Doki Doki Literature Club FESTIVAL Fandub
Project Overview
"The story follows a male high school student who joins the school's literature club and interacts with its four female members. The game features a mostly linear story, with some alternative scenes and endings depending on the choices the player makes. While the game appears at first glance to be a lighthearted dating simulator, it is in fact a metafictional psychological horror game that extensively breaks the fourth wall. " ~ Wikipedia

I want to thank you all (who are reading this) a happy thank you so much for auditioning. We only had this up for one little week and the outcome was amazing! There were so many talented people who auditioned that I had to be EXTREMELY nit picky with every single one of you. It honestly came down to audio quality and personality. For each character I added little tests to see if you could find them. The ones who passed the audio and voice tone test, immediately went into the personality test. It's no surprise that this project will be LINE INTENSIVE. So I was looking for actors who were going to put in there all even in the audition lines. This is what the industry also looks for. People who read between the lines and add in a bit of their heart with any character they auditioned for. The actors I cast I believe 100% pulled the characters off and did just that! I invite everyone and anyone to join my announcement discord where I post updates about all my projects. If you want to stay up to date with the work on Doki Doki that's the place to be! Congrats to everyone! And thank you! https://discord.gg/RCgA5fx

Wallace is the main antagonist in DDLC Festival.
Very smug and blunt. Says what he thinks. Puts on a face in front of the girls in the literature club. Hates the only other boy. Joins the literature club with an ulterior motive
Voice: Medium; Medium - High
(Blunt) You’re a teenage boy who is terrible at writing and has no interest in anything besides anime and yet you join a literature club that just happens to be full of attractive girls. Who do you think you’re fooling?
(Smug) Oh yea, we decided to skip it and hang out at a coffee shop to work on our poem. It was pretty much a date in my eyes, but don’t tell her I said that.
(reading a poem):
A brand new world
I wake up from an eternal sleep
To a bright shining sun
Calling to me
To join the world
Why wouldn't I name the main character after myself?
HELPFUL TIP: Don't just read the lines! Remember you are auditioning against others! Read BETWEEN the lines. Portray what's not said through emotion. Do not let any line go to waste. :)
Character Description: (From WIKIA) The protagonist was designed to function like a typical visual novel protagonist. He acts blunt and mean towards Sayori, his childhood friend; teases Natsuki, the tsundere; is warm to Yuri, the shy girl; and falters around Monika, the popular girl.
I see an annoying girl running toward me from the distance, waving her arms in the air like she’s totally oblivious to any attention she might draw to herself.
That girl is Sayori, my neighbor and good friend since we were children.
You know, the kind of friend you’d never see yourself making today, but it just kind of works out because you’ve known each other for so long?
We used to walk to school together on days like this, but starting around high school she would oversleep more and more frequently, and I would get tired of waiting up.
But if she’s going to chase after me like this, I almost feel better off running away.
However, I just sigh and idle in front of the crosswalk and let sayori catch up to me.
Uhhh…
All words escape me in this situation.
This club…
...is full of incredibly cute girls!!!
(Traumatized) Wha...what the hell...? What the hell? Is this a nightmare? It...has to be. This isn't real. There's no way this can be real. Sayori wouldn't do this. Everything was normal up until a few days ago. That's why I can't believe what my eyes are showing me...! I suppress the urge to vomit. Just yesterday. I told Sayori I would be there for her. I told her I know what's best and that everything'll be ok. Then why...? Why would she do this...? How could I be so helpless. What did I do wrong? Confessing to her...? I shouldn't have confessed to her...That's not what Sayori needed at all. She even told me how painful it is for others to care about her. Then why did I confess to her and make her feel even worse?!
Major role in the beginning. Will take a long break towards the middle of the series. Actor must stay in touch during the break. Discord very preferred during this time lapse. LINES MODERATE - INTENSIVE.
The way you glow through my blinds in the morning
Are you asking me to come out and play?
It makes me feel like you missed me.
Kissing my forehead to help me out of bed.
Making me rub the sleepy from my eyes.
Are you trusting me to wish away a rainy day?
I look above. The sky is blue.
It's a secret, but I trust you too.If it wasn't for you, I could sleep forever.
But I'm not mad.I want breakfast.Eh?
Well, I’m sure that’s part of it.
I think I understand you better than a lot of other people, you know?
So when I read your poem…
It’s not just a poem…
It’s a Jay poem!
And that makes it feel extra special!
Like I can feel your feelings in it~
Ehehe~
Monkeys can climb
Crickets can leap
Horses can race
Owls can seek
Cheetahs can run
Eagles can fly
People can try
But that's about itD-D-Don't get the wrong idea!
Hmph.
If I was looking for suggestions, I would have asked someone who actually liked it.
Which people did, by the way.
Sayori liked it.
And Jay did, too!
So based on that, I’ll gladly give you some suggestions of my own.
Lines- INTENSIVE
The tendrils of my hair illuminate beneath the amber glow.
Bathing.
It must be this one.
The last remaining streetlight to have withstood the test of time.
the last yet to be replaced by the sickening blue-green of the future.
I bathe. Calm; breathing air of the present but living in the past.
The light flickers.
I flicker back.I-I'm sorry! I spoke to much!
My favorites are usually novels that build deep and complex fantasy worlds.
The level of creativity and craftsmanship behind them is amazing to me.
And telling a good story in such a foreign world is equally impressive.

Monika had previously been a part of the Debate Club but left due to all the inner politics and drama, highlighting a desire for order, freedom of topics and friendliness. The Literature Club, which she founded after leaving the Debate Club, is very important to her. She aspires for it to be a place to showcase and grow everyone's passion for literature. Monika openly displays care and concern for her club mates, praising each member's writing style and even comparing them to famous authors and poets.
Here’s Monika’s Writing Tip of the Day!
Sometimes when you’re writing a poem-or a story-your brain get too fixated on a specific point....
If you try so hard to make it perfect, then you’ll never make any progress.
Just force yourself to get something down on the paper, and tidy it up later!
Another way to think about it is this:
If you keep your pen in the same spot for too long, you’ll just get a big dark puddle of ink.
So just move your hand, and go with the flow!
...That’s my advice for today!
Thanks for listening~
Hi! Monika here...
Welcome to the Literature Club! It's always been a dream of mine to make something special out of the things I love. Now that you're a club member, you can help me make that dream come true in this cute game!
I'm super excited for you to make friends with everyone and help the Literature Club become a more intimate place for all my members. But I can tell already that you're a sweetheart—will you promise to spend the most time with me? ♥
Oh Jeez...I didn't break anything, did I? Hold on a sec, I can probably fix this...I think...Actually, you know what? This would probably be a lot easier if I just deleted her. She's the one who's making this so difficult. Ahaha! Well here goes nothing.
