[Fandub] The World Ends With You
Project Overview
[Life is a game, and Neku Sakuraba is about to learn how true it is.]
Now open, a fun fandub project centered around the urban fantasy game "The World Ends With You!" This will be an unpaid project, all for fun, and all for sport (kinda), so put your hat in the ring and come join up to escape the Noise!
My only requirements:
- Try to have a decent working mic. I'm a bit guilty of sometimes having white noise, but if you're able to pull off some excellent quality with a Blue Yeti, more power to you!
- Right now, I'm casting for main/major supporting characters, and as the list grows, I'll be having more auditions, so if you don't nail the part you want, don't fret, your time could come! Updates will come in the next week as the cast list begins to grow!
- Do your best, and have fun!

So, keep your eyes open over the coming months as the project lifts off the ground! For those of you that were cast, I recommend following my twitter, @shakyradunn, because I'll be posting a link to the Discord chat where we'll all be prepping for work on this, hopefully tonight! I'll also post it as an update here later on! Thank you all so much for auditioning. You made this experience truly fun, and it was far from an easy decision to cast you all. You all did amazing. :3 I hope you look forward to it. -
Just one more week!
Uh oh. That means that the Reaper's Game is upon us, and casting call for the main cast will be ending soon. Will you prevail, or will you slip into darkness, where Neku will be reaching for your hand? -
Progression
So far, I'm excited to see that there's been so much circulation and auditions over the last couple of days! I enjoy listening to everyone, and I'm glad that you're all having fun with it! Tiny update here: I plan to open up a second casting call for more minor characters after this set closes, so if you don't happen to make the cut this time, give those a shot! Oh, and if you hadn't noticed, Uzuki isn't on the cast list. That's because she's reserved for me. :p I've always wanted to have the chance to play her. She was the first fandub role I ever got to audition for when I started voice work back in 2010, and I'm essentially going back to my roots. I'm excited to see who will get the role of Koki too, to see who will be the right-hand man in my plight~
Neku Sakuraba is the main protagonist of the game, and is not exactly a people person. At the start, he is very antisocial, always drowning himself in music. He is only fifteen, so his voice should represent that young, naive, yet angsty teen. Feel free to have your own swing at it!
"Focus."
"Outta my face. You're blocking my view."
"All the world needs is me. I've got my values... so you can keep yours, all right? I don't get people. Never have. Never will."
Shiki Misaki is a young, impressionable and fashionable girl that wears her heart on her Mr. Mew plushie! Optimistic and a tad ditsy, she should sound the part for sure!
"You! Forge a pact with me!"
"Listen! If we forge a pact, we can beat the Noise!"
"You wanna be erased? Hurry up, there's no time! Make a pact with me! Please!"
To say that Beat is a bit of a simpleton is no stretch. He keeps rolling with a lot of urban lingo, but he has a heart of gold under the gesture. His voice should reflect that!
"Gotchu punks now."
"You got us good yesterday, but today I'ma crush you, yo!"
"Bwaaaahaaa!" [His signature scream]
Wise for her age comes Rhyme, the logical half of her partnership with Beat. She is all too lovable and charming, but she's still pretty young and impressionable. Be sure to touch on her maturity when you audition for her!
"Beat! Stop it! They're not Reapers! They're Players, just like us."
"See? They've got Player Pins. Players must not be able to scan each other. Remember? You couldn't scan me either."
If ever there were a character drenched in mystery, it's Joshua. Snarky and sarcastic, but witty and fun-loving, you never know what you'll get when you step in his path. He's an enigma, and ambiguous, and that should be clear in his role.
[You can do a somewhat snarky chuckle here.]
"Howdy. The name's Yoshiya Kiryu. But Mother and Father call me Joshua. I guess you can call me Joshua, too--seeing as how you're my dear, dear Partner. Hee hee."
"Today's the first day and all... Let's just take it easy, hm?"
Hanekoma is a man that offers his aide to you as you fight through the Reaper's game... but who is he, really? And why did he come to you?
"OK, Phones! In honor of your growth as a human being, and a friendship saved from the rocks, I'm gonna give you a little advice, and a little gift. Make sure you remember it all."
"The world ends with you. If you want to enjoy life, expand your world. You gotta push your horizons out as far as they can go."
One half of a duo including Uzuki, Koki is laid-back and even a bit lazy, but there's always fun to be had in the Reaper's Game.
"Man, here we go again..."
"Exactly. It feels like the Monday after vacation."
"Aight, aight. One week won't kill me. Probably."

The first Game Master, and evidently, the scariest looking. He's a brute, and he has a fascination with making mincemeat out of you--literally.
"You're late. A shame I had to set the table before cooking the main dish."
The second Game Master [aaaaand everyone's faaaaavorite] that has a massive penchant for math, crunching things into a heap, and blowing people's ears out by screaming into a megaphone. Oh boy.
"SOHCAHTOA." [One of his many, many catchphrases.]
"How 'bout a little flair?! Give it some edge! You brain-dead binomials are pathetic!"
The third Game Master, manipulative, cunning, and always thinking of a plan, Mitsuki is often acting of her own accord and keeping her head in the game.
"Conductor, sir. I've received word of another rebellion. A new Reaper under special orders from you, sir."
"Something's wrong. Why such alarm over one artless rebel? He's hiding something. I need to act, now. But not blindly. Every good plan starts with hard facts."
The Conductor of the Reaper's Game, head of the ordeal, and the one that will bring you the most worry. He handles your fate.
"Megumi Kitaniji. Conductor of the game, and loyal servant to the Composer."
"Now then, regarding your fates... As per the Composer's mandate, the number of Players to be given new life this round is..."
I think that anyone can be a Reaper, so this role is open to males AND females. Have fun with it!
"Want past this door? Then defeat three Noise."
"...." (Can be any gesture you'd like, such as a grunt or a mere hum.)
