Dawnsbury Days is a 2D turn-based tactics game with CRPG elements that's based on the rules of PF2E, the second edition of a powerful tabletop OGL ruleset. It is the follow-up video game to Quest for the Golden Candelabra, which I released in May 2023. Quest for the Golden Candelabra is a free, 40-minute video game that currently has a 99% rating on Steam out of 200 reviews, largely driven by the fact that it's the first published video game built on top of this ruleset. Dawnsbury Days builds on top of Quest for the Golden Candelabra, adding an additional 15 levels, character customization, modding support and a lot more content. You can learn on my website or on the game's Discord server.
About this casting call: The game consists of 20 encounters (levels) arranged in a story-driven campaign, where each encounter begins and ends with a voice acted cutscene in the style of visual novels. Here I'm looking for voice actors to play characters in these cutscenes. There are four main characters with a large number of lines. Of these, Anna and Tok'dar are already cast, but I'm looking for actors for Scarlet and Saffi. Then there is a large number of supporting characters, some with fewer lines and some with more lines.
Budget: All roles pay $1 per line, often rounded up.
Timeline: I hope for all voice recording to be completed by early December 2023.
Atmosphere: Dawnsbury Days is a light-hearted good-versus-evil adventure where a group of young heroes prove their skill in their first adventures. The game attempts to emulate the feel of a tabletop roleplaying game, where characters use slightly exaggerated voices as the gamemaster must use a different voice tint for each character. In any case, most characters speak confidently, perhaps even theatrically, and in a strong voice.
What to expect: I may ask you for a call-back still before the deadline, and I would prefer to communicate via Discord though I'm open to other channels as well. After you're cast, I would send you the full script of the game with your lines highlighted, and I would like you to read each line three lines, with reading and emotions appropriate to the scene or special directions in the script. If you have a major role (especially Scarlet, Saffi and Morning Dewdrop), you would send your lines by parts so I can correct any issues before you record everything. Finally, I'll be happy to communicate and/or negotiate so please don't be afraid of asking any questions at any time.
EDIT (November 3rd): The deadline has now passed. Thank you all for auditioning, I will now go through the auditions. Please do not submit any more auditions after the deadline, I will dismiss them without listening to them.
