Dragon Ball Z Budokai Cutscenes
Project Overview
The classic Playstation 2 game, Dragon Ball Z Budokai, is remembered fondly by fans for its cut scenes. While the graphics are dated, the animation and music still hold up pretty well. I think this game is worthy of at least a couple of fandubs but I'd like to first see if there's any interest by holding auditions.
Since the Funimation cast have already dubbed this game in English I am not looking for impersonations of those actors. Original takes or Ocean cast impersonations are preferred here as I am looking to deviate from the official dub.
Notes:
- The original Kenji Yamamoto soundtrack will be intact for this project, none of that nonsense from the HD collection.
- To avoid fatigue and to ensure we see quick results the cutscenes will NOT be dubbed all at once, this will be a scene by scene basis and will depend on the availability of everyone involved.

"Your world champion, Hercule, will crush that fake with my baby finger!"
Medium to low, old or young sounding, I don't have much of a preference other than him needing to sound commanding.
Captain Ginyu is the commander of Freeza's Ginyu Force. He has the ability to swap bodies with an opponent at will.
"You've injured my precious troops but don't think it's over yet..."
"Ginyu, leader of the Ginyu Force, will show you what true power is!"
A low brutish voice would be great. Think something along the lines of Michael Dobson's voice or your own take.
Nappa is the loyal subordinate to the Saiyan prince, Vegeta. He is not very smart but is incredibly strong. He enjoys toying with weaker opponents before finishing them off.
"[laughter] I can't wait to see Kakarot's face when he sees his son squashed like a bug!"
"Hey punk!... That's not all. I killed that other little friend of yours as well!"
[Injured] "Ugh... V-Vegeta... I need your help! [Right before being killed] What!? No!... Vegeta??... VEGETA!!"
"[Attack noise]"

"We are, the Ginyu Force!!"
No preference for the voice although something along the lines of an older Skeletor might work.
Dr. Gero, a once brilliant scientist and inventor, transformed himself into an android capable of absorbing energy. He unleashes the defiant Androids 17 and 18 onto the world and is responsible for the creation of Cell.
"We've been watching you... We've seen all of your battles with our spy robots."
"There was no need, your battles against Vegeta revealed to us all your techniques and power."
A low voice akin to David Kaye's Recoome or a crazy voice similar to the Japanese original will do. New takes are welcomed too.
Not much is known about Recoome. He is a member of the Ginyu Force, a group of alien fighters who work for the villain Freeza.
"Fool! You think you can take on the Ginyu Force all by yourself?"
"Haaa, haaa, haaa! This guy cracks me up... But enough of the comedy routine, let's finish this!"
"H...how... No one's that strong..."[collapses]

[Posing] "Guldo!!"
"We are, the Ginyu Force!!"
A giant wish granting dragon.
Ideally looking for a low gravelly voice but if you have a different take, go for it.
"Now... Make your first wish"
A medium to low voice. Preferably something akin to Scott McNeil or Daniel Woren's take, maybe even a Clint Eastwood esque voice will do.
Considering himself a demon clansmen, Piccolo's main rival is the warrior Goku. After the revelation of an oncoming threat, Piccolo puts his differences aside and offers to train Gohan, the son of Goku to battle the oncoming Saiyans. Despite abandoning his demonic ways and gradually adopting a more peaceful lifestyle, Piccolo still remains a distant individual and ruthless fighter.
[Sinister] "Good, at last!.. He's all mine! This is it. I just need a clear shot
at him. Or maybe... Both of them... Of course! Both of them!"
[Dying words] "Hey, kid... you'll have to take it from here... This is what we
trained for, isn't it? But promise me... stay alive.."
[Confused] "What?! Don't be foolish... If you couldn't defeat Cell, What makes you think Gohan can do it?"
Looking for a high pitch to medium voice, preferably one that sounds youthful or innocent and playful.
Krillin is the long time childhood friend of Goku, he is a warrior trained under Master Roshi. Despite frequently being overwhelmed with every new battle, Krillin bravely soldiers on and overcomes his fears.
[Shocked] "Aa...amazing...! That was just...We couldn't even budge him! But Goku
just up and annihilated the guy."
[Happy] "That was awesome, Goku! [Scared] No it... it's... FRIEZA!"
"Look at him... Could he be a bigger idiot?"
The voice of Goku's Capsule Corp spaceship.
Preferably female, slightly robotic, monotone voice.
"Landing operations complete. Welcome to Planet Namek."
No preference for the voice.

"G-Goku, don't die... Don't die!!"
No preference for this voice.
A gentle giant/strong silent type. Android 16 is a peaceful machine who offers Gohan important words of wisdom before being killed by Cell.
"G... Gohan. There is nothing wrong in fighting for a righteous cause."
"Free... free your spirit as your anger rises."
"I won't let you do it... Cell."
In case our narrator is busy I'd like to let others audition to be a possible stand in.
The voice I have in mind is that of a grandfather reading a story to a child. If you can't do that then try something new.
"Goku, the victor of many great battles, took a trip with his son, Gohan, to visit some old friends."
"[Mysterious/ominous] Suddenly, a creature from outer space appears, to announce an astounding fact."
A Jason Gray Stanford would be great but I'm open to fresh interpretations too.
One of the last surviving Saiyan warriors. Raditz is an alien from the planet Vegeta. He travels to Earth in order to recruit his long lost brother, Goku. Raditz despises his brother for failing his mission of destroying Earth and ends up kidnapping Goku's son, Gohan, in order to persuade him to complete his mission.
"I've come to destroy this planet and you're going to help me. After all, you are a Saiyan!"
[Begging] "Please... Spare me Kakarot! You don't really want to hurt your own brother do you?"
"[Laughter] I can't believe you fell for that trick... Come on, suffer some more! [laughter]"
Looking for a noble sounding voice with a brooding personality due to years of battle and trauma.
Trunks is a mysterious youth who arrives from a dark alternate future. He is the son of Vegeta and is a powerful warrior.
[contemplative] "Three years from now, the Earth will be threatened by two deadly Androids."
[serious/angry] "Haven't you figured it out yet!? There's more than one Super Saiyan... And you're looking at him!"
"And... in one year... You, Goku, will die from a heart virus... But I can help you!"
No preference for the voice.

"I think you're ignoring an important fact. Vegeta, we know all your techniques by heart."
"[Attacking noise, laughter and grunts]"
"[Charging at Vegeta] HYAA!!"
A unique take is preferred or something similar to the Japanese original. The first and last form aren't required to have separate voices however there should be noticeably different traits and speaking patterns between the two.
Cell is a bio-android created by Dr. Gero/Android 20. He is comprised of cells taken from Earth's mightiest warriors including that of Goku, Piccolo, Vegeta and many others. In his first form he preys on humans to increase his power, however, Cell ultimately requires Androids 17 & 18 to complete his 3 stage evolution.
"So, I guess I was wrong about you. You're much more powerful than the Piccolo I know of!"
"Ha ha ha! At last the day I've waited for is here... No one can stop me."
A unique take is preferred or something similar to the Japanese original.
Cell is a bio-android created by Dr. Gero/Android 20. He is comprised of cells taken from Earth's mightiest warriors including Goku, Piccolo, Vegeta and many others. After absorbing Androids 17 & 18 and transforming into his perfect form, Cell becomes the ultimate fighter. Cell's only joys are terrorising Earth and seeking out strong opponents to test his newfound strength.
"Ha, ha, ha! So long as the nucleus in my head remains intact... My body will continue to regenerate."
[frustrated] "This... this can't be. This is ridiculous. You're a CHILD!! I won't be beaten by you!"
"I'll end the suspense if you wish. Very soon, you'll all be dead, along with your entire planet. What's wrong little warrior?
Has your incredible power died?"
Looking for a cocky teenage voice or one that's calm/nonchalant and sadistic. Will accept older sounding voices too if it fits the character's personality.
After being awakened by his creator, Dr. Gero, the rebellious Android 17's first act was to kill his master. Android 17 is a deadly fighter and thrill seeker at heart.
[mocking/sarcastic] "Can Goku come out to play?"
[serious/calm] "You're dead if you don't start talking... Got it?"
[sinister] "But... Unlike you my power never decreases... I'm just getting started."
No preference for the voice.
Minor character in the game's story.

"Nice to meet you, Gohan. I'm Bulma."
"I don't understand... Did he makie it out of there? Will he be
okay?"
"Wow... the Namekian dragon is rally THAT big?"
Unfortunately she doesn't have many lines in this game.
No preference for her voice.
"Goku, you're awake! Are you feeling ok?"
No preference for the voice however try to at least slightly alter it for the transformed state.
Minor character in the game's story.

"I found you at last, Vegeta!"
"I think I know you too. Yes, the short one there holding the Dragon Ball."
