Surge the Tenrec

​🎙️ CASTING CALL: Surge the Tenrec (StarFallStudioZ) ​Project: StarFallDubZ & StarFallCinema Series Role: Surge the Tenrec Pay: Deferred Payment / YouTube Revenue Share + Handle Promotion + Discretionary Bonuses ​🚨 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 her chaotic rage, aggressive snark, deep trauma, and unhinged energy 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, though Surge brings a darker, rival-style tension. ​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: Surge the Tenrec ​Personality: The Unstable Lightning Bolt & Mind-Wiped Weapon. Built by Starline to replace Sonic, Surge is a high-voltage, punk-rock powerhouse fueled by reckless aggression, spite, and a desperate desire for identity. She masks her existential terror and false memories behind sharp insults, wild manic laughs, and destructive outbursts. She hates being told what to do, hates being compared to anyone else, and wants nothing more than to burn down the systems that made her a tool. ​Vocal Direction: Mid-to-high range, raspy, sharp, aggressive, and high-octane. Think punk-rock villain meets reckless punk teenager. Must be able to switch between cocky, condescending snark, manic screaming battle cries, and moments of raw, desperate breakdown when her programming or lost past glitches out. ​Note from the Director: Surge needs an actor with zero fear of screaming into the mic or going completely unhinged. She’s electric in every sense of the word. Also, keep in mind—our cast will have moments where we sing or do musical tracks, so having a punchy, energetic vocal presence is a massive plus!
