Mechtonic (OGA Game Jam project)
Project Overview
This month I'm going to be making a 3D platformer! It is mostly inspired by Sonic the Hedgehog, but it features robots for the main cast! From the same creator you don't know who made "Don't Take My Hat!"
This game is going to be for the OGA game jam, so I cannot extend the deadline much past Jul 24, 2020 since I need time to add the voices into the game. I will try to add as many updates to the casting call as I can. I'm uploading it with little content to give as much time as possible for voices!
The characters don't have many voice lines so all of their lines will be listed here for convenience.
If you get cast, it could help to separate all the lines since it will be in a game. I wont ask for anything besides entering the audition with all the lines.
Character voices can differ from the descriptions I give them. Perhaps there is a voice for a character that matches that I did not think of!
I cannot offer much (If you'd want art or music I could give something) but would love to credit any voice actors who get cast. If you have a specific user name for me to credit you with then feel free to let me know.
If I do not find voices that I find fit, I might end up making the game without voices.. but I would appreciate the characters having voices!

I wanted to put all of my appreciation for the voice lines! I made a list commenting on each person who auditioned, and if I missed one it's either that you had a significantly better audition imo mentioned here or I just missed one cause there were a lot. If you're looking for critique then you can DM me about that. I'm not really in favor of publicly throwing critique around since I know not everyone wants to hear that, especially when it's just for fun!! Starting with the cast and then in order of R-ED to enemies while commenting on all of each person's auditions: HannahDoesVO I love this audition so much that I feel like I should have just put "Female Sonic" as her description. The execution on the lines are amazing too! Buttermlk (I credited this as Buttermilk because I misread the username. I am sorry for this!) This voice is super cute and has a unique and fitting charm to the character! I prioritized the action sounds over the cutscene lines since the player would spend most of their time in game. PoundToundHound Knowing exactly what the voice sounds like definitely helped with this one, but despite that, the accuracy of the performance on that voice shows! SillverVocals I originally deemed this as "Skyrim M-TA." After giving the same effect to M-TA that I gave to the others, I could really get a grasp of how fitting, menacing, and quality this voice really is. LaylaH R-ED This is a really good R-ED! After hearing it again I can hear that Rainbow Dash inflection! LaylaH E-LO This audition has the preppy vibe I was hoping for! This one gives me Pinkie Pie vibes. SayWhatChan R-ED I think it's a good voice. I just wish I could hear it more! SayWhatChan B-LU It is baby. B-LU is baby. Accurate. SayWhatChan E-LO E-LO is DYING OH NO SayWhatChan Enemies I really wanted to use the "I'm a useless enemy" line LOL Froboty R-ED This is a quality voice for sure! It reminds me of Sonic Heroes. It has that kind of fun vibe to it. Froboty E-LO This voice is very cute. I want to deem it as "drunk E-LO" not to be offensive but because I now high-key want E-LO to get drunk somehow. TheaSolone R-ED This voice is badass! I was really tempted to pick it. I like to imagine this is 10/20 years later R-ED when she has battle scars and stuff. deviousSprite R-ED WOW YOU'RE SO POPULAR WITH THOSE 13 UPVOTES!! Memes aside, this voice is actually incredibly accurate and I'm super glad you tried out! burbfruit R-ED This voice somehow sounds like buttermlk. I've casted buttermlk so obviously this one is quality too. CzarPentagrin R-ED Tomboy R-ED! Even though nobody else will get this but "Meduvance was here" thatothercoco R-ED This is a cute and accurate R-ED. bellad1243 R-ED Some people might knock this audition for clipping, but actually that's my favorite part of this audition. It's awesome seeing people give energy in their lines! bellbellbell5 B-LU This is an adorable B-LU! delphi B-LU Very moe, very accurate! Especially the last "rin rin" is on point. delphi E-LO I was honestly tempted to cast this one. It has that girly and vibrato voice I wanted! Dusky Boi B-LU As odd as this audition sounds, it kind of matches B-LU in a weird way. It holds that unique property that I wanted and the screams are great! gissyeva B-LU This is an incredibly accurate B-LU! I'd also want a 1% chance to get the "fuck" blooper when jumping LOL. Queenjamjam B-LU I actually feel bad for not casting this one. I had to make a decision with just one ;-; When I first heard this I thought I was certain it would be cast. I especially love the emotional part of the talking scene. The kind of accent is also an adorable twist. Queenjamjam E-LO After hearing this again, it kind of sounds Spanish to me? E-LO would be very festive so this is accurate. Florbo B-LU This is another unique audition that holds one of the qualities I was looking for. Soulox B-LU I love getting auditions like this. It gives me a kind of "little boy" vibe which is essentially what B-LU is. Komi-Ken B-LU It sounds gremlin and I love that. I love the many interpretations of B-LU! Jacobverse_Team B-LU This one was an experience.. and you know what? I'd want to experience more auditions like this. Keep on voice acting. SilXver B-LU It sounds like a little monster buddy! Cai_Jones E-LO I love that the audition was fun for you! It's a very cute and fitting voice! Synsyn E-LO I was very close to casting this one. I gets the vibrato and fun vibes that I was looking for! javachipbusiness M-TA I like how edgy this sounds. It sounds really cool. Joshua Cookingham M-TA This sounds like a Powerpuff Girls villain or something to me! M-TA does face powerful girls after all. BenGranger M-TA I was really tempted to cast this as M-TA! It has that intimidating vibe to it like a supervillain! KobeVan Bogaert M-TA After hearing this one again, it reminds me of an assistant of a villain. Like one of those guys who twiddle their fingers and say "Yesss Masterrr" and then try to overthrow the villain. JackOfKeefe M-TA I deemed this one as the "Slytherin M-TA" It really gives me Harry Potter vibes! EN1GMA M-TA That is a REALLY cool effect! Good energy too! TechnoWeirdo M-TA I like the subtle effect you added to this. My favorite part is the last line here! Robotic_Grandpa M-TA Can I just say I love that username? Also kinda gives me an old movie vibe.. like a film! TenshiHanka M-TA I said "Obey" in a cool way then got outclassed fairly quickly. Sean Lambourne M-TA I always called this one "Disney M-TA" but more specifically it reminds me of Jafar. It's so cool you can do that voice and it's really quality! grindor32 M-TA Gosh I love this one. The screams at the beginning are so good. I called it "Skeletor M-TA" but it's not quite just that. With that kind of screaming ability, I'd be curious what your A-EM would sound like haha. Joozhuah M-TA So I love this one, though to me it's "Paladin" without the "M-TA." Despite not fitting the role, in my opinion, this audition did something better. It was so good that it inspired me to make and finalize R-EEN.. and the rest of the cast. Thanks for this audition! Brendan99 M-TA Ah, my first audition, and a promising start at that. It definitely has that heavy metal vibe and the only one that attempts that! I love this view on M-TA! Jacob Mumberson Enemies The monotone nature of this audition is very robot like.. and these are robots! Nice! InkGaming01 Enemies When I combined this with my own effects it sounded really cool! I was honestly surprised how well it worked! Benwolfgang Enemies I like how the voice gets higher at the end. That's a sign of voice range! anonymous101 Enemies You went with a different script with pitch changes! I wasn't expecting this one! Andrevox Enemies This one sounds silly to me, but in a REALLY GOOD WAY! I always find myself having a good time listening to this. Thiswillbefun49 Enemies I'm hoping this was fun! I like the little oof. gregar31 Enemies It sounds like you had a LOT OF FUN with these lines! I love the energy and the WILD voice variation! VoiceFOURHire Enemies I like how the shutting goes doooooown. The second oof is also one the weirdest, most unique sounds so I had to use it.

The game is up on itch.io!!
I can't thank you all enough for this experience!! All of the support I've received for this project has been incredible so far! https://tenshihanka.itch.io/mechtonic -
Characters have been cast!
I've decided on who's voice I want with which character! These auditions far surpassed my expectations and I'm so happy people have wanted to try out for my project despite my delayed progress. If you want to ask more about the project or auditions then feel free to message me! If you didn't get cast, it might not be because of any faults. The choice was difficult for me to make, and I could have been happy with going with different voice auditions for each character. Some voices fit other characters and other voices I just had to be especially picky with in order to decide.. and I had to decide quickly @_@ Who knows? I might ask you to audition for a possible Mechtonic 2..? Though I'll need a break first. -
Time is up!!
I have the lines closed and will be deciding voices very soon. I have FOUR DAYS left to make this game.. I will try to make the best of them. I have a lot of compliments I would like to give about all the voices I got, though I might want to save that for after the jam. Thank you so much everyone for auditioning! -
One or Two days!
I'm not sure if it ends starting on the 24th or ending, but either way the casting call is almost up! If you want to audition still you better be quick! We've gotten over 50 auditions!! I'm super honored by this and am really hoping I can complete a game, worthy of the voices I've received, in under a week. So far I've gotten the movement, animations (except for enemies), checkpoints, and character selecting. https://gyazo.com/da3a5e23804dfaa64bc1944aa990532d
Only words "In quotations" are voice lines.
Robot fx may vary from character to character so I do not recommend them, but are allowed.
This character acts like a tomboy who occasionally holds a temper. R-ED could have a range of voices which could be similar to Rainbow Dash in MLPFiM, Numbuh 5 from Codename: Kids Next Door, or Buttercup from Powerpuff girls. Either that or her voice could be an average determined girl voice.
(In game lines) (Attacking) "Ta! Hya! Sae!"
(Hurt) "Ack! Gah!"
(Jump) "Hup! Tut! Hut!"
(Die/Fall) "Uock! Kaaaaa!"
(Checkpoint) "Checkpoint get!"
(Start) "Let's go!"
(Cutscene) "A festival? You hear that little buddy? Let's go see what we can do!"
"This city has a hidden weapons facility.. It's said to ensure security throughout."
"They're taking the power source! We can snatch it back if we're fast enough!"
"No problem, I know a shortcut!. We'll just bust right out of here! We'll take that power source before he can use it!"
(Cutscene) [angry] "What did you say!? ...damn it! He keeps getting away!..."
"You're right little buddy.. I needed to hear that.. Let's take this guy down!"
"Whew.. That takes care of that.. So.. you said something about a festival?"

Robot fx may vary from character to character so I do not recommend them, but are allowed.
B-LU says a lot of Japanese onomatopoeia, and usually speaks like a Pokemon. The most high pitched out of the group. I imagine B-LU with a very soft voice when speaking English.
For pronunciation on the Japanese vowels A = AH (as in "got"), I = EE (as in "eat"), E = EH (as in "bet"), O = OH (as in "oats"), and U = OO (as in "you").
(In Game) (Attack) "GASHAN! Kyaaaa!"
(Hurt) [dizzy] "Guruguru..."
(Jump) "Dadada! Guru guru! Ran Ran!"
(Die/Fall) "Kyaaaa!"
(Checkpoint) "Rin rin!"
(Start) [Suddenly wake up] "Gaba~tsu!"
(Cutscene) [A wily laugh] "Ihihi! {Eeheehee}"
[Goosebumps from a bad feeling] "Zawazawa.."
[A surprised scream or shriek] "Ugyaa!"
(Cutscene) "...I understand you're frustrated.. but.. You can't give up now. We've gotten so far.. because of *you*."
[Happy, cheerfully lighthearted, and full of hope] "Uki uki!"
Only words "In quotations" are voice lines.
Robot fx may vary from character to character so I do not recommend them, but are allowed.
E-LO is a very upbeat and somewhat goofy sounding character. E-LO will occasionally sound like an attempted opera singer. Most specifically, I imagine her voice is similar to Wayward from "Wayward's House" but less witch like. Other similar voices would be Pinkie Pie from MLPFiM, or Unikitty except maybe a tad older.
(In Game) (Attack) "Hitaaaaa! Tuuuurya! Harararara!"
(Hurt) "Kyaaaa! Hnnngah!"
(Jump) "Yipee! Hopop! Hururu!"
(Die/Fall) "Kkkktzz... Gueh..."
(Checkpoint) "Checkapointa!"
(Start) "Alrightiiie!!"
(Cutscene) "I'll be late for the Festival if I don't hurry!"
"Welcome everyone to this year's celebraaaaaation! Now presentiiiiing- ...Eh?"
"This was a setup!? We're too late!"
(Cutscene) [sad] "Well.. what do we do now?.."
"Oh riiight! We can start the festival agaaaain!"
Only words "In quotations" are voice lines.
M-TA would be fine to add fx to since he has a gas mask.
M-TA is the main villain of the story who is very authoritarian. Despite the mixed ratings of the game, M-TA is inspired by "Infinite" from "Sonic Forces" along with a real mask I own. Anything from edgy, to serious villain, to heavy metal voice would do.
(In Game Sounds) (Attack) "Obey! Take this! Surrender!"
(Hurt) "Guh! Hack!"
(Die/Fall) "Ggaaaaaa!!"
(Start) "When you fail, you'll all see the justice of my authority!"
(Cutscene) "It's those like you who promise safety with destructive tools. It has brought all of us to our limits. Many of you don't realize the power these posses, so it's safest you let *us* keep these by trusting *our* authority."
"You are strong willed, but this was merely where I expected you to arrive. While you were busy attacking our forces, I've went ahead and prepared to transport your precious power supply."(Cutscene) "I'm impressed by your determination, but you're too late. Hmmm, your execution was rather pathetic for robots... I'm always one step ahead of you, and then.. I will be granted my authority.."
"This isn't over yet.. until next time we meet.."
A role that I may or might not add to the game to make the enemies more alive. They could sound like anything, say almost anything so long as if it's not too out of place, and look like anything simple enough.
(Attack) [example] "Resistance is futile" "Attack"
(Hurt) [example] "Shutting down.." "Oof"
(Setup Security Doors) [examples] "Warning, Intruder detected" "Lock down activated"
