Prof. Layton and the Curious Fandub, emergency recast
Project Overview
Emergency recast for two roles in an ongoing project!
Embark on a journey into the secretive town of St. Mystere with the puzzle-solving Professor Layton, and his apprentice Luke. Uncover the mysteries that make this small hamlet tick as the search for the Golden Apple, a mysterious inheritance, unravels.
Together, we will provide voice acting for the main storyline of the first professor Layton game, to be uploaded on YouTube in episodes that cover one chapter at a time. This project was made for myself and other newer voice actors to gain practical experience, so feel free to audition for one or multiple roles.
Some Requirements:
While I do not expect studio quality audio, please make sure there is no background noise present and the audio quality is decent.
If you want to do multiple takes, do 2-3 takes maximum and make sure they are in AABBCC format. I recommend to only submit multiple takes when they are distinct in some way (whether that is the voice used or delivery).
Include your Discord username when submitting your audition, future contact will be mainly through Discord.
Some further notes:
Do not be afraid to create eccentric voices, a number of characters in universe are somewhat animated and should have a sound that fits their eccentric personality.
The game is set in England, so a good English accent (of any variety) may fit well in the setting. Other accents are not excluded, but may only fit for certain characters.
Spoiler: Most characters in the village turn out to be very lifelike robots designed to challenge anyone seeking the Golden Apple. While they should NOT sound as robots, it is useful to take into account that challenging those searching for the Golden Apple is the motivation for many of these characters. Some notable exceptions to this rule are Professor Layton, Luke, Flora, Bruno, and Don Paolo.

Bruno is one of the key characters in the story of the game. This engineer was an old friend of Baron Reinhold. He feels he owes a great debt to the Baron and has found new purpose in serving him by making a number of robots. After first constructing a robot butler and later a replica of the Baron's late wife, he eventually sets himself to building an entire village of robots to create a safe environment for Flora, the daughter of the Baron. His goal is to protect Flora as instructed by the Baron. He takes great pride in his work.
I'm looking for an older but not unkind voice for him.

(note from Bruno that is found) The boss complimented my latest model today. He's a good guy, and he's given me a great sense of purpose. I'm sure this is my true calling.
You two again! What are you doing here?! What are you up to?!
He had me built this city and all who dwell in it to prepare for that day.
Though Baron Augustus Reinhold has already passed during the events of the game, he is one of the most influential characters in the story. His main motivation is to protect for and care for his daughter, especially after the passing of his wife. In order to do this he has built a small town in which the villagers are all robots that are instructed to protect Flora. He has done this with the help of Bruno, the engineer. Voice lines for this character are in the form of notebook pages and a recording and depict a Baron Reinhold that is nearing the end of his life. In these notes he is pensive and mostly thinking about the future of his child. As these are some of the most emotional lines in the game, they should be treated as such.
I want a voice that reflects an older man who is weakened somewhat by sickness. He should have a somewhat posh accent but the voice should also be warm and caring.

(referring to his late wife) Violet…there can never be another you. You were my first, my last, and my only.
I can only hope that when I am gone, the people of the village look after Flora and care for her as I did…
I've left everything in Bruno's care now. Flora, I pray you find happiness in this life.
