This is an English dub production of the third TV season of the series Free!, subtitled -Dive to the Future-. The first two seasons and four theatrical films that lead up to this have already been tackled by this team, and now we are aiming for the next piece! All returning characters are already cast and working, but new characters that show up still have to be cast! All 12 episodes have finished airing as of September 26th, and we've already released the first four episodes of this season, so we're just filling out the final pieces now! The OVA in particular has one more character we need to cast! (Trailer for the OVA is here!)
Notes:
With nearly 80 characters that needed to be cast this season, a few unfortunately had to drop out before their roles could be completed. We're not looking to recast these roles from the ground up to get this season closer to completion! Their recasting will be handled in the Anniversary Project auditions, opening today!
Episode 1 officially premiered today, with more on the way in the coming weeks! https://bit.ly/2Rt5oem
Update time! Episode 1 of season three, -Dive to the Future-, will officially premiere October 31st! Happy Halloween! While the movies will not be out yet, we’ll be releasing this first episode to make up for it! Episode 2 is completely done with recording except for four or so lines, so if we can’t get those delivered in time, @iwatobiboy will graciously sub in and we will update the episode when we can get the actual lines later! Episode 2 will premiere November 7th regardless! Episode 3 is completely finished with all recording, so it will premiere the following week, on November 14th! Episode 4 is in the same situation as Episode 2, so @iwatobiboy will once again sub in for a couple of lines and we will update the finished episode when those lines are delivered later! The episode will debut regardless on November 21st! Episode 5 has a little bit more work to do, so whether or not it will be released on the 28th or if we go on full hiatus, which is more likely, will be decided next month!
TLDR:
Episode 1 premieres October 31
Episode 2 (WIP) premieres November 7
Episode 3 premieres November 14
Episode 4 (WIP) premieres November 21
After 12 weeks, the season has finished airing, has been fully scripted, and all characters that need to be cast up to the end are on the page! We've been incredibly lucky with casting on this season, and all major new roles are filled out and in progress! At this time, Episode 1 is fully finished and just waiting on the music materials to finalize the mix and be released, as is Episode 3! Episodes 2, 4 and 6 are just waiting on one or two actors each before they're done! We'll see you in October for the season premiere! (Relate dates for Episodes 2+ to be set later due to actor availability mentioned before.)
Episode 1 is officially finished with casting and already mostly complete! The episode is set to premiere this October when music materials are received. 5 new roles have now been added that appear starting in the second episode, including some pretty important ones!
Voice Actor
Yamanaka only appears in the bonus Episode 0 prequel, but he has a lot of lines as he's a lead in the episode. He is an older, middle-aged man that does a lot of screaming and worrying throughout the episode. His staff are trying to return Iwatobi-chan, the mascot of their town, to its former glory, but they've lost his beak and panic.
That's going to be way too late! The first match will be over by then!
If I just didn't have a herniated spinal disc-- Ahh!
We're going to do everything in our power to find the beak and a substitute actor before the tournament!
Voice Actor
Kasahara is a mostly deadpan and serious young adult. Part of Yamanaka's staff, they're trying to return Iwatobi-chan, the mascot of their town, to its former glory, but they've lost his beak and panic. Due to his fear, he's unable to stand in for their late actor.
Uh, I have a fear of wearing mascot costumes, so I can't.
We need to know, do you have a fear of wearing mascot costumes?
It might be just me, but you seem like you're jealous...
Voice Actor
Though she doesn't have a name in the episode, this character plays a major part in her short appearance. Extremely cute and energetic, she's part of Yamanaka's staff, and they're trying to return Iwatobi-chan, the mascot of their town, to its former glory, but they've lost his beak and panic.
I was pretty sure this was where the truck had passed by... but it's not here now...
More importantly, do you like Iwatobi-chan?!
It's only for the first round, so please do this for us! We promise, just one round is all we're asking!
Voice Actor
She is the new manager-in-training for team Iwatobi. She has a very high, light voice and is a bit quiet.
Note: There will be 20 minutes of new content for this project every week until the end of September. If you can't be sure you will be available for the entire project it would be better to not audition for this role as deadlines must be met.
Uh... I'm really not interested in muscles...
If I had to choose, I'd probably go for someone a little more chunky...
Voice Actor
Born in New York, formally from Tokyo, Romio is a new high school first-year on Team Iwatobi! He has a youthful voice, is a bit goofy, and has lots of energy. Not much else is known about him.
Note: There will be 20 minutes of new content for this project every week until the end of September. If you can't be sure you will be available for the entire project it would be better to not audition for this role as deadlines must be met.
That brings back memories!
You see, technically I was born in New York! But to me, Tokyo is always home!
The All-Japan Invitational?
Voice Actor
Not much is known about the personality of this Team Iwatobi first-year just yet as these are the only individual lines he's had so far in two episodes. From what can be seen, he's an average sixteen-year-old. He has a deeper register than Romio, but obviously should still sound appropriate.
Note: There will be 20 minutes of new content for this project every week until the end of September. If you can't be sure you will be available for the entire project it would be better to not audition for this role as deadlines must be met.
So cool!
So when are we going to get to ride Chappy the camel?
Uh... R-Right!
Voice Actor
An older man who used to live in Japan and is now back in Australia. (Accent is not needed.) He's a little eccentric, but wiser than he seems. Not much else is known about him yet.

Wil here has told me all about you.
Well, those are some pretty nice muscles there!
(Shouting) Yes, Rin! Cho-very good!
Voice Actor
Not much is known about this character as he has barely spoken. From his minor appearance so far, he's thought to be a scout or coach by the others. He's a bit gruff and unkempt, but seems to be well meaning.
Pronunciation note: Shimo = She-mo
Note: There will be 20 minutes of new content for this project every week until the end of September. If you can't be sure you will be available for the entire project it would be better to not audition for this role as deadlines must be met.
Shimo U... has a LOT of unique athletes. If you want their supporters, they're right over there.
Hey kid, why do you only swim freestyle?
Is that... really all you want to do?
Voice Actor
She'll be an important recurring character in the series. The spunky and energetic sister of Seijuro and Momo, she's not only a tomboyish gamer but also the captain of the Hidaka High School Swim Team. A main character in episode nine where she debuts, she's both fun and a little weird, just like her brothers!
Pronunciation note: Isuzu Mikoshiba = Ee-soo-zoo Me-ko-she-ba
Swimming and fighting games are the two things I live for most in the world!
Oh-ho! So who do we have up next, then? Isuzu Mikoshiba will take care of you no matter who you are over there!
Have you already forgotten just how much pocket change I've already sunk into this?
Voice Actor
Asahi's older sister. She's taken over the family business while caring for her son. She should still sound youthful, and is fairly energetic.
Note: She first appears in the prequel film as a teenager. She only has three or four lines before she appears here as an adult, married with a child and running a restaurant. You will be voicing both versions of her, and she will likely appear throughout the season, so if you can't commit to being here for the whole thing, like the other roles, it might be better to not audition as deadlines must be met.
(Shouting) Shut up, stupid Asahi!
Of course, you're still going to have to pay for it, though.
You're sounding like a couple of grandpas, save that talk for fifty years from now.
Voice Actor
Akane's husband, Kon, who works as a sports writer. He's soft spoken and kind. Not expected to be a large role but will at least be a small recurring role, though he only first appears in Episode 6 of 12.
He was a very promising competitive swimmer on the global level.
I wonder why Ryuji was wandering around Taka U...
Well, speak of the devil.
Voice Actor
Sosuke's attentive older relative who plans to take over the family restaurant. Requires a deep, masculine sounding voice, though he shouldn't sound like an old man as he's in his twenties. Not much else is known yet.
Note: There will be 20 minutes of new content for this project every week until the end of September. As it is possible he will appear throughout the season, if you can't be sure you will be available for the entire project it would be better to not audition for this role as deadlines must be met.
Oh, are you writing a letter? Did I interrupt?
Well, don't worry about the family or anything. Just let me handle the restaurant.
It'll be MY restaurant. I'll call it "Restaurant Kazuma."
Voice Actor
New teammate of one of the main characters. Hes kind, and has a mid to deep voice. Not much else is currently known about him.

Mikoshiba-senpai's style is ultimately all about power.

Pronunciation note: Okhotsk = Oh-kot-sk
This guy here... Everybody calls him the King Salmon of the Okhotsk.
(Nervous) R-Right!
Voice Actor
One of the swimmers on Team Shimogami. While he's visually a "pretty boy" type, he's powerful, a bit arrogant, and if he's called by his nickname, he's ready to throw serious punches. Not much else is known about him.

Sure are a lot of strong competitors this year.
Don't you dare ever call me that again!
Wow, what a loser. Why would someone ever give themselves a crappy nickname like that?

One of the swimmers on Team Shimogami. Competitive, and not entirely nice to strangers. Not much else is known about him.

Woah. Another new record.
He's acting just as cold as ever, isn't he?
(Laughing) That nickname is definitely something you should never say in front of Terashima.
Voice Actor
One of the swimmers on Team Shimogami. He has a deeper voice and seems friendly. Not much else is known about him.
Note: There will be 20 minutes of new content for this project every week until the end of September. While this isn't a major role expected to come back often if at all, if you can't be sure you will be available for the entire project should he appear again it might be better to not audition as deadlines must be met.
Kirishima. Was everything okay yesterday?
It's a shame that's the only event you do since you swim so well.
What a waste of talent.
Voice Actor
Gou's best friend. Cute, energetic and bubbly. Recasting from the TV series version due to the small size of the role, and re-recasting due to scheduling conflicts. I'll need you to fill in her lines for the two Timeless Medley films as well as any lines this season, including the Episode 0 OVA that I will receive materials for somewhere between late September and late October. She also has a couple loud cheers/shouts that need to be possible.
Congratulations on advancing in the medley relay to nationals!
I'm really serious, I won't be surprised if they even win nationals at this rate!
Is Nanase-senpai going to be okay after that? Something seemed... kinda off about him during that race.
Voice Actor
One of Isuzu's gamer friends. Not a large role.
That guy... has been playing racing games like a pro here lately.
Nice maneuvering!

You really are still the best, Mikoshiba.
He's blocking all your hits!
Voice Actor
Misaki's friend and rival who transferred away in the prior movie, and appears finally in Episode 10 of the season. Only has a few lines at least now, so he's a minor role. As he's a child and voiced by an adult woman in the original, we're looking to go in a similar direction as we did with Misaki.
Thank you! You swam really great too, Misaki!
I'm really glad that we got to swim together again!
Voice Actor
Makoto's classmate in college. He's nice and has a light voice, but not much is known about him as he only has a few lines in the first episode (so far.)

That's what you have to do! It's fate, after all!
This is just how it has to be!
