Danganronpa Phoenix Theatre - Wave 3
Project Overview
Why do humans live? That is one of the questions we'll never get an answer to.
Why do humans die? Well, entertainment of course!
Phoenix Theatre is a video-series fangan about 17 unwilling participants who wake up in a hotel, unable to remember how they got there. It isn't long because they meet a twisted version of an educational kids show character who forces them to kill or be killed.
While the killing game format is inspired by danganronpa, it doesn't take any other elements from it. The danganronpa title is just to make people recognize on first sight this is a fangan, the title of the project doesn't include it in the name.
Noteable progress done:
Full prologue and chapter 1 script.
All necessary character sprites done.
Prologue CGs finished.
If you plan to apply:
Please be at least 16 years of age or older.
Include your discord with your submission so I'm able to contact you.
Keep in mind this fangan will deal with some serious/intense topics and being a voice actor will means you might have to say lines regarding these topics. Keep that in mind while auditioning. If there are any senstitive topics that are uncomfortable for you, please inform me of them.
This project will take multiple years to complete so keep that in mind when auditioning. While you will get provided lines to read should you get accepted, keep in mind there will be dry periods where you'll have nothing to voice for months.
Auditions with the character's accent in mind is a nice addition but please don't force yourself if you can't do the accents. Feel free to still audition for them even if you can't do the accent.
If you have any questions regarding the project contact "Silkav" on discord.

Info:
Eclipse is a very curious woman who has a desire to have an answer to every single question she has. She likes being organized and notes down everything she hears, even the most minute details in case it helps in the future.
Despite her wishes to believe the other participants aren't capable of murder or going against the group, she can't help keep worrying about the potential scenarios and starts accusing everyone and everything. Even if she isn't convinced of what's she's accusing people of, she still demands explanations to put her mind at ease. In conversation, she prefers to stay grounded and steer the conversation towards her benefit.
Voice description:
Eclipse is someone who loves to ask a lot of questions. Sometimes with a curious and calm tone, other times with a very demanding one. Whenever something's hiding something from her, she won't take no for an answer and will be quite insistent on figuring it out. She doesn't see anything wrong with this approach because it's a killing game and every secret that's being witheld from her could be information crucial to surviving it. She does wish she could tone down her approach her bit at times.
Eclipse usually distracts from her constant need of knowledge with putting her mind on other stuff that require a lot of attention and concentration. She can be quite passionate about playing board games and watching sci-fi movies, analyzing every single detail.
- female adult
[Eclipse defending herself on being invasive on someone's privacy] "No, I am not going to quit just because a few people tell me to. I have a right to know what they're hiding from me, I have the right to know what’s going on with their family."
[Eclipse being at disbelief at someone's theory that they'll all be let go without bloodshed. She can't understand why their captors would ever do something like that.] "Let us- what? Are you crazy???? They’ve put so much time and effort into this, they’re not just going to let us go! They’re not going to be satisfied until they’ve squeezed us out of everything we have to offer them."
[Eclipse excitedly announcing her idea with a lot of enthusiasm] "I was personally thinking something more sci-fi with space battles and giant super weapons capable of destroying planets!
Voice Actor
Info:
Franic is someone who always seeks for the next thing to challenge him. He tossed aside getting a job in order to life like like he wants to, using his parents wealth to fund his own path.
He'd rather work alone and not rely on others, even having done several group projects all on his own during his school years. Even though he hates working with people, that doesn't mean he hates interacting with them. Far from it in fact, Francis is always ready to have a good time and socialize with others. He's the type of person to invite people over in the middle of a workday, assuming their schedules are as loose as his.
Francis isn't someone who likes to be thrown out of his comfort zone and will try whatever he can to get back in it, even if this means ignoring or downplaying the problems at hand.
Voice description:
Francis is someone who appears relatively laid back, he's always in the mood to hang out with others, not caring for the logistics of anything he's suggesting. He rarely plans stuff out and usually just wings it. He does have a tendancy to complain whenever things are bothering him.
His voice should reflect his relaxed attitude but he should also be able to raise his voice whenever he's bothered with something.
- male adult
[Francis being furious about missing the golf tournament he spent months training for] "I didn’t train for MONTHS just to be kidnapped RIGHT before the tournament! What kind of sick joke is this?"
[Francis making fun of terribly designed card game rules] "Heh, that sounds stupid. Why would you ever play that over actual card games?" "If you ever want to learn real games like poker and blackjack. You know who to ask."
[Francis being a bit annoyed that the others are taking it the motive super seriously] "You guys are seriously still on this huh?" "You're dumb if you believe someone is actually gonna fall for that motive, why are we going through all this trouble for nothing?"
Voice Actor
Information:
Nate is someone who thinks himself to be confident and capable leader. He's a PE and language teacher who is the football coach of his football team consisting of his friends. He's a supportive and caring individual who always tries to find a middle ground between others.
Whenever he makes a mistake, he owns up to it. Because even if he believes himself to be good at his job, he's still a human that can make mistakes.
Whenever he's not leading anyone, he's more relaxed and inviting. His football team is more like a hobby than a profession which is why every person treats each other like friends instead of co-workers. Whenever the team wins, Nate is always the first to organize a celebration with drinks to celebrate their victory.
Voice description:
Nate is very strict with his students and team but never cruel. He belives people have to be pushed in order to become the best versions of themselves and that there is never an easy way to skip straight to the end. He should have a medium-deep pitch voice with a calm tone that can turn into a more strict and demanding tone. Being out of his element, he'll struggle to apply his leadership skills to the killing game which will give him a less confident and more worried tone whenever something more serious is happening.
- male adult
[Nate assuming the leader role in order to take control of a chaotic situation but being worried people won't listen to him.] "I want everyone to be open about who they got as their target. That way, we'll be less inclined to kill each other." "We're all in agreement with that...right?"
[Nate sharing his stance on unsafe sports when being asked if he likes parkour] "Huh? Oh I’ve uh…tried it before but it wasn’t for me." "In fact, I believe parkour shouldn’t be for anyone! It’s way too dangerous and way too irresponsible! How could people enjoy risking their lives like that?"
Nate complimenting the group] "Great job, everyone." "Even if I didn’t contribute that much, it was still lots of fun being able to help you all out. Let's hope we can do this again sometime."

Information:
Eric is someone who is cold and judgemental towards people he isn't close with, he only shows respect to people he's close to and to people who can pull their own weight in a way that satisfies him.
He hates people who slack off and pities those naive enough to blindly trust everyone and everything. Eric has quite a sharp tongue when it comes to expressing his stance on how the killing game should be handled.
Whenever he does anything competitive he gives it his all and is extremely focused on the game even if the outcome is a certain loss or victory. According to him, if you don't try your best all the time you're forfeiting what you're truly worth and will never achieve anything in life. You can not afford to go easy for a single moment because it will put you in a downward spiral of erosion.
Voice description:
Eric is someone who has a deep-medium pitch voice and talks with a judgemental tone whenever something isn't appealing to him. He finds it a moronic idea to try to make real friends in a killing game and isn't afraid to state that fact over and over until people get it through their heads. While he may have fun with the other participants, he'll never trust them with his life.
- male young adult
[Eric giving advice to someone who is worried someone else might be using them. The "making friends is easier" part is a slight mockery of the idea] "Hey if it’s really bothering you, you could try and be more independent. The only person you can truly rely on to not stab you in the back is yourself, making friends here is much easier after you learn that fact. "
[Eric showing good sportsmanship and offering to give some tips after a game of chess] "Good game. Your efforts were admirable." "If you want, I could always teach you where to improve. "
[Eric being extremely frustrated about the fact how some people have been doing nothing but slack off and appear unbothered despite the very serious situation they're in] "Take those two for example, they told me they have been reading since they got here. SINCE THEY GOT HERE!" "I bet they woke up here and then decided ‘you know what, we can’t be bothered to do anything so we’re letting Eric do all the hard work for us’."
