ORACULUS: The Murder Mystery Musical
Project Overview
INTRODUCTION
Hello, and G'day! Welcome to the wonderful, wonder world of ORACULUS, a musical murder mystery visual novel being produced in the sunny state of New South Wales, Australia.
ORACULUS is a 12-chapter murder mystery that includes multiple branching routes, multiple endings, and of course, music. Our unique selling point is our musical elements. Each chapter, or major milestone is rounded off by a theatrical musical number sung by one of the cast. These are about 2-3 minute set pieces that are based around information or narrative milestones the player has unlocked at the time.
ORACULUS has a diverse cast of actors. There are four major factions in total, with each faction hosting two actors each (aside from one faction).
We are currently looking to produce a concept album as a proof of concept for the musical elements. It is a relatively small slice of work from what is a larger voice acting project as a whole. If you end up enjoying working with us, and us with you, then there is opportunity for a larger expanse of work when we reach the alpha stage.
WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR
We are currently looking for a male lead singer and voice actor for the primary lead of the Diamonds faction. This character is stern, though soft-spoken, and has a light British accent. This role is in English.
Even if you are not the candidate we are looking for for this particular role, chances are there will be more roles we are looking for in future that we may ask you to audition for.
We are also open to negotiation on rates during the casting process, to best accommodate you, and allow you to perform to the best of your abilities.

Going into a security room without the proper authorisation, you're either the most courageous person I've ever met, or a heap of trouble. Or worse. Both.
Yes, I've heard the spiel from Belladonna. Who is, in case you were wondering, is in just as much trouble as you are.
Enough. Again, I have sympathy for you, but I also have a Hotel to run. If you go ahead poking and prodding at every faction, every business, and every person who walks through the lobby, we are going to have a problem. My job is to remove problems, do you understand?

(almost pouty) I cannot believe you’d visit the Red Heart Bar and the Swan Club before coming to see me, dear.
(harsh) Obviously, my pride has created exceptions. … and a misplaced faith in the protectors of this place.
(regretful) That was unworthy of me. And unfair on you, Belladonna.
