Auditions Closed for Primary Characters!
Auditions have now been officially closed for the trailer part of this project. Thank you all for your many auditions! We will be deciding the cast list for the primary characters this week!
Baten Kaitos Trailer/Fandub [Completed]
Project Overview
Hi all! I’m Charaito, and I am starting a fandub for the classic Gamecube Game known as “Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean.” I'm going to start this off with dubbing the trailer.
In 2003, Baten Kaitos was hailed for its brilliant graphics, moving storyline, innovative gameplay, and gorgeous music. It had shortcomings in one important area however, and that was, of course, its voice acting. The acting in Baten Kaitos is not always horrendous, but the voices would on occasion come off as forced, unnatural, or just plain odd, and it would often occur during important plot-related scenes. The trailer is actually one of the better performances.
Guidelines:
You do not need to sound like the characters in this trailer. I'd suggest at least looking at the trailer so you can see their motivations/ why they're behaving a certain way, but feel free to use your own interpretations of the lines as you see fit - they may turn out to be much better.
-Please make an effort to act out your character instead of simply reading lines.
-Have a decent mic. (Keep your audition static-free, if possible)

If you want to send me direct auditions, send them to me at:

Alternatively, you can audition here on BTVA: http://www.behindthevoiceactors.com/members/Charaito/casting-call/Classic-Video-Game-Trailer-Voice-Actors-Needed/
The Plan:
I will be releasing this trailer on our new youtube channel: Ikuze Productions. Once this fandubbed trailer has been completed, I also have plans to dub select in-game cutscenes. If you are cast, sometime after the trailer's release, I will check in with you to see if you are interested in continuing to voice your character in these in-game cutscenes.

Age 33
VOICE RANGE: LOW – MEDIUM LOW – MEDIUM
Emperor Geldoblame's right hand man. One of the strongest soldiers within the Imperial Army. Responsible for the mission that took the lives of Kalas' grandfather Georg, and his little brother, Fee. Kalas is bent on getting revenge on him.
Notes: Stoic, intimidating, arrogant, and overly confident in his abilities. An accent would work well here, but it is not mandatory.
(calmly) Girl, you will return what you have stolen.
(smugly, with disdain) Because Georg, whom you call Grandfather...... is my Father.
Humph... You're going down with the ship, boy. My Father designed this battleship. Think of it as a nice, roomy coffin. I'm sure it will keep you warm on your way to hell!
(with his dying breaths, lamenting) Life is long when you live it, oh but so short when you look back...

Age 18
VOICE RANGE: MEDIUM LOW - MEDIUM - MEDIUM HIGH
An Imperial Officer from the tyrannical Imperial country known as Alfard, he has an unexpectedly tender and loyal heart, a characteristic which makes him a poor soldier. His strong sense of justice allowed him to cast aside his imperial affiliation to assist Diadem, a country under attack by the Empire.
Notes: Generally thoughtful and considerate. Doesn't normally talk out of turn. An accent would work well here, but it is not mandatory.

(Incredulous) It's unthinkable! To act against the Empire?!
(realization, horrified) "Lady Death" of the Mad Wolf Unit... Is that who you are?
(angry) The King came out alone, as promised! Why did you shoot?!
(visibly shaken, but determined) Call me what you will, but I stand only for justice!
(watching a loved one die, refusing to be persuaded) No, Almarde. It's not your fault. Don't talk like that! I won't leave you here!
(open to interpretation) We have lost a great deal... But you taught us to believe in ourselves.

(open to interpretation, feel free to try out different emotions) Kalas!
(pensively) Yes ...for now, I can be Xelha.... Just Xelha. When I'm here... I can forget about what I am... The burden I carry as the Ice Queen...
Our only hope is the long, lost ocean.
(praying) Oh mighty Ocean, guide us...as we journey through....the darkest pit of Night...
(a little surprised, but gentle) How long have you known?
(when asked by Kalas why she didn't tell him sooner, exasperated) "What was I supposed to say to you?! 'The long lost ocean is inside me? Why don't you come with me and we'll find ourselves an exciting adventure?'

(open to interpretation) Now... Be what you've always dreamed to be!
(sweetly, before having him executed) That's not a very nice thing to say, my dear Emperor...you have only yourself to blame for assuming too much. Thank you... and farewell, Your Magnificence.
Yes, I am fine. These travelers rescued me.
(gently) Everything will be alright. Go back home now, okay?
The world will die a slow and painful death... It is almost here... Just a little longer... (giggles) Ha ha ha ha!

[Does not appear in OP Trailer]
Age: Mid 30s
VOICE RANGE: MEDIUM LOW – MEDIUM - MEDIUM HIGH
Lyude's nursemaid. Motherly, caring, and very protective, Almarde raised Lyude as if he was her own son when his mother and father died.There is profound evidence in the prequel to Baten Kaitos that suggests Almarde may be Lyude's biological mother, passing herself off as a nursemaid to avoid any scandal. She had been 19 years old when she began a hidden relationship with Lyude's father, who had fallen in love with her, and her generosity and compassion.
Notes: Loving and maternal. A tough and beautiful soul, inside and out.
(deeply relieved Lyude has returned safely) Oh, it's my boy!! Welcome home, Lyude!
(brandishing a gun, trying to cover the party's escape) "Next time, I won't miss! I'm serious.
Emperor Geldoblame is aboard the Battleship Goldoba hovering in the sky above Mintaka at this very moment. (with deep affection) Go, my dear child.
(with her dying breaths) Don't be foolish. There are things you must do... Go now... hurry...

Age 45
VOICE RANGE: LOW - MEDIUM - MEDIUM HIGH
Sadistic, ruthless, and always scheming, Geldoblame will stop at nothing to achieve absolute power, even at the cost of his own humanity.
Notes: Absolutely needs a villainous voice. Maniacal laughter would be a bonus. Quite a large ham. He is not a subtle villain.

(Commanding) Kill him! If left alone, he will prove a threat to my empire.
(With False Sincerity) Pardon me. I did not realize you were in audience with your guests.
(Victoriously) Awaken! Ancient god of destruction!!
(Appalled/Outraged) You...out of all people, Melodia...you betrayed me!

A high ranking officer who is under Giacomo's direct command. She is cruel and ruthless, filled with hatred and disgust for Georg, who experimented on her and Folon when they were young children. She respects Giacomo a great deal, seeing him as an adoptive father and follows his directions without question. Directly took part in the mission that took the lives of Kalas' grandfather Georg, and his little brother, Fee.
Notes: Heartless, unmerciful, and loves to torture her enemies before killing them.
(sadistically) Hold it right there, boys! Move a muscle and I'll blow a new hole in your precious king's head!
(contemplatively, recalling their tragic past) "Both Folon and I are from Azha village... We were orphans. Geldoblame bought us as guinea pigs for Georg's experiments... Kalas, I don't know or care what you think, but the two of us, we're happy Georg's gone! Anyway, see ya around.

Age 14
VOICE RANGE: MEDIUM - MEDIUM HIGH
Very little is initially known about Mizuti. They appear to be a proud individual wearing a mask, and possess powerful, arcane powers. They speak in a very confusing manner, often referring to themselves in third person.
Notes:
While wearing the mask, Mizuti has an interesting distortion that makes her voice unique. You can simply send your regular voice to me, and I can re-create that effect for you.

(on the verge of tears) Mother!!
(After hitting an enemy, playfully) The Great Mizuti be very generous. You may apologize now...
(enraged at seeing her home attacked) I... I will never forgive you! Never, never, never!!

Kalas [CAL-lis]

Age 18 (Later 19)
VOICE RANGE: LOW - MEDIUM LOW - MEDIUM
Born with a single wing on his back, Kalas is seemingly easy-going, living only for himself, uncaring of how his actions affect others. Behind his carefree exterior is a jaded young man who has seen far too much injustice to let anyone into his heart.
Important Notes: Hot-blooded. Feisty. Act first, think later. Kalas is a complex character who goes from generally disinterested and nonchalant to emoting quite a bit. He will be yelling and shouting a lot. I will be looking for a confident voice who is not afraid to let loose a little.

In this world, there are things that people mustn't touch. ...Who cares!
(annoyed) That's your share of the loot, enough to shut you up I hope!
(contemplatively) Suppose we escape, but leave everyone to die. Even if we do save the world, could you live with yourself? (Xelha mentions this may be their only chance to escape) I know… But if the only future we have means leaving these people to die, then I want no part of it. Besides, I don’t intend to lose.
(distressed/ desperate) I'm right here! You'll be alright, it's just a scratch! It'll heal in no time! We made a promise, remember?
(in anguish) NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

A headstrong, laid-back, and proud fisherman from the fishing village of Nashira, Gibari openly defies his villages customs and assists two outsiders on their way to the Capital of Diadem. His meddling soon leads to him joining both Xelha and Kalas on their quest to stop a nefarious plot.

Notes: Gibari is described as a laid-back man, but is very protective of his home, his comrades, and his King. He is also a very fun guy to be around, and will never back down from a challenge.
D*mn! The b**tards!!
(being thrown from a distance) Ahhhhhh!
(Good-naturedly) Listen, Kalas. I'm not old enough to go into my life story with a nineteen-year old. Knowing what I am, and what I'm going to do, should be enough for you. Sound logical?
(Annoyed) Go away!
(Challenging) I'll show you what a man of the sky can do!

She is seen narrating events that have yet to happen, but always end up coming true. She is an enigmatic character who appears to Savyna and the other main characters several times throughout the game.She is actually Catranne, one of the four witches who watch over Xelha.

If you can’t do a convincing elderly woman impression, you are not required to. Her elderly form is a disguise, and her true form is young and playful.

After the horrendous battle, our ancestors entombed the wicked god, and left the polluted and barren earth to find a future in the Sky.
(foretelling the future) The struggle alone will fill a great emptiness within you, and ease your pain.
Someday you will know, who you really are.
(in her true form, playfully) Uh-huh. A simple-minded, happy-go-lucky guy who uses brute force to solve everything is a major turn off to girls…

Folon (Foe-Lawn)
open
Unpaid
[Does not appear in OP Trailer]
Age: Early 20s
Characteristics/ Notes:
VOICE RANGE: MEDIUM LOW – MEDIUM - MEDIUM HIGH
A high-ranking officer who is under Giacomo’s direct command. Once an orphan from the outskirts of Azha village like Ayme, now a ruthless and uncontrollable killing machine. Sarcastic and laid-back, but also cruel and ill-intentioned. Wild and a half-crazed joker, but would never disobey a direct command from Giacomo, who he also sees as an adoptive father.
Notes: A healthy dose of sarcasm and a bit of insanity should do the job. Consider “the Joker,” but toned down just a bit. Or perhaps, “Tohru Adachi.”
(after leading the party into a trap, emerging from his hiding spot) Very unlikely, I’m afraid. You idiots.
Looks like you took the bait.... How I love messing with you fools.
(in response to Kalas claiming he had set them up, sarcastically, dangerously) Ding Dong! That’s right! Today’s lucky winners all receive a one-way ticket to hell!
(playfully) Your grandfather and kid brother have been asking for you down below. Don’t make them wait, Kalas.
(preparing to attack) Time to take out the rubbish!
