FDS Dubs: Ape Escape Million Monkeys
Project Overview
Since I'm relatively sure we'll never get a USA localization of this gritty entry of the Ape Escape series, and since someone was LEGENDARY enough to upload HD cutscenes to YouTube, I figured I might as well take it upon myself to give Ape Escape: Million Monkeys the English dub it deserves!
Thanks to closed captioning, the Ape Escape Wiki, and some good old fashioned Google Translate, I've written a somewhat accurate English script for the cutscenes! All I need is some voice talent to help bring the characters to life!
Keep in mind, this won't be a "professional" dub. The purpose of this is just to...
- Give VAs some experience
- Give an underrated game some recognition
- Make some friends
- Have fun!
A few requirements:
- You should have a Discord profile so that I can easily contact you.
- You should have a decent-quality microphone (i.e. no Headset, laptop or cellphone mics). Ideally, the microphone should have the quality of a Blue Snowball microphone with little to no background noise/echo in your recording setup. (Please say what type of mic you use when you submit your audition.)
P.S. (If you couldn't tell from the video, the role of Specter will be played by me.)

Video
Just so you guys know what you're signing up for, I've posted a video showing off my proficiency in voice acting, as well as video/audio editing. I hope this encourages any voice actors on the fence about auditioning that this is a project that's worth being a part of!
