Synopsis: The Legend of Zelda: Dance With Me is a fan written romance story that takes place in a timeline where the Calamity Ganon never struck Hyrule on Princess Zelda's 17th birthday and the still-unknown Hero has yet to pull the sword that seals the darkness. Years pass without threat of Ganon arising; however, this hasn't stopped the Yiga from remaining a prominent issue. After many assassination attempts on Princess Zelda (now 22 years old), her father demands she learns self defense for her safety. Without much of a choice, Zelda agrees to be trained, which ends up with her being trained under the guards top ranking knight: Sir Link.
Goal: We will be turning this story into an audio drama on YouTube, with sound effects, music, occasional fan art, and of course: voice acting. A schedule has been created, we plan to post a video every month, but do understand people have lives. While this is a for fun project, many use the audio dramas I make for resumes and portfolios.

So, if you want a fun, but higher quality project to be on, or simply want a longer term role to fill up that resume, jump in and audition!
If you'd like to see the kind of videos we make, check the video and the YouTube channel it's posted on! We've already made hours worth of another Zelda audiobook!
Further Project Information:
Cast:
There will be 4 leads, with the most important roles being Link and Zelda.
There will be 11 Secondary Characters(5 will be available now, the rest in a later audition. They appear near the end of the book), with fewer lines but appear a lot.
There will be many many one off characters, so background VA's are welcome.
Scripts:
There will be a total of 25 scripts. 22 of them are already written and ready to go.
Each video should range between 20 to 30 minutes in length, given a few outliers.
The amount of lines given in the character information below cover the entire story. Each individual script shows the line count for each character so you know how much recording needs to be done.
Schedule:
We plan to release 1 video a month, however, we also plan to do some recording and editing before we begin uploads. Theoretically, we should have 2 or 3 episodes ready to go before we start uploading.
The first month we ask to record 2 to 3 chapters worth of lines in advance so we can make videos ahead of schedule. While this sounds like a lot to do in one month, the first few chapters are relatively short. Still a busy month, but being ahead like that will make the rest of the project SO MUCH easier on the VA's. Besides, we're our most active and ready to go at the start, right?
While that's the plan, we do know life happens. We will make adjustments if things derail, schedules collide, so on so forth, but do understand when auditioning this is the goal we have and are aiming for.
This project is 18+, not because its super smutty or mature, but mainly because we feel more comfortable working with adults.
However, please note, while there is no actual smut in the story, the lead roles (Link and Zelda) become more flirty and suggestive as the story continues. It's mainly heavy kissing near the end really. The scripts will be provided to review below to determine your comfort level. Chapter 20, pg. 41-45 is as suggestive as it gets for reference. Remember, there is no actual smut in story.
