Actually I Am Dub

Project Overview

This is a nonprofit abridged series of a 2015 rom-com anime called Actually I Am (In the US at least) by Eiji Masuda. The basic premise is Asahi (the main character) who can't keep a secret to save his life discovers that his crush is a vampire and has to keep this secret. Simple right? It spirals out of control after the first episode in a good way

Youtube randomly and recently recommended me the clip linked above, I gave it a chance and I was pleasantly surprised so since this anime doesn't have a season two or a dub cast, I thought "I'll just do it myself"

THIS CASTING CALL IS FOR THE FIRST 3 EPISODES THERE WILL BE A SECOND CASTING CALL FOR THE FOLLOWING EPISODES AND CHARACTERS

The main character Kuromine Asahi will be played by me

Welcome to Actually I Am Abridged I'd be glad to have you!

Requirements and Rules:

  • Preferably 18 years or older

  • Decent mic set up: There's only so much I can do when it comes to background noise so please try to reduce it as much as you can

  • Auditions with to much background noise will not be considered

  • This isn't mandatory but I recommend watching or reading some of the anime or manga so your at least familiar with the material and the characters

  • The actual show cherry picks stuff from the manga, but regardless there will be tweaks to the script so it won't be an exact one to one copy, but will still hold onto most the core aspects and ideas for the characters and story

If you have any questions or want to keep up to date on the series just leave a comment or messege me directly on the site

Latest Updates

  • Opening Another Role and Fan Dub Progress

    Hello again, just wanted to give an update regarding the dub on here.

    I'm practically finished, the only thing left being the music, which I halfway through. I'm planning on posting the completed episode by the end of the month, I'll trying doing a test screening with the cast to get second opinions, but that is the plan

    However I didn't realize that one of the characters Akari Koumoto was in this episode and did not cast her. So I'm opening the role now, as well as the extras role. I'm mainly looking for actresses at the moment for the extra's role.

    SECOND CASTING CALL WILL BEGIN MARCH 31

  • Reopening Kanade Okada Role

    I'm reopening the role of Kanade Okada due to the possibility of the actor being unavailable. In the possible case that the actor's availability opens up in the coming week anyone that auditions for this role will be an understudy until I'm certain that the previous actor can't make it

  • Small Update

    Hello just wanted to let all of you know that if you were casted for a role I've moved communication to discord so if you were casted, please check your messages as the link is posted there

    The plan is to finish and post the episode on Youtube, but I'll need to see how Youtube is going to react to it, but there shouldn't be to much of a problem

  • Auditioning For Characters, Opening/Closing Songs

    I have to say it's an honor to have over 100 talented people audition for this project, and I can't possible thank you enough, but I've started to notice something with the more recant auditions.

    If you audition for a character, take the notes and descriptions of the characters I've written into account, and give your rendition of the character.

    Please don't record a one to one copy the person who has the most listens, you can take inspiration, but make the character your own. It makes you more memorable.

    ____________________________________________

    In other news I've come up with an idea for the title of each episode being a song, along with the opening and/or closing song of each episode being that song

    Example: Episode 1 "What A Difference A Day Makes" and at the end of the episode when credits roll that song will play.

    I've opened another role for singing and placed the guidelines there if you're interested

  • Casting Date and Second Casting Call

    I just want to take a moment to thank everyone who auditioned. Having so much talent bringing these characters to life is so exciting!

    This update is to inform you that I will be casting the available roles after the holidays so January 2025. I have the first three episodes of the anime done regarding editing and sound design.

    I'll post the second round of characters for the following episodes by the end of January 2025

    If you have any questions you can leave a comment or send a message through the site.

    NOTE: I will not be using discord or the discord server I made right now, if you choose to send a request or have already joined the server please let me know through Casting Call Club, especially if your discord username is not known to me and please be professional

Role assigned to: sophji

Youko is half-vampire, and Asahi's crush, in this series I'll be tweaking her backstory a bit, and having her share the main protagonist with Asahi. She's cheerful, bubbly, innocent, naturally curious about the world, and while she's worried about her secret getting out she's more worried about Asahi who overstresses himself trying to keep her secret. She's clueless to Asahi's affection towards her, and will spend the entire series trying to figure out why Asahi cares for her so much, despite the answer being obvious to just about everyone.


The following are the changes and backstory I've added that will be referenced throughout the series: 

- Youko being a vampire means she can live far longer, but her brain takes longer to develop, making learning anything take twice as long as it would a normal human, which is why she's often referred to as dense, and will be used as a joke

- Her secret has been revealed before, but she faced extremely negative reactions from this, even from friends she considered close, so Asahi being okay with her being a vampire is a big deal to her

Voice description:
  • female adult
  • female teen
  • Starfire
  • Bubbly

  • (Youko was is stretching her wings after a long day, being relieved) "Nothing beats spreading my wings in an empty classroom" Asahi walks into the classroom "Heh?" (Youko slowly realizes that she's been caught, slowly building up to a scream before fully screaming

  • Surprisingly enough, most people freak out at the sight of the "real" me...and I was fine with that, I expected that...so this is new-scary for me too...Are you really not afraid of me?

  • (Youko is trying to encourage Asahi believing he has a crush on another girl, she's extremely overconfident in her abilities) Don't worry Asahi! Believe it or not, I'm pretty good at reading people...Nagisa may be cruel and cold, but there's a heart there somewhere, and I think you have a chance! I'M ROOTING FOR YOU!

Role assigned to: Rakumaroo

Nagisa is a tiny alien, spoilers. It hit me like a train when this was revealed. She constantly and consistently misunderstands Earth's culture and customs, and coming from a militaristic background, she takes almost everything seriously, acting stoic, cold, and a stickler for the rules. This is a mask she puts on to hide her loneliness, being the only one of her kind on Earth.

I changed Nagisa's backstory, she's stranded on Earth on her own, forced to improvise and hide out on this planet until she fixes her ship.

- What was supposed to be a simple scouting mission had turned into 5 year stay on an alien planet. Nagisa is on the brink of breaking down, but while her time on Earth hasn't been negative or really dangerous she only experiences life inside a robot, unable to feel anything, but the cold steel and metal insides of the robot, seeing the world through screens, avoiding relationships to maintain her cover.

- When Nagisa notices Asahi has a crush Youko she grows jealous despite rejecting Asahi before, like the the anime, only now she has more of a reason to be jealous as the main reason she did this is because it would never work being a tiny alien in a robot suit. Regardless, she'll try burying these feelings, but this will eat at her throughout the series.

Voice description:
  • Cold
  • Militaristic/Commanding

  • (Cold and straight to the point) Kuromine Asahi, I'll get straight to the point. If you wouldn't mind, I'd like you to stop staring at me. I know you don't mean anything weird or indecent by it, but regardless I'm (emphasize next two words) completely uninterested in you, and it's simply irrational of you to continue pursueing an uphill battle you have no chance of winning. (Lighten up, more warm comforting tone). It's best you move on immediately. Have a good day!

  • (Sad) I've lived the past 5 years behind steel walls and circuits. Screens and holograms lighting my days and nights. For 5 years I've lived this distant, half life, on this beautiful, chaotic planet, behind steel walls and circuits, with screens and holograms to keep me company. (Half-hearted laugh) All that for on little secret.

  • (Nagisa is angrily defending herself, very over the top) Wha-NO! Absolutely not! I hate him! Who would love a guy who goes straight to another girl a day after being rejected!?...(realizes she said this aloud in the school yard)...uh...sorry?

Role assigned to: Genevieve Moore

Mikan was Asahi's childhood friend supposedly, who also runs the school's newspaper, and has a pair of talking glasses...please stick with me. Mikan is pretty much a psychopath, enjoys picking on and bullying Asahi, taking genuine pleasure in his suffering, she's extremely over the top, but when something peaks her interests, she reels in and focuses on that, being the only one at the school to notice the weird things going on around it. She'll be a minor antagonist in the first couple episodes.

This character is a bit of a mess so here's what I added and changed about her character:

-  Mikan was Asahi's childhood friend, but when Asahi accidently spills an embarrassing secret of hers, she ended that friendship, and since then Mikan has made it her mission to make Asahi miserable. This gives her an actual believable reason for her behavior, and actions.

-  So Mikan has a pair of glasses that talk, so the glasses a possessed by a spirit who also takes pleasure in suffering Mikan causes, helping Mikan with her antics. Mikan despises the spirit, but can't bring herself to destroy the glasses since they were a gift from Asahi.

- Mikan no longer has a crush Asahi and will just be a friend

Voice description:
  • Psychotic
  • over the top
  • Playful tone
  • threatening

  • (Condescending, Psychotic, she has an enthusiastic, bubbly tone, it's clear she has ill-intentions) What's that about Asahi? He's actually asking someone out? Aw! Please tell me who, (sings the next two words) no lying (Mask falls off, sounds scary, frightening, evil) or I'll rip the truth out of your throats

  • (Evil Villain Monologue) Who do you think I am?..."Don't do it" means "I'll do it"..."It's a secret" means "I'll find out"...it's only a matter of how excruciating you want this to be!

  • Wha-HEY WAIT! YOU CAN RUN, BUT YOU CAN'T HIDE!

These are the handful of other background/extra characters with speaking lines in the show. There's not that many, I'll likely only take one actor and one actress to do these roles.

You'll be singing the outros for each episode. The first episode will likely be titled: What A Difference A Day Makes" Sung by Dinah Washington. You can sing this song, any sort of love/romantic song or just surprise me I just need to know if you can sing, and most of the songs I have in mind aren't too demanding

A high school teacher, alcoholic, who always sounds like she's tired of her job. Secretly she's a demon whose live for centuries who along with her young sister, works to make the school a safe place to learn for both humans, and any non-human students that find there way there.


Give a voice acting reel, and if you don't have one then just record one. If you can act then you'll be good for the role, this character has a lot of big, loud moments.


Changes:

I'm changing the context of Akari and (another character) Akane's dynamic, to that of a big sister-little sister relationship, constantly getting on each other's nerves
