Story of a Wanderer [VN GAME]

Story of a Wanderer [VN GAME]

Project Overview

Story of a Wanderer is an original visual novel game that I have developed in collaboration with another artist. The script and coding of the game are already completed, only some finishing touches, including voice acting, are still missing. Both of us will be choosing what voices to cast, so after the deadline is finished we might take a few days to come to a conclusion about who to cast.

PLEASE, CAREFULLY READ THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION.


Plot: The story is set in the Edo period and follows Kuro, a ronin that travels from place to place to survive with the coins he receives from his killing services. He meets a strange teenager after an incident, Nisshoku, who asks him to save a woman in exchange for coins. Accepting the deal, both begin their journey together, with many shenanigans happening on the way.

Genres: Mystery, Drama, Comedy

Rated: PG-13 (Violence/Physical Abuse, Sexual Innuendos) 

Type: Visual Novel with mixed media art (traditional and digital) in a manga-ish style.


Details you need to know: The game has a duration of more or less 1h30-2h, depending on the choices made throughout the game. Therefore, only some parts are going to be voiced. There will be some interjections during the parts without lines (similar to what happens in games like Danganronpa for example. Additionally:


  • When auditioning for any role, we ask you to submit a clean take, with little to no background noise and with a decent microphone (no phone recordings). Two to three takes on the same line are suggested. You may audition for several roles and you may be selected for more than one role if fitting. 

  • Neither of us are English native speakers, so we appreciate any adjustment of the lines if they do not sound very fluent (except for Nisshoku).

  • Considering the rating of this game, we are only interested in voice actors/actresses older than 13 years old. With characters that have seductive lines, please only audition if you are 18 or older.  

  • For paid roles (check out the payment details in each role), we will only work with Paypal. Therefore, you must own a Paypal account and be willing to provide your email associated with that account. We will only pay after the lines are delivered. We know the amount for each character is not high but it is what we can afford right now.

  • Lines are already prepared for each character, so if you are selected, we will send you your lines immediately. You will also have access to the game so you can get into the character more easily. We will also provide you with guidelines for the character you were seleced. You will have about two to three weeks for delivering the lines after we get in contact with you.

  • Lines should be in .wav or .ogg formats.

  • Communication will be through Discord to facilitate fast communication. 

  • Your name/username will be added to the credits of the game.

  • Have fun! This is a really special hobby project we worked on for a whole year, so we are very excited to present it to the world. So we count on passionate people who enjoy unprofessional games and give more layers to a character through their voices!

If you have any additional questions, don't hesitate to ask me!

Kuro
closed
Paid: Daily 15 USD
Role assigned to: Sean Madson

Kuro is the main character of the game. Despite being a serious and introverted man, he can be quite sarcastic upfront. 


We imagine his voice to be similar to Haiji Towa in pitch and way of talking. We're open to suggestions though.


For the interjections part, you can interpret it as it would fit the character (if we cast you, we'll guide you through the "correct" interjections). You can have some ideas for interjections in many videogame videos like LoL or Yakuza for instance (though many of them only have fighting sounds).


Payment: 15$

Voice lines: +100 (most of them are short)

Language:
  • english
Voice description:
  • male adult

  • It was an accident, calm down. We don't want to make a ruckus out of this. We are merely passengers in this town. (nonchalant)

  • I apologize for this brat's behavior too. He can be too reckless. (annoyed) Who are you to call me a thief?! You robbed me blind! (angry) Who are we looking for? Is she your sister? Your mother? You are a brat next to her. (teasing)

  • Interjections: Pain, fighting shout, surprise, realization, annoyed, thinking, confused, doubt, mocking, irritated (sigh), shocked, angry/frustrated, "smile", laugh (open laugh), Laugh mischievously, embarrassed

Nisshoku
closed
Paid: Daily 15 USD
Role assigned to: MaximiterVA

Nisshoku asks for help from Kuro to find someone. He is a teenager who mumbles and mispronounces some words, making him very distinctive, and because of that he is not often taken seriously. 

 

We imagine his voice to be a nasal one, he may have a countryside sort of accent, a way of talking differently. For his pitch, something like Child Emperor from OPM or young Gugu from To Your Eternity (examples 1 and 2)


For the interjections part, you can interpret it as it would fit the character (if we cast you, we'll guide you through the "correct" interjections). You can have some ideas for interjections in many videogame videos like LoL or Yakuza for instance (though many of them only have fighting sounds).

  • I saw what you did, thief. Return it. (trying to be sound tough) ; Oh, that. No, no. I didn't "thief" you, I-I saved you. (uncertain)

  • Oooooooh! This is where you are habitating? (curious, fascinated) ; Anyway, I was planning on crossing the river. The only way is by West Port. We should get moving. Ready I am, if you are. (matter of fact)

  • Interjections: Pain, fighting shout, surprise, realization, annoyed, thinking, confused, doubt, offended (Hey!) ; mocking ("hehe"), irritated (grunting), shocked, angry/frustrated, laugh (shy laugh), embarrassed

Daitan

Paid: Daily 15 USD
Role assigned to: Daniel Fore

Daitan is one of the characters that cross paths with Kuro. She is often mistaken for a man and loves fighting with everyone. She's Koemi's besshikime, so she only speaks calmly and is controlled when talking to her. 


We imagine her voice to be similar to Eda from Black Lagoon in pitch but with sort of the same personality as Majima Goro from Yakuza and the different voice changes as Junko Enoshima from Danganronpa. Any accent is welcome.


For the interjections part, you can interpret it as it would fit the character (if I cast you, I'll guide you through the "correct" interjections). You can have some ideas for interjections in many videogame videos like LoL or Yakuza for instance (though many of them only have fighting sounds).

  • HEY!! Calm down?!?! Calm down you say?! (losing it) Tsk. If you say so, I will respect your wishes. (annoyed)

  • You won't have many options, you'll be coming with me now. Either by walking or by me carrying you, pahahaha. (taunting/teasing)

  • Interjections (her interjections are really theatrical): Pain, fighting shout, surprise, realization, annoyed, thinking, confused, doubt, mocking, irritated, shocked, angry/frustrated, laugh (always the evil pahahaha)

Koemi is a noble woman that crosses Kuro's path. She's soft-spoken, polite and has a mature voice. She says some lines in a seductive way, depending on the context, so please only audition if you are ok with it (no explicit lines).


We imagine her voice to be similar to Sango in Inuyasha in this clip in pitch and way of talking. We're open to suggestions though. Any accents are accepted.
