Jabberwock Island – once a popular tourist destination, this now uninhabited island remains oddly pristine. You and your classmates at the elite Hope's Peak Academy have been brought to this island by your super-cute teacher for a “lovey-dovey, heart-throbbing school trip.”.
Disclaimer/Spoiler Alert
Danganronpa: Distrust is intended formature audiencesonly. It involves blood/violence as well as profane/suggestive dialogue.It contains spoilers regarding the entire Danganronpa Franchise. If you are interested in auditioning.
What is it?
Danganronpa: Distrust is a fan project based on the same franchise that mimics the story-driven atmosphere of the orginal games.
The story takes place before the Killing School Semester and will focus on the Killing Game Rantaro Amami participated in prior to the one in Danganronpa V3. It will feature new characters and will reveal how Rantaro earned the title of 'Ultimate Survivor'. Keep in mind that while we are personally invested in making this series a reality, none of the people who have volunteered for this project have or will be paid. If you are interested in this project all I ask is that you spread the word so that fans far and wide will have an opportunity to create a one-of-a-kind, fanmade installment in the Danganronpa series.
Word Count
This project will be partially voiced.Like in the original games reusable sound bites will be used in between dialogue. Only trial segments and certain scenes will be full voiced. Also, while the amount of words per character varying depending on their screentime, expect no more than 2500 words each.
Important Info
The Casting Call Club for Danganronpa: Distrust will allow potential voice actors to audition for any and as many of the cast of characters as they like. The Audition will be open for one month and during the last week, roles will begin to close.
For each character they will be given three lines and will be judged on their quality and performance. They will also be judged on whether or not their voice fits the character and their vocal range if they choose to audition for multiple characters. For an example of the kind of quality voice acting we're looking for, this is the Introduction of Sora Shota, formerly played by the voice actor TunnelBurg.
No single participant will be cast as more than two characters, and that is assuming they meet the grading criteria for both of them. This is to preserve the element of fairness for this audition.
Also Voice Actors, Remember that you will be judged on whether or not your voice fits the character(s) that *you* audition for. Even if your voice fits another character you will not be cast for them if you don't audition for them (we don't want to force you into anything).
Rantaro, Tsumugi, and Monokuma are character that have been established in canon. As such many details regarding their personalities and character traits will be quoted directly from the Danganronpa Wiki. All quotes will be be in parentheses, italicized, and sourced
Grading Rubric
If you succeed in your audition(s) you will be notified via DM. The results of the Casting Call Club will be posted on my Youtube channel after the deadline has passed. I wish you all good luck, and may the best Voice Actor win.

ZEN・IN・AKU・DAMA (EVERY・ONE・BAD・PEOPLE)
The curtain will be raised for the criminals “AKUDAMA” in the new crime action!
Long ago, the world was torn because of a war between KANTO and KANSAI. KANSAI came under the rule of KANTO and became independently developed. However, the political power and the force of the police are declining which led to making a crime-infested area. These criminals are known as “AKUDA”.
The story takes place in a highly-developed but twisted society. In this society, AKUDAMAs try to live truly to themselves leading an authentic life. All the AKUDAMAs gather together, to fight for their aesthetics.
