The Letter Narrator - Prologue & Chapter 1 Narrator
Project Overview
This is for a playthrough I wanted to do for the visual novel "The Letter" by Yangyang Mobile, this is the first of (probably) seven casting calls, including this one, for the playthrough that I'll make, one for each chapter! (The videos will probably be an hour to an hour and a half long depending on stopping points)
The only requirement is that you must have Discord (so I can give guidance over a call)
When you are logged in, you can comment, add submissions, create projects, upvote, search open roles, and way more. Login here.
There's not any tone indication, so the best I can think of is to sound ominous and informative (The audition lines will indicate which of the two tones to aim for)
For accent, the game takes place in a fictional town in Britain, try to match the setting with a British accent (it's not a requirement, but you will have a better chance if you use the listed accent)
*Informative tone*
The Ermengarde Mansion.
It was built for Lord William and Lady Elizabeth Ermengarde of Luxbourne, humble ambassadors of peace and beloved by their people. Both were well-known for their compassion and generosity, never failing to extend a helping hand to anyone in need. Under their influence and wealth, what was once a small, sleepy village grew to a prosperous and bustling town.
*Ominous tone*
Surrounding villagers spoke of seeing and hearing unearthly things; of cries and howls that filled the nights and hearsay of a mysterious woman roaming the hollowed halls aimlessly. People who dared enter its walls were simply never heard from again. Even after four hundred years, these stories remain, much like the house itself.
*Informative and Ominous*
Whispers about the once great house, its legend and its curse, still fall upon the villagers’ ears. In spite of this, the current owners are convinced that these stories are nothing more than a hoax. With little regard for the truth, they had Briar Realty Corporation place the property back on sale.
Isabella is a real estate agent for Briar Realty Corporation, she's revealed early on to put her family and friends before herself, as seen when it's revealed she's working as a real estate agent to earn money for treatment to her father who's terminally ill. She also loves her friends as if they were family as well, viewing Rebecca Gales as a sister and Zachary Steele as an older brother.
She's voiced by Amanda Lee (LeeandLie on YouTube) so try to aim for her type of voice, you don't have to sound exactly like her, just a guide for the type of voice to aim for! :)

(Choice: "I eat other things too!" - A playful argument between Isabella and her friend Rebecca)
I fold my arms across my chest, mimicking her posture and giving her the best frown I can muster. The same one I'd use with my younger siblings when they're being difficult. Instead, she only raises an eyebrow at me.
*After Isabella hangs up with her friend Ashton, the latter calling her a scaredy-cat over the mansion from the prologue*
Stupid Ash-hole! Always teasing me whenever he sees a chance! I'll show him who's tough!
*Something jumpscares Isabella while in the attic of the mansion looking for her co-worker, Rose*
I KNEW disturbing this mansion was a bad idea! Right from the very start! But nobody listened! Be "fucking realistic," they said. They think I'm coo-coo because I believe in curses and ghosts and all that!
