Juliet Syndrome (2nd Wave of Characters/Casting)
Project Overview
Character designs are kept private for the time being to avoid spoilers, but their first reveal will be on CCC. Think of them as little gifts for auditioning! Admittedly, I am also curious how you fare without a character appearance to guide you.
"Looking for the perfect girl, Romeo?
Then look no further than the all-new, wonderful line of Juliets!
So pretty, so dreamy ♡ She'll be whoever you want her to be.
She remembers your schedule, your favorites... even the things you say in your sleep.
And thanks to our state-of-the-art LoveSync system, every Juliet can develop habits, interests and expressions tailored just for her beloved.
So why spend another day alone?
Buy a bride today!
Built with love, for love."

Introduction: In a near-future city, YomeTech has released to the public their masterpiece: the Juliets. According to the manual, every android is specifically designed to be a man's bride. But with the company's top-ranked bridedroid beginning to question the life she's made to accept, could it be their worst mistake instead?
Founder's note: Salutations! I'm Verona, JSyn's solo founder. I handle the funding, writing, programming, audio editing, and merchandise production (art prints, acrylic stands and more!). Funnily enough, this began because younger-me wasn't thrilled about reading Shakespeare in class. I thought, why not a twisted take on the classic? And now, here we are.
Important: Even if the project's artstyle is reminiscent of Panty & Stocking, it tackles mature themes such as abuse.

General requirements: Strictly 18 and up, due to the project's themes. Clean recording, no background noise to make editing easier. If casted, you will receive access to files with exclusive lore, worldbuilding and character details that can help guide your performance. Kindly keep this information confidential.
Miscellaneous details: Not required. You may add things (laughter, gasps or additional lines) to your audition if you feel they capture the character well.
Notes: this is the second casting call wave! The first one contains the "main characters" (or essentially the ones you will see more often since the ones here contain more spoilers). If a character doesn't get casted in the first wave, they will be added to this.
Thank you for checking out Juliet Syndrome (JSyn), whether you came to audition or were just curious.
Voice Actor
Character description
A helper bot whose brilliance is greater than his size, created and operated on by none other than The Doctor. But don't be fooled by his cutesy beeps and equally-cute appearance! After all, Metatron's duty is to The Doctor first and foremost. Not only does he shadow his creator's every move, but he also follows around the Juliets... to help doll them up!
Traits: curious, devoted, eager, friendly
Note: Metatron has significantly fewer lines than the other characters, but his role involves distressful screams/cries and coughing at some point in his storyline. Please only audition if you are comfortable with that.
Voice direction (optional, suggestion)
Medium to high. Sounds like any other child, but in a way where you can tell he is not human—you'd think he is a robot, or mistake him as an alien. I don't really gender his voice and don't mind if your audition ends up sounding feminine. Although I may gravitate towards a masculine version, please don't be afraid to shoot your shot!

"You look just like a fairy tale princess, Ms. Veronica...! C'mon, let's go show the doctor!" (excited, in awe)
"Yes, Doctor." (neutral, responding) | "Lexi..." (angry) | "Juno!", "Mae!", "Blythe!", "Reagan!", "Penelope!", "Cath!" (happy) | "Ms. Veronica?" (worried)
"I-I don't wanna hurt them... please, don't make me...!" (in pain, crying and/or screaming, out of breath)
Voice Actor
Character description
Side character, secondary antagonist. One of YomeTech's high-ranking security officers, popular with the Juliets thanks to his looks. Not the sharpest tool in the shed and is quite image-conscious, but he excels at managing his emotions.
Known to be among The Doctor's trusted employees. Though, for some reason he's also one of Lexi's closest confidants in the company she claims to hate so much. Now that the tension between his boss and friend has grown the heaviest it's ever been, just where will Julius's loyalties lie?
Traits: competitive, blunt, go-with-the-flow/relaxed, self-centered
Voice direction (optional, suggestion)
Medium to low. At the moment, he's the character whose voice I struggle to describe. Though, I can tell you his vibes: he's laid-back, and confident to the point it crosses arrogance. A bit of a cool/tough guy stereotype. Despite his status as an antagonist, he doesn't sound malicious.

"You're telling me bridedroids can't get drunk without permission... huh. Sucks to be you girls." (amused)
"Excuse me, what did he just— *katanas?* At least gimme a heads-up!" (baffled)
"...Sorry, Lexi. Boss's orders. You know how it is." (regretful, solemn)
