MILGRAM (ミルグラム) English Casting Call

Project Overview

MILGRAM is an interactive music project created by DECO*27 and Yamanaka Takuya. 

The story takes place in a mysterious prison with 10 prisoners. You experience MILGRAM through the eyes of the amnesiac prison guard Es, guided by the talking rabbit Jackalope. You will have to uncover the truth behind the prisoners' crimes, and vote whether or not they should be forgiven.

There are 3 trials in MILGRAM; each trial with a song for every prisoner, which contains hints regarding their crimes. 

As such, this series is very MUSIC oriented. Though the songs aren’t our top priority at this moment, please be aware that you may need to sing in the future. 

It is up to the audience to decide if the crime of each of the 10 inmates is forgivable or not. In this project, you will be voicing one of the inmates through the series MVs, voice dramas, meme posts, and song covers.

WARNING: This series contains themes regarding abuse, murder, death, blood, and violence. If you aren’t comfortable with those things, I don’t suggest auditioning.

If you would like further references regarding each character’s voices and backstory, I highly encourage you to check out the series’ YouTube channel. For a series like this, you need to know what’s going on.

This is an UNOFFICIAL fan project. As such, we are not officiated with the actual MILGRAM project and we are not a paid project. We are simply translating it and acting it out in English.

RULES FOR AUDITIONING:

  1. Must be 16+
  2. Must have decent audio quality + mic. Minimal background noise is fine, but no excessive peaking or constant static noise.
  3. Be willing to actively participate in this project. Even if you don’t know the series right now, it’d be great if you were willing to learn about it and talk about it with your fellow cast members!
  4. Must have discord. Most communication will occur there.
  5. Must be okay with the themes that this series presents
  6. Must be at least semi-comfortable with the idea of singing at some point.

**Es, Yuno, and Mahiru have already been cast.**

Please let me know if you have any questions! You can reach me here, discord (Mika#1169), or on Instagram (Mikakucity)!

Best of luck with your auditions!

Jackalope (Prison Guard)

cast offsite

Jackalope is supposed to be a UMA (unidentified mysterious animal) that lives in Wyoming, America. For some reason he's now a guard at Milgram Prison together with Es. He acts as a guide and teaches Es about their duties as prison guard.

Voice reference: https://youtu.be/_qj-TAVCaIo

**purely for reference, you don’t need to sound exactly like him.

  • (Introductory, warning) My name is Jackalope. Look at these super cool horns. I’m not a rabbit, don’t you ever call me one.

  • (Warning) Don’t think of anything irrelevant. You’re the guard, and they’re the prisoners. That’s all you need to know.

  • (Aloof) Don’t be fooled. They’re all... murderers.

Haruka Sakurai (Prisoner #1)

Unpaid
Role assigned to: Shauntaro

Haruka is a timid and quiet prisoner. Although he does not speak often, when he does, he stares at the floor. The more you get to know him, the more he starts to speak.

He is mild-mannered and does not seem to dislike being in MILGRAM. He tries to converse with Es and the other prisoners, but since his communication skills are poor, he is unable to hold a proper conversation.

Voice reference: https://youtu.be/9aHNVWmipxc

**voice only for reference. You don’t need to sound exactly like him.

  • (Timid) My name is Haruka Sakurai. I am.. 17 years old, I think. Sorry, my age has never really interested me…

  • (Solemn, pessimistic) It’s better for you if you don't get involved with me.

    Since I was born I have been good at nothing but making people feel sad.

  • (Angry, desperate) Then what should I have done instead?! Tell me! Tell me so even I can understand!

Futa Kajiyama (Prisoner #3)

Unpaid
Role assigned to: harold ingram 🖤

A young, strong-minded prisoner with fierce-looking eyes. Out of everyone in MILGRAM, he is the most impulsive and has a rough temper. He has a strong sense of justice, and will strongly oppose any wrongdoing. When talking to Es, he protested on his own rights, and demanded better living conditions.

His tendency to get his emotions overcome him and his harsh words make it easy to misunderstand his character, but he isn't a bad person, but rather a good-hearted but cowardly individual.

Voice reference:https://youtu.be/3c5k9mZG2ZQ

**Voice is only for reference. You don’t need to sound exactly like him.


  • (Aloof, angry) My name is Futa Kajiyama. I’m 20 and a college student. Tch, what are you doing just standing there? It’s your turn to give an introduction. Where are your manners? This is unacceptable! 

  • (Angry) If what I did can’t be forgiven.. then what about the things you’re doing, then?!

  • (Desperate, pleading) Everyone else was having fun, weren’t they? What about them? Was it just me?

Muu Kusunoki (Prisoner #4)
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to: fluffyandtriesherbest

A bishoujo prisoner who seems to be cut off from the rest of Japan, and has an air of transparency. She appears to be indecisive but is actually very blunt with her words, and can’t accept being in the unusual situation in MILGRAM. When meeting Es, she appeared very wary. Her seemingly well upbringing suggests that she was likely born into a fortunate family. Either due to this or her high pride, when she runs into conflicts with others, she immediately starts to cry or whine.

Voice reference: https://youtu.be/LLiXuICKzio

**voice for reference. You don’t need to sound exactly like her.

  • (Shy) Ah, my name is Muu Kusunoki. I’m 16 years old… a high school student. Can you please not do anything harmful or scary to me?

  • (Contemplative) I’ve been starting to think that maybe I’d like to stay here forever… The outside world only ever does bad things to me. Though, I’d be a bit sad that I wouldn’t get to see papa and mama again…

  • (Giggles).. it’s all your fault.. for doing horrible things to me.

Shidou Kirisaki (Prisoner #5)
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to: Michael Aquino

A tall male prisoner with gentle expressions. He is considered to be one of the more senior prisoners in MILGRAM, and he is cool-headed and calm, or at least not easily perturbed. When meeting with the prison guard, realising that they were far younger than himself, he seemed to treat them like a child in an attempt to make them feel comfortable. Despite being in an unfamiliar place like MILGRAM, he still wishes for himself to be consented to capital punishment.

Voice reference: https://youtu.be/C4MiQ3V3YjQ

**voice only for reference. You don’t need to sound exactly like him.

  • (Calm, inquisitive) My name is Kirisaki Shidou. I’m 29 years old. ..and? Is there anything else you want to know about me? 

  • (Matter of fact) I’m not sure what you’re up to, but it’s not very complicated. You kill me, and everything is solved.

  • (Cackling) not dead.. yeah, she’s definitely not dead. Now, I finally understand the value of what I’ve been robbing people of..

Role assigned to: LoneBeatsBlaze

An easy-going prisoner who is always making jokes to lighten the mood. Considers himself an old man compared to the other prisoners but is kind to everyone regardless

Voice reference: https://youtu.be/LtTxJ262wg0

**purely for reference. You don’t need to sound exactly like him.

  • (Introductory) My name is Mukuhara Kazui. I’m 39. I guess I’m a middle aged man from your perspective. Wow, that makes me sad..

  • (Understanding) Adults often hide their true feelings, but there are times when a smile is necessary. 
    So that you younglings can keep having hope.

  • (Sad, defeated) I’m so dumb.. why did I have to dream?

A young prisoner who acts mature for her age and is always polite. Amane remains calm, despite the abnormal situation she's in. She avoids arguments with other prisoners and strongly believes in God. During her free time she enjoys studying and asks other prisoners to grade her work.

She is the youngest prisoner in the experiment.

  • (Introductory) My name is Amane Momose! I am 12 years old. I am in the 6th grade. Nice to meet you!

  • (Honest) You see! I don’t hate Milgram, either. Rather than one single law, there are other standards to judge my sins by. And those are closer to my spirit, as well! 

  • (Terrified) Ahh! I’m sorry! I’m so sorry! I’m sorry for breaking the rules!

Mikoto Kayano (Prisoner #9)
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to: CaffeDoro

An ordinary prisoner who is confused and perplexed by the personalities of his fellow prisoners. Mikoto always tries to adapt to the situation. Unlike the other prisoners, Mikoto doesn't know what crime he committed and suspects that he got involved by mistake. 

Due to thinking that MILGRAM is some sort of reality show, he acts normally, being friendly with the other prisoners, going as far as calling some of them by nicknames.


Voice reference: https://youtu.be/1S-2PiU1p38

**purely for reference. You don’t need to exactly sound like him.

  • (casually) Um, I’m Mikoto Kayano, 23 years old. Well, more importantly, I don’t think what you’re doing is any good. You should stop before something like the police come.

  • (Dismissive, then sudden realization) No, no. There’s no way I could’ve done something like murder. Wait, everyone else here has killed someone? Oh fuck.

  • (Regretful, quiet) My life… it wasn’t supposed to be this way!

Kotoko Yuzuriha (Prisoner #10)

Unpaid
Role assigned to: Melissa

A woman with sharp eyes and a cool personality. Her physique is like that of a model’s. Among the females in MILGRAM who are mostly laid-back characters, she is a rare case of someone who is logical and rational. She is quick-witted, and speaks up for herself. Due to her appearance, behaviour and words, she may come off as cold, but her blunt attitude does not bear any ill will. It can be said that she observes MILGRAM Prison even more thoroughly than Es themself, she may be gathering information for exchanges

voice reference: https://youtu.be/6Oy5ARKKADY

**purely for reference. You don’t need to sound exactly like her.


  • (Guarded, Negotiative) I’m Kotoko Yuzuriha, 20 years old. I don’t feel like telling you much else… until I learn what your intentions are. You know a lot about everyone here.. How about you team up with me?

  • (Passionate, determined) I’ll hold still for now and wait for your next judgment. I’ll make my move after that. Don’t worry. I’m on your side. Together, let’s punish anyone who has committed unforgivable evil!

  • (enthralled in a kinda crazy way) (giggles) aha.. justice feels.. so good..
