VA Auditions

As promised, we hit 11k and so several key scenes in the game will receive voice acting.

So because of that I'm going to be opening auditions to hire voice actors onto the project. At this point we can only hire VAs for Seriva and Mercilia.

Here's how it works.

My contact information is:
Taosym@gmail.com

Subject is:
VA audition

I will be paying voice actors $2/per line.
The amount of voice acting required depends entirely on the final script. So it entirely depends on what should be voiced. With the recording to happen after the final script has been finished, around halfway through development.

To audition you agree that if you are chosen and hired as a voice actor, you offer the full rights to the audio you create for Dizzy Hearts and studio Lupiesoft, and the offer to acquire audition audio at $2/per line.

All audio produced will be for PG13 only and will contain no mature or adult content, mature material or pornographic material. But will contain scenes of romantic involvement and potentially adult language.

To audition email me a lossless audio file of you voicing dialogue from the script below. You can audition for any of the characters and voice as much or as little as you want.

I'm looking for:

  • Quality of recording.
            Use of a high quality microphone free of background noise and clear audio.
  • Familiarity with the characters.
            Capturing their mood and character.
  • Natural sounding voices.
            Voices that sound natural in english and not too "pretend Japanese" dubbed.
            I endeavor to make the writing sound natural when spoken.
           So it's important to have the voice-acting sound natural as possible, while also matching the characters.

You can audition as many times as you want.

Part one of auditions will begin March 22nd, and end April 3rd. On April 3rd I will be emailing VAs that have passed part one, for part two of the audition, which involves sending you private information on the characters not available to the public. That way you're more able to get a deeper understanding of the character.

Part two will last until April 22nd and then I will select two VAs for Mercilia and Seriva, and announce them on my website with included sample audio on my website.

Good luck everyone!

  1. A couple questions: the prologue is part of Seriva's audition script, yes? And is it alright to put all the scenes on one file, or do you prefer them to be in different files?

    1. I'd prefer that you make some distinction, like a pause and such before you read a new line.

      You can voice whatever lines you want, in whatever order you want, for any character you want. :)
