Anime Abridged: Manaria Friends, Boogiepop, Asobi Asobase

Anime Abridged: Manaria Friends, Boogiepop, Asobi Asobase

Project Overview

March 4th: This project is being put on-hold.
No-one has been contacted yet. So no roles have been offered or assigned as of yet.
There is no ETA as of when things will resume.

**Most roles contain sexually explicit lines, very heavy sexual innuendo, swearing, etc. Email me if this is a problem**

Starting up my fourth/fifth/sixth anime abridgment projects. *The VA'ing period will be open from around March 8th-> end of March (more details once auditions end).

I'm looking for VA who can take on a multitude of roles across these concurrent projects. I'm aiming for ~10 minute videos, posted to youtube and potentially other sites. Scripts will be prepared and distributed via google docs (example). The more voicetypes and roles a VA can take, the better. The intent is for each VA to take on a full page of lines spanning the 3 projects. Expected time per VA: ~2 hours minimum (1-2 sittings). VA will have their names included within the credits of the video, and links to their pages/info as desired displayed in the description etc. Email me (cerbyo at gmail dot com), or post in the comments below any concerns, questions. Lines for all projects will be prepared for the same time. Anyone who auditions will be considered for every role of their gender-type. If you are unwilling to take on multiple roles, or want to stick to 1 abridgment, please relay this intent in the comments or via email. Just please note lines/offerings could be very limited. Similarly if you wish or are willing to take more lines than an even distribution would otherwise allow, please note so somewhere so I know, this would be very welcome as it would allow more legroom in the role distribution. Only the primary roles will be listed for audition, lesser roles will be splitup/assigned between those chosen in the manner aforementioned.

Requirements:

-an actual microphone (~snowball quality or better)

-usage of: viewing google docs (no signup or anything), one of the voip options (rabbit, ts, jitsu, riot, qtox, etc) (no skype/discord), email (preferably gmail for google drive)

-communication: check email regularly, notify me of any limitations or problems asap.

-commit the best you can and have fun!

Projects in Brief (*ideally looking for just 3 Female VA, 2 Male VA to cover all roles):

1. Manaria Friends (5F/2M) :

Female: Grea, Anne, Lou, Hannah, Teacher

Male: Knight, Misc.

Synopsis: Slice of life story of a dragon/human halfbreed (Grea) and friends at a magical academy. Revolves around Grea's developing sexuality and her relationship with the MC Anne. All other characters function as supports for this main storyline.                                           

2. BoogiePop (1F/5M)

Female: Orihata

Male: Masaki, Imaginator, Red, Purple, Blue

Synopsis: MC Orihata wants to pursue a sexual relationship with a boy, any boy. However, she finds she is deemed sexually unattractive and therefore shunned from doing so. To compensate she commits to blackmailing her gayfriend, Masaki, into inviting her to an orgy with his other gay friends friday night...outside Revy's.

3. Asobi Asobase (4F, 2M)

Female: A (glasses), B (blonde), C (pigtaildark), Sis

Male: Teacher, boy

Synopsis: 3 girls make a club and play sexually explicit games in school. Focuses on the premise of friendship, adolescence, and development within a school environment.

If interested in VAing please post one or more auditions below. If you want to you may post everything in a singular recording, on any character, to save time.  Note I am mainly interested in the following:

a) The range of your voice (high/mid/low)

b) The quality of your recordings

c) The ability to believably voice multiple differing characters in a scene

d) Ability to sound natural and within the req'd age/personality (avoid sounding forced/synthetic, play to comfort zones if necessary)

I will use the information you leave in your recording(s), and whatever I find on your existing profile page, in other to judge these criteria and if you would be a good fit for the roles and character voices as desired. So please focus on showing parts of your voice you haven't showcased in past auditions, so long as they believably suit the age-groups and personality (highschool / young adult / adult; shy/calm/assertive etc). We'll finalize the voicetype for each character once you've been assigned and accepted the roles, rather than before.

I appreciate and review every audition given, but only those chosen will be contacted (likely not until the end of the audition deadline). Thank you!

You may also audition via BTVA:

Grea (shy, timid, passionate)
open
Unpaid

Emphasis the nervous/shyness of the character as well as you can. Displays of emotion are key for Grea. Pronounced: "Grey-a"

  • Well...it's how they coin what happened. *2 sec pause*  See, it happens 'sometimes' as dragon-born grow up...

  • (Extremely shy, meek, soft) Umm....have you never done this before?

  • Ah, it hurts! * ~3 secs of vocalized painful Moaning* =>  Make it stop!

Anne (affirmative, cheerful, smart yet sometimes clueless)
open
Unpaid

Your go-lucky, smart/capable yet somewhat clueless, MC. Top of the class, mvp, a born leader. However she is ignorant on certain things, and can come across as sounding stupid.

  • -Playing Detective-

    Then...it's an internal injury?.... But you checked every part of her body....
    So If it's not internal or external it's.....not an injury!

  • (Affirmative; emotional) We don't have time, Danggit!! Grea needs it (shout)=> NOW!! Procur one immediately, used or new, we can make it work!

  • (Screaming under her breath; haggard; ANGRY!) Gender equality is such bulloney!

Knight (Devout/honourable/light-perversion/sarcasm)
open
Unpaid

18 years old (he acts older than everyone else, so he can afford to sound older as well)

Suggested: standard deep male voice.

Serves as the bodyguard for Princess Anna. As such, he spends all day following her around. In terms of his backstory he looks and acts, in his mannerism, as your stereotypical loyal bodyguard. But many of his comments reek of sarcasm and basic pervy male desire. Doesn't show alot of his emotion outright due to his position, but when he's alone with the princess he's more open.

  • -Princess complains about doing all the fighting,  getting scratched and bruised, as knight follows walking behind her doing nothing but walking along-

    (Sarcastically; carefree) Only you know the way, princess, but rest assured my eyes and sword will guard your voluptuous curvy behind from the nonbelievers. (light-heartedly; jokingly) For blessed is the fruit of thy labours...and thy 'finer' infidelities...

  • -In response to an unreasonable request by the princess-

    I'm afraid this will take some time...we'll have to mail orde----  (<="order", but cutoff)

  • -Soliloquy; in his own mind; just finished watching a lesbian interaction-

    (Intrigued; contemplative) Is this a good job for an 18 year old? Am 'I' lucky? Should 'I' be celebrated as a martyr of man's Eggo-centric and ero-manical dreams? *2 second pause* I think so.

Orihata (soft-spoken, completely emotionless)
open
Unpaid

I almost want to say robotic, but her desired voice should be very soft and fluent/human. Note that there should be no emphasis on any single word more than the last. She feels/projects 0 emotion, everything is based on logic and calculation.

  • -You mistake a character's confusion for tongue-tied attraction-

     It's fine if you want to do me, just say so.

  • -A boy offers terms and you accept them-

     Mhm. That's okay. As long as I can go behind revy's with your friends and get rammed by them on friday night.


  • -Her reasoning as to why she hasn't been able to find a boyfriend-

    Flat. I'm too flat. I look like a boy, that's why I want to go behind the alley friday night behind revy's with you and the other 3 boys and have a fiveway with...

Masaki (stereotypical teen, hidden gay-side)
open
Unpaid

He's gay, but for the first 2 lines and when he's out in public he's a very generic sounding teenage boy. His gay talk takes on more of a loudmouthed/dumb sarcasm if anything else (third line).

  • -getting blackmailed by Orihata because she knows of his, socially unacceptable, sexual activities-

    WEll okay 'that' part.... 'kind of' is an issue.

  • -girl starts shouting his secret in  public-

    SHHSHHHSH oKAY, okay just calm down. Look if I do this...(changes mind; squinting; whispering)=> Just.. I don't have to touch you right? THere'll be 3 others after-all.....that's okay right?

  • -With other guy 'friends', retorts in response to a bad comedy sketch one of them outlines-

    Is that your comedy skit for friday? I have to say, It kinda 'blows' *snicker/laugh*

Red (aggressive, gay, emotional)
open
Unpaid

Stereotypical aggressive guy of the group. Happens to be gay, but he acts like any other generic tough-guy, deep emotional problems underlying the act.

  • Wait your turn 'boy'. He'll be full of dreams for your lala land to register with Oscar in a few minutes.... or do you want to recast your ballot?

  • They are different sized boobs, I ain't seen no guy with 2 sizes of boob.


  • -Discovers his friend tried to make him have sex with a girl disguised as a guy- 

    (Angry)  I knew it! He brought a girl! (teary-eyed/sobbing/upset) And to think.... I was gonna let you take me to the prom!

A (dark-humoured, lower/deeper voiced)
open
Unpaid

She is the more dark-humoured and serious of the trio. I'm Looking for a more deeper/low voice.

  • -Flashback to younger childhood, she's about 6 let's say-

    (Flat, deep, shivering, hormonal sounding; nervous, nerdy congested, voice breaking/crackling)
    I lost again...
    I'm so bad at this.
    Why is it always like this...

  • -another girl gets caught red-handed doing something bad, you make a wide-eyed remark about it-

    (Evil; insidious; cold) This is the reality of being caught red-handed.

  • -freaking out after one girl murders the other randomly- 

    OH MY GAWD!.... what... what HAVE YOU DONE???  What are we gonna do?!?!?! its only the first episode!!!! we'll never find anyone in time for next week!!!

B [any accents welcome] (dominant, picks on C, plays with others emotions)
open
Unpaid

Going for a dominant/dominatrix international exchange student vibe. Accents welcome, particularly european. More or less the bully of the group. Always tries to mess-with those around her in some way for the sake of amusement.
That said she often plays the fool of her own jokes just to pick fun at others. She'll act childish and vulnerable, while laying some kid of bait and trap.

  • (baby talk / condescending) Je ne comprende pas! Oui etre non?

    (Straight faced/serious/normal voice) It's a fact, google image it.  

    -cocks head to side- 

    (baby talk again) Oui Oui...?

  • -Walks up to new girl sitting at her desk-

    (nervous high pitched, intimidating) Helloooooo! (short pause, wide eyed, baby talk) Would you like to eat together....?

  • (teasing) You knoww....It's Hard to believe a German could be called father of the fertilizer industry for any other reason.

C (mid-ranged, subserviant but tries to assert herself, practical joker)
open
Unpaid

She is regularly taken advantage of by B. And generally takes the brunt of all the jokes and abuse dished out. She is a practical joker, and is often the one trying to make fun of a situation and trying to standup for herself. I'm Looking for a more mid-tier voice (probably).

  • I mean, just cause I happened to sit beside you in class doesn't mean I'm duty bound to be you're....*pauses*  (rethinks argument)

    .....just cause youuu happened to bring me waffles one morning doesn't mean I'm duty bound to be your slave.

  • (angry) The president is taking it seriously AND factually! 

    (voice lightens, gets aggressive, invigorated) You...you gonna touch that one champ? Cmon touch it. Touch it....

  • (crying; exhausted; shouting while depressed) LET ME OUT, LET ME OUT, LET ME OUT.....THIS IS NOT A DANCE....im beggggggingggg *sobbing*

Teacher (serious, easy-going, reflective/thoughtful, cannibal)
open
Unpaid

Accents welcome. Mid tier voice (probably), want to avoid super deep lowtype, but want to convey terror at times as well. Generic academically serious teacher, but seemingly nice/thoughtful/cheerful and meek. Happens to eat some of the students as his pastime as a cannibal, but all in all a very pleasant and peaceful middle-aged man.

  • -introduces self at front of classroom at start of  Parent teacher assistant meeting (PTA)-

    Hello everyone. My name is Philip. I teach at this school. Because you don't like paying taxes, I don't get paid money. But I've found a way to accommodate the needs of your brain's understanding of society with my own needs of living. So I can teach your kids, and you don't have to pay a penny.

  • -makes lame generic joke to student, but student doesn't laugh-

    That was a joke Olivia, you would have to be a milkwoman, or milkgirl, which is probably a totally different profession, something that is perhaps more to your liking?

  • -in office giving career advice to student-

    (serious, sighing, normal boring teacher speech) Please take your education seriously from now on, or I'll have to eat you.
