PrinceXss is an in-development card game series. There will be a physical version, for which certain voiced lines will be used in the demonstration/tutorial/promotional videos. Afterward, there will be a video game version with several voiced lines per character.
The characters within this casting call do not make up the entirety of the game's cast. There will be additional CCs in the future as the game progresses through development.
About the game:
PrinceXss is a character-based card game developed with the idea of "a game anyone can understand and play" in mind. Offering multiple rulesets, players may tailor individual matches to their schedule and complexity preferences.
Voice contents:
The voiced lines are of differing lengths and generally fall into one of two categories: "gameplay sections" and "story sections". Gameplay lines are generally short and relate to combat, while story sections contain proper dialogue between the character and the player.
Either section may contain the following: strong or mildly vulgar language (ie, swear words), mildly suggestive/sexual language, direct or indirect references to LGBT+ identities or preferences, direct or indirect references to physical violence and/or alcohol, and romantic/embarrassing language.
Please do not submit an audition if you are uncomfortable with a single of those themes. Thank you.
About recording lines:
- We cannot accept audio files with audible buzzes, "fuzz", background noise, etc.
- Although you're free to clean up your audio files before submitting them if you so wish, please do not modify the pitch or add any special effects.
- If hired, your final recordings should be in .wav or a similar lossless format, with no more than three takes per line. Lines may be recorded altogether within a single file or split by section or individual line.
- We reserve the right to request up to 2 retakes per line.
Terms and payment:
- The selected voice actors will be required to sign a standard talent release form for the project and thus must be 18 years of age or older.
- We may hire certain voice actors to voice multiple characters. Don't be afraid to audition for multiple characters.
- The minimum payment per character is $50, which accounts for 50 or fewer lines. An additional $5 will be added for increments of 5 or fewer lines. Ie, a character with 61 lines would be compensated $65.
- Payment will be sent via PayPal and in USD upon completion of recording a character's lines.
The king of a semi-tropical country with a highly diverse population, where personal merit and freedom are prized above all else. Aurel himself indulges in whatever pleasures and pursuits pique his interest, which often makes him come off as selfish and conceited. Even so, he is a fair king when it comes to fulfilling his duties.
Aurel should have a medium to low-pitched voice, and there should be a sense of regency/nobility to it. We also think a bit of "overacting" would help show his sense of self-importance.
"As you are already aware, I am Aurel Benito, ruler of the most prosperous nation in the universe. You may prostrate yourself whenever you wish."
"Ah, Tactician. What brings you before my glorious presence? It had better be important; can you not see that I am preoccupied?"
"I have high expectations for you, Tactician. If a single arrow is to pierce my flesh, well... Let us hope you need not find out what punishment lie in wait."
Bunbun enjoys being cute, particularly because it drives his younger sister up the wall. In general, he has a cheerful personality and enjoys being praised. He also likes to tease people.
He should have a medium to high-pitched voice on a semi-masculine register. Because he's in his 20s, we don't want him to sound overly young, however. He should also have a very slight country lilt.

“Nice to meet ya! You can just call me Bunbun. I heard from Sis that you’re the tactician ‘round here?”
“She told me lots of good things ‘bout you. Make sure you live up to my expectations, ‘kay~?”
“Bunbun’s hopping into action~!”
A chuunibyou-type character who insists on being referred to as "Darkness Dia Dragonmight," which, of course, is not his real name. He enjoys coming up with "cool attack names" in his spare time and insists on dressing both himself and his steed, Gungnir, in decorative armor.
He puts on a brave, confident act in front of others, but it often comes off as more conceited than anything. Deep down, he's actually something of a coward, but he's "faking it 'til he makes it".
Our one request for Darkness' voice is that it's "anime-ish" and a little overdramatic.
"Ah. You must be the tactician I've heard so much about. Fret not--so long as you are in the grand presence of Darkness Dia Dragonmight, an unfortunate fate you shan't befall."
"My noble steed? His name is Gungnir. A name brimming with boundless power, would you not agree?"
"Fall behind me, Tactician. By the name of Excalibur, blade blessed by beings most holy, I will protect you!"
A woman from a distant tribe who, due to a set of strange circumstances, somehow ended up being appointed the ruling noble of a small plot of land. She has no real clue what she's doing, but she tries her best anyway.
She's doing her best to learn the local cultures, but it's rather difficult, considering they're in the middle of a war. Even so, she's diligent, hardworking, and fairly ambitious.
We welcome any voice pitch for Leviathan, but we would like to specifically request that she does not have a North American accent.

"Ah. Greetings. My name is Leviathan. I am pleased to make your acquaintance."
"My homeland lies far to the east, quite a distance beyond the mountains. I would be most happy to show you the way the next time I return home."
"Worry not, Tactician. I shall stand at your guard."
Missie is Bunbun's younger sister by a year. She's insecure about her appearance relative to her brother's, but she's developed her own sense of fashion and enjoys showing off her physical form, which she's put so much effort into honing.
She's confident about her strength and talented at a myriad of things, such as sewing. She can come off as a little rough around the edges, but she makes a conscious effort to be kind to those around her.
Similar to her brother, Missie should have a slight country lilt to her voice. Otherwise, we welcome auditions of all pitches.

"Hey, Tactician. The name's Missie, and I'll be showin' you 'round the camp."
"My brother? Of course I like 'im. We're family. It's just... well, h-he's cuter than me, y'know? It's a lil embarrassing..."
"Stand back, Tactician! I'll keep ya safe!"
Reala is a songstress with a large following, and she always makes sure to give each of her fans equal treatment while she's on the stage. She's kind-hearted and something of a romantic.
She also has a pet lion named Curly, who she rides into battle.
We don't have a particular pitch in mind for Reala, although we would like to specify that she should sound dignified and "princely".

"Good evening, my princess. You look as stunning as always."
"Aww, Curly, you're so adorable. Who's a good giant kitty?"
"Stand back, milady. I won't allow anyone to harm you in the slightest."
