Premise
Full-Dive VR has come out and a group of friends got access to it! Little do they know there is a small twist to the game... Of course, it isn't a death game or anything. Since that concept was already invented in fiction, it was play-tested heavily before it was released. Instead, there is an interesting side effect that comes from playing an RPG game. The question is, how would you build your character if you knew that changing a number could change your real-life self?
Project DetailsThis Project is an audio drama based on the concept of Full Dive VR! Episodes will be ~30 minutes long and will be paywalled, with teasers posted to YouTube! The cast gets access to finished episodes of course!
How Long Will The Project Be?
Project length will depend on demand! Currently, I intend for there to be 10 episodes but I have enough content to bring us up to ~30 episodes if needed! If the demand is there, we will keep going! Episodes will be released weekly, so the series could be fully published in ~3 months or ~9 months. Then, I also have plans to work on side stories to show character interaction 1-on-1 that you wouldn't usually see.
Requirements:
You need to be able to work on this project for quite some time, as this is a long-term project.
Please only apply if you are 16+
Please submit raw audio recordings. Do not post process.
Submit 2 takes of each line, and make sure there is variation (tempo, emotion, intensity, etc)
The use of AI is not permitted.
Submissions that have clear and clean audio will be favored. Experience is not required, as long as your acting is okay.
I may need you to resubmit lines to fit the story tone better.
What Kind Of Things Will Be Talked About?
This is a story of many themes: Coming of age, living with insecurities, healing broken relationships, resolving tension, Growth, Balance, Improving yourself, rivalry, and eventually cooperation.
How Many Lines Will I Have?
Your Lines Are Dependent On Your Character. As an estimate:
Main Character Group: 3-5 minutes of lines per episode
Antagonist Character Group: 3-5 minutes of lines every 2-3 episodes
Side Characters: 1-3 Minutes of lines every 3-5 episodes, or a lot of lines in 1 episode.
Reserve Characters: 1-5 Lines in 1 episode, without the promise of a return (You will be given 1 month advance MINIMUM)
How Does The Workflow Look?
We will begin working in January. The goal is to have multiple episodes ready to release before we begin releasing content so that in the event of illness, emergency, etc, we will not have to resort to a hiatus and post backup content while we recover. This means that releases will start in early 2025, and that is when you will receive your flat payment for your work.
How Does Payment Work?
You will be paid when the 1st episode and teaser is released. This amount is the amount listed next to your character. However, each cast member will receive future payments based on sales of the audio drama. The better the project does, the better we all do!
What are you doing with your cut of the money?
My cut of the revenue will go towards paying an artist to illustrate this audio drama! I only expect this to happen if the project is a "success", but it is my goal!
Update #1
There is still a whole month to go until I make decisions and hold the next round of auditions! After listening to many applicants, I've narrowed down what I'm looking for in each role. I will update the descriptions and voice line examples to reflect this. I've also noticed a lack of love for certain characters, and as incentive for you to apply for less popular characters, I will be increasing pay for certain roles. So make sure you check that out! I've also added the Information broker role, so please check that out!
I also will start commenting on auditions soon. Thank you for showcasing your talent! This is going to be a hell of a project :)
