Left of Center

Project Overview

[Jan 11/18] Left of Center has been discontinued.

---

Thank you so much for auditioning!
Cast has been finalized. Understudy/honourable mentions posted in the updates.

Due to personal issues of the cast VA, Klaus was recast to the understudy.

Hello CCC! My next project is a Ren'Py visual novel. All of the info can be found on this page: https://rubyjcat.tumblr.com/loc



[^ also includes images of different expressions for each line, how to pronounce Outré, etc.]



About Left of Center:



"Garrett Emmett is your a-bit-higher-than-average Sophomore in high
school, but with his migraines only getting worse as he gets older, he
decides to transfer to a "more organized and disciplined" private
school. However, thanks to a mix-up in paper work, Garrett finds himself
at Outré Academy, the wrong school, at the turn of the spring semester;
it wouldn't be so bad if everyone wasn't half-crazy and bending the
conventional rules left and right. But hey! At least things are exciting
around here.

He takes a week to figure out whether he wants to stay at this school or not. A lot can happen during that time, you know."


Most important information:


No main roles will be cast until after April 18, 2017. Minor roles may be cast before this date. The current deadline will continue to be extended until then.

Guidelines/Requirements


  • -Anyone can audition for any role(s).


  • -Good mic with minimal background noise. USB is OK. Unfortunately, a bad mic will hurt your chances.


  • -Some form of contact (preferably email, Skype, or Discord).


  • -I can only offer the experience. This would be a project I work on in my free time.


  • -Deadlines: Want to finish this sometime this year; I do not want to drag out any project for too long. There may end up being three videos, one for each path, and so certain lines may be due at different times. As long as you think you can voice all of the lines (see line count) within the year, you'll be fine. But I’m also flexible when it comes to deadlines. If something comes up, please keep in touch with me.


  • -Content to note: Some swearing (G-Force and Santa especially, Rita and Jazz a little).


  • -Content to note: There is some Boy/Boy content in Santa’s events. Nothing explicit/NOT an 18+ game.


  • -Try your best and have fun!

Latest Updates

  • Final Update: Cast Results & Understudy/Honourable Mentions

Darius X. Machina (Garrett - retakes considered), Cvece_smileybobentertainment (Garrett - retakes considered), pforestherron (Garrett), A-Log (Garrett), Turbowitten (James), DJ Horn (James), Mippa (Pia), Jenny Currier (Pia), ARGarcia (Pia), Namafied (Klaus), skepticaldemon (Klaus), GodKnight007 (Klaus - retakes considered), Adoxographist (Rita), Felimimi (Rita), Becca Faye (Rita), bumblebeary (Rita), GlaDOS’Voice (Rita), Alex Soundz (RFC), Rattle Zing (RMC), Sword of Swords (MMC), Mintyfreshvoices (MMC), Apextuna (BM) ========== Final Message Am I in awe that familiar VAs auditioned for my project? Definitely! But, I want to make clear that previous associations with myself has no bearing on the casting process. I gave everyone a fair chance, and chose based on what I thought was overall the best voice and emotion for that role. For many of the top auditions, it was very close and came down to the tiniest of details. I also considered “voice synergy” with the other potential cast (such as Pia+Klaus, James+Rita, both Random Classmates, Band Member sounding different from everyone else, etc). Even if your voice may not have fit any of the characters this time, I appreciate having been able to hear a lot of various types of voices, emotions and takes on the lines (especially lines like Garrett Line 1/Klaus Line 2/Pia Line 3), accents, and personalities, from young to old, high to low, inexperienced to experienced! It may also be due to the fact that this game has diverse characters of different backgrounds, which is a big plus. Thank you everyone for sharing your diverse voices. I’m sure with a large variety of characters out there as well, everyone will be able to find roles they are best suited for. I’ll say there is always room for improvement, and that it typically doesn’t hurt to ask for feedback, get different ears, etc. To those who asked (or assumed I could give to), I hope the feedback may help some of you, and that perhaps you learned something from auditioning. But take it for what it’s worth! And, if you happen to be interested in my projects, you can follow my Tumblr or YouTube (‘RubyJCat’) for any future project announcements (or I guess just stumble upon it on BTVA/CCC!). I will likely invite some of you to audition for those if I have a role in mind for you. (There may be original projects, ooooh. :p) To those who may be discouraged - “It's not really an end, remind yourself, it's just another beginning.” (...did I spoil the game? But it was so fitting)

  • Another update

    Just a confirmation that the casting call will close after April 18 (no extensions) and roles will be cast soon after that date. === Still accepting auditions until then! === I have reviewed all auditions submitted at this time. There have been many wonderful auditions to listen to! (Again, will make sure to review them all one more time before casting.) === There was a little more added to the Tumblr webpage. === - As a little bonus, if you get cast for a role without a picture, your avatar will appear in the respective empty bubble on [the webpage]! (woo) - More clarification on ‘Content to note’ === Script progress === - Pia/Pollyanna's Route Script is done. Line Count of the mains for "Proof": {Garrett [500] - James [107] - Pia [166] - Klaus [71] - Rita [49]}. So that means enough of the script is finalized for one full playthrough video of the game.

  • ...Continued.

    --TFW your update cuts off and you can't edit it :( Anyways, thank you for the 60+ auditions so far! They have made me think a little more about what I want for the characters. I will continue to review them all (many times). (Anddd, you can always retry your audition again if you'd like)

  • Small update

    Office Worker was cast to Adoxographist. There are 9 open roles (CCC doesn't seem to show that). Added a bit more to the character voice descriptions: Garrett [+] A slightly aloof tone, but avoid sounding negative, angry at the world, or ill-mannered. Klaus [+] Should be able to speak relatively fast. Also, he really means what he says so sound genuine. Pia [+] Voice: medium-high to high pitch. It is more encouraged to over-act/over-emphasize the emotion in Line 3 (you can try to yell it out too), rather than only sounding slightly sad. Random Female/Male Classmate [+] One tone of voice may be accepted, although it is encouraged to try out another variation as there are multiple female & male random students (but only so many lines :<)! --- Thank you for the 60+ auditions so far! They have made me think a little more about what I want for the characters. I also have more confidence in going forward with this project. I will continue to review them all (many times). Once again, no mains will be cast until after April 18. (Anddd, you can always retry your audition again if you'd like)

Garrett Emmett "G-Force"

Unpaid
cast offsite

Voice: Medium/medium-low pitch. Not too loud-spoken, but can still yell. A slightly aloof and sarcastic tone, but avoid sounding negative, angry at the world, or ill-mannered. Should also have a clear narrating voice for the sake of this game (haha).

"Garrett Emmett, our protagonist. He has migraines that make it painful to be around crowds when it strikes so he's not a very social person by nature. He's prone to sarcasm and being doubtful about things, but he doesn't mean ill. Garrett's quite fond of retro and 8-bit inspired things though they're pretty bad when he has a migraine, making it a bit of a guilty pleasure. He's not very fond of the nickname "G-Force" for obvious reasons."

  • [Narrating] "I guess the only reason she talked to me first was to rub the chicken nuggets in my face, but I don't really care. Let's get to that boss battle now."[Narrating] "Damn it, after the boss switched forms he recovered all his HP _and_ SP! This is gonna take me another ten minutes of my life whittling his health down again."

  • [Sigh, Sarcasm] "Gee, I feel a lot better about myself already now that you're judging me based on a test result."

  • [Annoyed/Mad] "Hell no you don't, get away from me!"[Comedic, Yelling, More Shocked and Confused than Angry] "WHAT THE F*** ARE YOU DOING?!" "HOW THE HELL ARE YOU EVEN STAYING UP ON THE WALLS- WHAT THE F***?"

Dr. James Han "Jazz Hands"

cast offsite

Voice: Medium-low. Has a sense of humour/chill, but still intellectual and professional. Would imagine a "smooth" voice, but perhaps an easygoing, rougher voice can work too.

"Dr. James Han is Garrett's homeroom teacher, although that's Dr. "Jazz Hands" to you. A teacher first and psychologist second, he enjoys interacting with his students and is pretty chill. As his nickname implies, he enjoys listening to jazz in his free time."

  • [Happy/Laugh] "'Sir?' Ha, and here I thought kids only used that word ironically these days, or if they're from that other place. You pullin' my leg here?"

  • [Unseen expression, teaching] "Even as our world grows more and more specialized, it's important to know the basics from other fields of study. You don't want to start looking like an ignoramus in front of your friends, now do you? If push comes to shove then you may resort to BS..."

  • [Concerned] "All of you kids are rebels and punks nowadays, what happened to respecting authority and order? The world I once knew is falling towards anarchy."[Sad] "You children make me very sad."

Pia Ortize "Pollyanna"
closed
Unpaid
cast offsite

Voice: Medium-high to high pitch.  Does not swear. Friendly, optimistic, sweet and sincere. Not too soft-spoken. ***It is more encouraged to over-act/over-emphasize the emotion in Line 3 (you can try to yell it out too), rather than only sounding slightly sad.

"Pia Ortize is your textbook example of a Pollyanna, which happens to be her nickname. She believes the best in everyone and wants to help everyone achieve their maximum potential, so she's always out there to lend a helping hand. As an advocate for several causes, she walks around campus with a sign and talks to anyone who's curious, avoiding initiating an unwanted conversation since she knows those aren't effective. She's well liked among her circles."

  • [Surprised] "Really?! Oh my god you must be really hungry, let's hurry up and get some food so we can start eating then."

  • [Holding a "GO GREEN" sign, Neutral] "Oh, sure thing! As you know, beverage containers come in glass, aluminum cans, or plastic. If you have three boxes you can spare, I find it a lot easier to separate them from the get-go."

  • [Sad/Angry, gradually talk faster] "Santa, calm down! Of course he wouldn't l-leave without t-telling us, G-Force would never do that! He'd see us first and tell us he's sorry that he has to go and hug us all goodbye and we'd exchange contact information and promise to see each other at graduation and and and-"

Klaus Nikolayev "Santa"

Role assigned to: dj horn

Voice: Medium/medium-high pitch. Has some yelling lines. Should be able to speak relatively fast. Friendly, light-hearted, energetic, and cool. Under his joking manner, he really means what he says so sound genuine. His tone noticeably changes when he is serious. ***(His speaking voice could be medium, and yelling medium-high)

"Klaus Nikolayev is the self-designated class clown, and he's quite popular around campus. Even without having a nickname like "Santa," Klaus is generous and kind, willing to go the extra mile for his buddies. He's friendly, energetic, and easy to get along with, but don't talk shit or you'll get hit. Seriously. He lifts so you don't wanna mess with the stuff he cares about."

  • [Happy, Impressed] "G-Force! You're the best, you know that? I love you. In a totally platonic manner if you don't swing that way.

  • [Freaking Out, Yelling] "OH MAN WHAT IF HE REALLY LEFT ALREADY AND HE'S ALREADY AT OCTARDS?! WAS IT SOMETHING I SAID? IT'S ALL MY FAULT HE'S GONE HE HATES ME HE'S-"

  • [Scared, Serious] "... Are you mad at me, for any reason at all? If you do leave Outré, am I just going to be a blink in your memory, just another classmate you spent some time with? What am I to you, Garrett?"

Rita Alindogan "Lovely Rita"
closed
Unpaid
cast offsite

Voice: Medium/Medium-low pitch. Somewhat monotone and tired-sounding, but not too cold or unfriendly (unless she is angry). Her voice could have a "sassy" kind of feel as she has a rockstar attitude. Could be soft-spoken, but definitely not loud-spoken.

"Rita Alindogan is a drummer in a school rock band named the Counting Cards. Although you wouldn't think she'd mind being called "Lovely Rita" around campus, she would rather you left the adjective out while addressing her. Cold, reserved, and cool, she probably has better things to do than talk to you."

  • [Neutral] "Which is a great excuse if a teacher "catches you cheating." If they accuse you of copying answers, just say that you tapped into the knowledge of the morphogenetic field."

  • [After asking about Garrett's personality type, Happy] "Pft, hahaha! That explains so much, you don't even know. I'm INTJ, by the way."

  • [Unseen Expression, assumed Angry, talking with Jazz] "Alright, look here you little dipsh*t. You're paid to care so it's not like you really mean what you say..."

Unseen students. As there aren't many lines, I'd like to cast one person who can do two different voices. As for tone, it should fit in with the game. Think not caring about schoolwork, lazy, rebellious, wants to have fun, sarcastic, etc.


***One tone of voice may be accepted, although it is encouraged to try out another variation as there are multiple random students (but only so many lines)!

  • "Yeah, this knowledge isn't very applicable to real life so we shouldn't have to worry too much about this material, Dr. Jazz Hands."

  • "Yo guys, I think you're freaking him out. Give him some space."
