Description
Perceptions of the Dead is a horror visual novel about a rather laid back ghost hunter who likes to maintain an air of mystery.
This visual novel is being created solely in the month of March as part of the NanoReno challenge.
It is a total of 16 pages long.
It is the second story in a series, the original being available for free here : http://lemmasoft.renai.us/forums/viewto ... 11&t=26023
The story will require two male voices and two female voices.
The reader for the main character (male) will need to be able to inflect his speech so that it is obvious when he is speaking, and when he is narrating his thoughts to the reader.
This is not a commercial game but we would like to compensate the voice actors for their hard work!

And of course, feel free to talk to me or ask me questions here on lemma!
$60 for Tyrone.
$20 for Tulip.
$10 for Marcus.

This game will be released for pc, mac, linux, android and also hopefully ios.
Before you decide to audition, please make sure you understand the rules.
Please use a quality mic! (no background noises, puffs, peaking, etc)
This is a horror story. Tyrone and Tulip will need to sound scared at times..
There is cursing.
Understand that there is a fairly tight deadline.
There is a possibility of the voices for Tyrone, Ripley, and Marcus being requested to voice act again for a third game. We would like to keep the same VAs if the series continues! (Part 1 has no voice acting, but we may go back and add it.)

Description:
Despite having come face to face with the kind of things horror movies are written about, Tyrone still believes that the worst time of his life was his youth spent growing up in a really bad part of a big city. Now he’s happy to live off the fat of working in a very obscure niche industry and explore the country, helping people put their ghosts to rest, sometimes literally, sometimes not.

Total # of lines: 8
Age: Late Twenties
Preferred voice type : Any

Description:
Marcus is Tyrone’s friend from when Tyrone’s family moved to the suburbs. He’s a bit chunky, but gives so few fucks about anything other than hygiene and cleanliness he is impossible to bother. He has been watching over Tyrone’s house while he’s been away.
Lines to read:
NOTE* Marcus curses a lot. I have spoilered out the lines with cursing to avoid offending anyone. If you aren't comfortable with cursing, don't apply for him! :3

Lines to read:
1- “Tyrone? I had been expecting a more noteworthy name for something like you.” (Note: Teasing)
2- “Yes like that, but not like that. Well maybe. Yes, I can read your thoughts. Sorry, yes, stopping.” (Note : Speaking without particular inflection and moving to apologetic)
