Thanks again to everyone who followed, auditioned for, and helped with this project! :)
Vexatious Values is a project for my political science class. The final product will be an animatic video.
I will be in charge of the art, script, and video editing.
This will be a paid project, I will negotiate payment amounts with individual VAs.
Voice actors who are able to voice multiple characters are preferred(so that I don't have to manage 9 different people, lol)! Also, please ensure you have a good quality setup with clear audio.
Vexatious Values is a project about personifications of the "8 Values" (from the 8Values political test found here: https://8values.github.io/). Each tries to make their own case to the viewers about why politicians and people in general should prioritize them over the rest of the Values; of course, they can hardly get any points across without descending into arguments and name-calling; and the overly sarcastic reporter interviewing them is no help either.
The overall tone of this project is satirical and light-hearted; it does not aim to endorse any particular political group or ideology, or push an agenda. Please don't audition if you're not comfortable working with themes of political satire.
I do not have extremely specific voices for these characters in mind(hence the voice descriptions being rather short). Creativity and personal interpretations of how these characters would sound is highly encouraged. For more inspiration, I have some rough concept art of the characters here: https://ibb.co/HXS0Vnr

Hello everyone! I will aim to have roles assigned by the end of today.
Thank you to every single person who auditioned, whether you submitted for multiple characters or only one. I genuinely did not expect to see 100+ submissions and 50+ followers on this project when I checked on the site yesterday. Seeing your support has genuinely helped me get over a period of stress and de-motivation, and that means the world to me :)
P.S: There were so many amazing auditions that even if you aren’t selected for this particular project, I’ll definitely be considering you for future projects :)
This is a lead role; most of the script is spoken by the Reporter.
A cynical news reporter who can't help but take regular jabs at his interviewees. I don't imagine his voice to be over the top or cartoony; it's more like a regular guy trying to sound professional but lets a few smart-ass remarks slip out here and there.
The type of person to claim that he's "surrounded by idiots."
Oh, *sure,* that'll *totally* work, just like the last 10 times you tried this.
Over here, we have the self-proclaimed supreme leader, who'll execute you for not stroking his stupid ego.
You heard it here, folks; paying workers 2 cents an hour is *cool* now.
(This character's gender is undecided. I am open to male, female, and androgynous types of voices for submissions.)
An energetic, rambunctious sounding voice. On the higher-pitched side of things.
Get outta here, you stupid boot-licker!
Hey! I have the right to keep my search history private!
You know that one trope in anime where a guy adjusts his glasses and they start glowing white(like this)? That’s the same vibe I imagine for Authority’s voice. He’s cold, unamused, and definitely condescending. Though I also imagine his voice has a soft, smooth quality to it that can easily hypnotize unsuspecting citizens of his regime.
I'm here to save *you* from *yourself.*
If you've *truly* done nothing wrong, then you shouldn't fear me.
(This character's gender is undecided. I am open to male, female, and androgynous types of voices for submissions.)
A haughty, condescending voice.
It's *basic* economics, how do you *not* get it?!
The freer the market, the freer the people.
A gruff, intimidating type of voice.
I don't work my ass off just so some scumbag boss can reap the rewards.
Equality for all means superiority for none.
(This character’s gender is undecided. I am open to male and androgynous types of voices for submissions.)
A nerdy, geeky sounding voice. The type of person who will gladly spend 3 hours explaining the difference between covalent and polar covalent chemical bonds.
Well, *you* clearly don't know your derivatives and integrals.
(mockingly) Do you really think "nuclear" and "radioactive" are the same?!
A cold, aloof voice. Definitely the voice of someone who would be a restaurant critic.
Do you *really* want us to become a society of thoughtless, emotionless robots?
(sternly) If we forget our history, we'll have nothing left.
An optimistic, friendly voice, though with a superficial air to it.
We should all be willing to help our allies in need.
Everyone works better together!
A stereotypical sports fan's voice, rather brash and rough-sounding.
If you don't *care* about your country, why even *live* here?
If I catch you rooting for the other team there will be hell to pay.
