Let's Play and Perform Final Fantasy VII
Project Overview
Seeking 21 and over participants for "Let's Play and Perform Final Fantasy VII".
Logline: A mercenary joins an eco-terrorist group to stop a mega-corporation from draining the planet's life force.
Yes, this is the legendary Final Fantasy VII. This is a chance for those who always wanted to play through the original and perform as one of the characters amongst a group.
It is not necessary to be familiar with FFVII. It would be lovely to have people on board who will experience the story for the first time. Those interested in experiencing the story and game are best suited as opposed to those who are only in it waiting for their lines.
Although this is the original version of Final Fantasy VII, it will be played with mods so the English translation is entirely new (Shinra Archaeology Cut) with cut content restored and some quality-of-life changes such as 60fps and widescreen support.
What is a "Let's Perform" ?
They are akin to cold reads and table reads. They are done for fun and for practice, basically to provide an English dub when the game has either no voice acting or voice acting in another language. The performances are live-streamed to Twitch and uploaded to YouTube for archival purposes. The game's screen is streamed to Discord for participants to read their character lines, while the game is played. Examples of past sessions can be found at

Through Parsec (a free application where one connects to another computer), participants will be able to control their characters. So those auditioning for a playable character will need to be able to do their own "stunts." Don't worry, battles are simple and party members will be there to help.
Although this is technically voice acting, my approach is more akin to on-camera acting due to the live aspect and the mandatory requirement of having cameras on for Discord. This is so you can look at your scene partners and deliver your lines to them. If you're a voice actor, I still encourage you to apply if you're interested.
When Are the Streaming Sessions?Sessions will typically be on Saturdays at 11:30 PM EST. Each session lasts roughly two hours.
Please understand that when you're commit to this project, you will commit to showing up. If you will be absent, please let me know in advance. Unexplained absences or last minute cancellations due to events within your control are not acceptable. If you have a variable work schedule on Saturday night or health conditions, this will not be a good project for you.
Casting TimelineThis post will stay up until I have cast all roles. Potential candidates who submit a good audition will have a live callback for the next round over Discord.

PLAYABLE CHARACTER.
A 27 year-old man skilled with guns. Dark and brooding over his past experiences, Vincent conceals many secrets. He speaks in a cryptic manner when he talks about his past, calling his traumas "sins". Despite his cold personality, he is not uncaring.
I'm not specifically looking for a deep voice ala Matthew Mercer from REBIRTH. I'm more concerned about the voice having qualities of cold, dark, and brooding.
There is an immediate need for Vincent.

Who dares disturb my slumber? Well?
Your tale has only increased my burden. It seems I've one more sin to atone for.
I'm sure I can be of assistance. I AM an ex-Turk, after all…

He is upbeat, optimistic, kind, and driven, beaming with enthusiasm and energy, even under dire circumstances. His energetic nature is coupled with a short attention span and restlessness, which earned him the moniker "Zack, the Puppy" when his mentor spoke of him to others.

30 year-old legendary soldier. Sephiroth was one of the most lauded success stories of the Shinra Electric Power Company's Soldier program. His accomplishments in the field of battle during the conflicts surrounding Shinra's bid for global domination led to his status as a celebrity war hero and the poster boy for both the Shinra Military and the company's Soldier program. Learning of his true origins drove him insane, begetting a compulsion to destroy the world in his mad pursuit of godhood.
As a Soldier before his madness, Sephiroth was cool, calm, well-spoken, and graceful, maintaining a professional demeanor.
Sephiroth has two more scenes left in the playthrough.

Our mission this time is to survey a run-down reactor. There’s been a spate of malfunctions, not to mention reports of savage animals. We’ll have to take care of them and locate the source of the problem. Once we do, our orders are to neutralize it.
Mother, they have come again. You should have ruled this planet. You were stronger, smarter. But they came... Those inferior dullards... They came and took this planet away from you and your people. But there’s no need to be sad, Mother.
Don’t pretend you’re sad. Why tremble with anger that’s not even there? After all, Cloud... After all... You’re just a puppet.

Lucrecia suffers from an extreme guilt complex due to her actions that have directly and indirectly caused harm to many. Though she has a kind and caring soul, she tends to ignore the realities of life and convince herself to believe only what she wants to believe, leading her to making brash and detrimental choices. Being a scientist, she is prepared to take risks for her research and engage in unethical pursuits for her studies, something she, albeit to a lesser extent, shares with her colleague Professor Hojo. She can be emotionally volatile and stubborn, lashing out angrily at Vincent when he voiced doubts and fears over what harm her research could cause.

*Say something you thinkI wanted to disappear... I couldn’t bear to be with everyone... I wanted to die... But the Jenovah cells inside me wouldn’t allow it... would fit*
A mother... incapable of holding her own child... Can you even call that a mother? You speak of your sin... That was mine...
No! Don’t come any closer!
