Ahoy everyone! I am Captain Antpez, I am a Vtuber on Twitch, and this is my second casting call for the third installment of Zero Escape: Zero Time Dilemma. I have been streaming for about 5 years now and had started on the Zero Escape series in my 3rd year of streaming where I had gathered some friends to help voice the characters and adlib some lines. I had decided to step it up a notch by doing my first casting call on the second game which we had finished up about 6 months ago! When I did that, it was honestly a blast and a great experience for both streamers who had never voiced actors before and voice actors who had never streamed before. This was essentially my way of bringing two worlds that I love together. And now I’m looking to start that again with a little bit more experience under the belt!
With introductions out of the way, let’s get into what it is I’m looking for and what is to be expected.
Yes, this will technically be a fan dub of the game but will be done LIVE over on my Twitch channel, the VODs themselves will be edited and posted on Youtube. There is a catch though that separates this game from the previous two. The previous two games were full Visual Novel games. This is still a visual novel game, however, the cutscenes have all been rendered and are more like a movie. Which makes dubbing a little bit harder when it’s live therefore on to the second thing
Improvisation, due to the nature of the game, I’m going to have no control over the pacing of the game because the cutscenes are all movie-like. I will have the subtitles going to help a little bit with clarity; but the subtitles don’t say who is speaking. So, in essence, this will be a lot like Snapcube’s Real Time Fandubs.
Those who will be shortlisted will go into a second round of auditions that will involve more improv to see your skills as well your synergies with others.
This will be a bi-weekly thing hosted on discord, so you must have a discord to be able to participate. At this time, we are looking to have streams on Sunday at 2pm PST to 3:30 PM PST (1.5 hour every two weeks)
Please provide your discord handle with your audition if applying thru CCC
Knowledge of the game is not mandatory, however with how this will play out, wouldn’t hurt to have it. But this won’t DQ you if you know nothing of the series as some of the returning actors have never played the game as well.
Must be 18+, this is non-negotiable. The game itself is rated M and my streams are also 18+
Mic quality doesn’t matter, we are looking at your ability to act and improvise
When the deadline has passed, that will be it. Any auditions turned in past the deadline will not be considered.
Now to some questions you might have
Q: Do I have to attend every stream?
A: No, since this is an unpaid project, I do not expect you to be in every single stream, but I would prefer it if you could make it too as many as you can.
Q: How long will this project be for?
A: So honestly the first two games took roughly 1.5 years to complete. However, since I will have no control of the pacing for this game. I would estimate this will be a 6-8 month project. It could potentially be longer though.
Q: Do I have to be a streamer?
A: Absolutely not, that was actually what made the second game a lot more fun was the fact that half the cast weren’t streamers and the other half were. It was a lovely blend of both worlds and opened up doors on both sides.
Q: Are you looking for voice matches?
A: Nope, I want to hear your take so go wild.
Q: How 18+ is this game? Are there limits to what can be improvised?
A: I mean, not necessarily, the game itself has had some dark moments that had turned into dark humor. If anything, just don’t go overboard and make people uncomfortable.
Q: Do you offer feedback on auditions?
A: If you wish for feedback and say so in your audition, I am more than happy to provide it. Granted I’m not a professional myself, but I’m always willing to help out when asked.
Q: How long will casting choice take past the deadline?
A: Hopefully not any longer than a week or two. I will be having the returning cast help go over the auditions to make decisions. Once we have made our choices, we will reach out to those who have been shortlisted for round two.
Q: Where are (insert character here)
A: Characters like Junpei, Akane, Sigma, Phi, and Zero are all from the previous games in the series and will be reprised by their previous actors. Diana, though not a returning character, is based on Luna in Virtue’s Last Reward, so it only seemed fitting to have their actor return to play as Diana.
Q: Can I still participate even if I don’t get a role?
A: You may! As this is going to be an unpaid project, there might be some sessions that an actor will be unavailable, on those days we will have a backup fill in for that session to be able to keep pacing going. You would need to be in the discord though in order to participate as a backup.
Q: I don’t know anything about the game but am interested, could I look up more about the character?
A: Absolutely! In fact, I will include links to the characters wiki’s if you wish to look more into the character!
Q: Can I audition for more than one character?
A: Absolutely, though you will only be cast for one role if selected
Deadline for this casting call will be March 29th, 2026
