This is a Danganronpa V3 rendition/parody of "Poor Unfortunate Souls" from Disney's The Little Mermaid. This will take place during Chapter 5 of Danganronpa V3 (aka the most emotional chapter that had me crying to the next day), and will be sung by Kokichi Oma, the Ultimate Supreme Leader. Kaito and Shuichi will have small speaking roles in it too!
While you are not required to have played Danganronpa V3 or know anything about the game, I would like your voices to stay as true to the original ENGLISH voices as you possibly can (ESPECIALLY Kokichi, who will also be singing). I have provided samples of the original English voices in each of the character's descriptions.
This project will require:
A Discord account
A high-quality sounding microphone
Efficient communication
A strong work ethic
Ability to take direction and correction
Overall friendly and positive attitude!
I have made a Danganronpa/Disney song parody before! This is one of Junko singing the Oogie Boogie song from The Nightmare Before Christmas! https://youtu.be/Fs6oUTM5xZQ?si=a8T1iovTV9IQHBk3
However, unfortunately THIS project has no female characters, so yours truly can't provide any of the voices. That's why I'm looking for strong MALE talent!
Anyways, if this project sounds like something you'd be a good fit for, then please feel free to audition, I'd love to have you!
Happy auditioning! MEOWY ZOWIE!!! <3
Hi everyone! So update on production for this project- it's going very well! I've sent in the tracks to my audio mixer, and I just got my first completed art piece (and it's BEAUTIFUL!) I've also slowly started the video editing process (just wanna pace myself instead of getting overwhelmed doing it all at once in the end).
My AIMED release date for this is by the end of October.
Hello everyone! Production is going fantastic so far! All three of my voice actors have finished their work, and the tracks are ready to send to the audio mixer!
And now the announcement you've all been waiting for... I've officially selected my artists! They will be @AbbeyRo and @just4ginger! They are incredibly capable artists and just an overall pleasure to be around! To all the other artists who applied, please know I had a LOT of submissions and this wasn't an easy decision to make. Thank you for your submissions and all your patience!
If you would still love to work with me, I already have a casting call for my next project up (a Sonic the Hedgehog cover of "More than Anything" from Hazbin Hotel) that I plan to start working on once Poor Unfortunate Souls is complete! You're more than welcome to apply here :) https://www.castingcall.club/projects/more-than-anything-sonic-the-hedgehog-cover
Thank you again for all your submissions, patience, and support. It's finally time for me to officially close this project. BUT hopefully I can still post updates here! If I can't, and you wanna see the final video once it releases, then please subscribe to me on YouTube @MeowyMakes!
You can also join my Discord server! https://discord.gg/Y7y7FAQK46
I hope you are all doing well, and if not, please remember you are still loved! God bless and MEOWY ZOWIE!!!

Hello everyone! Yes you read that right, Shuichi and Kaito have officially been cast! Congrats to Shay-Ki Fullalove as Shuichi, and congrats to Thistle as Kaito! I'm very thankful to have you both aboard!!! <3
I will have a friend do audio mixing for this (PressStartStudios on YouTube, PressStart_17 on Twitch, you should follow him! He also did the audio mixing for my Junko/Oogie Boogie song!) and once I get my finalized takes from my voice actors, I plan on sending my tracks over to him by September 15. THEN I will FINALLY start working with my artists!
And by the way. I've been working with my Kokichi VA this week on his part and HOLY MOLY he sounds incredible! Like, it's EXACTLY how I pictured Kokichi sounding when I envisioned this song. My inner Danganronpa fangirl was SQUEALING!!!!! Y'all are NOT gonna be ready for his performance!!!!!
Thank you all SO MUCH for your patience. It's not easy running this by myself when I have a job and my own auditions to focus on outside of this. But I promise it's gonna be worth it, and I CAN'T WAIT for the final product of this to come out!!!!!
I hope you all are doing well, and if not, remember you are still loved! God bless and MEOWY ZOWIE!!!

Hello everyone, another update from me! I have finished sending out callbacks for Kaito and Shuichi. My plan is to have both roles cast by the end of the week. I've called back some people on the other side of the globe from me, so it will take some time for them to get their submissions in, but a final decision will be made by the end of this week! I will post an update on here when the decisions are made. Thank you for your patience. Once Kaito and Shuichi are cast, I will FINALLY start looking through and making decisions for my artists!
I hope you all are doing well, and if not, please remember you are still loved! God bless and MEOWY ZOWIE!!!

Hi everyone, happy Labor Day!!! (Or just happy day in general if you're not in the US!)
KOKICHI HAS OFFICIALLY BEEN CAST!!!! Steven Jobson absolutely blew me and many others away with his audition, and after working with him in callbacks, I'm SUPER excited to cast him as Kokichi! I know he'll absolutely kill it!!!
As for Kaito and Shuichi, I'm still looking through those submissions and will be sending out callbacks for those roles today, and probably tomorrow too. Please keep checking your Discord!
For my many artists who submitted, thank you for your patience! I will definitely be looking through all the submissions and making some selections once I get all my voice actors cast!
If you don't get selected for this project, please know I will still have plenty of projects lined up that you can apply for after this one! Follow me on CCC if you wanna stay in the loop!
I hope you all are doing well, and if not, please remember you are still loved! God bless and MEOWY ZOWIE!!!

LEAD ROLE! If you know nothing about Danganronpa V3 or Kokichi but would still like to audition, here are some voice lines from his original English VA, Derek Stephen Prince! (SPOILER WARNING AHEAD!!!) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5pGxs5PMy8E
In addition to the lines listed, I would like you to sing the final verse and chorus of the original "Poor Unfortunate Souls" in the ORIGINAL 1989 MOVIE KEY, and in the higher octave too! You don't have to include an instrumental in your recording, but as long as you sing it in the correct key (D minor, since the key has changed at this point in the song) and octave, that I will accept! PLEASE include your Discord username in your audition, and PLEASE have your settings as "anyone" can DM you (not "Friends Only" please, or I won't be able to reach you)!
I will be looking for someone who:
Here are the original movie lyrics just for reference (and this is just for the audition, for the final product the lyrics will be changed to fit Danganronpa V3's storyline, but still sing this like Kokichi please!)
The men up there don't like a lot of blabber
They think a girl who gossips is a bore!
Yes on land it's much preferred
for ladies not to say a word
And after all dear, what is idle prattle for?
Come on, they're not all that impressed with conversation
True gentlemen avoid it when they can
But they dote and swoon and fawn
On a lady who's withdrawn
It's she who holds her tongue who get's a man
Come on you poor unfortunate soul
Go ahead! Make your choice!
I'm a very busy woman and I haven't got all day
It won't cost much, Just your voice!
You poor unfortunate soul
It's sad but true
If you want to cross the bridge, my sweet
You've got the pay the toll
Take a gulp and take a breath
And go ahead and sign the scroll
Flotsam, Jetsam, now I've got her, boys
The boss is on a roll
This poor unfortunate soul!
Here's a karaoke track you can use to help- https://youtu.be/l26otPGveCA?si=4XR_SsNG-ll2l5E_
The audition section starts at 2:40. You can audition with the track or a cappella as long as you are in the correct key!
My dear, sweet classmates, you still haven’t caught on? That's who I am. It's all that I live for! Nothing brings me greater joy than the suffering of others, And THAT’S why I’ve masterminded this killing game! AHAHAHAHA!
But you’ll save Maki Roll! Don’t you wanna spare her from taking ANOTHER life? Life's full of tough choices, isn't it? Nee hee hee! Oh, and there is one more thing. We haven't discussed HOW this will end the killing game.
HE’LL HAVE NO CLUE WHO THE BLACKENED IS! He won’t even see the murder due to this ELECTROBOMB, ha!
FEATURED ROLE, 3 lines. Spoken only, no singing.
This will use Kaito's English voice, provided by Kyle Hebert. Here are references (SPOILERS AHEAD!) - https://youtu.be/EnbZqz9s29k?si=6tHgFc3zpLSQI9oP (0:53 is more of his tone that I'm going for in this video.)
Ah, Kaito Momota, Luminary of the Stars, and also a best boi! While Kaito is usually a peppy energetic character, this is a much more serious moment in the story for him (if you know, YOU KNOW). So I'll definitely be going for the much more serious tone for this project. I'd like to hear at least two takes per line for this audition, and vary them as much as you can while still keeping a serious tone.
Please include your Discord username in your audition, and have your DM settings at "anyone" (not "friends only" please, or else I won't be able to reach you:/)
If I kill you, I'm gonna become the blackened, and I’ll either never visit space, or I’ll lose all of my friends!
Okay, how will it end?
But if no one can solve the case, then Monokuma will-
FEATURED ROLE, 1 line. Spoken only, no singing.
This will be using Shuichi's deeper English voice, originally provided by Grant George. Here is a reference to his in-game voice lines (SPOILER WARNING AHEAD!) - https://youtu.be/3iRoMyVswws?si=sN2YsG7lL8_yqcjJ
Shuichi is a kind and gentle soul who cares deeply about his classmates (and I would marry him in an instant if he was a real person). At this point in the story, Shuichi is finally learning who is putting him and all his classmates through this devastating killing game.
Since Shuichi only has one line, for the audition I wanna hear multiple interpretations of this one line. Please include your Discord username in your audition, and have your DM settings set to "anyone" (not "friends only," please, or else I won't be able to reach you:/)
Kokichi? You’ve been putting us through all of this?
This will be $50 PER PIECE!!! So if you end up doing two art pieces for this project, you will get $100 total! And so on (I have NO IDEA how many I'll need for the project yet). I will still allow submissions after the deadline for artists (the deadline is mainly for the voice actors).
Ideally, I would love to see art pieces in the Danganronpa splash art style (like what you see when a HUGE "cutscene" is happening in the game). If you could show me any work or samples you have in those styles, please submit below!
Please also give me your Discord username, and set your DMs to "anyone" (not "friends only" please, or else I won't be able to reach you:/)
*Say something you think would fit*
