Supporting Character
Just a quick update: I have opened up a new role for this project! This supporting character, called Vesta, will be making an appearance in Cecilia's and Matthew's introduction.
Hello, lovely friends,
you can call me Cloudy or Miki! I'm a small gaming content creator for the farming simulation genre (currently at 1.7k subscribers on YouTube) and I would love to collaborate with you to create a short clip YouTube video for the Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life Remake!
Here, you can get an impression of the type of content I've created before: https://youtu.be/MjLsglmMe-c
Also check out the game trailer above, in case you are unfamiliar with it. But it would be absolutely lovely to meet fellow fans of the series here who share a nostalgic love for the game!
_________________________________________________________
The idea of this project is simple - the video will showcase all marriage candidates in the game (8 in total) and their first character dialogue when the player meets them at the beginning of the game. I will be recording the footage of the Japanese game version myself and then translating the dialogue to English.
And now this is where you come into play -
I'm looking for some passionate voice artists among you to represent the marriage characters and read their dialogue in an authentic, in-character way.
You won't have many lines for this project, maybe you will have around 1min of screen-time per character. However, I might consider making more videos in that series with the same cast, if the video performs well on YouTube. (for example, a compilation of all the romantic events with each character)
So if you are cast for a role once, I would potentially like to keep in touch for future projects, if you are also interested.
But please understand that we won't be able to kick off this project and will have to abandon it if we can't find enough people to be cast for each role in time.
If the video somehow takes off on YouTube and generates enough revenue to be split among the artists, we can start thinking about payment. But for now, this will have to remain an unpaid passion project.
However, rest assured that you will be credited in the video, and I will include a link to one of your social media profiles of your choice beneath the video. Additionally, I will promote the video on Twitter and tag you in the tweet if you use Twitter.

But most importantly, be enthusiastic about the voice-over and have fun!

The casting call is now closed! Thank you so much for your submissions. I was amazed at how talented all of you are. It's really tough to decide, Q^Q!! Please give me some time to go over your recordings once more, and I will reach out to those whom I would like to cast via Discord within the next few days. So please keep an eye out; I might have it figured out by Monday! If you weren't cast, please know that you were AWESOME nevertheless! And thank you for your interest in my project! I might do a few more fandubs of other Story of Seasons games in the future too, so feel free to stick around and check for potential new projects and available roles.
Wow, we've got some seriously awesome auditions! Seems like Matthew is a very popular bachelor, haha. But hey, let's not forget about the other characters! If you think you can pull off multiple roles with different styles, go ahead and give it a shot! Trust me, the other candidates are just as awesome. And if you know anyone who loves Story of Seasons and fan dubbing, spread the word and share the project link! Thanks a bunch :))

She is a local farmer living in Forgotten Valley and a professional at growing and caring for crops. She lives with her younger brother Matthew and their assistant Cecilia. She has a somewhat aggressive personality and gruff exterior, but she always means well.
"Hey, how is life on the farm? Let me know if you need any seeds. Just don't sell what you grow in town, because we don't need the competition! Ha ha ha!" (cheerful, joking, friendly))
"Come on Matthew, get over here!" (rough and commanding but not meaning to be aggressive)
"Wait... AHHH!!!! ... Damn it, I completely forgot I had an important errand to do!! (startled, in a rush)

Nami is an introverted, coolheaded traveler who tends to keep to herself.
She is very quiet and prefers to observe people rather than talk to them. While she appears to be a cold, indifferent person, in actuality, she has difficulties expressing herself around others.
Her past is shrouded in mystery, but despite her cool nonchalant attitude, she's well liked by the residents of the valley.
*sigh* You can be so weird sometimes, you know that? I mean, it was obvious the moment we met, but still.
Do you ever make baked yams? Everything's so tasty this time of year.
Whew...! It's h-hot! What? I'm hot and in a bad mood, so stay away from me.
Age: 30
A lovely, lively lady who moved from the city to Forgotten Valley after experiencing heartbreak after heartbreak.
She works as a waitress at the Bluebird Cafe. Although she enjoys the quiet environment, Muffy has had trouble adjusting to the quiet life. But she always keeps a positive outlook on life, even when things don't go her way.
What a pretty flower. What, a present for me? How nice of you! Thanks. I'll put it in my room.
Someone strange was following me! I'm so scared! Can I stay here today?
What about all the meals we ate together or the movies we went to see. Didn't that mean anything? When am I going to find someone who loves me?
Age: 18
A cultured and shy young lady who has lived in Forgotten Valley since she was a child. Lumina's parents died when she was young, but her grandmother took her in and brought her to the valley to live with her in the Villa. She now lives with her and their butler Sebastian. While she tends to be prim and proper, Lumina shows a more confident side to those she trusts. Her grandmother aspires that Lumina grow up to be a famous pianist. She is under a lot of pressure due to that and finds it difficult to live up to her expectations at times.
Why, hello there. Did you come all this way just to listen to my piano practice?"
Whenever I played without making mistakes, she would praise me. But it turned into a kind of pressure for me... I was so afraid of making mistakes and disappointing everyone.
I never used to go to the beach, I was afraid of getting sunburned. But it's so pretty, isn't it? ... the ocean?
(Will be voiced by me!)
Age: 26
A sweet, nature-loving girl who works at Vesta's farm.
Caring for crops and flowers is her passion. She is very kind, cheerful, and hardworking despite her fragile health. While she is very good with plants and housework, she can be childish and naïve, when it comes to stating her own desires.

Age: 30
He's hard-headed and standoffish towards those he doesn't know, but perhaps that's just his shyness shining through. He is Vesta's sullen younger brother and moved to Forgotten Valley from the city in search of a healthier lifestyle. As he grows closer to the player, he gradually reveals his gentle and caring side.
Working in the fields is hard work. How's your farm going? If you have any questions, ask Vesta.
The girl I used to go out with said I was boring. Because I don't talk much, you know? But I can't help it if I'm not much of a talker. ...Am I really that boring...?
Have I mellowed out since we got married? Cecilia said that I had. She said I talk more gently nowadays.
Age: 36
An artist of few words. He is constantly lost in thoughts, wondering how he can create his next masterpiece. He uses his bare hands to sculpt metal sheets into works of art.
When the rain comes, I let nature do its work on my sculptures. The rust that forms after is just another part of what makes them beautiful.
Lately, there's been something that's been weighing on my mind, and I just can't shake it off. It's constantly lingering there, but I'm unsure if it's the right path to pursue. I'm feeling really confused about it all.
Hmm... (pausing to contemplate) ... Oh, it's you. Didn't see you there. Just lost in thought, you know? It's nothing, really.
Age: 22
A carefree young man who lives at his parents' inn.
To Rock, every day is a new chance to party. He does whatever he wants, and if there is work to be done... he's probably not going to do it. But what he lacks in money, he makes up for his sheer confidence.
Today's your lucky day! I was just about to go have some fun, and what's more fun than kickin' it with a buddy?
Whew, it sure is hot. At this time of year, I like to go to the beach and pick up some pretty girls—I mean, go surfing, Yeah.
I was just thinking... Is there really any point in working if you end up losing all your freedom? No matter how much money you have, you can't buy happiness, right?

Gustafa serves as a balance between cheerful, outgoing shy. He is somewhat a loner but also enjoys the company of others. He is a travelling minstrel that came to the Valley for a peaceful place to play the guitar. He has also been searching for a nice place to write a song for a girl that's special to him. He enjoys tranquility and nature, and loves the rain. In the mornings, he will usually sit under the tree near his yurt and play the lute. He's very romantic and has a soft side.
It's really nice to take some time off for yourself and just enjoy the company of music. It always calms me down and brings a sense of peace.
I heard that you recently moved to the village, and I thought it would be great to have a chance to talk to you in person now. Why don't we sing together one day?
(Please sing) "Do-Re-Mi-Fa-So-La-Ti-Do" / (or feel free to freestyle any ballad song that you feel comfortable with and think would suit Gustafa's personality)
