be fully voice acted so, I am now here. Now, I currently have only written up to the investigation of chapter 1 in my story. So, at the moment I'm still currently writing the story. However, these class trials will most likely go up on my yotube channel after the story is finished. (and of course a link to said story) I have some requirements that I suggest you read heavily before you audition.
1. A Discord account is required to audition.
Discord is probably the best way to get a hold of me and for me to get the audio files for the story. I'll need to add you as a friend after you are selected. There will also be a server for all the voice actors to just hang out and get updates on the story.
2. You must have a decent sounding mic.
You don't need to have the best of the best quality in your audition. However, it will impact my decisions on who to actually cast. If your mic sounds horrible though, I'm sorry but you most likely won't be chosen. I can be very lenient on this requirement though.
3. You'll only be casted for one character.
You are welcomed to cast for as many characters as you want. However, I'd like to have a different voice for each character so, unless we have a lack of auditions you will most likely only get casted for one character. The chances of you getting casted though surely increase with the amount of auditions you do.
4. Availability is needed!
I understand that we all have our own lives, I get very busy too. I don't expect you to be alerted 24/7 for this story (but if you are I'm very flattered you care that much). However, if you feel like over the course of this project you will be busy for a very long period of time, please consider not auditioning. This story is taking a lot of time so it could possibly take up to 6 to 9 months until we see a completion.
5. Be serious, but also have fun!
Any auditions that are jokes and or trolls will be instantly rejected. This is common sense, so please take this seriously. However, have fun with the audition as well! I'd love to see people that are passionately into voice acting and enjoy their time audition as well.
That is pretty much all the requirements for the auditions. I do have one more thing to say though, once you are casted I will private message you. This will let you know 100% that you've been casted. I'll will just ask for your discord ID but if there is no reply in about a week the spot will reopen. Anyway, if you have any questions about the project please message me. This is my first time I've done anything like this, so it would be great to hear really anything from you guys.
Also here is a link to the prologue of my story so you can get a feel of what I'm writing.

I have decided to hold an official deadline date for this casting call. After pushing it back for so long I think it's time to finally start closing up shop. All auditions for the remaining roles will be chosen either March 31st or soon after. So if you audition for a role now, I will not look at it until the deadline so make sure to check back with me if you want to know if you got casted! Good luck everyone!

Update 2/23/19
I haven't forgotten about this project. It's been a rough three months for me so I've been very busy. Progress on the actual story has been slow but I'm nearly done with the first class trial! As for the auditions I'll be going through them real soon to see what characters I have left that need filled in. I might make the final deadline for the middle of next month for auditions! If I don't have all that I need by that time, I might start another casting call. Thank you so much for reading this and being patient with me! -
End of Month Update
Hey! So I have been super busy with school recently, I am still writing the first class trial, but I'm nearing the end. At the moment I'm still looking for the right voices and actually having trouble casting some characters. I'm really hoping that we can have all voice actors by the end of February. I'm going to commit to this so, hopefully stuff can happen. Anyway, hope you have a good day or night or whatever time it is for you! -
January 11th Update
It's been awhile since I've posted an update so here is one right now! I've been extremely busy since the holidays and my schedule has finally started to open up a bit! I'm hoping to have a full cast by the end of the month so tell your friends about this project! I have been working hard at writing the first class trial as well! In a little bit however I will probably be going through some of the auditions. So, I wish all of you guys best of luck! By the way, many of you are fantastic voice actors! Keep it up! Also, sorry if this is getting long but, I'm thinking about casting for an artist as well. They would need to be able to make a few sprites that have that Danganronpa style for each character as well! Of course I wouldn't be able to pay them so I can understand if it isn't the first thing on someone's priority. Anyway, thanks for reading and good luck auditioning! -
Casting Starts Soon!
Hey so I don't mean to spam this project with updates, but I'm going through some of the auditions. There's many great auditions that I might start casting some of the roles as earliest as tomorrow afternoon! I also forgot to mention that if you need a place to contact me besides Casting Call Club, twitter DMs would be easiest. https://twitter.com/Real_Colours I look forward to start casting some roles! Good luck everyone!
Sada Eiko is the Ultimate Medium. She is your typical main Danganronpa main character. She believes there is good in everything and everyone, and tries her best to make everyone happy. She has faith in her friends, but doubts her abilities as a medium as she's never been completely successful on contacting the dead.
Her inspiration is Kaede from Danganronpa V3 and Maya from Phoenix Wright.
(Friendly) My name’s Sada Eiko, I'm the Ultimate Medium.
(Concerned) I don’t think that’s a good idea...that Monokuma may get a little upset.
(Confident) So what! Nobody is going to kill anyone! I’m sure of it!
Misaki Yoshihisa is the Ultimate Level Designer. He is very playful when it comes to his friends, so he isn't taken very seriously. However, when the time comes he can be very serious. He is also a bit of a video game nerd. Being the Ultimate Level Designer, he's been the lead designer for many world famous video games. He is currently working on detective games.
There isn't much of an inspiration for Misaki, he's probably the most original of my characters.
(Playful) Geeze, how long are you gonna be staring at that book of yours?
(Sarcastic) The fact that you can remember a character from one of the best game franchises on this planet is all I ever need.
(Angry) What the hell are you doing?!? Get your hands off her!
Monokuma doesn't need much explanation. The antagonist of the Danganronpa series loves seeing the death and despair of the students that go through his twisted games. He provides the motives that are needed to push the students to kill each other.
I don't need a perfect imitation of his voice from the actual series, in fact, it could sound completely different from his in game voice.
(Disappointed) Aww what’s with the look on all of your faces? Did the mention of death really put you off...tough crowd I guess.
(Excited) Punishment means...execution! The most gory execution I can think of, just for you!
(Happy) Emergency! Emergency! A body has been discovered! Everyone, please report to the Music Room! You better hurry, your first one is always exciting!
Miki Masao is known as the Ultimate Cheerleader. He is a very energetic person and often loves to cheer people up. He was known as the best cheerleader back home and while some bullied him for his choices in life, he pushes himself to do his best. He is actually into a lot of sports and seems to never be out of his cheering persona.
The inspiration for Miki is actually Ibuki from Danganronpa 2. I'm also looking for a somewhat flamboyant voice for him.
(Cheerful) Oh my gosh! I'm sorry I didn't introduce myself! My name is Miki Masao! I'm the Ultimate Cheerleader! Goooooo team!!!
(Comforting) No it's completely fine! I have no idea what's really going on here too, but if we just all work together as a team I'm sure we can figure this out! Just remember to never give up and always believe in yourself!
(Worried) Please! This is very unsportsmanlike, we could get a penalty!
Yasumi Natsu is the Ultimate Barista. He is known for having the best service in his hometown and even the best coffee on Earth.. Whenever, he's not working he can be very timid around others. He is ready to serve you anytime.
Yasumi's inspiration is Kirumi from Danganronpa V3 and Chihiro from Danganronpa. When auditioning for him I'd suggest using a calm and gentle voice.
(Apologetic) Oh I almost forgot I should introduce myself. My name is Yasumi Natsu and I am the Ultimate Barista. It is a pleasure to meet your acquaintance.
(Embarrassed) Yeah, well like I said...I am a completely different person when I am actually working. They call me the Ultimate Barista for a reason, I have been told that my coffee and my service is the best on Earth. So, if you ever need a nice cup of coffee and someone to talk to in the mornings then I am welcome to serve.
(Shocked) How can you be so rude?!?
Nakatomi is the Ultimate Surfer. Living by the water for most of her life, she developed an attachment to it. She started surfing from a very young age and has competed around the world for her skills as a surfer. She's won many competitions.
The inspiration for Nakatomi is like Yasuhiro from Daganronpa but with a more laid back personality. When auditioning make sure to have a laid back tone for most things she says.
(Calm) No need to ask! I already know what you’re gonna say! The name’s Nakatomi Mizuko and I’m the Ultimate Surfer! Let me tell you already, being cramped in this classroom sure isn’t helping my style. Oh what I’d kill to get back to the water!
(Calm) I guess I’ll go. To be honest, I’ve been sleeping a *lot* recently. I could use some exercise!
(Shocked) Dude...for real...I thought that dumb bear was joking about this stupid killing game.
Luke Newell is the Ultimate Lucky Student, or better known us the Ultimate Unlucky Student. He is an American foreign exchange student that has had bad luck all throughout his life. In elementary school he laughed with all the other kids about his bad luck. However, as the years went on the laughter turned into bullying. The only lucky thing that happened to him in his life was that he was accepted into Hope's Peak Academy.
Luke's inspiration is Nagito from Danganronpa 2. He isn't as crazy and condescending as Nagito, but he is very depressed. When auditioning try to have a gloomy depressing tone throughout.
(Embarrassed) My name is Luke Newell, I’m an exchange student from America, and my ultimate ability is the Ultimate Lucky Student or you could call me the Ultimate Unlucky Student. Since mostly bad things happen to me.
(Concerned) Are you sure you want to do that? Especially with someone like me?
(Depressed) Yeah...just while people keep an eye on her...why don’t you investigate for her sake?
Hatsu is the Ultimate Ninja. Her family has a history of being the best ninjas in the country. Nobody had even knew the Tamafune family existed until Hatsu's parents made their private dojo a tourist attraction. Now Hatsu was accepted into Hope's Peak with her talent as the Ultimate Ninja.
Hatsu is inspired by Peko from Danganronpa 2. She is very mysterious, in fact she only wears her completely black ninja suit. When auditioning try to sound as calm and mysterious as possible. If you can maybe even give your best impression of Peko's voice.
(Calm) I am Hatsu Tamafune and I am the Ultimate Ninja. Nice to make your acquaintance.
(Calm) I’ll go too. In case this is real, I’ll be your protection.
(Calm) I did not do anything bad, I was not even aware of the body before this morning.
Coda Goro is the Ultimate Hacker. He is known for hacking into the most top secure government archives. He can be very hot-headed at times give that he is very short. However, he still acts very childish. Whenever something remotely threaten happens to him he will easily get scared and start crying.
The inspiration for Coda would be Fuyuhiko from Danganronpa 2 and Kokichi from Danganronpa V3. When auditioning make sure to have an annoyed and angry tone. He is very aggressive toward everyone until someone actually hurts him.
(Crying) Fine! *sniff* I guess I’ll introduce myself...it’s Coda Goro...the Ultimate Hacker *sniff*
(Confused) Who the fuck are you? I don’t need another person fucking following me around.
(Scared) T-This can’t be h-happening! *Sniff* I DON’T WANNA DIE!!!!
Ichihara is the Ultimate Bird Keeper. Ever since he was young he's always had a love for animals. Specifically birds are his favorite animal. He has learned how to tame birds and was recognized by Hope's Peak as the Ultimate Bird Keeper. Ichihara has a very kind soul (He's also SUPER ripped).
Ichihara's inspiration is the energy of Nekomaru from Danganronpa 2, and the gentle nature of Gonta from Danganronpa V3. When auditioning for him I would like to have that sort of same strong man tone that Nekomaru has. Ichihara is our "body builder" of the story.
(Friendly) Of course, well I do have a lot more at home, but this little guy follows me around everywhere still. I call him Taka, he’s pretty much my favorite but don’t tell the others that! Haha!
(Energetic) Oh I should probably get through all of that stuff shouldn’t I? It’s because I’m the Ultimate Bird Keeper. The name’s Ichihara Hayato, nice to meet you!
(Nervous) T-This whole murder thing! Why did I have to come here, I knew there was something fishy about all this!
Oshiro is the Ultimate Seamstress. She is known for being able to sew anything back together with perfection. With this talent she has started her own clothing line made from clothes that have been tattered. She even wears her own clothing 24/7 because she loves it so much. She doesn't make male clothing though as she feels they already get enough in life.
Oshiro's inspiration would be Mahiru from Danganronpa 2 and a little bit of Miu from Danganronpa V3. When auditioning for her try to sound like the cocky and snobby nature of Miu, while also having that blunt feeling from Mahiru.
(Friendly) My name is Oshiro Kane and I’m the Ultimate Seamstress. Not only do I sew the most fashionable of clothes together but I also make the best blankets you can buy...maybe I’ll even give you one for free!
(Disgusted) It’s different from being a model, a boy like you would never understand.
(Angry) You’re gonna rip my damn clothes you idiot!
Hiro is the Ultimate Journalist. After getting a job at a very famous Japanese newspaper company, his articles made him world famous. One of his most famous articles was a detailed report on the Genocide Jack cases. Hope's Peak recognized his achievements and invited him to become a student. He quit his job at the company and went immediately.
Hiro is inspired by Kiyotaka from Danganronpa. When auditioning try to have that same energetic tone that Taka usually has. Also make him sound like he is interested in anything and everything, he is a journalist after all.
(Calm) And I’m Hiro Shojiro...I used to be working with a newspaper company but then I left once I got accepted here. I’m what they call the Ultimate Journalist. I’ll be looking forward to learning every little thing about everyone!
(Confused) What are you talking about and explain in grave detail!?
(Intrigued) So you made that coffee! I must know, what did you put in it? This is the best coffee...more like the best drink I’ve ever had!
Tamon is the Ultimate Camp Counselor. He's always loved the wilderness ever since he was young. While he has many fears he constantly has to face them or else he won't get anything done. At his summer camp he is known as the best Camp Counselor for his leadership skills. Many kids look up to him because he faces his fears everyday.
Tamon is inspired by Kaito from Danganronpa V3. Instead of being overly confident like Kaito is, Tamon has mood swings of his confidence. He can be super confident one minute and extremely afraid the next. When auditioning try to have that Kaito tone and feel, Tamon is the classic "bro character" of this story.
(Friendly) And I’m Tamon Sessue the Ultimate Camp Counselor! This isn’t exactly my true element but I’m practically a natural born leader!
(Nervous) DON’T SAY THAT! Look I’m sure th-that everything is fine! We will all be to our classes in no time.
(Confident) Let's not watch the motive videos! If we don't know what our motives are, then nobody will kill anyone!
Aoyama is the Ultimate Violinist. She is a world renowned violinist that has played in many countries. Many rich people have hired her for weddings or special events which has caused her to become very rich. She has a very calming personality and is never nervous playing in front of anyone.
Aoyama is inspired by the more reasonable and calming side that is Celeste from Danganronpa. When auditioning make sure to keep that calming tone throughout, however unlike Celeste she does show emotion. For example, if it says she's frightened give a more frightened tone to her calm voice.
(Calm) Anyway, my name is Aoyama Akoto, I’m the Ultimate Violinist, name anything and I could play it for you.
(Skeptical) Hmm...okay then, next time it is. I do have to say though, maybe be a little less suspicious when you talk to people. Who knows, maybe you two are the head of this operation?
(Frightened) We don’t have time for this! How can I convince you that I’ve seen a dead body!
Suzuki is the Ultimate Match Maker. She is known make home as an actual cupid. To this day many couples that she has set up are still together and some are in the process of getting married. She is actually very shy and apologetic toward her mistakes. She isn't known as the smartest girl but she is incredibly hardworking.
Suzuki's inspiration is a less sexaulized Mikan from Danganronpa 2. She can be pretty dumb at times, but I wanted to write a more likable MIkan (at least in my opinion). When auditioning make sure to have a very shy and quiet tone like Mikan has. Even do your best Mikan impression if you have to!
(Friendly) My name is Suzuki Ito by the way! I'm the Ultimate Matchmaker. I usually have a 90% accuracy when it comes to successful couples. You could practically say that I'm cupid!
(Scared) N-No, there’s no way this is happening!
(Depressed) W-Well nobody else will let me work with them to solve this case...I didn't know where to go so I thought I would just come back here.
Iris is the Ultimate Lawyer. She always wanted to be an attorney when she was younger, so she determined herself to be the best lawyer on Earth. She's been all across the world and never talks about where she's actually from. She took up many jobs while she lived in Europe for many years. Since she's lived there for so long she has developed a little bit of an accent. She is very self centered and egotistical.
Iris is inspired by Byakuya from Danganronpa and Franziska von Karma from Phoenix Wright: Justice for All. When auditioning you don't need to have a French accent, however I would highly suggest having a European accent of some kind to have better chances of getting the role. Make sure to also sound condescending.
(Annoyed) Let’s get this over with so we can just move on to the next boring event. I’m Iris Graves, but you could just call me the most amazing human being you have ever seen on this Earth. You should already know my expertise.
(Disgust) *sigh* I don’t need your judgement, that is what the the courtroom is for...oh what I’d give to be in court right now.
(Unconcerned) Okay idiots, what did you do- Oh...so someone actually killed another? And to think you thought your little party would work! Hahahaha
I just need someone who will be able to draw sprites for all of my characters (except Monokuma). They would need to be in that same Danganronpa style and I would need at the very most three to four sprites each. I understand this isn't paid so if nobody would want to design characters for me that's fine, I'll figure something else out. I understand as well that three to four sprites per character is a lot and would take a bunch of time so I will try not to rush the process. However, just show me your best Danganronpa art (doesnt matter if they are a actual character or an OC) and I'll cast from there! Good luck!
(If you need reference on sprites I'd suggest looking at this sprite gallery of the original Danganronpa cast http://danganronpa.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Sprite_Galleries )

I just need someone to make still shots of all the deaths that will happen during the story! Just like the Danganronpa games a majority of the characters you see before you will end up dead. In fact one of them has already been killed! So, I would just need one shot of the executions and deaths for each character. Just audition with a drawing of the first death that I will describe here or a death that you may have drawn before (you are welcomed to take creative liberties mostly because my character descriptions are garbage).
Mase Hisa's Death Description: A Japanese highschool girl with black hair, that runs to the tip of her shoulders, is found in a cello case on a chair, in the middle of the music room. Her purple eyes have a cold vacant stare, while her mouth is opened in an eternal state of panic. She is wearing a black suit jacket that has faint white vertical lines on it, with a button up white shirt underneath that is paired with the black pantsuit she has on. An open wound can be found in the middle of her abdomen, which poured blood all over her stomach, staining her clothes and the inside of the case. (Pink blood of course).
If you are unfamiliar with the Danganronpa series then here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lo8Npl2nk5E at 0:07 that shot of the full body is all I need! Anyway good luck!
(IF YOU ARE CASTED AS THE CHARACTER DESIGNER YOU CAN AUDITION FOR THIS AS WELL!)
