Talia XO (Audio Visual Comic)
Project Overview
All Talia's ever wanted was to make it big. Brush elbows with celebrities? Check. Be able to buy out the most expensive boutiques? Check, check. Live in a luxury penthouse with no worries in the world? Check, check, plus!
But as much as Talia wants these things, she's got a long way to go before achieving any of it is realistic. Having just moved to the city with her twin brother Tahj and her best friend Jesse, she's finding city life is harder than she ever could have anticipated. She's starting from the bottom sliging java at a low rent cafe, but she's hoping to make quick strides toward achieving her dreams!
Talia XO is intended to be a fully narrated visual novel. The visuals of each episode are staged and screenshotted with the help of the Sims 4's amazing character creation and scene setting tools. But the story and characters will be brought to life through an engaging and compelling script written by yours truly and a fitting voice cast. This casting call is to fill out all the speaking roles for the early episodes including Talia Moss, the main character, her brother Tahj Moss, her best friend Jesse Yin-Heang, Naomi Stardust, Darian Townsend, and Robert Smith.
Please read the description for each role to get a feel for each of the characters. If you feel you could be a fit for more than one role, I encourage submissions for multiple characters.

Talia is a spunky, carefree, girl looking to make her dreams come true, but she's a little naive about the work it will require to make it. She moved to the big city with her twin brother Tajh and her best friend Jesse, to try and make it as the top mixologist at the most exclusive lounge in the city. But she has no job experience and is feeling a bit knocked down knowing she'll have to work her way up.
She loves her family and friends and has great ambitions for her future, but she is a little childish in her worldviews, and she isn't as neat and organized as she could be.

It's just, I know Tahj is mad at me for not setting the alarm, and the robery, and the cafe doesn't pay as well as the lounge and— (tone glum and anxious, read slightly faster as you go along like you're rushing through your problems)
Thanks, Jesse. I needed that. You're right. I can do this. By tomorrow, I'll be running that cafe, and the day after that, those jerks at the Stargazer's Lounge will be begging me to work for them!
I'm glad, ya know, that you came with us. (softer, warm, sentimental) Where would I be without my best friend?
Out of the three musketeers, Tahj is the most level headed one in the group. He's always been more of a realist than his dreamer, head in the clouds twin sister Talia, and for that reason he's worked really hard to claw himself up from gig to gig to be one of the premier DJs new to San Myshuno. In a sense, Tahj has made it, so he can relax and be chill more often than not. But he also realizes how much responsibility he holds being the breadwinner of his roommates, so he often nags them about bills and being smart with their purchases so they keep the lights on. Tahj is wise beyond his years, and has found himself in the middle of his sister's best friend's crush on her and her being completely oblvious to it. As supportive as he is to Jesse in encouraging the romance, it acts as a perfect smoke screen for his own love life as Tahj has been exploring his sexuality and is starting to believe he may be into more than just women.

Funny. But I don't think I'm the reason you're up so late.
Jesse, just tell her already. We all live together now for the forseeable future. It's just going to make things harder if you stay pining for her without ever saying anything.
Dude, would you rather someone else ask her out and you spend the rest of forever watching her be happy with that guy?
Jesse is Talia's meek and mild mannered best friend. They've known each other since they were kids, and it's probably been just as long that he's harbored a secret crush on her. Too bad Talia has always been oblivious to it! Jesse was raised in a traditional Korean family as the first generation to live and be raised outside the homeland, Jesse's parents have strong expectations of him to be successful and grow a family. However, he's arleady falling short by deciding to forgo university and go straight into the tech field to work his way up. Talia asking him to move to San Myshuno with her might have been a factor in his choice.

Hey, you okay? You've been moping around the apartment like a lost puppy all day.
You only just started, Tal. What'd you think? They'd hire you at the Star Gazer's Lounge with no expereince and you'd be the head bartender at the joint all in one day?
I know you. I know you can get ahead of yourself a lot and make mistakes and not think things through. But you're also really confident and smart and you can conquer anything. Even this.
Naomi Stardust may not be the name she was born with, but once she was finally able to transition into the woman she's always wanted to be, Naomi Stardust was definitely the name she wanted. Naomi moved to the big city when she was only 15, but since, she has rooted herself into the fashion district and knows all the whos whos and whats whats of the city. Information that is of particular importance to Talia and thus how they grew to be fast friends. Naomi was able to live comfortably for a good portion of her time in the city by being a dancer and a lady of the night, but now that she's no longer struggling, she's trying hard to make another transition into high fashion modeling. While she waits for her big break, instagram modeling and influencer gigs will have to be the way she climbs to the top.

What do you mean he has a small dick? When you said he had a big personality, I assumed you meant more than what he has going on between the ears.
Are you sure you're okay? You don't look so good. Hey....you used protection with that guy, right? Because if you didn't....
Yeah, right! I don't do (emphasis on do) those kind of things anymore. If you want me for a legitimate gig, here are my contacts and a link to my portfolio. If you're looking for more, I hear they have dating apps for that kind of thing.
Darian has all the charm, charisma, and confidence to make it as a business owner in the city. But what he doesn't have are the capital or the title to actually achieve that. In the mean time, he works night classes at the community college to work toward a degree in business administration, and has worked his way up to night shift manager at the Star Gazer's Lounge, all while doing his best to raise his little sister in the wake of his mother's sudden passing. He has a lot on his plate, and big dreams, but he's hopeful none of this will hold him back from what he wants, or who wants, as he finds himself fluffing his resume to gain the attention of Talia Moss.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to stare, it's just, it's not everyday I encounter someone so stunningly beautiful.
If you want to, we can take this party somewhere more comfortable, and I can show you a way better time.
If you're over that place then quit. You said you wanted to work at the Star Gazer's Lounge, right? Well, your wish, is my command. As the owner, I can give you any job you want.
By all appearances, Robert is a regular, every day, working stiff, with a bartending job that pays the bills. It's not the most glamorous job, but he likes it alright. It's humble and simple, just how he likes it. But the truth is, bartending Robert is the front, the escape from his reality as the owner of the most exclusive lounge in town: The Star Gazer's Lounge. Very few people know his true occupation, and he likes to keep it that way as it makes it easier for him to make genuine friends and hopefully one day find a worthy partner to share this all with. But until he sniffs out the one, he finds people watching and feeling people out from behind the bar a worthy exercise to help him pass the time.

You wanna be a bartender? With an attitude like that, you'll never get anywhere. But if you're serious, I may be able to help you out.
A job? I don't think so, but if your schedule is flexible, I get off early Tuesdays and Thursdays. I can show you the ropes and teach you how to mix a decent drink. But only if you really are serious and willing to learn. I don't like to waste my time.
No offense, but just going by your attitude, you're not really my type. You might think highly of yourself, but not every guy exists to just fall all over themselves for you. So, are you interested in the training? I mean, unless, you're looking to sling java forever.
