Ordeal - General Voice Direction

Ordeal is a dark, mature action-adventure inspired by classic shonen anime like Naruto, Bleach, and DBZ, but written “for adults.” Violence and gore are present not for shock value, but as meaningful turning points in the story. Characters feel the weight of death, and their voices must reflect that emotional realism.

Overall Tone

• Mature, grounded, and intense. Violence is brutal, life-changing, and the characters react to it with depth.
• Not cartoony or lighthearted. Voices must carry weight, consequence, and raw emotion.

Character Archetypes

• Muscular martial artists, hardened by lifelong training, now forced into war. Voices are deep, strong, raw - capable of both aggression and vulnerability, and at times barbaric, especially in battle.

Performance Notes

• Screams and Battle Cries: VAs must deliver powerful shouts during combat and when unleashing talents (a kind of special ability, think Goku’s iconic Kamehameha scream). The “yell” is as much a performance as dialogue.
• Emotional Beats: Characters should vocally struggle after traumatic moments (e.g., first kill, loss of a comrade). Use silence, hesitation, and broken tones to show shock and grief.
• Range: While strength is key, tenderness and humanity must shine through in quieter moments.

This is a story with many character arcs and layers. If you’d like to explore further to enrich your performance, please visit Ordeal Wiki.
