You Don’t Know Jack fangame - Salty Trivia with Candy Barre

Project Overview

https://youtu.be/0zrQRdBzUQESalty Trivia with Candy Barre is a trivia game in the style of You Don’t Know Jack. It has quirky general-knowledge and pop culture questions with immersive, fully-voiced dialogue. Try the work-in-progress game here!

For the premise and more details, please read this document.

We are looking for people to voice the 3 hosts and several people to voice the game trailer.

For all roles, you must have a microphone with good sound quality. (Phones and gaming headsets do not count, but Guitar Hero / Rock Band video game microphones are fair game.)

If you are auditioning for a host, you will have to record lots of audio with consistent sound quality, possibly over the course of months as the game gets developed and questions get written. Therefore, you will have to stay in the official Discord server over the course of up to a year. You should also be able to read IPA (or learn how to).

If you are auditioning for a trailer voice, you will only have to voice a few lines.

Please note that the character portraits are only there as concept art, and everyone will remain faceless in the final game.

Kanade Urushimakka, performing as Candy Barre, is a stand-up comedian and garage band guitarist of Japanese-American descent. She was hired to play a part in a sitcom as a snarky, smart-alec roommate of the protagonist, and now she is hosting the titular game show. (Think Cookie Masterson from You Don’t Know Jack, but as a late-millennial woman.)

She first rose to popularity after attending an open mic night with her garage band called Bursting Heads, when the van that held their instruments got caught in a traffic jam and not make it to the venue in time. She filled the time by performing a stand-up routine ranting about the troubles she goes through every day as an Asian-American woman.

Being the main host of the game, she will have by far the most voice lines to record. (We have at least 150 questions written.) You will also have to be comfortable with swearing, a little bit of singing, making raunchy jokes, dumb puns, speaking some Japanese in a scene over the phone with Candy’s mother, and pronouncing words like “Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch” and “pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis”, not to mention some foreign words like “Dåtid”.

If no applications are submitted, her voice will be provided by the developer.

For context to the last audition line, please read this document.

  • [Trailer: Candy as Aya, a deadpan snarky college student in a sit-com.]
    Candy: (sleepily) Guys, will you cut it out? It's 9:47 PM.
    roommate: Come on, Aya, it’s Friday. What, do you have class tomorrow?
    Candy: (deadpan) Do you have no class right now?

    [Trailer: Candy as herself, calling for the viewer to participate.]
    Candy: Hey you! Yeah, the schmuck in front of the monitor. (jocularly) What have you got to lose?

  • We’ll be right back after these messages. Not from our sponsors, but these thirsty guys trying to slide into my DMs. I gotta go block those real quick. See ya.

    Welcome back to Salty Trivia. Remember me? I remember the first time we met like it was only yesterday. Let’s carry on to Round 2!

  • Candy: (slams the door open, shouting) What year is it?!
    Miles: (happily) Candy! Good to see that you’re up and running again. (sternly) Now what did I tell you about caffeine-fueled all-nighters?
    Candy: That I’m young enough to take them.
    Miles: (briefly annoyed) That’s not—Nevermind, do you know how to pronounce this?
    Candy: Oh, that? It’s Llan­fair­pwll­gwyn­gyll­go­ge­ry­chwyrn­dro­bwll­llan­ty­si­li­o­go­go­goch.
    Miles: Clan-vyre-what?
    Candy: Llan-fair-pwll-gwyn-gyll-go-gery... [interrupted by Miles]
    Miles: [tries to imitate syllable per syllable, but gives up] Screw this, read this question for me.
    Candy: I mean, that’s what I’m hired to do anyway. Gimme the cue card. There. Okay. Ahem.
    In what island in Wales is Llan­fair­pwll­gwyn­gyll­go­ge­ry­chwyrn­dro­bwll­llan­ty­si­li­o­go­go­goch?
    Anglesey, Skomer, Cardigan, or St. Catherine’s?

Daisy Chaine /ˈdeɪ̯zi ˈtʃeɪ̯n/ is an audio engineer and sound designer who worked on the sit-com Frenemies with Candy and miles. She seems to be grinning all the time, as if she knows a secret about you without you knowing, which she finds amusing.

She is also the manifestation of chaotic evil energy, and occasionally likes finding opportune times to prank other staff members. As Candy puts it, “she would totally Home Alone someone as a joke”.

Daisy is a co-host of the game.

For context to the first two audition lines, see here.

  • (grinning smugly) Huh? I have no idea what you’re talking about.
    Anyway, you need someone to host this question, right? I can hop right in.

    I’m gonna list 7 names, and to mess things up a bit, for each of them, you have to answer if it’s: not a type of bird, not a of bee, or both! By which I mean neither of them.

  • (after the player types a swear word in a free-answer question) I know what to do to people like you. You see, when you signed up for the game, I actually looked you up online.
    And I found your full name on a high school publication, and found your Facebook profile from your name and general area.
    It’s funny how much you can get online, right?

  • (from outside the sound booth) Uh... Hello? Candy? You okay? (quietly, to herself) ...She fainted.

  • (fed up) Oh my God, I knew this would happen someday, but geez, on the second episode?

    And I keep telling her not to stay up all night snorting energy drinks before we have a show on. Now I have to deal with an unconscious gremlin and get her some medical care.

    (tempted by the opportunity) ...Or I could just leave her in the back room and host the rest of this game. Yeah, I think I’ll have to do that. She left her cue cards on the podium.

  • (bright tone) Ahem. Welcome to the game! I’m Miles Stone, the producer. Did you know that Candy drafts most of these questions? It makes the writing process much easier. Of course, we have to filter some of them for having too much salt.

  • (Please only read Miles’ lines.)

    Candy: (slams the door open, shouting) What year is it?!
    Miles: (happily) Candy! Good to see that you’re up and running again.

    No, I was a big fan of it back in 2007! Did they keep the tagline “Where the questions are ridiculous but the answers are serious”?
