This is a wonderful opportunity for those wanting more experience in exploration in characterization! These parts can be taken like any role you get around here, but if desired there is an opportunity for more.
Memoirs of the Mind~After Kingdom Hearts II, Sora, Kairi, and Riku attempt to live normal lives on the island, but soon are plunged into darkness. On their adventure, they'll discover what happens to the mind of one who becomes a Heartless. –Those are the people that I am currently holding auditions for!

As Dare to Dream Fantasy is producing an Audio Reading of Kingdom Hearts: Memoirs of the Mind (my fanfic that can be read here) there is the potential for side projects, skits and such and so I would like to cast the group of antagonists even though most of them won’t show up until later.
Brief Overview:
Just like becoming a Heartless creates a Nobody from the body and one who had a strong heart retains his form, there is the mind which becomes a Contramind and strong minds retain a humanoid form. A bunch of these Contramind have formed a seemingly wise organization called the Order of the Vinominen. Their goal is ultimately to be able to create their own worlds and own laws of physics and such. (Instead of Kingdom Hearts like Organization XIII, they’re trying to make their own) Red and Purple are the group’s colors.
The characters are from different cultures and have different values of what they think is right and the smart thing to do to get what they want. So there is a variety of accents and personalities that I need. I’ll mention what characterization I have of them so far (some are not so much yet, so the less said, the more leeway you have for personal interpretation), the race they’re based from, and the world that they’ll show up in. Leaders will have bigger parts, but that doesn’t mean the others can’t do more in extra projects out of the audio book reading.Standard recording procedures, no puffs, pops, peaks, please little to none bg noise.
Be clear, concise, and DICTION is your friend ^-^
--MP3 is preferred, WAV is also acceptable if mp3 is not an option
--Record ONE TRACK per character, please do not separate by lines
--Label tracks as “Charactername_YourUserName.mp3”
--Zip (NO RAR!) multiple files together, labeled “KHMindVino_YourUserName.zip”
--Email to
cartooncopscentral@hotmail.com
--Label e-mail KHMind—VAAUsername
--Somewhere mention how you feel about Skype Collaboration Parties (Skype not required, it’s okay to say you wouldn’t participate in them)
--Text file with personal info and/or mentioning a resume link in your email would be a friendly gesture on your part ^^

These are only the ones planned to show up in Memoirs of the Mind...but there may be more that we see in the side projects! Feel free to create and submit your own character to me! Audition with a monologue or any of the lines here in the characterized voice you would have for them along with mention in the email details about them. Or better yet, in the audition introduce yourself as that character! (I do have a naming system for them of sorts, so you don’t have to worry about a name, but just with the culture they’re based from and such ^^)
In Current Consideration
