🚨 TEAM RULES & REQUIREMENTS (READ BEFORE AUDITIONING)
Joining this project means becoming part of an official, professional, and dedicated team. I am very picky about who I work with, and we maintain strict standards to keep the environment safe, smooth, and fun for everyone.
Acting > Voice Impression: Your ability to capture his cocky charm, snarky humor, deep internal growth, and fierce loyalty to his friends matters infinitely more than matching a specific fan voice.
Age Limit (17+ Only / 18+ Preferred): You must be at least 17 years old to apply. 18+ is heavily preferred to ensure minor safety and a mature team dynamic across the studio.
Microphone Quality (Decent & Clear): You don't need a high-end studio setup, but your mic must be clear with no background noise, room echo, or peaking so your voice comes through properly.
VRChat Setup (Soft Requirement / Strongly Preferred): Owning a VR headset with working VRChat is strongly preferred. It won't instantly disqualify you, but VR players will have a heavy advantage due to our body-acting and cinematic filming needs.
No Drama: Keep it completely drama-free. Unnecessary drama results in immediate removal.
Family-Friendly Tone & Community Integrity:
Character Tone: This is a Sonic project. Characters are lighthearted, adventurous, and kind above all else.
Content & Language: We maintain clean entertainment. Cursing is heavily restricted—mild words like hell, damn, or bastard are fine in moderation, but heavy profanity (f-bombs, etc.) is strictly prohibited.
Inclusive Environment: Zero tolerance for slurs, hate speech, or discrimination. We accept and welcome all races, genders, and sexualities.
Scripted & Body-Acting Teamwork: Our long-form non-gaming content is heavily scripted. Voice actors and VRChat body actors work directly in tandem, so high coordination and script discipline are required.
No Preachiness & Open to Loose Ships: Leave personal agendas at the door, and keep an open mind regarding character dynamics.
💎 Character Breakdown: Shard the Metal Sonic
Personality: The Reborn Hero & Snarky Maverick. Originally built as the original Metal Sonic (Mecha Sonic), Shard broke past his programming, chose his own path, and earned his soul. He is witty, sarcastic, confident, and loves to crack jokes in the heat of battle. Beneath his cool guy persona lies a deeply reflective heart—he knows what it’s like to be a weapon of destruction, which makes his dedication to doing the right thing and protecting his friends absolute.
Vocal Direction: Mid-range, smooth, cocky, and energetic with a subtle metallic edge (or clean delivery ready for light audio processing). Needs strong comedic timing, snarky charm, and the ability to drop into serious emotional sincerity when discussing his past or defending his team.
Note from the Director: Shard is one of the coolest redemption arcs in the roster. We need an actor who can bring big, charismatic hero energy, banter effortlessly with the rest of the team, and carry the weight of a guy who proved he's more than just a machine. Also, keep in mind—our cast will have moments where we sing or do musical tracks, so having a good sense of rhythm or vocal confidence is a huge bonus!
