Introduction/About:
Hi there, and thank you for checking out our Casting Call Club for Project: Convergence! Project: Convergence is an animation/fanime that revolves around a group of childhood friends that split up because of a tragic incident that results in the loss of one of their friends. The group of friends doesn't get back together until their first year of college, when they unexpectedly all end up attending the same university. They all try to mend their relationship, but things go very south as the old friend that caused their breakup returns with a thirst for vengeance.
More Information:
My co-director and I want to push the limits of this series. We have a very personal connection to the story and the characters, and so we want to go the extra mile to serve this series justice.
We plan on not only trying to animate the whole series, but animating some segments with a 2D/3D hybrid style with the use of blender, and we also plan on composing some pieces for the OST.
Requirements:
Voice Actors:
-You must be at least from 14-17 years old (everyone working on this project is also in that age range).
-You need decent sounding audio.
-You must be open to a long(ish)-term project, and you also must be able to work with a schedule (I'm pretty lenient though lmao).
-You should be okay with handling slightly mature themes (minor swearing, slight gore, dark themes).
Potential Background Artist:
-You must be at least from 14-17 years old (everyone working on this project is also in that age range).
-You must be open to a long(ish)-term project, and you also must be able to work with a schedule (I'm pretty lenient though lmao).
-You should be able to work with backgrounds that match the overall setting and theme of the series.
Payment:
Unfortunately, we can't supply payment, as we are not profiting on this series nor do we intend on doing so anytime in the future. This is all for experience and trying to get better at film and storytelling.
Other Notes:
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me, either through DMs on the Casting Call Club website, or on my discord @jakatosan#9137. You can also contact my co-director, Zach, on his discord @TheMobKing123456#1079.
Please note that the art shown for each character may not be final, and that their designs may change at any moment before production begins.
Thank you for checking out our project!
Ritch is pronounced just like "rich."
Ritch's voice is envisioned to be more normally pitched in the middle of high and low.
Ritch is a more hot-headed and sarcastic character, and because of that he becomes very closed off from his peers. Ritch makes friends in his youth, but due to constant fights/arguments with other main character Beden and with the loss of their friend, Ritch decides to abandon his friends and shut himself out of their lives. Ritch is pretty emotional and a huge clutz beneath his anger, as he constantly makes mistakes and holds onto that feeling of survivors guilt from the loss of other main character Faiza, who gets taken away to a mental facility for a misunderstanding (he gets him and his friends into a predicament at the time, and if he didn't waste everyone's time they could've had a chance to save their friend).
(Slightly annoyed) Great, I'm stuck with a roommate that doesn't even know how to cook! I don't care if you can cook some half-assed egg!
(Confused and Angered) How long have you been standing there for?
How much longer is this going to last for?!? People are dying, OUR FRIENDS are dying... and I feel like that's all on me.
Wolfy is a bit of a more serious and responsible character. She's mildly extroverted as well, the type to go to a party but not drink or do anything too stupid. Wolfy and other main character Faiza are sisters, and because Faiza gets taken away from her and the rest of the group in their youth, Wolfy leaves and grows a sudden hate for everyone because of how things ended with her sister. When Wolfy realizes that everyone in the old group is going to the same college, she tries to keep her distance as well as keep everyone as distant from each other as possible. She soon finally learns to give in and reunite with her friends, that all being before Faiza returns with a thirst for vengeance. Wolfy isn't tomboyish, but is into cars and motorcycles, and even owns a motorcycle herself.
You just keep working! That’s all you ever do, and that’s all you ever care about!
(Slightly annoyed) Why are you making friends with them again? Wasn't the plan to stay separated for as much as possible?
(Slightly annoyed) Wait wait wait, so you guys want me to go to Wendy's with you for some milkshakes, and you're making ME drive?!?
Important Notice: For Faiza, the voice actor should be able to cope with a character that suffers from growing schizophrenia.
Faiza's voice is in the middle of high and low pitched, though her voice can be a little more on the high-pitched end.
Faiza is a more psychotic-type character who deals with a growing condition of schizophrenia, loneliness, jealousy, failure, stress, and so forth. Faiza was allegedly taken to a mental hospital for numerous complaints of screaming, yelling, etc. (I probably won't have the voice actors for Faiza do any intense screams); this was due to her having to voice act for her friends, though she doesn't explain that to the authorities or the doctor very well. They send her to a mental facility for treatment that she doesn't need, and because of that the treatment and her time at the mental hospital backfires on Faiza, resulting in her to become far too gone; the arc that can't be solved. Faiza breaks out of the mental hospital years later for revenge on the friends who "left" her, and spends her time trying to find them and kill them off one by one. Faiza has a sense of sarcasm as well.
Where was my invitation, Zachary?
(Sarcastically) Oh no! I'm so sorry for shooting your cutsie little coffee cup!
Oh crap, well, it looks like I have to go now! So long, suckers! Toodaloo!
Principal/Dean of the university. Principal Dean cares about his students and their safety very much, and will strive to get to the bottom of any situation that he or his peers may come across.
Welcome to the University of the Arts! This is an institute where students come to learn more about film, animation, writing, and so forth.
I understand your concern with your roommate, though all of the dorms are currently full and I cannot supply you with another room.
I've already informed the police and detective apartment about the incident. We're going to investigate this killer and bring her to justice. I'm sorry for your loss.
Steve is a very laid back character with a form of elegancy. Steve will most likely be used as the driver for any type of transit for the characters of the story. He's also a mushroom man, which is pretty cool.
Hi there, I'm Steve. And I will be your taxi driver for today. Please, try to make yourself feel at home... even though we're in a car.
Oh, so you're going to Ikea? I love Ikea!
I'm not only a taxi driver, but I'm also a bus driver! A school bus driver! And I'm also an Uber, a train conductor, a pilot, and I love goldfish, too.
-Voices of any extra characters that we may need/use in our story. This includes:
-Store clerks.
-Other students.
-Parents/family members.
-etc.
Hey, do you guys wanna hit up that pizzeria down the block?
Thank you for shopping, please come again!
Hey, we were going to head up to Stacy's place to play Monopoly tonight. You down?
Please feel free to interpret this character to your liking!
Detective fox also works with Detective Pikachu in this series haha
My partner and I will look into the situation at once. In the meantime, please make sure that there is more security around the premises.
It's a shame. A second year, shot dead at a reunion party. Who would do such a thing?
Sir, it looks like we have some sort of lead. Here is a transcript that we deciphered. It seems like this is the work of... the Lysandre Corps.
Note: Lysandre doesn't really have that much of an important role in this series (if this series becomes popular enough, then we will do more with Lysandre in a future season).
Lysandre is a sinister character, but doesn't sound too dark/evil.
Please interpret Lysandre's character to your own writing! I can't really think of anything else to describe him besides sinister with a Sephiroth-type vibe, so surprise me!
What do you think is real? What do you perceive as real? If you think and see that I'm real, then you are already far too gone.
You never needed to be cured. That hospital did nothing but worsen the situation that you were already in. But... perhaps, you have your benefits.
I will always be a figment of your imagination. I will never be a figment of your imagination. I am always there. I am never there.
-A very nice and understanding police officer bear who is only doing his job.
Please interpret to your liking!
Excuse me, miss. We've been getting a lot of calls and complaints from the area recently, is everything alright?
People have been saying that they've heard a lot of yelling and screaming from this household. Would you like to inform me as to what's happening?
I'm sorry, miss, but as a safety precaution you're going to have to come with us. Please, this way.
Please interpret this character to your liking!
Hello there! I've heard that there have been numerous complaints surrounding you, recently.
I'm going to have you run through some tests, okay? Please, have a seat.
Something is up with this girl... miss, I'm so sorry, but you won't be coming home for a while. We'll be taking you to a mental facility for further treatment.
Annie is a somewhat optimistic character who really values herself in front of her peers. She keeps her own priorities in check, and can be very desperate for her own potential wealth and success. After her group's breakup, Annie becomes very poor when entering college, and only has a job that can provide her with the bare minimum for staying alive. When Annie realizes that everyone in the old group is attending the same college, she tries to get everyone to get back together so that they could start working again and make money for her own benefit.
It's strange, isn't it. We all split up two years ago to go our separate ways, but now we're all attending the same college?!? Really does feel like destiny, huh.
Money's never been this much of an issue for me! I almost never have enough to pay for rent, and I can barely afford any food at the supermarket!
That term "making ends meet" has been taken a little too literally, because that's all I've been able to do!
Beden is pronounced Bee·den.
Beden's voice is in that middle range of low and high, though it can go a bit into the lower-pitched end of the spectrum.
Beden is a very calm and collected person; he's the one to try to keep is cool in the heat of an argument. Beden is very nice, and he does still deeply care about his friends and the group that they all formed together when they were children. Though, because of their fights and the loss of one of their friends, resulting in their breakup, Beden tries to keep his distance when they reunite in an attempt to prevent more tension.
Hi, everyone! I didn't know that we would all be meeting up again like this. Wow, two years, huh?
Being in a group with all of you, whether it be for work or not... was so much fun. But you know how I feel about getting everyone back together again. I- I don't know if I can handle it.
(Passive Aggressively) No! I've had enough of the bullcrap! All you do is mope around, thinking that you're so edgy, and then when something bad happens you try to blame it upon somebody else before blaming yourself! I'm sick of pitying you!
Sora Sanada is a growing influencer, a famous star that is now making her way to the big screen. She has a high-ish pitch voice and is very energetic when on stage.
Hello everyone! Welcome to today's show! My name is Sora Sanada, the Ocean Star!
(more serious) Success doesn't come from the benefit of others. It comes from the effort and devotion of both you and your peers.
