Soulbond: an indie visual novel

Soulbond: an indie visual novel

Project Overview

*EDIT (02 Feb.): Thank you all for the interest and large number of auditions so far! I'll be taking a look at all of them by the end of the month/start of March and let you know my decision. I appreciate the patience! The roles will be kept open until then for new auditions :)

Hello! I'm a solo game dev looking for some voice talents to work with me to deliver a professional-looking game. :)

This project is called Soulbond, a dark visual novel settled in Hell, and it's currently under development (but a playable demo is already out!).


Warning

The story may contain sensible themes, so if you're uncomfortable with any of these, I'd advise you against applying! Here are the themes:


  • Grief, death of loved ones;


  • Suicide;


  • Mentioned cannibalism;


  • Blood, described violence;


  • Religious thematics;


  • Strong language;


  • Prostitution and sexually suggestive topics.


!!! Yet it is not a NSFW project and there are no explicit scenes !!!


How it'll work

You won't be asked to voice the entire project, but rather to do simpler short voice clips with generic one-three worded phrases like some from Danganronpa. I will provide the phrases and intonations I would like to be in each, with one or two specific longer phrases.

I'm planning on releasing the game by chapter, so I would like to continually order voice clips for this project! In total, there'll be five chapters.


Payment

I'll be adding this note to each role as well, but the hourly estimate isn't settled, so I'd like to hear from you about your usual rates for this kind of work!

As said before, I'm a solo dev, so I may need a little time to save funds - however, as this is a commercial project, I'd like to pay (and credit inside the game) everyone involved. Please consider the commercial aspect as well when talking about rates!


Where to know more

If you're interested in this project or in my work, here are a few links!


  • Steam game page; the demo is out! Most of the custom lines for each character's audition come from there.


  • Itchio page; the demo can be downloaded through here as well!


  • Project Patreon;


  • My YouTube channel where I post original songs and content related to the game. There you'll also find my Spotify and Twitter links. :)

Latest Updates

  • All roles are now closed!

    I've dismissed all those off the shortlists for now - thanks again to all the actors who submitted auditions, they were all amazing and I really appreciate your time and interest! You made the choosing process really difficult for me hahaha!

    I'm currently contacting some VAs to talk about their prices and working on the script for each character. Hopefully, I will also be assigning the chosen ones to their respective roles on the project page around next week when everything is more defined. :)

    Thank you all very much!

  • Deadline approaching!

    Hello everyone!

    I'm thrilled with the amount of auditions and interest in this project; there are so many talented individuals submitting auditions, and I greatly appreciate everyone's time! As we've now surpassed 1000+ [auditions], I won't be able to respond to everyone, but I'll be dismissing those who haven't been selected to update them on the project's status, and I'll be reaching out to the chosen ones and/or those shortlisted early next month.

    I'm currently listening to all auditions and shortlisting those who best fit the characters, and it's been quite a tough job to decide so far (and there's still some hours left!!!). Once again, thank you all very much for taking the time to submit your character interpretations!

    See you later!

Pastalpahziel is a MC's potential love interest and a fallen angel who escaped from the Abyss, defying the judgment of God.


He has a captivating presence, with features that seem almost otherworldly. His striking looks and confident demeanor make him stand out in any crowd: he's charming and smooth-talking, with a knack for getting what he wants. But beneath his charm lies a darker side – he's willing to do unthinkable things to achieve his goals.


His voice is smooth and alluring, with a hint of darkness lurking beneath the surface.

Madrior, also known as Charon, is a quiet and solemn figure, a fallen angel who now serves as the ferryman of souls and a possible MC's love interest.


He's calm and introspective, with a serious demeanor. While he may present rather cold and distant, he has a set of morals that are similar to a human's, being a trustworthy individual.


His voice is melancholic and lifeless, delivered in a very monotone manner, but somehow reassuring.

Paid: Hourly 20 USD

Akarnarae is a Marquis: the fallen representant of Envy, often confused with a Wrath demon due to his behavior, and a half-possible MC's love interest.


Fueled by envy and resentment, the Marquis masks his true feelings behind anger; an aggressive and always defensive demon, difficult to deal with. Despite his tendency to be a bit of a jerk, those who know him well recognize him as the "best" among the nobility, possessing a heart of gold hidden beneath layers of resentment.


His voice is raspy and strong, often aggressive and bitter. Despite the toughness, there's warmth and sincerity in it.

Tohuom is a fallen and potential MC's love interest - as the Grand Duke of Lust, he owns popular brothels among Hell, being the first-ever angel created.


Flirtatious and captivating, he knows how to draw people in with his warmth and knows when to get serious. Despite his welcoming attitude, it's hard to know his true feelings, as he keeps walls up around him for protection and rarely lets people get too close.


His voice is deep and inviting, warm and charming.

Innel is a potential MC's love interest and a fallen angel of Gluttony. She embodies the relentless pursuit of excess and indulgence. 


Unapologetically audacious, she's not ashamed to push boundaries or bend the rules to get what she wants; always on the lookout for the next big thing, craving more and never content with what she has.


Her voice is bold and assertive, with a hint of cunning and mischief. There's a charm to her tone as well, reflecting her street-smart wit.

Akittazara is a possible MC's love interest, a Greed cambion and Lucifer's right-hand man, his presence always radiating an air of calculated menace.


Known for his ruthlessness and sadistic tendencies, he serves as Lucifer's Head Commander, overseeing Lucifer's personal army with a violent zeal. His smile, always present on his lips, makes it difficult to tell his true intentions.


His voice is smooth and persuasive with underlying menace. Despite his charm, there's a chilling edge to his words that leaves others unsettled.

Paid: Hourly 20 USD

As the fallen angel representing Pride and the one possessing the Lucifer title, Laleit possesses a complex and enigmatic personality.


He is exceptionally calm, collected, and even cold, though he often masks this demeanor with a facade of false warmth and politeness. His every action is calculated and deliberate. He keeps his thoughts closely guarded, revealing little of his true intentions to those around him, always seeming to have a plan in motion with the details hidden until they come to fruition.


Despite his confident exterior, there's a sense of sadness about him. 


His voice is smooth and measured, with a subtle edge to his words that commands attention and respect.

Gabriel

Paid: Hourly 20 USD

As an archangel, Gabriel exudes a calm and cold demeanor, nearly devoid of emotion, resembling a machine more than an angel. His stoicism hides a hidden agenda that leaves those around him uneasy. He operates with a detached precision, calculating and methodical in his actions.


His voice is ethereal and soothing, but despite its angelic tone, there's a chilling emptiness that adds to the unease he instills in others.

  • (calm, but with a veiled warning) "The time for hesitation has passed. Act accordingly."
