Cast will be announced in about a week!
Sorry for the delay! Leadership has reviewed the auditions and the cast will be announced in approximately a week! We will be sending out callbacks momentarily.
Magia Record: Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story is a mobile game spin-off of the critically acclaimed 2011 dark magical girl anime Puella Magi Madoka Magica.
Project Mokyuu aims to produce a high-quality English fan-dub for Magia Record’s Arc 2 content, which will likely never receive an official English translation. This project does not generate any revenues in order to avoid copyright concerns. Thus, unfortunately due to the nature of our project, we are unable to provide monetary compensation.
(NOTE: This project DOES NOT require ADR/synching lip-flaps)
This casting call is for the characters we need to cast for "Main Story (Arc 2): Chapter 1, Episode 1"
This is the start of a new record! All is peaceful in Kamihama. The Automatic Purification System protects the Magical Girls from becoming Witches and the city is rebuilding after the destruction that Walpurgisnacht caused. However, peace is short lived as mysterious new monsters begin appearing and several new factions descend on Kamihama, all with differing goals and philosophies. Will the Kamihama Magia Union be able to achieve their dreams of peace among all Magical Girls, or will they be crushed under the pressure squeezing them from all sides?
Please be aware that voicing a character with us is a long-term commitment. You will be expected to be on-call for any content in which your character appears. In short, before joining Project Mokyuu, be sure that you have the commitment and responsibility for the role.
If you are selected and accept the role as a named character, you are obligating yourself to a long-term commitment to be this character's voice actor.
Project Mokyuu tries to respect your time and is willing to accommodate VAs when/if life circumstances arise.
The deadline for auditions is July 14th. Casting decisions will be made public approximately a week after auditions close. If we cannot decide between two or more candidates for a role or if we feel we need to further evaluate your skills, a round of callbacks will be conducted. More information will be provided if callbacks are needed.

[sad] We’re to blame for this tragedy. These are scars left by us, when we were consumed by our selfish desires.
[happy] Unrealistic stories give people a space to imagine things. And people find happiness through countless such stories.
[irritated] I welcome your best efforts, provided we can end this quickly. I have no time to waste, much less play trivial games with you.
Supporting | Daughter of the director of Satomi Medical Center and one of the founders of the Wings of Magius. Touka is an ambitious young girl with the fierce attitude and intelligence to go with it. As an astrophysics prodigy, she is driven to know everything there is to know about the universe.
JP Voice Reference: https://youtu.be/w9yWhvJFFAU
[expecting praise] Well? Aren’t I incredible?
[irritated] There’s not a trace of you in my hippocampus nor my cerebral neocortex.
[matter of fact, a little sad] I still consider myself to be special. Even if I regret the outcome of what happened, my original goal hasn’t changed. Don’t you think that could be dangerous?
The Coordinator, mysterious and flirty, she has the ability to strengthen other magical girls. A girl from the East side of Kamihama, Mitama is good friends with Kanagi and has also faced discrimination. Her sense of humor hides the anger she feels towards the more wealthy West side of the city. But having met Magical Girls from all around Kamihama, Mitama has grown to desire peace rather than destruction.

Main | A genius artist that cares only for her art, themed around beauty and death. Alina is a bit crazy, as she believes that humanity longs for its own destruction. After the events of Arc 1, Alina disappears only to show up again in the hospital with no memories and strange dreams of a place full of mirrors. Although blunt and dismissive, Alina does have a softer side as she frequently helps Karin improve her artistic skills and find her own unique themes. She sometimes speaks in random Italian.
JP Voice Reference: https://youtu.be/_Dcb_ozmlkc
[irritated] Stai zitta! I’m focusing on my masterpiece! Acrylic gouache dries quickly. It’s imperative you be quiet!
[slightly unhinged] No animal in existence revels in the carnage of its own kind like humanity. This is why destruction in itself is a work of art that draws people in subconsciously.
[matter of fact, with a hint of kindness] You didn't lie to yourself, and as a result, you improved.
Supporting | The leader of the East, Kanagi is stern and seemingly hard to approach, but below that surface, she in fact, quite kind. Kanagi is a bit awkward in social situations despite the fact that she works in a maid cafe. As a girl from the East, she has faced much discrimination. But she is determined to improve relations between the East and West, whatever the cost.
JP Voice Reference: https://youtu.be/gGLNhu6Ag4A
[angry] If you're going to try and lie to me, you had better lie from the bottom of your heart!
[matter of fact] Rather than bear grudges against its people, you should resent the city’s history.
[sadly] I can’t get over how messed up this place is every time I come back from the west.
Supporting | As Mitama’s teacher, Livia seems even more mysterious. Livia is the leader of Puella Care, a group of coordinators, who've come to Kamihama as neutral parties. Livia keeps her distance from the world; her goals and desires are largely unknown. She does, however, have a decent relationship with Kyubey. Despite trying to keep her distance, Livia is a kind and forthright person.
Because this character may be difficult to portray without context, please see the audition packet: http://bit.ly/3qO7v3i
*Note for auditioners: While not content we're going to dub soon, Livia's backstory involves (non-sexual) human trafficking and abuse.
2nd note: Livia is very likely of Afro-Brazilian descent. If you speak Portuguese, are Brazilian, and/or are of African descent, those would be positives in our goal of inclusive casting.

Supporting | Rabi is the leader of Folklore of Zero, a group of Magical Girls that have given up on the world. She carries a pocket watch that inches closer and closer to midnight and to the end of the world. While a bit stern, Rabi has a softer side, especially with young children. She enjoys cooking and reading.
Note for Auditioners: We are aware that Rabi's design includes elements which have been culturally-appropriated from the indigenous peoples of the American Great Plains and Canadian Prairies. We do not agree with these design decisions.

[sighing, resigned] Haa… The hand of the clock pointing to doomsday has begun to tick toward midnight.
I love philosophy books. Learning of various ways of thinking is very interesting to me.
[giving instructions] If something happens, please don’t hesitate to call me. And if Mikage happens to come over, there are sweets up on the shelf.
Supporting | Sakurako, once just a piece of fiction, was brought to life by Nemu's magic. She is now learning to adapt to the ways of human life as her own person. She performs her chores perfectly and is a natural at most things so long as she attains the necessary data to comprehend the task. However, her social skills leave much to be desired as she cares exclusively for the four girls she is meant to protect.

[crying, panicking] Don't forget me...! I'm not dead...! I don't want to disappear...!
[hesitant] I am still not sure what the event is about yet, but I would like to partake in more fun activities with Iroha and the others.
[happy] As an Uwasa, I feel lucky that I can see the four of you reunite happily like this. It’s more than I could ask for.
Ryo loves photography and has a nose for trouble, which has led her to become an investigative reporter for her school’s newspaper. She has a strong sense of justice and is quite stubborn about pursuing what she feels is right. A former Feather in the Wings of Magius, Ryo comes from the East side of the city, but is a part of Hinano’s team of girls in the South. Ryo especially loves taking pictures of cute cats.
JP Voice Reference: https://youtu.be/8FvBEiqMnH0
[determined] No matter the situation, I have to think things over myself and decide what to do, on terms I can agree with.
[angry yelling] You have no idea how much all of us have suffered!
[pleased] Looking at all of my developed photos, so many of them are full of smiles.
Supporting | Kyun kyun~! Ikumin-chan is here to solve all your troubles~! Ikumi dreams of becoming an idol, but her old-fashioned style sometimes makes her more of a comical character. Best friends with Ryo, Ikumi is also a former Feather from the East side now a part of Hinano’s team. A caring and energetic girl, she frequently loses her idol persona in serious moments.
JP Voice Reference: https://youtu.be/WxHJfI4FJfw
[despairing] She’s my best friend… There aren’t a lot of people who understand me for who I am. So if I lost her… If she turned into a Witch, I… I wouldn’t be able to handle it.
[cutesy] The Magical Maid Girl who delivers love, Ikumi♪Makino, is on the scene! Here it goes, my Love Beeeam!
[serious] You know, I think that people don't just have one side to them…
The self proclaimed “Magical Girl of Halloween”, Karin loves drawing manga. Many of her stories are heavily influenced by her favorite manga, Phantom Thief Kirin. A little naive, but always willing to lend a hand to those in need. Karin was in the art club with her mentor Alina. She is still having a hard time believing that Alina committed evil actions as one of the leaders of the Magius. Karin is now concerned about Alina’s disappearance.
JP Voice Reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHSuV1kS2Yg
[concerned] You might be good at art, but that doesn’t matter if you don’t treasure your life.
[sad, frustrated] Of course I can't accept it. Alina-senpai is strict, but she's super important to me.
[determined] No, I won’t let go! I need you to tell me about the people in the robes!
This role is an aggregate audition for all the different adult women NPCs we currently need. There is 1 open role for this NPC type.
[teaching] I know a beast eating in the forest. In Japanese… Watashi wa mori no naka de shokuji o shite iru kemono o shitte iru.
So then, regarding the next example sentence, which word do you think it's modifying?

[desperate, panicking] Please...help me… I won't tell... I won't tell anyone...
[determined, angry] If you're gonna fight, better make sure you're ready to die.
[yelling as she attacks, then hurt as she gets hit] RYAAAAA! Ugh…
