Cardcaptor Sakura: The Movie (FULL English FANDUB)
Project Overview
For the first time, experience the movie as it should be with the English fandub of the 1999 Japanese anime film, "Cardcaptor Sakura: The Movie"! The film shows Sakura Kinomoto and friends going to Hong Kong when they encounter a powerful spirit who was hurt by Clow Reed in the past.
The visuals, plot, and character names will be the same as the original release, but the voices and sound effects will be recreated with an alternative soundtrack. The project has zero budget and that this is for fun. If problems arise, I might take the project down.
WRITERS: You need a clear understanding of the series.
VOICE CAST: Watch the Japanese version of Cardcaptor Sakura and the movie to get a better understanding of the characters a bit more. You can find the stuff you need either on Crunchyroll, Netflix, or in your local library. The biggest recommendation I need from you is to get a microphone that'll work and will remove any background noise and popping sounds. (When you're chosen, don't record it right away. We'll be setting up recording sessions so that you can get your chance of recording the lines.)
Music Composers: I recommend you listen to the original soundtracks for the anime/movie to get a better understanding of the music needed.. I also recommend getting either FL Studio 32-bit, Ableton Live, or any DAW you're comfortable with.
A few things I also want to add:
1. Discord is required. It's easy to create your own Discord account if you're new to it. I'm opening the Discord up to anyone who wants to audition: https://discord.gg/aU4mXXCQcM. If you're not comfortable, I'm available on Twitter.
2. Recording Sessions may vary. Whenever time I have to participate in these sessions is the time and day I'll be available. (Life comes first)
That settles things for a while. So good luck to all and have fun!

Latest Updates
-
The auditions seem to be slowing down. We still need voices for Tomoyo, Kero, Meiling and Yelan Li, and Madoushi. If you have what it takes, please send in your auditions.

Proof of Concept
In order to demonstrate the capabilities of how this fandub would work, here's a test: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Gdlpz318DmERwMAOF9lC1-sLxUB6nTld/view?usp=sharing (If there's trouble in there, I'll find a way to remove it.) -
Clow Reed's been Cast!
Welcome Casca as the voice of Clow Reed! This was upvoted 13 times. Plus, he's a really good guy to be around with at times. That leaves 6 more characters for you to audition and more than likely a few crew spots open. RELEASE! -
Yukito's VA Filled!
Yukito has a voice! Even though there was one audition in, I think sakasajinel did an excellent job replicating his voice. But there's still more characters and crew members to be filled! -
Music Update
After looking at the 5.1 surround mix of the original, I realized it's going to be complicated to recreate the score. Now it's set to have an alternative inspired by the film's soundtrack.
Sakura is the main character of the series and movie. At the time of the movie's beginning, she has collected most of the Clow Cards and just got the Arrow card captured. She has a decent friendship between Tomoyo, Meiling, her somewhat-rival Syaoran, and Kero (the guardian of the Clow Cards).
Try to match the closest on how Sakura was originally portrayed by the original Japanese voice actress: Sakura Tange,
Introduce yourself and then introduce yourself as the character you're auditioning for:
(Taken straight from Episode 1)
(Cheerfully) I'm Sakura Kinomoto. I'm a 4th grader at Tomoeda Elementary and I love P.E. and home economics. (Troubled) I hate math.
(Panicked) Hoeeeeeeee! What should I do Kero-chan?!
(Realizes something) Oh! I got it!
RELEASE!
(Film quote taken from Ranker.com's Top 35+ Quotes from Cardcaptor Sakura)
(Sakura approaches Madoushi and gently speaks) You really loved Clow, didn't you? It hurts, doesn't it? It hurts to lose someone you love.
Tomoyo is Sakura's best friend who videotapes the adventures and builds battle costumes for her card captures. She's kind and one of the more popular in Sakura's elementary school for her singing. (Too bad we don't see it in the movie).
She needs to sound close to the original Japanese voice given to her by Junko Iwao.
Introduce yourself and the character you're auditioning for.
(admiring Sakura in a cute way) You are amazing Sakura-chan!
(Taken from the episode: Sakura and the Nameless Book)
Being able to spend time with someone I care about, having her wear cute clothing, and being able to record her on video. This is the epitome of bliss!
Kero's the guardian of the magical cards in the series, the powerful Clow Cards, created by Clow Reed. He picked Sakura after the cards came out of the book and had slept 30 years before the episode's beginnings. He loves food, and would do anything to get his paws into the delicacy. He cares for Sakura and appreciates her help in collecting the Clow Cards. When the gang won a trip to Hong Kong in the movie, he feels excited that he's returning home for a winter vacation, but feels a much powerful force could be behind it.
Kero needs to sound closer to how he was originally portrayed by Aya Hisakawa.
Introduce yourself and the character you're auditioning for.
(Eating) Man the food is still good! I love it! (swallows it down and sighs of delight) Sweet and satisfying. That's what I always say! Haha!
(Taken from Episode 1)
(Serious) Clow Cards. When unleashed, they will bring chaos to the world. They are special cards created by a magician named Clow Reed. Each one is alive and has its own special powers. They do as they please, and on top of that, ordinary people can't control them. That's why Clow made this book and put me, the guardian beast, on the cover.
Toya is Sakura's big brother who calls her a "kaiju"/"monster". Although on the outside he seems cocky, he secretly cares for his little sister, making sure she doesn't go into danger and will do anything to protect her. He likes to hang out with Yukito, and at the start of the film, is working a few shifts.
Toya is one of the few characters where he needs to sound close to both Tomokazu Seki and Tony Sampson (Cardcaptors: The Movie version).
Introduce yourself and the character you're auditioning for.
(Whispers to Sakura's ear) Sakura. Don't forget to take off the shoes before entering.
(Lines taken and edited from Ranker's Top 35+ Cardcaptor Sakura Quotes)
(A bit frustrated) Sakura's head is as hard as rock. (pause) (Then feels playful) But I'm really lucky to have a dinosaur for a little sister.
Yukito is Toya's best friend who goes to high school with him. He has a big appetite and would pile food on top of his plate. He is also the target to both Sakura and Syaoran's affections.
Yukito needs to sound the closest to how he was portrayed by Megumi Ogata.
Introduce yourself and the character you're auditioning for.
(Taken from Episode 8)
There are things called foretelling dreams. Actually I had a foretelling dream myself last night. In the dream, my breakfast was a roasted fish. And I really had fish for breakfast. I was so happy I had 6 more bowls of rice!
I'm excited that this is my first time being in Hong Kong as well.
Syaoran's mother and mentor to Sakura. Yelan is one of the decedents of Clow Reed, hence why she feels the presence of both the Clow Cards and a much greater force that would mean danger to Hong Kong.
She needs to sound close to how she was protrayed by Kikuto Inouse with a little taste of a tiny Chinese accent.
Introduce yourself and slate the character you're auditioning for.
(serious) I sense you have them. The Clow Cards are with you. Great power comes with grave danger, so be careful.
(warmly) It's okay. I'm sure you'll find the answer in no time.
Madoushi is the main villain of the movie, who was trapped in the spirit world by Clow Reed after she lost a battle to him. She loved Clow Reed and wanted to tell him how much she cares for him, but was too hateful to him. As Kero explained, she came to Hong Kong to tell fortunes with water. Clow Reed came by and told him of his future and it came true.
Madoushi is the only other voice role that need to sound close to both portrays by Megumi Hayashibara and Nicole Oliver (Cardcaptors: The Movie version (Su-Yung))
Introduce yourself and slate the character you're auditioning for.
Finally. You have returned to me... You have no idea how long it has been... but now, I have you here... with me... forever.
(furious) What have you done to this place?! Where is CLOW REED?! WHERE IS HE?!
Sakura's friendly rival on capturing Clow Cards. He is the descendent of Clow Reed and has a crush on Yukito. He goes to his home during winter vacation and is a bit worried on what his mother would think of his report card. He knows something is wrong and would help Sakura in anyway he can. Although a minor role for the movie, he's still one of the main characters of the series.
Syaoran needs to sound the closest to how he was interpreted by Motoko Kumai.
Introduce yourself and state the character you're auditioning for.

You mean to say that THIS is Cerberus, the Golden-Eyed Beast of the Seal.... This plush toy?
(Sakura thanks Syaoran for saving her from the Arrow)
Don't take your eyes off it! It's coming this way!
Meiling is Syaoran's cousin who appears in the anime at the end of episode 19. When she transferred to Sakura's elementary school, her grades seem to flunk due to a bit of a language barrier. She has a little dislike on Sakura.
Meiling needs to sound closer to how she was portrayed by Yukana Nogami.
Introduce yourself and state the character you're auditioning for.
(upset) That card should have been ours if it wasn't for her!
(whispers to Syaoran in a playful manner) Don't worry, I'm right behind ya. I know you don't want your mother to find out! Hee hee!
The most powerful sorcerer who created the Clow Cards and Kero. He has been dead for a while and has loved Madoushi, but was focused on his fortune and magic to even pay attention.
He needs to sound close to his portrayal provided by Kazuo Hayashi with a little bit of Ewan McGregor's British accent.

Love flows like the water.

You should go. Always trust your instincts. Plus, Toya can take my place so that he can watch over you.
Alright, so that leaves it to Tomoyo and... Toya, is it OK for Yukito to come with you to watch over them|?
Maki is the storekeeper of the toy store Sakura goes to from time to time. A very minor role in the movie.
Maki needs to sound close to how she was portrayed by Kotono Mitsushi.
