I absolutely love Umineko, but it can be daunting to get into without English voices. I know that the Gold Version will be coming out soon, but I'd still love to take a crack at this! I think it'd be fun. And if it goes nowhere, oh well I guess. I hope everyone has fun! I would LOVE If you have some experience with Umineko, but I know that can be a tall order. I recommend at least checking it out!!
I will be using a youtube playthrough of the PS3 version as a base video and posting the videos on Youtube. I'm planning to communicate to all cast on discord. If you can, please put your discord in your audition! Thank you!
More roles added soon!
I may end up only doing the prologue, but every little bit will be fun!
(Feel free to join the discord! https://discord.gg/YMh83X8 )
Voice Actor
Battler is a more-or-less carefree teen/young adult who has been away from the Ushiromiya family for 6 years. He still feels great warmness for many members of his family despite this. He is playful, immature, and a little inappropriate at times. He loves to make jokes and see people happy. Even so, he can get very emotional and frustrated. Often he shouts out his excitement or frustration.
(Shows up at about 14:00 in the provided video)
If this is as tall as I get, I'd say that's enough! Actually, if I shortened a bit instead, it'd be easier to find clothes!
Tch, so you can smoke and drink? No interest in smoking, but I'd like to try booze, heeheehee! If you got your Dad's genes, you should be able to drink like a fish, huh?"
...I-in these days, to think that there's a dedicated and virtuous girl like this... Getting... giddy again!... But, no! NooOoo!! I'm coming at her with a perverted face again! Someone trip me!! No~oo, pervert! Without your word, I can't settle down! Please, I beg you, smack me! Like this, smack! Hit meeee~!!"
Dead people are supposed to have faces that look like they're sleeping peacefully, right?! There's no face, my dad and Kyrie-san have no faces!! I don't even know what kind of faces they were wearing when they died!! What's wrong with me!! Will I have to see these faces, smashed up like they're monsters, every time I remember Dad and the rest?! That's just great, I don't even want to remember that old bastard's smug face, just great, just great!!
(Please try a scream of anguish or sobbing so I can see your emotional range!)
Voice Actor
The head of the Ushiromiya family, Kinzo is an old man worth a fortune. Yet, he loves his alcohol and is prone to have fits of madness and rage. He is obsessed with his "Golden Witch Beatrice" and does not show trust to other family members.
(Shows up at about 1:58 in the provided video)
(calm, sentimental. He's with close friends.)
I thank you, though only for the sentiment. My friend. ...Genji. Another glass. Water it down slightly. That way Nanjo can save face.
(with a hint of madness)
It's useless, useless, useless!! It must be while I live, because if I die, my soul will be instantly devoured by the demon of the contract, will be erased, will disappear, for all time! I won't have peace in the world beyond death! That's why everything must be done while I'm alive!! That's why I have no need for a will or any such thing!! If I had time to write such things... if I had time!!
(Crying in madness. Play with it! Maybe try obsession or anguish)
One more time before I die, I want to see her face! BEATRICCCEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Voice Actor
The Ushiromiya family Physician. He is concerned for the health of Kinzo. He is a sensible, caring, and kind old man.
(Shows up at about 1:20 in the provided video)
...Kinzo-san. ...The reason your body appears to be doing well is due to the medicine's effects. However, if you keep drinking such strong spirits, the medicine will become meaningless. ...Trust my judgement. Refrain from drinking.
...You don't have much time.
No, not at all. ...A will is something where you leave your intentions behind. It does not only exist to split up the inheritance."
". Your unfinished matters. What you want to be passed down,what you want to convey. ...Anything is fine
Voice Actor
The head servant to the Ushiromiya Kinzo and the whole Ushiromiya head family. He is a disciplined man and works hard to take orders.
Often a man of few words.
(Shows up at about 2:40 in the provided video)
"Master..."
"...Milady. To the Master, this is an important portrait. I beg of you, do not say such a thing in front of him."
"Now, please leave it to me."
Voice Actor
The son of Hideyoshi and Eva. George is a 23-year old with a bright future ahead of him. Extremely intelligent and devoted to studying, he also is very good with children.
(Shows up at about 14:00 in the provided video)
Tha, that's not good, Battler-kun, aren't you still a minor? Drinking carries the possibility of having a bad effect on the growth of minors..., um, never mind.
That's true. I agree, this year's the most fun!
It's because Grandfather has especially strong willpower. But, it doesn't mean that his body will always follow that. Since last year, they keep saying that he has three months left. If the initial diagnosis was correct, Grandfather has been prolonging his life by willpower alone. It should be a cause for concern
..Stop it, Battler-kun...! Just stop it...just stop it...!
...Why...? After all, I won't be able to see Shannon's face again, right...? So, why can't I see... her last face...?
...I want you to look for me. On Shannon's finger... is there a ring...?
(In great anguish, the love of his life has died.)
Voice Actor
Battler's aunt, the wife of Hideyoshi, the mother of George and Kinzo's oldest daughter. Eva is an often condescending, determined, and overall badass woman. She wants what she wants and she wants it now. She has an air of importance and exaggerated regalness in her voice. Despite all this, she is still a kind mother and wife, protective of her family and her emotions.
(Shows up at about 17:00 in the provided video)
(Lighthearted, joking)
My, I'm sorry. I should leave you a piece to pull on. Rudolf? Be sure to get lots and lots of punishment afterwards from Kyrie-san, alright?
...Hmm~?! Who are you calling 'unsold'?
Then I'm sure that he will at least answer you, right? I want to at least eat breakfast with Father. I wonder if you could convince him to come down and join us? It seems that he thoroughly despises the rest of us, but I'm sure if his trusted Natsuhi asks, he will surely listen."
"...If you can't convince father after speaking to me so sharply, and have to come down by yourself... I'm sure you will never again be able to say that you're trusted by him, right...? *giggle* *giggle* *giggle*!George, take everyone and return to the mansion!!! Quickly!! Right now!!
Voice Actor
Battler's father and husband of Kyrie. Rudolf is a masculine big man. He is arrogant and cocky, and his relationship with Battler is a little strained. He often throws his weight around.
Sometimes I feel like he has sort of an announcer-like voice? I don't know, haha.
(Shows up at about 22:50 in the provided video)
You've been talking trash about me with mom again, haven't you? Why are you so unenthusiastic about the respect you owe your father, hmm?
Wait a sec, Kyrie, you've got to think about the troubles the new kid would have. I'm surprised Geroge-kun grew up so well after being born from this evil sister of mine. What an awesome kid. Share some of that with my dumbass son, would you.
Last year, his life expectancy was estimated at about three months. Which means that you could say that it's already minus nine months now, couldn't you? I guess this means that it could come at any time now.
Voice Actor
The youngest daughter of Kinzo, Rosa is the single mother of Maria. She is a strict parent and can appear to be overly critical of Maria, yet she truly does love Maria.
She is described as having "The most common sense of all the siblings."
(Shows up at about 33:00 in the provided video)
I'm sorry. The trains weren't running well. What's this, we're waiting on the weather again?
Well, let me see..., how much did we measure you at the other day? In any case, you're growing little by little. Aren't you now?
..We are not impatient. However, a decision between the siblings is essential. It doesn't matter when, but if the day when Father's condition worsens is approaching, discussing the matter beforehand isn't what I would call impatience..."
Hey, Maria! You shouldn't call him like that, call him Battler onii-chan...!
Voice Actor
Rudolf's wife and Battler's step-mom. She is a bit distant with Battler and acts more like a friend than a mother. She is extremely intelligent and enjoys strategy. She has a sort of secret badass side about her.
(Shows up at about 20:14 in the provided video)
Oh, you don't need to worry about that at all. Since we've been together, I haven't let him do that sort of thing by himself.
You know what happens if you don't get a proper grip, right?
So you're saying that even if his body is weak, his mind is still firm and spirited."
(Rudolf tells her to be quiet)"...Sorry."
It's amazing whenever you see it. It would be truly wonderful to have such a rose garden in one's home.
Voice Actor
Eva's wife and the CEO of a successful fast-food chain. He speaks in a distinct drawl /dialect/accent (it's reported that this accent is fake and uses it to be remembered in business. Some say he drops it when he hears legitimate speakers of that accent around.) He can be quite loud without realizing it. A very loving father and husband.
(I kept the accent vague because it might be fun to experiment! It's supposed to be the equivalent of a southern accent, but experiment if you want! Maybe Chinese or Scottish or just southern! Whatever you want!)
(Shows up at about 16:55 in the provided video)
Exactly! Battler-kun's got it! Men compete with their guts! Ya must never forget yer constant discipline. And, if ya wait vigilantly fer yer chance, ya'll make it blossom with a bang! Me, I never imagindd that I'd become the company president I am today... Yep, to think that I started out penniless and ruined...!
..So what does that mean? Just killin' 'em wasn't enough, they went on to do somethin' like this!! The devil, this here's the work of the devil!!
...No. There are six people. There's... one more person...
Voice Actor
Rosa's daughter, her father is unknown. She is a sweet nine-year-old who has the habit of speaking like a very small child and saying "Uuuuu-Uuuuu."
Her mother often criticizes her harshly for her behavior.
She loves to play around but harbors a secret interest in the occult. When speaking about
the occult, she adopts a more sinister and witch-like voice, she becomes more eloquent, and has a distinctive 'Ki-hi-hi" laugh.
(I recommend listening to Yui Horie's take to better understand the Uuuus)
(Shows up at about 33:00 in the provided video)
Uu-! So, how tall am I now?!
Nine years old. Uu-.
Battler Battler Battleeerrr! Uu-uu-!
(She is speaking of the occult, with a noticeably different voice)
Written on the top and bottom and left and right are the names of the angels who preside over wind, fire, earth and water. Chasan, Arel, Phorlakh, and Taliahad. And in the four corners are the names of the four great kings. Ariel., Seraph, Tharshis, and Cherub. Do they match?
"You must have at least read the Bible kihihihihihihi"
Voice Actor
The daughter of Krauss and Natsuhi, in line to succeed as the next head after her father. She doesn't care much for the strictness of her upbringing. She would rather be a free and happy teenager without so many limits and rules and etiquette. She likes to horse around and is described as having an oddly informal way of speaking.
Don't screw around with me, I'm a blushing flower of 18! Just like hair grows out, so'll other stuff! You think I got boobs just so you can go and rub 'em, loser!? And what about you, Battler? You got all ridiculously big only physically!! Did you get a little stronger?
R, really...? Personally, I don't think we look alike at all... I mean, I don't even want to look like my parents. 'Cause I got zero respect for 'em.
Dad, daaaad, DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD
DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD, AAAAHHH
*sobbing, crying and screaming over the death of her father*
Voice Actor
The wife of Krauss and the mother of Jessica, she feels as though her only job is to be perfect. The perfect woman of the house. The perfect wife. The perfect daughter-in-law. And that she should raise a perfect daughter. She often suffers from terrible migraines.
...I apologize. I was born with this discomfort.
...That's splendid. It would be nice if our Jessica could understand that, though. As it is now, she doesn't at all, but as the heiress of the Ushiromiya family,
(She is criticizing a young servant)
Leave the chatting for after you've set the table. The tea will get cold.
...Shannon, finish setting the table, quickly.
You mustn't, Jessica!! You mustn't go in!! You mustn't look!!!
Voice Actor
The highest-ranked family member after Kinzo, the oldest of the adult children. He lives on Rokkenjima with the rest of the main Ushiromiya family and is president of a large company. Often speaks in a very sure of himself and composed manner.
Hmph, isn't that pitiful. That's not something the mother of a child should say."
We have all intended to have an intellectual discussion for some time now, haven't we? ...It seems that your sarcasm is poorly timed. Just as it used to be.
It seems as though everyone is concerned about Father. ...Doctor Nanjo. Could we hear the details from you? It seems as though they are also hoping for that.
Father stated that he does not want his noble research interrupted. It seems he holds a grudge over the way we tried to force him out last year. Apparently, he strongly suspects that he'll be shut away in some hospital if he goes outside. And that's how things are now.
(sure of himself)
In other words, what you all have to say is something like this. Father's remaining life is short. You want to quickly enter into a practical conference concerning the distribution of the inheritance... Why are you so eager, I wonder? Certainly, as you say, estimating and distributing the Ushiromiya family's wealth is no simple task. In that case, shouldn't we carefully and deliberately calculate? It seems to me that you are all impatient to split up the cake tonight. That's true, isn't it Rosa? Is something making you impatient?
Voice Actor
An elderly servant of the Ushiromiya family, she is always making jokes and in high spirits. She may be old, but she has a lot of life about her!
She is kind and funny, yet pushing past 80 and soon will probably be physically unfit for work. She has a distinctive "ohohohoho" giggle/laugh (I recommend looking for some videos of the Japanese voice acting)
Hoh-hoh-ho! Lately, my skin has been getting all smooth and silky! And look, hasn't my chest gotten even bigger as well? ...Want to try rubbing it?
To sport with the young is the best rejuvenation medicine. Hoh-hoh-ho!
...Please forgive my indiscretion. It seems this old woman has said too much already. If I have hurt your feelings-
Or perhaps a huge lightning bolt fell one evening and smashed the shrine... The fisherman whisper that having a thunderbolt fall upon our honored tutelary God would be a certain sign of misfortune. Lightning begone, lightning begone..."
Voice Actor
An important servant to the Ushiromiya family, always aiming to kiss-up and please. He can be a little harsh on the other servants sometimes, but that's just because he wants to do his job well. He isn't mean, he just wants to do the best work he can do. He wants to put on a good show. He used to work in a restaurant and his passion is cooking exquisite meals for the Ushiromiya family.
I do apologize for the wait. I have been working for the Ushiromiya head house since the year before last. I am Gohda, your servant. It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance. If there is anything you can think to request, please ask me anytime.
Now then, everyone, if you please. I shall be guiding you to the rooms now.
Kanon-san. Could you perhaps give them a little more as a greeting...?
"Kanon-san, could you perhaps be a little more courteous? A smiling face is also the duty of a servant.
alright, everyone. When serving a dinner, proper timing in setting the table is essential. Please immediately see to setting out the soup. Genji-san, the women are in the middle of an important job, so please don't get in their way.
Voice Actor
A young servant of the Ushiromiya family who harbors feelings for George. She is often weak, shy, and submissive. All she wants to do is a good job for others. She just wants to do her best and not get in trouble or anyone's way.
..Umm... I'm, I'm terribly sorry... I'll find out for you later...
...I... I apologize, Madam.
I, I'm sorry, Madam...
...It's alright, Kanon-kun, thank you. I really don't mind...
Stop it, Kanon-kun... If you'll excuse me. I'll return to work immediately. Kanon-kun, you too, go back to your post. Please."
*giggle* Maria-sama is not unsociable at all.
...I couldn't obey that as a promise. But, if it was an order, I would have to obey it... Because I'm... furniture
Voice Actor
Kanon is a teen servant of the Ushiromiya family. Often pessimistic and brooding, he doesn't think of himself as human. He is simply "furniture" to be used by those he works for. He forces himself to suppress his emotions. His voice is a little high for a boy since he's a teen (and reminds me of Len from Vocaloid, if that helps at all.)
However, he shows a lot of emotion when defending and fighting for those he loves, often rage.
He **does** have emotions, he just suppresses them.
...Thank you very much. But just the sentiment is sufficient, Battler-sama
...I apologize. I shall make an effort.
..I'm fine. Because I'm... furniture.
..I wonder if this means that the Master's ceremony has already begun.
Wh, what was that sound...?!
...In roulette, you bet on a number or the colors red or black, vying for a payoff. However, low risk bets like black and red only offer a similarly low payoff.
..I have no interest what kind of 'magic' you and the Master were seeking when you spun that roulette... But you forgot something. You forgot that roulette has a pocket that is neither black nor red
...This isn't one of the Master's rules, and it certainly isn't one of yours. I made this rule myself. I'm not furniture anymore. I'm the zero on your roulette...!
WAIT ANOTHER THOUSAND YEARS IN HELL FOR YOUR SUMMONER BEATRICCCEEEE
Voice Actor
The Golden Witch of Rokenjima. She speaks in a very exaggerated and self-important tone. I really recommend listening to Sayaka Ohara. It's just so gooddddd
This story is fictional.
Any resemblance to real people, events, etc. is purely coincidental.
I can kill them. I can kill them just like this...! *cackle*cackle*cackle*!
*cackle*cackle*! You would explain my thousand years with a hundred years by humans...? Good, good, that's why I like you...!"
Voice Actor
Minor voices and characters, but they don't appear often.
Will probably use previously cast people to play them.
This is your pilot, We'd like to thank you for taking New Tokyo aviation's flight 201 today. We estimate the flight to Nijima airport will take about 20 minutes."
