Death Note Abridged: Episode 1

Death Note Abridged: Episode 1

Project Overview

Welcome to the casting call for episode 1 of my Death Note Abridged series. We're in need of some extra voice actors to help fill up the remaining characters without a voice for episode 1 specifically. Please note there are other key characters that have not been listed yet due to the fact we have not gotten to the point of the story where they are present. However from episode 2 and beyond, expect every character to be more prominent. If you're familiar with Death Note and would like to audition for any of the characters listed below, please follow me on CC to be notified when I create the casting call.


Future Characters Not Cast

Aizawa

Mogi

Ukita

Rem

Raye

Naomi


(Please note that there are other characters in later episodes without a voice. However, we have not planned that far ahead and as such would like to not commit at this time.)


For the characters that are listed below, please read each character's description carefully and do the best to your abilities. This project will strive for quality so please only audition if you have a good clean microphone with next to no background noise. XLR mics are preferred but if you know what you're doing, blue yetis can sound fine.

Latest Updates

  • Auditions will close at 7pm EST!

    Today is the final day everyone, thank you so much to everyone that auditioned. Im shutting down auditions today at 7pm Est! So if you haven't auditioned already, go for it!

  • Changing the deadline

    There have been some great auditions, however I'd like to finish this first episode as soon as possible. Due to there being some good candidates, I'm changing the deadline to this Friday 6/9/23.

    Good luck to those who have auditioned, and to those who haven't yet, good luck stealing the throne.

  • First character cast!

    Alright everyone, I've noticed a lot of people have auditioned for Matsuda. I'm grateful for every audition, however at this point I believe I have my ideal Matsuda and would much rather put more spot light on the other two characters. I know the deadline may say the 14th of June, however I'm looking to cast people before that. This first episode is merely a pilot and I want to get it out fast to see if its worth continuing! And remember everyone! Good quality recordings are a must! They significantly increase your chances of being cast!

    For anyone that was bummed about Matsuda, please follow me on CC to stay notified for the next casting call. There will likely be someone who fits you there!

Soichiro Yagami

Unpaid
Role assigned to: Idiom

Soichiro has two sides, however you’ll rarely see one of them. When at work, he’s loud and brash. He’s the spitting image of J.K. Simmons playing some of his best roles. However when at home, he’s as gentle as a butterfly. Refusing to give in to his wife's demands for a more “toxic” relationship.


The person who can give me the best J.K. Simmons impression will likely get this role.

  • american
  • male adult
  • What makes you think our target is actually in Japan?

  • (Parody of that infamous scene from Spiderman 2) DAMN IT, I WANT EVIDENCE! I WANT A REASON TO TRUST YOU! I WANT JUSTICE!

  • Well everyone, it's been one week since I locked the door to this room and swallowed the key. I know many of you miss your families, but I do what I do out of love.

Watari

Role assigned to: BonesMcgee

Watari is an enigma. He is the definition of class and prestige. Though he'll never use his powers to aid the task force, he's secretly the smartest character in the show. Give me your best Alfred impression, however, if anyone can nail a Michael Caine impression the job is yours.

Voice description:
  • male senior
  • british (cockney)
  • american
  • (Trying to settle the crowd down.) Gentlemen, gentlemen.

  • You're gay, he’s gay, that guy’s an exceptional breed of gay. But that's okay - after all, what is the true meaning of gay? That’s right. Happiness.

Touta Matsuda

Unpaid
Role assigned to: Duncachi

Matsuda is your typical rookie cop. He's inexperienced, he's weak and he fails to perform even the most basic tasks at times. Honestly, it's scary how he was able to get a position in the Japanese police force. Regardless, he is usually the voice of reasoning that no one wants to hear. Expect him to get put down quite a bit.

Voice description:
  • male adult
  • american
  • Oh hey, Chief, so is this normal?

  • (In response to Soichiro forgetting to include his daughter.) Sir, don't you have a daughter at home?

cast offsite

At this point we don't need any females for any of the major characters. However, we do need voices for a couple minor characters in episode 1 and likely beyond. If you're good enough, I'll consider you for more roles in future episodes. (Misa is already taken however, sorry.)

Voice description:
  • female adult
  • female teen
  • american
  • valley girl
  • Blah, blah, blah, look at my tits. Blah, blah, blah, CNN.

  • (valley girl voice.) We should totally contribute more cringey and borderline dangerous videos to society. You down or what?

  • (Gets grabbed and panics.) SERIOUSLY! HOW THE FUCK IS NO ONE HELPING ME BY NOW!?
