Momentum Academy | Minecraft Roleplay | Remaining Character Voice Casting Call
Project Overview
Desc
Momentum™ Is a Minecraft Roleplay series that will serve as a prerequisite to the series "When worlds Collide™" Where we follow the lives of Alyx, Liam, and their various friends as they make their way through their final year at Momentum Academy.
What is Momentum Academy? Why is it special?
Momentum Academy is a school for students with academic talent. Of course, that is not their only strong suit. This school has been known to produce some of the best student-athletes known in recent years. They are, however, most popular for turning out prodigies who receive their famous Potential Scholarship. There are only a handful of winners every year, and our main characters are fighting for their chances.

Character Desc
Melissa is the daughter of the city mayor. Her father was the one to bring Momentum Academy into the public as it is now, and she has never really lived it down. For this reason, when she entered high school, she took on the persona of someone who works hard and is friends with little to no one. She is not mean by any chance, but she does distance herself from everyone. This is why she is seen almost nowhere, but she is "friends" with one of the most popular girls in school. Not even Melissa herself quite understands how her life came to this point.
Vocal Desc
Melissa has a voice on the deeper end, and it is usually accompanied by a deadpan tone of expression. Despite this, her voice is never 'dry.' She speaks her mind.

[criticizing a nickname she's been given] "Mel Mel?" Are you serious, Kaylee? That's not even creative, it's dumb and cutesy. Don't call me that."
[in reply to her father's incessant nagging] "Quit pressuring me! Have you ever thought about why I'm always alone? It's because other people think I'm spoiled. I'm about to graduate, and I'll finally be out of that crowd. The only way I'll find an identity is if your name isn't attached to everything I do. I'm not going to college, and if I was, it sure as hell wouldn't be that charity in disguise."
[confronting a toxic friend]"...You think you got away with it, right? Heh, people like you are real funny, Kaylee. You're like a leech... All you do is drain people of their energy and use it for yourself. If I'm being honest, I don't know how I managed to keep you around for this long. I mean, what did you hope to gain? Money? Fame? My dad doesn't even like you. The only reason I let you stay around me was to make him think I had friends. If I told him why you were hanging out with me, you'd never be welcomed in my house again—heck, he might even find a way to kick you from Momentum because your "values" don't align. What you did today was the last straw. I'm done with you, Kaylee. You'll never be famous if you think this is the way to get there. Go cry about your vain goals to someone who cares."
The mother of our MC. She is equally as outspoken as her daughter and was an active social justice warrior in her younger years. Now, she focuses on her family and keeping them well provided for, but she encourages her children to follow in her footsteps. Her voice is that of a spunky older woman.

"Oh, I’m sorry! I wasn’t looking at the time. I’ll make it up to you after you get home, I promise. I know you can’t miss too many days. If you want, I can call up to the school and-"
"Oh, okay! But, you’re forgetting your- …Lunch. That girl will never rest."
" 'Destiny?' Your destiny isn't determined by how hard you work or what schools you go to! It's determined by the changes you make and the people you impact. Don't worry about your destiny right now, you're barely an adult. Focus on finding a purpose."
He is best known for his time in office spending resources on founding MSU. This school is known for its high academic awards and its good sports teams. Many of their students end up well-renowned or famous. They are in cahoots with ASU (Academy Success University), a new, straight-to-the-point university that produces the best of the best. It is no easy school to attend, despite the cheesy name. The Mayor is MSU's founder, biggest sponsor, and the father of one of their best students, Melissa.
This character is African American and I would appreciate it if those who auditioned also fit into that category. He is minor in this series, but major in the one that is up and coming.

[boasting in an interview]"Opening MSU has got to be my second-best accomplishment on this earth. What was the first? Well, there are really two things at a tie for first! Marrying my beautiful wife and having a wonderful baby girl. Those are my true proudest achievements, and I love them dearly."
[speaking to his daughter about attending college]"Now, Melissa, you know your mother and I want more for you. I founded an entire school in preparation for your arrival here on earth, remember? At least think about going to College. It will be an amazing opportunity to meet new friends and find yourself! Don't you want that?"
"Dear public- I am here to announce my love and appreciation for your help these past few days. You have all been too kind to me in your efforts to help me locate someone dear, and I would like to reward you."

"Business has been slow lately, anyway, so I'll be taking a trip to visit family. You guys finally get to meet some of the people that work for me! Andrew and gang, this is Kaarlo. Kaarlo, Andrew and his friends!"
Gen Character Info
Kadijah is Alyx's best friend. They've been close since elementary school, and neither of them intend on ever ending this friendship. While her friend, Alyx is louder and more impulsively opinionated, Kadijah is calm and often acts as a voice of reason. She expresses her opinions equally as loud, though, which has gotten the two of them into some trouble.
School matters quite a lot to Kadijah. While Alyx is trying to go to college on an athletic scholarship, Kadijah is trying for the Potential Scholarship, an academic scholarship for the best students at Momentum Academy. This means that, above all else, her grades and relationships mean the most to her.
Voice Info
Kadijah Has a based voice. It is not loud, but it is toned moderately low. She sounds how many would describe someone of the "chill" variety.

[consoling a friend about a bad experience, not very emotionally invested] "It's fine, Alyx, but you've gotta learn how to do better if you really see this as a "competition." Otherwise, you're going to end up with chances no better than anyone else. Come on, it'd go to Carmen's and try to get your mind off of things."
[answering the question "you've talked to Melissa?"] "A few times. She’s not as scary as she wants to be. The whole “quiet loner” act isn’t really an act with her, though. I almost feel bad for the girl."
"Oh, yeah- wasn’t that the whole reason we met up here? Andrew tells me you’ve been having some… issues recently?"
