This is a coffee shop dating sim with fake dating! There are 3 love interests that the player can choose to pursue, as well as customize their own name and aspects of their personality. There are 12 personalities based on their coffee order and the game will span 3 planned dates and a cute epilogue!

I'm hoping to add voice acting volunteers for this project I've been working at for a year. Feel free to find me on social media for any questions or general curiosities! Also, REMINDER THAT THIS IS UNPAID VOLUNTEER WORK AS I'M MAKING THIS GAME 100% FOR FREE!
Hi y'all, guess who's back!
We're back with 3 more characters to find voices for! These are minor roles that appear in Date Two and the epilogue, so super low effort. Just like before, these are unpaid (sorry, I'm very broke).
Meg, Val, and Eros' roles will be open throughout the month and perhaps into June if need be. Looking forward to hearing any questions throw at me :D
Hi folks!
First of all, thanks so much for the support. I've received over 50 auditions and it's been awesome listening to all of them! This update is to remind everyone that the deadline is on Dec 26th, so that's the last day to send in auditions for these 6 roles!
I will be adding another 4(?) roles at a later date, but those are for smaller roles that only appear once. I'd still like them to be voiced though, since I'm so sad I can't select everyone and there's some really amazing VAs in here!
For the few folks who receive DMs from me, it'll be a few questions to make sure you're on board for the next few months! Don't worry, this is a low stress thing that's super informal so we've got wiggle room. I'm finishing up the VA line sheets soon, but I have something fun planned to announce each VA first... I hope to hear from my chosen 6 soon! (And to see people resubmit for those other roles when they come :D)

"Heya! I'm Meg." (a happy introduction)
"Stop saying that! You sound like an edgy teen's private account!" (laughing at cringey friend)
"Mmm... I'll go talk to them." (serious/worried)

Eros is an 18 year old Chinese man who uses he/they pronouns. He's introverted but not cold, so a monotonous voice would be really interesting. As always though, I'm open to any unique interpretations of his voice.

"Don't look so surprised, he's addicted to the spotlight." (poking fun, but lowkey serious)
"Name's Eros. Nice to meet you."
"You're going to kill him."
"Don't look so surprised, he's addicted to the spotlight."
This is a voice acting role for one of the lead love interests in Hot or Iced. You can audition for as many of these roles as you want though! I'd prefer for the 3 love interests to be voiced over the side characters if it comes down to it :)
Finnick is a 23 year old Afro-Colombian man who works as a barista. The way he speaks is very confident and formal, but not without some fun teasing. His voice should preferably be smooth and lower register, but I'm open to any unique interpretations of his voice.
I have no requirements aside from being over 18 to take part and have good mic quality.
Example lines:
"I was waiting to see when you two would show your faces this morning." (playful but professional)
"One black coffee it is." (neutral, just taking a friendly order)
"Some things in life are too important to keep to myself. I’d hate to appear ungrateful for my good fortune." (said with an easy smile, almost flirty)
"I was waiting to see when you two would show your faces this morning."
"One black coffee it is."

Florence is a 24 year old Dominican demi-girl who works as a barista. The way she speaks is rather forward and can be monotonous at times. I imagine her having a rougher voice, but I'm open to any unique interpretations of her voice.
I have no requirements aside from being over 18 to take part and have good mic quality.
Example lines:
"You think I don’t know your orders? You practically live here." (sarcastic and pretending to be annoyed)
"...You already clocked on. I’m supposed to be training you." (awkwardly interrupting a conversation)
"We need to talk. No interruptions either. Got it?" (forceful and intimidating)
"You think I don’t know your orders? You practically live here."
"...You already clocked on. I’m supposed to be training you."
"We need to talk. No interruptions either. Got it?"

Chaiya is a 21 year old mixed (Thai and French) nonbinary person who works as a barista. The way they speak is sometimes shy and awkward, but other times they are enthusiastic and carefree. I'm really open to any unique interpretations of their voice.
I have no requirements aside from being over 18 to take part and have good mic quality.
Example lines:
"Yep. Or, I’ll at least START working at ‘Affogato Go’ today. It’s just training." (super nervous/awkward)
"I’ll talk to you later, yeah?" (anxious but hopeful)
"Do you have time for a quick interview before we return to the jaws of the beast and have to fend for our metaphorical love lives?" (joking around and pretending to be a news anchor)
"Yep. Or, I’ll at least START working at ‘Affogato Go’ today. It’s just training."

Paolo is a 21/22 year old mixed (Black and Italian) man who is the player character's best friend. The way he speaks is very friendly, approachable, and warm. It would be cool for someone to voice both Paolo and Paola, but I know that's a hard ask so I'm open to any unique interpretations of his voice.
I have no requirements aside from being over 18 to take part and have good mic quality.
Example lines:
"Hey, you! Took you long enough." (a happy greeting)
"Yeah, but the summary is friendship truly is magic." (being silly)
"Now Florence won’t even let us have our names on the cups..." (whining dramatically)
"Hey, you! Took you long enough."
"Yeah, but the summary is friendship truly is magic."
"Now Florence won’t even let us have our names on the cups..."

Tara is a 36 year old Slavic woman who is the coffee shop's owner. Her voice is raspy and firm, but she's also generous and caring. She's just stubborn too. I would love for her to have a Russian accent, but I'm open to any unique interpretations of her voice.
I have no requirements aside from being over 18 to take part and have good mic quality.
Example lines:
"Haven’t seen you all week. You kids left me!" (jokingly bitter and spiteful)
"New hire starting. Need her to have a shadow this morning." (explaining to the main character as she walks away)
"How could you start dating someone and not tell me?" (skeptical and lowkey offended)
"Haven’t seen you all week. You kids left me!"
