A New EvAbridged! (pilot)
Project Overview
Hey there! Just to start this off, I'm Mark/Krimes! In the midst of quarantine I discovered CCC and have been enjoying my time here meeting people and working on a few projects, now having been apart of a few I'm 100% dedicated and interested in creating one myself! So here comes the spark, a couple days ago I found myself re-watching Evangelion via Netflix. I love the show and virtually everything about it is perfect, I found myself going down this odd rabbit hole of abridgements on youtube at the same time. Now my curiosity spiked and I searched for Eva to find only two, I can only say that's some bullocks and I'm ready to make it at least three!
As of right now this project is essentially a one shot, however if reception to this pilot is good, there is a huge possibility of a continuation which I would love to lead up and complete from the season to End of Evangelion but none of this is certain, so only a hand full of parts will be casted here, basically only the ones in episode one. I feel if the project failed to meet a substantial following it would be unfair to voice actors who would play characters later on for them to not be able to do their part (truly sorry to all those hoping they could audition for Asuka). A script is officially complete! It clocks in about 32 pages (yes you read that correct!) However the entire project has a lighting fast energy to it so if I'm correct the 32 pages should translate to about 19 or 22 minutes.
All I ask for in terms of auditioning is a decent to good sound microphone with little to no sound in the background. Make sure to act, vocal inflections are 100% wanted! No need to slate! This is going for comedy with some heartfelt/deeper moments here and there so make sure you can give a full variety.
If you can try 2 takes per line.
Must have Discord.
Due to the nature of dialogue and subject matter I recommend only people who are 17+ audition!
If you are interested in the project and or auditioning I will ask you to join the discord server! The link will be under this!
remember have fun and good luck!

Shinji is a notorious bitch, he runs away all the time and is prone to crying, here however he's getting a more reasonable edge. He always has the best in mind for others and he genuinely wants to better himself but the world and others will always beat down on him no matter what.
(on the phone, whinning) What do you mean you don't deliver during monster attacks!? It says here on the ad you offer end of the world delivery! I see an angel! I see tanks! I see helicopters! And I see a shit ton of collateral damage!, how does that not qualify as "The End of the World"!? (phone cuts off) H-hello? Hello? That bastard hung up on me!
(up to your interpretation on how this is delivered!) Umm here and there yeah. My therapist says I should try to reach out to him more. Yeah, Dad got him for me. Technically we're both supposed to go to the sessions but it's always just me. Oh, it's fine. he said the first step to growing is learning how to forgive. So I wanna try that and see how it goes. In all actuality, I'm looking forward to seeing him.
(offended/sounding like a little bitch) I'm not a little bitch! / I wish Linkin Park was my father!
*some yells/screams*
Misato is for lack of better phrase badass. She's never willing to give up and never goes down without a fight. She's free and brash but deeply flawed.
(singing along to Waka Flacka Flames, "Hard in Da Paint") GOT A MAIN BITCH! GOT A MISTRESS! A COUPLE GIRLFRIENDS! IM SO HOOD RICH! KEEP MY DICK HARD- (phone call comes in) Dammit! We were just getting to the good part!
(up to your interpretation on how its delivered) "I'm not like all the other kids my age, I'm so different! I'm so special!". Ugh. (pause) I remember being like that too. Let me tell you as an adult I look back at that version of me and just cringe. It's not worth it at your age to try and act so special. It's a waste of time and a waste of tears. ( Shinji: "what do you mean?") I mean nobody likes someone whos nose is up their own ass...
(nerve struck) I will END you old lady. / (not caring) How is this my problem?
Ritsuko is the head scientist at NERV, she's incredibly sarcastic and should sound condescending 100% of the time.
What took you so long to pick up? (unamused) You usually pick up in half a ring, so my question still stands. Were you yelling racial slurs again?
(pissed) Dropping a nuclear bomb wouldn't be a big deal... but they dropped two hundred seventy six nuclear bombs. TWO HUNDRED SEVENTY SIX! (pause) It's your problem because you didn't grab the asset in time and bring him back here when you were supposed to! So that the incompetent men here don't get any stupid fucking ideas.
(taking her anger out on shinji) Fuck your toy!
Both of you need to stop! (pause) Because neither of you right, it's a humanoid mech that is part machine and part organic lifeform! (Gendo : What is it then?) It's a shut the fuck up and listen to me! Shinji you must pilot the Eva!
Gendo is Shinji's father, he is also the commander of NERV. Have as much fun as you want with him! He's very loud and bombastic and overly idiotic, just go for it!
I have an idea! (Kozo : Does it involve possible billions in collateral damage?) Ha. Ha. Ha! Of course, it does! (Kozo : That idea being?) NUKE THE FUCKER!
NUKE HIM AGAIN!
AGAIN!
AGAIN!
DON'T STOP UNTIL ITS DEAD!
(tired/deflated) a-again... again... again
You see, all of you are incapable of making military actions, you (pointing at general 1) You're old, smelly, and can't remember shit. (pointing at general 2) You, You're cool and I like you but clearly you have a problem, I have a therapist I would love to recommend! AND you! (pointing at general 3) You're not even authorized to be here!
Boo-hoo, the world is ending. People are dying, this is bigger than us Shinji. Your problems with me can be solved later... probably... I don't know I might forget, but anyways. We need to stop the deaths of millions, and by we I mean you!
Kozo acts as a straight man to the insanity that is NERV, while he is second in command he is the more mature of the leaders.
I can give you twenty-five cents and a paper airplane. (Gendo : DEAL!) Anyways gentlemen I think we have more pressing matters to focus our attention on.
We are out of nukes.
I mean we are out of nukes!
(through his teeth) No. We as in the whole country of Japan. You managed to waste our countries fifty year stockpile of nuclear weaponry in two hours!
(showing genuine concern) Sir I say this respectfully. Maybe you should be attending those sessions with him.
Rei is another Eva pilot, she's cold and extremely deadpan.
Shinji... yoohooo. Over here! (pause) FORESHADOWING!
You are a boy right? Well grow a pair of balls so you can pump more testosterone into yourself cause right now you sound like a fucking bitch. You sound like a privileged little shit who does nothing but post about "power" and "class" and socialism and does absolutely nothing to make any actual change (Shinji : Well thats not true!) Oh I hope it isn't because right now, you know what you are acting like? A pussy.
If you're scared. I understand but so is every man, woman, and child... you are the only one who can give them hope. Do you understand what you must do, Shinji?
More a less extras, pick one you would like to audition for, all three have specific lines you can read!
G1 : (excited) Oh shit, how much did you win!?
G2 : What was the bet on?
G3: What did you say?
G1 : Oh, we are doing... something? (pause) Fine. We are doing... nothing.
G2 : We did it!
G3 : God bless nuclear technology that kills our planet arguably faster then the Angels ever will!
G1 : General 2, did I order Gendo to do those things?
G2 : Hmmm, I'm going to be one hundred percent honest with you all. (pause) I took a whole bunch of horse tranquilizers before I came here so currently I have absolutely no clue what's going on!
G3 : No I'm a general!
