Hello! My name is Emma or HeyItzAPotato. I am a recently returning Minecraft Roleplay/Machinima/MCTV content creator looking for voice actors to fill my character slots for my series "Running From Elysium".

Running From Elysium is a series my friend Sean and I created in 2020 in the height of the COVID-19 Pandemic. We did NOT do this series justice before, and because hold this story near and dear to my heart, I've decided to revive it to finally tell the story. While it has gone through drastic changes and extra characters shifted in and out, it still remains true to me. I want to bring it to the best possible version of justice I can, which currently, is a Minecraft YouTube series. 

I have been in and out of the community since 2017 as a Voice Actor myself, builder, script writer, production assistant, and director. I have worked with a lot of people and a lot of different groups. I hope you are willing to join the team!

Anthony Harrington [RECURRING/MAIN ANTAGONIST]
closed
Unpaid
cast offsite

AGE: Early to Mid 30s. 

VOICE: Male, Mid-to-lower register.


The commanding head of the New Movement Practitioners. Harrington’s voice is calm, deliberate, and intimidating. He doesn’t shout to assert authority; he controls with measured words and an unshakable tone. Think sharp, precise delivery with an undercurrent of menace. He "respects" President Rosaria Abel and speaks to her with clipped deference, but toward others he exudes cold dominance. Rarely emotional, Harrington’s power lies in restraint.

Language:
  • english
Voice description:
  • male adult
  • (MENACING) "Every rebellion tells the same story. Fire. Ashes. Silence. I will make certain yours ends the same."

  • (REPRIMANDING) "Enough of your excuses! If you cannot control yourself, you are useless to me."

  • (REPORTING) "We’ve transferred Nathan Carter to Detention Zone 6R. Isolated wing. No communication in or out."

Rosaria Abel [RECURRING/MAIN ANTAGONIST]

Unpaid
Role assigned to: Lavix

AGE: Early 40s. 

VOICE: Female, Mid-to-low register.


President of the nation and iron hand behind its system. Rosaria’s voice carries elegance sharpened into a weapon -- regal, commanding, and layered with venom. She is manipulative, ruthless, and utterly confident in her power. To subordinates, she is icy and imperious; to her daughter Gianna, she is cutting and unforgiving, masking maternal pride with control.

Language:
  • english
Voice description:
  • female adult
  • (MANIPULATIVE) "What do you remember about your father, Gianna?"

  • (COLD) "You mistake obedience for loyalty. Don’t ever confuse the two again."

  • (EXPLOSIVE) "Enough! He was weak! He would have ruined everything we’ve built. I did what had to be done!"

Role assigned to: Shutexco

AGE: Mid 30s. 

VOICE: Female, Mid register. Motherly. 


Elena is a former high-ranking government official turned fugitive, wife to Nathan Carter, and mother to Liam and Audrey. Intelligent, composed, and empathetic, she serves as the emotional core of her family while carrying the weight of insider knowledge about the regime.

Language:
  • english
Voice description:
  • female adult
  • (COMFORTING) "Listen to me-- you are stronger than the world wants you to believe."

  • (DEFIANT) "I know exactly what this system is. And I will never bow to it again."

  • (URGENT) "Go! Don't stop for me!"

Jack Connor [RECURRING/SUPPORTING]
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to: Ido Perez

AGE: Mid 20s.

VOICE: Male, Mid register. -- Awkward, anxious. A bit sarcastic and dry on occasion. 


Jack is a former IT college student who now works within the government’s systems and databases. Bright, awkward, and disarmingly nerdy. Jack still has the energy and tone of a student thrust into adult responsibilities too quickly: unsure of himself in dangerous situations, but resourceful and quietly brave when it counts. His humor and nervous rambling often mask the weight of the risks he’s taking.

Language:
  • english
Voice description:
  • male adult
  • male young adult
  • (FLAT, DRY) "You think the system doesn’t watch you? I built half of the code that makes it possible."

  • (NERVOUS) "Uh- yeah, sure, I can hack it… I mean, I can try to hack it. No promises it won’t explode in my face, though."

  • (CAUTIOUS) "Don’t… don’t say that out loud. Not here."

Gianna Abel [RECURRING/SUPPORTING]
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to: Fio / FeeohVO

AGE: Teens.

VOICE: Female, mid-high register.


The daughter of President Rosaria Abel and former President Min-jun Seo, Gianna has grown up under the crushing weight of legacy and expectation. Intelligent, headstrong, and deeply loyal to her mother’s vision, she hides an insecurity born from failing her assessment exams—an embarrassment Rosaria buried from the record. Gianna can be bratty, entitled, and quick to dismiss others, yet beneath the sharp edges lies a young woman desperate to prove her worth. Torn between the compassion instilled by her father’s memory and the ruthless ambition of her mother, Gianna’s journey is one of identity, loyalty, and the dangerous cost of belonging.

Language:
  • english
Voice description:
  • female teen
  • (ENTITLED, SHARP) "Do you have any idea who my mother is? People like you don’t get to speak to me that way."

  • (VULNERABLE, EMOTIONAL) "I tried, alright? I studied, I trained-- I still wasn’t enough. And she’ll never let me forget it."

  • (FIERCE) "I won’t be a pawn in anyone’s game-- not hers, not yours, not anyone’s."

Min-jun Seo [MINOR/SUPPORTING]

Unpaid
Role assigned to: DerpVA

AGE: 40s-50s

VOICE: Male, mid-low register.


The former President of the Gulf States of America, Min-jun was a principled leader who believed in compassion, fairness, and unity in the wake of the nation’s civil war. His refusal to rule through fear set him apart from the regime that would later replace him. Beyond politics, he was a devoted father to Gianna, instilling in her a sense of kindness and integrity that quietly opposes her mother’s harsher ideals. Though his life was cut short, Min-jun’s memory endures as both a personal loss and a reminder of the road not taken.

Language:
  • english
Voice description:
  • male adult
  • (COMFORTING) "If the world ever tells you to harden your heart, promise me you won’t listen."

  • (MEASURED) "If you believe obedience is the same as unity, then you’ve already lost sight of what we fought for."

  • (HOPEFUL, PRESIDENTIAL SPEECH) "A nation cannot thrive if it governs through fear. True strength comes when people believe in one another."
