Story of a Wanderer is an original visual novel game that I have developed in collaboration with another artist. The script and coding of the game are already completed, only some finishing touches, including voice acting, are still missing. Both of us will be choosing what voices to cast, so after the deadline is finished we might take a few days to come to a conclusion about who to cast.
PLEASE, CAREFULLY READ THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION.
Plot: The story is set in the Edo period and follows Kuro, a ronin that travels from place to place to survive with the coins he receives from his killing services. He meets a strange teenager after an incident, Nisshoku, who asks him to save a woman in exchange for coins. Accepting the deal, both begin their journey together, with many shenanigans happening on the way.
Genres: Mystery, Drama, Comedy
Rated: PG-13 (Violence/Physical Abuse, Sexual Innuendos)
Type: Visual Novel with mixed media art (traditional and digital) in a manga-ish style.
Details you need to know: The game has a duration of more or less 1h30-2h, depending on the choices made throughout the game. Therefore, only some parts are going to be voiced. There will be some interjections during the parts without lines (similar to what happens in games like Danganronpa for example. Additionally:
If you have any additional questions, don't hesitate to ask me!
Thank you so much for all the auditions!! We did not expect to receive so many! We received over 200, so we will take a week to make a decision on who to cast for the roles (and some understudies). It will not be easy. We will also provide feedback to those who asked.
We don't have any preference in the type of voice, except it has to be calm and mysterious.
Payment: 5$
Voice lines: +/- 50 (some are variations of previous lines, depending on the ending)
And so Kuro the samurai Awoke, for he was not dead. Now— An owl at his back, His only follower (this is part of a poem)
And so, the three of them left Koemi's house to never return. After getting into a safe place, the three decided to continue their journey together. In the end, a strong undissolved bond was created between Kuro and Nisshoku.
Kuro is the main character of the game. Despite being a serious and introverted man, he can be quite sarcastic upfront.
We imagine his voice to be similar to Haiji Towa in pitch and way of talking. We're open to suggestions though.
For the interjections part, you can interpret it as it would fit the character (if we cast you, we'll guide you through the "correct" interjections). You can have some ideas for interjections in many videogame videos like LoL or Yakuza for instance (though many of them only have fighting sounds).
Payment: 15$
Voice lines: +100 (most of them are short)
It was an accident, calm down. We don't want to make a ruckus out of this. We are merely passengers in this town. (nonchalant)
I apologize for this brat's behavior too. He can be too reckless. (annoyed) Who are you to call me a thief?! You robbed me blind! (angry) Who are we looking for? Is she your sister? Your mother? You are a brat next to her. (teasing)
Interjections: Pain, fighting shout, surprise, realization, annoyed, thinking, confused, doubt, mocking, irritated (sigh), shocked, angry/frustrated, "smile", laugh (open laugh), Laugh mischievously, embarrassed
Nisshoku asks for help from Kuro to find someone. He is a teenager who mumbles and mispronounces some words, making him very distinctive, and because of that he is not often taken seriously.
We imagine his voice to be a nasal one, he may have a countryside sort of accent, a way of talking differently. For his pitch, something like Child Emperor from OPM or young Gugu from To Your Eternity (examples 1 and 2)
For the interjections part, you can interpret it as it would fit the character (if we cast you, we'll guide you through the "correct" interjections). You can have some ideas for interjections in many videogame videos like LoL or Yakuza for instance (though many of them only have fighting sounds).
Payment: 10$
Voice lines: +/-70 (most of them are short)
I saw what you did, thief. Return it. (trying to be sound tough) ; Oh, that. No, no. I didn't "thief" you, I-I saved you. (uncertain)
Oooooooh! This is where you are habitating? (curious, fascinated) ; Anyway, I was planning on crossing the river. The only way is by West Port. We should get moving. Ready I am, if you are. (matter of fact)
Interjections: Pain, fighting shout, surprise, realization, annoyed, thinking, confused, doubt, offended (Hey!) ; mocking ("hehe"), irritated (grunting), shocked, angry/frustrated, laugh (shy laugh), embarrassed
Daitan is one of the characters that cross paths with Kuro. She is often mistaken for a man and loves fighting with everyone. She's Koemi's besshikime, so she only speaks calmly and is controlled when talking to her.
We imagine her voice to be similar to Eda from Black Lagoon in pitch but with sort of the same personality as Majima Goro from Yakuza and the different voice changes as Junko Enoshima from Danganronpa. Any accent is welcome.
For the interjections part, you can interpret it as it would fit the character (if I cast you, I'll guide you through the "correct" interjections). You can have some ideas for interjections in many videogame videos like LoL or Yakuza for instance (though many of them only have fighting sounds).
Payment: 5$
Voice lines: +/- 20
HEY!! Calm down?!?! Calm down you say?! (losing it) Tsk. If you say so, I will respect your wishes. (annoyed)
You won't have many options, you'll be coming with me now. Either by walking or by me carrying you, pahahaha. (taunting/teasing)
Interjections (her interjections are really theatrical): Pain, fighting shout, surprise, realization, annoyed, thinking, confused, doubt, mocking, irritated, shocked, angry/frustrated, laugh (always the evil pahahaha)
Koemi is a noble woman that crosses Kuro's path. She's soft-spoken, polite and has a mature voice. She says some lines in a seductive way, depending on the context, so please only audition if you are ok with it (no explicit lines).
We imagine her voice to be similar to Sango in Inuyasha in this clip in pitch and way of talking. We're open to suggestions though. Any accents are accepted.
For the interjections part, you can interpret it as it would fit the character (if we cast you, we'll guide you through the "correct" interjections).

I apologize for my friend's behavior. She can be really protective. (polite) Don't worry, Daitan. I am uninjured. (worried)
I am feeling a bit cold... May I be close to you for a moment? (shy, romantic)
Interjections: surprise, thinking, confused, "smile", giggle, embarrassed
Haru is the woman Nisshoku is looking for. She's gentle, caring and has a soft-spoken voice.
We imagine his voice to be similar to Mio from Dororo in pitch and way of talking.
For the interjections part, you can interpret it as it would fit the character (if we cast you, we'll guide you through the "correct" interjections).
No payment
Voice lines: +/- 5
You are safe here... (reassurance)
I am impressed, Ni! (surprised)
Interjections: Surprise, smile (soft giggle), thinking, confused, shocked (short gasp), worried
We will cast several people for these roles. Most are only simple interjections, but there are other characters that have +/-10 lines. For this, you state what you are auditioning to (just interjections or to specific characters, eg., "I'm auditioning for interjections and for the role of the "Sumo lady"). We might cast the same person for different roles if they can make different voice impersonations. No payment
