I’ve been busy with work, and I went to NYCC this year, but apart from some overtime for the next few weeks, I am back to my semi-regular schedule. What does this mean? Hopefully that we can get ourselves an Alistair and start Ch. 1 practice/recordings~

So.... I was having trouble dealing with life and depression. Then I got anxiety for the last 3 weeks about coming back on because I’d been out so long. I feel awful, but the depressive spell has basically ended. I am still acclimating to a new job, so until I move in a month, it will still be a bit sparse here on updates.

The news I can give you right now, however, is that Olivia, Fiona, Leliana, Isabella, Morrigan, and Luana have all been cast officially. We are getting a little extra feminine-voice interest, so it’s sort of, kind of, maybe possible that there will be small reshuffles of the secondary characters. I’d like to give everyone the biggest part possible, equal time and all that, but that may not be a certainty with all you lovelies.

Forgive me for my hiatus! I’m going to try to be more centered on here and deal with my issues as they come. I’m hoping to update the authors if I can’t get myself to come on here, so that they might give you some clue as to what’s happening.

Hey all! Sorry I’m slow. This post is to give a general list and description of the voices we need! If you would like to audition: pick your top 3 characters, say hello and give us a name to know you by (it can be fake or an internet name!) record yourself giving evidence to your vocal abilities, choose a passage or set of lines to read (from the story or elsewhere), and have fun! It would be preferable to have as clean a recording as possible, but we’re more interested in you right now! One person having multiple roles is a good possibility!

Some more notes here quick; if you can sound like the original character, awesome! If not, don’t stress! Do your best! Try one take as an impression and one as your own voice! This is all for fun so anything will be amazing! Too many exclamation points maybe!!

Olivia: Leading Lady - independent, young, likely PTSD, spirited, strong, flirty, cares (too) deeply, cocky

Alistair: Main Male - goofy, loves puns and terrible jokes, young, often easily distracted, uses humor to distract from problems, terribly awkward in certain social situations

Cullen: Partner to Alistair - Grumpy, PTSD, recovering lyrium addict, practically a luddite

Luana: Elven lawyer - light, foreign, sweet-mannered, one of those people you would not want to see the dark side of

Leliana: Co-worker and best friend to Liv - mischievous, foreign, graceful, looks like a cinnamon roll but could actually kill you

Dorian: Friend and confidante to all - foreign, self-assured, confident, almost aloof, charming

Morrigan: Owner of The Crossroads - strong, doesn’t much care for people, highly intelligent, sounds like she has more knowledge than anyone else could know and is keeping it to herself, often speaks with contempt

Fergus: Brother to Liv - newly burdened with responsibility of his family’s estate, loving, not as confident as he sounds

The Iron Bull: Private eye - deep voice, gravelly, sounds relaxed and nonchalant with the world he’s a part of (gruesome as it is)

Oriana: Wife of Fergus - a modern noble lady, organized, respectable

Oren: Son of Fergus and Oriana - young boy, content, spirited

Duncan: Adopted father to Alistair - elder man, ill, very worldly, intelligent, kind

Zevran: Friend to Alistair - highly confident, foreign, playboy-esque, charming, heavy flirt, sinnamon roll

Isabela: Mysterious friend to everyone - smooth voice, flirty, charming, sly

Cassandra: Department head - leader, foreign, cautious, strict

Blackwall: Fellow detective - deeper voice, almost secretive, (personally reminds me of Nick Offerman)

I have reliable internet again! I will do my best to be on daily from here on out, but my sister has all but forced me into helping her move across the country in two weeks. So.

The audition process is still ongoing! The first call-backs have been scheduled, so we will have to cross (hopefully many) characters off the availability list. Keep an eye out to see if your first choice gets removed.

To those of you who have turned in an audition! I will be replying on Sunday or Monday as well so we can set up a call-back. Think about whether you’d rather it be live or prerecorded so we can plan for that, too!

As for the rest of you, we still have lots of parts available!! Everyone is going to be cast I promise! You may not get your first choice character, but we want the best experience possible for as many people as possible!

Hi! I wanted to mention some things here before we get in over our heads:

1. I am one person working on this with the help of the authors of Heart-Eyes Emoji

2. We’re looking at getting people who can be close to the original voices to play those roles

3. This is completely a volunteer project, and it will take time

4. Helpful criticism is good!

5. If you would like to voice some of the characters (possibly multiple), you will need to be able to give me a clear recording. No background sounds!

6. Additional volunteers are extremely welcome!

7. Fans are welcome!

8. If you are cast, I want to do some voice only rehearsals, either individually or with other cast members. It can be as anonymous as you like!

9. Time zones will hopefully not matter!

10. You guys should pester me constantly about working on this!

Other than that, I have a character list underway, and I want to be able to put out a casting call by May 1st. Please ask any questions you want! They may help us with things we may not have thought about!
