[FANDUB] Detective Conan Episode 01

As a scriptwriter for this project, you’ll be responsible for adapting the original content to fit our English-language fandub. Your primary task will be translating or rewriting dialogue that captures the heart of the original Japanese while making it feel natural for an English-speaking audience. We’re looking for someone with a deep understanding of Detective Conan (or a willingness to dive into the series) and strong writing skills to help us maintain the tone, humor, and emotional beats of the show.

Experience with anime fandubs or writing for visual media is a plus, but we’re also open to enthusiastic newcomers who are ready to learn and contribute to a large-scale collaborative project. If you’re passionate about storytelling, love mysteries, and want to help bring this beloved series to a broader audience, we’d love to have you join our team!

Please share some of your past work below, whether it's fan scripts, creative writing samples, or anything that showcases your writing style and abilities.

As an audio engineer for this project, you will play a crucial role in ensuring the sound quality of our Detective Conan fandub meets professional standards. Your responsibilities will include cleaning up voice recordings, balancing dialogue, adding sound effects, and ensuring the overall audio mix aligns seamlessly with the video. We're looking for someone who has experience working with audio editing software (such as Audacity, Pro Tools, or Adobe Audition) and a keen ear for detail.

You’ll be collaborating closely with voice actors and other team members to create a cohesive and polished final product. A strong understanding of anime workflows and timing is a bonus, but we're happy to work with talented individuals who are ready to learn and contribute. If you're passionate about sound design and want to be part of an exciting fandub project, this is a great opportunity to showcase your skills!

Please share some examples of your previous work below, whether it’s past audio projects, mixing demos, or anything that highlights your audio engineering expertise.

As the voice director for this project, you’ll be responsible for guiding the voice actors to deliver performances that capture the essence of Detective Conan. Your role will include managing recording sessions, providing direction on tone, pacing, and emotional delivery, and ensuring that the voices of the characters remain consistent with the original Japanese version while feeling natural for an English-speaking audience. We're looking for someone with a good understanding of voice acting, strong communication skills, and the ability to work collaboratively with actors of various experience levels. Experience with directing voiceover projects is highly preferred, but we're also open to individuals who have a strong passion for voice direction and are ready to take on the challenge of leading a creative team.

As the voice director, you'll be instrumental in shaping the overall sound and feel of the project, working closely with the production team to maintain the tone and quality of the fandub.

Please share any previous directing work or relevant experience below, whether it’s past voice direction, acting projects, or anything that demonstrates your leadership and vision in voiceover projects.

Kogoro has an overinflated sense of his importance and detective prowess to the point where he doesn't investigate why he is suddenly and consistently passing out at crime scenes and solving cases in his sleep with different deductions than he was making while awake. Kogoro is also frequently unprofessional in his work, frequently making sarcastic and blunt comments about suspects or even his clients. In cases, Kogoro is typically lax with his deductions and investigation, following only the most obvious clues or assumptions to reach his conclusions, which are often silly or fall directly into a culprit's trap. The police, especially Megure, often find him to be an embarrassment while awake and hope to see "Sleeping Kogoro" as soon as possible. Kogoro does have a serious side which only emerges when the case has personal importance to him, such as when Eri and Ran are involved. When this happens, Kogoro's entire personality and demeanor change and he begins acting professionally, demonstrating improved deductive skills and cunning. While he is not up to the standards of Shinichi and he still can have problems with finding clues, his logical reasoning becomes better, and Kogoro often demonstrates he has a better sense of interpersonal relationships than Shinichi does.

Genta is the self-proclaimed leader of the Detective Boys. He loves food, especially braised eel on rice, and can eat more than all the other Detective Boys members combined. When discussions of money come up, Genta tends to think about it in terms of how many eel bowls he could buy. He also tends to mess up certain Japanese terms with similar-sounding words (especially if the latter are related to food) and sometimes has trouble reading even the most common Kanji, which on occasion causes some ridicule from his classmates and friends. His brash personality, lack of awareness of his surroundings, and tendency to not think before acting often lands the Detective Boys (or at least himself) in sticky situations.

Mitsuhiko enjoys reading science books and takes a scientific approach to problem-solving. He is a smart and well-read first-grader who believes that technology can solve most problems. It has been shown at numerous times that Mitsuhiko really likes to be prepared for any occasion. He enjoys studying scientific, historic and general subjects for his own interest and fun. 

Ayumi is a primarily naive and innocent little girl who enjoys adventure. She demonstrates courage as time goes on and acts as the group's cheerful spirit. She has an open crush on Conan, even dreaming about marrying him, which makes him uncomfortable. At the same time, Ayumi thinks that he has feelings for Haibara because he tries to protect her and she often sees them talking amongst themselves in private. Ayumi later becomes better friends with Haibara and she allows Ayumi permission to use the more informal term Ai-chan to address her. When on a case, Ayumi often makes simple observations that help lead to progress and resolution.

Of the high ranking members of the Black Organization shown, Gin is the most loyal: he follows the boss' orders most closely and virtually never acts against the Organization's greater interests. He is also one of the Black Organization's most dangerous operatives; Conan miscalculating his intelligence, abilities, and speed of response have resulted in several very close calls and awry plans.

Gin's murderous eyes. Gin is a merciless and efficient assassin. He has no compunctions about killing or threatening fellow teammates. Fitting his icy personality, Gin's displayed range of emotions so far is relatively limited. Wearing a threatening smirk, he enjoys hunting traitors, watching the plans he has concocted succeed, and cornering his targets. Although he seems to take satisfaction with taking out someone personally, Gin is also satisfied with orchestrating a target's death even if he does not pull the trigger himself. 

Vodka speaks and acts like a typical mafia or Yakuza type gangster, and he is just as ruthless a killer as his partner Gin. However, he is also more easy-going and trusting than the latter, thus making him more susceptible to traps Conan sets to apprehend the Organization. In addition, he tends to not perform well under stress without guidance from Gin or other characters.
