In short: The goal of this project is to create a brief introduction for what's planned to be a much larger audio drama.
For those of you who'd actually like to know what they're getting into: This project is centered around a very short script (To give you an idea of how short this script is, the largest role only has eleven lines!) that's meant to gently lull any potential listeners into listening to more episodes of this audio drama. This audio drama will be based on a Pokémon Mystery Dungeon-esque setting where pokémon exist apart from humans despite having human-like sentience. The story will be told in second-person through the eyes of the listener and the pokémon they meet on the way. However, the most unique part of the story is that it will be largely dependent on listener participation.
Just because you've been cast onto a role in the prologue doesn't mean you're obligated to reprise your role in any future episodes of the audio drama!

UPDATE!
- A few edits have been made to the script as of this casting call's release. Mainly within the tone of the Narrator's lines. If you ever have concerns about what tone of voice you should use within an audition, feel free to contact me via the project's discord or PM.
- Casting dates can be found on the Updates tab!
I got a few messages detailing concerns as to when auditioners will recieve their roles. To that I say: Fret not! Here are the dates in which casting wil occur.
On Tuesday the 20th, the roles of the Narrator and Protagonist will be casted.
On the Thursday the 22nd, the role of Ninetails will be casted.
On Saturday the 24th, the role of Charmander will be casted.
Younger sounding voices preferred! A teenage-sounding voice would be excellent!
The voice that this character possesses should be very gender-neutral voice. It would be ideal for the voice actor's gender to be indeterminable when voicing this character. This role contains 3 lines.
Oh dear, not again!
I'm not entirely sure what you mean by that...
Teenage-sounding voices accepted, but young adult-sounding voices are preferred.
Aside from the protagonist, this role has the least speaking lines. I, personally, think an English accent would best fit this character. However, this is not mandatory. This role contains 3 lines.
If that be your wish!
Your company is less than desirable. Personally, I believe it would do the Agency well if they were to fire you here and now.
Teenage-sounding voices accepted, but young adult-sounding voices are preferred.
As Charmander, you have the most dialogue in the entire script. This role does not include any monologuing lines as far as the prologue's script is concerned. This role contains 11 lines.
Oh, you're awake! Thank Arceus!
We're still a team! And team members don't leave other team members behind! You're a naggy, bratty, constant pain in my tail... You're still a part of this team, though. You're certainly not my friend. That's pretty obvious by now. But, despite that, I've still gotta look out for you. There's a sense of comradery that I feel, being in the Agency and all, and I'm certain you've gotta feel it by now, too!
Age and gender are highly negotiable!
As the Narrator, you will possess the most monologue-intensive role in the entire script. Most of the lines assigned to this role are comprised of 5-6 sentences. This role contains 9 lines.
Charmander used TACKLE!
Player defeated ELITE FOUR LANCE!
You attempt to unravel this enigma. You decide that a good place to start would be to gain your bearings and figure out exactly where you are... There's a torrent of wind coming from the east, blustery and brisk. You can manage to hear its roar. You can feel something doughy and pulpous between your toes. From this, you gather that you must be outside somewhere.
