PRODUCTION
There are certain things that go into an anime that I have yet to actually have. I would also like a composer for an OST. While I have ways to get both of these without having to search for anyone, it doesn't hurt to look for someone, despite how ambitious it might be to look for someone who will work for free.
Here is what I would be looking for:
- Composer
-Theme/End song singers
-Animator
If you are interested, I will be leaving these below so that you can leave your experience and criteria in your production audition.
You might be asking, "Am I qualified?"
Well, here are the rules!:
1. A good microphone/editing system/mic quality is required. If you can't audition with that quality but are able to obtain it some time soon, then please explain that in the audition.
2. You MUST be committed to the project. If you feel like you'll have anything conflicting with getting lines done, then don't audition. If something random and unexpected were to come up while doing the show, then you will be able to contact me and we can definitely work something out.
3. You must be agreeable enough to not cause drama in a group call/chat. You're definitely more than welcome to get acquainted and know one another (I'm hoping for this cast to become very close) just no "he said' "she said" spats. You will be kicked from the project.
4. Skype is a great and preferred way to keep in contact. I will be making a group chat for the cast members, so please make a skype if you don't have one already.
Other than that, there's nothing else to conflict, so you're more than welcome to come in and join us!
*Note: If I like your audition but you're not cast as a main part, I might pm you to come in as an extra some time.

Sample one of your work.
Sample two (optional)
Masao looks to be a young man of 23, but is actually an Angel who works on Earth to protect the life on it and keep things in order. Although this position in Heaven's ranks doesn't have a name, the Demons who mock them call them "Agents of Order" to counter their Havoc. Some have adopted it, others have pridefully ignored it. Masao is one of the latter. He used to be a boyfriend of Ayame's, and is shocked when he sees that she's associating with Demons now. Although he's Angelic, he's conniving and calculating. He has a dark secret he hopes nobody will ever find out. If they do, it can mean the end of his career.
Vocal range: Medium-high, Medium.
(He emerges from a smoky street. There was just a battle going on. He saves Hotaru and Ayame, and is shocked when he sees Ayame.) Ayame...is that you? It's been so long...(He glares at Hotaru) You! Have you captured her or something? Caught you right in the act, didn't I? (Ayame defends Hotaru.) Huh. Well, I'll be damned. Ayame, I always knew you were into the bad-boy type.
(It is revealed that an UNSPECIFIED character who was thought to be dead really isn't. He is explaining to them how this happened.) Despite him being a demon, I saw lying in the streets and thought: "hey, what would J-man do?" To a demon, I thought he'd probably exorcise him or put him in a pig so he can destroy himself or something like that. That's not my style. So, I decided I'd try to help. After all, he could have some pivotal information to help me, you know? Although he was a vegetable, he kind of grew on me. Like a mushroom. (-"Mushrooms aren't a vegetable.") You're missing the point here.
(To Ayame who is about to leave after hiding at his house for a while.) You really care about him, don't you? Never thought I'd see such a good bond between two people so different. You two be careful, okay? Try not to get into any more battles. I don't want to have to save your asses again.

Akihiko is the leader of Lucifer's Special Agents and is Lucifer's top ranked Demon General. He has a very methodical, calm approach to most things, and is very intelligent. Most people don't know what he's thinking half of the time since he's so inward with what he feels that he seems odd. He is very commanding and worthy of being a leader. He's against many of the underground workings of the government in Hell, including what most of the other Generals partake in. He is no-nonsense.
Vocal range: Low, Medium-low
(They are discussing what to do with one of the Demon Generals, Junichi, who has screwed up a lot recently.) Ichiro, my friend, why do you always seem so eager for bloodshed? Is your thirst not yet quenched with all of your soldiers out there dying? At any rate, killing Junichi will only prove to be useless. He's an ally and leads a decent amount of soldiers under his command. Despite his slight blunders, I think eventually he'll prove rather useful to us. He'll have to if it's his life he wants to keep. Surely others who are just as hot headed as our dear Ichiro here will catch up to his mistakes and use it to their advantage. Let's not forget where our trust lies. What you are all seeming to forget is that running such a big mass of demons on earth as well as an army here can be quite demanding. The Havoc department is the largest section right next to the army itself. You can't keep an eye on everything, there's only so much you can do. Even Lucifer has trouble guiding things pertaining to here, so that's why he has us. You know this.
(They are discussing a rebellion the other Demon Generals have been toying around with recently; he is explaining his disapproval.) Yes. I don't advocate any of your guys' actions or plotting when it comes to this. Your scheming is undermining our whole purpose. It's idealistic. ("But Lucifer hasn't done anything since the last treaty!") And can you blame him? It's tiring to command something of this size for so long. You all plan to just uproot all of his progress. ("We would be doing him a favor, anyway.") And would it be doing Hell a favor? Although you reside in the 9th sector, do not forget your place. We are not Lucifer. We are Generals who work under him. Try to show the least bit of respect.
Osamu is a 30-year-old seeming Agent of Havoc disguised as a Journalism teacher. He just so happens to be Ayame's journalism teacher and can be seen as "unfair" and "lazy" since he doesn't really seem to be doing his work at the college at all. Instead, he is far too busy working underground selling souls on the black market as well as working alongside Katsu.
Vocal range: Low, Medium-Low
Hello class. I'm glad to see that all of you were able to make it today in such short notice. Although for some of you, it was more short-notice than others, Miss Kimura. While I was away in the states, I wasn't able to grade your papers. Instead, I was working on a brand new, beautiful pop quiz for you all to take. It's more like a pop-test, with fifty questions and a mini-essay in the back. Any comments, questions, or concerns? (Yuki speaks up saying this is unfair and it's bullshit!) It doesn't matter how "bullshit" it is, Miss Mori. You made a decision to take this class. Don't like it? Drop out.
Junichi is a lowly Demon General who is seen as "stupid" and "bad at his job." Despite how much he screws up and how obedient and anxious he is, he commands his troops well and often wins many battles against the Angels. That is the only reason he is kept in the council of Lucifer's Special Agents. He gets the job done well enough.
Vocal range: Literally up to the actor's interpretation.
Ichiro, you know this isn't my place. I can't be telling you how to run your agents, just as I expect you not to tell me how to run my troops. I know you just want my opinion to be on your side, but I can't go against Aeptaua either. Not only will she have my head on a pike, but she'll find a way to kick me out of the council, too. You understand that, don't you?
Akihiro, I can no longer work under these conditions! (A: Conditions...?) (Junichi starts to get scared) I-I mean...yes! I can't! I mean, no! I can't! I mean...General, these meetings are stressful and taking away my time from being with my team. Can I request in being moved to another time? (Akihiro scares him by telling him a long and exaggerated "no".) N-n-never-mind, General! Yes, same time, can't wait to see you tomorrow!
Katsu looks to be about 26-years-old in human years, but is actually another demon. He's basically the surface antagonist of the show. He is the murderer of multiple young women with corrupt souls. He gives the souls to someone he is working for. Their mission is to overthrow Lucifer, the leader of Hell, so that they can become powerful new leaders that are more efficient. Katsu used to be a Demon General before the plan was set into motion and he was sent to Earth to take corrupt souls. He basically volunteered for the job due to his deep hatred for humans. He enjoys teasing them before their deaths, and can be seen as a little insane from a third-person standpoint. He is calculating, careful, a little crazy, and mysterious.
Vocal range: Medium-low, Medium
A good "evil" laugh would be awesome,
Now, aren't you a lovely one? Just like the last one...you remember her, right? Because I remember smelling you there. (The typical "You're crazy!!") I'm crazy? Well, a warm welcome to the club, then. I'm not the only one who's hurt other people. Who was it? What was it you did? Murder? Mame? Steal? It was murder, wasn't it? Mm, yes, a little one like you murdering someone. How delicious!
(Katsu is inside a victim's car and is told to get out.) Why? Am I not allowed a free ride? Your driver seemed to think it was a great idea. (He gets shot but the bullets take no effect.) Oh, Mr. Morris, where are your manners? Take me to dinner first! Haven't you ever heard shooting on your first date is...a sin? Well, at any rate, enough chit-chat for now.
(Hotaru challenges him to fight.) You want to fight me! Oh really? And who's saying so? Some little Agent of Havoc who thinks he can beat me? Are you serious? Me against you? You'll be the easiest thing I've fought in years. (He gets out his weapon.) Won't this be fun?
I might cast multiple people for different songs.
Introduce yourself! Tell me your experience and etc.
Sing something showcasing your range.
Sing something punk-rock if you can.
Ayame is a 21-year-old journalist who has had a pretty rough life. When she was young, her mother had many abusive boyfriends. One, specifically, was not only emotionally abusive but physical as well. Ayame felt fed up one night and killed her mother's boyfriend while he was beating her mother using his own gun he kept in the house. She was only seven years old at the time. Her mother, already a druggie, became detached and killed herself. Ayame was sent to live with a distant Uncle after coming home from reformatory and therapy and hearing the dreadful news. She has grown up to be a strong, independent young woman who won't take shit from anybody (especially a guy.) She's used to chasing down the "big stories" and being in the face of danger much to the distress of the cops who are annoyed with her to no end. When she is nearly ran over by Hotaru while running across the street chasing a suspect for a local investigation, she is amazed by not only his tenacity and air of mystery, but also his attitude and "stupidity." She becomes enamored with him and the other strange things she sees, writing personal stories about them. She is kind, brave, daring, snarky, and her own person entirely. She has no weapon except for her gun and her intellect.
Vocal range: Medium-high, Medium.
She is very vocal about her opinions and scream-y.
(Narration) It is not in ourselves that we should seek resolution. The only way we can know the truth is if we go out into the world and find that truth we desire. There's no ethereal being to sit there and graciously spoon-feed us answers. Work hard and you shall find. Don't waste your time with tears and dreams and magic. There is nothing other than this dismal life, this world we people have ruined and turned into a useless, savage dimension with no future. There is nothing beyond our existence. This is what I believed to be true for most of my entire life.
(Ayame's thoughts as she's walking home. She slowly becomes more creeped out as she thinks.) Ako worries too much. I'll be fine, right? But then again...maybe she's right. I mean, someone could possibly kill me if they wanted to. It's not like I really know how to defend myself. I took one martial arts class when I was in high school. I'd put up a good fight, but I don't know...maybe I should start carrying around something for self defense, like a knife or...? (She hears rustling.) Oh god, what is that? This place is usually deserted. Maybe it's nothing. (She hears it again and slowly approaches it.) Hello...? (A cat jumps out at her and she screams.) (She is embarrassed/angry that Hotaru, who she has never met, just saw her get scared by a cat.) I'm sorry, did I ask for your opinion?! Well, I didn't expect it to be there, anyway. I thought it was, I don't know, some crazy person or something. Anyway, I've never seen anyone hide so well in the shadows before. Is that a hobby or are you just naturally that creepy?
(Explaining to HOTARU, informative.) I've been looking for similar murders to the ones Katsu performed here: murders of girls who have committed crimes. I haven't found much, but I figured that if there was something recent, either it would be in the media or the police would be hiding it away. I asked my friend Ako to get some information for me.
