[EMERGENCY CASTING: THEO MAGATH NEEDED] Attack on Titan Season 4 Part 2 Manga Dub (Chapters 117 - End) *SPOILERS*
Project Overview
Spoilers for the Attack on Titan manga!
What is this?
A fan dub of the official Attack on Titan manga. Instead of dubbing the whole series from the beginning, we will start on chapter 117, all the way up till the end, chapter 139. Chapter 117 takes place right after the last episode of season 4, which is episode 16. We are dubbing the manga for fans who cannot wait until the next episodes are released, but don't get as much excitement from the manga. This dub will have immersive sound effects, dramatic music, and feature quality voices from talented voice actors to provide a unique reading experience.
------------------------------
Release in parts
We will be complete this project in parts. By splitting up the work it makes it easier to complete the rest of the manga. Part 1 will include chapters 117-124 (7 chapters). After those chapters have been finished and are ready to upload, work on part 2 will begin, which will include chapters 125-132 (8 chapters). Part 3, the final part, will include chapters 133-139 (7 chapters). However, each chapter in the manga will have its own video. There won't be a part 1 video that encompasses all 7 chapters. Each chapter will be released individually, but won't be released until all chapters in the part are finished and ready to upload. The roles listed on this casting call are for characters that show up in part 1. Part 2 and part 3 characters will have casting calls open when we're ready to move on. If you are cast, you will voice that character in part 2 and 3 if the character is present.
------------------------------
Requirements:
Technical requirements: Please ensure that your microphone is capable of recording your performance without picking up overwhelming background noises or excessive peaking/clipping. USB microphones are not recommended, but depending on your audio engineering knowledge and your recording environment we could accept your audition.
Acting requirements: Many of AOT's characters tend to emote HEAVILY- as such those roles will probably involve shouting or yelling and even a bit of cursing in some capacity at some time or another. If you cannot commit to the needs of a given role, please do not audition.
Discord requirement: Discord is required to join the official server for this project. This project will be doing live recording sessions, meaning that you and I (or another director) will be in a Discord voice channel to record most of your lines. This helps prevent lines coming in late and to also help improve the quality of acting.
Time requirement: This will be a lengthy project, so please be prepared to stay with us for as long as it takes to record lines. Our goal is to complete the rest of the manga before episode 17 is released next year, in January.
Knowledge of source material: Work on this project will be done with the assumption that you are somewhat knowledgeable of the source material. I don't want to have to explain in-depth about characters or plot points, but if you need refreshers you are welcome to ask or search on the wiki.
------------------------------
A few final notes:
- PLEASE DO NOT SLATE YOUR AUDITIONS
- For auditions, please provide at least 2 takes for each line. Showcase your acting skill by varying your line delivery.
- Voice references are in the description of most roles. It is not necessary to completely mimic the voice if you can't, but getting it close would be preferable. Remember, the most important factors I listen for are acting ability and sound quality.
- At the end of your audition, please provide some gasps and reaction sounds, such as ones in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZT604JWkxA&ab_channel=Whang%21 This will act as proof that you have read through this description.
- .wav files would be preferred, but if the file is too large when submitting, mp3 is fine.
- You may audition for as many roles as you like. Just because the role is very minor, please give it a shot! You can be cast for multiple roles!
- Comment on the project for any questions you have!
- Have fun and good luck!

It is very important you get his vocal texture down. I'm listening for deep and gruff voices.
[Tough love, yelling at Gabi, who he has not seen for a long time. Like a parent who is yelling at their kid for doing something stupid but is also happy and relieved they're safe] Dammit Braun! Who ordered you to enter enemy territory?! You can't make decisions on your own like this!
[Talking to himself] Who could've imagined it. The military's best artilleryman rising to become its highest ranking officer... how the Marleyan army has fallen. (MAR-lee-yen)
["Oh great, well isn't this just fantastic"-type of tone, annoyance, sarcasm, seriousness] ...He's here. The boy wonder.
I have yet to find a voice actor for Jean.

[Trying to be secretive, but failing] Don't say things like "outside the walls" in front of other people. (Sasha ignores him and talks about the walls) ...I told you not to say it!
[Frustration] I've been saying ever since we were trainees that this guy was dangerous... Eren is leading us all straight to hell. A real piece of shit, that guy. And that bastard... I envied him. Because he was so damn cool...
[In despair, lost and confused] I never thought... he would massacre humanity outside of the walls but... if humanity outside of the walls were to disappear, all of the grudges would disappear as well... our enemies who feared our continued existence would also all be crushed flat. In other words... this is... the result that those guys on the outside brought on themselves... there was... nothing we could do about it... right?
Reason for recast: Voice actress ghosted the project and left without notice.

[Worried about Falco] He's... still inside that building... he got some of Zeke's spinal fluid in his mouth. So they've locked him up... (Ch 117)
[Tearing up, feelings of regret, exhaustion] (Talking to herself) There were no devils... on this island... there were only people. Finally... I understand Reiner's feelings... We... these people that we had not even ever seen... all of them... we decided they were all devils. In the airship... I climbed and climbed... always the same thing... repeating always the same thing... | (now directing herself to Falco) I'm sorry, Falco... even though you understood... I dragged you into this... (Ch 118)
[Pride in talking about killing Sasha, talking to Nicolo] Yeah, I brought her down! I've only rid the world of a few devils so far, but I give you my word, our real revenge hasn't even started yet! Help is coming, and when the army gets here, these cowards will-

Cart Titan ENG voice reference: https://youtu.be/GaV24FWvg0A
When voicing the Cart Titan, if you do choose to edit the audio to make it sound distorted like in the reference, please also include your unedited audio.
Mandatory:
For your gasps and grunts at the end of your audition be sure to include sounds in her titan form such as: straining to carry a large weight on your back, or breath heaves as you leap from building to building.
[Please scream as if your hand has just been cut off. The more emotion the better. Bonus points if you full send it. Fake screaming, whisper screaming, or clipping your audio will not be accepted.]
[Walking on fours, Porco stumbles upon her. Sweet, innocent, soft] Hm? Oh, good morning Pock. Walking this way just feels more natural to me. Did I scare you? (Ch. 95)
[Cart Titan form, relaying information, very to-the-point. Talking about Falco.] He's being detained along with about 300 enemy soldiers who also drank the spinal fluid. About 500 other enemy soldiers are here now. Zeke seems to not be present. I am certain that the Founder's power is the ace up their sleeve though. (Ch. 117)
Reason for recast: Voice actor could not physically titan roar due to vocal limitations. If you audition, please understand that there will be quite a few titan screams and yells.
ENG voice reference: https://youtu.be/MSmQuHn8qvo?t=3
Mandatory:
Include titan vocal sounds at the end of the audition, such as grunts, roars, impacts from getting hit, pained yells, throwing punches, or whatever you think fits. If you're going to edit the audio to make it sound like in the anime, include the unedited audio as well.
[Take your time with the delivery and be dramatic. Confident, in his thoughts.] Eren... you're not a threat on your own. Give up already. We've all suffered enough. You've... suffered enough. This... is as far as you go. (Ch 117)
[Exhausted, out of breath, speaking to Gabi next to him] For some reason... my armor came off along with the fragments of the walls. At the same time the walls were destroyed... my armor... (Ch 124)
[Yelling, urgent, calling out to Porco, who is farther away from him] Wake up Porco! We're almost done! Muster up your strength! (Ch 119)
