Latest Updates

  • [VA CLOSING SOON] Deadline Update!

    Hello everyone!


    Thanks for all the love and support on this project so far. I've received a shocking 150+ submissions over the weekend, meaning I'll need to be doing a lot of headphone reviewing soon!


    That being said, because of the overwhelming amount of submissions I've gotten, I'm deciding to update the deadline to be a week early: this upcoming Wednesday, the 25th at 3:00 PM EST.


    What does this mean for those who auditioned?


    The next week following that will give me some extra buffer time to review everyone's auditions. From there, I'll be narrowing down my selections to around 5, max 10 voices per role. Those who have been chosen will be required to do a few more takes, from the script, to see if they're fit for the roles. From there, I can select my final casting!


    All casting will be done over the course of ~2 weeks. This means hopefully, I'll have my final voices chosen by the time my animatic is finalized (October 9th). Recording will be done within mid-October.


    As the voice acting roles are a priority deadline, composer reachout will take place later (possibly end of 2024).


    To those who have submitted, thank you for your patience! I hope to reach out to you all very, very soon. Best of luck, and cheers!

[LEAD ROLE] ~80 words/9 lines
Includes shouting, grunts/sfx, possible screaming.


A TV-headed robot trying to adapt to an independent lifestyle in a society re-embracing postmodern retro-90's culture. He’s currently living with Check, his roommate who takes care of most of the responsibilities around the place, but Palmtop is determined to prove himself useful. Being a bit hollow-headed and clumsy, he struggles to find himself reliable. He makes up for this in positivity, kindness and sheer willpower. Though he's desperate for love, his naivety leads him awry as Check struggles to confess his own feelings.


Palmtop is energetic and enthusiastic. He has a bubbly voice that can get a bit whiny sometimes. Masculine, from teen to young-adult vocal range. Not necessarily high-pitched, but animated, expressive and natural.

[LEAD ROLE] ~80 words/12 lines

Includes grunts/sfx.


An intelligent goldfish with a robot body, living life in a society re-embracing postmodern retro-90's culture. He’s currently living with Palmtop, his ditzy roommate who is determined to prove himself useful. Introverted and a bit awkward, Check normally keeps to himself, tinkering away at his makeshift workshop. He has a hard time expressing himself and often comes off as stoic and cold, which isolates him from his peers. Check also struggles to convey his feelings for his friend and ends up roped up in his hijinks.


Check is level-headed, smart and pragmatic, and has an articulate yet sincere voice. Possibly comes off as a bit dorky or awkward. He has a deeper voice than Palmtop.
