"Final Fantasy: Lost Stranger" Manga Fandub
Project Overview
Introduction
Welcome to my fandub for the "Final Fantasy: Lost Stranger" manga. These dubs are for fun, but I am striving to create a good quality product for each one, to give the cast involved something to be proud as well as ourselves. We know it's not always easy getting experience, and I want these projects to be a high quality project for people of any experience level to either just have fun doing or so people wanting to get more experience and for everyone to have something they're proud of to share. This is one of multiple dubs that are up or will being posted in the coming weeks. We are trying to build a surplus of videos up before they start going up in June. That way it will give the long term VA's for any of the projects some leeway if things come up down the road and they can't meet deadlines. Once June hits there will still be some coming up every so often but the majority of the projects for the next few months at least will be being listed this month or the beginning of April.
What I'm Looking For
Due to this and future projects like this being fandubs, unfortunately I am not able to offer monetary compensation due to copyright. Although it is unpaid though I would like to still have a level of professionalism and quality to the project. So I will be looking for people with:
- Good quality microphone, preferably XLR but if you have a USB mic do not let that deter you from auditioning since it is the sound quality I'm looking for and that's still definitely achievable with some USB mics.
- Little to no background noise, reverb or echo. Some we can definitely work with but if there is too much of any of these it greatly takes away from the quality of the audio and can be very jarring to listen to when mixed in with other audio.
- Discord is definitely preferred but not mandatory by any means but will make things much easier to work on the project as a whole.
- A good attitude! I'm hoping to form a great group of people to continue working with me on these projects going forward and that is obviously much easier if you can get along well with me and the rest of the team!
Parts
If you would like any feedback regarding your audition as well please let me know when you post it and I'll be happy to give feedback to anyone wanting some asap!
We have also started a discord channel for Echo Audio Productions for this project and many more manga and video game dubs going forward. Feel free to join the server to keep up to date on this project as well as be the first to find out about more projects in the future! We do have a designated server already for this project since it was already active before I took over, so if you are cast I will send you a link to that one as well.
Last but not least, thank you for taking the time to check out my project and we are looking forward to hearing your auditions!

Thank you all for the amazing auditions we've received. We could not be more happy with the amount of talent that has auditioned across our projects this last month. That said, we are a bit behind on casting due to the amount of auditions but we are in the final stages with each project now, so thank you all for your patience! I am also going through and making a list of everyone that is wanting feedback for their auditions since I know a lot of people asked already. If you have and haven't received any yet it's just because of how busy we've been. I'm planning to start getting through my feedback list this coming week though! So if you haven't listed you'd like feedback on your audition(s) and you would, feel free to let me know and I'd be happy to add you to my list! Thank you all again so much for the amazing auditions and to those that don't get cast, please don't get down, the competition was very high for a lot of the roles, and we would love for you to try out again for future projects! Anyone who isn't already on our discord server is also welcome to join there for updates on new roles available, to try for extras and minor roles and to be updated right away when new casting calls come up, since there will be some series that will regularly have new ones running! https://discord.gg/tgUaqB6wax
Shogo is the leading role of this manga. He grew up loving the FF franchise and was overjoyed to finally be able to become a game developer with Square Enix when he graduated. However he ends up somehow being transported to this world that is identical to FF except the people there don't seem to see things differently.
He starts off very confident in himself since he believes he's just in a video game. Until he realizes it's far from, after a tragic event takes place.
He grows a lot through the story, having to pick his broken self back up and strive to become stronger to help his friends and team.
I don't have a specific voice in mind for him, other than more of a stereotypical male protagonist type voice. Nothing overly deep or too high. Feel free to try out whatever you think might fit though!
I bet they can do more! It's final fantasy for cryin' out loud! The whole world is waiting!!!
Things are tough in the grown-up world. Not only are they a different division, I have my own work to do...
Games are all about being observant! Look hard, study hard, think hard, and search hard! You can always find a way to beat a game!
Actually... Where am I...? Who are you people...
Moogles, cure spells, chocobos and lalafells...! Is this for real?! Am I really in the world of final fantasy?!?! The actual final fantasy...?!?!?!
Mahlwon?? Catters?? I don't know these names...!!!!!
Rei is the warrior of the group and the strongest and most fierce fighter on the team. She is a no nonsense fighter and doesn't like putting her team at risk over gambles.
For her voice I picture a stronger sounding womans voice, more on the deeper side.
Anyway... Seems he's alive... Unfortunately!
Must be outta mp... She just can't leave an injured person unhealed...
They all set their sights high.. but the weaklings just bite the dust.
They're hoodlums we've barely just met and know nothing of! I've been telling you that we're burdened enough as is...
Duston is the black mage of the group. Although being a mage he is extremely large and fearsome looking. He is a bit more easy going than Rei.
For his voice I picture a stronger deep voice, although a bit more casual side, to match his appearance.
Hmm, I s'pose that's true! Unfortunately!
Oh, right. The reason I said "unfortunately" was because I saw this coming... I didn't mean I wasn't happy you were all right. Hope there's no hard feelings!
Well... we're... near the town of Nylpo, I guess?
Uh... what's this "lalahell" and "mekotay" stuff you've been going on about, huh? Care to explain? (Don't worry too much about the pronunciations as he isn't supposed to be saying the actual words right anyways)
We sure picked up an odd fella... But then again...
I cannot condone associating with this unknown fellow any longer! I want no part in these shenanigans.
Randolph starts off seeming like an antagonist towards Shogo but eventually he grows to respect him. He is a very strong and noble adventurer and puts the safety of his team above all else, even his own life, and he despises anyone who puts peoples lives at risk by being careless.
I picture a mid-deeper toned voice but am open for interpretations. I would like him to sound almost a bit arrogant though, with a sense of superiority. But also with a noble quality too if possible.
You people are fools!
You were correct to seek aid. However why did you then choose to fight alone?
I can't stand people who don't know their own limits... especially when they end up causing someone's death!!! Losing a life because of some imbecile's foolish actions... is something that should never happen!!
Speak!! Why did you do something so stupid?!?!
I apologize for their rudeness. In fact, your actions deserve praise... Your choice of foe was truly correct...
On this occasion, I wish to express my respect for your actions! Even the best heroes were once newbies. You have reminded me of that fact.
N'elute is one of Randolph's team mates and is also very in love with him. She starts off being incredibly rude and sarcastic to all the MC's but eventually ends up begging them for help, desperately and extremely grateful to them afterwards.
She is a Miqo'te, which is a type of cat person, so I would like to be able to hear that quality come out in her voice. Otherwise, I picture a more medium to medium high tone for her but am totally up for different interpretations on that.
Yeah, yeah, what randolph said. Why would you be so reckless?
If we first-class adventurerers hadn't stepped in, you might have been totally wiped ouuuut. Too bad that dragon ran off before we could really get started, though. Perhaps our presence was just that much more powerful than yours? Nya-ha-ha-ha-ha!
Nya-ha-ha! You're even cool when you get angry, Randolph! Heyyyy, when will you marry me? I've been waiting for ages, you know!
The AI will be serving to read all of the informational text throughout the game. Because Shogo is in a game, when he looks at things a screen pops up with information about that object, location etc. I would like a voice to kind of mimic an informational AI for those parts throughout the series.
I do not have any specific voice in mind for this so feel free to try whatever you think will fit!
Grilled Trout... A fresh princess trout sprinkled with salt and grilled over an open flame: Princess trout... Table Salt...
Juice freshly squeezed from apples grown only in Nylpo: Nylpo Apple... Drinking this increases mental power.
Bomb Fragment: A small fragment from a bomb-type monster. A light impact will cause it to explode
