The Unofficial Owlboy Fandub - Round 2 of Casting

Project Overview

NOTE: This casting call will contain significant spoilers for Owlboy!

Welcome to Round 2 of casting for the Unofficial Owlboy Fandub! The results of Round 1 can be found here. This round of casting will focus on supporting characters whose first appearances are generally later in the game.

The Unofficial Owlboy Fandub seeks to create a YouTube series of a fully voice-acted playthrough of D-Pad Studios' 2016 platformer, Owlboy. The official YouTube channel of the dub can be found here, and the first episode can be found here.

Owlboy is a 2016 retro-style platformer created by D-Pad Studios. It focuses on the story of a young Owl named Otus, born a mute and unable to speak, in a land where the only livable area is made up of large islands floating in the sky. The Owls are an ancient race, and once had a sprawling civilization that dominated the planet, with magnificent technology and high culture. However, hundreds of years ago, they went through a mysterious collapse, and now are only a shadow of what they once were.

Otus has recently begun his training under Asio, his Owl mentor, when the Sky Pirates, a group of fearsome robotic raiders, attack his village. Otus soon finds himself thrust into a journey to save the world, and to make some new friends along the way.

Audition information:

  • This project will be coordinated via Discord. ALL AUDITIONS MUST INCLUDE A VALID DISCORD USERNAME TO BE CONSIDERED FOR CASTING. If you do not wish to publicly disclose your Discord tag, you may send it to me in a private message. 

  • All cast members are expected to be responsive to any direct messages or mentions by the project coordinator within a reasonable timeframe. If a cast member is unresponsive to a DM or mention from the project coordinator after a full week, any roles belonging to that cast member will be subject to recasting without warning.

  • This round of auditions will cover most of the major and recurring characters in the game, along with many of the minor characters that appear early in the game. There will likely be a future casting call that covers the minor characters that first appear later in the game.

  • Please ensure that your mic does not have excessive background noise or distortion. Many characters in the game have lines in which they shout, so your setup should be able to handle those lines without cutting out, popping, or clipping.

This soldier is a member of Advent's defense force, and was in charge of a demolitions squad when the Sky Pirates began their attack on the city. At some point during the battle, his resolve broke, and he fled and hid in a panic. Otus and his friends encounter him hiding in a bush, where, after managing to calm him down, he provides information on where to find Anne and Bonanza, two members of his demolitions squad that were captured by the pirates. 


Voice guidelines: Open to interpretation, though most of this character's dialogue will be in a state of frightened panic.

Role assigned to: Jsaking11

An officer unit of the fearsome, robotic Sky Pirates. As they are responsible for commanding other pirates in battle, the officer units have a higher degree of autonomy and independent thought than the average pirate grunt. However, they are still cold, calculating, ruthless, and absolutely devoted to their Captain's cause.


Voice guidelines: Should sound cold, unfeeling, and robotic, but please do NOT use any voice filters in your audition!

Role assigned to: Seth "Machete" Demeter

A refugee from the city of Advent who fled to Vellie following the city's destruction.

Voice guidelines: Medium to medium-high pitch. Should sound soft-spoken and unassuming, perhaps a bit nerdy.

Role assigned to: Discili

The young daughter of the Sleepy Vellie Refugee, Pipp fled the destruction of Advent with her mother to the village of Vellie. Pipp is a bit of a wild child, having boundless energy, a rather manic grin, and a penchant for not wanting to listen to her mother. Of all the Advent refugees, Pipp seems to have adapted to life in Vellie the quickest, keeping a positive outlook despite the situation.


Voice guidelines: Medium-high to high pitch. Should sound like an 8-year-old hopped up on a sugar rush.

Twig's Father
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to: SambobVA

The father of Twig, a spider-like troublemaker who initially antagonizes, but later joins Otus. Twig's father is an old, crotchety stick bug who lives in the snowy realm of Mesos with his other son (Twig's brother). He is resistant to change, and is unwilling to evacuate his home, even knowing that the pirates have established their main base nearby.


He is unimpressed with Twig's antics, particularly his spider costume and persona, along with his penchant for hanging out with pirates. Still, he cares about Twig, and is willing to help him and his friends out on their adventure by revealing a secret passage back to Tropo.


Voice guidelines: Medium-low to medium-high pitch. Should sound old and crotchety, but not senile.

Voice description:
  • male senior

  • Enough, Twig! Get out of that costume and let's talk.

  • No, Twig. This is our home. We won't evacuate just because there are some pirates nearby.

  • There is no need to play games. If you want to leave with these friends of yours, you are free to do so. We may not like it, but we'll support you.

Twig's Brother

Role assigned to: Supersonicclank

The brother of Twig, a spider-like troublemaker who initially antagonizes, but later joins Otus. Twig's brother is a stick bug living with his father in the snowy realm of Mesos. He treats Twig's antics with even more derision than their father, viewing his spider schtick as painfully uncool. Still, like his father, he ultimately does care about Twig's wellbeing, and shows Otus and the team down to the entrance of the hidden passage back to Tropos.


Voice guidelines: Medium to medium-high pitch. I am leaving the specifics open to interpretation.

Voice description:
  • male adult

  • You see, "Otus from Vellie," Twig here has always been a weirdo.

  • Urgh, I wish Twig would just quit the spider act and stay at home like a normal stick bug.

  • Tcheh! Just try not to get into trouble, OK!?

Role assigned to: Nitron Dusk

An ancient Owl who lived many centuries ago, when Owl technology and culture was at its peak. Otus encounters Surnia via a hologram recording found in the Eternal Sanctuary, a secret area found late in the game. Surnia established the Eternal Sanctuary to store records of the Owls for future generations.


Voice guidelines: Open to interpretation, but should sound dignified and educated. As Surnia's gender is never explicitly specified in-game, I am open to all voice types for this role.

Voice description:

  • I am Surnia of the House of Preservation and Diplomacy. What you see before you is my life's work.

  • I hope that you will share the wisdom of the owls with all who care to listen.

closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to: Victor Orellana

An ancient Owl who lived many centuries ago, when Owl technology and culture was at its peak. Otus encounters Aegolius via a hologram recording found in the Eternal Sanctuary, a secret area found late in the game. Aegolius was famed for his technological genius, developing many marvelous inventions. He was also known for his extremely close bond with Noctae, perhaps the only other owl of his time whose genius may have matched his own.


Scraps of writings found throughout the game hint that his final invention may have been at least partially responsible for the downfall of Owl culture in the centuries that followed.


Voice guidelines: Normally, Aegolius would sound dignified and educated, much like his peers. However, in his recorded message in the Eternal Sanctuary, he is in a state of shame, worry, and desperation.

Voice description:
  • male adult

  • I redid the calculations. The chances of catastrophic failure are enormous.

  • …I have decided to lie to the other owls. I will not tell them of the danger.

Role assigned to: Marius

An ancient Owl who lived many centuries ago, when Owl technology and culture was at its peak. Otus encounters Noctae via a hologram recording found in the Eternal Sanctuary, a secret area found late in the game. However, Noctae's hologram is hidden even deeper than the others, found within a secret passageway tucked away in the deepest chamber of the Sanctuary.


Noctae is a mathematical genius, and frequently worked together on projects with Aegolius, another brilliant ancient Owl scholar with whom he shared an extremely close bond. However, he was rather reclusive, especially compared to Aegolius' outgoing personality.


It is hinted at throughout the game that Noctae and Aegolius likely had a hand in the collapse of Owl society and culture that occurred over the following centuries.


Voice guidelines: Noctae should sound educated, but soft-spoken, as he does not like public speaking or being in the spotlight.

Voice description:
  • male adult

  • Surnia convinced me to leave a message behind. I don't think even Aegolius knows. But I'm unsure what to say.

  • Mathematics never lies. It makes predictions.

Unnamed Ancient Owl #1

Role assigned to: Jamejarrs

An ancient Owl who lived many centuries ago, when Owl technology and culture was at its peak. Otus encounters this Owl via a hologram recording found in the Eternal Sanctuary, a secret area found late in the game. This Owl remarks on the bond between Aegolius and Noctae, and ponders the effects one of Aegolius' new inventions, which might make this Owl's role as a combat instructor obsolete.


Voice guidelines: Open to interpretation. Should sound educated like all ancient Owls were, but as a combat instructor, this Owl would likely speak with a rougher edge than the others. As this Owl's gender is not specified in game, I am open to any voice types for this role.

Voice description:
  • female adult
  • male adult
  • neutral

  • Aegolius and Noctae... They sure are an incredible pair.

  • My role as a combat instructor may eventually no longer be needed.

Unnamed Ancient Owl #2

Role assigned to: CrescentVA

An ancient Owl who lived many centuries ago, when Owl technology and culture was at its peak. Otus encounters this Owl via a hologram recording found in the Eternal Sanctuary, a secret area found late in the game. This Owl comments on Noctae's brilliance, and speculates on Noctae's upcoming project, as there are rumors that it will be his greatest discovery yet.


Voice guidelines: Open to interpretation. This Owl is quite a bit smaller than most other adult Owls, being more comparable in size to Otus, so a somewhat higher-pitched voice may be fitting. As this Owl's gender is not specified in game, I am open to all voice types for this role.

Voice description:
  • female adult
  • male adult
  • neutral

  • Noctae is almost too brilliant. Even Aegolius can barely keep up with his thinking.

  • If Noctae believes his next discovery will be even greater... I can't even imagine what it will be!

Unnamed Ancient Owl #3

Unpaid
Role assigned to: CircuitVA

An ancient Owl who lived many centuries ago, when Owl technology and culture was at its peak. Otus encounters this Owl via a hologram recording found in the Eternal Sanctuary, a secret area found late in the game. This Owl bears a remarkable resemblance to Asio, as Geddy (Otus' friend and companion for most of the game) almost mistakes him for Otus' mentor when the hologram is first activated, perhaps hinting at some distant ancestry.


This Owl makes commentary on one of Noctae's recent discoveries, but takes a rather disdainful attitude towards it, believing it to be a load of nonsense. He also comments on Aegolius' arrogance.


Voice guidelines: Distinguished, educated, and refined, like all ancient Owls. Since it's implied that this Owl is likely one of Asio's ancestors, it's possible that his voice would bear some similarities with Asio's. The voice of Asio in our dub can be found in our first episode for reference/inspiration. However, I am not looking for an outright imitation or voice match! Try to fit the character first and foremost.

Voice description:
  • male adult

  • ...So this was Noctae's great discovery. I am disappointed that most of the Owls take this seriously.

  • Of course Aegolius has taken Noctae's side, as he always does. Inseparable, those two. Even in failure.
