Thorne & Thistle - Voice Acting Auditions

Thorne & Thistle - Voice Acting Auditions

Project Overview

🌹 Thorne & Thistle

Thorne & Thistle is a narrative-driven cosy supernatural management game currently in development by Elderflower Night Studio.

Players inherit a struggling flower shop in the Victorian town of Rosebury, where customers arrive seeking help, advice, remedies, and sometimes far more dangerous solutions. Through meaningful choices, relationship building, and a cast of memorable recurring characters, players will shape both the future of the town and the lives of those who call it home.

Combining character-driven storytelling, branching outcomes, and light management mechanics, Thorne & Thistle aims to create a world where every choice leaves its mark.

About This Casting Call

This casting call is the first stage of our voice acting process.

Rather than casting specific characters immediately, we are looking to identify performers whose voices, acting ability, and delivery may be suitable for future character roles within the project.

Successful applicants may be invited to participate in later casting rounds for named characters.

What We're Looking For:

🌿 Clear audio quality

🌿 Strong character delivery

🌿 Reliable communication

🌿 Enthusiasm for story-driven games

🌿 Willingness to participate in future casting rounds

Latest Updates

  • Casting Decisions

    Hello and thank you again to everyone who submitted an audition for our project. We received an astounding number of truly excellent takes on our characters and are excited to work with those that are cast. The casting team has been working dilligently to keep up with each new audition so that we can inform those cast and those that aren't as quickly as possible.

    For those that sadly did not make the cut, please don't be discouraged as in many cases it was a difficult decision to make and it came down to small details in performance, technique or tone that ultimately made the decisions. We hope that you'll consider auditioning for future projects with us.

    To those that are being offered roles, congratulations! I have sent friend requests to you on discord and will be in touch with you as soon as I am able. We at Elderflower Night Studio are excited to work with you.

    Best Regards,

About the Character

This character has an effortless confidence that immediately puts people at ease. Playful, quick-witted and naturally charismatic, she enjoys teasing those around herβ€”not to embarrass them, but because she genuinely enjoys making them smile. Beneath that confidence, however, is someone far more sincere and emotionally guarded than she first appears.

Personality
  • Charismatic

  • Playful

  • Confident

  • Sincere

  • Emotionally guarded

Vocal Direction

Think Princess Leia Organa rather than a femme fatale.


We're looking for someone who can command a room without raising their voice. She's witty, self-assured and enjoys playful banter, but never comes across as cruel or overly seductive. Her confidence should feel effortless, with moments of genuine warmth breaking through when the mask slips.


Please avoid exaggerated "sexy" voices or over-the-top flirting.

  • "Careful now... keep looking at me like that and people might start getting the wrong idea. Although... I can't promise I'll correct them."

  • "Enough. Everyone's had their say, now listen for a moment. We can solve this a lot faster if we stop trying to win the argument."

  • "You know.. you don't always have to pretend you're alright. It's exhausting wearing a mask all the time."

Age: 40s

About the Character

This character runs the local inn, where travellers and townsfolk alike gather to eat, drink and exchange stories. Friendly and welcoming on the surface, she always seems to know what's happening around town, and isn't above turning a juicy rumour into an opportunity.

Personality
  • Friendly

  • Nosy

  • Opportunistic

Vocal Direction

Think warm, approachable and effortlessly chatty.

This character enjoys conversation and has a natural curiosity about other people's lives. She's the sort of person who can make a complete stranger feel like an old friend within minutes, all while quietly learning far more than they're intending to share.

Please avoid portraying her as a villain or an exaggerated gossip. Her curiosity should feel genuine, with opportunism showing through in subtle, believable ways.

  • "Come in, come in! Don't stand there catching your death. I'll have something warm on the table before you've even found yourself a seat."

  • "Funny... you're the third person who's mentioned that today. Mind you, everyone's story's a little different. What did you hear?"

  • "Now, I never said I'd keep it a secret... I only said I wouldn't tell just anyone."

Role assigned to: Feo

Age: Late 40s

About the Character

This character rarely wastes words. Dry-witted, quietly observant and seemingly unimpressed by almost everything, they have a habit of pushing people away long before they have the chance to get close. Beneath the sharp remarks and guarded exterior, however, is someone fiercely loyal who cares far more deeply than they're willing to admit.

Personality
  • Dry-witted

  • Guarded

  • Loyal

  • Observant

  • Stubborn

Vocal Direction

Think restrained rather than cold.


This character doesn't raise their voice, doesn't overreact and doesn't waste energy on unnecessary words. Their humour is subtle, often delivered with impeccable timing and the faintest hint of sarcasm. Any warmth they show should feel earned rather than freely given.

Please avoid portraying them as cruel, constantly angry or emotionless. Their guarded nature comes from self-protection, not malice.

  • "Congratulations. You've managed to make today's problem tomorrow's problem. Efficient... in a way."

  • "If you're waiting for me to tell you everything will be alright... you'll be disappointed. But I'll stay until we've figured it out."

  • "Trust isn't difficult because people lie. It's difficult because, eventually... everyone leaves."

Role assigned to: Sophie Nyx

Age: Mid 40s

About the Character

This character owns the town's bookshop and has a reputation for knowing far more than they should. Intelligent, secretive and armed with a wonderfully dry sense of humour, they often seem to be one step ahead of everyone else. While they rarely reveal their full hand, their curiosity and love of knowledge make them an invaluable ally to those who earn their trust.

Personality
  • Knowledgeable

  • Secretive

  • Dry-witted

  • Curious

  • Observant

Vocal Direction

Think clever rather than mysterious.

This character enjoys keeping people guessing, but never feels theatrical or sinister. Their humour is subtle, their intelligence effortless, and they often sound as though they're quietly amused by the conversation around them.

They should feel like someone who chooses their words carefullyβ€”not because they're hiding everything, but because they enjoy letting others work things out for themselves.


Please avoid portraying them as overly dark, villainous or eccentric.

  • "You'd be amazed how many people insist on asking questions they don't actually want the answers to."

  • "Oh, I could tell you... but watching you figure it out is considerably more entertaining."

  • "Knowledge isn't dangerous. It's what people choose to do with it that worries me."

Role assigned to: RyanDeVaneVO

Vocal Range: Adult (30s–40s)

About the Character

This character spends their life travelling from place to place, collecting stories, unusual wares and the occasional secret along the way. Charming and endlessly adaptable, they have a habit of appearing exactly when they're neededβ€”and disappearing again before anyone can ask too many questions.

Personality
  • Charming

  • Adaptable

  • Opportunistic

Vocal Direction

We're looking for someone with a warm, engaging delivery and a natural gift for storytelling.

This character has seen a great deal of the world and delights in sharing snippets of it with others. They should sound curious, well-travelled and just a little unconventional, with an easy confidence that makes people want to keep listening.


Please avoid portraying them as overly mystical, absent-minded or theatrical.

Their eccentricity comes from experience, not from being disconnected from reality.

  • "Every town has its own stories. Some are written in books... the interesting ones are whispered over a warm drink after sunset."

  • "Oh, I could sell you the sensible option... but where's the adventure in that?"

  • "You learn a lot when you never stay in one place for too long. Mostly... that home isn't always somewhere you can point to on a map."

Role assigned to: David Wamala

Vocal Range: Adult (50s–60s)

About the Character

This character cares for the town's cemetery and has a quiet appreciation for life's fleeting moments. Thoughtful, observant and deeply practical, they have a calming presence that encourages others to slow down, reflect and simply be.

Personality
  • Quiet

  • Observant

  • Practical

Vocal Direction

We're looking for a calm, grounded performance with a naturally reassuring quality.


This character speaks thoughtfully and rarely wastes words. They should sound gentle without becoming timid, wise without sounding preachy, and compassionate without becoming overly sentimental. Their quiet confidence comes from lived experience, not authority.


Please avoid portraying them as eerie, ghostly or constantly melancholy. They work alongside loss every day, but that has given them peace rather than darkness.

  • "People think silence is empty. It isn't. You simply have to learn what it's trying to tell you."

  • "Grief has a habit of convincing us we're alone. It lies more often than people realise."

  • "Every garden needs tending eventually. Hearts aren't all that different."
