Just to clarify because I have gotten a few questions: If you haven't heard from me yet, it does not mean I am declining your audition. I am waiting for more auditions to roll in before I choose who gets which roles, however, most of the auditions already sent have been shortlisted and I am considering you!
There are also a few roles lacking auditions, so if you know anyone interested in trying out VA, feel free to send them the link!
If you get this role, you will be playing Aether and Echo. Echo is sort of like Aether's conscience.
Aether is an AI, who was made with emotion to blend in with people, whose programming was embedded into a human body.
Echo speaks without emotion. Please do not add any effects to his voice.
Aether speaks like a normal person, so don't try to put on a voice for him.
This is a very big role. You will be the main character and you will voice 50%+ of all of the lines in the show.
Echo: Ah, you see, we are Artificially Intelligent beings. Robots, if you will.
Aether: (confused) But, I feel… I don’t know what I feel. Are robots even able to feel?
Echo: I always understand! That’s my job! To combat all conflict with logic.
Jill is a warm character, and a confident woman. She works in a coffee shop while she is in college studying Cybersecurity. She's a bit of a savage sometimes.

That’ll be four twenty eight. Can I get a name for the order?
(amused) You got a little knock on the head.
Every story needs it's villain. Dr. Thomas coded Aether as a weapon to hurt humanity. His only goal was to gain power. He is mid-40s, and talks in a soothing voice to hide his manipulation.
One thing I love about you is your… perseverance. Too bad it won’t lead to anything.
Heathens. Beasts. Failures. - It’s all you’d ever be.
Why are you tying me up? Why don’t you just kill me if you hate me so much?
Officer Jones will only be in the show in the post credits scene in episode three. He is mid-20s, and has a powerful voice.
(loud) N-Y-P-D! Open up!
Wait... you're that Adam Thomas dude! You're a wanted criminal!
Sir, you are under arrest for tax evasion, and medical theft... and I guess making killer robots? You have the right to remain silent.
