Thank you so much for your submissions!
I just want to say one gigantic thank you to everyone who took the time to submit an audition for this project! Everything was so incredible and it was a lot of fun listening to everyone’s different takes on the characters :3
My mind was blown wide open by the number of submissions, and you guys definitely didn’t make it easy for me when it came to trying to decide who to cast, haha. I was sat there for hours at my PC listening to different auditions, and it was ridiculously difficult even attempting to come up with a top 5 for each role >.<
Everyone here is so talented and I feel like it’s an honour to have had the opportunity to hear such awesome auditions. In the end, I tried my best to cast each character based on a mixture of things. The main one was getting the emotions nailed in the delivery of the sample lines, but I was also attempting to match people’s voices to the voices used in the original Japanese CDs so that the characters ultimately give off similar vibes (only possible on the male side of things since the CDs only featured male characters!) Aside from that, mic/recording quality also factored into it, and there were some fantastic submissions that hit those first 2 points but then were unfortunately let down by the audio quality being a little off.
I’m sorry that I can’t thank everyone individually or give specific feedback because I’m sadly short on time when it comes to getting the project finished for the jam deadline, but I do really appreciate each and every person who took the time to put themselves forward for this. It was super close, and I hope I have the opportunity to work with you on something else in the future if I didn’t cast you this time! :3
Thanks so much again and have a fabulous 2024 <3
