Summon VAs Needed for Webtoon: Wake the Will
Project Overview
Introduction:
Wake the Will is a webcomic series on Webtoon. I write and illustrate for the story as its only creator. This is an ongoing project that I am doing for fun as a hobby, as the general idea for a card game-based series has seen numerous drafts over the years. With this, I'm telling the final, definitive version of the story I always wanted to tell.
-Summary taken directly from the Webtoon series hub: "To avoid the harsh reality that is life, individuals escape into a virtual reality game based around a trading card game named Wake the Will. One girl enters this world in order to set things right and stand against this false utopia. However, her plans derail, as she immediately encounters a boy around her age, whom is one of many that has given up on life."
What's going into the project:
-I am looking for five voice actors to play one minor(rando) character and four Summons, cards played by characters in the story.
-These episodes are videos posted to my YouTube channel, where we will be dubbing over shots of each panel from the webcomic. This will be used to promote the Webtoon, giving it life with voice acting, music, and occasional animation.
-We're planning to do every episode of the Wake the Will Webtoon. There are currently 38 episodes released on Webtoon, with the 39th in production.
Additional details and link to the Webtoon:
This story focuses around players in a VR game playing a trading card game with each other. Players will dramatically play out and announce their moves, as done in Yu-Gi-Oh!, Cardfight!! Vanguard, or Shadowverse. Feel free to take a look at my Webtoon if you are in need for more context:

**While Wake the Will is "SFW", there are some mild cases of the following:
Language
Fantasy violence
Sexual themes

Regardless, whether you're chosen, or not, I have a Discord server for voice actors of all experience levels to join, collaborate, and promote with other voice actors if they would like! To join: https://discord.gg/435frvkyjP

**Needed for the next episode**
Rando Role: (Age 19) Bonnie is a "rando", a title I give characters that show up very briefly and that will only have a couple lines throughout the story. (Rando characters don't contribute too much to the plot themselves. They're perfect for VAs that don't want to be too involved in a project. In addition, the lines for the audition below are the only actual lines she's spoken at this point. So, for the one I choose, I will literally just be using your submission in the upcoming episode to save you the trouble.)
Personality: Bonnie's only appearance shows that she's a bit of a hot head. To be fair, though, her card WAS just stolen by Nin.
Voice: I'm looking for a female VA that has a bit of a feisty voice.

(Angry) "Ugh! Despicable! How'd you even take my card?!?"
(Still Mad) "You're going to pay! I'm going to find out whoever's in charge of this game... and I'll see to it you get what's coming to you!!"
Moderate Summon: Vanilla will primarily be summoned by Hayley, who is one of the three most major characters in the story. (For the VA I choose, your submission for this audition may be directly used for an uploaded episode.)
Card Lore: Vanilla is a preteen girl that loves going to the beach and eating vanilla-flavored ice cream. (For avid card game players, she's a card that doesn't have an effect. Get the pun...?) Vanilla is also best friends with another summon, Lolly. Both Summons wear a friendship bracelet that they one day made in order to solidify their bond.
Personality: She's a friendly, sometimes silly girl, just looking to enjoy the day eating her ice cream.
Voice: I'm looking for a female VA with a young voice that'll match a friendly, silly preteen.

(Eating ice cream) "Om num num"
(Attacking by flinging your ice cream off the cone) "Hah!"

Minor Summon: As of now, your only appearance is when you're summoned by Nin when he battles Hayley. Scarlet may, or may not, be summoned again in the future. If so, it won't be many other times. **For the chosen VA, I may use your submission for this audition in uploaded episodes**
Card Lore: Scarlet belongs to a rich family, that which takes pride in their riches and their fiery magic. Scarlet is the daughter of Glowing Gown, the head of the family.
Personality: Scarlet is elegant and arrogant, fully embracing the rich, preteen girl stereotype. Her favorite food are the grapes picked from the family's garden, that which is done by the family's hired butler, Lumen.
Voice: I'm looking for a female VA with a young voice that'll match a rich, preteen girl. When she speaks, she'll sound proper, but full of herself.

(Looking down on the peasants with a smirk) "Hmph!"
(Orders to your butler) "Lumen! Fetch me the FINEST grapes from the garden!"
(Disgusted) "My WORD!"
Minor Summon: As of now, your only appearance is when you're summoned by Nin when he battles Hayley. Lumen may, or may not, be summoned again. (For the chosen VA, your submission for this audition may be directly used for uploaded episodes.)
Card Lore: Lumen is the proud butler of a rich family, led by Glowing Gown. Scarlet is usually the one who gives him orders.
Personality: He's always ready and willing to serve his master. He does so with a smile.
Voice: I'm looking for a male VA that will match an elderly man that happily serves as a butler.

(Bowing, ready to receive an order) "Hm."
(Accepting your order) "At once, m'lady!"
(Ready to support) "M'ladies, you have my support!"
Minor Summon: Dino-Mite will primarily be used by Fire Affinity players. For now, his only appearance is when he's summoned by Nin when he battles Hayley. (For the chosen VA, your submission for this audition may be directly used in uploaded episodes.)
Card Lore: A cartoony dinosaur that loves pranking others by throwing dynamite. (A dino that throws dynamite. "Dino-Mite". Get it...?)
Personality: He's a prankster, chuckling and laughing whenever he's about to throw his explosives, or while doing so. Sometimes, he'll also go overboard with his laughter.
Voice: I'm looking for a male VA capable of doing a variety of laughs. You'll need to have a good range of chuckles, snickering, and full on laughter, sometimes maniacal.
