Hey, look at that, I'm finally done pushing back the deadline. I'm finally ready to decide the cast! Once I have cast you, I will send you a message requesting some test lines. After this, I'll be on vacation for a few weeks and will be expecting a response by my return. If you haven't returned my message, I'll be casting someone else. I'm sorry for taking so long.

Progress is being made
Hey everyone, you're probably not even following this project anymore but I'm still working avidly! I'm nearly done with all the chapter 1 free time events and planning out how I'm going to organize the murders. Prologue is 100% done in terms or programming and sprite drawing, everyone has at least 3 sprites (Though more important characters nearly have 10!) Nathaniel, and Gracelyn have free time events put in already. Kamilia's gonna need a voice, obviously. I'll be deciding on those soonish I think. -
Final Casting, sorta
Hiya guys! So, as I've been finalizing things and finishing up the prologue, I've finally decided to talk about voice actors. Kyra, Cerin, Dulce, Akio, and Emmeline were cast off site, thanks to some help from my friends. The responses to most of the female characters (Especially Skyler, Ro, and Kami) has been awesome! However, due to that, I'll be taking a while to sort through y'all. As for the males, congratulations, most of you got the roles! I won't finalize anything on the site (just in case) but you can feel more secure in your positions. Thank you for following my amateur project, and contact me if you need any information! -
Progress report
Hey guys! Thanks so much for the awesome auditions! I'm still looking for auditions for Zack, Akio, and would like some more options for Claus, Gracelyn, and Smith, so if you'd like to try your hand at any of those, feel free to do so! Progress is being made on the game: The prologue is nearly done in terms of programming, and every character has at least 2-3 sprites finished!
Kamilia is the protagonist (For the first half of the story), and the Ultimate Journalist. She is naturally good at conversation and forming friendships. She's a likable and cheerful girl, but is also extremely intelligent. In the trial segments of the game, she will be taking charge of the debate, so she'll need a commanding tone for those parts. Will be a love interest to Nathaniel later on.
My name is Kamilia Hardy, and I'm the Ultimate Journalist!
No, that's wrong!
I'll do whatever I can to find out the truth!
Claus is the Ultimate Court Stenographer. He's generally a very quiet person and will have few lines in the early game, but when he takes over as protagonist he'll have more lines. He's observant and soft spoken, usually keeping his thoughts to himself. Will be a love interest to Rosemary later on.
I've been keeping note of the whole discussion...
No, that's wrong!
Wh-what do you mean he's not the killer?!
Nathaniel is the Ultimate Conductor, and thus, has formal mannerisms and is very polite. He's capable of taking on a leadership role and as such, may need a more commanding tone. He is Kamilia's love interest.
Apologies for that!
I don't quite understand...
I'd be willing to help you investigate, Kamilia. It's always good to have someone to bounce ideas off of.
Rosemary is the Ultimate Pastry Chef. She;s been through a lack of parental support, and is thus very insecure and shy, speaking with a soft tone. However, she does occasionally raise her voice and in later segments of the game, will take charge of the debates. Is the love interest of Claus.
We-We all just woke up a little bit ago, just like you...
Who would kill someone like that!?
Wow, how did you know all that, Claus?
Alesea is the Ultimate Party Planner. She seems to give off the stereotypical "basic white girl" vibe. This personality may or may not be a facade, as during trials, she proves to be incredibly adept at reading facial expressions and body cues, assisting the protagonists greatly.
Ohhh my god. Are you kidding me?
You see that twitch with his finger? There's something up with his behavior.
I'll do my best!
Skyler is the Ultimate Cheerleader. She has a very peppy and cheerful tone of voice. However, she is also the mastermind of the killing game, and thus, has to sound very maniacal and unstable in the endgame section. Will have a lot of lines near the end.
2, 4, 6, 8, who do we appreciate?! Hehe!
I want everyone to do their absolute best today! Okay?
I did it in the name of despair! Ehehehehe~
Samuel is the Ultimate Football Player. He has a boisterous tone of voice, but is a friendly, likable jock. However, he is also a mastermind of the killing game, and will need to sound mentally unstable near the end of the game.
Hell yeah! I got this!
Back off, you stupid bear!
It was reeeeally fun messin' with that girl's face, and I can't believe y'all fell for it!
Akio is the Ultimate J-Rock Star. He's a very hostile and cold person, preferring to snap at people and then kick them in the shins, so to speak. He's not a complete jerk, but the music industry has completely worn him down and he's submitted to the will of pressure. His voice is more in the deep range.
Why don't you just shut up?
Fuck your political bullshit!
Take a hint, will you?!
Cerin is the Ultimate Cult Leader. However, his cult is nothing more than a front for violence and unspeakable acts against him. He gives off a very creepy, unnerving personality but is extremely fragile underneath that persona. His voice is intentionally shaky at times and he has a naturally creepy chuckle.
Everything... will be just fine.
Tch. There's no point to this.
God... I'm scared...
Dulce is the Ultimate Tutor. She's a very kindly, big-sister like figure with a big heart. She can get firm and assertive, but it's typically very easy to clam her down. Extremely friendly. She doesn't need an accent, but it'd be better off if she did, since she spent the majority of her life in Mexico.
Do you need any assistance?
Of course I'll help you; what's your issue?
Ah, yes, that makes sense!
Emmeline is the Ultimate Waitress. She's friendly and good-natured, if a little sarcastic and worn out at times. She has a bit of a sadistic side to her, but tries to not let it affect her personality. Still, this can come out in some of her more vaguely violent lines. She doesn't need a French accent, but it'd probably work better considering she lived in... France.
I'm at your service!
His body had a lot of injuries...
I like knives and all, but that definitely wouldn't be the way I would do it.
Gracelyn is the ultimate Figure Skater, and is a cocky, somewhat volatile girl. She's a little toxic and has a rather harsh tone, it's hard to be friendly with her. She dies really early, so she has few lines. She doesn't need the Russian accent, but it'd make sense since she's Russian.
Well, of course I'm right!
I-I didn't do it! Not at all!
Back off!
Kyra is the ultimate Competitive Pokemon Battler. Despite this, she's very mild mannered, and has a almost sleepy and lazy tone to her voice. Rarely does she express emotion. Dies early and isn't much of a talker, so she has very few lines.
...Hm? What did you say?
Ah... I guess I ran into the wall again...
Is something wrong...?
Smith is the Ultimate Graphic Designer. He's a very generic person, meant to be friendly and likable, if a little bland. He doesn't need an accent, but it'd make more sense if he did since he's British.
I'm sure we can escape with no problem.
Hey, what are friends for?
Wh- No! Why would I kill her? Why would I kill anyone?! Please, you have to listen to me!
Zack is the Ultimate Knitter. He sounds fairly ordinary, if a little spacey as he spends a lot of time focused on his yarn more than his companions. He can be hyperactive at times and has a tendency to ramble, and is also prone to outbursts of anger,
Oh. Hi. I'm busy right now, hold on.
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, SHUT THE FUCK UP!
Sorry about that outburst earlier. I- I didn't mean it. I swear. I mean, this is normal for me but I'm sorry you had to experience that and- (Continue to ramble)
Stanley is the Ultimate Game Developer. He's very shy and is a bit of a shut in, being very socially anxious and soft spoken. He stutters a lot.
Oh. Um... Hi. Did you need something?
I-I'm not sure if this is right, but maybe they were the killer...?
I'm the guy that made For Hire. Y'know, that contracted killer game thing...? Wow, that sounds bad in a place like this...
Monokuma has a weird, squeaky, high pitched and annoying as hell voice. He also sounds really sadistic. There's no good way to describe him, so I'd suggest listening to some voice samples online.
"Upupupupu!"
"Iiiiit's... PUNISHMENT TIME!"
"This is a killing game of course!"
