SAPPHIRE --    HAS BEEN CAST

(FEMALE LEAD - appearing in all future episodes)

 

Lieutenant.  Head of security for P. Celestia.  Fully capable of kicking tail and taking down names... still she has a gentler, softer side that will be revealed as the series progresses.  We've got to believe her capable of great depth of emotion, as well as being a "cast-iron 'B'".

 

PERSONALITY:  Korra from "Korra" meets Laura Croft from "Tomb Raider"

 

AUDITION LINES:

 

 

SAPPHIRE                                                             Over the last several months, we’ve been receiving an                      increasing number of credible reports from around                          Equestria... that there is a movement leaning toward                       the formation of a representative government.                                                                                            What concerns me is that they don’t seem to be trying                      as hard anymore to hide their existence.                                      .    .    .                                                                                           (THIKNING)                                                                 I’ve never wanted to be anything other than what I am                      -- I love being a pegasus.                                                                                             ...Looks like this is the place.                                               (ALL BUSINESS NOW)                                               Don’t talk, don’t show any emotion.... You just keep                       that spell going, and follow my lead.

RACKSTRAW                                                                       (IN AN ORATORICAL VOICE BEFORE A HUGE CROWD)                                                   The ruling elite did exist in balance before... but                        now, with Princess Luna gone, you and we all fall under                    the whim of a single, dictatorial ruler!

How can we know what goes on in the mind of a pony who                     is not one of us! Celestia is an Alicorn!

I am not saying that Alicorns do not serve their                           purpose... but rather that we... we ourselves should be                    able to determine what is right, for ourselves!

I will definitely try to audition for all the male roles, seeing as female voices are the only thing I CAN'T do.

 

Anyway, I have been in MANY series on youtube, so I will definitely be a valuable asset!

[Mr. Changeling 132]

I am going to audition for rackstraw for sure. However, this being my first audition for a voice roll, I might not be the best

[Jalokim VA 31]

Well, I got it done, so give it a listen and please tell me what you think!

 

BTW, If these aren't good enough, I CAN improve upon them. I was leaning more towards the Exotic Street Vendor or Vizien.

[masterchaoss 27]

As director of this project am excited to see what you guys bring to this audition and just wanted to say break a leg. Again can't wait to hear what you guys can do!

[akalink 163]

I'm interested in this project. Its been sometime since I've done any voice acting. Sadly I won't be near my best recording equipment for two weeks. I can audition with some sub-par equipment (dynamic microphone without a pop filter or boom), but it will be messy. How long will you be holding auditions? ]

[Mr. Changeling 132]

I am sorry, I realized a major a factor in all of this. I dont have a microphone, or a laptop. Damn it, this looks really cool, but im going to have to take back what I said previously. Sorry

I'd like to have them done by the 1st, hopefully that be enough time but I can cast if your using some rough equipment. But if you can make sure to use the best equipment you have if you get casted. Edited June 30, 2013 by masterchaoss

[akalink 163]

I'd like to have them done by the 10th, hopefully that be enough time but I can cast if your using some rough equipment. But if you can make sure to use the best equipment you have if you get casted.

If I do get casted that would be a close call if life permits. (Dang jury duty!) for extra characters to post I will tell you I use a mxl 990 with an audio interface for recording.

[Eyb0ss 4]

Hold an Audition Spot for me xD I'm coming I promise! Having computer issues lately, but they'll be fixed soon

[Leavinh 313]

Well, I checked out the first episode and this seems really cool! I am definitely going to audition for Rackstraw and Vizier. This will be my first audition for...anything! So I am very nervouscited. 

[Throttlesky 20]

Hello! I'm new here (had to make an account to respond) and would like to express my interest for the role of Rackstraw. The only problem I really have is that I have a microphone but I don't know if it is up to par with what you want for your cast to use. You can be the judge on that when listening to the recording attached. Thank you for listening and hope to be working with you all.

P.S. Even if I don't get a part, I really like the story and will follow the series anyway. I've always been one to overthink Equestrian history.

 

 

[PnutFuzzy 20]

Oooo i wanna do audition for lady roles! I hope that I can do good ^3^ I'll give you some files in a day :3

EXOTIC STREET VENDOR --

 

Ah now this looks like something i can do, I do a great "Customer Support" impression.

 

CB - Will Post an Audio in due time.

[thatpizzapony 2]

I have two for "Vizier", because I had no idea whether he should have been nasal or stereo-typically "prim and proper fancy". So have two.

 

Note- I screwed up and save over the fancy version...

[BronyHaterSlayer 2]

Hello, I just recently made this account for this audition, so, here are my lines. I tried auditioning once for a reading, but I didn't get the part, so, I'll try again here! If I do get any parts, please contact me any day from Wednesday to saturday, I'm at my Dad's place all other days of the week and he doesn't have any internet. Thank you for your time and for this opportunity.

[Little Lizards 91]

Hi, I know that I'm relatively new to this site, and I saw the ad on Equestria Daily. I love to voice act and so I thought I would audition for all the available female roles. I'll upload them as soon as I possibly can. Thank you!

[masterchaoss 27]

um little problem you may want to upload you fancy version again its file for a youtube video right now so yeah you may want to get that fixed.

[thatpizzapony 2]

Huh, it's mp3 format for me. I'll get to it eventually.

Imma add pointless characters now

K, This version should work unless your computer cant read MP3s

now for some useless characters

Oh, and by the way, first time doing anything like this

-edit- this file was messed up too

Edited June 27, 2013 by thatpizzapony

[Traceur Brony 1]

I haven't had such a chance before as most applications are for mares! Finally someone needs a stallion. Here is one voice I thought could go well for Vizier, although it can be altered if needed. I also have a cold, so the final lines, if I am selected, would be clearer.

no it's not that it's not reading the mp3 its just that unless your audition is a rant about youtube you uploading the wrong file.

Crap, I think that one was meant for YouTube and I saved over the other one... I'll get a replacement tomorrow...

I'll delete the ones that are posted and hopefully...
