Hello everyone! Thanks for checking out my page. This casting call is for a YouTube fandub of the video game "OFF".
Due to some disagreements, one of our voice actors had to leave the project. So, considering we need both their and Enoch's roles covered, I decided to make a new casting call, and find some new actors.
This description has been taken from the previous casting call, as our rules and requirements have not changed. Please, watch our first video if you are interested!
What is OFF?
OFF is an indie game developed by Mortis Ghost that was released in 2008 in French, and translated to English a few years later. In it, you play as "The Batter", a mysterious character on a sacred mission to "purify" the world. As you explore each of the various zones, you must fight through the spectres in an RPG format, whilst solving puzzles. Though, the best part of this game is it's storytelling, and, as to avoid spoilers, I shall not go into any further detail. It's a short, free game that I think everyone should experience at least once.
(NOTE: The descriptions and lines for each character will contain spoilers. If you wish to play the game blind, come back to this casting call after you have played it.)
How will this project work?
I will be sending out scripts for each "Zone" in the game, one at a time. These scripts will then be turned into individual videos, and released on YouTube in order. The final product will likely be three to four hours worth of fandubbed content, and should take anywhere from a few months to a year, depending on how quickly I receive lines, and such.
How dedicated will I have to be?
This project plans to cover the entire game, split into sections for each "Zone". This means you will be recording two separate scripts, at different points in the game. Please be dedicated and bear with us as we produce episodes!
Any ground rules?
Just a few!
1. Have Discord! We'd like to be able to keep everyone together in one place for now.
2. While I would like you to use the provided voice description for the characters, you are free to experiment with them! There are no canon voices for them, and it is all up to interpretation.
And, that's it! If you have any other questions, please DM me, and I'll get to them when I can. Happy auditioning!
Dedan has no patience for ineptitude and has a terrible demeanour. He is not only disdainful, but vicious towards the Elsen in his Zone for their inability to handle spectres on their own. Dedan acts similarly towards The Batter, even after The Batter helped Elsen by purifying the spectres, and he remains in a foul mood until his death.
I imagine Dedan with a very gruff, cold and deep voice.
"Why does he think he's capable of destroying those stupid phantoms? He thinks he's better than you! Better than the Queen!"
(Irritated) "I command you. Get the fuck out of my way this instant, if you want to keep your job."
(Bewildered) "What part of "I'm gonna kill you" didn't you understand? ... You're insane."
As Japhet is in control of Valerie during OFF, I would like to have the same actor portray both characters.
Valerie is a mysterious character that little is known about, other than small comments from the Judge, during Zone 2. When Valerie is shown in the game, he is actually being controlled by Japhet. As such, nothing is known about his personality or backstory.
I can see Valerie having a fairly high voice, definitely higher than the Judge. In his moments in Zone 2, Valerie is very commanding, and fairly confident.
Although intelligent, strong, and ambitious, by the time of the game's events within the OFF world he has grown emotionally distraught and torn about how things in his Zone has deteriorated. Though trying to maintain his grip over the various Elsen he rules over, he anticipates his own death due to his failure. He is ultimately confronted about the corruptions that have taken place by the Batter and the Player before being killed.
I imagine Japhet with a mid tone voice, that is fairly calm and collected.
Valerie
(Angered) Poor cretins! I am here, right in front of you, ready to send you to hell!
(Dismissive) Valerie? That...is the name of the cat. You are mistaking me for someone else.
Japhet
"You do not understand, do you? I am not Valerie, I am Japhet! I have taken control of your miserable little brother. Unable to even chew through a little bird, until the end."
"I am the millennial fire bird. Let the battle begin."
Enoch is an extremely cold and condescending individual, completely unaffected by the countless deaths of his own workers in his Zone. He is also rather arrogant, as he seems to love the metaphor referring to the Guardians as being comparative to "Gods". He doesn't consider any strengths that the Batter may have, showing that he truly believes that he is invincible as well as a higher power in comparison to everyone else.
Enoch's voice clip is very deep and commanding.
(Confused) "Purify? But that's ridiculous! Nothing justifies this drastic measurement!"
(Explaining) "My name is Enoch, guardian of zone 3. My role consists, like the one of the other guardians', of forming the energy sent by the Queen Mother to a solid context."
(Angered) "I'll eat your hopes for survival like a block of sugar...with delight!
