PROJECT INFORMATION

I've been developing the story and characters for about a decade and am ecstatic to present them to you.
Over the years, many incarnations of the story and characters have manifested through various mediums.


QUICK SYNPOSIS:

Cyn's world is turned upside down when her mom suddenly vanishes. She sets out to find her, only to find herself submerged in an abstract reality and surrounded by equally abstract individuals. Luckily, she manages to make some friends, who help her navigate from one strange place to the next, in search of her mom.


A great video on the basics of voice acting and audio equipment.

"Big disclaimo: If you're into voice acting as a fun hobby, and don't actually want be good, leave, 'cause no one's got time for your ass."


Dearly rejected,

Many of the rejected auditions were great performances, but not the voice I'm looking for.
A lot of the auditions for Cyn were rejected simply because they didn't sound like a child's voice.
Additionally, many auditions didn't meet my standard of audio quality.

A million thanks for auditioning!

Latest Updates

  • 1,000+ auditions!

    As we pass one-thousand auditions, I wanted to take a sec to send my gratitude to everyone who took the time to audition for Project C13!

    The sheer number of auditions to choose from has given me the opportunity to work with the right voice for each characters, and portray them as intended — if not better.

    So really, thank you so much everyone.

    -

    In March, I’ll be putting together a little explainer video, to shed some light on the production of this project, without revealing much in regards to plot and characters.

    If there’s anything in particular you guys are interested in seeing, shoot over a message or leave a comment with your suggestions.

    -

    Also in the works is a project website, which will feature concept-art, select storyboard panels, and C13 art prints for purchase to support the project.

    Anyway, the role of Image is still open, and I’ve added a couple additional lines (plus altered one of the original lines).

    I also need a deep voice for a Hotel Security Guard.

    -

    For now, there will be a few small role posted here and there as needed. There will be another wave of open roles further down the road.

    In the meantime, I’ll continue cranking out these panels.

    All the best!

    Cyn - $100
    Sky - $100
    Mack - $50

  • Original animatic storyboard is now an ambitious visual novel

    OK people!

    Sorry for the utter lack of updates, I've been slaving over working diligently on this project, and am thrilled to say I'm making a lot of progress!

    The main thing I wanted to announce is that the storyboard is now a visual novel.

    A lot of the frames from the storyboard have been carried over into the game.

    For more information, check out the "About This Project". It's been updated, finally.


    There are now 9 open roles total.

    Roles for a nanny, desk clerk, parrot, and a talking cat have been added to the meowmix.

    There's plenty more to come.


    Cheers

Image

Unpaid
Role assigned to: Melody Muze

Image is a sexy shapeshifter who understands people better than they understand themselves.
She's savvy, confident, and always three steps ahead of everyone else.

Her speech is upbeat and punchy. She’s not over the top or anything, just strong and sure.  She should sound like she’s stating the obvious, just reporting the truth (even if she’s straight up lying).
There’s a mischievousness to her, an eeriness.  She has a playful aggressiveness to her.
There’s more to her than meets the eye—she’s a shapeshifter after all.

Image should sound approximately between the age of 25 and 35.
She does not possess a loving, motherly voice.
And please don’t audition if you sound like a child.

A good portion of Image’s dialogue is with Cyn, who is very suspicious of her.  She's talking to Cyn in all the audition lines.
The dynamic between Naota and Haruko (FLCL) in this little sequence  is similar to that of Cyn and Image. Note the tension--it's not all happy-go-lucky.

As for tone:
Really can’t beat Laura Bailey’s sexy voice.

Unless you happen to be Susan Egan.

Image has a different personality than these characters, so I'm not looking for an imitation of them. They're just who come to mind when I think of voices that would work for her. 

ADDITIONAL AUDITION LINES:

"I'm simply a delight to have around the house. Watch. I’ll take out the trash."

"Beats me. Go ask that brain injury girl. She might just be onto something. "

  • It's called telepathy, kiddo. Listen, I'll check in with you during the commercials.

  • Then apparently you haven't thought this through. If you get caught, your dad's credibility is fucked and so are your chances of finding your mom.

  • This is my favorite show! I can feel the gravitational pull of the couch multiplying!

Additional audition lines:

"YOU'RE FUCKING DEAD!"

"Listen up. There's something I need you to understand... I'm going to completely embarrass you by whooping your ass backwards, savvy?"

  • Well that was anticlimactic.

  • I knew you'd run into trouble out here. I can't believe Wolf would let a defenseless kid just wander into the wilderness unsupervised.

    (to herself)

    Then again, he totally would do something like that...

  • Let's go kid. I wouldn't want you to get brain shrapnel all over that cute face of yours.

Cyn's dad, Jack, is determined to use his skills as a detective to find his wife.
He is a professional, upstanding man.
He speaks clearly, effectively, and strongly.

He's a good guy, but keep in mind his wife has vanished, so he's not happy-go-lucky.

  • I'll be joining the investigation immediately after this interview.

  • Honestly, it's all we have to work with.

  • That's the biggest understatement I've ever heard.

The dramatic commentary of a Japanese announcer!

It’s for a spoof of Sasuke (Ninja Warrior) — one of the characters is a fan addict.

Requires varying levels of intensity, steady increases, and sudden outbursts.

I'm also open to a  gibberish imitation.


  • Yamada Hanako is just sixteen years old!

    The school girl says she’s a diligent student by day, and deadly assassin by night — but we have our doubts!

    She leaps across to the first obstacle, and lands on her face! She topples into the mud!

Typical TV news anchor voice.

Go for a tone that is appropriate for the topic of missing women and children.

  • Samantha Laster, the thirteen year old daughter of one of the women, went missing last friday night after being checked out of a London hospital for a brain injury.

This witch is one tough cookie. Tabby's is V's brutally honest pal who brews potions and poisons for a living.

Her speech is cut-and-dry, almost to the point of sound rude.  She speaks firmly, confidently, and sharply. There's an undertone of aggression in everything she says.

  • Some thing to say, girly pie? ((equivalent to "What are YOU looking at?"))

  • You've ruined my brew, missy. Apologize before I force-feed it to you.

  • Fuck. Sorry, sorry. Sweetheart, you know I'd drink the poison myself before making light of what happened to you.

This is NOT a paid role — $0

The website requires atleast $5 per role on paid projects, but this guy only has one short line, and I’m not making a whole new project just to cast him.

The aforementioned lumbering oaf.

He's always looking for a fight, and has a deep growl of a voice.

Needs to sound like a big guy.

-

I did a take of him as a placeholder in the scene, which I’ve uploaded as the first audition. So check that out if you’d like something to go off of.

-

His line is a response to: “You really gonna let that boob bark orders at you? Have some self respect.”

And he says it while reaching for the neck of said ‘troublemaker’.

He sounds delighted at the chance to get violent.

  • He can bark all he wants, as long as I get to drag troublemakers out by their scrawny necks.

Cyn

Role assigned to: maria_b

Cyn is a sharp witted kid who is depressed about her mom's disappearance.

She is emotionally guarded, and tends to come off strong and indifferent.

Her speech is concise, matter of fact, and to the point.

Cyn is probably the most balanced character. She is surrounded by very extreme personalities. She's usually level-headed and focused on her goal—finding her mom. She is very determined and brave. She's a good kid, but not a goody-two-shoes.
I said, "[She] tends to come off strong and indifferent," but don't mistake this for bratty or snotty; she just comes across like she believes in whatever she's saying. She's not particularly charismatic or confident, but knows which questions to ask. She's very observant and intelligent.

  • They're never going to find her. It's been five months and their only lead is the hallucination of some brain injury patient.

  • Funny you've never heard of England when you speak perfect English. (She actually finds it funny.)

  • Gee, who pissed in your meow mix?

Mack's a good guy, but he's got edge. He's always light-hearted and easy-going. 

He speaks confidently and  as though he's amused by everything going on around him.

  • You aren't from around here, are you kid?

  • There's a bunch of signs pointing the way.

    (to himself)

    Assuming they haven't been destroyed by bandits...

    (to Cyn)

    Oh yeah! Watch out for bandits!

  • Hold on. I'm going, I'm going. Relax. I can be a little dense sometimes, but not enough to pick a fight with someone who can throw a lumbering oaf across the room like it's nothing — which, by the way, was hot as hell!

This kitty's very condescending, in a cool, collected way.

Cyn needs a nanny to look after her while her dad is busy trying to solve the mystery of her mom's disappearance.
She's so phony sweet she makes you want to vomit. She talks to Cyn the way people talk their pet—as though they love them more than anything in the world, but see them as an unintelligent, inferior creature.

  • I hate to say it... but those poor women are probably dead.

  • It would break my heart to see you get your hopes up just to have them shattered.

  • Let's look at the bright side, okay? Now we get to spend some quality time together!
