Neverbound

Neverbound

Project Overview

We're Ignition Theory, a small indie team based in Florida working on Neverbound - a grimdark party game (think Mario Party colliding with American McGee's Alice), and we're looking for voice actors to bring our characters to life.


The Project

  • Neverbound is a grimdark party game for 1-4 players

  • A dangerous board, twisted mini-games, and alliances built to be broken

  • Run by Game Master Alice, who's turned the whole thing into a game of misery

  • Hundreds of fully-voiced story scenes unlock as you play

  • The roster is built from "Fallen" fairy tale and folklore figures, reimagined with darkness underneath the legend

  • More at ignition-theory.games

About These Roles

  • Our original demo (built to chase funding) already exists and covers the four legends cast below. It is also now available to playtest on Steam.

  • All character bibles are fully locked, but some haven't been modeled in-game yet. Those who take these roles are the first real, human version of these characters.

  • These are long-term roles, not a one-off session — expect a real volume of lines across full arcs as development continues, not a quick demo script.

Compensation

  • Recording now is unpaid, same as every role on this project so far

  • Once Neverbound is funded, voice actors move onto a paid, industry-aligned contract for the full game

  • Full credit from day one, funded or not

Process

  • 100% remote

  • Full character packet + NDA provided right after selection

AI & Voice Safety Notice

We do not use generative AI for any final in-game assets. All art, writing, and voice acting in Neverbound is created entirely by real human artists and performers.

We also want every voice actor reading this to know: your audio will never be used for AI training, cloning, or machine-learning datasets, under any circumstances. Your voice is your craft, your identity, and your livelihood - and we take that seriously.

Latest Updates

  • Casting Update | New Role Now Open: Cinderella

    Hey everyone,

    Quick update on where things stand. We're currently reaching out for publisher, so for the next stretch we're moving a bit slower and more deliberately than before while that plays out.

    That said, we didn't want to go quiet on you. We're opening one new role: Cinderella, a female voice role and one of our base roster characters. The audition window will run for about a month.

    We've got more characters lined up for future rounds, but we're opening them one at a time on purpose right now, rather than all at once, mainly so we can actually give each audition the attention it deserves instead of getting buried the way a full batch would have us.

    If you're interested, the full casting call and character breakdown are live now. If this one isn't the right fit for you, it's still worth following the project. A lot more roles are coming.

    Thank you, as always, for the time and the talent you all keep bringing to this. 🐈‍⬛🔥

  • Casting Update | All Roles Closed (Wave 1) 🧡

    Hey everyone,

    We wanted to give a final update on the casting call. We’ve received far more auditions than we ever expected, and the amount of talent that showed up honestly blew us away. Because of that, we’ve now closed all three roles (Alice, Red Riding Hood, and Dracula). At this point, we’re moving into the final stage: we’re going through our shortlist and making our final decisions for the demo.

    If you didn't hear back, please don’t take it as a negative reflection of your work - the competition was extremely high, and narrowing it down has been genuinely difficult for us.

    This isn’t the end, though. We will keep this project public until the original deadline so anyone interested can still follow the project for Wave 2, which will include many more characters and fully paid roles.

    If you're interested in future casting rounds, feel free to follow the project — we’ll announce the next set of roles here.

    Thank you all for your time, your creativity, and your talent.
    You made this casting call something really special. 🤍🐇

  • Casting Update | Roles Update & Next Steps

    Thank you so much for the 150+ submissions, we honestly never expected to get anywhere near that number in just two weeks. It means a lot to us.

    We’ve gone through every single submission and heard a lot of talented people. Narrowing it down has been really difficult.

    We also want to clarify what our actions on your audition mean:
    - Followed + Dismissed
    We really liked your voice, it just wasn’t quite what we had in mind for this specific character. However, we do think your voice could be a great fit for one or more characters we have planned, and we’d love to have you audition again for future roles.
    - Dismissed
    Nothing personal about your audition, there were simply a lot of strong submissions, and we couldn’t say yes to everyone this round.

    We have many more characters planned. If you like the project, we’d love to have you stick around and keep an eye out for future casting calls. You can follow us on our socials for more updates, you can find them in our CCC profile.

    Thank you again for taking the time to submit. It genuinely means a lot to us.

  • Casting Update | 40+ Auditions Already?! 😵

    Wow. We honestly weren’t expecting this many auditions this fast. We’ve already passed 40 auditions in just under two days, and it’s been surreal hearing everyone’s takes on Alice, Red, and Dracula. Thank you for the energy - you’re all making this really exciting.


    Quick rundown:

    • Auditions are still open until the deadline, so you still have time to jump in.

    • We’ll be reviewing in batches (about once a week) and shortlisting so we don’t rush through anyone’s work.

    • Callbacks (a short second round with a few new lines and direction) will go out closer to the deadline, with final casting after that—so it’s normal if you haven’t heard back yet.

    If you’ve already auditioned: seriously, thank you. If you’re still thinking about it: get weird, get dramatic, and send it. We’ll see you down the rabbit hole. 🧡

Project Roles: Cinderella Alice & GM Red Riding Hood Dracula
Cinderella
Voice Actor Voice Actor
Cinderella
open
Deferred: Agreed Amount

  • Name: Zezolla (Cinderella)


  • Age: 24


  • Gender: Female


  • Core Personality: A survivor whose kindness is a daily, deliberate discipline, not a temperament - genuinely warm on the surface, feral and watchful underneath


  • Physical Vibe / Look: Low, skinny, cat-like silhouette; crouches and curls rather than stands tall. Ash-silver and charred black, a rust-red ribbon always at her wrist, glass shards worn like glitter in her hair and at her throat. Reads as small and harmless until you notice nothing about her is relaxed


  • Accent / Vocal Placement: Soft, unhurried, placed gently forward.
    Looking for a fluent Italian speaker, or someone who can deliver a genuinely convincing, natural Italian accent (same standard as Red's French - real fluency or a very strong ear for it, not a caricature)


  • Vocal Reference Examples: Nothing locked yet, but think quiet, restrained warmth over anything bright or theatrical


  • Emotional Range: Warmth → restrained, genuine tenderness → stillness under threat → grief that trails off mid-sentence rather than breaking. Her extremes are always quiet, never loud


  • Context: A woman who killed once as a child and has spent every year since refusing to become someone who could do it again, now pulled into a wonderland of shifting rooms and forced trials, still choosing gentleness on purpose, every single day


  • Performance Notes / Direction: Never rushed, never raised. Warmth that costs her something. Never carefree, never cold. She goes still rather than flinching, and lets pauses do the talking. Giggles and small tenderness are real releases, not nervous habits. Avoid anything that reads as menace, victimhood, saccharine, or performance. She states her past as fact, never as a plea


  • File Specs: WAV, dry, no effects. Clean microphone.
