- Greetings to all talented voice actors!
We are the Deceptum Community. This is a roleplaying community that has the genre of mystery and crime fiction in the setting of Victorian Era in 1880s. This is a project where our Non-Playable Characters (NPCs) will be needing voice acting aside from the texts provided for the players. This is for the role-players to be fully immersed to the community we built and hopefully, you'd take part in this, too!
As for those who take interest to our community, these are important notes we would like to share with you:
- Clear and good quality audio is HIGHLY PREFERRED. You do not need to have a professional kit, but please make sure that there is no background noises or voice echo in the file.
- Please try your best to PUT EMOTIONS and FEELINGS into your audition! We have always leaned more towards voice actors who show passion in their voice acting for characters.
- This is a role-playing community, however, we will be needing ONLY voice actors who could bring our characters into life since role-playing is for participants.
If you want to learn more about our community, you may browse through our Community Document and check out the Character Showcase. Also, please be sure to browse through all characters we are currently open for audition. You may find some characters that might interest you!

• Prologue •
In a cold dim room surrounded by thick walls and shelves, a man with a small lamp lit through the night avoiding the darkness to engulf him.
“Oh, hello.” A voice of a mysterious man cut through the silence.
“Look at you, the expression on your face and the curiosity overflowing in your eyes seem as close to a newborn, I might say. Do not dwell on it for I am here to guide you.” A man pauses for a while then continues.
“Merlin, that is what the strangers called me.” He laughs lightheartedly. “Have no fear; I am not a wizard who would cast a spell upon you. I am just a humble overseer who looks after all tales and mysteries-- stories of love, greed, beauty, life, death, justice and morality.”
“I will take the plume and write down the chronicles and mysteries you wish to unveil.”
“You see, we are always weighing the scales to make the best decision. However, sometimes, the story and the lives of those whom you interfere with might be anchored on the choices you make whether they will cease to exist or persist to live.”
“In terms of your story--” A man slides a document closer to you. “Take a look at this, your story will all begin with the invitation from the General Post Office…”
See the Deceptum Community Document on page 2.
“Does this interest you enough?” He chuckled lightly.
“Would you accept this as a challenge: to outwit one another and wrap your version of justice around your fingers? Let this story test your sense of morality and know which side you are on. Would you fight for a change or do nothing about it?”
“Take the opportunity into your grasp and decide now…”
A man leaned back a bit and spoke in a relaxed manner. “Hmm...It seems like you still hesitate, don’t you? No worry, I will be right here. You can reach out to me anytime. I will be waiting for your application form and your most-awaited arrival.”
“Till we meet again.”
