Infinite Sadness (Sonic fan-made)

Project Overview

Infinite Sadness is a tale about what the heck happened to Infinite the Jackal, before and after Sonic Forces.  It plays with the idea of Infinite previously existing in, and ultimately returning to, the Sonic Boom universe.  Though the Boom series is known it’s comedic and light-hearted nature, this narrative is simply what it claims to be… a fairly heavy story, where we learn about who Infinite really is and why.  

Several characters that did not appear in the Boom series, play an important part in the story.  I’ve made genealogical changes, and took a major liberty with a certain dynamic between two leading figures in the series.  These adjustments were established in a previous project titled, Diamond in the Sky. And as with Diamond in the Sky, this a volunteer-oriented project.  The goal is come together and have fun making some experimental Sonic stuff. 

I’m looking for performers who can sincerely emote and are not afraid to try new things with familiar characters.  Therefor, I highly recommend reading the story before auditioning.  Also, keep in mind that this fan fiction is for an older audience, thus I am asking for 15+ candidates only please.

Please no inquiries about Infinite. Team Diamond already has a solidified Zero, you can listen to an example of his voice here: https://youtu.be/pCXabqoCYb8

  • Shadow has been cast!

    Thank you everyone who tried out for the part of Shadow the Hedgehog. I truly enjoyed listening to all of your auditions and heard a lot of talent! On behalf of Team Diamond, I am very pleased to announce that Igggy has been chosen to play the part of Shadow for Infinite Sadness and Diamond in the Sky. If you are still interested in joining our team, we are always looking for visual artists and have a page where you may submit examples of your art: https://www.castingcall.club/projects/diamond-in-the-sky-seeking-artist I am opened to any and all styles and would love to see your visual interpretation of the Sonic Boom characters. Once again, thank you so much to everyone who tried out. We are thrilled to have you, Igggy and we wish all the best to each and every one of you!

  • Direction for Shadow

    Hey guys, In your auditions for Shadow, keep in mind: I don't care how good your impression is of any particular voice actor. I won't choose someone because they sound more like this or that version of Shadow. I'm looking for emotional charge and connection to the context of the lines. The entire script for the story has been provided and to be honest, your audition will be far more powerful if you've read the story first. So if you are really attracted to this part and hope to move on to the next round, I highly recommend re-auditioning with those things in mind. Telling me you do a good Thorton or Humphrey, etc. just isn't going to do much for you here. I'm looking for an actor, not an impressionist. This is not an easy part and our team is incredibly passionate. We've been through two Shadows at this point so choosing who will get the part is something we are putting a lot of care into. Break a leg! ~RoseyDanes

  • We still need a Shadow!

    Reopened this project, as we still need an actor to play Shadow. The audition lines have been updated for the part. Be sure to read the story before auditioning. A good Shadow impression won't get you very far, we need someone who understands the character the in context of the Diamond Series.

  • Seeking Sonic and Shadow

    Two new parts opened in Infinite Sadness, for the Blue Blur and The Ultimate Life Form! I look forward to hearing your auditions!

  • 2 Parts Left!

    I'm still accepting auditions for Knuckles Clan Member 1 and Dave the Intern. If you have not already seen the intro video for Diamond in the Sky (the story that takes place before Infinite Sadness) definitely give it a watch. The VO is done by the same performer playing Infinite: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zaKt5lxakxQ

Role assigned to: GoldenDrago

Mephiles the Dark, in this story, uses far more twisted physiological tactics to bring evil to multiple dimensions.  His actions are so severely cruel, that they result in the leading protagonist eventually going mad.  I am not looking for someone who can do a good "Mephiles impression" but rather, a performer who can dive into the motives and emotions of this character.  Again, I highly encourage reading the story beforehand.  The original VO for this character is a good starting point, but I am looking to hear a unique interpretation of Mephiles based on the text.

  • He’s the weakest creature, is he not?  Throwing temper tantrums for the pettiest of reasons.

  • You think you can save this mangy shell of a person?  How do you intend to stop me, little girl?  With your pacifism?  We both know how well that worked out when Chaos destroyed your father’s Knuckles Clan.

  • How idealistic.  You remind me of that insufferable, white-furred hedgehog from the future.

Shadow has been tasked with helping Infinite.  He's not sure why but accepts his duty whole-heartedly, in spite of the jackal's confusing resistance.  Normally known in the series for being overly edgy and stand-offish, this version of Shadow is much more down to earth and willing to assist.  This character carries over into the Diamond in the Sky series, which means whoever is chosen will join our full cast called, Team Diamond.  

When auditioning, keep this in mind: I'm not looking for an impressionist.  Shadow needs to have some kick in his voice.  He has friends now and isn't afraid to die for them.  Imagine of version of him who doesn't care about being cool but rather, a valorous Shadow who forgives and fights for what's right along side Sonic unconditionally.  I need an actor who can let go of canon and bring a new kind of righteous fire to Shadow.  He's no antihero in this story, he is a full on hero-type.

NOTE: Audition lines changed OCT. 7th.

  • There’s no time to waste.  You and I can’t afford to be enemies.

  • Stop resisting.  I know what happened that day.  Being called pathetic and weak is a shallow reason to hold onto this kind of anger.

  • No wonder Zero hates my guts.  You framed me for killing his family!  I’ll never serve you, Mephiles!

Sonic has matured and though he can still be cocky, he tends to lean more toward the empathetic side of things these days.  His help is sought when Mephiles attacks Infinite and though Sonic doesn't know the jackal, he knows which of the two is the true enemy.  As with the role of Shadow, This part carries over into the Diamond in the Sky series and whoever lands the role will join the Team Diamond cast.  Here is some important context for these lines, definitely worth the read, as it will make your audition more powerful: https://www.wattpad.com/819772587-infinite-sadness-jackal-squad-auditions

  • Ya don’t think anyone’s actually gonna try out for this?  And what’s with the title?  Jackal Squad?  What’s that all about, huh?

  • Hey buddy, you don’t actually wanna work for Eggman do ya?

  • That sounds serious.  Sounds like I need to humor him until we figure out what’s going on.  We’ll find them and I’ll play along.

Role assigned to: Juan Isaac

Orbot is Eggman's service robot.  Though his purpose is to follow the evil doctor's every order, he has a few opinions of his own and expresses them eloquently when his creator is not looking.  His voice is dainty and similar to that of C-3PO.

  • Good to see you awake.  You’ve been ill.

  • You seem concerned about being held accountable for events that took place outside of this dimension.

  • Eggman wishes to team up with you for evil but Shadow wishes to make you heroic.

Bruddah the Weasel Bandit is a member of Jackal Squad 2.0.  He's never been treated like an individual before and is super excited to be working under the command of Zero the Jackal.  He speaks with a thick New Jersey accent, similar to that of Joe Pesci's character in My Cousin Vinny.

  • Hey boss, not tryin’ to say ya can’t count or nothin’, but there’s only five of us.

  • Sweet, call me Bruddah then!  Haha, hey-ya boss, Imunna make you proud.

Dave the Intern is overjoyed to be a part of Jackal Squad 2.0.  No one's ever believed in him before and he's determined to prove himself.  He speaks with a stereotypical, pre-pubescent teenage boy's voice and is something of a geek: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jF84LzPGs_E

  • Just as I suspected, he’s insane.

  • As long as I don’t have to be the omega.

  • Hey, I’m not useless!  I can be evil, I can be rotten!  You’ll see!  I’ll prove it to you!

Willy the Walrus is a heavy-set thief whom most assume to be a putz, past his prime.  As a member of Jackal Squad 2.0, he's willing to show off that he has more to offer than people give him credit for!  He speaks with thick, urban accent, a Boston or Bronx accent would be ideal for his voice.

  • I’ll be your Lightning Bolt bruddah all day long, pal!

  • I’ll say, what a rush!  Phew, way to cut down on this extra layer of fat in my gut.

  • That’s right, we did!  Serves you right for not accepting our invitation to join the Lightning Bolt Society!

  • Beggars like him are lucky to lick the dirt off your shoes.

  • Everything will be okay, Princess.  Simply do not look over the edge of the floating island when we exit the cave.  Keep your eyes on my back.
