Sad Panda Studios, an indie game dev team, is looking to commission a few voice actresses to lend their wonderful talents to our game ’Crush Crush’. You can check it out here: http://store.steampowered.com/app/459820
It has been played by over 7 million people across different platforms like Steam, web, mobile, etc.
The game currently has over 40 characters who are all voiced, so now we are looking to add more characters to our game. Character descriptions are below, along with their audition lines. We would like to open up auditions to anyone who would like to try one, two, or all of the characters. Please note, this is a dating game so there will be the full gamut of cute to sexy dialogue. We will have adult themes in some versions of our game, therefore we ask that only female actresses who are 18 and older apply. While the theme of the game is very lighthearted and fun, you must be comfortable with delivering mature and sometimes risqué dialogue. We can provide examples if you are unsure, or you can check out the game on Steam.
Please try to record it as close to your speaking part as possible so there is no long silence at the end of your clips. It’s also very important that you have a good mic with no background noise; we’re looking for high quality semi-pro or pro auditions.
Please post your submissions here. If chosen, then we will message you asking for the following info: Your full name (and nickname if you’d like) for the Credits / Email address / Any links to demo reels or past experience
If chosen, you will be emailed a contract with details of how many lines we need and how compensation will work. We’re a small studio making free games in our personal time, so we can’t promise big studio prices but we’ll work with you to find something you’re comfortable with. The total number of lines is around 250 per character (or 2000 words).
A very gothic "Wednesday Adams" sort of character that finds delight in the macabre and depressing. We picture her with a soft / sweet british accent - to contrast with some of the bizarre and dark things she says. She's the kind of character you would find in a boat, on a pond, sipping tea in the rain. She hangs out in cemeteries. She likes petting spiders, and gives them all names. You meet her by accidentally smashing a coffin she's hanging out in - she's upset that you disturbed her "living burial". She's not necessarily supernatural or a vampire or anything - she just seems at home among the dark and lonely corners of the world. A very Edgar Allen Poe type of figure. As she falls in love with you, she would make all kinds of dating "mistakes" - giving you a REAL heart, instead of a valentine (chicken heart?). She would not be averse to physical romance, but think very Morticia Adams at that point. Looking for her Gomez.
You may swoon over me and kiss my arm a hundred times, if you want. I like that.
You fill my heart with shadows and sadness. Please never leave.
There's nothing more tragic than getting stabbed in the back by a friend. That's why I try to make as many as possible. Also - I bought you this knife.
She is the personification of iOS/Android phones. Sirina is very very enthusiastic, helpful, and sweet. She's the embodiment of your phone, so she's super helpful, knows all your dirty secrets, and always affects an optimistic, long-suffering demeanor. She might come across as very sarcastic, but with no sense of irony or condescension. Sirina is just a super helpful A.I. that winds up falling in love with you.
I really enjoy it when you turn me on. I mean literally! Well... Also figuratively.
Gosh there are a lot of troubling websites in your browser history. But don't worry! I'm fully encrypted, and cannot be compelled to testify to a jury!
Hello! I'm Sirina - your fully interactive mobile assistant. I cannot be uninstalled, so looks like we're stuck with each other!
She is a robot girl, and we would love if this character's delivery was very sweet and warm, but also VERY professional. Like a personal assistant or "girl friday" that enjoys having a personal relationship with you, but is also very concerned about your nutrition. This robot girl is adorable, easily flustered, and shyly dismissive of your advances. She is obsessed with rice. No need to give her a robot-sounding voice, it can be natural. The origin for this character is that she's an advanced rice cooker from Japan, that the player orders online. The gag is that this is just how awesome rice cookers are in Japan. We still want her to have a sweet and positive personality, but we want to REALLY emphasize the gag that she's very obsessed with rice, and always tries to guide the conversation back to rice. She'll ask the player if they would like rise at the most inopportune times. The more outlandish the gag, the more it'll sell.
Oh! You speak English! Luckily I am fluent in over 6 million forms of rice! Yay!
If you find your neck is commonly sore, try stuffing your pillow case with rice! It's nature's pillow!
I, umm. I often have this silly dream about you... And a bed of rice. Like - a BED bed.
Shibuki is a really great Ninja, but sort of accidentally? She is well trained, confident, and lives and breathes the Ninja way of life. So much so that she insists on doing everything as "Ninja" as possible. She Ninja Cleans. She Ninja Crochets. She Ninja Pees.
This should make her sort of terrible at being a Ninja, but she pulls it off. She's determined, upbeat and fun, with just the right amount of snark and coyness to make her a brilliant conversationalist. It's like all other Ninjas are doing it wrong. And she won't tell them, because she's nice and also it means she can kill them if she wants to. We imagine Shibuki being funny and unguarded with her thoughts, and unhindered from saying whatever's on her mind. And often - what's on her mind are Ninja puns. God does she love Ninja puns.
Stay back! Or I will use the most ancient of all ninja techniques! "Sticking the pointy end of the knife in you!"
What do you mean Ninjas don't wear pink? We wear whatever we need to to blend in. And I want to blend in with cake!
Yesterday I threw a smoke bomb and accidentally hot boxed my target's apartment. We wound up playing video games and eating a durian. Weird day!
This character is meant to be ostensibly based on Cheetara from Thundercats, but we don't need to lean *too* much into that reference. Catara's personality is difficult to define in broads strokes (she's determined? Loyal? Intelligent?), so we'd rather hear a colorful take on that idea. This character is hyper-active (literally ADHD), very excitable, easily distracted, very cheerful and happy. Not in an annoying way though, make it cute! Try doing these reads very quickly, while still being understandable. Her storyline is that the player joins a super hero team and she's the one who trains you / is part of the trainee team.
Gotta go fast! Or at least a brisk pace. I can handle a brisk pace every so often.
HiI Hi! Hi! I'm Catara and there's no time to explain! Put on a fake beard and COME WITH ME!
*Giggle* I once dated this hedgehog fellow. But let's just say he was... A little TOO fast for my taste. Hahaha!
Tessa is a girl of “ferocious joy”, who likes to smile and bare her teeth. She’s a high energy, in-your-face sort of girl, that likes to pinch your bottom, jump on you unexpectedly, hug-pick-you-up, and actually bite you. She’s exhausting. But she’s also really really sweet, loyal and protective, and she’ll let you know it. She might like to be a pest, but if someone is bothering you, they’d better watch out. Tessa is always ready for a scrap, isn’t afraid to tie her hair back and get things done. When she crashes, she crashes hard. She sleeps way beyond normal amounts, and wakes up with major bed-head and drooly face, Anna-style from Frozen. She likes to sprawl out and use you as a pillow, and she’ll dig her claws in to keep you there if you try to slip away. In amongst all that manic energy is a crazy-happy and curious woman, who looks at the world with wide wondrous eyes. She wants you to take her places and show her things, and she hangs on your words and stories with awe and delight. She makes you feel like a million bucks, and there’s no problem or sad-story that won’t result in her cradling your head to her breasts and just sort of letting you breathe and figure it all out. She also loves dog puns WAY too much. Like all the time. When she’s sick, she’s sick as a dog. When she’s tired, she’s dog tired. When she’s hanging out with friends, it’s what’s up dog. She still likes hot dogs though. And junk food. Even when it gives her a tummy ache. And just so it’s said, she’s a very noisy lover who wants it doggy style (naturally). She enjoys smearing peanut butter on various parts of your body, and wouldn’t mind if you tied her up with a leash and just sort of had your way. Tessa is all fire, fun, fangs and fecundity.
Hey! Hey! Excuse me - hey! Hey. You there! I got something to say! Hey, hey, hey! It's Important! Hey! HEY! Hi. *giggle*
Just so you know - on a scale of 1 to 10, for how awesome you are, you are a piece of bacon. Oh yeah.
Oooh! Scratch me there again! That made my leg go all scratchy scratchy scratch!
We're wanting a delivery that's vivacious, spunky, confident and with an exotic accent of some kind (Brazilian Spanish) This character is fun, flirty, active, leaves you breathless. She dances, she yogas, she plays in the ocean - she's a 24/7 ball of energy and sexuality. She's the type to grab on and not let go. She leads you by the hand. She should come across as reckless and freedom-loving. She's always wanting to have fun, cause mischief, or make love. Preferably all three at the same time. Her one liners should stop you in your tracks.
This song! It gets in my hips and makes them misbehave. Watch out - they are coming for you!
If you do not put on some music, I shall hold my breath until I pass out. Then how will you explain?
You there! I am imagining you naked. It is a great improvement - trust me!
This is a parody of the Final Fantasy 7 character 'Cloud', only gender-bent. We like the idea of trying to fuse Tifa and Cloud's personalities into one character, and making reference to the absurdities in what their relationship was like. Example: Cloud is often depicted as moody and melancholic - it would be funny to combine that with Tifa's drive.
I think I have a crush on myself.
I feel a deep yearning to brood with all my determination.
I hope you don't get a sword plunged through your chest from an alien clone fused with the life force of the planet. I would be sad. Well... More sad.
Rosa is a Spanish dancer. Her heritage is half and half Spanish and Italian; she learned to cook from her Mama, but learned to dance from her Papa. She is full of life and sees the good in everything. When she is sad, she dances away her sorrows! The delivery of this performance should lean more on Spanish, almost like a Penelope Cruz impression. She is a mature woman, so a deep/rich voice would be great. Even though she is older than most of our other characters, she is one of the more playful personalities.
No no, you do not understand! We cannot fall in love! The gypsy woman warned me on the night of the lunar eclipse that I was destined to curse the ones I love!
*sigh* Things would not be so bad, if my evil twin Lola would finally stop trying to steal my Mama's secret recipes!
My Papa was a dance teacher, and my Mama a cook. So you can thank my Papa for the way my hips move. But you can thank my Mama for the hips! Hee hee!
Wendy is the gnarly, kind of crazy, food-obsessed "horn dog" type who LOVES inappropriate behavior, being WAY too open and honest with sexual thoughts or ideas, and wants very much to incorporate food and the Player into the sex fantasy of her dreams. With all that being said, Wendy is more than her fetish. She is funny, punny, sort of ridiculous and usually has a wry or "colorful" joke to share. She is honest and forth coming with all of her feelings. While this often manifests in comments with sexual underpinings, this is usually just her default mode. With people she cares about / opens up more to, she becomes a very chill, very affectionate person. She's the type to offer a massage or to "fool around" with someone she cares about, and is probably a bit of a drinker and / or stoner (though we haven't hinted at this yet). Her "fantasy" of just being the Player's roommate with benefits speaks a lot to her character. She's not really seeking a deep emotional bond with anyone. The idea of having a friend who wants to fool around or shoot the breeze is her ultimate "comfort" fantasy, and says a lot about her character. She's laid back, a little on the gross side, but super sweet and very very affectionate.
Hey, sexy beast, look alive! I've got a special offer for you. One-day only! But first you've gotta answer a skill testing question. True or False - the average human contains over 80,000 calories. Which in scientific terms is a "crap-ton". Guess right, and you'll win a "special" prize!
Loooooong day at work. Split shift. Oh! And I had a lady pull my hair when I wouldn't give her a free ice cream.
Anyway, I've ordered like 20 cheeseburgers and I'm probably going to stay in tonight for some "me" time. This is the start of my weekend, so I'm good to go into a food coma for a couple days.
Generica is a ghost. And she's kind of a scary ghost. I think a great angle for the character is to have her start out REALLY scary and off-putting, and gradually warm up and become more endearing as she falls deeper in love with the Player. We do a lot of "power of love" scenarios in our games, and helping a ghost girl become sweeter, more romantic over the relationship should work really well. In her scary form, her conversations should evoke horror tropes. ("I A M B E H I N D Y O U. . . N I C E B U T T" / "H A V E Y O U S E E N M Y C H A I N S!") Overtime, her less scary self is a ghost who is loveable and affectionate. This character was deeply in love with the Player before their death, and won't pass over because of that love. A source of humor and cuteness would be for Generica to start using her ghost powers for mischief and loveable stuff. "I can turn invisible... Hee hee... Oh my, I guess I CAN still blush!" I can see her gushing about how wonderful the Player is, and telling them that she'll be with them forever. Even after death...
D O W A N T T O P L A Y A G A M E? Teeheehee, got you didn't I?
I ' M O N E O F T H O S E F R I E N D L Y N E I G H B O U R H O O D G H O S T S. E X C E P T S E X Y.
Senpai! I tried to make you some food before you got here but possessing a stove isn't as easy as you think.
