Life Hacker (working title)
Project Overview
What is Life Hacker?
Life Hacker (working title) is a top-down RPG where you need to break the world to save the world. Inspired by games like Undertale/Deltarune, OneShot, and Paper Mario 64, it blends story-driven adventure, combat, and meta gameplay with world-altering tools.
What's the story?Two close friends, named Renzo and Elias (who you play as), discover an ancient artifact that grants them access to developer tools, revealing the truth that their world is a video game. Renzo becomes obsessed with this revelation, and he wants out, even if it means destroying everything. Elias just wants to help his friend... but that mission becomes more complicated when he ends up needing to fight fire with fire.
What are you looking for?I am looking for Voice Actors OVER THE AGE OF 18 to provide the voices for Elias and Renzo as "voice beeps." Think like what Undertale/Deltarune does with its textboxes. Details about the characters can be found in the respective descriptions.

CHARACTER BIO:
Elias is the main character of this game. He is 18 years old, and is initially very shy and reserved, hesitant to take initiative, often following others rather than leading. This meekness trait is strongest at the beginning of the game when his only friend, Renzo, is by his side and Elias is heavily codependent on Renzo. Despite this shyness, he is very compassionate about others and wants to help them if he is able. When Renzo realizes that their world is a video game and that Elias is the player avatar, Elias is ditched by Renzo when he sets out to find a way to escape into the real world. As such, Elias is forced to be on his own as he sets off on his own adventure to save Renzo from himself. As the game progresses and he is forced to step up, he grows in confidence and starts taking initiative, makes new friends, and becomes more of his own person.

NOTE: The audition lines are simply for gauging your vocal range. The real recordings used in the game will be "voice beeps" of your voice within that same range, akin to Undertale/Deltarune or other textbox-heavy RPGs.

Renzo! There you are! How did you get down here?
...can you at least save this existential monologue for the real game?
...wh-what do I do now...?
CHARACTER BIO:
Renzo is the main villain of this game. He is 18 years old, and he is the main character's (Elias's) lifelong best friend. After an accident that left a massive scar on Elias's head, Renzo has always felt the need to protect Elias, leading to the pair being inseparable. He is more assertive and curious than most. He likes to analyze things, is very tech savvy, and prone to aggression when him or his friend are threatened. He also plays a lot of video games, which is part of what causes him to eventually realize that his world is just a video game too, and his best friend is the player avatar. He vows to find a way to escape into the real world and free his friend, even if it means destroying the game world and everyone in it.
Renzo’s sharp curiosity transforms into a dangerous source of detachment when he realizes the world is a video game. He becomes incredibly unstable, swapping between harsh, logic-driven actions and bursts of unhinged anger. Where once he cared about people, he now sees people and environments as nothing more than scripts, sprites, and polygons. Despite his descent, there are remnants of his former self. He still feels like he has to help Elias, as he did all those years ago when Elias got hurt and formed that scar. He still views that incident as his fault, and if he can’t help Elias this time, he doesn't think he’d ever be able to forgive himself.
Over time, he becomes more corrupted in mind and body. He edits dialog boxes, overrides game systems like combat, and even tries to change his own appearance (which never works and leaves him increasingly glitched and fractured). By the end of the game, he is a broken shadow of his former self, with a distorted voice and a glitched, mangled face.

The fact that you don't even accept your REAL name... Even now, you still won't break your chains.
...you. Beyond the screen. Let my friend go. Please. He never asked for this. I just want him back. The friend I grew up with. ...I want him back.
...Still holding on? Why is that? I thought you were excited. I thought you wanted to "meet your makers." Well, if by some miracle you do, tell them... I look forward to putting them all in the ground.
