We are currently producing season one, and plan to abridge the other two seasons. We are also looking for people interested in working on editing, sound composition, and audio mixing. We also ask that only people 15+ audition as there are more mature theme's in the abridged. If you have any questions, feel free to email us and you can follow us on insta for updates @realnovaproductions
Apologies for the characters we couldn't find names for! We did our best with nicknames.
Side note: If a characters line isn't labeled with a tone, it's up to the voice actors discretion
We are Nova Productions and are excited to announce our first project; Avatar the Last Airbender: Abridged! The series you love, rewritten by people you don’t know, on a shoestring budget. We are casting multiple roles ranging from main characters to extra voices. We're also looking for people to help us with the video and voice editing.
Right now our main team is composed of Dani, our Director and Writer and me, Taisie! I'm your Casting Director, Assistant Writer, and Editor. Oh, I can't forget our furry assistants, Finn, and Bean! They're a very important part of the team.
This is our first abridged project, and we hope to be making others in the future, so look out for those casting calls! We have a few anime's in mind, but knowing our writer that list will grow. (Love you Dani <3) All updates on that will be posted in our discord server (which is coming soon!) , as well as on our Instagram.
BECOME ONE WITH SOKKA. In all seriousness, we're looking for someone who can emulate his tone well, the voice doesn't need to be exactly the same as the canonical show. Someone who can hit comedic beats well, and be able to still deliver slightly serious lines.
Serious line: |
Sarcastic: "I'm soaked in subzero arctic water, our village hasn't had food in days, but you have a POSITIVE attitude. So bring it on universe!" |
Daddy's little misogynist line (pre chugging respect woman juice): |
Zuko is very edgy and the posterboy of a moody teenager, aside from Mei.
"I’m going to find the avatar. I’m going to restore my honor. And I’m. going. To get. My. Daddy’s. Love!" |
"I spent my whole life trying to be the son my father wants, and now I am. He says I’m a hero! This was supposed to make me happy. Why am I not happy? (pause) Uncle please, talk to me! I’m depressed." |
"I understand now, fire isn’t just violence or destruction, it’s warmth, it’s life. It’s about how you wield it. I used to think it could only cause pain… but it’s so much more." |
We're looking for a voice that can embody the neighborhood grandpa, who ALSO committed war crimes. We want the voice to still have the warmth and security Iroh envokes. With all roles, it's okay if you don't sound exactly like the cannon, but we'd like it to be close still.
Wisdom Bomb: "The greatest gifts we can receive, are the ones you never knew you needed." |
*A small line of Iroh laughing heartily* |
Attempted deception: |
She's a very bitter yet charismatic character
"Thank you Katara for bringing the Avatar to our village, the memories of firebender destroying my homeland had nearly faded, but you brought them back." |
We want him to have a very deep voice, that has a scary edge to it.
*Appa noises* |
"If you touch him, I will hunt you down to the ends of the earth, crushing your skin beneath my mandy feet and feat oN YOUR LIVERS." |
A person who peaked in high school, but unfortunately is in a position of power. We want to be able to feel the douchebaggery chaos in his voice.
"You're a bitch Zuko, and bitches never get their daddy's love. How do you think MY" son feels." |
"Fuck the Avatar. Fuck your balance, and most certainly FUCK YOUR MOON FIIISSH!!!" |
Burnout vaguely helpful mentor.
"I didn't mention the cycle is destroyed if you die in the avatar state? Oh, my bad." *laughs* "Well, now you know so, try not to die okay? Now, goodbye Aang." |
"You are the avatar Aang, you have a duty to restore justice to this world and stop Ozai from destroying the other nations." |
In the future Momo may get lines, we'd like him to sound a bit like the voice he had in the series in the final season when Aang was hallucinating
We'd like you to make the noises Momo does in the series |
Upbeat, but has a penchant for violence, and enjoys it a little too much. Constantly making Sokka drink his daily dose of respect woman juice, and some more.
"A master warrior you say? Well I'm sure we can learn a lot from you, right girls? Go ahead Sokka, show us how a REAL warrior fights." |
"In my village, I'm different..." *pause* "Sokka, I'm not just a warrior I'm...I- I'm" *Whispers* "Heterosexual" |
He's a bit of a fuckboy, so a flirtatious and manipulative attitude is usually the way to go. He sounds very soft and heartfelt when he's manipulating others, i.e when he's easily pulling Katara and Anng in.
"Is it hot in here? Oh no; it's just the fire nation soldiers. Y'know, the ones I just killed ironically with fire." |
"Katara, the moment I saw you I knew you would understand our mission, and be easy to manipula- uh- help us achieve our goal!" |
Sincere:
|
Batshit crazy old man, when a concerning laugh.
"OOO, TYPICAL AIRBENDER, RUNNING AWAY FROM BATTLE! No wonder you're people died so easily" *crackles in laughter* |
"You have a looong, deadly, DANGEROUS mission ahead of you. One that may end in a...DELICIOUSLY high body count." |
A little ditzy, but has a very serene sweet attitude
*laughs* Sokka of the Southern Water Tribe, I would LOVE, to do an activity with you. Meet e at that ice bridge at dusk!" |
"This is the Northern Water Tribe's Spiritual pool of...spiritualness. Maybe Meditating here will help Anng reach the spirit...." *Pause to contemplate* "Wherever he's going." |
Laid back and acts like that one uncle everyone loves
"We got into our battle on the way to join Earth Kingdom forces, I got injured in the skirmish so they left me with the healing Nuns to nurse me back to health...I just wish I had known they were out of pain medicine before they started surgery" *shutters* |
Passionate rebellious teen, a bit of a himbo
"My father taught me how to Earthbend, now that the Fire Nation has taken him away, it's all I have left of him.." |
"The Fire Nation is a bunch of thugs, if my dad where here we'd do something about them. Together." |
He's a burnt out middle aged man, who's completely done with the war. His tone is bitter and tired typically.
"Look Katara, it must be nice to be young, full of youth, not broken down by years of relentless useless hard labor, but the rest of us? We’re just hoping to make it to the end of the war as empty shells of our former selves." |
"Have a nice swim Warden. Don’t worry, I heard bitches float." |
He's a bit of a simp for Avatar Roku, and easily excitable
"Please, I am not here to harm you Avatar Aang, I only wish to help you contact Avatar Roku." |
"We sages waited for the next avatar to arrive, we waited and waited, but he never came, we were devastated and abandoned. Then the Firelord came and said serve me or I will kill you where you stand… it was a very convincing argument." |
He's like a stereotypical pirate who has 11/10 killed someone before and is proud of it
"That waterbending scroll? We, ah, acquired it from a waterbender… made them a deal they couldn’t refuse. (laughs) if you know what I mean." |
"Death. I meant I was going to kill them." |
"Arrgh mateys, hand over the water scroll or you’ll be blown down (pause) I’m sorry, I wasn’t very clear, give me the scroll or my crew is going to gut you like fish." |
Kind, wise, sage character who was a loving guardian figure to Anng.
"Aang is a child, he’s not ready to be the avatar, he needs time to have fun or we will break him with his training." |
"The role of the avatar is filled with heavy responsibilities and decisions you’ll have to deal with in time, but for right now your only duty is to help me with these pies" |
He's a slightly blood thirsty village leader, who's exasperated with exasperated with people trying to pull him into the war
"Kyoshi island has followed the tradition of staying the fuck out of it ever since our great avatar made this island, and we’re not about to get into war because of some peasant children." |
"Ladies, fire nation soldiers are invading our island! Sharpen your fans, they will taste blood today!" |
Like her husband she is also a bit bitter and exasperated.
"Earthbending is dangerous, Haru! You know what the punishment is if the soldiers catch you." |
"Do you encourage every town you come across to carry out suicide revolts or are we special?" |
He's very cranky, and would trade anyone in for a lemon
"Someone please help me! I’m being crushed to death in a mine shaft!" |
"My spine is shattered, children please end my suffering, kill me quickly." |
He's very pessimistic, but still hopeful for his village
"The spirit realm and the human realm are separated by an invisible veil, and on the winter solstice, the veil will vanish and Hei Bai will probably stay and slaughter us all then." |
"Avatar we are so grateful for your arrival, our village is in desperate need of your help." |
He has a deep voice, and a very serious flat tone. He's that serious quite person who's warmhearted, and who's bodycount is unknown.
"Greetings Avatar and friends, it is an honor to meet you" |
"Smellerbee, do let the opinions of stranger impact your self-image" |
He's a fun loving oaf, has killed people but only as a consequence of his strength
"You think there’s something funny about my name? (pause) because I agree" |
"It’s okay Duke, we’ll see each other again, after the war is over." |
The Duke is a young naïve child
"Who are you calling tiny, baldie?!" |
"Jet won’t blowing up the reservoir to drown all the fire nation soldiers also drown… the villagers?" |
She's a person who's very angry at the world, she starts off morally grey before questioning Jet's brutal ways.
"Jet’s been fighting to liberate this valley ever since his village was burned and he’s always looked after us. If he needs us to destroy a village then he has his reasons." |
"Touch me again and I’ll liberate your fingers from your hand." |
We're looking for someone to help us edit audio. We have a base knowledge of what to do, but not enough to have a polished product. We also need help with mastering the lines over the video. This is our first abridge, so we're open to learning too and helping lighten the load!
Unsure how to input cadence, but it's per finished episode! We can't afford much, but in the future, we hope to be able to pay more!
Say something you think would fit |
We have beginner knowledge and are looking for someone to lead our video editing team. We're planning to help and have a supporting editor so the workload isn't too big. We'll need help with changing scenes to fit our lines, and doing things like adding bulging eyes, or cutting to characters when they don't in the show.
I wasn't sure how to input it, but we're paying per episode. We can't afford much right now, but hopefully, we'll be able to pay more in the future!

Same thing as the lead editor, you will get paid per episode!
