Edit: For characters who have them, I'm replacing test lines with actual lines from the VN.
Talk into a mic and post your attempts! Each character in the visual novel game I'm making might have their own little voice-clips. The whole game may not be voice-acted(it's a very long game), but at the very least least they'll have little clips for various lines.
If you want to try, just copy the sample lines below and name who you're trying to act!
The Curious Hedgefox
Speedline: (Male, light, a lot of emotion - don't be afraid to yell!)
(Excited) "Great! Let's go!!"
(Puzzled) "... Huh. You're pretty weak, huh? ... Are you okay?"
(Worried) "Wrong way, that's the wrong way! You'll go deeper in!"
(Happy) "I'm Speedline the hedgefox!"
(Whiny) "Ehh? Come on, that's not fair."
Kikari: (Androgynous voice, generally considered to have a voice similar to Al from FMA)
(Relieved) "Honestly, I was worried when Speedline brought you in. We're lucky you didn't get a concussion."
(Apologetic) "If it helps you heal, then it's okay, right?"
(Concerned) "Are you okay? You kind of spaced out there."
(Sorrowful chuckle) "Besides... Robots are replacable."
Devic: (Male voice)
(Dismissive) "Devic."
(Deadpan/annoyed) "So you found a random naked guy, started ranting at him about demons, then dragged him here and shoved him into my face."
(Idly) "You know that by asking that guy you'll get a miniskirt or something, right?"
(Upset/flustered) "I'm not cuddly! What kind of messed up tastes do you have?!"
(Taunting) "So, what, did you come here by accident or are you an intergalactic stripper?"
Vortex: (Male voice, somewhat young/innocent, cruel, will require loud sounds like yelling and laughing)
(Downcast) "Father got a little mad at me."
(Downcast) "I don't like upsetting Father."
(Surprised) "It isn't normal, then?"
(Sadistic laughter)
(Playful) "Because he's my toy~"
(Gleeful) "I found you!"
(Curious/playful) "What is this?"
Irakik: (Male voice, proud, soft - sounds much like a patient saint)
(Disturbed/taken aback) "Why... Do you have no shame?"
(Neutral) "Were they by any chance dark haired, mocking teenagers?"
(Surprised) "... My name is Irakik."
(Pleasant) "I told you, your thieves have been punished."
(Angry) "How dare you!"
Gin: (Female, child, polite, shy)
(Cheerful) "It's nice to meet you, mister Birdie!"
(Worried) "T-That sounds painful... Are you okay...?"
(Distraught) "I-I'm sorry, mister!"
(Shy) "Ah, actually, they're for a friend of mine... He likes reading a lot, and they were giving these books away."
Spot: (Drunkard, should be reflected in voice)
(Cheerful) "It means how much people like you influences what will happen!"
(Amused) "Don't be stupid, how would I watch that?"
(Loud laughter)
(Cheerful) "So, what'cha gonna do now?"
(Surprised/puzzled) "... What? You can't stay here."
Characters without sample lines:
Cryo: (Ice elementalist, young, may be reflected in voice?)
Father: (Dark, cruel, controlling)
Water Copy: (Like Speedline but more hesitant and less excitable)
Note: There are often details about a particular person's voice or line that I forget to mention, so make sure to talk to me beforehand about any details you need regarding a certain line or voice!
For example, I imagine Kikari doing these little near-sigh exhales, trying to sound cheerful but his voice still clearly being sad, sounding resigned when talking about his own uselessness, etc.
Devic always being taunting even while idle but never devolving into giggles.
Vortex often having this playful tone, but also having a bit of a mopey "scolded child" voice for when he's sad somehow.
Irakik having a soft and calm/gentle tone of voice when speaking about pretty much anything, until he gets pissed off.
Gin being all shy and speaking sorta quietly to strangers.
Speedline having no indoors voice.
Etc... They're often things I don't notice that I've given them, but I notice if they aren't there in your performance. The delivery of the line is rather important.
If I think of anything else I'll put that up, too. Good luck!
