Ask the Smash Cast - A Super Smash Bros. Q and A
Project Overview
Hello everyone! For those unaware, I am DonkeyDude. I run a YouTube channel under the same name, and I specialize in voice acting-related content. I entertain a growing audience of 28,000+ subscribers, and I'm best known for making a Q and A series known as "Ask the Tails Doll". Although this series has been cancelled for quite a while now, I'm interested in taking on a brand new online Q and A series. It will focus on the popular Nintendo fighting game franchise, Super Smash Bros.
What is Super Smash Bros. and why is it so important?
Super Smash Bros. is a series of crossover fighting video games published by Nintendo. It primarily features characters from their own franchises (such as Mario from Super Mario, or Link from The Legend of Zelda). The series was created by Masahiro Sakurai, who has directed every game in the series. It's a celebration of Nintendo's history and is a staple of the gaming community.
How will the production of this series work?
Well ideally, we are looking to cast the various characters in "waves" due to the immense size of the current character roster (as seen in the latest entry, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate). These characters listed are the primary 12 that will be used throughout the series, so bare in mind you will need to be extremely dedicated to your role if chosen. We are also interested in hiring artists to help with character renders, which will be used to portray the characters in various emotion types (like a visual novel style, if you will).
Anything else I should keep in mind when auditioning for this project?
The rules are as follows:
- 1. Be sure to have at least a decent quality microphone when auditioning for a voice role. I suggest having quality that can be worked with easily when editing/mixing (such as a blue snowball or something higher than most USB microphones).
- 2. Eliminate any background noise you may have in your recordings. It will come off as distracting. This includes air conditioners, family members in the background, construction, etc.
- 3. Please remember to do multiple takes when doing an audition. This will give me more of an idea of how well you can receive/execute voice direction.
- 4. If cast, you must have a way to be contacted. I will be setting up a discord server for the project in the near future, so I highly recommend having a discord account. This will especially help with sending your recordings, discussing direction, and showing episode progress.
- 5. Have fun! Don't treat this audition like it's your job, treat it like a hobby and go crazy!
Thanks so much for your interest in this project, and I wish you luck on your auditions!
