Rainbow Heartbeats (LGBTQ+ Visual novel style dating sim) Round 1!
Project Overview
Rainbow Heartbeats has been in production since 2020! It's my first official project, but I have completed other projects while this one has been in development, including All of my Tomorrows, and most recently, With Bodies They Walk. For the demo, I managed to find 5 absolutely AMAZING voice actors for the initially included characters. But if there's one thing I like to brag about this game, it's the sheer amount of befriendable and datable characters you can interact with. Ergo, I need more amazing voice actors. :)
More information about the project:
-
PLEASE NOTE!!: If you missed it in the project title, this is an LGBTQ+ inclusive project. If it bothers you to be included in this kind of project, please don't audition. :) - I am looking to cast 23 characters for the remaining love interests.
- I am also looking to cast 14 side characters.
- Each love interest has less than 50 lines, most have less than 35. Action sounds (grunts, grumbles, laughing, etc) are required.
- Each side character has less than 15 lines, most less than 5.
- I'm looking for approximately 2 variations per character.
- No NSFW lines are needed, required, or will be asked for, but some lines are suggestive/playful. You do date characters after all.
- Audio files can be any file extension. I.e: .ogg, .mp3, .wav, etc
- You can record individual lines, or you can keep it in one single file (bloopers are always appreciated :P)
- You can record in any style you want, run through them one by one in abcabc style or with both takes together in aabbcc style, it makes no difference! Just do what's most comfortable.
- All lines will come with direction or implication. If at all you're confused at any time, please just let me know. I'll include my contact information for any attempts at reaching out to cast members.
- Please understand that the deadline is current time frame I've set for finding people interested in working on the project. If I need to extend it, I likely will at my discretion! :D

I feel good today. Better than I have in a while!

You're just in time for dinner!
I think that was just the pick me up I needed. You always know what to say, my dear.
What's going on dear? What's happening? Why are you acting like this?
Falene gives the kind of feeling where you don't know if she's playing games, or entirely serious, which leaves a dangerous amount of space between the two. A perfect amount of space, in fact, for her to possibly manipulate... she's innocent until she isn't. As soon as something doesn't fit into her plans, it's thrown to the wolves. Or rather... you are.
- english
There is something very wrong. My processors cannot determine if I am experiencing software errors, or if there are actual fragments of memory left within my memory banks.

Sorry I had to! You looked so serious in thought!
You ready? I got the day off and figured we could do some warm ups today!
Despite being a literal angel, Ophaniel struggles with the more human of his emotions: depression. He's quiet, and gentle, however his attentiveness and loving attitude is often overshadowed by his poor self image.

Well, we all have our bad days, right?

I can feel you staring, you know.

The final test is in a few weeks. I still have a load of studying to do and a packed schedule with dog watching too.
Sorry for the mess. I'm still doing as much studying as I possibly can. I've gone over my source material a couple times now to really make sure I've got it all locked away.
A bit of an enigma, Vanessa is outgoing, active, and flirtatious. She's always up for something fun and even a bit dangeorus...
- english
- english
I need a favor. Can you go to these stores and get some info for me?
Well, that was exciting wasn't it?

Outgoing with a touch of past trauma, Weston is always looking for a chance to be his best self and prove himself as a police officer. He secretly looks to others for approval.

Tell me about yourself. By all accounts we're basically strangers to one another.
I could just... stand here all day and enjoy this. Being here with you to share it with.
Zhang is quiet, and usually hyper-fixates on his studies. He doesn't catch on to nuanced emotions very well and misses a lot, but he listens well and enjoys proximity activities with others. He's a bit of a pushover when it comes to overly aggressive people and prefers to blend in.
- english
I had no idea you were here. Sorry. I guess I got caught up.
I'm responsible. I do a good job. I'm on time. I'm not wrong about any of these. How did this even happen!

Gyeong is 1 of 2 side characters that I am looking to also obtain action sounds (i.e 'hm's, 'ohs', laughter, etc). She is a controlling mother. She wants what she thinks is best for her child, and often times ends up projecting her own aspirations onto them.
- english
- korean
You and I need to have a talk.
I've told them that I want them to focus on their education first before settling down.
I'm not heartless. I just want what's best for them.
Zhang's bully. Think Sid from toy story if he was a teenager, a girl, and hadn't been traumatized by talking toys. The kind of person who never learns her lesson. Very "Karen" like.
- english
Get a life, dweeb.
He get's all weird and hyper-focusy on this stuff. Oh, I didn't even tell you the best part! He cried when he got the test back!
You're lucky if I don't sue! That stuff almost choked me to death!
An arranged bride bitter that her prospective husband spends all his time with another. Beautiful, but a sore loser. Think's little of most people, but will step aside if it's ultimately deemed for the best.
- english

It's better this way, you know.
So he sent me out to have time with you. This is unbelievable!
You don't get to monopolize all of his time like this. He has other obligations to meet.

He buys antique furniture usually. He probably has our entire 1950's living room set in every color.
I mean, unless you mean him saying he thinks our prices are too low for some of the stuff he buys. But he's never made a real fuss or anything.
Every time he comes in, he always asks if the pieces he wants are fur resistant.
Martina's mother. Very judgmental and doesn't take care to understand how the world has changed since she was a child. Very set in her ways.

Playing video games isn't a job!
You stay away from her. She deserves to have a normal life without you weirdo's interfering.

I don't know what game you think you're playing, but you aren't welcome here. So you best get the hell out of my house.

You better watch out. She may have kicked me to the curb but your peace ends here.
Onny's aunt. She's regretful, but happy, and really seems to be putting her best foot forward with her relationship with her nephew.

We weren't able to be apart of his life for many years. I want to thank you for being there. For supporting him.
I haven't seen him this happy since he was a little boy.
Michael's arch nemesis. Cocky, and puts up a good fight, but knows when he's lost. Charming, and a bit dangerous...
- english
Well, I'll just have to make it worth your while then.
Those are some big words, honey. Tell you what. If your boyfriend here wins, we'll pay back the damages. But if we win, he gives us free work on our rides for 2 years.
Let's do this pretty boy.
The Witness is tied up in Cam Moon's storyline. He is 1 of 2 side characters that I am looking to also obtain action sounds (i.e 'hm's, 'ohs', laughter, etc). He's mistrustful, grumpy, and rightfully so. His ties with Cam have meant his freedom is limited, and his life is threatened.
- english
I told her I didn't really want anything to do with this.
I'll agree to one meeting. She can take a statement, can't she? Shouldn't that be enough?
I hope you aren't all caught up in this too.
