Hello and welcome to my casting call for CardCaptor Sakura Abridged.
What is the Project?
Abridging is the retelling of a story but a much shorter version, often with comedic elements in it. I will be the director, editor and also provide voices for Kero, Yukito and Fujitaka. The long term goal here is that eventually we will become a team and once we're in production I will actively encourage improvisation and at times will need your help and advise on characters, plot points and other elements of the story writing as we, and the project develops.
I want to pay homage to the original material but also give it a new spin and adapt it to my own vision of how the story would work, I want to make a quality show which is as accessible and enjoyable to as many people as possible, whether they are the nostalgia fans, die hard fans or just love abridged series'.
That said it is hugely important to remember this is love letter to the franchise and a chance to portray some great characters. So enjoy it!
What is Cardcaptor Sakura?
Sakura is the protagonist and main lead for this series. Feel free to give your own take on her or look for inspiration from one of the Dubs. If you feel the direction notes I left aren't clear enough you can look at episode one of the anime for reference or leave a comment.
It's worth noting at this point I don't care how you pronounce Sakura.
I am not apposed to mad liping with the audition but please make sure you get the lines below covered as well.
[Make it sound like you're reading from a book] My name is Sakura Kinomoto. I am ten years old. My favourite subjects are P.E. and music.
[Explaining and knowing you've messed up] Cards like this? Well I found the Windy card. Then there was a huge gust of wind. and the cards all blew away. *Nervous Laugh*
[Summoning your magic] Key which hides powers of the dark. Show your true power before me. I, Sakura, command you under contract. RELEASE!
Tomoyo is the best friend of Sakura and is key to Sakuras success in capturing all the Clow Cards. In the anime it is never openly stated what her feelings for Sakura are however this is an abridged series so she'll be much more forthcoming in this.
Feel free to give your own take on her or look for inspiration from one of the Dubs. If you feel the direction notes I left aren't clear enough you can look at episode one of the anime for reference or leave a comment.
I am not apposed to mad liping with the audition but please make sure you get the lines below covered as well.
[Suggestively] So he tossed you his white load?
[Excited and eager her idea goes ahead] I wish I had caught it on video. I just bought this new camera! Please let me film you next time!
[Angry and upset her special moment has been ruined] Don't ruin this moment for me Kero!
Toya is Sakuras sister and has an increasingly prominent role in the story as it goes on.
Feel free to give your own take on him or look for inspiration from one of the Dubs. If you feel the direction notes I left aren't clear enough you can look at episode one of the anime for reference or leave a comment.
I am not apposed to mad liping with the audition but please make sure you get the lines below covered as well.
[An uninterested tone with the intent to mock Sakura] Sounded like Godzilla was up there.
[Openly mocking Sakura] Ha! she's so short she couldn't even beat off one lousy robber.
[There's obviously a double meaning to this sentence] Well I don't usually have any nightmares in the Kitchen. *Grunt in pain while also trying to muffle it*
