Dragon Ball: Paradox

MAGELLAN KANE — AUDITION GUIDANCE

Voice Direction:
Kane should have a deep, mature, controlled, authoritative voice. He should sound like someone who is completely comfortable being in charge. Avoid making him sound like a stereotypical screaming villain. Kane’s intimidation comes from how calm he is.

His normal speaking voice should be steady, confident, and deliberate, with very little unnecessary emotion. He doesn’t rush his words. He chooses them carefully, as though every sentence has already been planned.

Personality & Delivery:
Kane genuinely believes that his vision for the world is correct. He doesn’t see himself as evil. When explaining his ideology, he should sound almost reasonable and composed rather than openly malicious. There should be a sense that Kane has convinced himself that everything he is doing is necessary.

When speaking to his subordinates, Kane should sound authoritative but controlled. He doesn’t need to yell to make people obey him. A simple change in tone or a short pause should be enough to communicate that someone has crossed a line.

Description:
Jackie Chun was once known as the strongest man in the world. After spending many decades holding that title, he eventually retired from active competition and stepped away from the spotlight. Even now, many people believe he is still the strongest fighter alive, while others are desperately chasing the title he left behind.

Although Jackie has retired, his skill, experience, and reputation remain unmatched. He possesses an incredible level of martial-arts mastery, ki control, discipline, and wisdom. He often hides his true abilities behind a goofy, eccentric, and mischievous personality, but beneath the act is a serious master who has spent a lifetime perfecting combat.

In the Paradox universe, Master Roshi does not exist, but Jackie Chun fills a similar role as an older martial-arts master and former world champion. He is not simply a teacher because he is old; he is a teacher because he has already reached the highest level of martial arts and understands what it means to stand above everyone else. His retirement has only made his legend grow, especially as younger fighters compete to surpass him and claim the title he abandoned.

Voice Direction:
The voice should feel as close to the classic Master Roshi archetype as possible—an older male voice with a raspy, nasal, eccentric quality. He should sound goofy, theatrical, mischievous, energetic, and unpredictable when joking around.

Give him distinctive old-man mannerisms: wheezy laughs, chuckles, exaggerated reactions, playful grunts, and comedic pauses. His humor should feel natural and charismatic rather than forced. Jackie should sound like someone who enjoys pretending to be harmless, especially because he knows most people underestimate him.

However, when Jackie Chun becomes serious or starts teaching martial arts, his entire presence should change. His voice becomes calm, focused, authoritative, and wise, immediately reminding the audience that beneath the goofy personality is the former strongest man in the world. Even in retirement, he should sound like someone who could still end a fight instantly if he chose to.

JOHNNY — AUDITION GUIDANCE

Age: 20s
Voice Type: Young adult male, naturally deep/rough voice with a confident, cocky edge.

Voice Direction:
Johnny should have a voice with a smooth, slightly raspy, confident quality. He should sound like someone who enjoys getting under people’s skin. His voice should have personality—he isn’t some emotionless soldier.

The performance should have the general swagger and theatrical confidence of a charismatic anime antagonist, similar in spirit to the English-dub style associated with Donquixote Doflamingo, but do not imitate the actor or copy the exact voice.

Personality:
Johnny is a bully type. He likes intimidating people, talking down to them, and making himself feel superior. He isn’t necessarily screaming all the time—in fact, he’s often more annoying and threatening when he’s casually mocking someone.

He enjoys having the upper hand.

Johnny should sound like the kind of guy who can walk into a room, look at someone, and immediately start messing with them because he knows they aren’t going to do anything about it.

Delivery:
Johnny should speak with confidence and swagger. He can stretch certain words, use sarcastic pauses, and occasionally chuckle when he’s amused.

Don’t make every line overly dramatic. A lot of his personality should come through naturally, like he’s having fun bullying people.

Description: The daughter of Dr. Briefs and one of Taz’s closest friends. Ariel is intelligent, confident, curious, and resourceful. She often uses her intelligence to help the group, but she’s also willing to put herself in danger when the people she cares about are at risk.

Voice Direction: Young female voice with a natural, confident, and energetic delivery. She should sound intelligent without being overly formal or “nerdy.” Ariel can be playful and sarcastic around her friends, but when things become serious, her voice should become focused and determined.

Description: A young fighter from Jingle Village and the older brother of Pearl. Penta is a capable martial artist who was kidnapped by the Red Ribbon Army, putting him directly in the middle of the conflict. Despite his experiences, he remains determined to protect his family and stand up for his village.

Voice Direction: Young adult male, roughly late teens to early 20s. Confident, energetic, and naturally tough without sounding overly aggressive. He should sound like someone who has experience fighting but is still young and developing as a warrior. In serious moments, bring out his determination and concern for his sister and village.

ANDROID 8 — AUDITION GUIDANCE

Voice Type:
Deep, powerful male voice with a gentle and somewhat innocent quality. He should sound physically intimidating without actually trying to intimidate people.

Character:
Android 8 is a large, powerful android, but his personality doesn’t completely match his appearance. He’s generally calm, kind-hearted, straightforward, and somewhat socially awkward.

He isn’t the type to constantly trash-talk or boast. When he speaks, he usually means exactly what he says.

There should be a slight sense of innocence behind his voice, especially when he’s confused or doesn’t understand someone’s intentions.

Voice Direction:
Keep the voice relatively low, steady, and relaxed. Don’t make him sound overly robotic. He’s an android, but he should still have natural emotion.

When he’s confused, let the actor sound genuinely puzzled.
When he’s friendly, let the voice soften.
When he’s angry, the voice should become noticeably deeper and more serious rather than turning into constant screaming.

The contrast is important:

He looks like a monster. He talks like a gentle giant.

RED RIBBON SOLDIER — AUDITION GUIDANCE

Voice Type:
Young to middle-aged male voice. Confident, rough, and authoritative. The exact voice can vary between actors, but the character should have a clear sense of military confidence and arrogance.

Character:
Red Ribbon soldiers are trained to follow orders and believe in the organization they’re serving. They’re not necessarily evil people, but they’ve become desensitized to the consequences of their actions.

They don’t particularly care about civilians getting caught in the conflict. To them, completing the mission comes first.

They can be arrogant toward ordinary people and underestimate anyone they consider weaker than themselves. They aren’t afraid to talk trash, issue orders, or casually threaten someone if it helps accomplish the mission.

Voice Direction:
The delivery should sound confident, blunt, and slightly dismissive. Don’t make every soldier sound furious. A casual, almost bored attitude can work especially well because it shows how normal this kind of behavior has become to them.

When fighting or giving orders, they should sound focused and commanding.

SUNO — AUDITION GUIDANCE

Voice Type:
Young adult female voice with a warm, cheerful, slightly energetic quality. She should sound friendly and approachable, but capable of becoming serious when the situation calls for it.

Character:
Suno is one of the first people to help Taz after he arrives in Jingle Village. She’s caring, resourceful, and genuinely concerned about the people around her. She’s willing to help Taz and his friends come up with plans against the Red Ribbon Army, even when doing so puts her in a dangerous situation.

Suno shouldn’t sound like a hardened warrior. Her strength comes from her courage, kindness, and willingness to stand up for others.

Voice Direction:
Keep her delivery natural and expressive. She can be upbeat and friendly during lighter moments, but when the village is threatened, her voice should become more focused and determined.

Avoid making her overly dramatic. She should feel like a genuine person who happens to find herself caught in a much bigger conflict.

ACTOR SHOULD AIM FOR:

• Warm

• Friendly

• Cheerful

• Caring

• Energetic

• Courageous

• Natural

• Determined

• Emotionally genuine

SUNO’S MOTHER — AUDITION GUIDANCE

Voice Type:
Middle-aged female voice with a warm but strong and determined quality. She should sound mature and confident without being overly aggressive.

Character:
Suno’s mother is strong-willed, courageous, and hopeful. Unlike her husband, she refuses to accept that the Red Ribbon Army is something the village simply has to live with.

She understands the danger. She knows the Red Ribbon Army is powerful and that fighting back could cost them everything. But to her, they’ve already taken enough from the village.

Her mindset is simple: if they continue living in fear, what kind of life are they really living?

She would rather stand up and fight for her home than spend the rest of her life waiting for Red Ribbon to eventually take everything from them.

Voice Direction:
Keep her voice natural and grounded. She shouldn’t sound like a stereotypical revolutionary giving a speech. Her conviction should come from genuine emotion and love for her family and village.

When arguing with her husband, she shouldn’t sound hateful. She understands why he’s afraid—but she refuses to let that fear control them.

When she becomes passionate, let her voice become stronger and more emotional, but don’t turn it into constant yelling.

SUNO’S FATHER — AUDITION GUIDANCE

Voice Type:
Middle-aged to older male voice with a gruff, slightly raspy, tired quality. He should sound like someone who has lived through enough hardship to become skeptical of everything.

Character:
Suno’s father is a grumpy, practical, and pessimistic man who genuinely cares about his family and the people of the village. His biggest priority is keeping everyone alive.

He doesn’t believe the villagers can defeat the Red Ribbon Army. To him, fighting back against an organization with vastly more soldiers, weapons, and resources isn’t bravery—it’s putting innocent people in unnecessary danger.

He’s not necessarily against the idea of standing up to Red Ribbon. He’s simply asking himself, “What has fighting them actually accomplished?”

His pessimism comes from experience. When someone gets hurt because they tried to fight back, it only reinforces what he already believes.

Voice Direction:
His normal delivery should be gruff, blunt, and frustrated, with a tendency to sigh or mutter under his breath. He should sound like someone who has already thought about the situation a hundred times.

When arguing with Suno or the others, don’t make him sound hateful. He should sound worried and frustrated because he genuinely believes he’s protecting them.

Even when he’s being harsh, there should be a little bit of care underneath his words

Pearls — Dragon Ball: Paradox

Character Description

Pearls is the younger sister of Penta. She looks up to her older brother and naturally wants to follow in his footsteps.

Voice Direction

Looking for a young, energetic, confident, and playful voice.

Pearls should sound like a kid who is curious, stubborn, and determined. She can be annoying in a funny and lovable way, especially when bothering Taz, but underneath that is a genuine desire to become stronger and help others.

Keep her voice youthful and natural. Do not make her sound overly mature or overly dramatic.

Gloria is one of Ariel’s close friends. She’s a supportive, friendly, and down-to-earth person who brings a more relaxed energy to the group.

She’s comfortable joking around with Ariel and isn’t afraid to speak her mind when the situation calls for it. Gloria should feel like a genuine friend rather than someone who is constantly trying to stand out.

Her friendship with Ariel is important to her, and she naturally looks out for the people she cares about.

Voice Direction

Looking for a young, natural, friendly, and expressive voice.

Gloria should sound like a believable girl in her age range having a normal conversation with her friends. Her voice can be playful and casual during lighter moments, but she should also be capable of sounding concerned, serious, or surprised when the scene requires it.

Character Description

Major Metallitron is a powerful military commander with a commanding presence. He is confident, intimidating, and completely focused on carrying out his objectives.

He should feel like someone who has authority over the soldiers around him and expects to be taken seriously. His presence alone should make it clear that he is not an ordinary soldier.

The voice should have a mechanical or metallic quality, but it should still sound expressive and intimidating rather than completely emotionless.

Think:

• Controlled and authoritative

• Slight robotic/metallic processing or vocal quality

The actor should be able to deliver dialogue with the feeling that Major Metallitron is always in control of the situation.

As a father, he is strict and demanding, pushing Tonba to improve while expecting him to find his own path as a martial artist.

Voice Direction:
Mature male voice with a deep, calm, and authoritative presence. Tonka should sound wise and experienced without needing to raise his voice. His delivery should be controlled and deliberate, reflecting someone who has mastered both his emotions and his ki. When correcting Tonba, there should be a strictness to his voice, but underneath it should be clear that he wants his son to succeed.

A senior graduate attending Ariel Briefs’ party at Capsule Corp. He’s there to celebrate, socialize with friends, and enjoy the occasion. This is a minor/background role, so the character should feel natural and believable rather than overly theatrical.

Emperor Pilaf is a small, ambitious, and self-proclaimed genius who dreams of becoming the most powerful ruler in the world. Despite his grand title, Pilaf is often insecure and easily frustrated when things do not go according to plan. He considers himself a brilliant mastermind and constantly creates elaborate schemes to achieve his goals, especially when the Dragon Balls are involved.

Pilaf is not physically intimidating, but his ambition, stubbornness, and willingness to cause trouble make him a recurring threat. He can be dramatic, arrogant, childish, cowardly, and surprisingly clever depending on the situation. He often tries to maintain the image of a powerful emperor even when everything around him is falling apart.

Voice Direction:
Young-to-middle-aged male voice with a distinctive, eccentric, slightly high-pitched quality. Pilaf should sound dramatic, arrogant, and theatrical, almost like someone who genuinely believes he is destined to rule the world.

Shu is Emperor Pilaf’s loyal ninja and one of his closest companions. He serves as Pilaf’s personal bodyguard, assistant, and occasional voice of reason. While Pilaf tends to rush into ridiculous schemes, Shu is usually more cautious and practical, often realizing when something is going wrong before Pilaf does.

Despite being more sensible than Pilaf, Shu is still deeply loyal to him and will follow Pilaf into dangerous situations. He is capable of fighting, sneaking, gathering information, and carrying out missions for Pilaf. Shu can also become nervous when situations get out of control, especially when Pilaf’s plans become unnecessarily dangerous.

Voice Direction:
Young adult male voice with a slightly higher or lighter tone than a typical serious warrior. Shu should sound clever, cautious, loyal, and somewhat nervous under pressure. His delivery should become frantic when Pilaf makes a terrible decision, but he should still feel competent rather than completely cowardly.

Description:
Mai is one of Emperor Pilaf’s most trusted associates and the most serious member of the group. Unlike Pilaf, she does not get caught up in his fantasies of becoming ruler of the world.

Mai is often the one keeping Pilaf and Shu focused when their plans begin falling apart. She can be sarcastic and easily annoyed by Pilaf’s behavior, but she remains loyal to the group.

Voice Direction:
Young adult female voice with a calm, mature, confident delivery. Mai should sound intelligent, composed, and slightly sarcastic.

Description:
Dempsey is a skilled martial artist who competed in the previous year’s World Tournament. During the tournament, he dominated his opponents through the earlier rounds, building a reputation as one of the most dangerous and arrogant fighters in the competition. He fights with confidence, swagger, and a bad-boy attitude, treating his opponents like they are beneath him.

Dempsey’s cockiness comes from his success. After overwhelming nearly everyone he faced, he enters his match against Penta convinced that the outcome is already decided. He taunts Penta, underestimates him, and assumes that another easy victory is waiting for him. However, Penta proves to be far more skilled than Dempsey expected and defeats him in a memorable match.

Dempsey is a supporting fighter who helps establish Penta’s reputation as a highly skilled martial artist before Penta’s disappearance. His loss should feel significant because he was not an ordinary competitor—he was a dominant fighter who seemed nearly unstoppable until he faced Penta.

Voice Direction:
. Confident, cocky, competitive, and athletic, with a rebellious bad-boy edge. Dempsey should sound like someone who knows he is talented and enjoys making sure everyone else knows it too. His delivery can include smug laughs, taunts, playful insults, and an intimidating sense of confidence. He should come across as arrogant and disrespectful without sounding completely foolish; Dempsey genuinely is a powerful fighter, which is why his defeat by Penta is so impactful.
