INTRODUCTION:
Hello, everyone; I'm back with yet another Casting Call for the Sonic IDW comic! I know you're sick of seeing these (To be honest I'm getting sick of making them -_-) But due to some cast departures and some actors going MIA, I'm recasting several characters!
All videos will be posted on the Corby's Cubby channel - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbEKioYzNQ3EJPWWIb9XTTw
(This synopsis and the following character descriptions have all been paraphrased from the Sonic Wiki Zone!)
You can read the story here: https://grabber.zone/comics/sonic-idw/2020-2022-dr-starline-saga/sonic-the-hedgehog-41/
PAYMENT:
Payment will be distributed after I receive the actors' finalized lines. Payment is also subject to change between story arcs, though expect them to range between $5-$15. Roles with "Deferred" will still be paid, the tag just means they're so far in the future it's hard to gauge payment now.
GUIDELINES:
Your audition must have good audio quality with little to no background noise. If it has noticeable background noise, it will not be considered and will be immediately dismissed.
Meeting deadlines is important, but communicate with me if you cannot meet said deadline! We can work things out as long as there is communication.
Communication is key! If I can't get in touch with you after long periods of time consistently, then I will be forced to let someone else take the role.
DON'T SLATE!
Knowledge of the comics isn't a requirement, but it does help! Especially for the original IDW characters!
Occasionally, I may ask if we can get into a call to do lines with some live directing. This will not happen for every single batch of lines, but expect it to happen occasionally, especially if you're part of the main cast.
Please provide at least 2 takes per character! Preferably in AABBCC format.
If you choose to add an effect to your audition, leave in the unedited takes as well.
Must have Zelle, or Paypal, as these will be what I use to distribute payment.
Some roles will already have been filled by me and other actors! If the character isn't on the list, please don't DM me and ask if they're available.
If you don't have Discord, that's completely ok, but it does make things easier if you do.
Thank you to everyone who auditioned! Choosing was super hard this time around but I have finally made my decision, congrats to those who got cast! I'll also be contacting a few actors for some smaller/extra roles in the future, so be on the lookout! Thank you all and have a wonderful day
ROLE: Side
CHARACTER DESC:
Omega's only goals in life are to take revenge on Dr. Eggman for wasting his potential and destroy the doctor's other robots to prove himself superior. These two goals are absolute above all else in Omega's eyes. As a result, he tends to be extremely headstrong, reckless, aggressive, and destructive - decimating anything that gets in his way. If you add a voice effect, add in the take without the effect as well.

Face me, inferior models!
Target reconfirmed. Extermination mode initiated. Payback INEVITABLE.
I call dibs!
ROLE: Minor
CHARACTER DESC:
Vanilla is a calm and composed woman, never raising her voice. Like her daughter, she is nice and kind to others, and always ready to help those in need.
EXAMPLES:

https://youtu.be/Z9JMGJbHeTQ
(Happily) Well, that simply won't do! Gemerl, would you mind helping?
(With a threating but calm tone) Cream dear, I seem to have missed some things.
(Comforting) You were very brave and did you're best! That's always worth being proud of.
ROLE: Side
CHARACTER DESC:
Known to have always sought prestige and riches, Mimic—in keeping with his shapeshifting abilities—is an ominous, sinister, manipulative, remorseless, cunning and violent sociopath with scant regard for anyone other than himself; though a part of him deep inside seems to regret what he's done to past allies. He does not believe in higher ideals, claiming that heroes become martyrs while professionals stay alive. He also is highly untruthful and treacherous, delighting in deceiving others and betraying whoever he is currently aligned with if it suits his purposes.
EXAMPLES:

Could just be my Spider-man fan side talking due to his similarities with the Chameleon, but I think a Russian accent would fit him well.
(Sinister/With a smile) Rest in peace Whisper, it was fun while it lasted.
(Talking about the team he betrayed) I was just in it to reap the rewards. When their big crusade put my life on the line, it wasn't a difficult choice. Heroes become martyrs, professionals stay alive.
(Doing some introspection on himself/Emotionally charged) Did I just crave validation? Was it ever about the spotlight? I can't be myself around them. They don't know what I've done...Friendship is supposed to feel good, solid, like a foundation. So why does it hurt **so much!?**
ROLE: SIDE
CHARACTER DESC:
Clutch is a highly collected, highly intelligent, and composed individual. Never showing any inclination of shock or surprise, he is extremely adept at keeping his emotions in check. He is also quite sly in his mannerisms and is not truly afraid of interacting with anyone. However, his calmness also makes him very intimidating; while he does not express his anger emotionally, he makes it evidently clear with firm statements and piercing glares.
EXAMPLES:
https://youtu.be/5Clv5te2G3c (The accent Penguin has here isn't a requirement but it IS a huge plus)
https://youtu.be/tPz6H-k6dVw
(Proudly explaining his evil plot with a grin) I'm a businessman on the cusp of an aggressive venture! Clean Sweep Inc. is my way of getting into places others cannot. We clean up all those nasty robots and weapons Dr. Eggman leaves behind in his conquests...and quietly amass resources and an aresenal beyond comprehension.
(Menacing/Threateningly towards his henchmen-) Now that you've had a little taste of the limelight, you've come to see our little arrangement as a **burden**, is that it? But here's the thing about the fame you're enjoying, its not yours. I made you heroes because that's what I needed. I can make you monsters just as easily.
(Continuing on from the last lines context/With a fake smile) Aw cheer up! You get the glory, the fame- Hey, you even get to be a little violent now and then! All you have to do is maintain appearances. You SHOULD be thanking me.
ROLE: Minor
CHARACTER DESC:
Tumble is a course and aggressive skunk. Ruthless, cruel, and violent,he takes great pleasure in terrorizing and taking advantage of those weaker than himself. Some semblance of a Brooklyn accent is a REQUIREMENT for this goofy henchman
EXAMPLES:

https://youtu.be/DFzj-dph2hE?t=7
(Angrily) Who said YOU could come into our town, HUH? Who said YOU could ruin our FUN?!
Prepare to get pummeled! It's payback time for -ROUGH AND TUMBLE
(Full of rage and goofy emotion) YOU CAN'T DO THAT! RYHMING IS **OUR** THING!
*Say something you think would fit*
