Update: (Auditions extended for 3 Days)
Hey there everyone, I have decided to change the deadline a bit and thank you all for auditioning.
Hopefully I hope to work with some of you in the future.
I am working on a character pack/a major romhack in general for a classic N64 racer game called Diddy Kong Racing, which is a game that I grew up playing during the 2000s
We are looking for voice actors to record some lines for the selected characters in the game and I was inspired by my friends to start this project
We are also looking for a 3D artist and a composer as we already have a lead concept artist for the project
We need a 3D artist to understand the hardware limitations of N64 and also the game based on it.
Most of the voice lines in the roles are not finalized and will be changed in the project once casting call is over.
All audition scripts are written by myself and Mintyflops.
(All images shown in the characters are placeholders and will be different in the final version)
Requirements for Voice Actors:
1. You need to be 16+ to partake in this project
2. You'll need to have discord so we can remain in contact and for us to provide you with the voice lines you need to record
3. Audio Recording doesn't matter much since It's in a low quality sample rate, though recording in reverb heavy spaces or rooms is not recommended
You can still audition with those kinds of recordings but we'll be more selective in that case
4. Do not use Generative AI or voice cloning in auditions or else we will reject them
Hey there everyone, I have decided to change the deadline a bit and thank you all for auditioning.
Hopefully I hope to work with some of you in the future.
Greetings everyone, I have decided to change the deadline of the project mainly I feel there not enough auditions for me to review.
I have Goldeneye Google Translate Edition to worry about at the moment too.
This project will resumed progress once the deadline is reached in March 15th.
Greetings everyone, thank you all for auditioning and how ever I will be likely changing the deadline around a different date March.
Mainly I don't have that many auditions for certain characters, I will be updating all of you when the deadline is reached.
Cheers!
Voice Casting Call:
For a: soprano/high Pitch, timid, and shy character
I’m looking for a voice talent who can capture a similar personality and tone to the character in the game's dub. The ideal voice should be:
1. Soprano or High Pitch
2. Timid and Shy
3. Soft-spoken, but with enough emotion
4. Close to the character's voice and personality in the dub (please refer to this if you haven't already)
5. Mikan is a paranoid, and fragile character with low self-esteem. She is easily intimidated, cries easily,
If you think you can bring this character to life, please feel free to reach out with your audition!
Reference to Voice of said character.
""H-Hello! I'm Mikan T-Tsumiki"" (Shy and Afraid)
"I-I'm sorry!" (Sad)
"I-I'll do my best!"
Bratty, tough, rebellious, and confident character. I’m looking for a voice talent who can capture a similar personality and tone to the character in the game's dub. While she is a kid in AI: The Somnium Files, she doesn’t sound or act like one. She has a distinct voice and a bold, sharp attitude that sets her apart.
The ideal voice should be confident and rebellious, with a tough yet expressive delivery. I'm looking for something very close to the character’s dub VA, but feel free to bring your own take to the role. If you think you can bring this character to life. Here a video reference to said character (Sadly couldn't find a video that is a compilation of voice clips)
"I'm Mizuki! Let's do this!" (Excited)
"Stop that!" (Annoyed)
"This is fun!" (Excited)
I really want a unique take on this character instead of impersonating her dub voice. I want her to be free spirited, eccentric, whimsical. having her personality like this would be very accurate to the source material. Though you are free to do a similar take to Wendee Lee Voice and Performance. However I prefer if it is something different for the character while maintaining her personality.
"Hello there! My name is Clover!" (Passionate)
"Be careful!" (Playfully)
"Yippee!" (Excited)
I really want this role to be as close to the source material as possible.
I really described her to be angsty, cynical, rebellious in her personality, however it's not really a full requirement to have her voice to be spot on. You are completely free to make it different from Elsie Lovelock's performance from the actual show itself and it's completely optional to make it similar to it.
"Hey, I'm Uzi Doorman!"
"Bite me!" (Upset)
"Wohooo! I am god!" (Excited)
Unlike the other roles, Sara has no official or a voice in general. That means anyone is free to do their own take of the character in terms of her voice and personality.
However she still has some personality traits like being strong and dependable with the characters describing her to have a Samurai like attitude.
(Before you record Sara greeting lines her name is not pronounce like Sarah but more in a Japanese pronunciation like this "Sah-rah")
"I am Sara Chidouin! Up for a game or two?" (Confused and Passionate)
"Hey!" (Playfully Annoyed)
"That was a BLASTTT!!" (Energetic and whimsy)
Amame Doi is very loving and cheerful and also kind. I want her personality to really reflect that in terms of delivery and the voice itself.
However anyone is free to have a different approach in terms of her voice and delivery.
She is also an unlockable character in the game and likely she will not have many voice lines.
"Welcome to Sunfish Pocket! I'm Amame Doi!" (Passionate and Happy)
"That's not very nice!" (Annoyed)
"Yay! this is fun." (Excited)
Satsuki is very jolly, and very cheerful in terms of her personality. I really need her performance to be highly energetic in terms of delivering her clown related personality.
However it's an original fan performance since she doesn't have a voice actor like Sara Chidouin. You are free to do whatever voice you feel fits her in your audition.
"The name's Satsuki Iranami. Let the fun begin!" (Cheery and Whimsy)
"Ouch, that hurt a bit!!" (Playfully and Annoyed)
"Catch me if you can, ohohoho!" (Playfully and Whimsy)
I really want Monokuma to be pretty close to Brian Beacock voice and tone similar to the dub of the danganronpa games, I really want him to be cheerful and easygoing like heard in the source material.
"The name's Monokuma! Let's race till the end puhuhuhuhuhuhu!" (Cheerful)
"Quit it or I'll punish you!" (Angry, Annoyed)
"Puhhuuuu!" (Excited)
We are looking for someone who can translate the concept art for the characters into the N64 hardware limitations.
We will mention that you are free to make certain changes to the concept art based on your own preferences or sticking with the limitations.
You'll need a program that supports the obj format since it only supports it in GE/PD Editor
Not only that but we could extract the models and then send it to you in the reference of tris, polygons, etc.
*Say something you think would fit*
I am looking for a composer who can actually understand MIDI very well, not only that but also someone that can transcribe certain pieces from other game soundtracks I want and then rearrange them for the DKR sound set and style"
How ever I do have certain requirements for this position.
1. You need a SF2 VST or a player that can actually sequence the converted soundset in your DAW.
It could also be your own dedicated SF2 player in your DAW of choice.
2. Garageband is not really recommended as it's it doesn't support MIDI export at all
3. You need a DAW like Cubase, FL Studio, Logic Pro, Mixcraft, Reaper, etc as those supported MIDI Export.
4. If you don't have the following DAWs, you can also use notation programs like Musescore and Sibelius. You can also use Synthfont and Sekaiju just in case you don't use them for composition.
Two composers will be picked for the project once the audition process is done.
