IRL is a video game where you are given a newly popular gaming computer for your 18th birthday. As you continue to play on it, people start acting strange, and things start glitching out.
This video game is composed of 5 different mini-games, all of which I need voices for. All of the roles are minor, but it will add much depth to the game.
The mini-games are as follows:
Cave Crawler: An 8-bit game where you are an adventurer who wakes up at the center of a cave and has to fight a bunch of monsters to fight your way out of the cave.
The Labyrinth: An olympian-themed 3D labyrinth maze where you start in the center and need to pull levers to open and close walls in other ends of the maze to get out. After you finish each level, a new level is unlocked.
Above the Skies: A cute side-scrolling video game with a cute story where you are the child of the earth, born in the center of the earth, and you want to escape the depths of the earth and finally be free to roam on the surface. You do all this challenging and dangerous parkour to make your way through each new area until you reach the overworld.
Prison Rhythm: A rhythm game where you are a prisoner in a jail cell and have to play music well in order to please your captor and be released.
Mansion Escape: An escape room type game, where you are stuck in a mansion and have to solve all these puzzles to escape each subsequent room and then get out of the mansion.

Again, thank you all so much for auditioning!!
Minor Role. Male, late 40’s to early 50’s. A bit of gruff in his voice. He has been on many adventures and woken up in perilous situations. By now, he is used to the grind of adventuring, and has a more get-the-job-done mindset. General American or Western accent.
Uggh, my head… Where am I?
Well at least I’m not chained up like last time. … Or in a giant soup bowl like the time before that. Or really anything I’ve been through on my previous escapades.
Welp! You know the drill, old man. Deal with the monsters. Get outta the cave. Go home. Let’s go.
Minor Role. Male, early to mid 20’s. British accent. Practical and pragmatic. Like Zagreus from Hades. This is the same Theseus who slew the Minotaur from Greek mythology.
Wait. Damnit! I forgot to use my string! I guess I’ll just use it on my way out.
How big is this maze? … I guess it shouldn’t matter so long as I still have string.
Oh… this is quite sad actually. I sorta feel bad now.
Minor Role. Female, ageless. Regal and Majestic, while also being Motherly. Almost God-like in tone. General American accent.
My child, why are you lonesome? Have I not brought you forth within my innermost core? Have I not given you food to eat and water to drink? Have I not given you myriads of trinkets with which to play? In what are you lacking?
Try as you may, but you may never leave these depths. Ask of me anything and I will give it. Anything under the skies.
You may never leave these depths, my child. But should you try, I cannot stop you.
Minor Role. Male or Female. A child around 10-12 years old. They are the child of the Earth. They long to escape the depths of the earth and savor life above the skies. They are determined and wise for their age. General American or British accent.
But the earth is dull and dark and dingy. I hear tales of light and warmth from above these depths. I hear tales of something cheerful and bright.
Baubles and trinkets may entertain, but baubles and trinkets cannot warm the soul. I long for something warm and bright. I long to savor life above the skies. This is the choice I have made.
Some things cannot change, but there exist some things which can. You have made your choice, but I make mine. You cannot flee because you do not try. I shall try. And I shall flee. And I shall savor life above the skies. This is the choice I have made.
Minor Role. Female and male (plural), ageless. Mystical in tone and speaks in whispers and echoes of voices (which I will edit in). They are stuck within the earth and also long to be free, similar to the Child, but have chosen not to. General American accent.
We are the frozen dung of the earth. Upon whom you trod. Unto what ends are your steps?
We long to join you, child. For this earth buries us within its core. To flee, to dance, to leap is far from us. Unto the end of time we shall remain in these depths.
We are many, child. You cannot carry the whole. We are resigned to our fate. Only for you we hope the earth gives way. Continue in your endeavor. We shall remain in these depths. This is our choice. You have made yours.
Minor Role. Male, ageless. Mystical and fierce in tone. They disagree with the Child leaving and are a bit reprimanding and stern with the Child. General American accent.
I am the tears of the earth set aflame. Unto what ends do you flee?
Has the earth not raised you nor kept you? Has the earth not given you baubles and trinkets with which to entertain you?
Do as you choose. I shall not impede you.
Minor Role. Female (plural), ageless. Mystical in tone and speaks in whispers and echoes of voices (which I will edit in). They have much of an external locus, and feel as though nothing is in their control. They discourage the child from leaving, saying their endeavors are futile. General American accent.
We are the frozen sweat of the earth. Unto what ends are your endeavors?
Your endeavor is futile. You cannot leave these depths. We too long to savor warmth and light above the skies. We too have considered, but we dare not try. Some things cannot change. Try as you may, but you may never leave these depths.
Very well. We shall not impede you.
Minor Role. Male. Mid to late 40’s. Western accent, like Arthur Morgan from Red Dead Redemption II. Just an old jailer doing his job.
*Laughs* Beg all you want. There ain’t no way yer gettin’ outta there alive.
Tell you what, I’ve been feelin’ mighty kind of late. If you can play me my favorite song on the cordia, and play it *well*, I reckon I *might* just let you go.
There's your cordia. Now start practicin’!
Minor Role. Male. Early 30’s. Western accent, with a higher, sometimes exasperated voice, like Kieran Duffy from Red Dead Redemption II. He has a wife and family and is willing to do anything to get out of jail.
Please, mister! There ain’t nothing else I could do! I got a wife and children!
You like music, mister? I could sing a song fer ya! Maybe… "Down the Road"! Or "At Trail's End"! Do ya like that, mister?
"'Board the Bandwagon"?! I ain’t got the skill for that!
Minor Role. Female. Late 20’s to early 30’s. British accent, like Norah (Cissy Jones) from Call of the Sea. She is stuck in a haunted mansion and solves puzzles to get out.
This place is haunted… I can’t die here.
No more killer ghosts, please.
Making progress. Just gotta stay alive and unpossessed.
