[LEAD ROLE RECAST] Aggretsuko: The Original Shorts Fandub
Project Overview
Introduction
Hello there! Welcome to my casting call for my fandub of the Aggretsuko original shorts! Before the Netflix series, Sanrio created 100 one-minute Aggretsuko shorts that aired on the Tokyo Broadcasting System TV station. These shorts were never dubbed outside of their native Japanese language, so I decided to take it upon myself to create a feature-length, English-dubbed presentation of the shorts. I cannot do this alone, so I need your help in making this dream a reality!
For those of you unfamiliar with the series: Aggretsuko follows the daily life of Retsuko, a 25-year old red panda accountant. Everyday she endures endless piles of work, demeaning bosses, and annoying co-workers. To cope with the stress, she secretly sings death metal at a local karaoke bar to vent out her anger. She doesn’t give up though, as she believes she will eventually find a way to get out of her predicament. After all, tomorrow is a new day!
This is a passion project based on an existing series. Because of this, I cannot provide payment. Please audition if you are seeking for experience only!
Requirements:- You must be at least 18 or older to audition.
- Microphone: I do not mind if you use a USB or XLR microphone as long as it’s good quality.
- Environment: I require a good recording environment with little to no background noise, humming, reverb, etc.
- Discord/Email: All project communication will be handled through Discord, so you will need to have a Discord account if casted for this project. Email will be used to submit lines.
- Ability to yell/raise your voice.
- There is cursing involved, so please be comfortable with that in mind.
- A positive, upbeat attitude with a drive to deliver quality lines on time!
A few final notes:1.) You are not required to imitate the characters’ voices from the official English Dub.
2.) [Anything in brackets like this down below is NOT to be read when you're auditioning for various parts- this text exists solely to give context to the lines you will be reading.]
3.) Please limit your audition takes to 2 per line.
4.) Please do not slate your auditions.

25, Scorpio, Blood Type A. Retsuko spends her time toiling away, while fighting to keep in check the pent-up frustration from the work her superiors give her and the idiocy of her colleagues. She channels her anger into singing heavy metal karaoke alone after work.
