Sonic Universe Comic Drama: The Case of the Pirate Princess!

Project Overview

Hello everyone! 

Welcome to the Casting Call for Sonic Universe 91-94: The Case of the Pirate Princess! I'm very happy that you've taken interest in my project and are reading this! This will be a 4 part series covering issues 91 - 94 of Sonic Universe. I will be uploading the comic drama's throughout the span of 2018, so be prepared for the long haul! These issues show Vector, Charmy, and Espio's adventures in finding a missing princess from some swashbuckling foes! Before we continue, I'd like to list out some things/requirements for those interested in auditioning!

1. Have good microphone quality! I do try to put these drama's together as professionally as I possibly can, so minimal to no background noise, peaks, ect.

2. Meet the deadlines! I cannot stress enough that for those who are casted NEED to meet the deadlines given. If you need more time on lines, just let me know and I will be more than happy to give you an extension. :)

3. Long Haul. This is a 4 part series as I stated earlier. So if you are not going to stick around for all 4 issues, you will not be cast.

4. Communication. I like to be in constant contact with my cast and crew! For as much as this is a project for work, this is also to make friends and meet other talented folk! Discord is HIGHLY recommended, for that is where updates on the project n' such will be held.

5. Have fun! It's all in good fun, so just have a blast! :D

6. Leave Drama at the door. If you are carrying baggage with you, then leave it at the door. I like my cast and crew to have a comfortable experience, so drama will not be tolerated. If you do end up having a problem with a cast member or staff, let me know, and we'll handle it. :)

7. Drink Water/Don't strain yourself! Keep yourself hydrated! Don't damage your voice for it is precious!

And that's about it! As long as you take these into affect, then you are all set to audition! One last little tidbit here. The roles of Vector the Crocodile, Charmy Bee, and Espio the Chameleon are already precasted to actors who are known for their respective roles/have proven their work ethic.

I hope you all have a wonderful time auditioning for this and we can't wait to hear what you've got! Thank you so much!!

Much love,

Ty

Razor the Shark
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to: pgcrooner

Razor is an intimidating and not easily impressed warrior. He is a bit blunt and short-tempered, being prone to attack others when provoked, and supposedly lacks in foresight. However, he is a devoted and caring friend and a fierce protector, willing to do anything for those in his charge, particularly Coral. While somewhat mistrustful of surface-dwelling Mobians, he lacks the outright paranoia displayed by some other denizens of the Great Blue Realm.

For his voice, I am looking for something gruff somewhere in the mid-range. Razor is shown to have a softer side as well as his intimidating side, so take this into account when recording for him. 

DIRECTOR'S NOTES:

For line one, Razor has been hit with a car and is extremely annoyed and is losing his temper.

For line two, he is mocking/teasing Echo for not being able to find the princess on her own.

For line three, Razor is retelling events to the Chaotix sounding serious/determined.  

  • "Oh, that's a weird way of saying sorry for hitting you with a dang car!!"

  • "You had to hire help? I mean, I knew you guys were struggling..."

  • "Coral was pretty worried, and obviously the official search wasn't tracking down the pirates, so I deicded to look myself.

Echo the Dolphin

Unpaid
cast offsite

Echo is very dutiful and dedicated, though maybe to the point of being slightly uptight. She also takes her job very seriously as she followed and upheld Captain Striker's orders without question. She seems to also consider Striker's views on others, as she questioned if Razor's activities supposedly validated Striker's suspicions on him. However, she does not do too well out of her element, and has trouble understanding surface customs. When on her own assignment, Echo maintains her commitment, although her focus on her objective leads her to extreme lengths to complete it, no matter the payment. She is quite determined and considerate of every detail in her work, looking into all the information she could find and preparing for the scenarios she came across. Her sense of duty can lead to moments of worry and uncertainty however, and she can feel strong concern for the safety of the royal family.

For Echo's voice, I am looking for a Mid-High voice, one that takes seriousness in her job, but is naive to the outside world and their customs. 

DIRECTOR'S NOTES:

For the first line, she is lost and is asking Vector if she is in the right place.

For the second line, she is retelling her events on the surface. Gossiping.

For the third line, she is in attack mode, until she see's that it's Razor to which she calms down but still remains on guard.

  • "Excuse me? This... This is the detective agency, isn't it?"

  • "And then he said, "Ma'am, you can't swim in the fountain," and told me to get out!"

  • "That'll be enough of that-- Razor?! Somehow I don't believe this is a coincidence... Razor, why are you here?

Captain Shellbreaker
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to: Crash Star

Captain Shellbreaker can come off as suave and charismatic. In truth, however, he is secretly ruthless.Having experienced the worst kind of a betrayals from his closest crewmates, Shellbreaker has little patience for treachery and will deal befitting punishment to those who dare take advantage of his trust. He also has a curious habit of saying "otterly" instead of "utterly". 

For his voice, I am looking for a mid-low voice. Use his suave and charismatic nature to your advantage and come up with something cool! He does talk like a pirate, but do not make it overbearing. 

DIRECTOR'S NOTES:

For line one, he is welcoming the Chaotix to his crew, but he doesn't really trust them.

For line two, he is slightly boasting about his crew.

For line three, he is slowly losing his temper after finding out there is no treasure. 

  • "Welcome aboard. But don't be thinkin' I won't have me eye on you. I've little patience for treachery nowadays and all manner o' creative ways to deal with such."

  • "No otter way's better. We may not look like much, but my crew's not to be taken lightly."

  • "This can't be it. KEEP. LOOKING."

Princess Undina

Unpaid
Role assigned to: sakuraquaify

In the past, Undina studied to become the priestess of the Eusebes Shrine alongside her friend Coral the Betta. While Coral ended up being chosen over her, Undina did not hold it against Coral. She left Meropis to travel the world and see it for her own eyes. Undina is a very happy-go-lucky girl who has a strong sense of adventure.

For her voice, she should have a valley girl type of voice somewhere in the mid-high range. Bubbly ect.

DIRECTOR'S NOTES:

For line one, just your typical valley girl conversation as she explains where she's been.

For line two, she has just realized that the pirates are not looking for treasure, but a dangerous weapon.

For line three, she is relieved that the Chaotix have put their plan in motion and are saving her.


  • "I got, like, sooooo bored at school, you know? I wanted to see the world! So then I was all, "Why not?"

  • "This is...a warning. Captain, I don't think there's any kind of treasure here. I think it might be...some kind of weapon."

  • "I was starting to wonder if you guys had a plan!"

Mr. Bristles the Yeti Crab
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to: millaninja

Mr. Bristles appears to have been the longest severing member of Captain Shellbreaker's crew. He was present alongside his captain when Razor and Blade attempted to steal pirate treasure on the Knives, and was also present the day Abyss the Squid left with most of Shellcracker's pirate fleet to join the Eggman Empire and form her own crew. However, it was Razor's departure from the crew that hurt Mr. Bristles the most. He is the wise, level headed member of the crew, always being the voice of reason. 

DIRECTOR'S NOTES:

For line one, he is asking Razor and Blade to a game of cards, feeling happy that it will feel like the good times.

For line two, he is trying to convince Shellbreaker to let Razor and the Chaotix to join the crew, knowing how dire they are for more crew.

For line three, he is letting his captain know that his speech is sounding abit on the negative side.

  • "Let's go have us a round o' cards! It'll be like old times!"

  • "Cap'n, we are a little light on crew... What with Abyss and the others takin' off like they did."

  • "Ah, Cap'n? Yer soundin' a wee bit on the negative side..."

Opal the Jellyfish

Unpaid
Role assigned to: rarityfangirl31 va

The Pirates of the Setting Dawn would come to recognize Princess Undina, which prompted them to kidnap her. During this time, Opal stole most of Undina's jewellery. However, after Undina proved her worth by translating old sea charts that Abyss the Squid left behind, Opal would return the princess' jewellery. Opal is a very calm but lazy person that is easily amused and finds fun in giving others a hard time and giving them embarrassing nicknames. She seems to be quite nosy as she wanted to eavesdrop on Razor  and Blade's conversation. 

For her voice, I'm looking for a mid-high range. Take her personality into account and have fun with it!

DIRECTOR'S NOTES:

For line one, she is trying to get Espio to reveal his name with friendly conversation, but is not quite getting through to him.

For line two, she is making fun of Blade for wanting porridge for breakfast, trying to get what she wants instead. 

For line three, she get's hit in the stomach and is in pain from Undina's attack.

  • "Okay, so the big guy's Vector, the little guy's Charmy, and you are... you arrre...antisocial."

  • "Uh, obviously? What sad person has porridge for dessert?"

  • "...eesh, Deena... You're stronger than you look..."

Dive the Lemming

Unpaid
Role assigned to: YoshiTails13

While travelling the seas alongside his shipmates, Dive encountered Echo the Dolphin, Razor the Shark, and the Chaotix, all of whom had been captured.In a bold attempt to start a fight, Vector the Crocodile, the Chaotix's leader, grabbed Dive and hurled him halfway across the deck, much to Dive's displeasure. Later, Dive would help Vector secure Echo's convertible, expressing his love for the sea to the detective. Dive is spacey, nervous, and somewhat distant, often prone to zoning off.

For his voice, I'm looking for a mid to med-high. More of the nervous teen you'd find in some awkward social event. 

DIRECTOR'S NOTES:

For line one, he is asking Vector if he likes the sea? So abit shy

For line two, he is zoning out talking about the thing he loves dearly. Getting lost in his own world

For line three, he is pretty much doing what line two does, but with a hint of sadness, saying that the ocean waves are more reassuring and constant than people are.

  • "Hey, umm... Do you like the sea? Is that why... you decided to join us?"

  • "I love the sea. It calls to me. The Cap'n.... he understands..."

  • "The ocean is...so nice...Waves are just so...reassuring. So regular. Like...old friends that always come back...sharing familiar conversations."

Blade the Shark

Unpaid
Role assigned to: rendakid

Focused, confident and with a temper as fierce as her natural color, Blade seems to share many of her brother's traits, including being intimidating, cold, blunt, and solemn. She is not above threatening others, even her own shipmates, with violence, as seen when she warned the Chaotix not to snore in their sleep.

For her voice, I'm looking for a mid range voice. Use her personaility traits as a guide.

DIRECTOR'S NOTES:

For line one, she is giving orders to get going.

For line two, she is having a moment with her brother.

For line three, she has discovered something and it trying to get her captain's attention. 

  • "Okay, you guys are all ridiculous and I need to stop Opal from ruining breakfast, so get a move on."

  • "People like us don't belong anywhere else. All we have is each other. Especially now."

  • "Captain, there's something here... Looks less than worn out than the other writing."

Daryl
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to: jakethegoodman

Daryl is a somewhat dishonest person, having arranged cover-ups to ensure a good image and income for his business, justifying it on the grounds that such actions are necessary when business is hard. While Daryl does not mind lying, when put under pressure, he will crack rather severely and blabber out everything he knows.

For his voice, I'm looking for a mid-low voice for him. When he's caught in a lie, he get's overdramatic so keep this in mind if you are cast.

DIRECTOR'S NOTES:

For line one, he is poking fun at Echo.

For line two, he is trying to get back to his work, quickly brushing off Echo and Vector about the case.

  • "Hey it's Miss Fish-out-of-water!"

  • "C'mon, I'm busy here. I already told you, I don't know nothin' about no princess or pirates."

Coral the Betta
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to: irisdragon

Coral is a very sweet, giving and devoted person. She is incredibly humble, but unfortunately to the point where it loops around to self-deprecation. As such, she is very sensitive and it does not take much to make her doubt her abilities and worth, leaving her always questioning what she is doing wrong and with little faith in herself. Also, when things do not go as planned, she begins to shudder and panic, which makes her rely on Razor in such emergencies. She also has limited knowledge about land cultures, not knowing Chao lived on dry land too. Coral is not really passive or a pacifistic, though she has an easier time standing up for others instead of herself.


For her voice, I'm looking for something soft somewhere in the mid-high range. 


DIRECTOR'S NOTES:

For line one, she is extremely worried about her friend.

For line two, she is trying to keep it together but cannot hide her fear.

  • "I can't stop thinking about poor Undina... What if she's hurt...? What... what if..."

  • "Sorry. It's just... I spoke to the queen a moment ago. They tried to do the ransom exchange, but no one showed up. I'm scared."
