Hey everyone, here with a collab opportunity and really excited to meet and work with some new faces!
IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THIS GAME IS: Gravity Circuit is an indie platformer that released back in 2022 and plays similarly to games like Mega Man X! It's an absolute gem with great gameplay and an amazing story, not to mention some powerful Eurobeat bangers for the soundtrack!
A sequel just got announced, so THIS GAME IS CURRENTLY FREE UNTIL JUNE 14TH, SO GO AND SNAG IT ON STEAM!!! :D
Moving on, here are the details... the project's simple - I've decided to put together a video voicing the dialogue between Kai and the Rebel Circuits before their respective boss battles start, and after you defeat them!
Here's a link to a video showcasing the dialogue, with timestamps of each character exchange. To make things easier for you - each character listing will include a timestamped link if you want to reference their facial expressions for the dialogue!
All characters except Kai (main character) and Ray (Optic Circuit) are open and available for auditions.
Do not worry about keeping pace with the text speed for these lines! You can read at your own pace and experiment with the delivery, but of course don't draaaaggg it out, y'know?
Please limit your reads to 2 takes if you're going to provide multiple takes! Feel free to do AABB or ABAB.
Please have a decent enough sounding mic, I'm not asking for studio quality, background noise is fine if it's at a minimum (I can always do my best to erase it if needed) but if you audition on your phone or something then you will not be considered.
Each character listed here will have sample lines along with a few pointers to give you the best idea of how to deliver the lines for your audition! :)
These are short exchanges in terms of dialogue so I'll probably only shoot to have this casting call open for 2 weeks, I may decide to extend the deadline if needed, so I'll post an update if I do!
This may be a fandub, but it is paid! Payment will be through PayPal - if you would like to be paid a different way, we can definitely discuss on the side. Each role listed here will be paid $10 as shown.
That should be all - can't wait to hear what you guys can cook up!
Hey all - as the title says, casting has been completed! It was a very difficult process because there were a lot of amazing auditions!
To those who have been cast - I will be reaching out via email with further details, or will send a message here on CCC if you did not leave your contact info.
Once again, a HUGE thank you to all who auditioned, it meant a lot to see this much turnout for this. I hope to work with more of you one day
Hey everyone, I'm a little delayed with this (so if you were able to get your auditions in last minute, you made it!) but auditions are officially closed! A HUGE thank you to all who auditioned again, means a lot to see so much turnout for this casting call.
I will be listening to auditions and hopefully making final picks by the end of the weekend, otherwise by Tuesday the very latest. Another update will be posted once final casting has been done!
DISCLAIMER - The roles will be closed and may say "Cast offsite" because that's how CCC does things for some reason, people will be cast here, don't worry!
Thank you again for your time everyone!
Hey everyone, hope you all had a great weekend. Just wanted to pop in and say a huge thank you for the interest in this project! It's only been two days since this went live and already over 100 auditions?
I've listened to a few that came in already and am loving what I'm hearing! Can't wait to hear these all real soon.
Thanks again and looking forward to hearing more!
Trace is described as crafty, as she tends to spend her time tinkering away with her creations. She's also described as incredibly ambitious, always pushing herself forward with her constructs. Unfortunately this ambition proves to be a hinderance, as she would pay bots she was supposed to aid no mind, and telling Kai to stop with the commotion as she's trying to work. She also seems to take offence when Kai calls her creations "junk bots", saying that he was never a "very considerate one".
-------------------------------------------------------------------
This one was tricky - I don't really have any particular character references for her - but go for a tone that is more reserved, someone who doesn't shout when they're annoyed/angry, but like the quiet mad type?
(Start with a little sarcasm, then into annoyance) "Well well well... if it isn't the 'hero'... I don't suppose you could stop with all the commotion? I'm trying to work here."
(After defeat, her final words) "Ghn... and here I was... just trying to raise my own army... good luck out there... on your own."
Cable is described as stoic, and often refusing to face others directly. This is reflected in his dialogue with Kai, where he doesn't go on any long speeches, only uttering a few short sentences before getting straight to the fight. And at the end of the fight, as well, Cable simply admits defeat without showing any other emotions, harkening back to him being very stoic.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
I'd imagine this guy has tones like Hit from Dragon Ball Super or Shota Aizawa from My Hero Academia for Cable - but again not looking for impressions, just something to go off of
(Dismissively) "Hmph, THAT worthless town? What exactly do you plan to power there? The Guardian Corps' pathetic defense systems?"
(After defeat) "...Heh, so be it. The generator is yours. It doesn't matter... what you do with it..."
Bit is described as a competitive type, always challenging others to race with him. This is reflected with the dialogue before his fight, as he refuses to stand down unless Kai shows him "his moves", and says he won't pass up the opportunity to spar with him. Bit also seems to have a desire to find a rival to race with, as he's always urging others to do better.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I kind of hear this guy as more of the cool, smooth talker vibe instead of the Sonic type voice in terms of voice direction - I don't have any particular character references, so see what you can come up with!
"Those were some cool stunts you pulled there, Kai. Think you could trace your steps back.. if you can catch my drift?"
(After defeat) "Hah... those were some slick moves... yeah?"
Medley is described as an avid partygoer and performer who loves attention, sometimes going to the extreme with loud music and everything else you'd expect from a party dialed up to 11. This behavior is almost certainly proven to be true in her dialogue before fighting her, as she is very flirtatious with Kai, calling him a fan and "handsome", and calling him a killjoy and saying that he has no spark of joy when he tells her about her speakers needing to go.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Have some fun with this one - while I don't want sporadic energy, I'd imagine Medley sounds like a toned down Iono from Pokemon Horizons, or maybe the opposite side of the spectrum like Rouge from Sonic to set a reference.
(Playfully) "What's this? Did my performance lure in a fan? Oh, how exciting! Would you like to get my e-signature, handsome?" "
(After defeat, last words) "Ngh... did... did you like... my performance?"
Blade is considered an individual who prefers to spend his time up alone in the skies, implying he is not a very sociable person. He's described as a vindictive person who held onto petty grudges and made enemies with everyone he met, even when he was in the wrong. Despite his rude demeanour, Blade would always be there if he was truly needed, even if he had the tendency to show up at the very last minute.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I don't have much direction to give other than to go for a bitter tone since this character is pretty much the lone wolf type. I'd say he has a medium-low pitch for voice tone. I'm biased because he's the "Cooler" circuit, but something like Cooler's voice from Dragon Ball FighterZ in particular haha - or think of how the Sniper from TF2 speaks.
(Bitterly, with some passive sarcasm in the end) Why, if it isn't it the *Gravity Circuit* himself barging in. To what do I owe this honor?"
(After defeat, with disdain) "Guh... we should have known better... to not trust you..."
Despite his massive appearance, Crash is relaxed, and down to earth. He gets along with others well, and often listens to the woes of others. This is displayed in his pre-fight dialogue with Kai: where he is the only Circuit to not antagonise Kai before the fight, even telling Kai that it's better if he worried about himself rather than him. Crash is also said to be prone to be breaking things accidentally, given his large size.
His size also meant that he would have to play the mediator when needed, as it made him good at intimidation. But given his personality, he didn't like acting tough.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have no idea why, but I imagine Crash having a slight southern accent - honestly maybe something along the lines of the Engineer from Team Fortress 2 but like a lower pitch? Heh - not looking for impressions please note but see what you can come up with!
(Passively, nonchalant) "Oh, rare to see you around these parts. Guess that means you are not here for sightseeing, huh?"
(After defeat, gloomly) Oh, what a bother... don't... worry about me...."
Hash is extremely calculative, always planning something. More often than not, these plans were elaborate obstacle courses for others to tackle. Though smart, he is also shown to be very arrogant, rude, and condescending as he prides in his intelligence and how he makes his obstacle courses but also looks down on other robots like Kai and calls them by derogatory and insulting terms like “single-processor fools” who would never understand his “art”. Hash is also described as incredibly easy to provoke, as he would often become angered and start fussing whenever someone beat his obstacle courses.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I picture Hash having a tone similar to Donatello from TMNT or Keith Silverstein's performance as Dr. Wily from Mega Man 11.
(Offended) "What a BOTHERSOME intruder you are, Kai! Don't you realize just how much I worked on those traps?!"
(After defeat, in shock) "Incomprehensible... my calculations said I was SURE to win..."
