A former animator at Joey Drew Studios, Henry Stein is a quiet, level-headed man who always lets his work speak for itself. Years after leaving the studio, he’s drawn back into its twisted halls, forced to face the nightmare it has become. His voice should be calm and weary, but with a determined edge.

"Alright, Joey. I'm here. Let's see if we can find what you wanted me to see."
"Well there's the pump switch alright, but that's one hell of a leak blocking the door though. If I can just stop that ink from flowing maybe I can get in."
"Joey is a man of ideas... And only ideas. When I agreed to start this whole thing with him, I thought there would be a little more give and take. Instead I give, and he takes. I haven't seen Linda for days now. Still, someone has to make this happen. When in doubt, just keep drawing Henry. "
The Ink Demon is a monstrous, twisted version of Bendy, lurking in the darkness and hunting anything that moves. He speaks with a deep, gravelly Jersey accent, his voice dripping with malice. Slow, deliberate, and terrifying, every word carries the weight of something inescapable.

(Increasing Anger) "Henry... it's been 30 years... why did you leave us Henry... look at what they did to Boris... look at what they did to alice... look at what they did to ME!"
"No use in hiding dollface... I know you're in here... I aint gonna hurt ya... I just need a few... words... with ya..."
“Heh… ya got guts, I’ll give ya that... But guts don’t mean much when ya got nowhere left to run... So what’s it gonna be, huh? Ya gonna face me… or are ya gonna join me and my pals in the darkness?”
The Main Star of Joey Drew Studios, Bendy is a mischievous troublemaker who often finds himself getting into more trouble than he knows how to get out of on his own. Bendy speaks with a prominent Jersey accent however, not to the point you can't understand what he's saying.

"Hey, don't worry about it angel face! I was just havin’ a little fun. Besides! what’s the worst that could happen? ...don’t answer that!"
"Nope! Can't say I recognize ya. But I gotta admit, as a devil myself, I'm always up for causing some trouble! What do you say I tag along with you geezers?"
"Oh what? Ya like the moves? Ya know, they don't call me the Dancing Demon for nothin' toots!"
Little Devil Darlin' herself. Brandy may seem sweet but underneath all that is an over-confident, hot headed, smack talker who won't take no for an answer, but you didn't hear that from me. Brandy speaks with the same Jersey accent as her male counterpart however, in a much higher range. Despite the similarities to characters like Minnie, her voice should not be squeaky or shrill.

"Listen pal... It don't matter how much of a "big shot" you really are. I don't trust you as far as I can throw you. And last I checked, that aint very far!"
"Don't look down Boris. You might fall and hit your head and die and your brains would leak out alllllll over... or so I've been told *giggle*"
"Bendy... all we know is that we like you. We have no taste, but we like you. Besides, Isn't that all that matters?"
Bendy's best pal. Boris is a simple minded wolf that makes up for his lack of brains with his big heart... or... lack of. Boris speaks in the deeper register and has a prominent gravel to his voice to compliment his larger stature. He'll be a loyal friend to the end, as long as there's food involved him of course.

"Aw shucks, Bendy, looks like we’re in a heap of trouble… but don’t you worry, I gotcha!"
"(Nervous chuckle) Uh… ya sure this is safe? Cause last I checked... Magic tricks don't usually involve live sharks...!"
"Dang it Bendy! You broke my wall! Ya could have just used the darn door!"
Sent From Above! Alice is sweet, upbeat, and happy-go-lucky, as her angelic nature would imply. She speaks within the higher to mid high range and has a very melodic style of speaking. She can be snarky at times but all in all is definitely the most forgiving of Bendy's crew, not usually being one to hold a grudge for too long.. though... I wouldn't test it
Note: THIS ROLE REQUIRES SINGING!

"Relax Boris, It's just a magic trick. Besides! I'm sure that alligator was part of the act.... probably..."
"Fine! If you absolutely MUST prank them, then be my guest. But don't come running back asking for help when they come after you for this."
(Please sing a excerpt from at least ONE of the songs provided. Both will be included within the final game so pick whichever feels more comfortable in the moment.)
The founder of Joey Drew Studios, Joey is a charismatic visionary with big dreams and even bigger secrets. He speaks with charm and confidence, always selling his ideas as if he is giving a presentation to a large room of people. Beneath his warm and inviting tone, however, lies a manipulative and calculating mind.

"There's nothing wrong with dreaming. Wishing for the impossible is just human nature. That's how I got it started. Just a pencil and a dream. We all want everything without even having to lift a finger. They say you just have to believe."
"Belief can make you succeed. Belief can make you rich. Belief can make you powerful. Why with enough belief, you can even cheat death itself. Now that... is a beautiful, and positively silly thought."
(Irritated) "Ok, let's stop it right there. I can only do so many takes of this trash a day. And tell the guys in writing I want more use of the word dreaming in every message. Keep railing on that, get it? Dreaming! Dreaming! Dreaming! People just eat up that kind of slop. Hm? What? It's still on? Well, turn it off, damn it!"
Once the musical director of Joey Drew Studios, Sammy Lawrence was a passionate but overworked composer. Over time, his obsession with the Ink Machine and Bendy drove him to madness. His voice should shift from tired and frustrated to eerily devoted and unhinged.

(NOTE: BEFORE INSANITY) "So first, Joey installs this Ink Machine over our heads. Then it begins to leak. Three times last month, we couldn't even get out of our department because the ink had flooded the stairwell."
(In Prayer)"He appears from the shadows to rain his sweet blessings upon me. The figure of ink that shines in the darkness. I see you, my savior. I pray you hear me."
(On Edge and Menacing)"There we go now, nice and tight. We wouldn't want our sheep roaming away now, would we? No, we wouldn't. I must admit I am honored you came all the way down here to visit me. It almost makes what I'm about to do seem cruel...."
A tough, no-nonsense mechanic, Thomas Connor is a former war veteran who now keeps Joey Drew Studios running. He’s seen real hardship and doesn’t have time for nonsense. His voice should be gruff and grounded, with the tone of a man who's here to get things done and get out.

"It's dark and it's cold and it's stuck in behind every single wall now. In some places, I swear this godforsaken ink is clear up to my knees! Who ever thought that these crummy pipes could hold up under this kind of strain either knows something about pressure I don't, or he's some kind of idiot."
"But the real worst part about all this... are them noises the system makes. Like a dying dog on its last legs. Make no mistake, this place... this... machine... heck, this whole darn thing... it just isn't natural."
"Although we're making progress, the client's expectations keep changing. What started as a machine to simply mold life-size figures, now seems to be teetering on the edge of magic more than engineering. Although Mr. Drew remains convinced they're the same thing."
The voice behind Alice Angel, Susie Campbell is a hopeful actress with big dreams. She starts off sweet and bubbly but grows bitter and obsessed when she’s replaced. Her voice should be cheerful and charming at first, but with a hint of desperation underneath.
(NOTE: Susie and Alice do NOT share voice actors for lore reasons. If you are planning on auditioning for both note that you will only receive one.)

"It may only be my second month working for Joey Drew, but I can already tell I'm going to love it here! People really seem to enjoy my Alice Angel voice. Sammy says she may be as popular as Bendy some day."
"These past few weeks I have voiced everything from talking chairs to dancing chickens. But this is the first character I have really felt a connection with. Like she's apart of me. Alice and I, we're going places."
(Crying/Emotional Breakdown) "Everything feels like it's coming apart. When I walked into the recording booth today, Sammy was there with that... Allison. Apparently, I didn't get the memo. Alice Angel will now be voiced by Miss Allison Pendle. A part of me died when he said that. There's got to be a way to fix this!"
The lyricist of Joey Drew Studios, Jack Fain is a fast-talking songwriter with a sharp tongue. He’s clever and charismatic but bitter about never getting the credit he deserves. His voice should be smooth yet frustrated, like an old-time radio announcer who’s lost his spark.

"I love the quiet, and that's hard to come by these busy times. And yeah sure it may stink to high heaven down here. But it's just perfect for an old lyricist like me."
"Sammy's songs always got some bounce, but if I didn't get away once in a while, they'd never have any words to go with them. So I'll keep my mind a-singin' and my nose closed."
"Ever since they started putting in more pipes, it’s really begun to flow a lot more down here. The good news is that it’s helped me to work on things a lot faster. Definitely been some of my best lyrics lately. Sammy and I even won an award for one of our songs last month…I was told. Of course it had Mister Drew’s name on the award, but it’s the thought that counts"
