We request that those 16 and up participate in the project
Minimum requirements must include no mic peaking, little to no background noise, and an open XLR microphone or clear-sounding USB microphone. Socials wise just Discord is fine for communication.
We have begun out evaluation process and will assign roles and invite people as soon as we can!
The deadline has been extended to the 19th! we want some more auditions in!
JOSUKE HIGASHIKATA. The main protagonist of the 8th part of Jojo. A man who lost his memories, born from the earth, wishing to know who he really is.
What we are looking for is a calm voice but with some spine, a chip on the shoulder, showing that Josuke is ready to get serious when things are needed. But yet be able to be in a more pleasant and even goofy mood. Josuke does also get into a more serious and darker voice when fighting, almost analytical.
PLEASE TAKE THIS INTO CONSIDERATION We would like to hear some grunts, short yells and an "ORA" rush. It is VITAL for the character. Send these IN ADDITION to the audition lines.
"My name is... Who am I...?" (Lost/Confused voice)
"I'm going to take back the past I lost!" (Loud Proclamation. Affirming himself)
"Shhhh...Soft & Wet" (Quiet proclamation, almost whispering)
YASUHO HIROSE. The second protagonist of Jojolion. Currently in college, Yasuho wishes to aid Josuke in his mission to uncover his true identity.
A naturally curious person, what we are looking for towards Yasuho's voice is someone who is polite sounding with a level of chipper energy, yet is ready to get serious whenever.
"I seriously hate him... He's such an idiot." (Annoyed Tone)
" This is a story about breaking a curse..." (Calmly explained tone)
"Morioh is famous for them. They're from a store that was established in 1903. They're a snack called gomamitsu dango." (Politely explaining to another)
JOSHU HIGASHIKATA. A spoiled and entitled man who believes that Yasuho belongs to him. Someone who is envious of Josuke due to Yasuho approaching him.
For Joshu we want a balance between someone whiny yet not RIDICULOUSLY whiny, someone that can be taken seriously when the time comes, but from the voice the audience can tell that this character is someone who is annoying to hear but not ridiculously annoying.
WARNING
Joshu says VERY DISGUSTING THINGS. If you aren't comfortable with saying things around the objectification of women DO NOT AUDITION FOR THIS ROLE!!!!
"Whyyyy? How could this happeeeen?! Just try to come up with an excuse!" (Feeling of betrayal, anatgonistic)
"Hey... Josuke. Did you hear that my big brother got back from his trip? He got me a souveniiir! Eheheheheheheh! Check it out! Looks real as hell, doesn't it? It's a spiny lobster figure! Sooo cooool!" (Bragging"
"Yasuhooooo! I loooove you!" (declaration of love, exageration)
NORISUKE HIGASHIKATA IV. The patriarch of the Higashikata family, someone who loves his children immensely. Adopting Josuke into his wealth to give him a home and a new life.
What we are looking for Norisuke is a wise sounding middle aged man yet is willing to crack a joke or two. Someone who sounds loving and caring as a father.
"The Higashikata Family would like to pay back this country and this land through public service." (Calm explanation.)
" I noticed you took off your shoes when you got in the car, didn't you? Yankis consider shoes to be off-limits in cars... cars are holy ground to them. Speaking of which, I've got my shoes off, too! The truth is, I'm also a yanki! Wahahahaha!!" (Calm and tender explanation then becomes a quick joke)
"I'm not mad at you. Eventually, you're going to get sick... I understand that that makes you feel stressed! But have courage! You are the 6th generation eldest son of the Higashikata Family... you have to overcome this trial! Be a man. I swear I'll protect you..." (Reassuring yet stressed tone)
DAIYA HIGASHIKATA. The youngest daughter of the Norisuke. A young girl who feigns innocence to get what she wants.
For Daiya what we are looking for is a young girl who speaks softly. She is 16 years old and usually is bubbly or speaks very softly. But is prone to anger when things don't go her way.
"Hey, what do you think about the misty mellotron?" (Curious)
"Fairness is rules, and rules are power..." (calm yet slightly sinister explanation)
"Hey, do you think I'm cute? Am I...? I've never seen how I look, of course... So I wonder if I might look that way... Do I?" (Bubbly question)
HATO HIGASHIKATA. The eldest daughter of the Higashikata Family. A model who prides herself on her looks. Always gets into fights with her brother Joshu.
What we are looking for Hato for a subtle influencer or valley girl kind of voice, she can be quite full of herself and bratty.
"Oh, my! Someone dropped a magazine with such a pretty girl on the cover in a place like this?!" (Sarcastic sounding question in a confident tone. Setting herself up to brag about her appearance)
"I got a T-shirt with "green sea turtle" written in red. Who needs thaaaaat!? Even the turtle's red!! What lame-ass souveniiiiirs!" (Complaining about gifts, not directly to the person, just ridiculing the gifts)
" Nobody told me that Hawaii was in America... stuff like Pearl Harbor are written in kanji, and Kamehameha and stuff..." (Realization, but in an obvious humorous way, as if learning an obvious fact)
TSURUGI HIGASHIKATA. The 6th generation Higashikata, a boy who dresses as a girl to avoid a family curse that happens to all first born males in a generation.
Tsurugi's voice is somewhat effeminate even if he is a boy. Speaking usually in a calm and concise tone. Keeping details and trying to be polite, but since he is a kid he still lacks maturity.
"Want something to drink? I can let loose a juice, or drop a pop." (Questioning)
"The Higashikata Family's goal...? The prosperity of descendants. That is happiness." (Calm explanataion)
"There was some writhing world within my home... within the Higashikatas' home, like the black mud beneath the floor under a leaking roof... Was it Josuke who blew the lid off of it...? Did I plunge into it?!" (Realization becoming scared/terrified while being confused)
KEI NIJIMURA. The maid of the higashikata family, someone who usually speaks only when spoken to, but hides secrets for the family.
For Kei we need someone who sounds straight forward and composed, yet somewhat melancholic, not crying but a noticeable inner sadness hidden well behind a wall of professionalism.
"The Higashikata Family... that family has secrets. In order to find those secrets and in order to protect my mother, I infiltrated that house as Nijimura the maid. The only living member of the Kira family left are my mother and I." (Explanation)
" You are you... I know that... It's the same for everyone in this world... you are your own self." (Realization becoming an affirmation)
OJIRO SASAME. A man who seems to have a grudge against the man known as Yoshikage Kira. Someone who seemingly never lets go
For Ojiro we need someone who sounds on the surface quite charismatic but falls under pressure. Having spite as well as a part of his usual voice.
"I have a grudge against Yoshikage Kira. So I strategically rented the room above this one. I let snakes loose on the veranda, I hid needles in bath towels, and I stuck thumbtacks in the slippers so you'd step on them." (Spiteful explanation)
"W-Wait! You're not Yoshikage Kira at all!" (Confused, almost bewildered)
"I'm fresh outta business cards, but the name's Ojiro, nice ta meetcha." (Charismatic almost)
HOLY. An ill women who seemingly confused people for objects, yet knows more than she seems.
For Holy we need a middle aged woman who sounds intelligent and even cheerful when the time comes.
"Thank you. You did well to come here. You said your name is Yasuho, right...? Come again, okay?!" (Slowly mentally lost becomes Praising)
"Whatever happens... no matter what kind of cruel things happen in this world... I can never forget what's most important... I can never forget my own children." (Affirmation to herself)
