The Most Awesome Game Ever Made
Project Overview
Welcome
Hello all, thank you very much for checking out this casting call!
My name is Luke, I’m 23 years old, I am an Independent Game Developer, and I'm getting ready to release a project that I created in 2017, but recently decided to share publicly for the first time.
It's called 'The Most Awesome Game Ever Made', it's a 2D Platformer and was originally a University Project.
Though most of the gameplay is the same as before, I've decided the game might benefit from the addition of a Complete Voice-over.
While the characters were all originally designed without having voices in mind, I felt it might be fun to give them some and bring them to life!
This is where YOU come in!
Below are some details about the project, I hope you like it and will consider auditioning...
What is 'The Most Awesome Game Ever Made'?
The Most Awesome Game Ever Made is a 2D Platformer, similar to the likes of the original Mario games. The intended release month is November 2022.
Story: "Everything was peaceful on Pixel Island until that dastardly Dr. E. Ville unleashed his Robots upon the land, now it's up to you to save the day!!!"
You can view Screenshots from the Game, and read its description here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2128220/The_Most_Awesome_Game_Ever_Made/
The game is a pretty basic 2D Platformer, nothing too special, but pokes fun at itself quite a lot, hence the ironic name 'The Most Awesome Game Ever Made'.
It has 6 levels, each with a different Hero, and completion takes about 30-90 minutes, but players can replay levels in an effort to beat their high score!
'The Most Awesome Game Ever Made' will also feature a Downloadable Soundtrack, with music produced by my Brother, HMN Music.
What platforms will this game be released on?
I have already paid the required fee for the game to be released on Steam. It will also be available on itch.io, as well as GameJolt.
All of these game pages are currently live and listed below, so feel free to check them out (and wishlist them if you like, tysm):
Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2128220/The_Most_Awesome_Game_Ever_Made/
itch.io: https://nerdybirdstudios.itch.io/the-most-awesome-game-ever-made
GameJolt: https://gamejolt.com/games/TheMostAwesomeGameEverMade/753981
The game will play on Windows, and all being well, Linux.
What about payment?
This is going to be a paid project. As I do not have a publisher for this title, all payments will be made out of my own personal funds.
Payments will be made via Paypal.
What are the requirements for auditioning?
Roles will be cast the day after this Casting Call's deadline, and scripts will be delivered immediately afterward.
As every character only has a small line count, I am requesting that once cast, all lines will be recorded and sent within 7 days of receiving them.
If you are unable or unwilling to meet this deadline for any character, then I thank you for your interest but I would kindly ask you not to audition on this occasion.
A high-quality microphone is an absolute necessity and those who cannot provide this will unfortunately not be considered.
Bringing a positive attitude, being communicative and open, as well as having a Discord account (or the ability to make one) is highly preferable too.
Furthermore, you must be 18 or older to audition for this Casting Call.
I have enlisted the help of an impartial panel that will assist me during the audition process, and help guide me to selecting the most suitable, professional VAs for each role.
Anything else?
The Voice Actors cast will receive all digital content the game has to offer, as well as full accreditation.
If you have anything at all to ask about this project, then please don't hesitate to contact me, I'm very happy to answer your questions!
Also, I'd love for you to join the official Discord for the game for related discussions, and updates, which you can access here: https://discord.gg/edHjJGRcgp

Thanks once more, and I wish the best of luck to those who decide to audition!

Hello everybody, Firstly, I want to reiterate my thanks to every single person who checked out this Casting Call and to those who auditioned. Choosing just one submission for each role was extremely difficult for me and my panel, and there were some really close decisions. Commiserations to those who weren't cast, please don't feel too disheartened. It was a pleasure to hear your amazing voices, and I hope you find success next time. I will be launching a new paid Casting Call in early 2023, for my next project, a Visual Novel called 'Trust Me, Not Her'. Be sure to stay tuned! Thanks again to everybody! Much appreciated. Congratulations to those who were cast. If you'd like to keep up to date with future NerdyBird Studios games and casting calls, follow my Twitter or join the NBS Discords.

More Time Needed For Casting - Thank you all!
Hey all, I'm positively blown away by the huge response to this Casting Call!! Thank you so much!! It's incredible to see so many talented Voice Artists showing interest in this project, I can't wait to listen to all your recordings! Due to the overwhelming amount of auditions (over 1100), my panel and I will require longer than anticipated to listen and analyse every submission fairly. I promise that no corners will be cut and nobody will miss out on having their lines heard. Characters will now be Cast at the Weekend, and of course, the deadline for lines to be submitted thereafter will be expected later than initially stated as well. Thank you for your understanding, and apologies for any inconvenience caused by this delay. Kind regards and cheers once more, Luke of NerdyBird Studios.
The Awesome Narrator will produce a really cool-sounding voiceover for the game's trailer and in-game cutscenes, similar to the sound of an epic voiceover for a movie preview. That's the sort of vibe I'm looking for here!
Male, Female, Young, Old, there are NO restrictions for auditioning, just try to sound as AWESOME as possible!
"IT'S TIME TO PLAY... THE MOST AWESOME GAME EVER MADE!"
"NOW, THE ISLAND'S FATE IS IN YOUR HANDS! WILL YOU FAIL MISERABLY, OR SAVE THE DAY AND BECOME A LEGEND? WELL, WE'LL SOON FIND OUT!"
"THIS IS THE FINAL BATTLE! LET'S TAKE DOWN THAT DASTARDLY DOC ONCE AND FOR ALL!"
Jungle Jack lives in the Jungle, and is the First Hero to be Played in the Game! He speaks in broken English and will probably have a deep, caveman-like voice.
[As this game is light-hearted and cartoonish, I strongly encourage you to apply even if you don't fit the Gender, Age, or Accent of the Character. I am very open-minded about auditions!]
"Me want fight Robots!"
[After being Selected]
"HAHA! BYE-BYE!"
[After Destroying an Enemy Robot]
"Now me angry!! You won't like me when I angry!!"
[After Respawning]
Disco Dude lives in Disco World, and has plenty of style and flare! This should be noticeable in his speech! I imagine him easily fitting into the 1970s. Disco Stu from The Simpsons was one of my original inspirations when I made this character.
[As this game is light-hearted and cartoonish, I strongly encourage you to apply even if you don't fit the Gender, Age, or Accent of the Character. I am very open-minded about auditions!]
"Oh yeah, it's time to get funky!"
[After being Selected]
"You've Just Been Disco-nnected!"
[After Destroying an Enemy Robot]
"Ah shoot, here we go again."
[After Respawning]
Gangster Guy is based on American Gangsters of the 1920s, so his voice should reflect that. Unlike the other colourful levels, Gangster Guy's world features entirely Black & White graphics to match his persona.
[As this game is light-hearted and cartoonish, I strongly encourage you to apply even if you don't fit the Gender, Age, or Accent of the Character. I am very open-minded about auditions!]
"I ain't scared of a bunch of bolts, let's go!"
[After being selected]
"Big Louie sends his regards."
[After Respawning]
"It'll take a lot more than that to keep ME down!"
[After Respawning]
Beach Bro is totally radical man! He loves to Surf on his Board, Snorkel in the Sea, and work on his tan! He might sound like Scooter from Spongebob Squarepants (the Fish who hangs around at Goo Lagoon) or maybe just the sort of accent you'd expect a Californian Surfer to have.
[As this game is light-hearted and cartoonish, I strongly encourage you to apply even if you don't fit the Gender, Age, or Accent of the Character. I am very open-minded about auditions!]

"No more evil-doing for you little Robot."
[After Destroying an Enemy Robot]

[After being Selected]
"Woah, you need to chill out!"
[After destroying an Enemy Robot]
"After a quick cooldown, I'm back!"
[After Respawning]
Dr. E. Ville is a really fun part. He is the Game's Antagonist and is the typical cliche Evil Scientist! So if you can do a great evil laugh and can sound like a megalomaniac villain, then I'd love to hear you try out for this one!
[As this game is light-hearted and cartoonish, I strongly encourage you to apply even if you don't fit the Gender, Age, or Accent of the Character. I am very open-minded about auditions!]
"FIRST, PIXEL ISLAND. THEN... THE UNIVERSE!!" (followed by your best evil laugh)

[After being Selected]"Avast matey!"
[After destroying an Enemy Robot]"I ain't walking the plank yet!"
[After Respawning]
Greetings! Lady Lucy is one of four Characters the Gamer can choose to play through the tutorial with. As a strong Knight, and a defender of the realm, it is imperative that a noble voice matches such presence.
[As this game is light-hearted and cartoonish, I strongly encourage you to apply even if you don't fit the Gender, Age, or Accent of the Character. I am very open-minded about auditions!]
