Ogilvie - A Sonic the Hedgehog Audio Drama

Project Overview

Ogilvie is a self-aware fanfic re-interpretation of Dante's Inferno.

This project is a reading of a Sonic the Hedgehog feature screenplay. The screenplay is fully written, (and publicly available for all to read here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ZLxO0OYXmV2LdtDP5KjAnQwz1dPGip21/view?usp=sharing) and I'm looking for voice actors to play the characters. (Also an artist to draw a poster, and any musicians who'd like to cover a song for me to use over the credits.) Feel free to refer to the full script if you want more context for a role. An offsite actor will be providing voiceover narration and I'll be editing everything together.

Some warnings about the screenplay: It features swearing, graphic violence, sensitive topics like religion, (Sonic kills God) suicide in relation to religion, (Sonic breaks down Judas's suicide in the Bible according to the World Health Organization's guidelines for presenting suicide in media) as well as a romance between Sonic and Mario. So if you're comfortable with all that, awesome!

  • Ogilvie Progress Update

    Hey there! Euan here. If you're reading this, you either contributed to Ogilvie, (my Sonic audio drama project, for anyone who has no idea what this email is,) auditioned for it, or followed the project, so thank you! It's been a while since the CastingCall listing so I thought I should bring you up to speed (get it speed) a little on what's been going on. Once I finished casting roles, I went about getting all the line readings for the project. I was truly blessed to have a wonderful and talented cast, whom I cannot thank enough. This was my first time hosting a CastingCall project, so I was honestly pretty nervous, but it was a fantastic experience and I can't wait to share the end result. Since then I've been cutting it all together. And with something like 20 actors, it took some doing. But as of a little while back, I've officially finished an assembly cut of the project! It runs in at just over 2 hours, so God knows how much raw audio I worked with overall. It is without a doubt the largest project I've ever undertaken. That's not me bragging by the way, I just think that's hilarious. This is all hilarious. Anyway the assembly still needed sound design and some punched up timing, which I am currently in the process of putting together. As of writing this, I've just reached the 1 hour mark. So the end is fast approaching! That's all for now. I love you. Buhbye.

The lead! I wrote the role with Jaleel White's Sonic in mind (https://youtu.be/FRJohy5kN0Y) but I'm open to other interpretations, so have fun with it! Be warned that Sonic has a lot of lines, and that you'll need to swear, shout, kill God and love Mario. 

This version of Sonic starts out as you would expect, but through trials and tribulations spirals down into a confused, depressed and morally grey antihero. The first line comes at the beginning of the story, and should be Sonic as you expect him to sound. He's sarcastic, he's quipping, he's taunting Robotnik. The second is at the very end, when he's been ground down. It should have less of the affected enthusiasm that the first line has. And the third is him in Fleetway Sonic the Comic Super Sonic mode, when he turns evil. He's singing Don't Stop Me Now, but you don't have to be any good at singing. It's not a musical number, it's Sonic singing to himself dementedly. 

Also here's Don't Stop Me Now since people haven't been doing it to the tune: https://youtu.be/HgzGwKwLmgM

  • (With typical Sonic snark)

    Well would you look at that, the hero triumphed over the villain. What a surprise. Are you gonna come quietly? I mean, we don't have a prison here because we're... y'know... animals.

  • (Solemnly)

    My name is Ogilvie. I'm fifteen years old. For as long as I can remember, I've fought back for freedom against Julian Robotnik. Until today... I had a bad day.

  • (Twisted, insane, evil)

    Tonight... I'm gonna have myself... a real good time. I feel ali-hi-hi-hive. And the world... I'll turn it inside out... Yeah... I'm floating around... in ecstasy... so... Don't. Stop. Me. Now.

Tails

Role assigned to: YZINX

It's Tails, as we've come to expect him based on the modern games (but with some of the childishness of the old TV shows.) He's a genius child prodigy, and in this story he's left feeling vulnerable after the disappearance of Sonic. He forms an unlikely bond with an unusually kind Badnik, Coconuts, throwing his whole understanding of what it is he and Sonic are doing into question.

  • (Explaining to Sonic as they run)

    Robotnik's trying to open up a portal to a special zone so he can get his hands on the Chaos Emeralds. He needs 50 rings to open it.

  • (Scared to ask)

    Hey... Coconuts? Do... Do you have an animal inside you?


  • (On the brink of tears)

    Because they're lying in front of me in a heap of shrapnel and I need to know how I'm supposed to process that!

Super Mario, in this story taking the role of Sonic's perfect boyfriend. Could be the usual Charles Martinet voice (I didn't write in the "-a"s for that accent so if you're doing that, you'll need to just add them yourself at your discretion) or it could be something different, like the old Lou Albano/Bob Hoskins brooklyn accent, or your own voice. Different interpretations welcome.

  • Hey babe. You looked so peaceful, I didn't want to wake you.

  • Ogilvie Maurice Hedgehog. You've made me the happiest plumber in Brooklyn. Nay, in any borough. Would you do me the honour of marrying me?

  • (Terrified. Trying to be heard over loud noises around him.)

    Spikes, what's happening? I'm scared!

Coconuts

Unpaid
Role assigned to: Fructose

The monkey Badnik from Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5nLhQRqv-fU&t=15m12s) He should sound reminiscent of the show, but maybe less grating on the ears. I wrote it with a vague cartoony New York accent in my head. In this story, Coconuts is a janitor for Dr. Robotnik. He doesn't have much loyalty to his boss, and upon discovering Tails alone, abandons his duties to instead make sure that the abandoned kid is okay.

  • (Reassuring)

    Ah, I'm not gonna hurtcha kid. I'm just the janitor.

  • (Explaining where he got a blanket)

    Heh, Dr. Robotnik? No. Some ladies near here run a quilting circle.

  • (Seriously)

    I know. I get it. I don't like it either. I don't like knowing that I've got some critter trapped inside me. I don't like that that- that- that life was taken to bring me into existence. But the alternative is... me not existing.

Role assigned to: AJWilde

When Sonic enters the VR world of Ready Player One, he meets a teenager in the Oasis using an avatar of Sayori from Doki Doki Literature Club. Could be a girl, could be a boy, or anything in between. They're the kind of person you'd meet in VRChat, the type to make some memes and then unload their life story on you.

  • (Getting the attention of a crying Sonic)

    Hey. Pussy. Why're you crying?

  • I always liked having forts, you know? Little hideouts that were just big enough for me. I guess maybe it feels like... more of a safe space if I can see it all at once.

  • (Sonic just asked what she's playing)

    Are you serious, man? It's Sonic 1. Vanilla, emulated. No rom hacks, no spin dash, no Christian Whitehead fixes. Spike glitch intact. Oh, and it's NTSC, obviously, not the 50 Hz PAL version. Heh.

Role assigned to: Joveo

This Sonic has been trapped in limbo for decades. Doesn't need to sound like Sonic; just do an old man voice. He's become resigned to death after years alone, but upon finding a Chaos Emerald, clings to it dearly as the method of escape he'd given up hope for long ago.

  • Well, I got the drop on ole 'Buttnick and hopped into that giant ring, hoping I'd find an Emerald in here. I can't tell you how long ago that was, since there aren't really days and nights anymore. But I think it's been a while. The beard usually means it's been a while, right?

  • (Cheerfully)

    Would you kill me?

  • (Going full Gollum-precious-mode over a Chaos Emerald)

    It's mine! I didn't wait all this time for you to waltz in here and take it from me. You can't have it!

From the Archie comics, an alternate version of Sonic who watches over the multiverse from his perpendicular universe. In my head he sounds like Chris Pine, Hollywood handsome. Other interpretations welcome.

  • You're in the No Zone. You know about parallel universes? Well, this is a perpendicular universe. Perpendicular to all the parallel universes. From here, I keep watch over the multiverse. I'm a zone cop. Zonic the zone cop.

  • Eggman went to your universe, and we've been watching you ever since. We knew if we could bring you here before you left the Special Zones, We'd have 7 Emeralds in our favour and Eggman would have 7 less.

    You looked mad! I lied! Sue me.

  • I don't think you fully understand... This isn't the world you're from. We exist outside it, pulling the strings. We're producers. Movie producers. We're the ones concocting the narrative, writing everything that happens to you.

  • You want to come in here and tell us how to do our job? This is our story, not yours. We know what makes the big bucks, we've done the focus groups and the online market research.

    The moonbeams playing over you and me
    I see the light of love
    Shining in your eyes

    Loving you beneath the stars

    And we can dream on
    Sweet dream

    I feel your breath-it whispers like a breeze
    Baby, please be mine
    Till the end of time

    [Pre-Chorus]
    I'm holding you in my arms
    Loving you beneath the stars
    I don't want the night to steal you away

The tone of this project is difficult to nail down, but basically: I want this played straight. A calm narration as you might hear in an audiobook of something classier.

  • Sonic is stood in the middle of a field, in a white suit. He looks up, and as he does it begins to rain blood onto him, staining his suit. He closes his eyes. As he opens them, his surroundings have changed. He's in the oval office.

  • Rouge the bat examines the corpse of Charmy the bee, which sits completely still on the windowsill in front of her. She briefly considers vore-ing him, but dismisses the thought and sets about disposing of the rest of the Chaotix.

  • Tails stands at the entrance to Marine Land, the duffel bag sitting on his back like a backpack. He glances around, surveying the security. He notes the cameras, the three guards within view, and commits them to memory. He doesn't quite have a plan yet, but he knows what he has to do. Tails was going to free the orcas, or die trying.
