DanganRonpa: Lost Despair Games Fan Radio Play

DanganRonpa: Lost Despair Games Fan Radio Play

Project Overview

Hello Casting Call Club! It is AudreyIvy again with another project in need of your fantastic voicework!


The following project is unaffiliated with Modus Operandi Productions, the group I work with on The Parable Project that finished casting a month ago, and is in fact a personal project with no intent to be professionally published or monetized. It's purely for fun and entertainment.


"Things finally seemed to be looking up for Ansho Kurikoto. For years, she'd been taking every job she could find asking for her code cracking abilities and superior intellectual mind, just to make life bearable for her and her only friend Satoshi on the streets of Shibuya. Her parents were long gone, and it was anyone's guess if they even existed anymore. It seemed unfitting for one of the best freelance hackers to be living in a gutter. Until an email of Hope arrived in her mailbox. Hope's Peak actually. Unexpectedly, Kurikoto had been invited to the notorious Hope's Peak as the best in her age at Cryptology. It was a chance for something new, a glint of Hope in her Despair-filled existence. But somehow it seems, Despair will always find a way to return..."


The Dangan Ronpa: Lost Despair Games Radio Play is a YouTube-based project I've been idly working on in my free time. It is a fan created killing game scenario with an entirely brand new cast of characters with new talents still within the World of Despair; played out in the form of a blend between a radio drama and a visual novel with character voices narrating out the entire story accompanied by sprites and supplemental visuals to compliment and accent the narrative. Some features of the DR canon will still exist such as class trials, free time, and of course, the progressive murders throughout the story, with other more directly interactive elements removed. 


That is not to say it's not interactive though. If we just told a story, all we'd be is a low budget version of the anime. In DR:LDG, points of the game where a player would get a choice will fall onto viewer's votes, allowing them to alter the narrative and choose who the protagonist befriends during their free time possibly altering the course of events, and it lies with the viewers to collectively solve the murders of Hope's Peak Academy and save the survivors from certain doom. Will Hope prevail among the masses, or will the Despairing Red Herrings prevent the truth from emerging?


This casting call is to bring on VAs for all sixteen of the survivor characters, in addition to other important roles in the story such as the narrator and antagonist character. Scripts for each episode will be provided when ready, and given the potential unexpected shifts, will only start production soon after the previous episode has aired, so recording periods are fast and loose. DR: LDG will likely not have a regular update schedule, but is aiming for monthly to bi-monthly episodes for an estimated total of 24 episodes in the entire series.


If you wish to get involved, be sure to prepare the following...


-A good, clean mic with little to no feedback or distortion

-Enough time in a month to record potentially several minutes of dialogue

-To have personal influence on your character and be asked for advice on their progression

-A Willingness to dork around, have fun, provide bloopers, and potentially record dialogue with other actors over the web.


Happy Auditioning!


Audrey

Latest Updates

  • Update on Absence/Inactivity

    Hey everyone!


    I just wanted to pop in and inform you all I'm still here and working on this. I've had a lot of crazy things happen lately including the sudden need to find a new apartment, breifly meeting Stan Lee, having to switch bank accounts, and of course, a lot of the work I put in at my main job with Modus Operandi Productions. Those of you who haven't gotten your callback stuff will receive it very soon, hopefully today! And I'll be doing another round of callbacks today for certain. So stay tuned, as I'm back and active now.


    Audrey

  • The Callbacks Begin

Shita Hebi

Role assigned to: kanen

SHSL Diplomat. A benevolent sort of peacebringer in the scheme of things and Kurikoto’s go-to helper for solving the killings. He’s a younger boy skilled in the art of negotiating with others and coercing information out of people, sometimes to the extent of getting the information to slip. Hebi is hesitant to use his abilities for the sake of trickery, but is willing for the sake of saving the group from disaster, leading to a very benevolent reputation. He is easily one of Kurikoto's primary allies in solving the murders of the killing game. Should be played by a female performing a young boy's voice.

  • "He's manipulating us! I called my mom just this morning, she's fine. We need to be checking our facts before we believe things a mad roboticists starts spouting at us."

  • "Let's collect all the alibis first. I think near all of us trust Kurikoto at this point, so let's start with her and go from there."

  • "If I were to ask though, not where you were when the murder occured, but where was the victim themself, what would you say? Presumably being murdered I'm going to guess is your answer. What if that wasn't the case though?"

Role assigned to: sword of swords

SHSL Parapsychologist. Formerly the youngest individual ever with his own ghost hunting show on television, Tsuiseki shocked the world by showing them an undoctored glimpse into the world of the occult and lingering spirits. Of course, like many parapsychologists, his show was riddled with accusations of fraud, doctored footage, and fake acting. Tsuiseki stands by however, that everything he goes through is entirely real as are ghosts, spirits, and the paranormal. He is flashy and showy much like a street magician the likes of David Blaine with the same cocky tone. Low Hushed Baritone.

  • "The spirits... Are present in this room. Calling. Shh, listen. Hear that? Your heartbeat. The spirit is in you. Communicating with your heart. What is it saying?"

  • "Out of this lavatory poltergeists! You are not welcome! You're scaring the ladies! I will get the proton pack!"

  • "No, stop, do not investigate the crime scene. You may startle the victim's spirit. My sensors are reading incredibly high levels of activity in here. We can communicate with them and have them identify the killer. Unless of course they've become restless, in which case I will happily expel them. I brought that equipment as well."

Kao Hyaku

Role assigned to: kotonata

SHSL Spy. An absolutely mysterious person cloaked in mystery. Nothing is known about them, not even their identity. They once performed covert operations for multiple countries specializing in infiltration, stealth, and covert operations of an espionage nature. Given aspects of themselves change every single day such as their height, build, and history, very little can be discerned of Hyaku’s true physical nature. Speaks through an electronic distortion device and displays emotions on an LCD-Screen on their mask, often of a cheesy nerdy nature, lending to a weird blend of serious and silly. Can be either gender so long as the voice can be made out and seems fake.

  • "Target confirmed. Sending supplies. The tiramisu is on it's way soldier."

  • "Wait... WHAAAAAAAAAT?! THAT'S NOT POSSIBLE, I MADE EVERY CALCULATION!"

  • "{Going Crazy} How do you even know I'm Kao Hyaku still? Maybe someone killed me and took my place. The true spy must make even themselves suspicious to truly blend in."

Role assigned to: sweetsdetective

SHSL Inventor. A bright girl stuck in her head a lot of the time. She is constantly fantasizing about mechanical processes and all the things she could make with the parts lying around. More than anything, Tatsumaki believes in the limitless possibilities of the world and how even broken and seemingly useless things can be remade into something new. Mezzo to Mezzo-Soprano tone. She is bright and chipper lass with a heavy Australian accent.

  • "Wudja look at all this! Ripper! It's a cornucopia'a'parts and whozits'a'each and erry kind! "

  • "... Huh? Oh mozzie, you were talking to ME? It didn't even sound remotely something I'd want to talk about, so I assumed it was fer someone else."

  • "A real grommet ain't he? It'll take a whole slab 'fore I'll be gettin' anywhere near rootin' with him."

Role assigned to: sweetsdetective

SHSL Cat Burglar. An adorable girl with an incredible cat obsession. She has gone as far wearing a cat ear headband, a fake tail, and keeping in yellow contacts in line with her obsession. Her actual talent is not cats but in fact Seamstress work, making costume and plush toys of all kinds, with an absolute skill with the needle. Her fingers can move impressively fast and delicately, to the level of a fine jeweler. She is more than happy to joyfully produce toys and things for her friends while cheerfully saying Nya~. Of course, that's ALSO not her true talent, as Ryuko’s true identity is that of the Night Claw, a rampant Cat Burglar notorious for numerous crime sprees and millions of dollars in stolen artifacts. The true answer is sometimes right under your nose. Should be capable of both an adorable cat-like voice, and a deeper cynical tone. Soprano-Alto blend.

  • "Nyan! Loop it through the eye and that's all there is to it Tatsumaki! A purrfectly friendly animal companion for your workshop like Satoshi!"

  • "I don't know about this you guys, are you sure Monokami didn't kill them and is trying to turn us against each other? If I was an evil mastermind, that's what I'd do."

  • "{Sultry, Alto, Conniving Tone} I guess you figured it out then. I began picking off your stuff for myself, and to cover my tracks, I framed Sensaina for it. But look what you've done. If I stole all your stuff, I have an alibi, which leaves Sensaina wide open again. I'm a theif, but I'm no killer. Maybe Sensaina needed more pink for his palette?"

Monokami

Unpaid

The antagonist of this particular killing game. Monokami is a bi-coloured stuffed wolf doll with a mind of it's own. (Sound familiar?) He suffers from bizarre fits of personality shifts, seemingly being kind and caring one moment, to enraged and fearsome the next. Despite his seeming nice side, he is very much out to bring despair to the kids of Class X, using everything he can to push them into murdering each other to progress the killing games into round after round. Has a high-pitched menacing tone akin to the Monokuma, but with more gruffness to it. Played by a female preferably.

  • "Ladies and gentlemen! Thank you for joining us today!"

  • "I mean, I really don't want to do this, but I have demands I have to meet, you know? Look, here, if just one person dies, I'll throw you all a bone.- Heh, bone."

  • "DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHO YOU'RE TALKING TO YOU LITTLE SNOT, I AM THE REINCARNATION OF FENRIR HIMSELF, I WILL BRING DOWN THE HEAVENS ON YOUR PATHETIC SOUL AND CAST THE POWER OF RAGNOROK ITSELF INTO YOUR PUNY PARADISE!"

SHSL Calligrapher. A traditionalist Japanese man by nature, Sensaina specializes in the precarious delicate art of stroking out beautiful lettering equivalent of artwork. He is chivalrous and almost knightly at times, swearing by honor and feilty to uphold the law, and swearing to vanquish evil wherever it may lie with his sacred "stained blade". (His paintbrush with a sword hilt on the end of it.) His voice is a passionate Bass.

  • "If you wish to talk to me about my whereabouts, worry not. I have a witness in the scrolls, and they will speak to you in not words, but passion."

  • "HYAAH! KA! EENYAH! FEAR THE STROKING BLADE THAT TOUCHES THE SOUL!"

  • "The murderer is among us, and until they are stopped, I will stop at nothing to protect those I have come to recognize as comrades. Come forth at me killer and face my superior wit!"

SHSL Luckster. An earnest believer in friendship just like any good Luckster should be. Kumori can perhaps be a little too trusting of people as she has often gotten herself into dangerous situations from trusting the wrong people. However, her incredible luck has aided her in both positive and incredibly dark ways. All those who have tried to hurt her have died in horrible seemingly impossible accidents caused by bizarre random chance, leaving her to call her luck a curse. Despite her countless close calls, she maintains her trusting attitude. Chipper Low Soprano.

  • "Nice to meet you! People call me Kumori!... Well, some call me Walking Disaster, but I don't really think that's a proper name, but I mean, if you want to."

  • "I suppose in retrospect, free puppies probably should've seemed like a fradulant offer from the onset, but... I mean, free puppies."

  • "{Extremely Emotional} You can't give up everyone! Hope is here, buried underneath chaos, despair and confusion! If we give up, we let it win, so fight back!"

Role assigned to: thegeekynarwhal

SHSL Magician. A girl who fancies herself a witch and in fact will request others refer to her as the Ultimate/SHSL Witch rather than Magician. She believes heavily in the whimsy and magic of the world, and most heavily in the possibility of anything. She keeps a magic wand on her and wears a cloak and brooch everywhere she goes, giving off a very arcane appearance. She is prone to saying nonsensical words of “magic” and accomplishing bizarre seemingly impossible things like being in two places at once. She’s incredibly charming and innocent with a slight Educated Manchester accent. Soprano tone.

  • "Valarmus! Potrosus! Velidomore!"

  • "What do you mean how did I get here? I wasn't done talking to you Kurikoto, so I just used my magic to catch up with you. I mean, why run across the whole courtyard when a quick "Rowesha!" will get there and back in a split?"

  • "{Offended} N-No! Don't be ridiculous! I would never use the sacred art of magic to do something as brutish as kill someone! Those kinds of curses are banned in the witching world!"

Role assigned to: mrbrocklee

SHSL Dungeon Master. A rather sorely fellow who narrates and handles all situations as if in a fantasy scenario wherein he is DMing. He will constantly limit his own ability to the infinite set of d20s he posesses, and sometimes even limit others by purposefully withholding information and finding ways to handicap a person's natural ability. He lives for narrative, often forcing catalysts in order to "progress the quest", straight up egging negatively minded people on, and encouraging reckless behavior. To this end, intensely emotional events fail to phase him as he really can't discern the line between fantasy and reality. Nerdy voice capable of some really intense dialogue.

  • "Roll for Initiative."

  • "You didn't roll a high enough Perception roll! I did it in private, I wouldn't want to ruin the depth to this."

  • "{Going Crazy} The plot is running thin. Murderer I know you're out there in someone's soul, this game has to end. If you need a willing subject I will get them there and on time! Just tell me who and where, and you'll have a victim. The cat and mouse chase WILL continue!"

SHSL Barista. A Brewster sort of guy, not all the much for talking. He tends to solemnly lurk in the back of the room observing and only speaking when he's deemed necessary to include his input. He appreciates routine and simple things. He can almost always be seen cleaning a coffee cup akin to a bartender, and always has an excellent cold brew on hand somewhere, prepared to make it with incredible efficiency. It is said his coffee can raise the dead and relieve even the harshest of griefs it's so delectable. Quiet older bass voice.

  • "... Greetings."

  • "... I made this one just for you. Finish it soon or it'll go flat..."

  • "Thanks for always coming by... It means a lot."

Role assigned to: lmvox

The narrator for used for scene introductions, major action sequences, and other areas to convey knowledge and information that wouldn't be appropriate for the characters to do. Should have a pleasant voice to listen to, and feel like a character in their own right.

  • "A scene arises in the library. Two familiar voices cry out against each other over a treaded subject once again."

  • "Time was running out. A vote was needed for a killer, but could magic really be the solution to this complex impossible crime?"

  • "Hope's Peak. June, three years before The Biggest, Most Awful, Most Tragic Event in Human History. A professor sought a solution to the growing schism in the staff. A compromise refused to unveil itself so drastic options were the only solution remaining."

Role assigned to: captainbatbrain

SHSL Cryptographer. The Protagonist. A notorious vigilante code cracker, Kurikoto lived by herself for most of her childhood, living with her only two friends, a stray cat and her laptop. In order to survive, she used her hacking and code breaking skills to obtain information for pay on a freelance basis. After receiving an odd job, Kurikoto completed it and rather than her arranged payment, received an invitation and full ride to Hope's Peak Academy. At first reluctant, she eventually decided to attend, taking her cat Satoshi with her. A fairly skeptical street smarts kind of girl with a lot of sass. Alto tone.

  • "I already generally thought the world kind of hated me. It figures something else would just validate that further."

  • "I wonder if he realizes the lack of a macron in Mono invalidates the pun he made with Ōkami."

  • "Of course! It was Sakkaku and Shigen in the library, not the other way around! But if that's the case, what exactly did Sensaina see?"

Fengshui Kimyona

Role assigned to: arcaneranger

SHSL Interior Designer. A flamboyant individual with a knack for knowing just what picture frame rim will complete that centerpiece of yours. While not the most exciting skill, Kimyona is capable of making near any room feel nice nice with a short couple touches and some spit'n'shine. He's fairly knowledgable about construction and architecture as well, easily capable of pointing out building standards and potential domestic threats. A really friendly individual extremely willing to toss out advice on a moment's notice. General Tenor tone.

  • "Hmm?-! Oh hun, that jacket HAS to go. You look like something the cat dragged in. No offense to Satoshi."

  • "I get that this may be a bit morbid of me to say, but if you're going to kill someone, could you at least do it in an impressive way? This just screams "I figured this out last night".

  • "Don't. Take. Another. Step. The primary structural beam is overloaded. There's bowing in the supports. It was a nice attempt on the architect's part to try blending the cracks in with the shell, but even the best designer can't get random of that level. Stay out of there, one wrong move and place will go down faster than freshman girl at her first alcoholic party. Zing!"

Role assigned to: azure_mountain

SHSL Coroner. A very odd young man obsessed with death and everything surrounding it. It is not unusual to find him propositioned into some sort of test pushing the limits of how close he can come to death without succumbing to it, often accidentally leading any witnesses to think he has in fact been killed, when he is in fact alive and well. He is generally pessimistic and will talk in an overly scientific manner, sometimes making words up just to get people to stop talking to him. He has an old-fashioned sense of style and juxtaposing Baritone-Tenor voice.

  • "Don't call the group. I'm alive. Just walk out the door and forget about it."

  • "I have your autopsy by the way Kurikoto. It's got some... odd features to it. Our killer had some interesting goals with this murder. No doubt to cover themselves."

  • "Oh my goodness, this body is beautiful. Perfectly preserved and formed. Untouched by anything and just unmoving. Nothing I could accomplish in my studies.

Role assigned to: eskao654

SHSL Equestrian. An experienced and disciplined horse-rider, Torotto is constantly at the ready for anything. She is entirely capable of releasing all emotions within herself and achieving a perfect sense of calm on command, which can sometimes make her come across as erratic. She can also become incredibly demanding and empowered when the need arises as well. She has a voice equally capable of being cross and soothing at different times. Intense Mezzo.

  • "{Commanding} Will you two stop bickering and get to work!? Your petty argument is getting us nowhere closer to solving this!"

  • "{Going Crazy} RRGGHH!!! How could you...!!! [Breath in, breath out] {Calm and Pleasant} Your logic doesn't line up Kurikoto. The pool and the observatory are at least 15 minutes apart even with our best runner's gallop. How would I have made the trip?"

  • "Oh-my-goodness-sugar-cubes-thank-you-please-yes."

Role assigned to: katalyie

SHSL Charmer. A gal with a way of influencing everyone around her. While seemingly a cute face with gile, her influence extends even to those who wouldn't otherwise find her attractive or sympathize with her. Keberu is in fact extremely educated and adept in Psychological Warfare, playing at people's internal impulses and drive to get what she wants. It's hard to say what her real intentions and motives are a lot of the time as her personality alters as she is surrounded by different people. Should use a large variety of different kinds of voices.

  • "{Soft and Endearing} Aww, you're so nice to me Fukuro. You really shouldn't have."

  • "{Rebellious and Daredevil-like} You wanna go just tell me. I love going 80 in a school zone. Limits are for those who can't keep up, and need rules to even the odds, so let's say screw the rules!"

  • "{Going Crazy} Erg... But... No, I mean... That is true, but... I... Who am I? WHO AM I?... Well, hmm, I don't know, KEBERU DOJIKU MAYBE... but... Who's Keberu Dojiku?"

SHSL Guitarist. A real young Mick Jagger type kind of guy, with girls pining at his feet not for his personality or looks at all, but really just cause he's rich and talented. Shigen’s kind of ugly actually. He's a stuck up son of a bitch with a superiority complex bit enough to make you think he is Mick Jagger for real. Real easily hated kind of guy. Polished Baritone. Possible British accent.

  • "I can't help being incredible. Comes with the territory, chah?"

  • "My family actually contacted a spirit medium to confirm I am in fact the reincarnation of Doug Sahm. They fired him when he argued Doug Sahm was alive when I was born. That's why I don't believe in psychics."

  • "Post-Prog? Talk about lame. My guitars need at least six strings and all synthesizers at least several miles away when in use."
