View Full Version : Tales of the Bane - MAIN CHARACTER VA NEEDED


Midnight Feathers
03-25-2007, 05:16 PM
Hello, all. I've been working on this production for a few months, but I just started casting for VA roles. I'm not planning on making a fanfilm YET - mainly due to technology constraints on my part - but since it's an original "Tales of" production, I'd like to make skits for each chapter.

Anyway, at the moment, I'm only casting for FIVE characters - two females and three males. I might add more characters as time goes along.

I'm not setting up a deadline just yet - I want to get as many auditions as I can. :D Anyway, here's some info on the story and the characters I'll be casting:

Tales of the Bane
Find the Bane...and recreate the future.

The Bane. Supposedly the key to solving the world's problems. The fountain of youth, the source of all power. Anyone who obtains it also gains whatever they desire.

At the fatal price of that which they cherish most.

The year is 3752, Aeli Calendar. The world is war-torn, and the land itself is beginning to perish as the six races are embroiled in a bloody war that is said to last for eons to come.

To many, it has become known as the Aeon of the Shadow. It is said that the ongoing war will never end, and the different races and classes will continue to clash until the end of time.

But, the Foreseers have begun to tell tales of five young men and women who will put an end to the war and will bring prosperity to their land. It is said that someone who is a traitor to their people will lead these chosen few.
Hardly any people believe their stories and see no end to the fighting. But as the battles continue on the plains of war, a young Priestess-Warrior leaves her homeland and travels to the Blessed Lion's Kingdom to the east...



Major Voices (UPDATED):

Azure Darkrain
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Race: Human (?)
Occupation: Thief
Weapon: Bow and arrows / Limited healing
Class: Archer
Banist Skill: Darkness Defeat
Azure is a petty thief hailing from Masdale, a town known for its reputation amongst assassins. His background is shrouded in mystery, although it is known that he despises his father and was raised by his single mother. He is somewhat sarcastic, a fault that tends to get him in trouble with both the law and those around him. Young, handsome, and always moving with flair, Azure is found amicable by those around him and is difficult to hate.

"I feel guilty for what I've done, but I don't regret it. I'll accompany you until I've seen this through."

VA preferences: Not too deep or rough.

Voroth Malignfang
Race: Dragonling
Voroth is a general of the army of Darfeld. He an aggressive and heartless warrior, always killing without mercy. One of his main goals is to usurp the power of the Bane and become a powerful ruler. He is against the humans and elves, though sides with dark elves and the Opposition because he believes that they hold the upper hand in the war.
“The Bane, huh? I’d like to get my hands on that sort of power.”
Rough and deep, but not too rough. Male.

Septimus Blackfeather
Race: Half-elf
Occupation: Warrior
Septimus – Christos’s younger brother by one year – is an elite warrior of Covgard forces. After the people of Orthedon learned of his dark elven blood, he was exiled and went to live with his original father, the leader of the dark elf race. Septimus and his brother are bitter enemies, and they are constantly coming in contact throughout their campaigns.
“He’s lost his soul. He’s useless, so why bother continuing?”
He’s 18, so somewhat young.

Feseli Battletear
Race: Fel
The young general of the Fel army, Feseli is level-headed and carefully analyzes each situation. After Cali’s parents passed away, he helped get her back on her feet. Because of this she admires him, though he is oblivious to her feelings. Like most Fel, he harbors hatred for the dark elves, who have repeatedly violated the sacred forests of Trefell.
“It’s nice, isn’t it? We take pride in the natural beauty of Ivengard.”
No specifications, but nothing too deep. Male.

The Bane – “Didn’t you trust her, and she stabbed you in the back? Why not return the favor?”
Once again, no specifications. Male.


Minor Voices (up to Part IX):

Male Guard 1: “Have you seen a silver-haired man pass by here? He’s hard to miss.”
Masdale Leader, Male: “You’ll be killed for your impudence. Why are you interfering with something that shouldn’t even matter to you?”
Ellisia: “Yes...but I just wish he wouldn’t put so many people in danger with his foolish ideas.”
Carsia Shadowstalk: “Despite all of this, I still can’t help but admire your actions. Despite your moral standing, you still defied the guards and attacked them. Tell me, why did you use the Bloodbane to defend two people whom you had never met before in your life?”

Midnight Feathers
04-12-2007, 10:50 PM
Several characters haven't been casted yet, and I'll be adding as I go along. There's still a chance to try out for some parts.

Xaxxon

Midnight Feathers

Cast list updated!

VAs of Seraphine and Azure, I'll be sending out your first scripts via email.

lionfayt
04-13-2007, 11:17 PM
yeah, sweet!

(well, hey, i'll confirm for Christos since it makes me feel better saying that i conrifm for the part)

Xaxxon
04-14-2007, 02:43 AM
Thx For The Casting ^_^

Midnight Feathers
04-16-2007, 10:57 PM
The new deadline for Feseli Battletear and Kraza Sinfog is FRIDAY, APRIL 20, 2007. Parts will be casted Saturday.

I am also in need of a narrator for a scene.

Midnight Feathers
04-21-2007, 05:51 PM
*DOUBLE POST*

Kraza and Feseli have been casted.

Also, if I have sent you a script, please get your auds in as soon as possible! The first skit is almost done.

lionfayt
04-21-2007, 06:48 PM
hmm...just to ask, was i supposed to get a script for the first skit? or do i come in later? (just wondering cuz i never recieved a script)

D_H_Flux
04-23-2007, 12:23 AM
Thank you for the casting! Looking forward to the scripts...

War292004

I will audition for the part as soon as I can locate the microphone. It... went away.

Midnight Feathers
04-23-2007, 06:23 PM
Lionfayt, your character doesn't come in until the second skit. I can't get started on it until Azure's VA sends in the clips for the first skit. :D

Narrator has been casted.

SakuraLee
04-23-2007, 07:16 PM
so my lines were okay then? ^^;

Midnight Feathers
04-26-2007, 08:15 PM
Yes, they were just fine! ^^

btw, since my parents have revoked my internet (I'm logging in from my school's library) I've had time to put together a new, unique script - it's a "gummi segment".

For those of you who aren't familiar with the Gummi DVDs in the Tales series, they're basically "skits" where characters from multiple Tales games come together and just talk about the games, anime, etc. The gummi segment I wrote is sort of similar, and will give me a chance to hear all the five main VAs together. I'm going to try to get the scripts sent out tomorrow - the VAs of Seraphine, Christos, Azure, Cali, and Kraza will all receive a copy.

I'm also going to be casting parts for more secondary characters.

Midnight Feathers
05-11-2007, 10:46 PM
Deadline is fast approaching, guys. So far SakuraLee has sent in, and Cali's VA responded - I just wanted to make sure that Kraza, Christos, and Azure's VAs have gotten the email with the script.

Midnight Feathers
05-31-2007, 11:40 PM
I've reopened the role for Azure Darkrain. Since Xaxxon seems to be busy, I need a backup.

The deadline for Azure's submissions is unset, but I'd like auditions sometime before June 9, 2007.

Pestilence and Carnage
06-01-2007, 02:33 AM
I'll try to audition.

Hideki
06-01-2007, 03:01 AM
Audition sent ^_^

Midnight Feathers
06-01-2007, 11:16 PM
I've changed Azure's lines, so they should be easier to recite. I've also clarified specifications.

The official deadline for Azure Darkrain auditions is Friday, June 8, 2007.

Metcannon
06-02-2007, 03:18 AM
Azuke's audition lines have have sent.

Midnight Feathers
06-04-2007, 01:56 AM
Just a quick reminder - This Friday is the deadline for Azure auditions. Cast list will be posted the following day.

I really regret that I can't post it sooner, but with Finals and whatnot approaching, I'm finding it difficult to get online as often as I'd like.

I'd also like to remind those auditoning for the part of Azure that they need to be able to voice-act for quite a while (not exactly long term, but you know what I mean). The issue I've had in the past is that people have been too busy to voice-act, or they just stop replying to emails all together. I need the new VA to be able to devote time to this project - the scripts are never long and will probably take about half and hour to complete... Or less.

Midnight Feathers
06-07-2007, 01:02 AM
Auditions for Azure Darkrain have been officially closed.

It has also come to my attention that I will need a backup VA for the character of Christos Blackfeather.

PLEASE send in auds for Christos by Wednesday, June 13, 2007. His lines and specifications are listed on the first page.

Hideki
06-09-2007, 08:54 PM
um... sorry, but did you ever CAST azure? :sweat

Midnight Feathers
06-10-2007, 03:25 AM
Oh yes, I did. ^^; I'm sorry, I forgot to update the cast list...

Also, we're recasting Christos Blackfeather.

And lastly... The first skit/radioplay has been completed and posted in Finished Works.

Midnight Feathers
07-13-2007, 02:59 AM
I found that I'm in need of an extra for an upcoming script. Here are the details...

High Priestess: “Her? A Priestess-Warrior of Berivel? Why, that girl looks too small and timid to even have the courage to scare a mouse away. If I didn’t know any better, I’d say she was a mouse herself!”

Sort of "motherly"...female.

SakuraLee
07-13-2007, 02:28 PM
ARGH!! I will get my lines in >< I can't get ANY privacy in my house but I will stay up past midnight tonight and get them recorded, sorry for the ridiculous lateness ><

Midnight Feathers
07-14-2007, 08:56 PM
@SakuraLee: It's all right.

I found out that since I'm radioplaying scenes from the actual TotB story, I will be needing extras soon. More information to be sent later.

Still need High Priestess auds~

Midnight Feathers
07-25-2007, 06:22 PM
I’ve finally decided that Tales of the Bane will be turned into a radioplay; there will be radioplays for each chapter/part instead of just Gummi Segments and Skits. So...I’ll need more VA help for this project. Lines and specifications are on the first post.


I’ll need many more minor voices as time goes on, but I’ll make a separate post when the time comes. If you want to try out for a major and minor part, feel free. But I’d like it if you altered your voice for the part, to make things less confusing within the radioplay... Ellisia and Carsia will be recurring characters later in the radioplay.

I can also cast people for multiple minor parts if they "throw their voices".

Aibrean
07-25-2007, 11:25 PM
Did I forget to send High Priestess auds?

Midnight Feathers
07-26-2007, 12:05 AM
No, I don't think I got them. . .

P3RFECT
07-26-2007, 12:23 AM
I believe I've sent, you get?

Midnight Feathers
07-27-2007, 12:40 AM
Who did you aud for?

P3RFECT
07-27-2007, 01:26 AM
Azure Darkrain

Midnight Feathers
07-27-2007, 02:04 AM
Yes, I recevied them.

Everyone, before auditioning for a character, PLEASE check the main post. I've been receiving a lot of auditions for characters who have already been casted as of late.

Priestess and High Priestess have been casted, but I have a list of new characters who need voices.

lionfayt
07-27-2007, 02:11 AM
hey midnight....maybe you should take of the audition lines for the characters already cast and bring them back if you need to recast them or something

Midnight Feathers
07-27-2007, 03:11 AM
Yeah, I just updated the front page so the new voices I need have bios, and the characters who already have VAs have been taken down.

Midnight Feathers
08-05-2007, 01:08 AM
The parts of Autumn Mistwing and Ellisia have been casted.

Zelahn
08-05-2007, 01:54 AM
Audition sent! Yay!

Midnight Feathers
08-05-2007, 10:44 PM
Audition received, thank you!

Two parts have been casted:

Autumn Misting - Smilingbomb
Ellisia - April Smith

Congrats!

We still need male VAs for some parts!

Midnight Feathers
08-20-2007, 10:12 PM
TotB is in NEED of a backup for the character Azure Darkrain. We're in the middle of the project, and his past VA has been too busy to provide the clips needed.

Information for the character is on the first page.
