Carnival Phantasm Fan Dub Re-casting (New Roles added!))

Carnival Phantasm Fan Dub Re-casting (New Roles added!))

Project Overview

Hello again, CCC!

It's Somewhat Heroic Productions again for another fan dub project! It's been a couple years since we completed our complete fan dub of Senyu (link provided to Google Drive files for that below), but after figuring out some IRL things, we're back for another one! This time, we're going to take on another undubbed, classic anime comedy, Carnival Phatasm. It is one of the few Fate related projects that still lacks a dub.

PLEASE BE COMMITTED TO THE PROJECT AT LEAST UNTIL YOUR LINES ARE SUBMITTED! SOME ROLES HAVE A LOT OF LINES, SO BE PREPARED!!!

For those who do not know, Carnival Phantasm was an anime made to celebrate the tenth anniversary of TYPE MOON. Primarily featured in the show are characters from the Fate franchise, but they are also accompanied by character's from Type Moon's other work, Tsukihime as well. Unlike the primary Fate and Tsukihime series, the Carnival Phantasm's premise is a set of short comedic sketches putting the normally, mostly serious characters of the Type Moon franchises in over the top, silly situations. Each episode has two or three sketches focusing on different characters in different scenarios, and a few short interludes divide each one. Essentially, it's a zany, over the top comedy. I'd like to dub all of the sketches, but if not all, at least the Fate related ones.

Knowledge of Type Moon and the Fate franchise is not needed, but it can be very helpful when auditioning and knowing the material. I am not looking for exact impressions of the official English VA's. If you'd like to approach your auditions that way, that is perfectly okay. However, I welcome new takes on the character's voice as well! You can audition for one or more characters, and you could potentially be cast for more than one. I'd love to give as many people a shot at this project as possible, but if you're feeling confident, feel free to audition for more than one! Just make sure you are very committed to the project if you plan to do this because re-casting is not ideal.

Now, for the rules of this project, which I am going to be a little more strict with this time around based on experiences in my last project. First off, have a solid microphone and recording setup. The slightest bit of background noise isn't the end of the world, but try to submit the highest quality you can eliminating every problem you can. Second, this is a for fun project. This is a for fun fan dub for everyone to have fun with and improve their skills for official projects. To avoid legality issues and such, I'll ask that you be credited with a pseudonym or at the least a stage name so this doesn't complicate things for anyone involved in the future (had an issue with this last project, so I just want to set this rule). Lastly, have fun with your auditions and let loose! Having fun with auditions and bringing the energy always helps bring the best performances out.

Anyways, I am excited to work with some people, old and new, on a new fan dub! Let me know if you have any questions.

Here's an example of some of the sketches used in the show:

    Stay tuned!

Voice Actor
Voice Actor
Saber, Artoria Pendragon
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to: EgguTasteGood

Saber is Shirou Emiya's heroic servant during the 4th Holy Grail War and is the Saber Class servant. She is in actuality, King Arthur. Her personality is very serious, loyal, independent, and a little reserved. In comedy spinoffs she can occasionally be shy and cutesy. Saber is very strong and is often underpowered by Shirou's lack of mana, which leads to complicated relationship.

In Carnival Phantasm, Saber's personality is still very serious, but her over-seriousness is often played for laughs, as she's inadvertently being funny. She also shows a cuter, softer side in Carnival Phantasm, especially if it involves Shirou and making her food.

I see two approaches for Saber’s voice. One, a medium low to medium voice similar to Kari Wahlgren’s version. Two, a medium high tone like the Japanese VA with a hint of cute in it. Or, your own approach could work too! Note, I’ll also have this VA voice Saber Alter (her alternate dark version) and Saber Lion in the brief skits they appear in.

Voice description:
  • female young adult
  • Shiro! A holy battle between knights should not be this showy!" (serious and angry)

  • This light is the planets hope. Proof of the life that illuminates this world! Behold! EXCALIBUR!" (determined and fierce delivery before firing off ultimate attack)

  • H-H-Happy Birthday, Shirou. I wanted to give you this gift, because you're my master. (shy, sweet delivery)

Taiga Fujimura

Unpaid

Taiga is the adult of Shirou's household in age-sense and protectiveness of Shirou, but not really in many other ways. Taiga is a Kendo master, teacher, and is full of over the top energy. In Carnival Phantasm, she is used in the Next Episode Previews at the end of the episode where she usually yells nonsense frequently and doesn't talk about the next episode.


As previously stated, bring all of the hyper energy possible for Taiga that you have in your body. I could see an adult medium-high to medium-low working here for Taiga.

Voice description:
  • female young adult
  • (getting audience's attention) The Tiger dojo begins now! The instructor will be me, the tiger of Fuyuki! Roar!! (note, actually say the word roar)

  • (dramatic) Humans are in all actuality, multimedia... (switch to hyper yelling again) the Tiger Dojo begins again right now! Thank you for all the fan letters! Now let's burn them!!!

  • (fiercely preparing for attack) Between Hell and Heaven, welcome to Hell! The Tiger Dojo begins today!

Neco Arc

Unpaid
Role assigned to: HarukaNamiVA

Neco Arc is the main Neco, who is usually the character who introduces the next skit coming up. Although, she does appear in a few actual skits with the characters. 

Give her a sort of quirky, different, adult sounding voice similar to the Japanese version or your own take.

Voice description:
  • female adult
  • (another annoyed sound followed by louder grumbling) FOR THE MILLIONTH TIME, WE ONLY DO CURRY--- (suddenly cut off) Oh, that’s not what you meant? (small pause) Oh, the carnival is starting? (surprised) The Carnival Phantasm?

  • (confused) I don’t understand your sudden decision. What's wrong?

  • (loud and obnoxious) NYAAAAAAAH!!!

Arcueid

Unpaid
Role assigned to: zoie mackenzie

The woman also known in the fanbase as Funny Vamp. Arcueid is the main heroine of Tsukihime. She is a vampire and White Princess of the True Ancestors. She joins up with Shiki in her quest after a chance violent encounter with Shiki a night earlier. Arcueid is very smitten with Shiki. Her personality is fun-loving (LOVES going to movies), outgoing, flirtatious, friendly to those outside of her targets and Ciel and Akiha, and interested in modern experiences she has not gotten to experience. 

I believe Arcueid may have the most lines of any character, so this is a very important role! Her voice would fall Medium High to Medium, with a friendly, but confident vibe.

Voice description:
  • female young adult
  • (enthusiastic in style of Sailor Moon next episode preview) You're going down! Magic Circuit Fullcount! It doesn't look spicy but it's super spicy! Marble Phantasm!

  • (annoyed) But Shiki, you won't even play with me these days. (grabs Shiki’s hand; delivery changes to excited) Come on. Nothing wrong with taking just today off, right? I want to go see a movie again!

  • (friendly) What are you guys talking about? (giggles) Being a student is too troublesome, so I became a janitor! Shiki! Does this suit me? What's the matter, you two?

Neco Arc Evolution

Unpaid
Role assigned to: SnarksRemarks

He's one of the Neco characters, and he's generally portrayed as the Otaku of the bunch. He is particularly obsessed with Phantasmoon. 


Try a Medium Low to Low voice for Evolution. He's very passionate about his hobbies, but doesn't project loudly, if that makes sense at all!

  • Lights, camera, action!

  • Wait a second everyone! Phantasmoon is coming on the tv!

  • I wish I would have gotten a picture of what just happened...

Illyasviel von Einsbern (Illya)

Unpaid
Role assigned to: Sam

Illyasviel (Ill-yuhs-veel) von Einzbern is the master of Berserker. While not in actuality, Illya appears to be the youngest participant in the Holy Grail War. She has some surprisingly homicidal and devious tendencies, especially towards Shirou. She does have a cutesy side, which is more often on display in Carnival Phantasm.

Voice description:
  • female teen
  • female child
  • (in great distress) What?! Out of batteries?! Oh no, I was so close to clearing this game too! Berserker, buy me some batteries! The enerloop ones!

  • (very angry) Get up, Rin! That's my spot! Give it back!!! Ahhh!!! (biting Rin noises)

  • (relaxed) Shirou, the futons feel so warm and comfy. (giggles) Shirou, take a nap with us too.

Assassin, Sasaki Kojirou

Role assigned to: GundrickVA

Sasaki is the main Assassin servant summoned during the events in Stay Night. He was summoned under complicated circumstances by the Caster servant, Medea. His sole task is to guard the gate of Ryuudo Temple, where Caster and her Master are stationed. While he does not appear all that much, his main gag in Carnival Phantasm is being unallowed to leave the temple at any point.

I can see Sasaki having anywhere from a Medium Low to Medium High Adult voice.

Voice description:
  • male adult
  • (teasing) You saw him off? So an estranged flower is prettier any peony or lily. How admirable"

  • (relieved) It feels so good to breath the outside air after so long!"

  • (sentimental talking to the Temple) Hey, Temple, if we win... wanna live together?

Satsuki Yumizuka
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to: risiblezombie

Satsuki Yumizuka' is one of Shiki's longtime friends from school. Satsuki has always had a crush on Shiki but is way too shy to tell him directly. In the story of Tsukihime, she is overshadowed by the other five heroines most of the story. This is played for comedy in Tsukihime. One sketch called the Afterschool Alleyway Alliance highlights her and two other overlooked characters trying to get attention.

Satsuki is a sweetheart, and her voice should reflect that. Aim for a Medium High teen voice with the ability to act sweet, shy, and painfully ignored. 

Voice description:
  • female teen
  • (enthusiastic) Okay! So like, the three of us barely get any screen time,but I do think that we can do our best together in this fashion!

  • Satsuki: (flustered) B-But well, that's how the world is, right? So everyone should be-- (screams in fear surprise)

  • (distraught and talking while crying) You've got your calculations wrong…
