Valerie's rest audio series (Ongoing, Episode 3 & 4)

Valerie's rest audio series (Ongoing, Episode 3 & 4)

Project Overview

Project Description:
This project is an effort to turn some games of a tabletop RPG called "Golden sky stories" into a series of audio stories, this is a direct acted version of the events that have taken place in the games and thus includes no out of character banter. Currently we have run a game every fortnight so hopefully, we can find some reasonably quick and talented voice actors to create episodes of an audio story fairly regularly.

Here is a link to something I've previously done in this format, it should be very similar in the end.
We may also make a downloadable audio file

Previous appearance of Valerie's rest:
This is also the continuation of a short kinetic novel simply titled "Valerie's rest" which is the true first game I ran, but everything will still make sense from where we begin with the audio story as a second alternate opening has been introduced following different protagonists.

A forum post about the original kinetic novel can be found here, there are also links to download it for free
Windows/PC, Macintosh, and on the google play store

Explanation of the setting:
Golden sky stories takes place in a small, safe, peaceful town in the Japanese countryside (in my specific games it may be more of a blend of Japanese and western culture, wildlife, etc) it is set a few decades ago back before smartphones and any sort of mobile is considered quite new and noteworthy. There is technology around like photocopiers and television but it is not quite as advanced as it is now. People would still write letters, and people may spend their weekends having a picnic once in a while and people generally know each other pretty well

Story description:
The story follows a group of "Henge", supernatural animals capable of taking human form for brief periods of time, they also have a small range of other little powers. These Henge go on little adventures about town helping others, making friends, and usually heading home happy at the end of the day.

Episode Summaries/character appearances:
This casting call used to have a list of episode summaries here and each individual role had listings about what episodes they appeared in, to un-complicate the process I have changed things to involve a link to a single external google doc which I can update more easily
This google doc contains summaries about all the episodes planned so far (new ones are continuously being added) as well as which characters appear in each one (So it can be a good way to discover how big and frequent any given role is)

Latest Updates

  • Update on casting for episode 3

    _____Most recent update______ Given a good selection of talented applications for many of the roles we have fully casted for episode 2 and chosen actors for a lot of the parts in episode 3. I chose not to cast Sister Mirabelle at this point in time because while the role isn't huge in episode 3 she does make more apperances later in the series and some of those are a bit more significant, given her changing level of importance as the series continues I decided to leave this role uncast for now so as to give other people who may have overlooked it as an insignificant part (and other people only just now finding the project) the chance to apply for this role. Also due to certain life circumstances for one of the actors involved in episode 3 we'll need to make some arrangements in the script and change which characters show up in a certain scene. As such Marina now makes an appearance in episode 3, and a new minor role "Marina's Grandmother" has been added To help keep organized with this casting call I've changed things up so that there's now a link to a google doc full of episode summaries and which characters appear in each episode in the description instead of individually listing their appearances in the description of each character
  • Episode 2 casting deadline pushed back again

    Due to holidays happening around this time, a few life issues, and an illness among the cast there's been some delays in production of the first episode, I'm aiming to only cast people for the second episode once the first is finished, and in general aim to make the casting selections at a time when there is something for you to do, so if you get cast for this project there won't be any of that "waiting around to be needed" stuff I'm somewhat resolute in making this the last time I delay anything in regards to the production of the first episode/casting for the second episode, but to give some good leeway I've made it two weeks this time, I hope to have the first episode finished by then, to cast for the second episode and hopefully to have another script ready for use Do also note that the scripts are produced one at a time so for characters appearing in episode 8 or later it could actually take quite a while for the roles you've applied for to be put into use, I've loved hearing your applications but it might take a while before you get to play these characters so please keep that in mind Given the low number of applicants for the roles and how soon they'll be needed i've decided to move Cano Sakuragi and Rachel to the top of the list, this is no commentary on the quality of any auditions I've received thus far, it is simply that these roles will be closing soon and I wish to highlight this opportunity for anyone who appears in these last two weeks Thank you for your interest in the Valerie's rest Audio series, I hope to have the first episode ready soon :)
  • Pushing back casting deadline for episode 2 by 1 week

    Due to some delays getting the first episode finished and some personal business in my own life taking up a lot of my time I've decided to move the deadline for episode 2 casting by 1 week. If there are any further questions about it I can answer those
  • Episode 1 has been cast, casting for episodes 2, 6, and 8

    Thank you everyone for all your very good auditions, we now have everyone we need to make up the cast of the first episode in this series and will be getting to work soon. While the voice actors have been cast it will take me a little more time to make decisions about the non-voice actor applications I am nearly finished the finalized script for episode 2 and will be uploading it soon, this should give people a better idea what they're auditioning for. Episode 2 will require the roles of Minami, Cano, Yume, and Rachel to be filled. I have also noticed that as of casting all the actors for episode 1, we have almost all the characters necessary if we want to record out of chronological order and record episodes 6 and 8, we would only need to fill the roles of Isamu and Yume to do so, and as such I have moved these 2 roles to the top of the list (Isamu is also a major re-reoccurring character and could do with such a spotlight) I will also be posting the link to a discord thread when I upload the script for episode 2, so that anyone seeing this casting call and who is interested in seeing the end result whether or not they want to audition for any roles can keep up with how production is going and recieve messages to let them know when an episode is done Thank you for your interest in the Valerie's Rest Audio series
  • Deadline moved back 5 days

    Given that we still have no applications for Mayu O'Conner I've decided to move back the deadline another 5 days. Though I'm very happy to have listened to all the very talented auditions I've heard so far. To help with possibly directing attention to the roles that need to be cast sooner I've done some re-organizing of the roles list. Firstly I've placed Mayu at the top to give her the most attention as we can't proceed without a fitting voice for this role. Second, I've placed the non-voice actor roles near the top to make it clear that these roles exist for anyone who only looks at this casting call briefly, and third I've placed all the other voice actor roles in top to bottom in order of how soon their first appearance in the series is, hopefully this will direct more attention to the roles that need to be filled earliest.

While all the creation of the story, events, and dialogue are finished in a raw form, there is room for someone to help in this project by reading over transcripts of play from the tabletop sessions the story is drawn from.

This mostly involves changing things from present tense to past tense, making sure information needed to be known is covered in narration or dialogue, cleaning up the order in which characters say things to fit better, and occasionally writing a small bit of new content to transition one scene to another or help open a story, and finally laying everything out with neat clear formatting for the voice actors to read from. This isn't hard work but it's a bit time consuming

I'm not entirely sure what to call this role so if you'd like to be credited for this by suggesting a different name for this role I'm open to that.

It is important that you have and are generally reachable on Discord

While I CAN do the video editing myself my computer and software for doing so are rather slow in that process, so if anyone would like to edit video for this project then that would be a big help

The work on this one should be extremely simple, you'd basically just be putting text of what the characters are saying on a background and timing it out properly

After giving it some thought I've decided to allow applications for animators if anyone out there would like to animate the events taking place in the story.

I understand it takes time to animate things, so in the event that an animator would like to join the team you won't be expected to work quite as fast as the rest of us given how much there would be to do for a single episode, I plan to release in the originally planned text on screen audio story format to allow posting of completed stories while allowing you to produce animated verisons of already completed episodes at a pace you can manage

Miho Sakuragi
open
Unpaid

Miho has only appeared in episode 5, and episode 7 so far but I plan to include her in future stories whenever I can

Miho is probably the most over the top and eccentric character in this story, she is usually loud and full of energy and can sometimes be pretty weird. She is president of the paranormal adventuring club at her school (consisting only of her). Miho pursues anything she thinks will be fun or interesting with a lot of gusto bringing whoever she can along for the ride (sometimes unwillingly). Miho is bold, confident (perhaps too confident), and also kind of geeky occasionally referencing video games, anime, comic books, and the like

If you are the type to do your own audio editing feel free to include a take trying to create a megaphone effect on your voice


  • (Boldly announcing her own arrival with a megaphone) ATTENTION OBLIGATED PLAYMATE! IT IS I MIHO SAKURAGI OF THE PARANORMAL ADVENTURING CLUB!

  • (Pleased and a little bit scheming) Heeey... you know what... we could use a redshirt to die needlessly to enhance the drama of what's happening to the main cast... you're even wearing a red shirt to boot! (A short pause like someone else said something) Yeeeesss... "playing" dead...

  • (Excited, but sounding like she's losing confidence and ends the line sounding sad and disappointed) Anyway we like totally get treasure or something now right? They always get sweet loot at the end of something like this in comics and stuff! Sweet loot? Any second? Sweet loot? No loot?

The annoyed booth attendant shows up very briefly in episode 7

These are all the lines the booth attendant has, so for this role you don't need to do any more work than to make your audition

  • (Losing your cool after someone's been annoying you for a while) Look I've dealt with enough of your antics young lady, you're lucky I'm still sending it on ahead at all after what you've put me through!

  • (Muttering) Thought this girl was supposed to be something exceptional (A calmer explanation to someone else) a magazine is writing up a little article about her and we were supposed to get a photo, (getting annoyed again) but she waltzes in fooling around the whole time, that's the best shot I got out of FIFTY!

  • (No more patience, you're done with this and are leaving) The film is expensive and it takes a long time to set the equipment back up, I'm not going through all that just to get goofed around again, now beat it!

Spencer is Haruto's Friend, he shows up in episode 9.

Spencer is a lot more stubborn and close-minded a boy than Haruto and while Valerie's rest is not based around conflict he is one of the more brusque and aggressive characters in terms of his personality

  • (Annoyed resolve) Come on man, we're gonna get detention if we don't get somewhere with him soon, we gotta make some progress with this

Mrs Gouda is a short and usually very friendly and generous woman who runs a cake shop, though in the episode she appears she really has been pushed to the limits of her patience with a certain customer who's always promising to pay later and then never doing so

  • (Firmly and Annoyed) The answer is no! Now get out, I have real customers to handle

  • (Compassionate) You don't need to do that, I'm sure it's tough with a sick father

  • (Sceptically) Uh huh...  And what exactly is the going rate for... "cool looking rocks" exactly? (As if calling the other person's bluff with a little bit of sass) "Shall I call up the bank and check?"

Tama [1st Ep]
closed
Unpaid
cast offsite

Tama has appeared in episodes 1-5, and 7, 8, 9 so far and should appear in most future episodes as a member of the main team, she is a rabbit henge

Her age is listed as child but any voice that can manage to sound youthful will be accepted as an audition

She speaks in a very calm manner most of the time, her voice timid and shy, as if she were trying to avoid attracting attention. She tends to pick her words carefully and tries to be as considerate as possible, prompting numerous umms and pauses in her speech. In additon to her shyness, Tama's very orderly and proper. She'll always try to avoid making a mess, or to at least fix it if possible. Her bookworm nature means she often explains how things work to other henge - putting her knowledge to use brings her tons of joy and makes the rabbit girl sound more excited than she usually does. Finally, despite her usual shyness, Tama becomes much more confident, even angry at times, when facing anyone who hurt her friends.

  • (Explaining) It makes it so there's a lot of wind in a small can. And when you press the button down there the wind gets out

  • (Shy but happy) I-I wanted to thank you for taking care of the rabbit pen last time you were on duty. It hasn't looked so good in w-w-weeks

  • (Worked up, concerned about others and thinking this person has done the wrong thing) Your intentions still don't change the fact that you have stolen things from others! Poor Haruto got his birthday ruined because you stole an invitation from his friend!

Her age is listed as child but any voice that can manage to sound youthful will be accepted as an audition

Ichika tends to be positive and excitable entering most situations with a bit of energy. She isn't all that smart but often comes across as humorous or endearing in spite of this. Seems to have little experience with the human world often running about checking out all the cool stuff she's never seen before.

  • (Impressed, slightly in awe of Tama) Woah, you got that already!!? You're amazing Tama!

  • (sniffling like you're wanting comfort from the kind adult you're talking to) "I solved the riddle and... and... lots of scary noise and lights happened and... and..."

  • (Bluffing/slightly nervous/trying to re-direct the topic of conversation) I-uh was just... taking a late night stroll and happened to find you. I was just curious about what you were doing.

  • (Joking) What are you, some kinda secret spy?

Emiko only appeared in episodes 1 & 2 before the person behind Emiko, unfortunately, wasn't able to join us anymore, Emiko was a fox Henge

Her age is listed as child but any voice that can manage to sound youthful will be accepted as an audition

Emiko comes across as mature and responsible though she's also led by her curiosity sometimes, she is usually polite in her manner of speaking and a generally helpful person, once in a while she can be a little blunt or direct but her heart is in the right place

  • (Taking charge) I say we split up and search....in teams would be better

  • (Gently explaining to a little girl) Miss Reiko... your mother is really worried about you

cast offsite

Lupin appears in episodes 1, 2, 3, 5, 5.5, 6, 7, 8, and 9. He should appear in most future episodes as a member of the main team, Lupin is a cat Henge

His age is listed as teen simply because I think it would suit this character a little better but he is supposed to be the same age as the rest of the main cast, so child auditions are still accepted

Lupin enjoys messing with people especially someone he finds distasteful or boring. He has an unexpected soft side that only comes out in rare situations. He helps out those he likes but will usually ignore anyone else unless there's some benefit to him, Can seem a little smug sometimes, and perhaps looks down on other people a little bit. Lupin doesn't usually say all that much usually getting through the story quietly DOING stuff which would be covered by the narrator

  • (Barely managing to get the words out through laughter) This was the greatest thing ever!

  • (Startled/alarmed) That one is definitely not me!

  • (Thinking/Musing) I don't know what's waiting for you on the other side little one but now I hope you can at least meet it with a smile

Cano doesn't back down from anything and has something of a competitive streak. She finds it a bit difficult to admit when she's wrong and apologize and sometimes has a bit of trouble communicating what she really means, she is quite a rational adult deeply skeptical of all things supernatural

  • (Mildly annoyed like you're busy) I'm doing a little work and research, I can only see the stars at night after all

Role assigned to: nicolecpenrod

[IMPORTANT!] The role of Rachel involves both singing and voice acting, to apply for this part please send auditions for both the voice actor and singer entries of this role, only people who apply to both roles will be considered for the part

In episode 2 Rachel sings a song about something that happened in the past, the song is designed to take on a very different meaning based on the emotion with which it is sung, this is just a small section of it

To explain the song in more detail the sad version is about how one small action completely ruined the relationship between her and a friend years ago

The happy version of the song is about how something that seems as small as saying "I'm sorry" can completely change things for the better

The audition from Plotline Progenitor is an example recording of the general tune pacing and mood of the sad version of the song because these lyrics were created for this project, while the example plays the whole song and you can apply with the entire thing if you want to you're technically only required to audition with the small section listed below

  • (Singing sadly and full of regret)
    It's funny how small things can make such a difference
    On the way that we walk out the rest of existence
    One moment in time an action or word
    And the world as you know it is now overturned

    It's amazing how quickly things some things they can change
    What you thought set in stone could still rearrange
    I guess all we can do is move on with acceptance
    and bear in mind always, small things make a difference

  • (Singing with great relief and happiness)
    It's funny how small things can make such a difference
    On the way that we walk out the rest of existence
    One moment in time an action or word
    And the world as you know it is now overturned

    It's amazing how quickly things some things they can change
    What you thought set in stone could still rearrange
    I guess all we can do is move on with acceptance
    and bear in mind always, small things make a difference

Minami (Ghost) [Coming Episode]
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to: kiwiTee

Minami is a little ghost girl who appeared in episode 2, she may or may not make another appearance one day but I think appearances of her will be less frequent than most characters

Minami is a sad little ghost girl who's meant to invoke a sense of pity in the audience, out of all the characters who've been in this so far she probably had the most emotional impact.

If you are the type to do your own audio editing feel free to try any special ghosty effects you want alongside a basic reading of the lines with your normal voice

  • (Sadly, sobbing) I ruined everything and I just want... I just want them to stop fightng... I can't go to heaven... not until they're friends again... (pleading) Please... help me!

  • (Sentimental) Oh Rachel... you grew up to be so pretty...

  • (Weakly but with a lot of warmth like she's disappearing from this world but needs to say this before she goes) Rena... Cano... ALL of you... You don't have to worry... I know somehow... some way... I'll see you again... because... you... will ALWAYS be... MY FRIENDS!

Yume appears in episodes 2, 3, 5, very briefly in episode 5.5, and in episodes 7 & 8

Yume is an introverted high schooler who is usually happy to spend her time reading books (particularly fantasy novels), she also writes her own little fairytale stories from time to time, she can be kind of shy sometimes and usually doesn't have a lot of patience for wilder antics but tries to see the good in other people, she's usually soft-spoken but if the situation is important enough to her she can be very determined, she seems to be pretty open minded

  • (awkwardly trying to find the polite way of telling you about someone's negative traits) I admit she sounds like a fun person and all, but she's so... "full on" you know?

  • (Stressed and worked up, kind of angry) I convinced my mom to let me order the first book of this new series by mail and I've been looking forward to it for months, it was finally supposed to come today and someone seems to have taken it right out of my mailbox!

  • (Calling out in shock and surprise as you're suddenly whisked away) Help meeeeeee! (fades out as you're quickly taken far away)

Isamu (Major role)

Unpaid
cast offsite

Isamu first appeared in the second half of episode 3, and in episodes 5, 5.5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10. He should appear in more episodes going forward, Isamu is a dog Henge

His age is listed as child but any voice that can manage to sound youthful will be accepted as an audition

Isamu is a particularly energetic and fun-loving boy, He usually gets carried away and tends not to think things through fully. He means well but he's clumsy and always quick to apologize and try to make up for the stuff he does wrong. He's extremely naive and instantly believes pretty much anything someone tells him, even if he knows something for absolute certain with proof he's a bit vulnerable to being persuaded he was wrong. He's generally fond of everyone, absolutely everyone but has one family member he values above all

  • (surprised an very confused, you believe this is true even though it makes no sense)

    Wait I'M the thief!? How did I steal things without noticing? Where did I put everything then?

  • (Cheerful) Yeah come play with us it will be lots of fun!

  • (A little sad and uncertain) Um... guys? Am I still meant to play dead? ... Guys? ... Is anyone still here?

Haruto is a fairly typical little boy who's into playing soccer and messing about with his friends



  • (Sad/upset/stressed/confused) My friend got all mad at me for not inviting him to a party that I did invite him to, but he just went on and on all ticked off like he'd never even gotten the invitation I sent him

  • (shocked and a little angry) Wait if someone's stealing people's mail isn't that like... a crime? That's so not cool!      

  • (resolved, honest, and humble) I'm willing to look like a fool for a moment if it patches things up with my friend

The reluctant policeman

The reluctant policeman appears in episode 3 and episode 4, he may or may not appear in future episodes but his role isn't very significant


The reluctant policeman transferred to Valerie's rest looking for a calm simple easy life in a town where not all that much really happens, is usually more annoyed and tired than helpful whenever somebody actually asks him to help with something, usually trying to find some way to send the person off to handle it themselves, he probably never wanted to be a policeman in the first place


  • (Explaining) There have been a couple odd practical jokes and stuff about town attributed to one "Devious Baxter", seems to like leaving a calling card of sorts

  • (Disinterested) I've never had any luck solving the stupid riddles he leaves behind but I don't mind if you take a crack at it

  • (Emotionally neutral but formal police like voice) Be that as it may it's been to short a time to file a missing person report... Besides I'm sure there's some other reasonable explanation for it, good day madam (short pause like someone else said something) (Repeating in a more firm and stern tone) Good day madam.

  • (Thinking and trying to remember) Well... now that you mention it I did recieve an odd newspaper on the top that asked me to give it to anyone who came asking about riddles

  • (A little surpsied and a bit confused) Huh? What are all you kids doing in front of my news stand? (a brief pause and he sounds a little stern) I don't sell comic books if that's what you're after

This isn't a role for a human character with dialogue like a lot of the others and the amount of recordings required will actually be rather small, pretty much just make weird curious animal noises into the microphone that sound something like "nook", the wobblenook appears once in episode 3 and while it's possible it may appear again later we can probably use the same recording for it

A strange mythical creature which pretty much consists of an eyeball on a pair of long legs overall it is about twice as big as an adult human.

Devious Baxter (Tanuki)

Devious Baxter appears in episode 3, episode 5, and episode 7, he is a tanuki

Devious Baxter is a tanuki who's a little infamous around town for the mischief he gets up to, he is known to leave calling cards behind at the scene of his pranks and it's also often known it was Baxter when his pet kookaburra "Guffaw" laughs for all to hear. While mischevious to the core he's not outright malicious and the times it seems like he is are usually due to poor planning or failing to understand something about humans. In his human form Devious Baxter resembles a rather eye-catching magician and some typical human illusionist tricks are mixed among his supernatural abilities. When devious better is about you know something is up.



  • (Puzzled/thinking) Wait... so... hang on... So he put the letter in the.... (Alarmed) Oh no I put it in the wrong mailbox!

  • (Cheerfully arguing) Ah but life would be terribly dull if not for a little excitement now and then would it not?

  • (Smug and amused) Y'all did such a great job freaking yourselves out all I had to do was swoop in at the end making you all doubt it was "just a set up" Ohhh man you should have seen your faces! (He laughs)

Demitri (known as "Dem") [See description]
closed
Unpaid
cast offsite

IMPORTANT: The rule of Demitri will be very strenuous as a LOT of his lines involve yelling, this is as a result of a strange rare medical condition this character has that makes him unable to talk unless he's yelling, please bear this in mind when applying for the part because it could hurt your throat and you must also be able to convey the correct emotions while yelling. Given how harsh this role would be on the actor I'm prepared to give a lot more time than most other actors involved in the project to record the lines gradually over time probably recording several other episodes in the time it takes for the actor to provide Demitri's lines for a single episode and I may even end up offering a small amount of money for this role given how strenuous it would be on the actor. Being aware of these issues regarding Demitri I plan to use the character as infrequently as I can manage, the first episode DID involve another character making him a little flip book of pre-written sentences though and this could potentially help solve these issues probably half the time as I'd allow his written messages to be read without shouting

Demitri appears in episode 6, while he's listed as "ageless" this character should be older than a child, and ideally somewhere in the Young adult to middle age range, but all auditions are welcome 

Demitri is a huge disheveled man with a kind and gentle heart, it's hard to see much of his face through his thick beard and the hair that droops down over his eyes. His clothes are almost always dirty and he usually doesn't smell very good, Demitri suffers a lot with lacking money and a medical condition that makes him unable to speak unless he's shouting, he also can't read or write. He's not the smartest man and this is clear in the slightly dull and dopey way he talks


  • (Shouting, but the emotional tone is very fretful and worried and sad) I'D LIKE TO, BUT I KNOW SHE'D PROBABLY JUST GET SCARED AGAIN... (Sniffles, very sad self-pitying voice as he keeps shouting) PEOPLE ARE ALWAYS SCARED OF ME

  • (Shouting, but the emotional tone is happy and moved) YEAH, THAT'D BE REAL NICE LITTLE BOY, I ALWAYS WANTED A FRIEND

  • (Not shouting, as though you're narrating a letter you'd written, his voice is a gentle, kind, warm, and a little dopey) Dear little girl, I'm terribly sorry for scaring you so much, I feel real bad about it and I swear I didn't do it on purpose. I dropped your little angel toy and I wanted to make sure you got it back

  • (Smugly victorious) And THAT'S how you outwit someone!

  • (A snooty anime girl laugh) (boastful) Thus marks another chapter in Misaki's hall of fame, I would like to thank myself for being an evil genius, and we shall never speak of that group hug again

(Some new dialogue from episode 12 has been added as a third audition line which had previously been empty, those who have already applied with only the first two lines will be considered equally with people who show up now and aren't required to re-record)

  • (Concerned and compassionate) Dear child what on earth happened?

  • (A little worried) I certainly wouldn't want to stand in the way of getting to the bottom of all this missing mail... still, if you needed to get into the belltower you could have just asked me, it's not terribly safe for children to be climbing the tower

  • (Mildly flattered/embarassed downplaying what was said) I wish what you said about me was true... (Sadly sentimental) but sometimes in a situation like this the only person who would have been able to help is the one person who can't be there anymore

  • (Happy but calm, casual, and patient) Oh, yeah... Mimi is my friend. She should be here soon

  • (A little sad) Mimi only shows up close to night time so Marina doesn't get to see Mimi very much before she has to go home
