Recasting!
Due to the project going on hiatus, several roles require recasting. The updated Casting Call is now open!
https://www.castingcall.club/projects/recasting-from-a-dream-original-video-game
Part 2! From A Dream (Original Video Game)
Project Overview
From A Dream is an original game, based on the actual dreams of myself and some of my friends. A surreal thriller plot combined with a large and diverse cast will (I hope!) make this a memorable and enjoyable game to play!
The story follows the protagonist, S, as they try to navigate the town they know so well turning into an unusual - and sometimes frightening - landscape of puzzles and mystery, on a quest to find their closest friend, Z. Along the way they meet K, A, T, and F, who join them on their quest simply to survive the day. Many other characters will also make appearances, and some may actually have a bearing on the ending depending on how you interact with them, so I hesitate to call them "minor"... but they don't follow the main character.
At this time, this is not planned to be a paid project, but I am willing to discuss if need be!
Also be aware that although this is not an 18+ project, there is likely to be some foul language in the final game. If this is something you are not okay with, please do not audition!
Auditioning requirements:
Please have a Discord account, since that is where all of the detail work will be done for this project.
Please have a decent mic. It can be any microphone you want to use, but if there's too much static/background noise, it will be hard to work with!
Please audition for as many characters as you want! There is a chance that I might even cast some people as more than one role, depending on the size of the roles.
Please Do Not send more than 3 takes of any one audition. If you have a few ideas of how to interpret the character, I would love to hear it, but any more than three becomes a pretty major time commitment. I will also consider all auditions from one person when casting a role, meaning I will look at your range before making a decision!
Additional Notes:
Casting for these roles will include both a Primary and Understudy VA
Roles marked with * may be cast before the deadline! All other roles will not be cast until the deadline has passed.
Thank you for reading! I hope this will be a fun project for everyone involved!

Voice Actor
*K (Companion)*
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to:
Lyric Nicole
K is incredibly witty, but in a quiet and hard-to-notice way. She spends most of her time drawing or listening to music, which makes people feel she is not paying attention, but she is incredibly observant. Everything she does is with a subtle twinkle in her eye, reserved for her few friends.
Age: 14
K is transgender, so transgender (particularly transfeminine) VAs are heavily encouraged to audition!
Voice: medium to medium-high pitch, quiet but warm, low/medium emotion, laidback
(relaxed, friendly) Hey, S! Oh, I wouldn't go in there if I were you. Something is seriously weird about that room today... Sure, whatever, see for yourself. Your funeral.
(solemn, remembering something painful) Yeah, well, I'm used to it. I only stopped getting looks about a month ago. Carat's the only one who hasn't slipped up on my name this semester.... and it's only been a few weeks!
(mostly to herself, a witty mumble, poking fun in a subtle way) Pirates, huh? I like pirates.
Voice Actor
*Esher*
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to:
cakezobe
Esher is Riid's younger brother and a big ball of energy. He is always there with a smile, ready to gush about anything and everything that crosses his mind. If anyone is upset, he will do everything in his power to cheer them up. The only problem is that he is not a very good listener...
Voice: Childlike, medium-high to high tone, fast paced (the fewer breaths, the better), extremely high energy and inflection
(super fast, breathless excitement) There's a frog in the back and I almost caught it but it was slippery - you know how frogs are all slimy and hard to hold - so it jumped out of my hands but it was so big it almost didn't fit in my hands - and maybe that's also why it was able to jump out - but the point is it was really cool and if you come quick you can maybe see it!
(slightly panicked) So I think I might have grabbed too many dishes and they're starting to slip could you maybe grab a few before they all smash on the floor please???
(very sincere, shocked) This is really for me like you didn't just find this somewhere right it's for me and it's true you promise?? Oh wow. I don't know what to do - what do I say I mean no one has ever given me a note before and it's so nicely written and everything what do I say back I don't know!!
Voice Actor
*Olli*
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to:
No Ap0logy
Olli has his own quirky little speech pattern, which only seems to match their bouncy friendliness. He seems a bit larger than life, but never in a way that implies he wants to put himself above anyone else. Their laidback attitude has earned him very few enemies but many friends, which pleases them greatly.
Olli is nonbinary, so transgender/nonbinary VAs are heavily encouraged to audition!
Voice: Fairly androgynous, medium pitch, confident and strong, high inflection
Optional Voice Notes: An Australian or New Zealand accent
(casual and friendly) You planning on saying hi, then? Not that you have to, just saw you looking over!
(playfully offended) Oi! Bit below the belt, there, don't you think? Never did ask for your input, did I, but there it is in any case!
(embarrassed, sheepish) Ah, well.... not exactly how I meant that. See how you'd take it like that, though...
Voice Actor
*Aone*
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to:
Charlie Everly 🎙🎭
Aone is a very happy and good-natured kid - the only thing that truly upsets them is being treated as broken or stupid, neither of which is remotely true! Their halting speech is due to needing an extra moment to process their thoughts, but otherwise they speak clearly and with purpose.
Aone is nonbinary, so transgender/nonbinary VAs are heavily encouraged to audition!
Voice: medium-high to high pitch, melodic and childlike, medium emotion
Voice Notes: Please note that the pauses between words are them trailing off, rather than a hard stop.
(making a suggestion) ...hmmm............go....left..?
(pleased as punch) ...I won..!
(offended and discouraged, grumbling a bit) ........not....stupid....
Voice Actor
*Douske*

Unpaid
Role assigned to:
ibeck
Douske is the fun babysitter from every TV show. Not afraid to show a little frustration, they still never fully lose their protective vibe. They care deeply about Shayr, but also about the world, and their Big Sibling energy is ever present.
Voice: medium pitch, medium emotion, laidback but still firm
(fed up and frustrated) That's it! I'm sick of working on this - every time I think I got it, the whole thing falls on my head!
(gracious) Thank you so much for your help, I don't know if I could have done it without you. If you ever need anything, you know where I live! Oh... that sounds creepy. Not in a creepy way!
Voice Actor
*Myryn*
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to:
HecticVexor
Myryn (Mer-ihn) is a sweet and bubbly inventor that just moved into town with her partner, Rhehm (Rem). She is blind, but it doesn't seem to ever affect her spirits, even when it places her at a disadvantage. She refuses to see the negative in life.
Voice: medium-high to high pitch, rich and warm, high inflection and emotion
(delighted) Oh, Rhehm - I can't believe it! Just as soon as we move here, exciting things start happening! Isn't that wonderful?
(deep in thought, going into mad scientist mode) Do you suppose I could invent something to-.... no, we would need to know the cause first....
Voice Actor
*Jordan*

Unpaid
Role assigned to:
LaurenTracy
Jordan is a team mom, and she would do anything for her partner, Chieko (Chee-ko). She only makes an appearance in a small cutscene, where the two of them are trying to make it to the next town through the woods.
Voice: medium-low pitch, calming and motherly, medium inflection
(gently) It will be alright. I know where we are going, and I am not going to leave you behind!
(warm, loving but also a bit chiding - responding to Chieko's self deprecation) You know that I would do anything for you. I love you, Chieko.
Voice Actor
*Hymrii*
closed
Unpaid
Hymrii is Esher's sister, who feels a bit estranged due to them being separated for several years. However, they have recently reunited, and they get along pretty well despite the gap! Hymrii is generally very sweet and kind, and she loves to feel like she's been able to help someone, even if it's in a small way.
Hymrii is transgender, so transgender (particularly transfeminine) VAs are heavily encouraged to audition!
Voice: medium-high pitch, medium inflection, kind and sincere
(friendly quickly turning to distracted, receiving a cryptic text) Oh, I dunno. I guess I'll just have to find...out... Okay actually I really gotta go. Sorry.
(friendly) My brother's at the cafe, if you wanted to ask him about all this! It's still kinda exciting to say that - mom said he ran away years ago. I didn't think I'd see him again until this last year! It's been kinda weird, but I think it's going pretty well, considering.
Voice Actor
*Granny*

Unpaid
T's Grandmother is the kind of old lady who seems impossible to ruffle. She is calm and kind, despite the growing unease in the air.
Age: 86
Voice: medium pitch, warm, medium-low emotion (calm)
(pleasant) I don't see why we couldn't plan something for the next month. Either this will blow over, or it won't, but at least we will have something to look forward to.
(chiding) What do you plan to do while you're here? Sit around and listen to us talk? Go on, I will be perfectly safe, and you might just find out something useful.
Voice Actor
Rhett
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to:
No Ap0logy
Rhett is a laid-back and casual guy, who tends to always be in a good mood. That being said, he's not about to let anyone hurt those he cares for most, and he's ready to fight tooth and nail when necessary. He's incredibly friendly, and wants to make people happy, so he's usually cracking some sort of terrible joke.
Voice: Very light-hearted and jovial, casual, semi-deep, "big brother" type
(friendly, with a smile) “You look like you could use a pick-me-up. How ‘bout we go get something to eat and you tell me what’s up?”
(serious) “Fuck with them again - no, just try it. I dare you.”
(jovially, almost laughing) “Hey, Takeo, let’s go get a drink. I promise to keep it to two...maybe.”
Voice Actor
Hiro
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to:
CameronCurtisVO
Hiro is roughly six-foot-five, very muscular, and covered in scars, giving him the extremely grizzled appearance that makes him intimidating to almost anyone to meets him. However, while his deep voice may usually be laced with swears, it hides a soft kindness behind it. He often acts as an older brother or father figure to others, and is fiercely loyal and protective to those he loves. Works with animals and has a major soft spot for cats.
Voice: Deep, gravelly tone, the kind of voice that carries, often has a hint of anger to it, even when not, a warmth behind his words.
- (Intimidating, but subdued) Oh, the scars? Workin’ as an animal trainer goes south sometimes. But I’m still breathing, I won’t go down that easy.
- (Warmly, fatherly) Hell yeah, you won kid! You did awesome, I’m proud of ya. Tough as a lion, ain’t ya?
- (Aggressive) You got a fucking problem? You want to say some shit again? I’ll break your goddamn jaw, then we’ll see how much you wanna talk.
Voice Actor
Feronia (Roni)
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to:
thesillykitty
Feronia is a kind-hearted, if somewhat nervous, person. She is an aspiring psychiatrist, who wants nothing more than to help others, after dealing with severe and debilitating mental health issues for most of her life. However, it is clear that there are some parts of her story that she is not proud of and that she is trying to atone for. She is friendly and caring to others, and will always stand up for what is right.
Voice: Medium-toned, with a somewhat higher and lighter inflection. Much of what she says feels somewhat unsure, and can border on childish. Think Rapunzel from Tangled.
- (Concerned, caring) How are you feeling, do you need anything? Please know I am always here for you. Take a rest if you need.
- (Happy and loving) Thank you…for giving me my strength. I’m so grateful to have met you. I love you.
- (Nervously, almost afraid) What are you talking about, why are you so okay hurting others? You’re…you’re a monster…
Voice Actor
Katsumi (Kat)
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to:
Colllyon
Kat is highly energetic, and incredibly friendly. They love to make people laugh more than anything, and are usually pretty good at doing so. They don’t let their disability slow them down, and move around fast, whether on wheels or on foot. It’s rare not to see them without either a friend or their boyfriend at their side, as they tend to attract others with their infectious laugh. Certainly a bright spot.
Voice: Medium to low, with a lot of enthusiasm to it. They can talk a little fast at times, especially when excited. However, they can tone it down when need be. A possible example to draw from could be Jake Peralta.
- (Happy and bright) Yo, what’re you up to? Nice! Go out there and kick some ass today, okay? You’ve got this.
- (More subdued, but friendly) Oh yeah, a lot of people said that crash would end my career. But hey, here I am! Can’t get me to give up easy!
- (Protective and loving) Hey, look at me. Let ‘em say what they want, they don’t matter. I still think you’re awesome.
Voice Actor
Souma
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to:
Ren Alberg
Souma is incredibly nervous, and very soft spoken. He doesn’t tend to stand up for himself. He’s afraid of what others will say and do to him if he argues, and it’s clear that something unhappy has gone down in his past. He speaks with a stutter, but gets more confident and clear when around those that he loves, especially his partner. His voice is very quiet. But he wants to be stronger.
Voice: Medium to high, with a slightly unsure inflection. Very soft-spoken, with a stutter to most of his words. He can be more confident at times, but still shaky. A possible example could be Evan Hansen.
- (Seemingly afraid) C-can I…help you? Why…why are you t-talking to me? Oh, you j-just…wanted t-to say hi? S-sorry…
- (Calmer, happy) Th-thank you for…b-being here. I feel like I c-can tr-trust you. I really ap-ppreciate you st-staying with me.
- (Annoyed) Wh-why…? Why d-did you do th-those things…? I was weak and sc-scared…a-and you used m-me…f-fuck you…
Voice Actor
Tadashi
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to:
MatthewKBaier
Tadashi is a model student. Or rather, a model of what to never become, according to the school. Delinquent by nature, he is never seen without his signature baseball bat, Agatha. But what people don't know is that underneath the rough exterior and leather jacket lies a man with the same misty-eyed wonder as a child, who makes up for his lack of book smarts with a hell of a lot of street smarts. Those who take the time to know him become fast friends, and often have the backing of an entire gang, run by Tadashi himself.
Tadashi has a medium to low voice, someone who can command a room, yet still lend aid to those who need it.
[Wistful, delighted] Hell yeah! That's what I'm talking about. No worries, just endless sands and a drink in your hand... That's the life, y'know?
[Enraged, focused] Now you listen here. I don't know what the fuck you think you're doing, but that shit is NOT about to fly here. Got it?
[Neutral, inquisitive] But... Wait, hold on. Let me try to wrap my head around this. You did what, again?
Voice Actor
Keila
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to:
HecticVexor
Keila (key-la) Luna Dela Rosa - Aka, Pirate queen! Keila is bubbly lass who enjoys being with people. She is willing to give the shirt off her back to anyone who is in need.
Her voice would be upbeat (if you want to try an accent, then go for it!)
(happy) Oi oi! Nice to meet ya! I’m Keila Luna Dela Rosa! But most people call me Hurricane! And I am pleased as punch to meet ya!!
(interested, a little embarrassed) Wait a tick….you can read!? Can you teach me!? I can read a map like no one's business, but my lord's books are my white whale!
(controlled anger) Look here Mate... you can spill mud on my name all you want - rake it cross the deep if ya please - but don’t you dare try to attack my crew, or else you’ll find out why they call me hurricane, got it?
Voice Actor
Chieko
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to:
Calliope Monroe
Chieko is a very unimposing figure, one who really prefers to stay out of sight. They’re not at all sociable, and struggle to make it through small talk, tending to find other people irritating to be around. They’re an expert criminal hacker, who doesn’t like to go outside much, and gains energy from being alone around technology. So it’s a wonder that they can usually be found with a very friendly hiker who loves the outdoors.
Voice: Medium-to-high, an afab nonbinary person who has been on testosterone for about 3 years. Their voice is typically very bored, and their words are kept very short. An example could be Albedo from Genshin Impact.
- (Slightly irritated) Did you…need something? I’m kind of, like…doing something. Important. So important. Best you just…go away.
- (Flustered) I don’t know what you’re talking about…I’m really not anything special. I’m just good with computers…you’re much cooler…
- (Focused, somewhat more confident) They’re…they’re counting on me. I’ve gotta shut it down so they can get in. I’m not gonna fail them…
Voice Actor
Kyo
closed
Unpaid
Kyo is a young boy, about fourteen years old. He’s certainly in the stage of life where he’s trying to seem tough, and so he tends to be very standoffish. He’s rarely seen without a phone or handheld game console in hand, catching and battling digital monsters. He’s not one for social interactions, much prefering to stay on his own. While he can come off as rude, he’s actually very lonely.
Voice: Medium, childlike voice. Like a teenager who either hasn’t hit puberty yet or is currently going through it. Somewhat scratchy and immature. He usually sounds annoyed. An example could be Shiro Takaoji.
- (Distracted) Go away, I’m trying to catch this Catachu. You wanna know what I’m playing? Obviously it’s Mini Monsters Go, dumbass. Now go away before I lose my focus.
- (Blushing, nervous) You wanna…learn how to play? I mean, you can get your own game. Oh, you wanna play the game…with me?
- (Passionate and frustrated) Tash Ketchup is a little bitch, I caught all the Minimon by the time I was eight, it’s not that hard! He’s just stupid and weak!
Voice Actor
Josiah
closed
Unpaid
Josiah Callas is a rather quiet, shut-in individual. Coming from a bigoted family, he and his sister were able to escape and move into a small apartment together, but not before the emotional toll on Josiah left him quiet and sheltered. Contrasting his loud-mouthed sister, he quite often sits in the quiet corners of a room, sketching and drawing outfits. He has a knack for fashion, despite his disheveled appearance, and the creations he makes are quite the stuff of fashion runways. Despite this, he's refused to bring his sketches to life, fearing the rejection and ridicule he believes would follow, like his parents had "warned" him.
Josiah has a medium-high voice, improperly adjusted to a life of social interactions, but with the hidden self-assurance many strive for.
[Pensive, friendly] Well... I can tell you this. If - And this is a big if - I ever have a fashion show... I'd love to have you there.
[Distraught, verging on panic] Where's my notebook? Please, I can't let anyone throw away my notebook, it's too important to me. It has everything.
[Sheepish, quiet] There's a reason I like Opera music, you know... It's not that surprising, considering my sister is classically trained.
Voice Actor
Taro
closed
Unpaid
Taro speaks with a mix of confidence and fear, someone always trying to sound excited but sometimes coming off more anxious than he would like. He is quick to make friends, and does as much as he can to make them comfortable around him. He always tries to be the voice of reason to those around him.
Voice: Medium pitch, fast and bouncy inflection, friendly but slightly tense.
[Nonchalant] "Two days is nothing. Did I ever tell you about the time I was stuck in Ireland for a week because they had a problem with my passport?"
[Extremely fast] "Listen, I really didn't know if you wanted to hang out because, y'know, you're really cool and I'm kinda just me but like if you ever wanted to play a session I'm just saying I have an entire campaign planned out and ready and--H-Huh?"
[Exhausted, but teasing] "Alright, that's it. Rocks fall, everyone dies. New character sheets, all of you! See you next week! ...Kidding, of course."
Voice Actor
Hana
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to:
sputnik
She is a very quiet and borderline reclusive woman. She doesn't really like initiating conversation or engaging in it much at all; she'll speak with others if they insist on it. If she's stressed, she can be quite direct, rude, and defensive. However, she's relatively tolerant to most in general conversation despite potential disinterest.
Optional Voice Notes: Hana is nonbinary and uses they/she pronouns, so nonbinary/transgender VAs are encouraged to audition!
Voice: Androgynous/Femme-Leaning Register, Medium Pitch, Low Inflection, Dismissive and Quiet
Optional Voice Notes: Speaks in as Few Words as Possible, Often Mumbles Her Words/Sentences
(shy and somewhat optimistic) You…would actually be interested in hearing what I’ve got to say…? Well…that’s a new one.
(dismissive and biting) Two’s company and three’s a crowd…though I’d much prefer it if it was always one. Leave me alone…
(distant and lonely) No one has ever come to me in moments of need, so I’ve learned to take care of myself. I’ve never needed anyone before, and I’m not looking to start now…
Voice Actor
Ivan
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to:
BrianBallance
Ivan is a very carefree and friendly personality and it shows in his ability to easily make conversation and get to know someone! He’s very much a people-person and sociable, which seems a bit in contrast to his big and intimidating appearance. He can become protective over those he cares about deeply as well as those who seem as though they can’t defend themselves. He'd more than gladly put himself in harm's way for someone.
Voice: Masculine Register, Medium-Low Pitch, Confident and Bright
Optional Voice Notes: a Russian Accent
(friendly and optimistic) I am quite handy! …What do you mean I should not phrase it like that? I would just like to offer…a helping hand is it - that is the phrase, yes? Do not be afraid to call upon me for it!
(dejected and saddened) Friend, there is nothing that you cannot do, but I cannot help you if you continue to push me away…
(defensive and angry) I will let no harm come to anyone while I am around! Not while I live and breathe!
Voice Actor
Jace
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to:
BrianBallance
Jace is a 20 year old freelance programmer, whos face makes him look much younger than he is. He’s easily agitated, especially when he gets distracted from his work. A strong believer in the supernatural, and especially fanatical about the existence of life outside of our planet. Get him started on this, and he will talk about it for ages, with proof and sources. He’s also mean to his brother, Dylan, but actually cares about him a lot.
Voice: Medium, closer to a 16 year old than a 20 year old. Often sounds very irritated, can almost border on sounding condescending. He talks on the faster side. And example could be Fuyuhiko Kuzuryuu.
- (Very focused, annoyed) I’m busy, Dylan. I’ve gotta get this done today or I don’t get paid. No, you can’t play Sims. You want me to get mom in here?!
- (Passionate) No, that one wasn’t a real abduction, it was just someone on drugs seeing an airplane. Aliens aren’t gonna fucking pull someone up in the middle of a fucking city alleyway, dumbass! Are you stupid or something?
- (Calmer) Are you…doing okay? You look like you’ve been crying. Can I do anything for you? I’ll get you some ice cream.
Voice Actor
Fuse
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to:
LaurenTracy
Fuse has an imperative voice or way of speaking and is confident and determined. She is very brash. She is very strong headed and will speak her mind whenever she pleases. She doesn't care about making friends but if you happen to crack through her walls she is very caring.
Voice: Her personality shows through her voice as its very strong and has a slight growl to it as her voice raises. For the most part she doesn't show much emotion except for anger so her normal speaking voice sounds a bit bored.
(casual and standoffish) Can I help you or are you just going to stand there and look at me?
(offended and pissed) Listen here! I didn't ask for your two cents! Maybe let the grown ups talk and go sit in a corner
(embarrassed) H-Hey just cause I did one thing nice doesn't mean we are friends and all... geez.
Voice Actor
Ari
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to:
Serena/Seven
Ari is a very energetic girl, with sugar in her step and a tendency of getting distracted. She’s often described by friends as being full of life, and strangers as an overwhelming sugar rush. Energy is never rare in her, yet she tends to befriend anyone with ease
Ari is Fem-presenting, though Nonbinary VA’s are welcome to audition
Voice: High-pitched, full of energy and the tendency to stutter when speaking too fast
(Energetic, welcoming) Hey hi hello!~ Welcome in, come over here! if you plan to come around here often you should come over here! We have cheetos, we have soda - oh oh oh! and we also have (insert random object)
(pissed) you mean to tell me in 5 MINUTES!…. you managed to commit a massive felony… AND YOU DIDNT INVITE ME? what kind of - now THAT is the criminal thing!
(calm, just caught stuck in a vending machine) heyyyyy….. come here often?…. nah, i’m just chilling, do you want a cheeto? granola bar?…. its free for another 30 minutes
Voice Actor
Raiden
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to:
Ren Alberg
Raiden is an abrasive but well-meaning individual. He cares deeply about others and has a strong sense of justice and loyalty. As such, his way of speaking can be a little rough but usually isn't very loud.
Raiden is a trans-masc character so it would be ideal for a trans-masc VA to play him!
Voice: Medium pitch but kind of quiet, a little bit of a rough tone
(Awkward but friendly) I... only know card games, so we'll have to play one of those.
(Annoyed) If you're going to keep chattering on about nothing, could you at least take it over there?
(Concerned) Hey, are you alright? You can stay close to me if it makes you feel better.
