FEVER/dream [STUDIO i2i Original Audio Drama]

Project Overview

FEVER/dream (FEVER) is an upcoming original audio drama by STUDIO i2i

About the Project:

Rebellion, transformation, tragedy and transcendent love set against a surreal, decaying world where dreams & fractured wills burn brighter than "gods" themselves.

This isn't a hero's journey to the domain of gods. It’s about what’s left when every lie falls away: the raw, burning need to go further, to reach someone (or yourself) on the other side, no matter what it costs.

“When hope alone is not enough to save a dying world… who's will dares to rewrite reality?”

Reality bends. Time fractures. But the weight of a single promise holds everlasting.

This is the fire in our hearts. This is our dream. Our FEVER.

PLEASE READ: All roles are currently unpaid / volunteer-based, but our long-term goal is to transition to a paid model as soon as funding allows

We’re actively exploring:

  • Crowdfunding & Patreon support

  • Production partnerships

  • Brand or platform sponsorships

Contributors who join during this stage will:

  • Receive full credit on all public releases

  • Be tagged and promoted across social media & marketing materials

  • Though FEVER is currently a passion project, cast/crew will be prioritized for paid positions/roles in FEVER’s next phase and future i2i Studios projects

  • Gain experience in the collaborative workflow of a narrative audio production

Audition Requirements:

  • We’re open to ALLLLL levels of experience. Passion, reliability, and curiosity matter just as much as (if not more than) polish!

  • Multiple takes are highly encouraged! Feel free to submit 2-3 takes per line to show your range (auditions with multiple takes are more likely to be selected so add some variety in your takes or throw in some of your own non-directed flair!)

  • Clear Audio Quality Required: The only major ask is that you have a good microphone and record in a clean environment (or the ability to clean up in post before submitting. Trick me if you must!). The specific hardware doesn't matter as long you avoid echo, background noise (fans, AC), and popping without excessive post-processing. Natural voices are preferred but I'm open to submissions with effects that fit the stage (ex. The Veil calls for some funky post things if you are up to it).

  • 18+ Only: Participants must be 18 years of age or older. The story includes mature emotional themes, intense conflict, and moments of implied intimacy/steam between leads (so no daycare I'm afraid #grownfolksbusiness)

FEVER is being built by a collective who believe in going further. If you’re someone who connects with deep, emotionally charged stories and wants to be part of building something ambitious from the ground up - this is your call!

Let’s tear through The Veil together.

Latest Updates

  • New roles + teaser release!

    Hey everyone! Our first teaser just released along with casting calls for 5 new characters!

    The first teaser of the project featuring an original track from the series by Malocifer came together really fast and there's more to come as we prioritize artists and sound engineers next! https://youtu.be/yKU0_KCylGA?si=hGQgYlX8i9fomLwJ

    With the added roles, I will be extending the time and begin to create shortlists for the roles of Icari, Abby, and the Veil. I can't wait to hear the levels reached during this next wave of auditions and if you applied before, feel free to apply again or for a different character for visibility purposes (i'm always looking for talent on different projects if not this one)

    I've been so impressed and thankful so I can't wait to see more!

Thayne Veritas, the Judge
open
Deferred: Agreed Amount

Voice Type: Medium-low. Cocky, arrogant, condescending. Lethal grace and authority wrapped in a beautiful package. (tip: Kind of like Uryu Ishida (Bleach) if you are having a hard time finding the tone/delivery). Lance Orion from Zodiac Academy

Thayne Veritas is the first son of the sovereign who was born into privilege and overwhelming circumstance. This has given him fixed viewpoint that looks down upon a world they already have claim to. He is an ice-cold, dispassionate force who intervenes not to ensure a specific end happens, but to ensure that what is true remains true. The idea that power and perceived truth are inseparably linked. House Veritas as a whole represents the dangerous belief that one's own logical framework is the only valid one, leading to a heir who is a condescending, entitled autocrat built on the foundation of a chillingly objective, unfeeling, and ultimately self-serving interpretation of reality.

  • (arrogant, smug, a slip in the masking while basking in new power) See...that's the mistake people always make about judgement. They think it's reactive...emotional. (matter of fact) It isn't...I let systems strain. I let ideals fracture. I let people like you burn themselves trying to prove that something- ANYTHING matters more than survival...than ORDER. I decide what's worth keeping. Old friend...you weren't wrong. You've just become (disgusted)...excessive.

  • From the moment you believed this world could change, I'd already won. This was never a struggle. Only an evaluation. My judgement...? Execution.

Melani Vesper, the Silence
open
Deferred: Agreed Amount

Voice Type: Strong, like a soldier. Deep and low. Warm but lined with steel.

Melani is the youngest fleet admiral Nostfell's history and the heir to House Vesper. Despite her military ties, she works to aid the people from the shadows. She is the sole witness of the “soundless tree” as it falls in the forest. She hears and understands its plight and carry it with them. Their strength is resilience, deep moral clarity, and the quiet persistence of truth. She is a revolutionary of the world and takes it upon herself to let the voiceless be heard. She is a powerful, tragic figure. A person who burned brighter and hotter at every attempt to silence her and the voices that cried out but could not burn their chains away as she did. However, over the events of the story, her quest for perfect justice for the silenced turns them into the very thing they were fighting: a powerful enforcer of a new, absolute silence.

  • Youth isn't an excuse to cover up our mistakes but nevertheless, we're only young once. The night belongs to us!

  • I've said it a million times but I feel like no matter how much I do, I always find my way back here. Never free, never escaped. No matter how much I change. No matter how much the world does. But if not me, then who. Who will hear them if I don't?

Eris Ravenhurst, the Ruin
open
Deferred: Agreed Amount

Voice Type: Med-low, angry, sadistic mostly but capable of unnerving calm and calculation. Scary when he's on the edge. Volatile, unpredictable.

Eris has been undone time and time again. Suffered through great tragedy and experienced true ruination. Despite their ruin, they come to burn hotter and brighter as a result. Their ideals become fixed in the ruin that once threatened the collapse of self. For Eris, fate, worldly desire, and destiny are rejected. Their worldview shifts into one of that sees existential discord, free chaos, and ruin as the only constants in this world. It's natural state. They wish for a new life where these ideals are ever-present as, for them, they represent the only way to see the "freedom" & "truth" the world has to offer. With their mind warped into something barely human, they not only emerged but bloomed into someone they could move forward as. To the Veil, their will to do so grants them the right to meet the World's End. Eris is a force of nature, a living embodiment of the absurd, who dances in the face of inevitable destruction, not with despair, but with joyous, liberated indifference. A god of discord and ruination made flesh. 

Voice description:
  • male adult
  • There's a quiet honesty in things that are broken. It's beautiful that they can stop pretending they can last forever. Aren't…you tired of pretending?

  • *Scream of power release into insane laughter*

  • I'm not here to preach a new gospel. I'm here to burn the church down.

Alois Camus, the Madness
closed
Deferred: Agreed Amount
Role assigned to: AvoidesVO

Voice Type: Androgynous, non-binary. Playful but also capable of dipping into darkness. High-medium tone.

Alois' perfect world is one without reason. Perfect imperfection under one "true" will. The ability to express will arbitrarily. To act according to your personal whim, impulse, or random chance, rather than being guided by reason, principles, necessity, or established rules., They argue that humans are born without a predefined purpose or "essence." Instead, each person first exists and then defines their own identity and meaning through their choices and actions. The "will to move forward" without an inherent reason is the exercise of this radical freedom. The revelation of which pushes him to answer the call of the Veil and join the World's End. For Alois, Reality is near-meaningless. Alois isn't driven by joy or indifference, but by a consuming, otherworldly passion. Madness. Their madness stems not from a disconnect with reality, but from an overwhelming belief in the absolute primacy of their own desire in a meaningless world. They look down upon anyone who follows rules or seeks security/safety. They see indifference as a form of weakness or inaction. They possess a relentless, high-energy drive. They are always moving, building, breaking, asserting. Their behavior is unpredictable not out of whimsy, but out of sheer, untethered passion and contempt for the now.

Voice description:
  • female young adult
  • androgynous
  • male young adult
  • This dream- this "hope" is a chain you forged for yourself. You would rather tether yourself to an unobtainable future than embrace the truth. You want to build a better world? For HER? It's pathetic...It's-(broken, manic from realization)..beautiful. It's true...madness

  • You claim MY actions are beyond reason but even at the world's end, you still don't see it...But I'll make you understand. (rueful) After all, I'm the only one who can...There is no reason here, Cari. No fate. No hope. Only me. My madness

  • My bones and broken dreams have already lined the path forward. The only steps I take are towards a vision of tomorrow you can't even hope to understand. Your heart burns because of this world, Cari. Because of her. I burn in spite of it.

Icari/Cari (Lead Protagonist)
open
Deferred: Agreed Amount

Voice Type: Steady, mid-low, resolute, turbulent beneath the surface. Capable of tenderness with ability to unleash. Defiant, layered with vulnerability, sharp like a blade, yet warm in rare moments of openness.

Personality: Cari is a boy driven by overwhelming willpower and his ever growing ambition to find the truth. His heart is one that feels everything too deeply yet refuses to bow to anything: not fate, not gods, not even the people he loves. His soul sings the beats of a war drum, always pushing him higher, farther, beyond the limits anyone else can endure. He is equal parts beautiful and terrifying in his resolve: the boy who would set the sky on fire if it meant forging a new world from the ashes.

The tragic, magnetic idealist trapped in a cycle of rebellion and ruin. He dreams of impossible futures and cannot accept the walls reality builds around him. People are drawn to his raw conviction, even when they fear where it might lead. He doesn't win loyalty purely with charm or soft words, but through sheer force of will when all no other roads lie ahead. When Cari believes in something, the fight only ends when he breaks or the world does.

Cari carries the deep, gnawing loneliness of a boy who only ever wanted to be seen, understood, and loved, even as he burns the bridges behind him. His heart is both his greatest weapon and his greatest flaw: a Requiem that consumes the past and present in his desperate reach for a perfect, unattainable future.

  • (something you think would fit OR battle noises)

  • "I've bled for every step that led me to the World's End. Fire, thorns, silence — I’d walk through it all again, just to dance with you at the end of the world."

Abby (Lead Protagonist)
open
Deferred: Agreed Amount

Voice Type: Warm yet edged. Silky and venomous. The tongue of a beautiful viper. Calm, commanding, with an undertone of dangerous intensity similar to the calm before a storm that can break anything if it chooses. Capable of unexpected warmth and tender care when speaking to those she loves. Nurturing but terrifying when crossed, layered with fierce conviction and (at times) raw emotional power.

Personality: Abby is a prodigal young woman of noble underworld orgin. She weilds an unyielding devotion and terrifying grace that makes her untouchable to the world around her. Every word and action is like the silken threads her family has built their empire upon.She is serene on the surface, immovable in her resolve, and due to being forced to shoulder impossible burdens, her mask is one of lethal beauty and unwavering grace. When she decides to let the mask burn away, Abby's true heart can be felt/heard. It is fierce, aching, and desperate. Her love is raw and consuming, her fear of losing everything turns her resolve into unbreakable silken chains.

She wants to protect him, even from himself, even if that means becoming cruel. Even if she must trade her mask for a crown.

She believes she must be the strong one, the anchor in the storm, the one who imposes order on chaos. And yet, before Cari, she is at once the tyrant and the girl still begging not to be left behind. She has yet to see the world of their dreams. Their bond is where the Queen of Hearts bleeds.

Voice description:

  • "I’d burn every bridge, every piece of myself… just to see you smile again. Even if the ashes of everything we were are all that’s left. I’ll make it enough. For you." (Abby’s voice quivers, as though she’s on the verge of breaking. She’s standing on the edge of her own despair but fights to hold it together for Cari. Her voice is soft, but there’s a weight to her words that makes them feel like a promise — one she’s willing to sacrifice everything to keep.)

  • (something you think would fit OR battle noises)

  • "Reality cracked when I spoke my truth. Now it sings my name." (sovereign, almost serene — like she’s already beyond mortal limits, but still dangerous)

The Veil (Casting Multiple)
closed
Deferred: Agreed Amount
Role assigned to: Gaby Danta Kan teawei lynod

Voice Type: Ethereal, omnipresent, soft but unyielding; genderless or androgynous preferred. Harmonic layers, slightly melodic or echoing. Feels inevitable and ancient. (If you can do all voices, go for it!)


Personality & Lore: The Veil is the boundary between what is and what could be. It is reality’s skin and the lattice of rules, limits, and certainties that keep the world from unraveling. It whispers to the essence of all beings, promising safety in submission and peace in obedience of it and by extension, reality. But for those with impossible will — those who refuse to kneel — the Veil becomes an adversary, a test, and for a select few, an equal. Only by piercing tearing through reality can one rewrite fate, shatter destiny, and birth a new tomorrow. In FEVER, the Veil is not just a wall; it is alive. It watches, it tempts, and challenges those who dare to encroach upon the boundaries of existence.

Tone & Feel:

Your voice should feel like it exists everywhere and nowhere. A cosmic echo.

Delivery is calm, emotionless but heavy with presence — like a force of nature.

In key moments, it sings back (optional light harmonic layering encouraged, but not required for audition).

Lore Notes:

The Veil represents the boundary of reality. Only those with overwhelming will and truth in their hearts can pierce through it.

It sings back to those who offer their life's song (their story and desires) and can bear the weight of their souls confession — often during battles or existential turning points.

When it deems someone worthy, they become Royalty to Reality — sovereign beings whose will is felt by all existence (known as Royal Tempo).

  • "The Veil speaks only to those who have heard their own truth. Sing your desire… or fall silent forever." (Soft, distant, but heavy. The sound of reality waiting, withholding judgement.)

  • "If your will is sovereign… tear through all you know. Prove your truth to the world beyond." (Calm, challenging, an invitation to break reality’s rules.)

  • "You are no longer flesh — bone — being. You are royalty to reality. And all that lives shall feel your presence… even in dreams."

Luxe Stefania, the Sight
closed
Deferred: Agreed Amount
Role assigned to: Ashby Garst

Voice type: Warm, sweet edged with a bit of danger. Composed like a lady of old (southern belle like, a bit of Miss Fortune). Sweet but irresistibly suggestive tone and way of speech.

Luxe reached out, screamed, fought, and cried for a soul to truly see or hear hers. When no one did, the Veil came to her in dreams to coax the dormant embers that lied in her heart. Sole audience to the inferno yet to rage. With closed eyes, she learned to truly hear and see. In dreams, she found solace, strength, and the truths of what was beyond. She listened to the whispers of those drawn to her essence and the warmth she emanated. These were the echoes of those beyond the Veil. In life. her beauty affords her the gaze, attentions, affection, and even the ire of those in places of power. Over time, she learned to become ultimate puppet master, whose strings are woven from affection and aspiration rather than outright fear or overt subjugation. Her power lies in shaping the reality, desires, and beliefs of others, making opposition seem unnatural or non-existent. Luxe is what lies in the gap between objective truth and the controlled "reality." The difficult process of uncovering and understanding. They finds that their ability to shape fundamental human desires and beliefs calls into question the very nature of agency and free will for everyone around them. She sees the world as it is but also takes on the duty of challenging the 'is' with the 'ought,'. 

Voice description:
  • american (midwest)

  • american (southern)
  • If you angry with me, good. That means you think it was still your choice.

  • (seductive, dangerously sweet) I know how it sounds but...you're safe with me. (beat) Oh you misunderstand sweetheart. I didn't say NOTHING bad would happen...I just said you wouldn't be alone when you did. I've seen young men with power before. You don't need protection. You need a witness. Someone who stays...even when they see everything.

  • The true levers of the world aren't the ones you can see. The 'strong' and the 'resolute' are merely the most distracted, blinded by their own might, deafened to the silent cries of the lost and the forgotten. They mistake their ambition for virtue, their indifference for strength. For them, the way the world is right now, today, is not an inevitability. Existence is not justification. I have listened to the whispers and echoes of those the world has left behind. I have seen the truth. I have seen your end.

    We are looking for people who understand how to build a world that is at once beautiful, melancholic, and relentlessly cool.

    An ethereal dreamscape that fuses the hazy, nostalgic textures of ambient electronica, atmospheric drum & bass, gothic J-rock, and ambient electronic soundscapes with the fragile, heartbreaking melodies of Japanese visual novels. This world is driven by a stylish and relentlessly cool pulse, blending the sophisticated rhythms of atmospheric drum & bass with the dark, gothic romanticism of J-rock.
