NiGHTS into Dreams is a video game released by Sega back in 1996. The game received a sequel on the Wii. What a lot of people do not know was that Archie Comics, also responsible for the Sonic comics, came out with a comic series.
Since NiGHTS into Dreams will be 20 years old this coming year, we'll be doing a comic drama of the comic book series! The plan is to do all six issues if possible! This audition video, however, only covers the first three. If we need to cast other, additional characters later on I will post another casting call seperately from this one.
There are a few rules if you are interested in auditioning:
[1] Have a good quality microphone!
[2] When you read for a character, please give the appropriate emotion shown in the description.
[3] Have fun and show commitment to your role/ roles! Yes, there is a possibilty of being casted more than once!
The only character taken is NiGHTS! MORE CHARACTERS COMING SOON TO THIS PAGE!
Another minor role! He's elderly and wise.
[Confused/ Amazed] "Now they're sinking right into the ground... just like twin seeds!" |
Gulpo is a giant, fish nightmaren. I think he should sound monster-like. Be creative because I'm not sure. XD
[Scary] "GULPO!" |
Reala is one of the Nightmaren. I would also like him to have a voice similar to his Journey of Dreams one! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3NIAr8EhGY
[Annoyed] "Yeeesh, what a grouch!" |
[Cunning] "Afterall, doesn't it only make sense that the master would once again use the talents of your greatest rival?" |
[Cunning] "And what about NiGHTS himself? |
Elliot is supposed to be around 14 to 16 years old. I would recommend going with a Sonic-type voice.
[Nervous and energetic. In a hurry.] "Practice at the b-ball court! Running late!" |
[Happy and a bit cocky.] "I can do this in my sleep!" |
[Amazed and a little freaked out.] "WOAH! What's happening!? He... me... we're becoming ONE!" |
Claris, also around 14 to 16 years old, is a singer. For her character, you will need to be able to sing. Her voice should be medium-high-pitched, girly, and soft. Here is a link to the song to help with her first line: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S5dJIWZ7s58
[Singing.] ♪In my dreams, I can hear you calling me; in the night, everything's so sweet; in your eyes, I feel; there's so much inside♪ |
[Soft.] "Yes, Madame Puffilla..." |
[A little scared.] "T-That painting! I-It's alive!" |
Jackle is a nightmaren clown! You'll need to have a maniac, scarry voice for him! If you've seen the scary clowns in movies you know what I mean. lol
[Crazy] "PEEKABOO! I KILL YOU!" |
[Agreeing] "You said it, boss! Never seen anything like it!" |
[I just want to hear you laughing maniacally like a clown. Have fun! XD] |
These two characters are practically the same character. Madame Puffilla is Claris Sinclair's music instructor. She talks in a female, operatic voice. She returns in Claris' nightmares as Puffy the Nightmaren. This can be male or female role.
[Angry] "Claris Sinclair!" |
[Dramatic to Angry] "I throw weight around and get you one more shot at singing in the big, centennial show! SO DON'T BLOW IT, KID!" |
[Loud and Operatic. Perhaps singing the line?] "You have no focus, no talent! You'd be nothing if not for me throwing my weight around!" |
Wizeman should sound as he did in Journey of Dreams. If you need to alter your voice in an editing program that's fine! :) Add in cool echoes if possible! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y45hwQlSdmA
[Evil.] "It's finished... and it is perfection!" |
[Commanding.] "Come, my nightmaren! The moment is at hand! Gather up the first sphere of red dream power!" |
[Angry.] "GET HIM OR I'LL DESTORY YOU ALL!" |
Roger is a bully who's always picking on Elliot. He also plays basketball. His voice should sound, angsty and teen-like (Like the rude kids you hear in all tv shows).
[Bragging] "You mean MY team? |
[Laughing and insulting] "HAHA! Catch you later, SMELLIOT!" |
