Free! - Fandub Club

Project Overview

Hey there everyone!

After one year of endless preparations, I present to you the official casting call for the Iwatobi Fandub Club (this casting call was published July 31, 2016, but created September 7, 2015). As seen, I will be opening auditions for a fandub of Free! Iwatobi Swim Club. This will not be a full series fandub. I am only dubbing scenes from the anime per cast, director, and audience choice of clips and scenes from both seasons as well as the OVAs and other special episodes. 

I'm looking for actors with:

- COMMITMENT
- CLEAR MIC
- EMOTION

I am quite new to CCC, but I have noticed the voting system. Although I believe votes are great for personal benefit and support, please do not be discouraged if someone has more votes than you. Each audition has a fair chance; I will be deciding based on whom I believe has the best voice, emotion, and potential for the role. When the cast is decided, I will be giving more indepth critique on how I wish the voice to be portrayed. Therefore, if I see in previous auditions or demo reels that you can display the right voice I'm looking for, no matter the audition, I will keep you in great consideration. I encourage everyone to submit a demo reel for the extras so I can truly see your range.

Once I have casted all my actors and actresses, I will then proceed to create a Skype group particularly for this project so please be sure to have a skype account! 

I look forward to listening to your auditions. Feel free to shoot me a PM if you have any questions. 

Auditions may also be sent to: [redacted]

  • IWATOBI FANDUB CLUB - CASTING CALL CLOSES AUG 5 @ 12AM PST

    Hi guys!

    The casting call for the Free! fandub group closes TONIGHT at 12 AM PST. If you are interested in auditioning for the group and are unable to make the deadline, please PM me before the casting call closes so I can give you the extension dates and add you to my waiting list. Unless we have discussed an extension, no futher auditions will be accepted after midnight. However, because there are a few people I will be waiting on past the deadline, only a few (perhaps even none) of the roles will be casted tomorrow. This is to give me a headstart with at least a few cast members before college starts up again while I collect the final auditions. If you see a role still not casted after Friday, it only means that I am still waiting on someone's audition for that character, thus they will not be casted until the voice actor has a fair chance. If you wish to audition for that open character, you should PM me sometime today. 

    Thank you all so much for the overwhelming amount of interest, talent, and enthusiasm around this project and I hope you are all as eager as I am to meet the cast of the Iwatobi Fandub Club! =D

  • "It was beautiful to watch four athletes swimming different styles in succession to complete a race together. I was specially impressed by how beautiful the form was when touching the wall. Personally, I think it's very important that your finish be beautiful, and this shows that athletes around the world feel the same way."
