SHACKLED (Recast: 2 Characters & 1 New Character)

Project Overview

Greetings all, and glad to have you here! This is a new casting call for the upcoming Visual Novel-like Youtube series "Shackled"! 

This is currently an UNPAID project as well as a quite lengthy one. This is also currently a "slow-burn" sort of project.

Shackled takes place within a world filled with interesting characters of many different interests, goals, affiliations, and personalities. As such, really bring the notion of "being a character" when auditioning. Each character will have "Vocal Guides", however these are not specifically there to restrict creativity and more as a direction to go if you're unsure. 

The deadline for this call will be December 6th!

REQUIREMENTS:

-Must be 18 or older to audition.

-If cast, Discord is the base method of communication, though if you have another preferred method, do let us know when submitting.

-XLR Microphones preferred, but not required. USB Microphones work well too!

-Minimize as much background noise as possible.

-When recording, record a MINIMUM of 2 takes per line or a MAXIMUM of 3. Format being in AABBCC or AAABBBCCC.

-If you're auditioning for multiple characters, keep the files separate between characters. 

-Which leads into exporting these files as .mp3 for the sake of data.

In this call we have 3 characters open and can't wait to hear what you all can do! 

If you have any questions about anything, do contact us at any of these socials below!

Void Reaverin
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to: MengVangVO

(Void Re-vair-in)



A member of the Inginous Branch and local slacker. You’ll more than likely catch him patrolling at popular hangout spots or taking a nap where there’s a good breeze. While this is what everyone sees, Fio treasures his talents as he is deceptively intelligent and aware of his surroundings, almost as if his nonchalant attitude is simply a facade. He wields a “Jensa.” A type of weapon that can swap back and forth from a sword to a protective fan. 


Supporting Role


Vocal Guide - Chill, laid-back, carefree, sociable


Vocal References - 


Yakumo (English) Code Vein - https://youtu.be/j42WDKseRHA


Riku (English) Kingdom Hearts - https://youtu.be/Z4JYGIKS0sM


Age Range - mid to late 20’s



Void is a fun-loving guy who doesn’t shy away from coming off as unaware or even dumb at times. Despite this huge responsibility he bears, being a Branch Member and all, he appears as if he doesn’t take it seriously in the slightest. He’s very friendly and inviting in a very “Dude-bro” kind of way, but won’t hesitate to stake his authority when needed.

Language:

  • “Yo! Name’s Void Reaverin! Hope you’re enjoying this weather as much as I am! The temp is perfect and the breeze is excellent! *Yawn* Matter of fact… I think this is a great time for a nap.”

  • (Excited) “Dude, I just had the most gnarly nap in a long while! It was almost like the Gods themselves said that I deserved it! Well actually, I say that quite often huh? Hehe!”

  • (Threatening) “Either way, it seems like you’re playing a dangerous game. As a High Guard soldier, you should know that raising a hand to a Branch Member is a grave offense. This would reflect on you all pretty badly if word of this got out.”

Wave Eldrisia
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to: Rakumaroo

(Wave El-dris-e-uh)



One of the Inginous Branch Members working alongside Fio and master of the “Ryen-Tei” (Re-in-tay) martial art. A Chian fighter who doesn’t like to talk much about her past. She combines her special fighting style with her access to Frost Mauna, the ability to conjure and lightly manipulate ice and frost, though hers is on the weaker side. Despite how all of this might sound, Wave is actually a very kind and upbeat individual. Always finding a nice training session to be the best thing when spirits are low, and always excited to fight new and worthy opponents!


Supporting Role


Vocal Guide - Passionate, strong, enthusiastic, energetic

Annie (English) Skullgirls - https://youtu.be/f9F3QzdCMZo?t=7



Age Range - mid 20’s



HIGH ENERGY! HIGH INTENSITY! Wave is someone who wears her heart on her sleeve and is very enthusiastic about training. She’s not a motor mouth or anything like that, but she should be able to emanate a very passionate aura through her words.

Language:
  • english
Voice description:
  • female adult

  • “Hey there! I’m Wave Eldrisia! Nice to meet ya! Oh wow, you seem strong! Care to spar a bit? Be careful though… I’m a master in Ryen-Tei, and I don’t hold back! Come on!”

  • *Throwing punches and kicks* (Friendly) “Hup! Ha! Rah! Hiiiya! Phew! Oh, Senia, hey! What’s up? You here to train too?”

  • (Angered) “There’s no way in hell I’ll accept such a half-assed match like that! If you care at all about your well-being, snap out of it; put your fists up; and fight like your life depends on it! Because here I come!”

Amori Parson
open
Unpaid

(Am-or-re Par-son)


The trusted right-hand to the Qitaniss (Kee-tahn-nis) King, Amori Parson stands as Avin Qitaniss’ sole retainer. While he serves a man like Avin, it is undeniable that Amori is a skilled and devoted retainer as most could imagine reaching expectations as lofty as Avin’s would seem almost impossible. However, sharing a very similar mindset to Avin and showing incredible skills with several types of weaponry (preferably lances), Amori effortlessly gained his position and swears fealty to Avin.


Minor Role


Vocal Guide - Arrogant, Confident, “High and Mighty”, Pompous


Vocal References - 

Narcian (English) Fire Emblem - https://youtu.be/dN_6xQNXt5Y?si=0Bf2v28Nh0Qaurmn


Revali (English) Legend of Zelda - https://youtu.be/Rkgax2oN_t0?si=J5q1CUPxOr9y3EiR


Age Range - Late 20's


Amori exudes similar energy to the arrogant king that he serves. To him, the only living being that stands above him is his king. Everyone else is beneath him. He shows pride in his capabilities and serves his title and station with passion and determination. He serves a great king, so he himself exudes an aura of greatness.

Language:
  • english
Voice description:
  • animation/character
  • male adult
  • “Why hello there! I am Amori Parson! Dedicated retainer of the great King Avin Qitaniss! Sing your praises now, as a meeting with me like this must be a gift from the Gods. Perhaps you're here to swear fealty as well?”

  • (Grandiose) "Ahem! People of the Inginous Branch City, I proudly stand here today to present the King of the Qitaniss Territory. Cease your applause to avoid spreading any unnecessary germs his way. Make way for King Avin Qitaniss!"

  • (Considerate) "I'd never allow you to sit in such an ill suited seat without making some adjustments, sire."
