LOVE: An Undertale Series (Voice Actors)
Project Overview
"LOVE" is a fan animation project based on the popular video game Undertale created by Toby Fox. It focuses on the new lives of the main characters living on the Surface near Mt. Ebott. The overall themes are drama and humor, with a hint of mystery. Episode release dates are TBD, but we aim for either 2019 or 2020 for our first two episodes. Since this is a fan-based project, it will be unpaid. This is a good opportunity for people to gain experience through creating something based on a game we love. Please understand that, besides animation, there are so many other countless things that go into the process of a series. So things will take a very long time before something comes to fruition. Being patient is important for both fans and team members to remember when eagerly awaiting or creating something as big as an animated series.
Arc 1-Introduction
This arc focuses on the main characters and how they live their lives on the surface. Not too much tension, as things will be set in place before they are set in motion.
Arc 2-???
This arc touches on a very serious matter that involves the relationship between monsters and humans on the surface. More things are set in place and more of this AU's lore is revealed. This also focuses on how the main characters are dealing with this adversity
Arc 3-Loss ( l ll ll l_)
This arc holds the drastic emotional shift in the series and deals primarily with the relationships the main characters have with each other. This also touches more on Frisk's character traits, and either resolves or intensifies certain issues other characters were having in the previous arcs.
Arc 4-Finale
This arc is when tensions reach their breaking point. All things are brought to the forefront before ending on something bittersweet

Hello, everyone! First I would like to wholeheartedly apologize for such a long delay. There have been many complications as of late that has put the last casting roles on hold. But now, we're finally ready to choose the winners! Due to the announcement being so late, I have considered late auditioners as well. So without further ado, let's get this show on the road! The deadline for Minor Characters has finally been reached. We would like to thank you all for exhibiting your voice acting talents and auditioning for these roles. After some careful consideration, we have chosen a variety of voices for each role: FOR MALE VOICES, WE HAVE CHOSEN... -Slayings -CopyrightedToast -JacobAllenVO -Weblorex -Jaydotremy -wph -JoesphKVoices -Tom Jib FOR FEMALE VOICES, WE HAVE CHOSEN... -AmaWahYah -Miss Mar -iolite_crystal -Icycube -Jiayin Sun -Salsahero -Fuyucci -AKL1 FOR ANDROGYNOUS VOICES, WE HAVE CHOSEN... -CopyrightedToast -lilrage -Tom Jib -Luirae **NOTE: we are only able to choose one person for each casting role, but we will message all of the winners to let them know that they were chosen.** Congratulations to you all for being our new minor voices! The next thing we will need from you is your Discord account name and email address (along with a Trello Account. If you don't have one, please make one or ask us if you have any questions). We are still a bit busy, so it may still take us a bit to comment and message all the winners for the very last roles. We would like to also apologize again for taking so long to get back to you guys for these last auditions. And for those who weren't able to get in, please don't be discouraged. You have done your best and that is all anyone can ask of you. There were a number of incredibly tough calls for us that we had to make for every single role. It has been an incredible ten months, and I would like to thank you all for even giving us the time of day! It really means so so much to us! :) We will post a final update for those who still follow this casting call once our animatic has been made (in addition to linking it here and on some of our social media!) Until then, see you in the next one~! <3

Voice Cast: Grillby
Hello, everyone! The deadline for Grillby has finally been reached. We would like to thank you all for exhibiting your voice acting talents and auditioning for this role. After some careful consideration, we have come to a decision. Congratulations to Thelightsmen for being our new Grillby voice! We would like to also apologize again for taking so long to get back to you guys for these last auditions. CCC has been giving quite a number of unfavorable updates to their website as of late, and it's made everything a lot more difficult for us (you are taken to a completely different page and have to scroll through auditions, thus nullifying the bell notifications on the home page which is incredibly stupid and frustrating. On top of that, you can immediately reject or cast people to remove them from these different notifications, which isn't what we want to do, especially so early. They should really fix this in my opinion, as it's been steadily messing up my casting call and I don't like it). This leaves the last roles, minor voice actors, for us to choose. We will be choosing a number of people throughout the week and will give another update by the end of this week or the start of next week. We will be reviewing all of the submitted minor roles audio at this time. Have a great day! And thanks so much again for auditioning! As always, it means a lot to us! -
Choosing Voices (Announcements Later This Week)
Hey! Sorry for such late announcements. We've been very, very swamped as of late! The last bit of deadlines have been reached today and yesterday! So a few supervisors and I are gonna be choosing some people over time this week. So do be on the lookout for another announcement of ours in the near future! -
Another Voice Role Extension (Grillby)
Hey all! Apologies for us being a bit inactive for a while. There has been a lot of ups and downs in people's personal lives at the moment, so our minds have been a bit elsewhere from this project. Please understand that we're all doing our best here and this year has proven to be both wonderful and painful for a lot of us. We've been so distracted that we need to give the GRILLBY ROLE yet another week extension for the project. So you guys got pretty lucky! If you still wish to voice this character, you still have until OCTOBER 22ND to do so! All other remaining deadlines will stay the same until further notice. Good luck everyone! :D -
CCC Notifications Error
It would also seem that we are experiencing some issues with the notification feature on CCC's website. There apparently have been a number of new voice submissions to this casting call, but I haven't been notified in quite some time, so if you've auditioned and we haven't responded to it yet, I sincerely apologize. I'll get to them as soon as I can!
We kept telling each other jokes for hours. Eventually, I had to leave. Papyrus gets kind of cranky without his bedtime story. But she told me to come by again, and so I did. Then I did again. And again. It's a thing now. Telling bad jokes through the door. It rules. One day, though, I noticed she wasn't laughing very much. I asked her what was up. Then she told me something strange. "If a human ever comes through this door... watch over them and protect them, will you not?" Now, I hate making promises. And this woman, I don't even know her name. But... someone who sincerely likes bad jokes... has an integrity you can't say "no" to. Do you get what I'm saying? That promise I made to her... you know what would have happened if she hadn't said anything?...buddy.... Y o u ' d b e d e a d w h e r e y o u s t a n d
*raises a hand and waves* Heya. (sarcastically) You've been busy, huh? *chuckles* So I've got a question for ya. (sternly) Do you think even the worst person can change...? That everyone can be a good person, if they just try? *a long pause* *unsettling chuckles* *sighs* All right. Well, here's a better question. (angrily) Do you wanna have a bad time? Cause if you take another step forward... you are REALLY not going to like what happens next. *a long pause* *defeated sigh* Welp. *shrugs* (nonchalant) Sorry, old lady. (sternly and quietly) This is why I never make promises...
OR
(sarcastically) Sounds strange, but before all this I was secretly hoping we could be friends. I always thought the anomaly was doing this cause they were unhappy, and (pondering) when they got what they wanted, *slow pause* (quietly) they would stop all this. And maybe all they needed was... *shrugs shoulders and winks* I dunno, some good food, some bad laughs, some nice friends. *chuckle* But that's ridiculous, right? *scoffs* (angrily) Yeah you're the type of person who won't EVER be happy. You'll keep consuming timelines over and over, until... *eyes lower* (half serious) well. Hey. Take it from me kid. Someday... you gotta learn when to QUIT. (shouting) And that day's TODAY!!Toriel: Is something the matter, Sans?
Sans: heh. nothing. don't worry about me, tori. i'm fine
Toriel: Okay, but... remember that we're here to eat noodles, not be lost in our own noodle! *smirks*
Sans: *laughs* wow. that was a good one. at this rate, i'd better learn to 'ketchup' with you and your jokes
Toriel: *laughs* Oh, I think it would be im-pasta-ble to 'ketchup' to me now!
Sans: (a little pouty) hey, those are my jokes. you can't use them against me!
Toriel: Well, I just did! Make some more puns for me to steal!
Sans: *folds his arms across his chest and closes his eyes* nope. no way, tori. you're not getting another joke outta this bonehead... *slyly smirks and opens one eye in her direction* (coyly) unless you give me some sugar
Toriel: *blinks in surprise* What?
(Sans then points to a small box on the table. It contains numerous little packets of sugars and sweeteners)
Sans: the sugar, tori. could you pass me some please? this water needs it
Toriel: (stammering) Oh! You meant--I mean, of course I knew what you meant! *feigned laugh* *she passes him two packets* Here you go *blushes a little*
(Toriel hands him two packets of sugar as she looks at Frisk who confusingly stares at her a bit. She fidgets in her seat before collecting herself again)
Sans: (sarcastically) ah, how sweet of you, tori!
Toriel: (equally sarcastic) Only for the best pun-master in the Underground!
Sans: but tori, we're not in the underground anymore!
Toriel: *leans across the table closer to Sans* Oh, so I guess that means you aren't the pun-master anymore...
Sans: *leans across the table closer to Toriel* hey, i still am. i've just... changed location
Toriel: *leans closer* Oh is that so?
Sans: *leans closer* yeah...
Toriel: Well, it seems to me that you've turned into quite the egg since you've left the underground
Sans: *sits back upright* huh?
Toriel: (struggling to hold back her snickers) Because... you always crack up at your own yokes! *laughs heartily*
Sans: *stares for a second before laughing too* *happy tears form in his eyes* oh man, tori, that was too good!
Toriel: Well, glad that lifted up your soul a little!
Sans: yeah, it did. thanks
Toriel: Anytime! I'm always here for you, you know? *places her large furry hand on his head* You are my special bone friend and you mean a lot to me!
Sans: *blushes slightly* t-thanks. and uhh... you mean a lot tomato! *snickers*
Sans and Toriel: *snickers then laughs uncontrollably*
PLEASE BE SURE TO READ EVERYTHING BEFORE SENDING IN YOUR LINE AUDITIONS
Short Bio:
Mettaton is the fabulous and charismatic ghost-turned-robot who once fought Frisk in the Underground. He has a strong obsession with humans and is one of the few monsters to have successfully achieved stardom on the surface. Having become a near-instant success, he owns a variety of shops, products, and businesses. His positive popularity among humans also gives him leverage to hire monsters to work on the surface. One of his most successful ways to bridge the relationship between monsters and humans is through his television show. Given his powerful and influential voice on the surface, he takes full advantage of this. However, his fame and fortune has made him a bit arrogant at times, but he means well. He tends to get a bit carried away and sometimes doesn’t listen to reason, which can get him into trouble with his ratings…
What We Are Looking For:
First and foremost, please do the best that you can with your Mettaton voice. Do not stress yourself out into doing something that isn't comfortable in your vocal range. Second, there may be a chance that we choose TWO voice actors for this role. The Sava Phoenix Crew is currently deciding whether or not Mettaton's BOX form should have a separate voice from the EX form. Regardless of what we decide to do, we’re open to a variety of different kinds of voices for Mettaton. Something a bit higher pitched or with a more effeminate tone would be nice, but is not necessary. Mettaton is a very flamboyant and dramatic character, so you really need to deliver your lines strongly for this audition, no matter what kind of voice you go with. If a scene asks you to be cold and distant one second, and then extremely apologetic the next, then you NEED to deliver those lines effectively.
When you are recording your lines, please keep in mind that we need to hear your natural voice with no edited effects. It’s good to have the ability to input effects, but it is not necessary for this audition as we have a sound designer who can do that for us.
To help you better judge the lines for the character, here are a list of some positive and negative traits. It's pretty self-explanatory, but I think having a list still proves helpful for our current voice actors.
Positive Traits
-Flashy
-Stylish
-Loves Humans
-Charming
-Charismatic
-Talented
-Goofy
-Expressive
-A True Visionary
-Adventurous
-Attention-Getter
-Flexible
-Multi-tasker
Negative Traits
-Self-Conscious
-Shallow
-Rude
-Self-Centered
-Unfairly Harsh Towards Alphys
-Somewhat Desperate
-Too Idealistic
-Abusive to Staff
-Drama Queen
-Doesn’t Listen
-Over Exaggerative
-Horrible Business Practices
-Show-Off
-Battery-Powered
About the Lines
LIne 1: This is a piece of dialogue from the game. There are no real directions for this line. Just give us your best shot without having been given any direction. Keep in mind the expectations/requirements listed above!
Line 2: Here is another piece of dialogue from the game. The only difference between this and the first line is that the producer/director has put a little more direction for you. If chosen, you'll be reading your lines from a script that will mostly look like this. You must follow the instructions given to you. So, have fun with this one! Again, do your best, and keep in mind the expectations/requirements as listed above!
Line 3: This is part of an excerpt that most likely will appear in one of our episodes. The episode deals with Mettaton trying to save what's left of his show while having Undyne as his chaotic guest. The excerpt shows an angry Mettaton getting ready to kick Undyne out of his studios. This is what a script would look like, should you be chosen for this character. Due to Casting Call Club suddenly changing their formats, we have had to adjust the layout of this particular line set. Please check the other main characters on this casting call to see what our format will actually look like. All of Mettaton’s lines are underlined in the script. There will also be cues much like from the previous line that must be followed. However, please pay attention to the actions and descriptions listed in the parentheses as well. They may contain important actions from the characters that cannot simply be expressed in the dialogue lines themselves, so be careful not to miss that. Again, do your best and keep in mind the expectations/requirements as listed above!
Oh~ Yes! Welcome, beauties, to the Underground's Premier Cooking Show! Pre-heat your ovens, because we've got a very special recipe for you today! We're going to be making... A CAKE! My lovely assistant here will gather the ingredients. Everyone give them a big hand! We'll need sugar, milk, and eggs. Go for it, sweetheart! PERFECT! Great job, beautiful! We've got all of the ingredients needed to bake the cake! Milk... sugar... Eggs... OH MY! Wait a magnificent moment! How could I forget! We're missing the most important ingredient!
...A HUMAN SOUL! AHAHAHAHAHA!
(long and drawn out) Oh yes! (relieved) There you are, darling! It's time to have our little showdown. It's time to finally stop... *chuckles* (with extreme exaggeration) the "malfunctioning" robot. *waves a finger in the air* (playfully) ...NOT! *scoffs* Malfunction? Reprogramming? (vexed) Get real. This was all just a big show. An act, honey. (a matter-of-fact tone) Alphys has been playing you for a fool this whole time. As she watched you on the screen, she grew attached to your adventure. (feigned pleading) She desperately wanted to be a part of it. (a matter-of-fact tone) So, she decided to insert herself into your story. She reactivated puzzles. She disabled elevators. She enlisted me to torment you. (very somber) All so she could save you from dangers that didn't. Even. Exist. *a small laugh* (struggling to hold in laughter) All so you would think that she's this great person... that she's not. *laughs a short while longer before regaining his composure* (a bit serious) And now, it's time for her finest hour. At this very moment, Alphys is waiting outside the room. (with extreme sarcasm) During our... "battle," she will interrupt. She will pretend to "deactivate" me, "saving" you one final time. (as if delivering a great speech) Finally. She'll be the heroine of your adventure. You'll regard her so highly she'll even be able to convince you not to leave.... *a posh laugh* (very grim) Or not. (blatantly) You see, I've had just about enough of this predictable charade. I have no desire to harm humans. Far from it, actually. My only desire is to entertain. (very flirty) After all, the audience deserves a good show, don't they? *sinister chuckle* And what's a good show... (excitedly shouting) WITHOUT A PLOT TWIST?! Sorry, folks! The old program's been cancelled!! But we've got a finale that will drive you wild! (gradually gets louder and more excited) Real drama. Real ACTION! REAL BLOODSHED!! On our new show... (excitedly shouting) "ATTACK OF THE KILLER ROBOT!"
(People and monsters are moving frantically back and forth both on and off the stage. Mettaton and Undyne are… well…)
Mettaton: (Sternly and angrily) Out.
Undyne: Aw, come on, Metta—
Mettaton: (even more aggressively) I want you out! Out of my sight. Out of my show. Out of my studio. I can finish the show without you!
Undyne: *hands on her hips* And what are you gonna tell Alphys then?
(In the distance, the director is making his way to both of them. Neither of them notices.)
Mettaton: *scoffs* (mockingly) What am I going to tell her? Isn’t it obvious? I’m going to tell her the truth! I’m going to tell her how her brutish girlfriend nearly destroyed my set and got me kicked off the air! (gradually getting louder) I’m going to tell her how she couldn’t follow my one simple rule: to control herself! I’m going to tell her that—
Director: (cautiously) Er… excuse me, er… Mettaton…
Mettaton: (exasperated) WHAT?!
Director: (intimidated) I-I-I’m so sorry to bother you, b-but I, uh… well here.
(The director hands Mettaton a sheet of paper with a long list of numbers and charts. Mettaton stares at it for a long time. Undyne tries to speak, but Mettaton holds up a finger to silence her as he continues reading.)
Mettaton: (confused) But… but I don’t understand… You… you told me that the ratings were the lowest you’ve ever seen!
Director: Y-yes… they were.
Mettaton: (angrily) So then why are you giving me this graph showing that our ratings and view count have actually DOUBLED?!
Director: Because they have! Ever since Undyne took out the lights in the first half of the segment, more and more people have suddenly started tuning in. If she keeps this up, ‘MTT on STV’ might have enough ratings to even satisfy the big guy upstairs!
Mettaton: *gasps* (quietly to himself) And then we can stay on the air…
(Mettaton sheepishly turns to face Undyne as she crosses her arms. She now has an extremely smug look plastered across her face. She begins tapping her foot impatiently while staring long and hard at the robot. Her eyelids lower as she gives an exaggerated sigh)
Undyne: Welp… I guess I’d better go now… wouldn’t want to ruin your show any further… *distances herself*
Mettaton: *growls, then raises a pleading hand* Wait, Undyne… (cautiously) I-I’m sure we can fix this. After all, *clears his throat* this was just a little… ahem, misunderstanding? *weakly chuckles*
Undyne: (extremely sarcastic) Oh no! There’s no misunderstanding at all! It’s completely my fault. You were right. Alphys shouldn’t have brought me here on the show. *dramatically places a hand to her cheek* I’m ruining everything! I should just leave! *distances herself more*
Mettaton: (panicking) N-No! You’re staying! (desperately) Y-you have to! Or my show will—
Undyne: I think you’ve made it perfectly clear that the show will be fine without me… (mockingly) See ya later, ‘darling!’
(Undyne laughs before slowly walks towards the exit. Suddenly, Mettaton darts over to Undyne and falls to the floor, gripping at her ankles and stopping her in her tracks)
Mettaton: (very exaggerated) Pleeease, Undyne! I’m begging you! Stay! *feigned crying* I’m nothing without my show! You have to stay! I’ll do anything! Anything!
Undyne: *folds her arms* (slyly) ‘Anything’ you say?
Mettaton: (dramatic crying) Yes, Undyne! Anything!
Undyne: *half smiles then sighs* Alright then, I’ll stay on your stupid show.
(Mettaton gleefully stands upright and claps his hands together)
Mettaton: (elated) Oh, this is wonderful! My director’s gonna get everything back on track so we can—
Undyne: Slow down there, rectangle. I’ve got conditions for bein’ on your show.
Mettaton: *scoffs* (skeptical) What kind of conditions would you want?
Undyne: (angrily) You said you'll do anything, didn’t ya?!
Mettaton: (nervously) Y-yes…
Undyne: Well then, you’re honored guest’s gonna need to see a few modifications on your show
Mettaton: *folds arms across his chest* Hmph! Well, I never!
Director: Mettaton, I-I’ve gotta get back in place. We have to get back on the air in about three minutes!
(Mettaton shudders as the director walks away. Undyne still has her arms crossed with a sly look on her face)
Mettaton: (hesitantly) …W-what… what kind of modifications?
Undyne: Heh. I thought you’d never ask…
PLEASE BE SURE TO READ EVERYTHING BEFORE SENDING IN YOUR LINE AUDITIONS
**NOTE** This character may be subject to becoming the main voice of the series, but as of right now we are not sure. We will notify everyone in the casting call by May
**NOTE** This character may not appear in the series until much later, so you may not have any lines for a long time, aside from comic dubs and other possible voicing projects
Short Bio:
Flowey is the deranged flower experiment created by Doctor Alphys in the Underground. He was once Prince Asriel, son of Asgore and Toriel before he and his adopted human brother tragically passed away. Flowey does not have the ability to love or show compassion to others, but desperately craves it. That desire is heavily masked by his insanity and innate boredom with his predictable life as a flower in the underground. Flowey did not travel to the surface with Frisk and the others and refuses to join them out of fear of both destroying their newfound happiness and knowing all too well that he won't be able to feel joy on the surface himself. Much of his role in the LOVE series is a mystery, but he will still be a pivotal character for the animated series, as he was in the game.
What We Are Looking For:
First and foremost, please do the best that you can with your Flowey voice. Do not stress yourself out into doing something that isn't comfortable in your vocal range. Flowey should have a voice that is distinctly young, but not childish. We are sure you've seen countless comic dubs and impressions on the internet, so we aren't strictly looking for a specific voice for Flowey outside of this. The biggest factor for this character is anger and insanity. We really need you to deliver these lines effectively, especially when certain scenes may call for it later in the series. Laughing wildly and freely is also a must for this character! When you are recording your lines, please keep in mind that we need to hear your natural voice for these lines with little to no edited effects. We already have a sound designer on the team who can edit sound effects for Flowey so that's not necessary in your audition. We don't want that hindering the judging process when we choose a voice for Flowey.
To help you better judge the lines for the character, here are a list of some positive and negative traits. It's pretty self-explanatory, but I think having a list still proves helpful for our current voice actors.
Positive Traits
-Very Determined
-Incredibly Strong
-Has a Nice Smile
-No Longer Wishes to Harm Frisk
-Knows What's Right and Wrong
-Philosophical
-Fast Learner
Negative Traits
-Definitely Chaotic Evil (or Chaotic Neutral)
-Despondent
-Manipulative
-Cynical
-Isolate
-Lonely
-Pessimistic
-Greedy
-Empty
About the Lines
LIne 1: This is a piece of dialogue from the game. There are no real directions for this line. Just give us your best shot without having been given any direction. Keep in mind the expectations/requirements listed above!
Line 2: You can choose one of two of these dialogue pieces from the game. One is from Flowey's Story when talking to Chara, and the other is from when Flowey absorbs all six of the human souls. The only difference between these and the first line is that the producer/director has put a little more direction for you. If chosen, you'll be reading your lines from a script that will mostly look like this. You must follow the instructions given to you. So have fun with this one! If you feel like you can do both dialogue lines here, then be our guest, but just know that only one is needed for this line. Again, do your best, and keep in mind the expectations/requirements as listed above!
Line 3: This is an excerpt of what a script would look like, should you be chosen for this character. This is a short, non-canon excerpt written by the lead writer herself. Due to Casting Call Club suddenly changing their formats, we have had to adjust the layout of this particular line set. Please check the other main characters on this casting call to see what our format will actually look like. The dialogue piece is sort of a monologue, since it consists of Flowey berating the player (not Frisk) for attempting so many resets. All of Flowey's lines are boldened in the script. There will also be cues much like from the previous line that must be followed. However, please pay attention to the actions and descriptions listed in the parentheses as well. They may contain important actions from the characters that cannot simply be expressed in the dialogue lines themselves, so be careful not to miss that. Again, do your best and keep in mind the expectations/requirements as listed above!
Clever. Verrrryyy clever. You think you're really smart, don't you? So you were able to play by your own rules. You spared the life of a single person. But don't act so cocky. I know what you did. You murdered her. And then you went back, because you regretted it. Ha hahaha... you naive idiot. Do you think you are the only one with that power? The power to reshape the world... purely by your own determination? The ability to play GOD! The ability to "SAVE." I thought I was the only one with that power. But... I can't SAVE anymore. Apparently, your desires for this world override mine. Well, well. Enjoy that power while you can. I'll be watching.
(agitated) I wasted weeks with that stupid king, vainly hoping I would feel something. *low chuckle* But it became too much for me. I ran away from home. Eventually, I reached the ruins. *a wide smile* (gleefully) Inside I found HER, Chara. I thought of all people, SHE could make me feel whole again... *smiles weakly* (in disbelief) She failed. *laughs weakly before trailing off* Then I realized those two were useless. I became despondent. (steadily growing more and more upset) I just wanted to love someone. I just wanted to care about someone! *hesitates for a moment* Chara, you might not believe this... but I decided... *sadly shakes his head* (defeated tone) It wasn't worth living anymore. Not in a world without love. *smiles sadly* (quiet and sad) Not in a world without you... So I decided to follow in your footsteps. I would erase myself from existence. *scoffs then laughs* And you know what? (joyfully) I succeeded.
OR
(very chipper) Howdy! It's me, Flowey. Flowey the Flower! (mockingly) I owe you a HUGE thanks. You really did a number on that old fool. Without you, (overly joyful) I NEVER could have gotten past him. But now, with your help (uncomfortably somber) he's dead. (proudly) And I'VE got the human souls! *cackles wildly* (chipper again) Boy! I've been empty for so long... it feels great to have a soul inside me again. Mmmm, I can feel them wriggling... *giggles then looks back at Frisk* (sarcastically) Aww, you're feeling left out, aren't you? Well, that's just perfect. After all, I only have six souls. (singing) I still need one more... (menacingly) before I become GOD. And then, with my newfound powers... Monsters. Humans. (shouting, and also drawn out) EVERYONE! (threateningly) I'll show the all the REAL meaning of this world *cackles wildly again* Oh, and forget about escaping to your old save file. (menacingly) It's gone forever. (sickeningly sweet) But don't worry. Your old friend Flowey has worked out a replacement for you! (sinister) I'll save over your own death so you can watch me tear you to bloody pieces... over, and over, and over... *cackles then stops abruptly* *looks down at Frisk* (still sinister) What? Do you really think you can stop ME? *giggles* (in disbelief) You really ARE an idiot.
(Nothing but the same black screen is shown at the end of the game. Suddenly, a small flower pops up from the ground. It holds the same feigned smile towards the player)
Flowey: (sarcastically) Well, here we are again. Alone in the darkness. Frisk and the others are free… (annoyed) and you’ve chosen to yet again waste your precious time with little old me!
(There is an unusually long pause from Flowey, as if to give this mysterious player some time to respond or reflect)
Flowey: So, how many times has it been now? Twenty? Thirty? Sixty? (mildly angry) Do you like being stuck in this limbo hell? Because I know for a fact that you’re not innocent. *snickers* Look at you… you’re exactly like me. Insatiable. (inquisitive tone) I wonder what paths you’ve taken. You’ve done this so many times, I bet you don’t even know why you’re here anymore…
(Again, there’s a pause, not as long as the first, but still unusually long. The silence is broken from a sudden outburst of maniacal laughing)
Flowey: *laughing continues then fades* Sometimes I wonder what exactly goes on in that stupid head of yours. (steadily grows louder and angrier over time) Did you ever have any shred of compassion? Do you think that there's something more for you here? What keeps you coming back reset after reset?
(Flowey stares out into the darkness as if waiting for an answer, knowing good and well that there will never be one)
Flowey: And what about Frisk and the others, huh? Do you like keeping everyone down here time and time again? What kind of game are you playing here?
(His twisted smile holds for a little bit until the silence grows. His expression then drops from elated to agitated)
Flowey: (upset) How annoying. It’s like I’m talking to nothing here. *a wicked smile comes across their face* (somber) But I know you’re there. *another pause* Sometimes I wonder if I should stop you… but I know there isn’t anything that I can do
(Flowey seems to be lost in thought, but only for a moment before raising his head back up to confront the player)
Flowey: *exasperated chuckle* (as if in revelation) …Are you here because you think you can save me? *laughs* If that’s the case then you’re stupider than I thought! How precious! *breaks out into even more laughter* Even after everything I put you through, you think that you can come back for me?
(Flowey stares into the darkness, waiting for a response, getting more and more annoyed by the silence)
Flowey: (growls) Tell ya what, idiot. If you want to help me so bad, then… *an awkward pause* then you should just kill me. (vexing) Yeah, I said it. Kill me! You and I both now how this'll end. (heavily breathing) I know you’ve seen it. We’ve been here countless times. (desperate shouting) Asriel is never coming back! So you’d better get that thought out of your puny little mind right now! (angrily shouting) I am not coming back! (quiet and defeated) …I don’t want to come back. The game… is over…
PLEASE BE SURE TO READ EVERYTHING BEFORE SENDING IN YOUR LINE AUDITIONS
**NOTE** This character may not appear in the series until much later, so you may not have any lines for a long time, aside from comic dubs and other possible voicing projects
Short Bio:
Asriel is the sweet and docile child of Asgore and Toriel, and a monster sibling to the human child Chara. Not much is known about Asriel before his time as Flowey, but from what we gather through brief interactions, his true nature is a lover, not a fighter. Asriel is filled with immense compassion and empathy for both humans and monsters, and he has a deep love for Chara. Their death has severely affected both him and his parents, but it was Chara's death that helped Asriel find the courage to cross the barrier with their souls together. However, during his time as Flowey, Asriel ended up taking the souls of all monsters in the underground, in addition to the six human souls, turning into a terrifying God of Hyperdeath. In the end, thanks to Frisk’s kindness, Asriel eventually succeeded in freeing the underground. Unfortunately, while the other monsters have gone free to live their lives on the surface, Asriel was unwillingly left behind to once again turn back into the flower and (seemingly) live the rest of their days in solitude with no one to love or to be loved. Much of his role in the Undertale series LOVE is still a mystery, but he will be an important character for the animated series, as he was in the game.
What We Are Looking For:
First and foremost, please do the best that you can with your Asriel voice. Do not stress yourself out into doing something that isn't comfortable in your vocal range.
We are currently considering two possible voices for Asriel, but that is still up in the air for right now. Asriel definitely needs to have a voice in the pre-teen range, but we may also be looking for an older voice in the late teen range. So for this casting call, there will be 2 sets of dialogue you can choose from for these particular voices we are looking for. This is a very interesting character for you to play around with. For this pre-teen voice, we are looking for him to be calm and not very assertive in his tone, along with a very melancholic attitude towards many things. His voice should be that of someone who is supportive of their friends yet is someone who is also suffering internally. When recording, certain lines need to be read as if his sufferings have reaching a breaking point and he can’t keep his feelings inside any longer. For the late-teens voice, we are looking for someone more forward and confident, while still a bit cocky. Kind of giving off an “edgy teen” sort of vibe (so to speak). We don't have much to go off of this character, so this really depends on your delivery and whether or not your voice seems to fit this character.
Also please keep in mind that with either voice, this is a character whose compassion and joy have been nearly non-existent for quite some time. Being able to finally express that near the end of the game seems like something that’s both refreshing and overwhelming for this character. And maybe even a little bit unstable. Something to think about before auditioning.
To help you better judge the lines for the character, here are a list of some positive and negative traits that Asriel will have in our series. It's pretty self-explanatory, but I think having a list still proves helpful for our current voice actors.
**Please note that we do not have character traits for Asriel as a teen. Just as a pre-teen. So you’ll have to be a bit more creative on your end if you’re going for that route. Our apologies.

-Kind
-Patient

About the Lines
All lines are dialogue pieces from the game. Upper dialogue is pre-teen Asriel. Lower dialogue is teen Asriel. Due to the length of these lines, it really isn’t required that you read them multiple times. You are free to do pre-teen Asriel, late-teen Asriel, or any combination of both. Please do lines 1-3 when submitting.
Line 1: The pre-teen lines are taken from Asriel's conversation with Frisk after their battle. The late-teen lines are from Asriel's final form. With these pieces of dialogue, there are no real directions. Just give us your best shot without having been given any direction. Keep in mind the expectations/requirements listed above!
Line 2: The pre-teen lines are from when Asriel receives forgiveness from Frisk. The late-teen lines are from when Asriel first turned into the God of Hyperdeath. These pieces of dialogue can be found once again in the game. Only difference this time is that the producer/director has put a little more direction for you. If chosen, you’ll be reading your lines from script that will mostly look like this. You must follow the instructions given to you. So have fun with this one! Again, do your best, and keep in mind the expectation requirements as listed above!
Line 3: The pre-teen lines are from when Asriel tells Frisk to go back to their friends. The late-teen lines are from when Asriel (in his final form) confesses about his loneliness and his desire to see Chara again. These pieces of dialogue are once again from the game, but it has been slightly re-imagined in order to fit a script format. This is so you can have an idea of what to expect when voicing for us. Due to the Casting Call Club suddenly changing their formats, we have had to adjust the layout of this particular line set. Please check the other main characters on this casting call to see what our format will actually look like. Asriel's name is boldened for each line in this particular script. There will also be cues much like from the previous lines that must be followed. However, please pay attention to the actions and descriptions listed in the parentheses as well. They may contain important actions from the characters that cannot simply be expressed in the dialogue lines themselves, so be careful not to miss that. Again, do your best and keep in mind the expectations/requirements as listed above!
PRE-TEEN ASRIEL
Frisk… this whole time, I’ve blamed myself for that decision. That’s why I adopted that horrible view of the world. “Kill or be killed.” But now… after meeting you… Frisk, I don’t regret that decision anymore. I did the right thing. If I killed those humans… we would have had to wage war against all of humanity. And in the end, everyone went free, right? I still feel kind of sad knowing how long it took…so maybe it wasn’t a perfect decision. But you can’t regret hard choices your whole life, right? Well, not that I have much of a life left. But that’s besides the point.
Frisk, thank you for listening to me. You should really go be with your friends now, okay? Oh and please, in the future, if you uhh, see me… don’t think of it as me, okay? I just want you to remember me like this. Someone that was your friend for a little while. Oh, and Frisk… be careful in the outside world, okay? Despite what everyone thinks, it’s not as nice as it is here. There are a lot of Floweys out there. And not everything can be resolved by just being nice. Frisk… don’t kill, and don’t be killed, alright? That’s the best you can strive for.
LATE TEEN ASRIEL
Behold my TRUE power! I can feel it… Every time you die, your grip on this world slips away. Every time you die, your friends forget you a little more. Your life will end here, in a world where no one remembers you…
Still… you’re hanging on…? That’s fine. In a few moments, you’ll forget everything, too. That attitude will serve you well in your next life! Uraa hahaha! …what? Still? Come on! Show me what good your DETERMINATION is now!
PRE-TEEN ASRIEL
(slowly and hesitantly) I wish I could tell you how everyone feels about you, Frisk. *smiles sympathetically* Papyrus… Sans… Undyne… Alphys… *a cautious pause* Toriel. *a much longer pause, then sudden laughter* (confidently) Monsters are weird. Even though they barely know you… It feels like they all really love you. *laughs genuinely but then the laughter suddenly changes into something very sad*
*sighs deeply* Frisk… I… *a long pause* I understand if you can’t forgive me. *looks down to the floor* (bitterly) I understand if you hate me. I acted so strange and horrible. *clenches fists* I hurt you. (guilt-ridden tone) I hurt so many people. Friends, family, bystanders… (holding back tears) There’s no excuse for what I’ve done.
<3 FORGIVE DO NOT
*slowly raises up head* (in disbelief) Wh… what? *sniffs a bit* (playfully) Frisk, come on. You’re… *another sniff* you’re gonna make me cry again. *small chuckle* Besides, even if you do forgive me… (seriously) I can’t keep these souls inside of me. The least I can do is return them. But first… *a confident smile* there’s something I have to do.
LATE TEEN ASRIEL
*chuckles ominously* You know… *raises arms and shakes head* (matter-of-factly) I don’t care about destroying this world anymore. After I defeat you and gain total control over the timeline… *clenches fists* (coldly) I just want to reset everything. All your progress… everyone’s memories. (shouting) I’ll bring them all back to zero! *sly smirk* Then we can do everything ALL over again. *small chuckle turns into full laughter* And you know what the best part of all this is? *points to Frisk* You’ll DO it. And then you’ll lose to me again. (steadily growing louder) And again. And again!! (accusatory tone) Because you want a “happy ending.” (mocking) Because you “love your friends.” Because you “never give up.” *cackles* Isn’t that delicious? (coldly) Your “determination.” The power that let you get this far… It’s gonna be your downfall! (gradually grows louder) Now, ENOUGH messing around! *growls* It’s time to purge this timeline once and for all!
PRE-TEEN ASRIEL
(Slowly, Asriel floats down to the ground, his feet gently touching the floor. He looks back at Frisk, with a somewhat melancholy expression. Their eyes dart to the floor, not wanting to make eye contact with the fallen human)
Asriel: Frisk… I have to go now.
(He raises his arms and looks down on them as if searching for an answer. Sadly, he can find none)
Asriel: Without the power of everyone’s souls… *clenches fists* I can’t keep maintaining this form. In a little while, I’ll turn back into a flower. *looks up at Frisk* (voice is breaking) I’ll stop being “myself.” *breathes a bit heavier* (upset) I’ll stop being able to feel love again.
(Almost instinctively, Asriel takes a few steps back from Frisk. He then folds his arms across his chest. Slowly his head lowers, struggling to hold back tears)
Asriel: *breathes slowly* So… Frisk. (defeated) It’s best if you just forget about me, okay? Just… *he stares hard at the ground and tears are welling up in his eyes* (voice steadily breaking) Just go be with the people who love you…
(Asriel’s breath begins to hitch as he struggles to hold back his tears, but it’s clear that he’s failing. However, before he can break down, Asriel gasps when he suddenly feels two tiny arms wrapping around him. Asriel’s breath hitches more and more as he slowly raises one arm to meet Frisk’s. He then lowers his head into the crook of Frisk’s neck and sobs quietly. Frisk gives a gentle and friendly tap, not letting go until Asriel is ready to calm down)
Asriel: *laughs very weakly* (quietly and desperately) I don’t want to let go… *sniffles*
(After some time, Frisk and Asriel finally separate. Asriel’s eyes are still glued to the floor as they wipe their tears away. After they calm down for a moment, they lift up their head)
Asriel: (touched) Frisk… you’re… *shakes his head* (happily) You’re going to do a great job, okay? No matter what you do. Everyone will be there for you, okay? *closes eyes and smiles*
(Slowly, Asriel turns and faces an unknown distance and lets out a pained sigh)
Asriel: (sadly) Well… my time’s running out. *turns to Frisk* Goodbye
(Asriel waves his hand to Frisk before take a few steps away from them. Then suddenly, as if they almost forgot something, they turned back to face Frisk)
Asriel: By the way… *a short pause* (pleading) Frisk… take care of Mom and Dad for me, okay?
LATE-TEEN ASRIEL
Asriel: …Chara… *looks at Frisk* Do you know why I’m doing this…? (desperately) Why I keep fighting to keep you around…? I’m doing this… *breathes heavily* because you’re special, Chara. (sadly) You’re the only one who’s any fun to play with anymore.
(Frisk makes yet another attempt to reach for Asriel, using what little power they have left to touch their SOUL. Suddenly, Asriel fidgets and moves away)
Asriel: *breath hitches* …No… *shakes head* That’s not JUST it. I… I…
(Again, Frisk attempts to reach Asriel’s SOUL while he’s distracted. They nearly reach it before Asriel notices and launches another attack. Quickly, Frisk raises their arms in defense, only to be knocked backwards a little bit. Frisk staggers a bit as they look back out to Asriel)
Asriel: (pleading) I’m doing this because I care about you, Chara! I care about you more than anybody else!
(Slowly, Frisk walks towards Asriel, but with each step forward, Asriel takes one backwards)
Asriel: (distraught) I’m not ready to say goodbye to someone like you again… *slow, heavy panting* So please…
(Suddenly, Asriel stops dead in his tracks as a strange light begins to glow from his hands. Frisk notices but continues to move forward)
Asriel: *raises his arms* STOP doing this… (desperate shouting) AND JUST LET ME WIN!!
(He lets out a scream as a bright white light escapes from his hands, launching an attack straight towards Frisk. The small human raises their arms in defense but is caught straight on in the blast. Their feet slide down into the ground as Frisk wavers their stance. Slowly but surely, they find the determination and strength to take small yet sturdy steps forward towards Asriel)
Asriel: *shaking his head back and forth* (stillshouting) NO!! STOP IT!! STOP IT NOW!!!
(Frisk slowly continues taking steps towards Asriel, being almost entirely consumed by the blast. The closer Frisk gets to Asriel, the weaker the blast becomes. By the time Frisk is directly in front of Asriel, the blast has completely stopped. Asriel heaves and sighs from exhaustion)
Asriel: *heavy panting* …Chara… (desperate and worried) I’m so alone Chara… (defeated) I’m so afraid…
(Frisk stretches out their arm toward Asriel)
Asriel: *breathing gets heavier and faster* Chara, I… I…
(Finally, Frisk reaches their SOUL)
This is the barrier. This is what keeps us all trapped underground. ...if...if by chance you have any unfinished business... Please do what you must. Continue... or go back.
*gasps* (happily) Tori... You came back! (cautiously)...Tori... You're right... *looks down at the ground* (defeated and holding back tears) I am a miserable creature... *slowly looks up* but, (hopeful) do you think we can at least be friends again?
Asgore: Tori, this is not an easy decision for me to make. I-I... (a defeated tone) I miss them too... and there is no way for them to ever come back to us
Toriel: (crying and shouting) So then why would you do this?! We... we finally had... peace
Asgore: I understand, Toriel, but we have to look at this realistically. I have thought this through to the very end. With seven human souls absorbed, our people will finally be free and—
Toriel: NO, Asgore! We will not be free. (quietly) We were never free there. And you're too much of coward to admit it. (very accusatory) You don't really have it in you to murder a child, do you?
Asgore: (upset) That's not fair, Tori—
Toriel: (like a queen) Silence!
(There is a very awkward silence between the two of them as Toriel looks at Asgore like she's never looked at him before. Her eyes are filled with pure and utter disappointment)
Toriel: (suspiciously) The only real way for you to do this is to take the soul of one human, pass through the barrier to the surface yourself—
Asgore: No...
Toriel: —and take six other human souls. Then return here to break the barrier and free us all
Asgore: There is another way, my dear
Toriel: (sternly and annoyed) What other way could there possible be, Dreemurr? You're opening the barrier forwar, not peace, remember?
Asgore: Tori, dear, that hurts...
Toriel: Not as much as having you refer to me with my nickname
Asgore: (impatiently) ...Toriel... if you would just... (slightly angry) LISTEN for one second, you would understand where I'm coming from
Toriel: *sighs* Fine. I'm listening
Asgore: I will not go out there with one human soul to face the humans alone. Where would the kingdom be if I too turned to dust? The best way to do this is to wait
Toriel: ...
Asgore: Wait for seven more humans to fall down here, just like Chara
Toriel: (in disbelief) What...?
Asgore: (slightly excited to speak) Take their souls, and then pass through the barrier. That way, I will have absorbed enough souls to become strong enough to fight against the humans. *grabs Toriel's shoulders* This plan cannot fail! Tori... *looks her dead in the eyes* (seriously) We can win the war this time!
(Asgore looks fiercely and desperately into Toriel's eyes, searching for some kind of approval. But as the silence continues to pass, so too does the eerie realization that their parent hearts aren't the only thing that's broken)
Toriel: *pushes Asgore's hands off of her* (trying not to cry) You really are a coward...
Asgore: (in disbelief) What are you saying?
Toriel: (voice breaking) You would rather sit down here... waiting for centuries for your perfect seven before freeing your own kind. You rushed us into war... only to let us sit and fester here in anger
Asgore: (saddened) No, Tori, that isn't what I—
Toriel: (shouting) Our monsters are not humans, Asgore! We are much better than that!
(With enough distance between the two of them, Toriel raises her arms defensively as they catch aflame. She throws a fireball at her husband, who quickly and easily dodges it. Instead, the fireball lands on one of their two throne chairs and it violently catches fire. Asgore stares at Toriel in disbelief as her tear-stained eyes glow fiercely against the light of the fire. His patience is wearing thin, as he pulls out his trident to defend himself )
Asgore: (angrily) Well what would you have me do then? (gradually getting louder) Keep our people sitting down here, blindly suffering while we continue to lose everything that we have ever loved?! Your son was my son too! And we lost him up there to disgusting, coldblooded, merciless BEASTS!
Toriel: (shouting) How dare you put LOVE into our hearts, Dreemurr!
(He slams his trident down in the ground. A crack forms and surrounds them both. Fire soars upward, only to calm down after a few seconds)
Asgore: (shouting back) I will do what is right for my citizens. And you can either follow your king, or leave the New Home that we worked so hard building together!
Burgerpants is the anxious young teenager that is stuck working for Mettaton. While it’s obvious he isn’t a huge fan of his boss, he is often forced to say nice things about him to the customers, for fear of being fired and having a lack of income. Even on the surface, Burgerpants continues to work for Mettaton, mainly due to a bleak outlook on his dim future. Thankfully, he has become good friends with Bratty, Catty, and the Nice Cream Guy, and they’re steadily doing their best to uplift Burgerpants and encouraging him to follow his dreams. In return, Burgerpants goes out of his way to be good friends with them and stay on their good side. Secretly, he hopes to at least go on a date with one of the cool girls, but that doesn’t seem like it’ll happen anytime soon.
Burgerpant's role in the series is very minor until further notice, but he may be given a bigger spotlight as we continue working on the series
What We Are Looking For:
First and foremost,please do the best that you can with your Burgerpants voice. Do not stress yourself out into doing something that isn't comfortable in your vocal range. We are open to any kind of voice for Burgerpants so long as it somewhat resembles that of a teenager.
One thing to keep in mind is that Burgerpants is a very odd, anxious and sporadic teen, both in the game, and in our series. So it may be best for you to read your lines in a way that’s both panicky and a bit unstable at times.
About the Lines
All lines are taken from the game, but the format will remain the same like the others
Line 1: This excerpt from the game contains no real directions. Just give us your best shot without having been told to do anything. Keep in mind the expectations/requirements listed above
Line 2: Here is another piece of dialogue from the game. The only difference between this and the first line is that the producer/director has put a little more direction for you If chosen, you'll be reading your lines from a script that will mostly look like this. You must follow the instructions given to you. So, have fun with this one! Again, do your best, and keep in mind the expectations/requirements as listed above!
Line 3: This is the final game excerpt, but it is modified in a way that looks most like the scripts we make for the series project. Due to the Casting Call Club suddenly changing their formats, we have had to adjust the layout of this particular line set. Please check some of the main characters' lines on this casting call to see what our format will actually look like. All of Burgerpants lines are underlined in the script. However, please pay attention to the actions and descriptions listed in parentheses as well. They may contain important actions from the characters that cannot simply be expressed in the dialogue lines themselves, so be careful not to miss that. Again, do your best and keep in mind the expectations/requirements as listed above!
God, have you even looked around? This place is a labyrinth of bad choices. And every time we try to change something for the better, he vetoes it and says "that's not how they do it on the surface." OH! RIGHT!! Humans are always eating hamburgers made of SEQUINS AND GLUE!
Why do people find him so attractive?? He's literally just a freaking rectangle... ... ... You know, one time, I bought one of those, uh, kits online... to... uh... make yourself more rectangular... ... ... They don't work. Let's not talk about this...
*smug chuckle* (coolly) Listen. I like you, little buddy. So I'm gonna save you a lot of trouble. (screaming) NEVER INTERACT WITH ATTRACTIVE PEOPLE! (suddenly cool) Unless you're "one of them," they're just gonna take advantage of you. *eyes twitch* (struggling to hide seething anger) Like that time those two chicks asked me to sneak them some glamburgers. (suddenly cool) And I, naïve teenager that I was, said yes to them. *shudders* (to himself) Bad idea.
(smugly) So I went out to the alley to see those two ladies, and uh... you know... *quietly chuckles* (slyly) See what'd happen next. *suddenly shudders with shaky hands* (whimpering) T-then my boss, uh, saw me and asked what I was doing. (extremely panicky) I was so startled, the hamburgers in my pockets tumbled out onto the ground. (struggling not to scream) Not wanting to lose face, I scrambled to pick them up! But, as I was leaning over, the weight of the remaining hamburgers... *breathing heavy as if to calm down* caused my pants to fall down. (a defeated tone) Then the girls laughed at me. (spaced out) Everyone calls me Burgerpants now...(Frisk tells Burgerpants about Bratty and Catty wanting to hang out with him)
Burgerpants: *a relieved exhale* You’re kidding. They wanna hang out after work? *laughs triumphantly* (overly aggressive) YES!!!
(Burgerpants continues to laugh and dance behind his station like a child)
Burgerpants: (energetic) I won’t let you down!! *places a hand on Frisk’s shoulders* (genuinely) Little buddy… thank you. *sniffles* (trying not to cry) You’ve… you’ve brought a tear to the eye of this old man!
(He slowly regains his composure and wipes away the single tear before calming down)
Burgerpants: So, uh, where do they want to go?
(Frisk tells him where exactly they want to meet him)
Burgerpants: *raises a confused brow* (in disbelief) …they uhhh…. They want to hang out at the garbage dump?
(Burgerpants’ eyes dash away from Frisk, staring at the ground in apathy. Suddenly, his head perks right back up and he displays an extremely creepy)
Burgerpants: *with tears in his eyes* (screaming horrifyingly) WELP! NOWHERE TO GO BUT UP, RIGHT LITTLE BUDDY?!
(He goes back to laughing maniacally. Slowly, the laughing turns into crying as he places yet another hand on Frisk’s shoulder)
Burgerpants: (whimpering through tears) T-thank you, little buddy. Just… thank you
Grillby is a successful proprietor and fire monster living on the surface with the other characters in Undertale. He lives in a small house with his daughter Fuku Fire, and continues working on the "monster side" of town. He has reopened his restaurant business and called it "Grillby's 2," where the same customers gather together to eat, play, drink, and mingle with each other just as they did in the underground. Grillby makes a decent living from his restaurant, but is hoping to expand into the human side of town sometime in the future.
Grillby's role in the series is very minor, but he might appear more frequently in various episodes.
What We Are Looking For:
First and foremost, please do the best that you can with your Grillby voice. Do not stress yourself out into doing something that isn't comfortable in your vocal range. We are a bit particular about the voice we want for this character. He needs to have a Latin American (or Spanish) accent. It doesn't necessarily have to be "thick," but it should be apparent that it's there. Don't try to force it too much. Otherwise, it won't have a natural sound (and that's kind of what we're looking for).
**NOTE** Grillby is a character that doesn't have much to say, and only appears comfortable with Sans. We have this idea that he's an introvert character, and while he's very generous and kindhearted, he doesn't really like to speak with lots of other people around. So that's something to keep in mind when voicing him, too.
About the Lines
There will only be two lines of dialogue for Grillby, so please take your time and do your best.
Line 1: This line is a hypothetical conversation between Frisk and Grillby during a pre-battle encounter. There is a little bit of direction for you to follow throughout this dialogue. If chosen as Grillby, you';; be reading your lines from a script that will mostly look like this. You must follow the instructions given to you. So have fun with this one! Again, do your best and keep in mind the expectations/requirements as listed above!
Line 2: This line is taken from a possible short story excerpt (that may or may not appear in the series) showcasing Sans and Grillby alone at the restaurant having a small conversation. I've shortened it to a much smaller dialogue piece, as I really want you to give it your all with this character. The dialogue is shaped in a way that looks most like the scripts we make for the series project. However, due to the Casting Call Club suddenly changing their formats, we have had to adjust the layout of this particular line set. Please check some of the earlier main characters' lines on this casting call to see what our format will actually look like. All of Grillby's lines are underlined in the script. But please pay attention to the actions and descriptions listed in parentheses as well. They may contain important actions from the characters that cannot simply be expressed in the dialogue lines themselves, so be careful not to miss that. Again, do your best and keep in mind the expectations/requirements as listed above!
(surprised) Ah, you must be the human Sans told me about. *scratches cheek* (nervously) Sorry for the lack of monsters today. *a casual shrug* Seems that all of my customers just… *looks at Frisk's hands* “disappeared.” *nervously straightens his bowtie* (slowly and cautiously). And I’ve got this strange feeling… (somber) seeing all that dust on your hands, I wonder…
*claps hands together* But I guess you’re not here for small talk then, are you? (friendly) Come, have a seat. I can whip you up some… *looks at Frisk with a tilted head* (confused) no? You’d rather stand, I see. (trying to lighten the mood) Well, where did you come from? Are you looking for someone? *fiddles with bowtie* If you’re looking for Sans, you’re out of luck coming here. He hasn’t stopped by all day. Last thing I remember was hearing him say… *watches Frisk as they slowly pull out their knife* (slowly and unnerved) how unfortunate it’d be if you were to... umm... *clears throat* show up in a place like this. *looks down to the ground* (a low, regretful tone) I would have liked to think he was wrong, but…
*suddenly lifts up his head* Tell me. Are all humans like that on the surface? (plainly) Walking around with a pile of dust in one hand? *looks to Frisk's side* And a knife in the other? Hmm... *an awkward pause, then a deep sigh* Don’t feel like talking, eh? That’s fine. I'm not fond of it myself either. *re-adjusts his glasses* Maybe there’s no real explanation for why you’d do something like that. (sternly) But know this. While it’s obvious that I’ll lose our fight, *clenches hands fiercely together* I won’t hesitate to give it my all. (to himself) If it means keeping my daughter safe for just a little while longer, then… so be it. *removes his glasses and sets them down on the counter* (bravely) Let’s go.
(Sans is sitting at the counter in front of Grillby, drinking a fresh bottle of ketchup. After finishing his swig, he sets the bottle down and looks at his fire friend)
Sans: *breathes deeply* your coldest one yet, Grillby. *winks* thanks for always treating the customer right
Grillby: *not looking at him* (disinterested) Sure thing, Sans…
Sans: hm? what’s got you so heated, Grillbs? *chuckles*
Grillby: *feigned chuckle* Very funny, Sans. (to himself) It’s not like I haven’t heard that one a million times over…
Sans: wow, you must really be upset. that usually lights you up. hehe. care to tell me what’s wrong, pal?
(Grillby doesn’t answer and continues wiping down a drinking glass in the same spot with a cloth over and over)
Grillby: … *sighs*
Sans: (teasing) aw come on, grillby! tell me what’s wro—
Grillby: (dryly) It’s been months and you still haven’t paid off your tab
(There is a sudden awkward silence between the two. Sans nervously looks around the empty restaurant with his familiar grin. A small trail of sweat trickles down his skull)
Sans: *weakly laughs* well, you know i’m always good for it, right?
Grillby: (mildly angry) Sans…
Sans: *raises arms nervously* alright, alright. i’ll pay up soon. *winks* i’ve just been a bit busy since the bro’s been hot with the fever
Grillby: (insincere) Mhm…
Sans: *another weak laugh* yeah… totally sick
Grillby: (plainly and a bit sarcastically) That’s funny because I could have sworn Papyrus came in here earlier today looking for you. Seemed as healthy as ever from what I could tell with all the screaming and raging about a certain brother’s dirty socks on the floor… (sternly) Again.
Sans: *even weaker laughter* well… you know paps… he uhh… he never really liked to let his illnesses show
Grillby: Sans, that’s the same excuse you tried to use on me last week
Sans: oh
Grillby: (scolding) You need to pay your tab. Otherwise, I can’t cover for you anymore. *chuckles* (teasing) And I doubt you want Papyrus finding out that not only did his (mimicking Papyrus) "lazy joke-telling brother" forget to pick up his filthy socks this morning, but he has to cover for him, yet again, on his tab at Grillby's
Give me as many grunts, gasps, screams, painful cries, laughter, confused noises, and any other background noises you can muster. This can be done as any kind of voice that you think works for this line. I'm not strict about it. Just make sure that they are distinct and really emotionally-driven
Please choose 3 from the following to voice (see character description for more info):Snowdrake, So Sorry, Royal Guard #1, Royal Guard #2, Woshua

This is for female voice actors who wish to audition as minor characters for the project. We do not have many minor characters set in stone yet, but there may be a list of canon minor Undertale characters that will make small appearances throughout the episode. We do not have voice actors for them and we are looking for people to voice several characters, so we have variety of characters to work with for our animation project. The work for these characters will be substantially less than the work for the main characters, but the quality I'm looking for is still the same.
