Earth's Mightiest Duck | Scrooge McDuck Comic Dub

Earth's Mightiest Duck | Scrooge McDuck Comic Dub

Project Overview

I’m casting a full-cast comic dub of Marvel’s Uncle Scrooge: Earth’s Mightiest Duck #1, a story where alien collectors called the Connoisseurs have conquered Earth and are burning through Scrooge McDuck’s memories to find his hidden fortune. It’s a big, action-packed adventure with robot armies, a volcano, a rebellion of Junior Woodchucks, and a Glasgow shoeshine boy who turns out to be Scrooge himself. The dub will be fully voiced, with sound effects and music, bringing the comic’s humor and heart to life.

Where it will be posted

The finished video will be released on my YouTube channel, The Donald Duck Project (https://www.youtube.com/@TheDonaldDuckProject). I’ve run the channel since 2015, producing fully voiced dubs of classic Donald Duck, Uncle Scrooge, and Duck Avenger comics with a rotating cast of voice actors from around the world.

Compensation

This is a non-paid, fan-made passion project. The channel isn’t affiliated with Disney or Marvel, and there is no budget for talent. In exchange, every cast and crew member is credited by name in the video description, with links to their website, social media, Casting Call Club profile, IMDb page, or whatever else they’d like promoted. Performers are welcome to use the finished video in their demo reels and portfolios, and the project is a good chance to add a credit alongside a community of dub performers.

Requirements

Recordings should be done remotely with your own equipment, and the audition should be a clean recording with no background music. Human performers only: AI-generated or AI-cloned voices will not be accepted.

Latest Updates

  • Young Scrooge McDuck Cast

    Thank you to everyone who auditioned for Young Scrooge McDuck! I’ve decided to cast Scrooge’s voice actor in the role, since we were able to make his voice sound younger while keeping the mannerisms, tone, and accent consistent across both versions of the character. I appreciate everyone who took the time to audition.

A scrappy, proud young Scottish voice with a strong, authentic brogue. He’s tough, stubborn, a little cocky, and already allergic to being told what to do.

Smooth, smug, and impossibly lucky, but here he’s a reluctant collaborator caught between his cowardly pragmatism and his conscience. Both sides of that tension should be audible.

A heavy, mechanical, menacing voice with a glitchy cadence. Stutters, processing pauses, and a hint of pitch-shifting are welcome. Raw, clean takes are fine, since our sound engineer will add the processing.

I’m looking for a sound engineer to handle audio cleanup and sound design for this production and possibly willing to join my production team for future Donald Duck comic dubs. (it is just me at the moment.) The job covers noise reduction and cleanup of voice recordings from a large, remote cast; leveling and consistency across actors recorded in different spaces; and sound effects for a very action-heavy script: robot footsteps, laser blasts, crashing metal, explosions, a volcano, and cosmic spaceships. It also includes robot voice processing for the Mech and Connoisseur characters (with my direction). Please send a short reel or a before-and-after sample of cleanup or sound design work.
