Hello everyone! We have made some great choices with selecting some of the roles since this project has been open. However, out of the roles currently picked, not everyone has had their time to shine. So, I've added 4 more characters to audition for. All of these characters are planned to have a short appearance in Episode 1, and then appear later on down the series to help out Mario & Friends along the way. These characters are: - Princess Peach - Bowser - Prince Dreambert - King Peasley You are free to audition for whichever characters you may feel like, and as the series continues on, I'll likely add more characters for people to audition for. So to get started completely on recording lines Episode 1, we will still need VAs for: - Toad - Tedd - The 4 Aforementioned Characters - Toad Extras Hopefully we can continue to grow the team so we can get this project underway. Our current team is highly anticipating working on this project, and hopefully you may have a chance to join us as well! Until then, happy auditioning!

Announcements
I've launched a Discord Server for the production of this series. If you are interested, you may join using this link: https://discord.gg/YcKxTSkz8r Additionally, I have now added the request for one or more Co-Directors for the project. If you're interested, please check it out.
The Mushroom Hero. He should sound like Mario as if he was a brave soul who's always ready to charge into action to protect the Mushroom Kingdom, even if he feels that he's gonna die for it.
(concerned) “This metal man, what was his intention here? What has he done to the princess?”
(serious, heroic) “You mean you have never heard of me? I’m THE Mario! The fabled hero of the Mushroom Kingdom!”
(pained) “I’ll be fine… if it’s in the protection of the kingdom, then these wounds were absolutely worth it.”
The main antagonist. Metal Mario should sound like Mario, except if he was a menacing, cocky, and rude tyrant. When the switch occurs, his voice will sound a bit lighter.
(surprised) “Woah! For some simple mushrooms, they got quite the decor. I’m loving the look around here. Makes me almost feel bad for having to take it over.”
(angry) “WHAT DID I TELL Y’ALL?! I AM THE EMPEROR HERE, SO ADDRESS ME BY THAT!”
(cocky) *evil laugh* “You think you still have a shot? Look at you, you’ve obviously blown your shot, and yet you believe it still exists?”
Porter is an original character to the story. I'd imagine him sounding kind of like Garcello from Smoke 'Em Out Struggle, but as long as he sounds like a chill smoker guy with a sense of justice, it works.
(nonchalant) “Name’s Porter. I was locked up here for drug dealing. Wasn’t anything illegal, just some cigarettes. I guess they really got something against smoking here.”
(curious) “Interesting… wonder why they’re still guards then. No wonder the princess gets captured every so often.”
(serious) "I can tell by the way he presents himself, the way he speaks. If he was truly this ruthless Metal Whatzit Guy, he likely would have beaten you all without a second thought."
Perform your best Toad impression here, either from how Toad is nowadays or how he was back in the N64 era. This Toad in particular has a lot of concern for others, but also has a strong sense of justice.
(concerned) “Mario, if you don’t come out as the victor, I don’t know what we’re gonna do.”
(happy, but concerned) “I knew you’d be able to do it, Mario! *gasps* But, your wounds!”
(angry) “You listen here you Iron Idiot, Mario has already gotten you beat! It’s all over for you! To think you’d actually have a reign here?”
The leader of the Koopa Krooks. Orbi should sound like a cocky and confident, yet reckless leader. His voice also sounds somewhat tough and gruff, but not enough to strike fear into the enemy's heart.
(confident) “Heh, either word got out quickly or you showed up at the wrong place at the wrong time, ol’ Mushroom Hero.”
(pained) “No, Loum. Take Jewel and get out of here. If anything, I want to go out knowing you two are safe!”
(breaking down) The way it’s going, we’re the lowest level squad of the Koopa Krooks! We had to make so many side hustles to even stay in this organization! We can barely ever succeed in our regular missions!
Loum should sound like a woman with power, someone who sounds confident, yet can be sweet at the same time.
(confident) “Hopefully this will end up with us getting that promotion we’ve always deserved!”
(reassuring, yet nervous) “Hey, as members of the Koopa Krooks, we gotta act like we’re tough. Regardless of who it is.”
(accepting) He’s paying us to take you down, but… I’ll stop this fight, and let you go.”
The youngest member in the Koopa Krooks squad. Jewel should sound innocent and act like they're trying to fit into the group, with how cocky the other too act, but also act a bit hot-headed.
(excited) “I can’t wait to not be looked down upon by the boss! Let’s hurry and take this back.”
(angry) “Grr… stop dodging, will you?!”
(cocky) *laughing* I can’t believe you actually put your guard down for a moment. For a metal man, you sure are a real meathead!
Pretty much Toad, but more so of a humble servant of Peach rather than this justice machine. You could do some variety with the voice too if you'd like.
(curious) “Would you like some tea? Water? Lemonade?”
(pained) “A man… made of metal… walked in… knocked me out…
(pained) “Even when it seems… all odds are against him… Mario still has the resilience... to face the problem head on… only focusing on his desired outcome.”
Essentially a slightly more confident version of Tedd. Again, you may add some variety.
(nonchalant) “Unfortunately, Princess Peach is busy in a meeting with other leaders. If you want to see her, you’re gonna have to come back later.”
(pained) “When he gets here… you’ll be toast! Be afraid, Metal Man… because Mario will definitely kick your-”
It's Luigi. Try to make it sound more so Modern Luigi, between the times of Smash Brawl to Luigi's Mansion 3.
(upset) “Guess that’s what happens when you’re just overshadowed by everyone out there because my brother is so brave and selfless.”
(calm) “Okay, Mario. I should be all good from here. Whatever you need, you can go and grab it.”
(somewhat frightened, yet bold) “You’re right. I am scared. However, I’m doing this, not only for the Mushroom Kingdom, but for my brother. I’m going to put my fears behind me.”
It's Peach. Not much else to say here.
I am the humble princess of this kingdom. How may I help you today?
Is Bowser causing trouble again? *sigh* Every week with this guy...
Alright, and how would you suggest that this... image would help all our kingdom's profit?
The big bad Bowser. He's more so like the Mario & Luigi version, where he's not really treated that seriously as a villain and has a more comedic aspect to him.
Heh, it'll be as easy as taking a princess from a castle!
It's not like your castle is that well protected, Princess!
Hey, don't look at me! I have nothing to do with this, really!
Basically an aged-up Prince Peasley from Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga. He should sound like humble royalty, serious when needed.
BTW, the chuckle should sound similar to his laughing voice clip from Superstar Saga.
*hearty chuckle*, I know I can count on you two to be able to save the day.
I've got a very bad feeling about this...
Prince Dreambert from Dream Team. Still kind of sounds young, dignified, yet somewhat rash with his thinking.
I mean, this all seems pretty sketchy...
We quickly travelled over here as soon as we could once the Princess was abruptly forced off of our meeting!
I don't know if we're able to access the Dream World while not on Pi'illo Island, but it's definitely worth a shot!
There's a whole bunch of Toad Extras. The goal is just to sound like a Toad.
“Commander Toad, he’s speaking very weirdly, should we just go ahead and lock him up?”
“Hopefully you learn not to mess with the Mushroom Kingdom anymore.”
“Y-y-yes… Emperor…”
Just sound like how a news reporter would do it on TV. Be creative with your audition.
*Perform an improv on giving a news report related to the Mushroom Kingdom*
Helps write/proofread the script to make sure it makes sense with the story being led so far.
