Story Sypnosis:
Sonic falls into another alternate universe and encounters his friends in a desert town called Green Hill, but they aren't how he remembers them... Tails is a train conductor, Knuckles is a sheriff, and Shadow is a feared bandit called Darkquill!
About the project:
I am writing, editing and directing an audio drama based on the ideas of Sonic Prime, and the Sonic Storybook games (Sonic and the Secret Rings, Black Knight), but it's set in the Wild West!
I am still writing the scripts but I estimate it to be 5 episodes, each being around 5-10 minutes.
I want this to be a fun project for everyone involved to get paid experience!
The $20 payment is a placeholder, the real pay will depend on the amount of lines, with a rate of $3 per line.
I will be playing Sonic and Jet, so those roles aren't available.
Rules:
First off, thank you everyone for your auditions! I’m honored to have so many people apply!
But now as I’m narrowing down the shortlist, and because the project will stop being listed by the end of December, I’ve decided to push the deadline earlier to January 5th. So there will be about a week of leeway if you haven’t auditioned by that point.
Thanks for understanding and happy holidays!

It's Tails! The young inventor and sonic's best friend. But in this universe he is the conductor of the Tornado Express! He still loves tinkering and going on adventures, but with a train instead of a plane!
Voice Description:
A medium to high-pitch boyish voice. Something similar to Colleen O'shaugnessy's interpretation but both male or female voices work. Bright, a little nerdy, and humble.

(Shocked) Woah! I’ve never seen anyone run as fast as a train!
(Sonic doesn't know who "Darkquill" is) You must be from the other side of the world because he's only the scariest bandit in the whole Wild West!
(Affirmatively) Ok, you got it Sonic.
In this universe he is a well-respected sheriff, sworn to protect the town, and the emerald within it.
Voice Description:
Something similar to Scott Dreier or Dan Green. A medium-low, stern, grounded voice.

(To amy) This fella bothering you?
(Friendly, but also thinks 'Sonic' is a fake name) A man of mystery I see. Fine, fine. If you don’t want to tell me your real name Sonic will do.
(Shadows rolls into town. Knuckles is a little scared but staying composed and authoritative) Oh no… EVERYONE, stay inside! You too, Sonic. I’ll handle this.
Amy is the innkeeper of the Mirage Saloon, and she is as caring as ever in this universe.
Voice Description:
Something similar to Lisa Ortiz or Cindy Robinson's takes on the character. Cheerful and somewhat short-tempered.

(Cheerful) Welcome to the Mirage Saloon! What would you like stranger?
Alrighty then, one cola coming right up.
(Angry) HEY YOU FORGOT TO PAY THE BILL! Doh I hate when that happens…
In this universe, he is a legendary bandit called Darkquill that commands fear in the whole Wild West.
Voice description:
His voice should sound similar to Ian Hanlin's or Jason Griffith's interpretations of the character.
Breathy, cold, intimidating.

(Threatening) Hand it over sheriff… and I will leave this town alone.
(Impatient, angry) It's high noon, Sonic. You remember our deal.
(Knuckles: Over my dead body, darkquill.) Hmph. That works for me.
The second member of the Babylon Gang. She thinks she is better than everyone else, and she might be if she didn’t fight with her fellow partners in crime.
Voice description:
Medium to medium-high pitch. Sarcastic, dry, and a little high-and-mighty.

(sarcastic) Oh great, another plan! Maybe this time it'll work!
(selfish) I'm in, but only if I get half of the profits. You two can share the rest.
(accusatory, angry) This is all your fault Storm, if we hadn’t stopped for the baked bean store, we probably would’ve made it to the train by now!
The third member of the Babylon Gang. He's a loud bully kind of character.
Voice description:
A low voice, a little dopey and a slight boston/new york accent.

(Excited) Yeah! This sounds easy as pie!
(Boisterous) I'll smash ANYBODY who talks down to the boss!
(Pretending like he isn't dumb) Uh... Sure I know what a that-thing is.
