Emerald City: The Rise of Eros - Episode 2 (Voice Actors)
Project Overview
A movie-like podcast production:
Emerald City: The Rise of Eros
Set in a mesmerizing magical universe, Emerald City: The Rise of Eros weaves a love story against the backdrop of a world brimming with danger and wonder. This universe is located near the edge of a mystical sea that flows like a river, where the dense concentration of magic has transformed the environment. The planet teems with power, but its magic has enhanced and evolved its creatures into deadly threats.
Humanoids struggle to survive on this hostile planet, constantly endangered by Hord creatures (bug-like species), colossal beasts (three to four times the size of humans), and Titans—all of which view humans as nests or food. Emerald City stands as a bastion of hope in this semi-futuristic world, but the city's reliance on magical engineering adds complexity to its survival. Besieged by relentless attacks, its people face the constant challenge of keeping their sanctuary intact.
The story follows Sophia Starlight, a skilled bodyguard who joins a groundbreaking scientific project aimed at creating rifts to aid in survival. Her mission becomes deeply personal when she discovers her ex, Ethan Sage, is one of the project’s lead scientists. As they work together, Sophia’s journey to mend her fractured past unfolds, offering viewers a poignant exploration of rekindled love and unresolved pain.
Amidst this, the enigmatic Eros enters the scene—a warlock forcefully rifted by Ethan’s team, gifted in mind control. Eros operates on the edge of morality, manipulating those around him or eliminating threats to achieve his goals. As tensions rise, his actions beg the question: will Eros save Emerald City from its monstrous fate, or will his methods doom it to destruction?
Emerald City: The Rise of Eros combines thrilling action, emotional depth, and a world steeped in magic to deliver a tale that asks, "What would you sacrifice to survive?"
Project Goals
This project is dedicated to delivering realistic and emotionally-driven voice acting. The series aims to explore and showcase complex relationships, offering viewers insights they can apply to understanding and resolving real-world challenges. Through cinematic storytelling, the narrative will intertwine themes of love and war, with a strong emphasis on mental health and relationship dynamics.
Key aspects include:
Deep Character Interactions: Most characters will be involved in meaningful relationships, highlighting their growth and struggles.
Emotional Versatility: Voice actors should excel in conveying a wide range of emotions, from tender and heartfelt conversations to intense conflicts and moments of vulnerability.
-
Physical and Emotional Intensity: Characters will require proficiency in:
Painful screams
Combat shouting and grunts
Subtle and sentimental voice work
The story will delve into themes of love, conflict, and the complexities of abusive dynamics, requiring powerful and authentic performances.
Episode 2 focuses on Eros's pivotal decisions: will he choose to aid Emerald City in its survival or lead it closer to destruction? As the city faces an overwhelming attack from the relentless Slegs, chaos unfolds around him. Meanwhile, the team that summoned Eros attempts to manipulate him, using guilt and persuasion to sway his choices. The stakes rise as the city struggles against the onslaught, and its people fight desperately to hold their ground.

Teddy Bip is a young adult, a member of the White Crimsons, with a uniform inspired by Crusaders or medieval knights. We’re looking for a character who leans more toward a military, polite, and semi-serious demeanor but still has moments to joke. He acts more casually compared to completely straight-laced, no-nonsense characters. He’s awkward at times, using humor to lighten tense moments, even if it’s unintentional. While he takes his duty seriously, he also has a good heart and a sense of humor that helps him connect with others. Despite never envisioning himself as a soldier, his determination leads to success. The character must also be comfortable being in a relationship with a female partner.
Realistic voice acting is demanded, anime voice acting is not suited for this Audio Drama
Voice example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DEiU2rHNu-k
The voice should be similar in pitch, but I'm looking for someone who can portray a younger version of this character.

in the middle of fighting off a mosnter, yells at this sister (serious shouting) Agh! Daisy, run. get help! I need you to find a sergeant!
Fedning off 2 monters cournering his family with 1 soilder(serious, in panick but lightning up the situation) I would really appreciate it if you could stick around. My mom and dad really like company. I swear ~they make the best soups in town…
His mom has just been serverely injured by a sleg, the wound deep. He doesen't think she will make it (He begins to tear up. His voice wobbles as he looses himself, he says this quickly holding in his emotions.) Don’t say that mom. I can’t - I can't do this. You have to stay alive for me please. What am I going to tell daisy?
One of the four Chairmen of Emerald City, he strives to be wise and level-headed but often finds himself drawn into fighting. Standing at 7 feet tall, he is an older, large, and bulky character, carrying a strong sense of protectiveness and burdened by guilt. He deeply values his role as a community leader, forging strong connections with the people in his district, and is always willing to make personal sacrifices for their well-being.

(Orin is trying to be patient and calm. He has a heroic, giant but soft character. He keeps fatherly like act mostly for the public and tries to stay in character during his interaction with Eros) There you go honey, make sure you take care of your mom.
(Suspicious, calm, playful) You sure about that? You’re too calm for someone who’s supposedly telling the truth.
(Grunting into tired, into panting) Hmph! Ha! Uragh! ...You are one tough kid... If you’re still awake... One punch is usually enough.
Daisy Bip is between 2-6 years old with a sweet and gentle demeanor. Though capable of speaking, she chooses to communicate through soft, expressive sounds that convey her emotions and intentions, similar to a muted child. In Episode 2, Daisy’s silence breaks as she cries, sobs, and speaks, as the city is under attack. She seeks for help as monsters are potentially eating her family. However, as the series progresses, her situation gradually worsens as the city is invaded and she has to find help.
Daisy’s nasals are clogged, making her words sound slow and unclear, as if she were extremely sick with a bad cold or congestion? She’s just run half a mile, completely drained—physically from the run, and emotionally from all the crying. Her chest is heavy, and each breath is labored. Her voice is weak, almost as if speaking requires all her remaining energy. In this moment, she’s at her breaking point—both mentally and physically. Every word feels like an effort, as she makes one final, exhausted attempt to find comfort with Eros the Warlock.
Daisy’s voice should remain at a normal volume, but with a sluggish. There’s an underlying emotional strain—her voice barely holds itself together, but she’s pushing through because she needs this moment. It’s clear she’s emotionally drained, but she's trying with everything she has left to connect with Eros.

DAISY BIP (Daisy has ran a significant distance away from her family. Her face is covered in snot, saliva, and tears as she finds strength to make hers loud known but her cries go unanswered.) Help me… Please… Help me-Ah. Someone please…
DAISY BIP (Tired but Crying in desperation, snot filled, drouling. Optional choices) Ughuh. Uhh. Ha-haa.
DAISY BIP (scared, telepathic. Calm, shy, scared) Can you help me, please?
Tod Bip - is a warm, chubby, and go-happy father. He is bald, bushy eyebrows, and has a mustache that covers his lips. He is similar to a pool dad, that likes to lay around and always think positive of situations, phrases like

TOD BIP (Whispering to MARY BIP) Get behind me honey, If you jump out like that again, you won't give them enough space to do their job.
TEDDY BIP and TOD BIP (Shouting - select your own words to distract the sleg) Hey! STOP! Hey! Look over here, Hey!
TOD BIP (crying in a controlled manner. Soft spoken neutral. Proceeds to cry) But you hold me together. You are the strongest women I have ever met. What am I going to do without you...
Mary Bip - Mary Bip is a warm, cheerful, and delicate woman. Her greatest dream was to build a family and share the joys of life with her children, which led her to marry Tod, a well-meaning but oblivious man who is content in his own carefree world.
Mary's accent has an early 20th-century American, particularly rural or small-town life in the Midwest or South. This way of speaking, with phrases like "oh deary," "oh gosh," and "pardon me," reflects a blend of politeness, modesty, and a touch of old-fashioned charm characteristic of that time.
Her dream was to have a family and show her children the joy of life which is why she married tod, a clueless man who lives in his own happy head. She is most sound of the family as she keeps everyone in check, but when she has time. She loves to squeeze in her gentle parenting saying phrases like, Oh deary, oh gosh, and oh darn. However in Episode 2 she will be displaying darker emotions of pain, worry, sadness, and physical injuries.
For Line 3:
TOD BIP
(He groans in indecisiveness he wants to die with his wife but understands his responsibility as a father)
Ehm… Honey. You are my everything.

The Sleg attacks her and she shouts in horror as a gash wounds her shoulder. Tod and Teddy Dash towards the Sleg, Teddy raising his sword high. MARY BIP (shouting in pain Several takes) … Ah!
MARY BIP (Speaking gently and softly, smiling) You were my everything too. But we gave that up when we made a child. And don’t forget about daisy. Shes such a daddy’s girl
A new cadet in the White Crimsons, he quickly bonds with Teddy. Calm and rational, he thinks things through while others act impulsively. The military enhances his character, helping him grow into a more confident and assertive person, though he remains grounded and level-headed.
For Line 1:
Teddy is in battle defending off 2 sleg with another White Crimson - JACK ICEBLOOM (21 Male). They are backed against a wall with MARY BIP(46 Female) and TOD BIP(48 Male). They are positioned along the street as the slegs carefully pace around them looking for an angle of attack. A sleg begins to pounce at Teddy.
MARY BIP
()
Teddy!
He pushes back the Sleg and slashes its neck separating the spine.
TEDDY BIP
(Teddy is speaking loudly as the screams of nearby citizens drown out their voices. Speaking conversationally as his nervousness is controlled.)
I got it! Jack, Did you bring any help?
For Line 2
TEDDY BIP
(scared)
I swear ~they make the best soups in town…
For Line 3
A sleg pounces on Jack, dragging him away.
JACK ICEBLOOM (Responding loudly to Teddy) No, Sorry! My team is still having issues regrouping. There are more people further up! I have to go!
JACK ICEBLOOM (trying to be casual and conversational but in a panic) Yeah they seem like nice folks
JACK ICEBLOOM (Screaming scared, the second ‘ah’ is long as he is being dragged away. ‘Help’ is also elongated) Ah! Guah! AH! Help!

Lord. I bring good news. Your efforts in the Material Plane have led to... some rather interesting results with Lord Mortis.
Alfie Bane () If I may, Eros. I sense countless distressed Wisps. I request your affection.
Alfie Bane () Mortis… request you finish quickly. His impatience is rather, unreasonable.
Inval Mortis - A soul surrounded in Iron Armor, a weilder of a spiral hammer. He struggles with a fragmented soul, gradually losing touch with his original identity over the course of 200 years, much like the effects of personality disorders. Despite losing parts of himself, he remains a loyal Warlock, devoted to serving the Weaver and supporting peace. Mortis has a strong dislike for Eros, unable to see his potential. He is dominant and harsh, often belittling and physically attacking those he considers unworthy or without promise to the weavers army.
Line 3
Mortis runs out of the portal, and brings his hammer down with explosive spiritual force, striking the Broodmother.

INVAL MORTIS (His voice speaks in a cocky and arrogant tone. A tone of ferocity and entitlement) -I am the embodiment of desolation.
INVAL MORTIS (slow, Irritated into menacing. Speaking with malicious intent) Do not keep me waiting, Warlock. I do not understand why our Patron tolerates your incompetence, but know this… My hands, will not bear the price of your failure. He seeks an audience with us both. No excuses! Be there when he calls!
INVAL MORTIS (Action Sounds) Gruah!

Casting Call for Eros - Warlock Character Character Overview: Eros is a 27-year-old Warlock who serves the Weaver, tasked with building armies both in the material plane and the spiritual realm. Despite his commanding position, Eros is a man of few words, often speaking in a monotone voice that reflects his emotional restraint. Beneath this cold exterior lies a troubled past that haunts him, a past that he struggles to keep hidden from those around him. As the newest Warlock in the service of the Weaver, Eros carries a heavy burden, often operating more as a wraith commander than a traditional leader. His power is immense, but his inner darkness threatens to overwhelm him.
Voice & Performance Notes: Tone: Monotone with occasional shifts in emotion, reflecting the internal conflict and trauma.
Vocal Quality: Deep, commanding, and slightly ethereal. His voice should have an otherworldly presence, as though it's coming from both the material and spiritual planes.
Emotion: There should be subtle undertones of a painful past — anger, regret, and sadness — which occasionally break through the monotone exterior.
Delivery Style: Controlled, authoritative, but with moments of vulnerability that hint at the pain he’s hiding, dismissive. Casting
Requirements: Age Range: 25–30 years old Vocal Ability: Must be able to deliver a performance with emotional restraint but also convey the weight of Eros's troubled history. Ability to shift between cold, commanding tones and moments of subtle emotional vulnerability is key.
Experience: Previous experience in voice acting for intense, darker roles is preferred. Ability to portray a character with deep inner conflict and an air of mystery.

Eros begins to stumble. He thrashes his head to shake off the pain. The Weaver forces several images in his head. EROS (inside his head) Hugh! Ah! Uragh! Ah!
EROS (neutral leaning sad, tone change into discomfort while telling the story.) Well… My dad’s village was under attack, from um. Another kingdom. I asked someone for help. But I got this instead.
EROS (gentle to sophia, like a father’s ‘matter of fact’ prep talk) Look over at Ethan’s face… He doesen’t want to have this conversation either. He’s staring at the floor because he’s scared you don’t love him. Is that true?
