Turnbuckle Hearts - Wave 2
Project Overview
I’m developing a character-driven visual novel centered around professional wrestling, with a mix of high-energy personalities and grounded character moments. The story of Turnbuckle Hearts is about a young professional wrestler who starts from nothing and rises the ranks for the purpose of seeking answers. Live life in the ring and out of it as you bond with your friends, perform in matches, assist in matches, and date divas!
Turnbuckle Hearts currently has a Steam presence and demo located at:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/4833420/Turnbuckle_Hearts/
The full game is still in production and will not be released for some time, so this audition is for long-term casting consideration rather than immediate full-game recording.
Actors cast as Roxy Riot or Luna Nightfall will be considered part of the main game cast and will also be asked to participate in short promotional recordings for TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube. These promo spots are expected to be brief, usually around 20 seconds each, and will help introduce the characters and promote the project while the main game continues development.
Please only audition if you are comfortable with the unpaid nature of the role, the longer development timeline, and occasional short-form promotional voice work.
No clear payment schedule is clearly decided yet. Turnbuckle Hearts is self-funded. If the game shows signs of being profitable, voice actors will be paid.
What can you expect from me? I do absolutely no gate-keeping at crediting voice talent. Inside the game there are clickable links to voice actors pages/social media page. I also allow use of clips and videos to be used in their reels.
I also don't use AI for this project, and don't do any AI-based stuff to your vocals.
The only thing I do to vocals is volume adjustments, trimming/cropping, and adding echo/reverb where necessary.
Expectations
- Clear, good-quality audio (minimal background noise) Home-setups are perfectly fine.
- Consistent recording setup across all lines
- Use of a pop filter or similar for clean vocal delivery
- Willingness to sign a simple release form for project use
- Ability to deliver lines within a reasonable timeframe and communicate proactively if delays occur
- You are not expected to edit and crop your vocals. You can send your lines in one audio file (separated by scene preferably)
- I will grant access to scenes of the script that have your character in it. You can ctrl + f right to your character, but please do read surrounding dialogue for context.
Character media and visual references are available here:
Voice Actor
Strong, blunt, and fiercely protective. Roxy is a powerhouse with a tough exterior, but underneath the attitude is someone loyal, sincere, and emotionally honest when it counts.
Involvement Grade: A - Major recurring character and one of the main female cast members. Significant presence in the full game. Also has romantic scenes. (Not 18+)
Direction: Confident, grounded, and physical. Roxy should sound like someone who can command a room without trying too hard. She can be cocky and playful, but avoid making her sound mean or one-note. There should be warmth underneath the toughness.
Voice Reference: Think a tough, athletic tomboy type with protective big-sister energy. Strong and punchy, but still natural. Less “angry brute,” more “confident fighter who cares more than she admits." Don't put too much emphasis on the voice being deep, lean more into tomboy.

Okay, Dojo Boy. When you finally join the rest of civilization, look me up. Try not to get flattened before then.
Sounds like you have some stories to tell. Sit with me. For entertainment.

Voice Actor
Mysterious, alluring, and controlled. Luna speaks with quiet confidence, carrying herself like someone who knows more than she says. She can be intimidating, but there is emotion beneath the mask.
Involvement Grade: A - Major recurring character and one of the main female cast members. Significant presence in the full game. Romantic scenes. (Not 18+)
Direction: Cool, smooth, and deliberate. Luna should not sound overly dramatic or cartoonishly seductive. Keep her voice controlled and composed, with moments of sharp intensity when the scene calls for it. She should feel dangerous, elegant, and emotionally guarded.
Voice Reference: Think mysterious anime anti-heroine energy; calm, stylish, and difficult to read. Less “breathy seductress,” more “quiet storm.” Not completely monotone but close to it.

How do you feel? Don’t move too quickly. You hit your head.
I do not rescue people because I am kind. I rescue them because I know what it feels like when no one comes.
The moon has turned. So will you. (Signature move) Total Eclipse!
