Choujin Sentai Jetman: Sleep on my Chest English Fan Dub
Project Overview
Choujin Sentai Jetman is a Japanese Tokusatsu series released in the early 90s written by Toshiki Inoue.
It features a group of people being infused with birdonic waves and turning into the superhero team known as Jetman. Together they fight the evil Vyram, a group who is attempting to enslave the earth.
Jetman received very high critical and commercial success on release with many people praising its character writing and drama as top notch.
For this fan dub I want to adapt the episode “Sleep on my Chest” as a means of practicing a fan dub of foreign media.
Jetman is a show I absolutely adore, as it is my favourite show of all time.
If you are casted in a role, I will ask you to try your hardest to match the lip flaps as well as you can. But I understand it may be hard being in a different language.
Knowledge on Sentai or Tokusatsu is not required. I encourage you to audition even if you haven’t heard of it.
The leader of Jetman, Red Hawk. He’s got a no frills attitude and is driven by the supposed loss of his lover Rie. Who was killed during a Vyram attack.
Ryu needs to sound like someone who is stuck up in his ways and gives it as much as he takes it with no room for negotiating.

I’m sure she’ll be back to the Rie I know once she wakes up.

Grey is one of the Vyram generals. Though he is a robot he is the most human of the group. Enjoying listening to music while smoking cigars and drinking. He falls in love with Maria and does anything he can to protect her.
