Hey everyone! Miguel here, it's been a while since I've posted an update but we're moving along! We now have casted every main character. All we have left to cast are some of the confidants, Captain Kidd, and Chorus Members! All of you who auditioned have wonderful voices and I'd like to thank you all for auditioning, by asking all of you to audition for our chorus! As a side note, we also need a few more artists and writers. Once we have all that, our crew will be finished and all we'll need are the last few characters!

CASTING!
So, thanks to all the great auditions that have come in, I have found who I believe are the best candidates for most of the cast. On Saturday, April 14th. Here are the characters I have found candidates for: Akira, Ann, Yusuke, Makoto, Futaba, Haru, Akechi, Arsene, Zorro, Carmen, Kaneshiro, Sae, Mishima, and Takemi. If you plan to audition for these characters, you have until April 14th. As for the rest of the characters, this casting call will stay open as I look for them. If you are not casted for a character, but I like your singing voice, there is an EXTREMELY high possibility I will message you to ask if you'd like to join the chorus. Thanks everyone who's interested in this project! -
More casting info
So, casting time is nowhere in the near future, but I would like to point out that when I do cast, I only plan to cast people with a maximum of 2 roles per person (though I will try to keep it to one role). I will not count any of the voice acting only roles or the Chorus, so it's possible you may be casted for 2 roles and one of those. Once again, I'd like to thank ALL of you for the wonderful auditions I keep receiving! -
Update on feedback
Thanks to how many of you wonderful people have been sending me BEAUTIFUL auditions for each character, I've been slightly overwhelmed with having to give feedback on each one, so from now on, I will not be giving feedback for every audition. Despite this, even if you don't get feedback, you still have a chance of getting casted as I may just not have time to respond to your audition at the moment. -
goddammit ccc
So, thanks to this great new Casting Call Club update, the design is more clean, and several things have changed for the better. Except one thing: THEY DON'T GIVE THE OPTION TO CHANGE A ROLE'S TYPE. So every single one of the roles says Voice Actor, and the only way for me to change it would be to delete them all and remake them as Singer roles. I'm too lazy to do that, so please ignore the role types until CCC fixes this, thanks.
Akira, also known as the protagonist or hero of Persona 5, should have a calm and collected voice with a tenor range. (preferably a wide one) He sings alot of solos as the leader of the Phantom Thieves, but also has quite a few songs with his fellow thieves.
(Trying to raise his team's hopes) Phantom Thieves, I am your leader. No matter what happens, we will continue to reform society!
(Angrily) I'll reveal your true form!
*sing any song in the tenor range*
Morgana is the mastermind behind the Phantom Thieves. His high pitched voice means he should probably be voiced by a female, but if you're a male who can go high, by all means, audition. In no way am I looking for an exact recreation of his in-game voice, if you have a voice you think will fit, please use it. Morgana should have a mezzo-soprano range.
(Sarcastically) Wow, you said a pretty complicated word back there, Ryuji!
(Confidently) Too late for apologies!
*sing any song in the mezzo-soprano range*
Ryuji is a short-tempered and rebellious outcast who often finds himself in trouble at school. He's the heavy hitter of the Phantom Thieves, and his voice should reflect this. His range is a tenor, and often sings with others with occasional solos.
(Angrily) Kamoshida's making me so effin mad! I'm gonna train so much today that by the end of it, that idiot'll feel it!
(Jokingly curious) You think the chocolate I got from my mom counts as a Valentine?
*sing any song in the tenor range*
Ann is an energetic and confident girl. Known for her beauty, she often finds herself being stared at. Her voice should be bubbly and excited. Her range is a mezzo-soprano.
(Jokingly angry) Hey! Just because I look good doesn't mean you can stare like that!
(Extremely angry) You've pissed me off, you son of a bitch!
*sing any song in the mezzo-soprano range*
Yusuke is an calm and elegant guy. He speaks poetically, and has a love for art. He's observant and dramatic. His voice should be extremely calm and deep. His deep voice leads him to a baritone range.
(Disappointed and frustrated) I am quite disappointed in the 4 of you. I expected you to understand and appreciate art! It seems you are simply followers of the crowd.
(Sadly) It seems the truth is stranger than fiction.
*sing any song in the baritone range*
Makoto is first seen as an uptight, kiss-ass class president, and causes nothing but problems for the team. It's later revealed she is quite apologetic, and only acts this way to maintain a good reputation to impress her sister, Sae. After joining the Phantom Thieves, she remains apologetic and intelligent, but now makes several efforts to be more understanding and frequently attempts to connect with her fellow students. Her voice should be calm and collected, but if she needs to, she'll scream angrily. Her range is mezzo-soprano.
(Softly) All my life everything was planned for me, but I want to make my own path now. With the Phantom Thieves, I finally have the will to do that.
(Angrily) Shut your damn mouth, you money-grubbing asshole!
*sing any song in the mezzo-soprano range*
Futaba is best girl. Futaba also is a cute, shy, shut-in, who's skilled in hacking and all things technology. She starts out having delusions and hallucinations, which caused her to ask the Phantom Thieves to change her heart. She then joins the Phantom Thieves as a navigator. Her voice is high-pitched, but sharp. She lands in the soprano singing range.
(Start off sad and then turn that into anger) When I watched my mother die, it happened so quickly. So unexpectedly, it caught me off-guard and caused me to panic. I know now, that those feelings, those were all the fault of those rotten adults. I'll never forgive them!
(Confidently) From now on, I'm going to use my own heart to distinguish the truth from the lies!
*sing any song in the soprano range*
Haru is polite and gentle. A little bit insane after joining Phantom Thieves. Her voice is gentle, EXTREMELY HIGH PITCHED, and soft. She's a soprano.

(Angrily) Farewell, dear father. I am no longer your subservient puppet!
