Diamond in the Sky (Sonic fan-made)
Project Overview
I'm looking to cast Sonic fans/voice actors for an audio drama. This is story a fan fiction which takes place in the Sonic Boom universe but involves characters whom did not appear in the series, namely Rouge the Bat and Silver the Hedgehog (also the main protagonists). The story is finished and available to read on Wattpad. Upon completion, the performed version will be shared on SoundCloud and YouTube as a theatrical audio book with illustrations.
The Fan Fiction can be found here in it's entirety:
https://www.wattpad.com/story/197590729-diamond-in-the-sky
A little background info: I have done several audio projects before and will be editing this one in my small home studio. I'm looking for actors who are not afraid to be emotive. Good equipment is important and the ability to turn out material within a short amount of time is preferred. In terms of vocals matching the original actors of the Sonic Boom series, this is not as important to me as the actor's ability to emote through the character. Derivative character interpretations with emphasis on an emotional punch is what I am looking for in these auditions.
Please keep in mind that this is a volunteer-oriented project and not a paying gig.
Make sure to watch the video above before auditioning.

Sticks and Amy Rose
I'm going to open parts for Sticks and Amy Rose. They don't have many lines but I simply must pass them onto some other gals. I am way too occupied with directing, mixing, and pretty much everything in between. -
Tails the Fox
I have opened the role of Tails the Fox. It's a very small part but I am simply wearing too many hats and would rather allow someone else to play Tails. He has a bigger part in the story that follows this one which makes this best decision. Whoever lands the role will have a chance to resume the character in the next project, if they so choose.
This story is dialogue heavy, thus the narration is quite descriptive. There are several introspective elements to the text, which the narrator will have the opportunity to deliver in an empathetic way. In the spirit of a theatrical chorus, the narrator in this story is also an important character. In other words, he/she is the story's existential voice. Consider the 4th wall breaks in Sonic Boom, that's our narrator. He/she is a part of the entire journey.
Outside the village, a gaggle of Froglodytes ambushes Team Sonic… but what about inside the village?
Same old, same old. Baby Chumley is climbing about, this time into a storm gutter along the roof of City Hall.
BAM! Metal Sonic collides with Silver out of nowhere. They tumble until Silver disappears via Chaos Control.
The Previously Narrator recaps what has occurred in the previous chapters of the narrative. He is formal and thoughtful but adds some spice and color to his accounts of the story. I'm wanting a natural British accent then for the vocalist to add some flare/impersonations of the Sonic characters within his readings.
Previously in Diamond in the Sky!
Eggman and his service bots headed to the mountains to celebrate killing Silver the Hedgehog.
Meanwhile, Rouge the Bat snatched another version of the psychokinetic hero just in time to save him from a gnarly explosion.
Silver's traveled to another dimension where apparently, he has some sort of erased past. Hoping to put the pieces together, he begins a journey towards Hedgehog Village along side someone he's always wanted to meet. A young adult, Silver is optimistic but realizes life's no picnic and can already tell that whatever happened to him years ago, it wasn't good. He's a skilled fighter, using the power of his psychokinesis and Chaos Control to take down his enemies. He's also an adventurer, saved from a dystopian universe, so being in the Boom world is paradisal for him.

None of this was your fault. So promise not to spend the next two decades beating yourself up before we meet again.
Yeah, sorry, I don’t remember you, Sonic, not in the flesh.
Lemme go! I just met you! What you’re saying is delusional!
Shadow is tormented after a traumatic event involving Silver and Dr. Eggman. Though "dark and edgy" is his schtick, the Ultimate Life Form has surpassed his brooding tendencies and has become down-right depressed. While he and Sonic are now close friends, it doesn't seem to help. The village and the Blue Blur are beginning to contemplate if Shadow may be worse off than he's willing to let others see. He's withdrawn and seems to carry a cloud over his head all the time these days.

Did you hear what I said? Get lost or I’ll break you.
Killing equals more killing but don’t think I don’t want to… more than anything.
I let him die. And I have the nerve to call myself the Ultimate Life Form? Someone should strip these powers from me. I don’t deserve them.

NOTE: This part is for Team Diamond's long-term Shadow.
We would have made a great Team Dark, us three.
Playtime is over, you fake hedgehog!
We can’t let Eggman get away with this. Not again.
Dr. Eggman is very proud of himself for annihilating one of the good guys for once! With this new success story to parade before the villain-community, his ego has out-ranked that of Sonic the Hedgehog. He speaks confidently and comedically, making tasteless hilarity out of what is for others, an absolute devastation. He's finally proven that he is in fact, truly evil, in spite of his reputation for being a toned-down version of his Modern World counterpart.

Get my good side. I wanna document every aspect of this trip, starting from how dashing I looked on my way out the door.
Of course I killed him in front of them. That’s what makes me a super villain!
Silver the Hedgehog! It’s so good to see you again, alive. Or are you an android of some sort?
Sonic is generally a happy guy and cares a lot about his friends. He's not used to things going horribly wrong without an opportunity to save the day. It bothers him to see Shadow suffering and even though perking the Edge Lord up is no easy task, Seaside Island's favorite hero is up for the challenge. Sonic is up-beat and ready for action but he's also a bit older and wiser now. Unfortunately, he's kinda having a hard time with the harsh realities of life. How could they all loose to Eggman? This is something he's still grappling with.

No no no, don’t worry about it. All that matters is that you’re okay!
We’re equal fighters, a good battle might help you get some rage out.
What’s with the early bird special? The sun just came up. Five more minutes!

Let him go. You and I can deal with Eggman but don't make him do it. Okay? If he stays, he'll only want revenge.
This time Eggman’s gonna pay for what he’s done.
Holy cow, you're alive?! What are you, a phoenix?
Mombot is Eggman's pseudo-mother robot. She was invented when Eggman realized he didn't have any fans and needed someone to celebrate his victories (or rather, failures) with unconditional love. Alas, Mombot turns out to be a bit of a failure in and of herself, as her mommy programing ultimately over powers her pro-evil software. As a result, she takes it upon herself to befriend Shadow. She's friendly and speaks with a Midwestern accent. She won't hesitate to scold someone for misbehaving and is pretty bold in dangerous situations.

You took down a hero from the future! With Silver gone, think of the villains who will triumph years from now.
Goodness gracious, that’s every mother’s worst fear! Eggman didn’t tell me about this part.
Steve Eggman, you’re in big trouble, young man!
The Evil Hotel Manager runs the Villain Wing of a ski resort in the mountains on Seaside Island. He speaks with a presumably well-educated yet snooty voice. He cares greatly about his reputation and won't allow mediocre bad guys to stay in his highly exclusive establishment. He's also delighted to serve a lovely, WEALTHY bat that flies into the lobby dressed as a spy, carrying what appears to be, an unconscious hero. This role is written as a male character but can be easily revamped for a female to play the part.
Alright Nails, here’s your key. Enjoy the view, you’ll be on the top floor.
Those security-cam screenshots you submitted to our Kill a Hero Sweepstakes were clearly fake
You lied to us, Doctor Eggman.
T.W. Barker is a villainous canine known for his conman antics. Charming but sly, he's quite good at earning the trust of others for his own, usually selfish, gain.
While he is not a major character in this story, T.W. Barker has a supporting role in the story that follows. This means, if you are cast for this role, there may be an opportunity to resume the part of T.W. Barker in the future. He is indeed, one of my personal favorites.

Hmm, I’m not sure I want to stay at an evil hotel that serves non-villains.
That’s your son? What, did you have him when you were two? You’re way too young to have an adult kid!
A thousand apologies, Ms. Nails the Bat. You remind me of my own mother, only far more exquisite and refined.
Knuckles is a brawny fella with a big heart. Though he's not known for being the brightest, his happy go lucky nature makes him likable to important people with power. There is a childlike quality to his personality and he's also a huge well... knuckle head. Not the sharpest, but definitely one of the very "goodest" of the good guys.

Wow, sparkly things!
Hang on, Queen Bee, let Tails use his doohicky to open it.
Yup, I have a way with people like that.
Steve Eggman is Dr. Eggman's evil shape-shifting robot brother from another dimension. He and Eggman team up to take the heroes down for ruining Eggman's reputation. He can be pretty efficient once he's morphed into another person, hence he prefers to be called, "Morpho." He speaks with a Californian surfer-dude accent.

Suck it, Rouge! I’m Steve Eggman but you can call me Morpho and we played you like a fiddle! High five, my evil bro-reno!
Uncle, uncle! I surrender, I surrender!
M-Mombot? Haha, I was just messing with her, haha. Just playin’ around!
Orbot is Eggman's dainty service bot. He speaks eloquently and is always by Eggman's side to provide support, even when it goes completely unappreciated.

These’ll be fantastic photos. I don't think you’ve ever looked quite so evil!
Don’t worry, Sir. I’m sure there’s a logical explanation for this.
(scream)
Crbot is Eggman's derpy service robot and not the brightest but definitely quite loyal. He speaks with a goofiness in his voice, as he is perpetual bone head.

Your first real victory! We gotta save this moment in time forever!
Phew! Guess we were wrong
Real great plan, boss.
Amy Rose is a member of Team Sonic. She cares greatly for her friends and hates watching others suffer. In this case, the team is faced with a horrible tragedy so of course, Amy knows she must do whatever she can to help make things right. Standing up for those who can not stand up for themselves is in her nature. She's also good at reading people and seeing eye to eye if it serves the greater good.
Sonic's not answering his communicator!
You're clearly too worked up to be diplomatic.
Forgive our friend, she's very upset.
Sticks the Badger is the toughest and most rugged member of Team Sonic. She speaks with an intense rasp and a slight New York City accent. Known for being a bit paranoid, Sticks has a sixth sense and catches on to even the most outrageous of plots. When Team Sonic witnesses the death of a hero, Sticks' no-nonsense, down to earth nature is heightened tenfold. Her heart is big and seeing good people go down really cramps her style.
He's at the volcano with Shadow, remember?
This is horrible!
Awe come on, have a heart will ya?
Tails the Fox is a member of Team Sonic. Using one of his ingenious inventions, he's able to provide a means for his friends to complete a rather dire mission. Knowing someone's life is on the line, he doesn't hesitate to lend his brilliant mind to help save the day.
Tails has a minor role in this story but reappears on more involved scale, in the story that follows. 15+ contenders only please, due to the heavier nature of the story's content. New audition lines revised 6/11/2020.
According to this database, Rouge, we just used Eggman’s time machine to send your kid from the FUTURE into the PAST to save his dad.
We don’t have time to keep secrets from each other!
That’s it! I’ve got it! I know how we can fix this!

I'm looking for variety.
Sounds pretty evil to me.
