"Dragon Ball" Manga Fandub 2
Project Overview
Introduction
Welcome to my fandub for the "Dragonball" manga. These dubs are for fun, but I am striving to create a good quality product for each one, to give the cast involved something to be proud as well as ourselves. We know it's not always easy getting experience, and I want these projects to be a high quality project for people of any experience level to either just have fun doing or so people wanting to get more experience and for everyone to have something they're proud of to share. This is one of multiple dubs that are up or will being posted in the coming weeks. We are trying to build a surplus of videos up before they start going up in June. That way it will give the long term VA's for any of the projects some leeway if things come up down the road and they can't meet deadlines. Once June hits there will still be some coming up every so often but the majority of the projects for the next few months at least will be being listed this month or the beginning of April.
*Warning* This series is not NSFW but does have a bit more mature content, mainly around Roshi and Oolong being perverts
What I'm Looking For
Due to this and future projects like this being fandubs, unfortunately I am not able to offer monetary compensation due to copyright. Although it is unpaid though I would like to still have a level of professionalism and quality to the project. So I will be looking for people with:
- Because this is a very long series, please audition for the main cast or supporting characters that reoccur later on, only if you are willing to commit to a long term project. Other than the main crew the commitment isn't overly large for supporting characters but we would like to avoid having to change later on. If you aren't able to commit to long term though feel free to audition for extras, minor roles or supporting roles that do not reappear later in the story, so we don't have to recast if you have to leave.
- Good quality microphone, preferably XLR but if you have a USB mic do not let that deter you from auditioning since it is the sound quality I'm looking for and that's still definitely achievable with some USB mics.
- Little to no background noise, reverb or echo. Some we can definitely work with but if there is too much of any of these it greatly takes away from the quality of the audio and can be very jarring to listen to when mixed in with other audio.
- Discord is definitely preferred but not mandatory by any means but will make things much easier to work on the project as a whole.
- A good attitude! I'm hoping to form a great group of people to continue working with me on these projects going forward and that is obviously much easier if you can get along well with me and the rest of the team!
Parts
Considering the size of this manga, there are a lot of roles that are available and will continue to be available going forward. Aside from the main roles, many of which we still need to cast, we have a large need for many versatile VA's for voicing many of the minor and extra characters. If you are auditioning for a bigger role, feel free to let us know in your audition that you are interested in voicing extras as well. If you have a demo reel feel free to send that on the extras listing or you can send it to me directly on discord as well.
If you would like any feedback regarding your audition as well please let me know when you post it and I'll be happy to give feedback to anyone wanting some asap!
We have also started a discord channel for Echo Audio Productions for this project and many more manga and video game dubs going forward. Feel free to join the server to keep up to date on this project as well as be the first to find out about more projects in the future! We do have a designated server already for this project since it was already active before I took over, so if you are cast I will send you a link to that one as well.
Last but not least, thank you for taking the time to check out my project and we are looking forward to hearing your auditions!

Although we are currently doing the video editing ourselves, with the amount of work we are going to be producing going forward we are very open to having help with the editing. Because of the nature of the project, we aren't able to provide compensation for this role either unfortunately, but if you are interested in gaining more experience and credits to your name, or just love the content and would like to work on a project for fun, we would love to hear from you!
The editing for the manga's is going to be fairly simple, just lots of transitions and words loading as speech is being overlaid. As well as inputting the audio tracks into the video as well obviously. There will also be an opening theme song that will be played at the beginning of each episode, but once that's produced the first time there won't be a new one till the next theme comes in down the road. Any questions please let me know!
Say something you think would fit
Krillin starts off as Goku's rival in training, and a bit of a little jerk. They end up growing to become best friends. Krillin, although he doesn't seem like it at first, does have a good heart and can be brave when he wants to be but can also be the first one willing to run away from battle if the odds don't look good. At least early on.

Oh, 10.4 seconds? My personal best is a solid 10 though.... Well I guess that's about right considering the circumstances ha ha ha... *Being cocky and patronizing Goku*
Ah!! UGYAGYA GYAAAAAHHHHH!!!! *Screaming in terror and running away as he's being shot at*
Th-this is bad!! He's gotten ahead of me!! Damn it! Do I really have to go around?!?1 *Panicking because he realized Goku has an advantage over him and doesn't want to lose*
*pant* *pant* *pant* Milk delivery, farming... we never did anything like this at Orin Temple.... *Shocked screech* W-what?! T-tend the entire field with our hands?!!?!? (Totally exhausted from the training already and in shock when he hears they aren't even close to done)
Y-you've gotta be kidding me! I'm so nervous, there's no way I'll be able to keep anything down!
UwaaaaahHhh!!! I won! I won! I wooooooooooon!!!! *Overjoyed he won his first match*
Launch is a very complicated and unique character and will require someone who has a bit of range. She has a split personality that changes when she sneezes. She goes from a sweet, innocent and more timid sounding girl to a tough and doesn't take any crap girl that is likely to start shooting you up for looking at her wrong. She Is generally in her nice form near the beginning other than the odd time when she changes, but later on she does start to stay in her tougher side more often.

(Nice) Sorry about that! *giggle* It seems like every time I sneeze my personality switches
(Nice) *Sweet and innocently* My! That'll be a great help to me as well!! I'm being chased, you know! They were police! Real ones!
(Nice) *Confused and pondering* Hmm... Well after staring at this bag filled with money, I guess I must have robbed a bank again... Or maybe I robbed a train...?
(Mean) Where am I? Hmm.. This doesn't seem like prison... *Surprised* Who the hell are you guys?!!?
(Mean) Uuuuuuuuh!!!! Whenever I ride on an airplane, it makes me want to hijack it!!! Argh! *Trying to contain herself*
(Mean) The hell you want you little brat?!!? Y-you bastard!! Why are you sleeping with me?!?
Emperor Pilaf is the first major villain in the series, and one of the most unique. He is also after the Dragon Balls and ends up capturing the gang and stealing their balls. Him and his crew's role in the manga is apparently significantly smaller than in the anime but he is still a very vital character in the series.

Well whatever. It seems like the seventh one is coming toward us anyway. Hyo hyo hyo *laughing*
Finally, the world will be mine!!
I thought I told you I hated tasteless jokes...? ... That's exactly what I'm talking about!!! *Slightly annoyed and grumpy, into yelling and mad*
Fiiiiine!! If you absolutely refuse to give it up... I'll just do something perverted to you!!
I see... You really want to be humiliated don't you... Then I guess I've got no choice... *Terrifying and dark sounding* ... Mwah! *Blows a kiss* H-how's that?! I bet you really wanna tell me now, don't you?! ... What do you mean what was that? I... I... I blew a kiss to you....!!! *Embarrased like he just did something unthinkable
"Shock and completely freaked out* Ge-gehhhh!!!! Wh-what a lascivious woman!! H-how were you able to list off so many perverted things so quickly?!!?
Mai is one of Pilaf's spies. She is not exactly the most useful, as is the case with the rest of their crew, but they are also part of the most lovable villain crews in the series. Her and Shu are partners and are always the ones doing all the work and also getting the blame for all the problems.

Y-yes Emperor... We have no excuse, sire...
Emperor Pilaf! We did not find the Dragon Ball in their car.... It looks like that boy has a sack between his legs....
Kyaaaa!!! How perverted! Don't say it outloud!
*Sleepy from getting woke up* They're really making a racket...
*Screams* Wh-what is that thing?!!?!?
Shu is a talking dog and also one of Pilaf's spies, He, like Mai, tries to be helpful and do the best job possible, but usually doesn't succeed. He is the 3rd and final member of one of the fan favorite villain groups.

Now Emperor Pilaf will control the entire world!!
*Annoyed and sleepy from getting woke up* What a pain! We can't get any sleep like this...
*screaming while running for his life* Let's escape in the plane!!!!
Monster Carrot is essentially the first actual villain in the manga. He has the ability to turn people to carrots if they touch him. His role as a villain doesn't last overly long but he is the trigger for a few things in the series.

Stop shouting in such pathetic voices! Where are the ones who went against the Rabbit Gang?
Hoh! Are you actually planning to attack me? *Smugly*
Hee hee hee.... You don't want to shake hands? ... But you did touch me... *Ominously laughing, knows something they don't*
Beat him up thoroughly and make an example out of him!
W-wait a minute!! Is this saying you don't care what happens to this carrot here?! I'm gonna eat it!! *Panic and bargaining*
W-wait a minute! L-lets talk this over!! *Panicked* *Gets smashed on the head with the power pole*
One of the two main Rabbit mafia type grunts. They get beaten up really badly by Goku after trying to threaten people and turn into major cowards afterwards.
I'm not particular on the voice, but they should have the attitude of someone who really isn't that strong but acts like they are because they have strong backing. So putting on a tough and arrogant front but crumbles easily.
There aren't even any good women here...
Damn kid... How dare you run out in front of me! I don't wanna hear any excuses!!
Ha ha ha! Serves ya right! That's our boss!

Peh!! This place is always such a dump! Peh!! This place is always such a dump!
Hey, look! You rarely see a girl like that around here!
*Groaning in pain* H-how dare you e-embarrass the Rabbit Gang like that....
