Tauchu Universe

Tauchu Universe

Project Overview

ALL ROLE PAYOUTS ARE FLEXIBLE, AND PRICES ARE PURELY BASES (NOT EXPECTATIONS/EXAMPLES). I'm willing to set aside a fairly decent sum of money to have my dream projects come to fruition after so many years. This is assuming that the rates are reasonable of course. If you'd like to take on a part purely voluntarily (not paid, but credited), you're absolutely able to do so! But I'm more than happy to compensate. 

Edit: Due to the volume of auditions and my work schedule, I'm not currently able to give personal feedback to everyone. I'll try to get back to this when I can but I can't promise it, thank you for understanding!

Any animated music videos/story videos will be uploaded to my YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/c/corelocus

This is round one for a specific set of primary roles and their relevant supporting roles. There will be more auditions available in the future for additional lead roles in smaller story arks and backing roles.

Tauchu Universe is a personal worldbuilding project of mine that was started way back in 2014. I've always been incredibly interested in the idea that writing is a gateway to other worlds (through imagination) and I've recently been taking it more to heart. As I've gotten older and worked more as a motion graphics artist, I've realized that I still enjoy content creation just as much as I did when I was younger, but instead of producing bulk content of mediocre quality, I want to use the knowledge I gained from my time in Film School and in Freelancing to make a few high quality animations or music videos each year.

I already have an animator for the project, but I figured I'd give people on CCC a chance incase anybody takes particular interest to it.

Tauchu is an incredibly personal project in nature that's been over five years in the making, and I'm purely doing it out of passion and for fun! Everything paid is being done out of pocket. This is non-commercial in nature.

The project features a variety of characters from humans to mythical anthropomorphic gods, to tiny fluffy creatures. A lot of animated content will focus around my music production and introductory cinematic scenes to the aforementioned musical pieces.

I am handling writing, music production, sound design, production and directing on my own. I will also be doing some voice acting of my own. I've been producing music for seven years, voice acting for five, and animating for eleven! 

Note: Having a Discord account is a requirement.

I may be able to make exceptions. If you don't have a Discord, please provide an alternative social media platform of choice to reach you on.

Additional Note: Although the scripts avoid using any expletives for the most part, there are a few rare instances where it's appropriate for emphasis. There isn't any inherently offensive language aside from common swear words (no slurs or culturally biased terms). If you're not comfortable with swearing, it's fine! The script can be edited so you don't have to :) Just let me know

Latest Updates

  • Round 1 of Auditions Closed - Summary, The Future of the Project, and Future Auditions

    Hey everyone, thanks to all of you that auditioned or just followed out of interest! Receiving just under 400 auditions was underwhelming and unexpected to say the least, and I was blown away by all of the incredibly talents on CCC. For those of you that weren't accepted, don't be discouraged! Voice acting and voice over are very competitive and you could have had a great audition, but your voice simply wasn't a fit. I would still like to give as many people personalized feedback as possible but there are simply too many auditions to do in a short timeframe. I will be providing people with individual feedback still but it may be slow. And of course, congratulations to the new cast! This is round one, which is just for lead roles and the main supporting roles. Round two will likely be late this year or early-mid next year as I will not be needing any extras for a fair while, but I will still be opening (paid) extra roles later on. If you're interested in following the project, be sure to check out my YouTube channel (linked on the project) which will have some update videos posted in the near-ish future, as well as a link to the wiki. I may also create a public discord for those interested. In the meantime, thanks to everyone! I'll try to post updated on this gig even though all roles are currently fulfilled. See you all in the next opening!
  • Volume

    Hey all! Just wanted to post a minor update regarding the volume of auditions. I'm honestly very excited to see so much interest in this project from the VA community on here! It exceeded my expectations, and due to that I'm going to need to spread my workload over a longer period of time. I will be giving everyone that auditioned personalized feedback as I state in the general info, but I'm going to have to split it up over several days (especially as more people audition.) Don't worry if I don't comment on your audition immediately, I will get to it as soon as I'm able!

Like the Animator position, payout is highly flexible! This is something I actually do need as my primary animator specializes more in character animation.

Style is highly open to options, I like most background styles, and as long as it's not too incredibly stylized almost any background type should do! (Including 3D)

Glace (Classy Pastry Chef)
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to: KissfromtheShadows

Visual Reference: https://file.toyhou.se/images/8519307_mcX8pYezbcOT6HW.png?1546143161

Glace is best described as the classiest pastry chef you'll find around. She's massive at over 9 feet tall, but incredibly gentle and skilled at folding tiny pastries despite her hands being larger than most people's whole bodies. She speaks somewhat softly when she needs to, but in a brash manner with a somewhat tomboyish voice and likes to put on a mid-atlantic accent (old film accent, but this is not necessary for the role). She's very caring, almost motherly, and incredibly friendly. But she also tends to be on the sassier side if she isn't fond of you or you do something to offend her, but trust me when I say you'll be fine. Probably.

Glace is one of the primary characters of the overall story, and as such will be appearing in multiple shorts with between two and twenty voice lines each. Payout is of course flexible and can be arranged on a per-video basis (or voluntarily.)

  • (Smug/Teasing) Yeah? I bet you would find that quite entertaining. Because it is.

  • (Casual/Friendly) Hey there! Welcome to my bake shop! Feel free to look around and tell me if there's anything you like! I've got some fresh eclair's in the back that I'll be bringing out in a couple minutes.

  • (Manic) [Laughing] Oh, oh that's rich. You talk tough kid, but cut it out here and try to take on someone your own size.

Note: Being able to sing is a huge plus!

Sam is a neatfreak and an aspiring musician, he lives a minimalistic lifestyle and prefers to be alone most of the time, or with friends in a quiet place like a cafe or a library. He's very affectionate of those he likes, tends to stutter when excited or embarrassed, but is generally considered to be likable and charismatic. He's very passionate about his music but due to his perfectionist nature, hasn't ever properly released any of it.

  • (Appalled) Do you think I asked for this to happen to me? I don't even know why I'm here!

  • (Casual/Flattered) Oh well, it's not really a big deal y'know. It was a lot of work but I do think it's one of my best pieces.

  • (Surprised) Oh, well that's certainly something isn't it? I- well, huh..

Kaichi (The Loudmouth)

Unpaid
Role assigned to: TunnelBerg

Visual Reference: https://file.toyhou.se/images/9129640_Fq0sy3MDLiE5Mps.png

Kaichi is a big talker. In his previous life he was one of the youngest people to win an adult martial arts tournament, and it largely got to his head. He cares very much about his friends and has a big heart, but his brain has a hard time catching up sometimes. He's by no means an idiot, quite the opposite having been an honor student. Despite this, he often speaks on impulse and can seem rather aggressive, but he's often more bark than bite.

This is pretty much the only role that's entirely open to any accents. I'm particularly leaning towards a high timbre italian style accent, but british, north american, and asian accents are all welcomed to audition. I'd compare the actual cadence and timbre of his voice in my head to Angel Dust from Hazbin Hotel, but I'd be very happy if you proved me wrong!.

  • (Heated) Yeah? I bet I could take you all on with my eyes closed! S-See? They are closed!

  • (Sad) ...I guess I just used to know so much about myself and my place in the world, but now I'm just another voice screaming into the void. And I can't even hear it.

  • (Humoured) Oh yeah you're a real fighter, that's why you've got two gorilla hands always draggin' around right?

Mira (Corrupt Goddess)
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to: Grainne

Mira is a goddess that was sent to Tau-Omega as a way of preventing the corruption from chaos among human civilization from completely corrupting her and causing an outbreak of chaos as people get falsely guided to it. This didn't work, as the physical body she now lived within resulted in her being more vulnerable to the human chaos. Her ability to see the difference between the right way and pure chaos is no longer in-tact, and she was physically restrained by the gods within a cave to prevent escape. She is manic and dangerous in nature, but by no means evil.

She is anthropomorphic in her physical form, but not human.

Mira is one of the primary characters of the overall story, and as such will be appearing in multiple shorts with between two and twenty voice lines each. Payout is of course flexible and can be arranged on a per-video basis (or voluntarily.)

  • (Calm but Urgent) Please.. help me lift this curse (chuckling). Just lift the blindfold, Kai. It's not that hard (quiet laughing)

  • (Torn or Crying) Listen, please! You don't understand, I never asked for this. They put me down here, they forced me here unwillingly! I just want to help people, but I don't know what it means to help people anymore!

  • (Anger/Hysteria) You talk a big talk, 'bub'. Haha, oh man. If you saw the look on your face, you'd realize it wasn't frightened enough. (Whispering) I could crush you into the size of a box but then I wouldn't be able to share a moment like this with you again.

Ozzo (The Friend)

Role assigned to: Patrick Mealey

Visual Reference: https://file.toyhou.se/images/12992057_hymsEQ79UYWNwXp.png

Ozzo is an incredibly compassionate bagbean. He is afraid of change, meeting new people, the dark, hurting the feelings of his friends, and pretty much anything that moves. He was never sheltered, and he wouldn't describe himself as a wimp, he just loves everything and worries about doing the wrong thing. He tends to be rather quiet and keeps to himself, but when he talks he always speaks the truth.

Ozzo is one of the primary characters of the overall story, and as such will be appearing in multiple shorts with between one and fifteen voice lines each. Payout is of course flexible and can be arranged on a per-video basis (or voluntarily.)

  • (Confused) The onions, they're everywhere! Oh, oh god! I need to organize these better.

Auro is exceptionally intelligent, and tends to stay in the back of groups or watching from the shadows. He likes to be helpful to people and will often give anybody info he feels is valuable by any means possible.

Auro is a supporting character and will not appear in as many shorts or cinematics as the other characters, but often talks a lot when he is present.

  • (Cryptic/Quiet) I'm risking my life just coming here to see you, but you're too focused on your little charade here to see what's really going on. Meet me tomorrow in the York Ridge's outskirts near Shaver Road.

  • (Fast-spoken) Oh ha, ha. Let's laugh at the guy with no eyes, bet he can't see us coming, oh no! So frightening to see two of the planets dumbest mercenaries trying to find someone that's done nothing wrong with overgrown Pogo sticks. 

  • (Sarcastic) Oh yes, because that worked incredibly well last time.
