Complete Isolation is a [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] freeware RPG Maker VX Ace 2D atmospheric survival-horror game that aims to break the mold and expectations put onto 2D survival-horror as well as what can be done with the RPG Maker VX Ace engine. Using original audio, art, and taking advantage of RUBY scripting, the game is currently under development via live broadcast on my personal [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.].
While voice acting isn't a priority at this stage in development, I wanted to get the audition out there as early as possible so that the window of opportunity is open for a while. The game takes advantage of three voice options for the player, with them being able to select to have Minimalistic Voicing (only voice acting used is what is needed for gameplay), 'Grumble' Voice Acting (groans, sighs, sobs, laughs, grrrs, etc), and 'Full' voice acting (all story cutscenes fully voiced). Voice work is a very valuable form of expression, as well as something that helps bring a character to life. 2D games, especially 2D horror games, aren't especially known for full voice acting, and as such I am taking it all very seriously. I do have a lot of experience with working with vocal actors, and for anyone who gets on-board with the project I am more than willing to communicate and work with you to get the most impact out of your voice for the specific scenes.
I can answer any concerns or questions either here or via email.
The deadline is September 30th, 2013, and all auditions should be sent to [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] . Will critique on request. The work is paid work, though with a humble price-tag (we're working on a low budget) going for $50 for a main character, $20 for a Other Character, and $10 for a Monster. If you audition, please be responsive and know I will be working with a strict but reasonable deadline as our goal is to release the game in December. The auditions are being held in three different places, and the final stats will be posted on October 1st on all of the,
IMPORTANT NOTE: Not all Other Characters and Monsters are currently listed, the entire cast will be available in July.
Details & Rules
-Send your auditions to [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
-Deadline is September 30th, 2013.
-I will leave critique on anyone who asks for it, and you may resubmit as long as it's before the deadline.

-There are two audio tracks for the game, one that is fully voiced and one that is limited to 'grunt' noises (sighs, sobs, grrs, etc). We'll be doing both of them.

An outward ice queen, Kiara keeps closely knit with a small number of acquaintances that she is familiar with.

But she does have a strong sense of justice and kindness deep down for those who she considers to be a friend.

Age: 16
Gender: Female
A energetic and sociable youth, Olivia is an outgoing tomboy who alternates from being the playful center of attention, and the perverted onlooker to her close mates.

Kiara and Olivia have been best friends since they were kids, and it is rare to see one without the other.
Voice & Needs: Bubbly and a habit to laugh to herself, Olivia sometimes breaks into silly voices, though also has moments of calming things down and comforting those around her. She will need to express pain verbally.

Melody:
Age: 17
Gender: Female
An extravagant drama-queen with dreams to one day make it big in the city, Melody isn't all-too pleased with the current country life she lives.

Dean:
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Who can only be described as a hick and a southern gentlemen, Dean is a rather hot-headed and direct individual who has a sort of food fetish.

While his rowdiness can make him seem wild, he actually is quite good at following orders, and always has a place in his heart to help a fair maiden.

Age: 17
Gender: Male
An elected class official and tutor, Peter spends a lot of his time observing and helping others. He has a deep fascination with the occult, which doesn't always mix well with his rather dark sense of humor. He strives for win-win situations with his peers, and has a naturally soothing presence. His optimistic attitude makes him a valued friend to many. He is often mistaken to be rather intelligent thanks to his glasses and posture, but he is actually rather ditzy.

Dean:
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Who can only be described as a hick and a southern gentlemen, Dean is a rather hot-headed and direct individual who has a sort of food fetish. He might be a bit slow-witted when it comes to the understanding, but he’s quite quick on the uptake. While his rowdiness can make him seem wild, he actually is quite good at following orders, and always has a place in his heart to help a fair maiden.
Voice & Needs: A southern accent, and can easily switch between buddy-buddy laughing and having a good-time, to hot-headed and gruff. Will need to sound in pain, and scared.

Peter:
Age: 17
Gender: Male
An elected class official and tutor, Peter spends a lot of his time observing and helping others. He has a deep fascination with the occult, which doesn't always mix well with his rather dark sense of humor. He strives for win-win situations with his peers, and has a naturally soothing presence. His optimistic attitude makes him a valued friend to many. He is often mistaken to be rather intelligent thanks to his glasses and posture, but he is actually rather ditzy.
Voice & Needs: A relaxed and soothing voice. Usually talks in a matter-of-fact type of way, but naturally emotes a kind tenderness with his voice. Will need to sound strained down the line.
Lines:
01.) *chuckling and pleasant* "Oh my, no that's not quite how it's done, but very creative."
02.) *matter-of-factly* "The Laddler Estate was founded in the early 1900s, after settler's gathered to establish Coble Town in 1908."
03.) *With extra tender* "Oh, I apologize. I didn't mean to upset you."
04.) *deviously* "Or maybe you might just burst a vein, and call all of the forest critters forth to feast on your decaying flesh."
05.) *delighted* "Ohaha! Oh! That was a good one! Oh! You are a funny guy."
06.) *Strained and difficulty speaking* "You're.... You're just as lovely today... As you were... Yesterday..."
