Hey everyone, we're excited to announce auditions for "The Alchemist", an upcoming machinima medieval/fantasy series from Vault Entertainment and Valor Studios., that 's currently deep into production.
About the Project:
'The Alchemist' follows the journey of Jackson Lorrow, a young alchemist navigating a conflict between the Outriders and his home of Regalia, while uncovering the truth about his father’s mysterious disappearance and newfound abilities This project is heavily inspired by Fullmetal Alchemist.
For this project, we are looking for a more realistic vocal style, avoiding the exaggerated "anime-type" voices. While the tone should still be expressive, we want it to feel natural and grounded, as though the characters are speaking in a more realistic, conversational manner. Our inspiration comes from shows like Bee and Puppycat, though we’re aiming for a slightly more grounded tone.
Even if you aren’t cast this time, don’t worry as we''ll be holding another round of auditions later, as well as for other exciting upcoming projects from Valor Studios. Stay tuned for additional casting opportunities and thank you for your time!
note: this casting call was originally made a few years ago, but the project wasn't quite ready to move forward at the time. now that we've refined the production process, we can finally bring this story to life. thank you
Hey everybody, we just wanted to say thank you to all the talented voice actors and people that applied for this project! The deadline has been reached and we'll no be taking the time to carefully review each audition and select the voice actors for this project.
Again, we truly appreciate the time and effort you’ve put into bringing these characters to life. Stay tuned for updates—we’ll reach out once final decisions have been made! 😊
Hey everybody,
First off, thanks to all the lovely and talented voice actors that took the time to check out this project/audition for it! Thank you, thank you! But yes, this project's deadline will be extended another 3 weeks due to the surge in auditions! Thanks everybody!
Jackson Lorrow is the 16-year-old leading protagonist of our project, on a journey to uncover the truth about his father’s disappearance while navigating a conflict between the Outriders and his country, Regalia.
Jackson’s voice should sound natural, realistic and have a conversational tone for a youthful teenager. We're looking for someone who can sound youngish and bring out his emotional range—from his quieter, reflective moments to more intense scenes of frustration or uncertainty. While intelligent and serious at times, Jackson retains an innocence that should come through in his voice. He is still learning about the world, and his youthful curiosity should shine through in his dialogue.
Well, I’m not most people… And if mastering it is gonna help me find my dad- Then it's a risk I gotta take.
Take them down?- What?? They're probably just here to.. collect taxes, maybe??
[For this line, I want you guys to ad-lib anything with the realistic tone a 16-year-old would say!]
Rei, a 17-year old warrior and secondary leading character in our project, is driven by a desire for revenge against the Fifth Order after the loss of a loved one.
Rei's voice should be natural/realistic, with a hint of a nonchalant coldness, while also showing her regular teenage-esque tone. Her voice should also reflect her strength and confidence.
I thought you'd have something of value to buy your life back with but, I don't want your trash. The amulet's decent enough-- not my taste though.
Are you serious right now? Look I get you wanna find your friend, but can you try and see past your own shit for one second?
[For this line, I want y'all to ad-lib anything you think would fit the character!]
General Askelle is a central antagonist in our project. He is a powerful and manipulative person whose charismatic leadership hides his deeply evil intent.
Askelle’s voice should be deep, intimidating, and convey a charismatic authority. We're looking for someone who can convey a sense of menace and control, while also instilling fear. His delivery should be smooth and persuasive, reflecting his manipulative nature.
Oppressor? Hardly. I’m nothing but a harbinger for a necessary destruction. And the suffering of you and your people is just one step towards it.
You speak of competence as if you or your company have an ounce of it, Severin.
Does that pathetic image ring any bells in that thick, dull skull of yours?
Graeme Alden is a 16-year-old who serves as Jackson Lorrow's loyal best friend. He is passionate about cooking and provides comic relief while also supporting Jackson on his quest against the Fifth Order.
This voice as well, should capture a natural, realistic, and conversational tone. He should sound innocent and approachable, bringing a sense of humor and optimism while also expressing seriousness when the context demands it.
Hey, have you ever considered a less dangerous hobby that doesn't mess with the fabrics of the universe? Hey!- You like cake, right?
No, magic's like astronomy for me- I don't get it and I don't like it. But you could call my bean stew magic- Also, I’m gonna borrow these indefinitely Ms. Lorrow, thanks!
[For this line, I want you guys to ad-lib anything with the realistic tone a 16-year-old would say!]
Veil Krei is a supporting character in The Alchemist, serving as a strategic leader for the Outriders. He's intelligent, calculated, and is dedicated to the cause of freedom for him and his home country.
His voice should be semi-deep, nonchalant yet resonant, conveying a sense of authority and wisdom for his young age. His delivery should balance seriousness with a hint of warmth.
You were explicitly commanded not to engage. This was reckless. Still, I knew you’d come-
I don't know what you should choose. That's up to you and you alone, kid.
AHHHHHH! DECIDE! Live or die!
Kite is our supporting secondary antagonist, executing Askelle's orders with a quiet intensity, often lurking in the shadows while serving him.
Her voice should be deadpan and meek, showcasing someone with a calm detachment that's unfazed by the violence around her. Her delivery should be flat and understate, yet still capable of invoking sympathy from the audience.
Until next time, Alchemist. Hail the shadow.
I won't let it happen again. He's likely fled to the Rims.
[Feel free to ad-lib something you think'd fit the character!]
Azami, a side character, is a skilled operative within the Outriders. He's fiercely independent and resourceful, acting as a formidable strategist.
His voice should be vibrant and expressive, expressing his rebellious and sometimes sassy personality. His delivery should balance an assertiveness with a playful edge.
Take this. Before he comes back. Knowing him, those blasts probably just pissed him off.
It's not an illusion... JACKSON, RUN!
(worn from battle) Yeah, I’m... I’m a little tired. But we don’t have much time. She's looking for me.
