Durarara English Fandub

Durarara English Fandub

Project Overview

In Tokyo's downtown district of Ikebukuro, amidst many strange rumors and warnings of anonymous gangs and dangerous occupants, one urban legend stands out above the rest—the existence of a headless "Black Rider" who is said to be seen driving a jet-black motorcycle through the city streets.

Mikado Ryuugamine has always longed for the excitement of the city life, and an invitation from a childhood friend convinces him to move to Tokyo. Witnessing the Black Rider on his first day in the city, his wishes already seem to have been granted. But as supernatural events begin to occur, ordinary citizens like himself, along with Ikebukuro's most colorful inhabitants, are mixed up in the commotion breaking out in their city.

Hello! Durarara is one of my absolute favorite anime so I thought it would be best for this to be my first ever fandub! Here's just a little bit of what I'm looking for:

1. Must have a decent mic with no background noise. I'm not looking an expensive mic, but at the very least something other than a computer/phone mic. Also, be sure all fans, TVs, or anything else that may cause noise is turned off for your audition. 

2. Please be committed. If things go well, I plan to dub the entire first season of DRRR (24 episodes). If you do not believe you'll be able to stick around for the entirety of the project, then don't audition. 

3. Must have a discord. All scripts and info on the project will be posted in the project's discord server. 

4. Must submit lines on time. This is definitely the most important. Of course, life is always unexpected so if something does occur, please let me know. But if you fail to notify me ahead of time if you're going to be late with lines more than twice, I will be forced to remove you from the project and cast someone else.

5. I am not looking for exact voice impressions. Exact voice impressions are always nice but at the end of the day, I'd much rather you read your lines with emotion and portray your character well.

6. Please submit 2-3 takes of each line. This will help me see if you're fit for the role.

7.  Be willing to watch Durarara if you have not done so already. I will be requesting that you watch the episode as you record your lines so you know exactly how the line should be said. 


As of writing this, I already have the scripts written for the first 5 episodes and I have all the audio already edited for the first episode, only the lines are needed. 

Everyone casted will also be voicing the extras on top of their given role(s) to save me from having to cast too many people. 

Though it is by no means a necessity, please let me know if you have prior experience working on a fandub! I'm more than willing to cast good voice actors even if they don't have much experience, but it will be very helpful to me if they do!


NOTE: This casting call is for characters within the first 5 episodes. I will update in the future with more characters once we get there.

Latest Updates

  • Amazing Auditions

    I just want to say thank you to everyone who has auditioned so far! There have been so many amazing auditions and I only just started casting a few people. As of right now, the only issue is that there are still quite a few roles that have no auditions. I highly recommend that every one branch out and audition for more roles! The more roles you audition for, the higher of a chance that you will be cast for this project. Thank you again, and I look forward to hearing more great auditions!

Initially, Mikado is portrayed as a polite, soft-spoken boy, who at times can be quite childish and naive.  Despite his timid personality, he is shown to have a fairly strong will, and he does have moments where he openly expresses his opinion such as when he tells Anri she should be proud of trying to surpass Mika Harima.

I'm looking for someone with a timid, soft-spoken voice.

  • Even now, I still don’t get it. But in a weird way, I don’t know, I guess I sorta do. Anyway, one thing’s for sure: it was something that changed my life. But then again, nothing really changed at all. Yeah, it was really weird. The kind of weird that could happen to anyone when you think about it. And it happened here, in Ikebukuro.

  • I know, I guess I’m kinda contradicting what I said at the beginning, but this is how I felt back then. I was shaking because I knew that for me, nothing was ever going to be the same again…

Shizuo is introduced to the viewers in the first few episodes as a violent, no-nonsense tough guy, on equal footing with dangerous characters, such as Izaya Orihara and Simon Brezhnev. However, it is implied that most of the time, he is quiet and nondescript, simply following Tom around as his bodyguard.

Looking for someone with a deeper voice who is able to freely yell, as there will be lots of yelling involved for this role.

His expression gives him a carefree, clueless air, and his frequent talk of manga, understood only by Erika, gives others the impression that he is a delusional fanatic. It has been stated by Erika and himself several times that they can no longer see the difference between reality and fiction. Despite the impression others have of him, Walker is a serious thinker and is quick to take action for people and causes that are important to him.

He also shares Kyouhei's second-hand embarrassment for Walker and Erika's open obsession with anime and manga. Saburo's most noticeable characteristic is his strong attachment to his van, as he is shown to fly into a rage should it be damaged in any way (intentional or otherwise).

She is very straightforward with how she speaks and rarely minces words, even coming off as blunt at times.
