Final Fantasy 7 Artist Collaboration!
Project Overview
Hello everybody! This is a casting call for a Final Fantasy 7 artist collaboration project. I'm looking for voice actors for a fandub of the main storyline. The ability to read for multiple characters is a plus, but not required. I'm looking for talent that can put acting ahead of voice, while still capturing a piece of what makes the characters special. I'm not concerned with impressions of canonical voice actors as much as a confident performance.
This is a passion project because I have no initial audience. While I would imagine the algorithm will be kind come the next installment of the remake, I have no expectation for this to be a profitable venture. However, I will offer $5 via PayPal as a thank you for your time and talent. Also, if the video does happen to get monetized, I would be thrilled to share profits based on an industry standard.
I will begin the project by first focusing on the Midgar section of the story, so I will be only casting characters that appear there. If you are eager to throw down your Vincent, Cid or Bugenhagen, stay posted as I will return later for additional characters as the series progresses.
There are no requirements on equipment except for a clear microphone, discord, and audacity.
Auditions will be held until Oct 31st, results by November 2nd. Please include available times to record in your audition
I am also searching for talent in other fields as well! If you, or anybody you know, would be interested in sharing your fan art, animation, or musical covers, or just have an interest in keeping up with the project, you are welcome to join our discord a thttps://discord.gg/svu5Ew9sEq

Thank you so much to everybody who auditioned. The amount of talent I've seen is staggering, and I appreciate each and every submission. I would like to place an open invitation to our Discord https://discord.gg/N2cTesTrYt to anybody interested in following the project. I will also be looking in the discord if I need to recast any roles from this part of the story. I'm also looking for anybody interested in animation, fan-art, music composition and post production to lend their talents to the project. If you have any experience these fields I would love to hear from you! Even if you want to just follow the project and join the community, you are welcome join as well :D Discord: https://discord.gg/N2cTesTrYt
Barret is the larger than life leader of AVALANCHE. With a personal vendetta against the mega corporation of Shin-Ra, he will stop at nothing to bring down the entire organization, and save the world in the process.
C'mon newcommer. Follow me
Biggs!!
Wedge!!
Jesse!!
The upper world...a city on a plate... It's 'cuz of that damn 'pizza', that people underneath are sufferin'!
I loved the Mark Hamil depiction in the remake, but I don't necessarily need a Joker impression. If you want to go that way, that's fine, but you could also really lean into his smarmy/ overweight / gross aspects as well
Woo-hoo! I love chickies who play hard-to-get! Yeowza!
No wait, it'll only take a second. How do you think scum like me feels when they babble on about the truth?
1. "They've pretty much given up on life"
2. They're sure they'll win"
3. They don't know what the hell's going on
Most of the animation for this project will come from in-game assets. However we are also featuring fan made animations of boss fights and key moments of the story.
We have a great animation director who would be willing to give direction to those interested n learning, as well as clean up any inconsistencies in the art. All you need are basic drawing skills and an interest in animating!
Say something you think would fit
We are looking for somebody who can add after-effects to the video. Bullets/lasers/lighting or anything that can add that last bit of polish to the final cut!
Say something you think would fit
Im looking for a Hojo that can turn the creep factor to 11 while staying clear and coherent
As a specimen, she is inferior to her mother. I'm still in the process of comparing her to her mother, Ifalna, but for now the difference is 18 %.
That's why we're thinking of breeding her. Then we could create one that could withstand our research for a long time.
Rufus is the younger, more sinister heir of Shin'Ra Electric. A minor role at the end of the segment, but an important figure later on in the story
...Old man tried to control the world with money. It seems to have been working. The population thought that Shinra would protect them. Work at Shinra, get your pay. If a terrorist attacks, the Shinra army will help you. It looks perfect on the outside.
Heh... That's all for today...
The biggest advice I can give to this role is to not lay the comedic voicing on too thick. His character is chubby and can be a little dopey at times. But try to harness that energy into something more endearing than insulting.
Someday AVALANCHE's gonna be famous... and me, too!
Cloud!!
Don't ya think I got a bright future ahead of me?All my life, I felt like nothin' but a sidekick.
But after joinin' AVALANCHE and tryin' to save the Planet, I feel like I can do lots of things.
A minor role, but a great way to showcase a suave, professional sounding villian
I wouldn't try that...... You just might make me injure our special guest.
Biggs is a very down to earth character, preferably a little deep, but not enough to be unrealistic. Imagine being aware that you are about to risk the lives thousands of people, but determined to do what is needed for the planet.
Wow! You used to be in SOLDIER all right! ...Not everyday ya find one in a group like AVALANCHE.
That should keep the planet going... at least a little longer.
This audition is more of a placeholder for future installments. His lines will come from Cloud's head, and could come in by an audioclip with all of the lines. I would like to have the continuity between the voice in Cloud's head and Sephiroth himself.
Watch out! This isn't just a reactor!!
But they... Those worthless creatures... are stealing the planet from Mother
Jenova will be at the Reunion. Jenova will join the Reunion becoming a calamity from the skies
My personal favorite member of the Shin'Ra brass. Big, bumbling, and very British
Rate hike! Rate hike! Tra, la, la! And please include our Space Program in the budget!
Hey-hey! Is the tea ready yet? With plenty of sugar and honey. Oh yeah, and don't forget the lard too
Reeve / Cait Sith will be played by the same person, but Cait Sith's lines will be filtered through a light filter to portray distanced communication through a microphone. Reeve is more professional sounding in person, while Cait Sith is generally more upbeat and animated. The trick will be finding a balance between the two so they can both read as the same person
We have the damage estimates for Sector 7. Considering those factories we already set up and all the investments, the damage is estimated at approximately 10 Billion gil...
Cait Sith: How 'bout it? Want me to read your fortune!? A bright future! A happy future!
This role is an open slate. Use what you think Red XIII would sound like. This is more of a minor role for the end of the Midgar segment, but has more lines further along in the story
Also did you know "M" is the 13th letter of the alphabet?
Hojo has named me, Red XIII. A name with no meaning whatsoever to me. Call me whatever you wish
An informed question. But difficult to answer. I am what you see.
This is a very audio centric production, and there are many aspects to audio production that I am well aware that I am oblivious to the ins' and outs' of balancing/cleaning/fine tuning audio.
This role would take the "finished" product and use their expertise to form it into a well produced listening experience. You would also be quality control for anything that could really use a redo before sending it out into the world

Ask anybody to name 3 things that they love about Final Fantasy 7, and they would all include the soundtrack of the game. Im looking for an audio engineer that could add in-game music/sound effects behind the dialog in a way that compliments the voice acting and creates an engaging mood for the listener.

I imagine that Cloud is a character that most people know already. Im looking for somebody who can encapsulate his edgy/moody demeanor, but gradually change into the confident leader he becomes. Most importantly though, is that if you are looking to play Cloud, I ask that you be willing to commit to the role for the long haul, as to preserve continuity with the lead protagonist
" I don't care what your names are. Once this job's over... Im outta here
Tifa, explain, what are you doing in a place like this?
We'll take care of that monster. Somebody take Aerith somewhere safe
President of the Shin'Ra electric company. Older businessman with absolutely zero concern of anything besides the bottom line
What's the problem, Reeve? You want out?
We'll destroy Sector 7 and report that AVALANCHE did it. Then we'll send in the rescue operation care of Shinra, Inc.... Heh, heh, heh...this is perfect.
Jesse is generally fun and flirty, but very subtle as to not distract from the weight of her mission. As the demolitions expert of AVALANCHE, she takes deep pride in her work, but heavy responsibility in the what believes is the consequences of her actions
Code deciphered.
All right, be carefulHey, Cloud. You want to look at this with me?
It's a map of the Midgar Rail System.- Final moments before collapse of Sector 7-
...Is... that so......?
Ha.. cool... as usual... ex-..SOLDIER. ...always... I liked that... in you...
Tifa is the childhood friend of Cloud and member of the terrorist organization AVALANCHE. She is willing to do whatever it takes to save the planet, but is also apprehensive of going to the lengths she is called to do at times.
So! You're really leaving !? You're just going to walk right out ignoring your childhood friend !?
Cloud! Please don't die! You can't die! There's still so much I want to tell you!
*responding to Aerith telling her not to worry about her and Cloud*
What do you mean, 'Don't worry'...about what?
Horse laugh is just as important as a voice oozing with cruelty
Gya ha ha! After all, we're the ones who saved Sector 7 from AVALANCHE!
Reeve, you should flush those personal problems in the morning!
Because the remake established the canon of "th" we will be using that spelling. She is very cutesey/energetic/upbeat but reeled in with a wisdom that comes from the Earth itself, and a devotion to protect everybody that she cares about
Say, Cloud. Have you ever been a bodyguard?
Cloud, why don't you dress up like a girl? It's the only way.
"I'll CRUSH them!"
A lot of freedom with this fun. I would recommend something cocky/energetic
Yeah, all right. Back to work, back to work.
You're too late. Once I push this button... That's all, folks! Mission accomplished.
Elmyra is Aerith's mother. Im looking for a stern, yet caring voice. Preferably something older sounding
I don't know how to say this, but...Would you please leave here, tonight? Without telling Aerith.
