Serenville Stories - Invisible
Project Overview
Serenville Stories is a collection of short Machinima tales created using The Sims 4. Invisible is the first of these tales set in the Serenville universe and follows the exploits of Hannah Park as she negotiates her way through the perils of high school.
We require several voice actors for a variety of characters including lead, supporting, and minor.
Lines will need to be submitted in mono Mp3 format via Google Drive link.
You will need to have a Discord account for ease of communication with other VAs and the Project Lead.
You will need to stay in consistent touch with us (check in weekly) on the Discord channel, so that we know you're still alive!
Lines to be submitted by the deadline date. If you are going to be late , please give as much notice as possible, and we can extend the deadline a bit.
Failure to give notice or failure to stay in touch on Discord (see above) will result in you being kicked from the project and the role recast.
When recording, ideally the files you submit will have little to no background noise.
Please note, this is an UNPAID project, so would be ideal for those starting out in VA or looking to gain more experience at working within a team.
If you have been cast, please use this link to join the Discord server and announce yourself to our Mods who will provide the appropriate permissions for you. https://discordapp.com/invite/RMTfMEX

Latest Updates

I want to thank each and every one of you who auditioned for the role of Azazel. The response was incredible with 50+ submissions! After reducing that number to just 3 potential VAs, we have decided that Ignis Ferrum's audition pretty much nailed the sound we were looking for in the demonic character. I would like to say welcome to the team Ignis! - Rich

Recording Tips
Based on the auditions for Azazel that I've listened to so far, there are a couple of basic tips that I would like to offer when auditioning in general. 1. Please, please, please use the same equipment to record your audition that you would use to record the lines if you had been cast for the role. Using your phone or any other low quality recording equipment gives a very bad first impression. 2. Please, please, please be familiar with your recording setup from hardware to software. I have encountered more than one audition with horrendous background noise. This, like the point above, creates a terrible first impression and will knock you out of the running no matter how talented a VA you are. These two tips are very easy to deal with and are basic requirements for any half decent VA. Rich. -
NEW ROLE!!
The subject title says it all! After two hugely enjoyable and successful episodes of Invisible, upcoming episodes will see a new character introduced to the series. We are looking for a male VA to supply us with a voice for the demonic Azazel. Who wants to channel their inner evil for the series? Deadline is 24th April. Many Thanks - Rich -
The Cast Has Been Finalised
Hi All, I want to thank everyone who has auditioned for Invisible and show my appreciation for your efforts. As the title suggests, we have made our choices and the VAs in question will receive a notification and comment shortly on their success. To those who have been unsuccessful this time around, please do not be disheartened. It may not have been down to anything you did wrong, but more that you just didn't quite fit the character we wanted at this time. If you want any feedback on your auditions, please get in touch, so that I can advise. Thank you again, Rich. -
Leading Lady Cast!
Hi everyone! Although it's a few days early, we have found our Hannah Park in the form of the super talented Allie Goodell. Although there were many high quality auditions for the role, in the end we found that Allie's performance resonated most closely with the original idea of the character, both in sound and emotion. For those who have been unsuccessful in this particular role, there are still a few days left and many other characters that you could potentially audition for if you haven't already. Thank you again for all the time and effort that you've invested in your auditions. Rich.
Not much is known about this supernatural demon, but in the last few episodes, he seems to have a connection to Tia Serendipity and only she can see him. He tries to bring her down by bringing her deepest insecurities to the surface.
**PLEASE NOTE** Although it says North American as the accent, we're not actually specifying the accent at all. CCC won't allow an 'any' option.
(Condescending) "I'll never understand humans. Why do you waste your pathetic lives trying to please everyone else? If only you realised nobody cares about you. In fact, I would go as far as saying they *hate* you. You poor miserable creature! (Evil Laugh)"
(Aggressively) "You've made everything worse just by your mere existence, so why don't you do all of us a great big favour and... (Loses temper) END IT! (Composes self, jokingly) Funny thing is... that might even be the only useful thing you ever do! (Laughs Maniacally) "
Please provide an evil laughter mix.
The embattled heroine of Invisible. She is quite the glass half empty type of person and has very obvious trust issues. Is very much lost in world and can never truly be a part of it until she can settle her own internal struggles.
(Internal Monologue) "You ever notice how the world can forget about you in the blink of an eye? People pass us by every day and they'll look at you, (slight pause) but do they really see you?"
"No...not really. My Mom just encourages me to record my thoughts and feelings. She thinks it'll help with all that 'teenage angst'"
(Sad) "And just like that, (slight pause) she was gone and somehow, I felt more alone than before. I didn't think that was even possible"
Used to be Hannah's best friend, but they stopped hanging out when she started seeing Chase. Quite a cold person and self obsessed.
(Calmly) "We see the same things and the same faces every day, but we're too scared to move on and pursue what we really want....just because we're comfortable"
"I wanted you to be the last person I said goodbye to because, well....you were the first person I met when I moved here. It just seemed the right thing to do."
Chase used to be friends with Hannah before starting to date Luna. Son of the Principal and brother to Luci Spectre. Academically inclined, but by contrast very socially awkward. Stumbles over his words.
(Olive Branching) "I see Hannah Park still hasn't lost her sense of humour at least."
"Luna wanted me to give you a message...she asked if you can go to 'the place' after school. She's got something she needs to tell you."
Everybody knows who Chloe Taylor is, and if somehow you don't, she'll make sure you do soon enough. She's the Head of the cheerleading squad, Miss Popular, and very bossy with it. If you're not part of her group, you're not worth knowing.
(Confidently) "You're right as always Mel. (Ordering) So...as your Queen, this is my royal decree girls...Gym. Tomorrow morning. We're gonna drill this till we drop!"

(Threatens) “Do not interrupt her you germ!”

(Jokingly) “Don’t you think this is kinda pointless? You practically purged the entire female student body last time we held tryouts.”
A very short tempered member of the Drama club, Dylan's mood isn't helped with the constant bullying that he receives from the Jocks (mainly Kyle Jackson). Understandably hates them as a result. Is homosexual, but that isn't the reason for the bullying... or is it?

- (Jokingly) Can we make it 15 minutes? A masterpiece of such destruction takes time y’know…”
A member of the Jock community and also the Student Body President. Wields great charisma. Knows his best friend Vince Magnotta manipulates him, but seems okay with it.
- (Disappointed) Alright, that’s enough guys! You think arguing in the hallway makes us look good?We’re Sabers. We’re all brothers here, united we stand divided we fall right?
- (Angry) Is this a joke to you? Vandalising school property!? As student body president I have half a mind to speak to the Principal about this!

Miss Dawson is an Art teacher who believes in nurturing her students in order to draw out any innate artistic talent. Tries to support Hannah in following her own passions rather than living up to her mother's expectations.
- (Impressed) “You know, I wouldn’t normally encourage graffiti on books, but you’re quite the artist.”

A Music teacher with serious debt issues. Because of this, he is in the extreme situation of living out of his car. Has the dubious honour of supervising the kids in detention.

-“Not a problem, as long as you’re working on the performance you’ve got free reign of the school and it’s facilities.”
Amelia Cunningham's grandmother and only guardian. Has seen it all and it shows in her worldly-wise approach to all things. Is very kind.
- (Corrects Hannah) No, no… it’s Mrs Cunningham dear. Amelia’s grandfather is very much alive in my heart still.

Hannah's dad. A stay at home parent who is very kind and patient. These traits are especially useful when playing peacekeeper between Hannah and her mother.

- (Sad) I know everything feels like it’s falling apart right now. This is the hard part of life I wish I could hide from you.
Hannah's mother. Due to her profession as a psychologist, is probably unaware of her controlling nature. Especially with her own daughter. Is a workaholic.
