Hello! Welcome to episode 2 of Black Bullet Abridged!
After finishing episode 1, I was anxious to get started on episode 2 after the workload. Regardless, as we speak, I'm putting the finishing touches on the script now.
So during this time, auditions for more characters will be held here! (Tell your friends)
Since this is an on-going series, several characters have already been casted.
Here's the list:
Rentaro Satomi - Sword of Swords
Enju Aihara - Jayden Levi
Captain Tadashima - burnenater
Kagetane Hiruko - C_Squint (myself)
Seitenshi - Animika
Kayo Senju - Souliasora
Infected Man and possibly future voices - MackinMeat
Please know that I will cast before the deadline if I feel like a voice actor fits the role well. So, audition ASAP.
Thank you for stopping by. NOW, here's the description from the first episode's casting call.
--------------------------------
This is an Abridged series that mixes both the plot and mild sadness of the anime, while poking fun at the series (and other series) occasionally and WILL be uploaded to YouTube.
I will be doing the editing, writing, and uploading on my channel.
As
this will be a planned series, I will add more roles when I reach
certain episodes. Until then, try your luck on multiple roles.
I recommend multiple takes on lines, especially if the roles require any shouting, laughing, etc.
Please use a decent mic and minimize your background noise, echo, etc.
Speak CLEARLY. Clarity over anything else.
As for the voices, I'm basing the series VERY LOOSELY on the Dub version of Black Bullet. If you have your own interpretation, then go for it. If you don't know where to start, start there.
NOTE: editing takes time, so please be patient on the result (I'm still obtaining an education so stick with me here).
Keep An Open Mind with the voices, script, etc. (Jokes may vary from being punny, to very awful, to very obscure, to crude/dirty)
If you're accepted, try to follow the script's lines,
but if you improvise or change anything, comment/highlight which line
you've changed and what you said instead (Google Drive).
I'll be using Discord as a means of communication, so please have that handy! It's better than Skype for group projects.
For voice, try to aim for the dub/sub voice (link below), but your own interpretation is fine too! I'll also be accepting "Teen" voices for her too!

Please be prepared for whatever comes as this character goes through a transition in the series.
For a quick background, Kisara is a college girl who's trained with a sword from a young age and comes from a big family. She and Rentaro are childhood friends, but she still treats him like crap, for the most part. Her parents died when she was young and thus, will be a large factor as to how she develops later in the series.
So.....have fun with that.
(I would have liked to included a crucial line for later in the series, but I'd hate to spoil things for new fans. So, be ready for a dark turn....as if I hadn't already said that a dozen times...)
(irritated) “So let me get this straight. Instead of getting paid for taking out the spider, you went and got discount…bean sprouts…”
"I swear to god Rentaro, one day I will cut you
in half…"
"Don’t remind me…college is so expensive…I
haven’t had a decent meal in so long…”
For voice, aim for the dub/sub voice (link below), but your own interpretation works too!

As for the character, you'll be making a LOT of sexual innuendos, so look forward to that. You may also break the 4th wall on occasion.
Dr. Sumire Muroto is a genius who had the brilliant idea to....wait I can't say that, it's a spoiler.
SO, she is considered the "greatest mind" in Japan and has been a guide for Rentaro since he was young.
(playfully/teasingly) “Of course. You know how I love hearing you scream.”
(playfully/teasingly) “It’s a shame. Corpses make such good cuddle buddies, but they don't make any noise..."
“But your “friend” was hardly salvageable. I WOULD
have liked to examine some of the major organs or the brain, but noooooo~. You just HAD to destroy the
whole thing."

If you're doing your own interpretation, try using a deeper, gruff voice.
Stereotypical Asshole, racist, douchebag, etc.
Shougen can be described as a powerhouse. Ranking at the top 1% of Civil Security officers worldwide, it's no wonder he's a total ass- I mean, arrogant.
“Sorry miss. This meeting is for Civil Security
officers only. Secretaries meet in the next room."
“Misogynistic?” (GASP) “A FEMINIST!”
(alert) Mr. Mikajima! (Mee-ka Gee-Ma)
(defeated/obedient) "Misogyny isn't allowed in the workplace...."
For voice, try to aim for this (Ascot man) from the "Slap on Titan" Court scene. (1:09 - 1:17)

If not that, try to go for a "hype man" type of voice. Or a character from the "Boondocks".
Very minor role, but with the right voice, it can stand out.
"Shougen! (Sho-Gen) (G like in "Gorillia")
What did I say about misogyny in the
workplace?"
"BITCH, STAND IN THE MOTHERFAHKIN CORNER!"
(yes, it's spelled that way for a reason)
"Oh….we’re fucked aren’t we?"
Try to aim for the dub/sub voice (link below), but your own interpretation works too! I'll also accept "Teen" voices for her.

Kohina, in basic terms, has a sword "fetish". Well, more like a "slice-and-dice fetish".
She has two sides to her. One side is more passive and reserved, and the other is more sword-brandishing/sword-swinging. So have fun with that.
Behaves similarly to a "Yandere".
Other than that, she's just your average little girl....who has a supervillain for a dad.
(polite) "Hello, I'm Kohina Hiruko. I hope I can slice-and-dice you later."
"Papa, can I slice-and-dice him?"
(Crazily and Happily) "SLICE AND DICE AND DICE AND SLICE!"
