Is it very important that you read through all of the rules and guidelines to understand what you may be signing up for! Please and thank you!
If you are looking for more roles to audition for, I have another open casting call here.
DEADLINE: DECEMBER 30TH 12 AM PST. Late submissions may not be able to be considered depending on when they are submitted. If you're lucky and are able to submit it before I send some auditions to the casting team, you may be considered. If not unfortunately there is not much I can do once talents have been finalized. If an extension is needed, please contact me and we can possibly work things out from there! However, the extension must be reasonable, for example, 2 months after the deadline is not very reasonable. Auditions for Delora, Hildyr, and Parfait will be ending November 25th. HOWEVER, if an extension is needed please let me know and we can possibly work things out from there!
Who Are We?
Ceragon Dubs is a fandubbing group that is currently dubbing over Shall We Date? otome games by the company NTT Solmare. Some of these projects include Wizardess Heart, Lost Alice, and Blood In Roses. In the past, we had dubbed some Webtoon comics, however, due to Webtoon's Daily Pass introduction, they had to be cancelled. The current focus of the channel and production is bringing otome games to life by voice acting.
**Please note: The production team and I have received permission to fandub these otomes from the corporation (NTT Solmare) itself. As for Cinderella Phenomenon, I got the okay from Dicesuki to do this as well awhile ago! I just wanted to finish up some of the other dub projects first before introducing a new dub.
DISCLAIMER: NONE OF THIS IS PAID! I wish I could pay you all, but I am a broke college student drowning in debt. I am not earning money from the channel, our Patreon, or even our ko-fi so unfortunately there will not be any payment. In the future, if this changes I DO hope to start paying everyone involved, but that's only if start earning enough money.
Rules/Auditioning Guidelines:
1. Before auditioning you must keep in mind these are all LONG TERM roles. So please, audition at your own risk. Deadlines for lines will usually be about 3-4 weeks, but may be more or less depending on when the lines are needed. On rare cases, if the lines assigned are an emergency the deadline may be shorter(deadlines would be 1-2 weeks in this case).
2. Because this will be long term, you will need to be dedicated to your role. If you are going to audition, get casted, then leave once lines have been assigned/are due, please do not audition. Likewise, if you are going to ghost me (going MIA which is missing in action) then please do not audition. If you need to leave because of personal circumstances, I DO understand. I am not insensitive, and all I ask that you contact me before leaving and do not leave me hanging!
3. You will NEED a discord account. This is where our projects will be taking place, and how lines will be sent and received. Please understand that I will NOT be doing live direction/voice calls over discord due to personal circumstances and scheduling confections. If you specifically only want do to live readings, I'm sorry, but this is not the project for you.
4. All auditions submitted must be professional. (Examples, but are not limited to: outtatakes/messing up mid-line, people talking to you or yelling in the background, etc.) When you are doing your official lines, this will also be a requirement as well-- so in a way this is preparing you and letting you know what I expect ahead of time.
5. Submit 2-3 takes per line, each with different intonations in an AABBCC format(if you don't know what that means, then different line deliveries/emotions. "Takes" in the voice acting field means "repeating the line") If you do not do this, especially for a role that carries more responsibility and work, there is a high possibility we will not be considering you. If you need my reasoning for this: I need to know and trust that you'll read through instructions thoroughly(instructions will be sent in a long PDF file that explains how I'd like everything/letting you know specific information) when I assign lines to you. When lines are being sent out I require multiple takes, so this is also something you will be doing often.
6. Please be easy to work with. All members in my team, whether it be staff members, your fellow VAs, myself, etc. must be respected. There is no need to insult a staff member for sending you a reminder for lines, or insult other members in the server. If I ask for retakes or ask you to submit things a certain way because it was done incorrectly, there is no need to be disrespectful and rude. Like you, we would all like to be respected.
7. Though not required, it would be helpful for you to include your discord + tag in the comments or notes of your audition. You may also message me this if you are uncomfortable leaving it as public information. If for some reason I am unable to contact you via Casting Call Club, I will have your discord account ready to contact. Understand that if you are not responsive on Casting Call Club and do not have some way for me to contact you outside of Casting Call, you will be recasted.
8. Proceeding to audition for any of these roles means you understand that you must be on top of your work(if you get casted). Strikes will be issued for missing or late work, and I have the right to remove you from the project if you have met all of your strikes. However, extensions may always be granted as long as you ask me. I will not say no unless it is an emergency. If you also go MIA (missing in action)/unresponsive I have the right to remove you from the cast.
9. DO NOT AUDITION if you do not like scripts being sent as videos! It is important that each auditioner understands this. Due to the length of some of the chapters(each chapter is about an hour long) and being short on staff, text scripts will not be provided. It should not come across as a shock when you start doing official lines that there are no text scripts being provided. Here is an example of what scripts will look like. Scripts will ONLY be provided if I think they are necessary, such as if it is confusing on who is talking/saying what. This will probably only be one time though, in the very opening trailer of the otome. I will try my best to provide scripts, but because I also have to balance my classes and the work of over 150 VAs on the server, this may not be entirely possible.
10. Due to the huge amount of characters that are in need of casting, you are allowed to audition for multiple characters. However, it goes without saying that it does not guarantee you'll be casted for any or all roles you audition for. As a heads up, due to the nature of how heavy most of these roles are, I most likely will be avoiding double casting unless at least one of the roles is less dialogue heavy.
11. Knowledge of the otome will help a lot! If you have played it before or dabbled with it, please let me know! It won't determine whether or not you will be casted; it just would help me get a good idea of who does/doesn't know what's going on in the storyline once we have an official cast. For instance, if it turns out no one knows, then I will make guides to help the VAs better understand their character(s) so that they may have an easier time connecting with their character(s).
12. There are some difficult names here and there, so just try to pronounce them as best as you can. I have not provided any pronunciation guides, so it would be unfair of me to count it against you.
13. Please do not private your auditions. If the casting team cannot access your audition, we unfortunately cannot consider you because they won't be able to hear it.
14. Lastly, there is a mandatory interview for every VA in the cast once they have completed their main story content (if they are a lead), or if they have completed a few assignments for their character already (supporting, familiars, etc.). This series will be called "Meet the Cast." If you will not be comfortable with this, please do not audition. If you are curious to see what the series is about, the link will be here. The Meet the Cast will only be optional for behind the scenes crew, such as artists, editors, etc. if they are not comfortable.
Just as a heads-up to all auditions: if you selected to join the team, there is a high possibility I will be using your auditions as a "voice reveal" type of announcement on the channel. This series may be viewed here. The purpose of this series is to kind of "hype" up the project, you and your voice, and the character itself.
Callbacks:
I usually only do callbacks when the casting call has officially ended, however, in this case I will try to do callbacks sooner. That way everyone has a good amount of time to turn in their callback audition. If you do not know what a callback is, it means that the casting team or I enjoyed your audition, but would like to hear something different from you. Example of this could be a change of pitch, different line delivery, etc. Callbacks are very important as it will help the casting team and/or I decide who to cast out of our top picks. Not submitting a callback after a certain amount of time tells us you are no longer interested in the role, and therefore we may go with someone else.
Plotline:
The plan for this otome is to do a full dub of the entire game.
Synopsis: Four years after the end of the Great War and the loss of her mother, Crown Princess Lucette of Angielle is till struggling to come to terms with her new life and step-family. Cold-hearted and bitter, Lucette's life is once again turned upside-down by the Fairytail Curse, and she is thrown into a battle to regain her crown in a fractured kingdom where nothing is at is seems.
**I won't be casting any roles until the deadline. However, the exceptions are for the artist and writer teams (mostly artists). If you are casted for any of these, I will reach out to you via direct messages!
