Recolorbusters (Sonic/Mario based Ghostbusters Parody) *Bump for Engagement!*
Project Overview
This is a repost for Engagement! Still have some roles needed to be filled, and will be more than happy to have you! I ask that you bear with me, I am still learning the ropes on this!
WHAT IS THIS?
Recolorbusters is a fan-made parody of the 1984 blockbuster Ghostbusters using characters from both the Sonic the Hedgehog and Super Mario Bros. franchises. The series is meant to poke fun at Original Characters that are just copied-and-pasted versions of pre-existing characters, and also prodding at the not-so-normal sides of both fandoms. The series is slated to be in a radio show format, inspired by the works of Sonic and Tails R produced by EmuEmi on Youtube.
REQUIREMENTS
This parody series is strictly for fun, and to have a laugh! Although when auditioning and voicing for characters, the less background noise, the better. Professional-grade microphones are not required, if your mic is able to record audio without it sounding robotic/choppy with alot of audio peaking, you're good to go! Due to the cinematic-esque realm of the project, the characters will be put into situations where they will have to emote GREATLY (IE Screaming, shouting, singing, making noises) so if you aren't okay with that, probably not the best idea to submit an audition.
Any software you record with will work, but Audacity is preferred!
A Discord account is also preferred for easier contact!
PLOT SYNOPSIS:
Are you troubled by Strange Visions of Unwanted Courtship? Do you experience a feeling of dread every time you see your reflection? Have you or anyone you know ever encountered an afterimage, doppelganger, or any form of Recolor? If the answer is yes, then don't wait another minute, pick up the phone and call the professionals:
Recolorbusters!
After losing their jobs at Fils-Ame University as Researchers, Doctors Sonic the Hedgehog, Mario Mario, and Miles Prower, start up a Multidimensional Investigations and Eliminations Company. However, once business starts booming, the Recolorbusters stumble upon a Conspiracy that may leave the fate of their dimension in their hands.
THEY’RE HERE TO SAVE THE WORLD.

Big the Newscaster is exactly what the name implies: Big the Cat as a newscaster! He serves as Station Square's one stop shop for the buzz of the city, the weather, Traffic reports, and (most importantly to him) the Fishing forecast. If there's a story to be told, you can bet your Tacklebox that Big News with Big will be reporting on it!
Big has a small role in the series, making a few appearances throughout the show to narrate on events and serve as segues for Montages.
Big the Newscaster is simple: let me hear your best Big the Cat impression! Act as if he is a News Anchor or Talkshow host!

"Gooooood morning Station Square! You are listening to Big news with Big!"
"Traffic on Route 99 is backed up Bumper to Bumper...which means no Fishing for Big today."
"Today's weather is bright and sunny! No clouds in the sky, so that means the Yellowtail are running today!"
An ancient deity bent on the destruction and reconstruction of realities, Cygris (pronounced Cy-gris) the Conqueror is a cruel and heartless Goddess (or God depending on the dimension its in) summoned to Station Square after the Containment Grid is shut off. Her sole purpose is to bring forth the Dimensional Merge, an apocalyptic event that will merge the dimensions she has claimed into one "perfect" kingdom...and she'll crush anyone or anything that gets in her way.
Cygris is vocally depicted as a sinister sounding female, and as a Goddess, she talks loudly as if to assert her authority over lesser creatures. Her character is a parody of Gozer the Gozerian, with some elements of a certain prominent figure in Sonic history sprinkled in (I won't say their name, but if you know Sonic history, you could probably make a good guess.)
Clip for reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cti9SL4GO04
Her voice would be slightly similar in tone and speech, but not an exact copy. Imagine how an evil Goddess from another Dimension would sound like. If you have the means to make yourself sound royal/omnipresent, please give it your best shot!
