Auditions for Voice Actors for the VN Mage Wars (Unpaid)

[dmasterxd]

I am currently seeking voice actors for a VN titled Mage Wars. This will be a free project and for fun because I unable to pay you.

Summary: Yuuji Yuki is an amatuer Mage who by pure chance gets involved in a war between Mages to decide who will get to go to the "Promised Land". As he tries to bring peace between the Mages he finds it's not all that easy all the while breaking out of his shell and forging relationships with his fellow Mage friends, Reika, Nicole, Marianna and Nami.

Progress:
Everything is done except for the Script (which is currently at roughly about 19, 346 words) and of course the voice acting.

Major Characters:

Yuuji Yuki-(15 years old) The Protagonist of the story. Yuuji Yuuki is a shy and reclusive young Mage who's magic skills have dwindled due to not practicing. One day he gets an invitation to the Mage Wars in the mail. The further into the story the more confident Yuuji becomes. His specialty and only magical ability is Illusion Magic. (FILLED)

Sample lines:
1. (Awkwardly) "Oh, I'm so sorry! Are you alright?"
2. (Nervous) "I'm not sure. Do you think I could handle it?"
3. (Sad) "I...I don't believe this. Why...why is this happening?"
4. (Confident) "I promise! I'll put an end to these wars and avenge everyone who had to suffer because of them."
5. (Enraged) "You killed my best friend! You're not my Grandfather! You're nothing but a monster!"

Hey there! Just a suggestion, but it might be a good idea to get your script finished or at least mostly completed before you start casting voice actors.
That way, you'll have a better idea of what the characterization or voices you're looking for for each character, or you'll know in advance if you end up changing any original plans for characters and writing one out completely.
I'd love to audition for your project in the future though!

Ah, okay. thanks for your help.

[Eeznii]

I agree with Adoxographist. Once you have the script at least half done, I would like to audition for your project.

[dmasterxd]

Oh by the way everyone the script for the demo is now complete.

[Trina]

I'll send in an audition.

[melifiry]

Do you mind showing us headshots of the characters atleast? If it's an unpaid project, I'd like to see how far the development of the project is before investing time into it.
