Is it very important that you read through all of the rules and guidelines to understand what you may be signing up for! Please and thank you!
If you are looking for more roles to audition for, I have other open casting calls here and here. One of my assistants is also hosting their own casting call which may be found here
Who Are We?
Ceragon Dubs is a fandubbing group that is currently dubbing over Shall We Date? otome games by the company NTT Solmare. Some of these projects include Wizardess Heart, Lost Alice, and Blood In Roses. In the past, we had dubbed some Webtoon comics, however, due to Webtoon's Daily Pass introduction, they had to be cancelled. The current focus of the channel and production is bringing otome games to life by voice acting. Right now, in order to be able to monetize our videos we are trying to come with more original content such as fanfic readings, gaming videos, etc. I would like to wrap up some of the other dubs so that I can bring new dubs to the table!
**Please note: The production team and I have received permission to fandub these otomes from the corporation (NTT Solmare) itself.
DISCLAIMER: NONE OF THIS IS PAID! I wish I could pay you all, but I am a broke college student drowning in debt. I am not earning money from the channel, our Patreon, or even our ko-fi so unfortunately there will not be any payment. In the future, if this changes I DO hope to start paying everyone involved, but that's only if start earning money. NO PROMISES! Even then, I cannot promise the pay will be good as it depends on how much I am earning from Ko-Fi and Patreon-- plus there's over 100 VAs on the server.
Video above is the route series the emergency recast protagonist is from. I would recommend looking into the route for a better idea of her character and her interactions with the chosen love interest, especially if you are casted.
Rules/Auditioning Guidelines:
1. Before auditioning you must keep in mind these are all LONG TERM projects. So please, audition at your own risk. Deadlines for lines will usually be about 3-4 weeks, but may be more or less depending on when the lines are needed. On rare cases, if the lines assigned are an emergency the deadline may be shorter(deadlines would be 1-2 weeks in this case).
2. Because this will be long term, you will need to be dedicated to your role. If you are going to audition, get casted, then leave once lines have been assigned/are due, please do not audition. Likewise, if you are going to ghost me (going MIA which is missing in action) then please do not audition. If you need to leave because of personal circumstances, I DO understand. I just ask that you contact me and do not leave me hanging!
3. You will NEED a discord account. There are no exceptions. This is where our projects will be taking place, and how assignments will be given and received. Please understand that I will NOT be doing live direction/voice calls over discord due to personal circumstances and scheduling conflictions. If you specifically only want do to live readings, I'm sorry, but this is not the project for you.
4. All auditions submitted must be professional. (Examples, but are not limited to: outtatakes/messing up mid-line, people in the background, etc.) Auditions that do not meet this requirement will be dismissed. When you are doing your official lines, this will also be a requirement as well-- so in a way this is preparing you and letting you know what I expect ahead of time.
5. Submit 2-3 takes per line, each with different intonations in an AABBCC format(if you don't know what that means, then different line deliveries/emotions. "Takes" in the voice acting field means "repeating the line") If you do not do this, especially for a role that carries more responsibility and work, there is a high possibility we will not be considering you. If you need my reasoning for this: I need to know and trust that you'll read through instructions thoroughly(instructions will be sent in a long PDF file that explains how I'd like everything/letting you know specific information) when I assign lines to you. When lines are being sent out I require multiple takes, so this is also something you will be doing often.
6. Please be easy and professional to work with. All members in my team, whether it be staff members, your fellow VAs, myself, etc. must be respected. If I ask for retakes or ask you to submit things a certain way because it was done incorrectly, there is no need to be disrespectful and rude. I do not want to have to argue with you. Like you, I would also like to be respected. It is nothing personal, however, I would like to avoid this.
7. It would be helpful for you to include your discord + tag in the comments or notes of your audition. This will help the staff and I are ton when you are joining the server because we will know who you are and what roles to give you. If for some reason I am unable to contact you via Casting Call Club, I will have your discord account ready to contact. Understand that if you are not responsive on Casting Call Club and do not have some way for me to contact you outside of Casting Call, you will be recasted. Please do not message me your discord as I will miss your message due to having over 300+ unread notifications (for a more detailed explanation check the "about Sparkly6262" section under this casting call.
8. Auditioning for any of these roles means you understand that you must be on top of your work. Strikes will be issued for missing or late work, and I have the right to remove you from the project if you have met all of your strikes. However, extensions may always be granted as long as you ask me. I will not say no unless it is an emergency. If you also go MIA (missing in action)/unresponsive I have the right to remove you from the cast.
9. Due to the huge amount of characters that are in need of casting, you are allowed to audition for multiple characters. However, it goes without saying that it does not guarantee you'll be casted for any or all roles you audition for.
10. You will need to be comfortable with swearing, or even saying insulting words such as but not limited to: "bastard, hell, damn, etc." I'm not sure if we will 100% have anything like this in our stories, but as a precaution, please do not audition if you are not okay with any of these. The children characters will not be saying stuff like this though.
11. I don't know about the other writers, but I know I will be writing a ton of angst. So being comfortable in your acting ability range would help a huge ton!
12. Lastly, there is a mandatory interview for every VA. This series will be called "Meet the Cast." If you will not be comfortable with this, please do not audition. If you are curious to see what the series is about, the link will be here. The Meet the Cast will only be optional for behind the scenes crew, such as artists, editors, etc. if they are not comfortable to speak using their voice. But it will be mandatory for the voice cast.
Just as a heads-up to all auditions: if you selected to join the team, there is a high possibility I will be using your auditions as a "voice reveal" type of announcement on the channel. This series may be viewed here. The purpose of this series is to kind of "hype" up the project, you and your voice, and the character itself.
Callbacks:
I usually only do callbacks when the casting call has officially ended, however, in this case I will try to do callbacks sooner. That way everyone has a good amount of time to turn in their callback audition. If you do not know what a callback is, it means that the casting team or I enjoyed your audition, but would like to hear something different from you. Example of this could be a change of pitch, different line delivery, etc. Callbacks are very important as it will help the casting team and I decide who to cast out of our top picks. Not submitting a callback after a certain amount of time tells us you are no longer interested in the role, and therefore we may go with someone else.
Other Info:
- If you are sick, or getting a new set up, I would recommend you wait to send any and all auditions until you recover or until your new set up arrives. Otherwise, it may end up counting against you in the final selection.
- Voice lines are either from the game(some are tweaked to slightly avoid spoilers), manga, or from one of my fanfics/made up. Please proceed with caution as some may be spoilers!
- For most of the characters, I am looking to voice match in order to be as accurate to the game as possible. However, there will be some characters where I am open to interpretation/reccomend interpretation. For these ones, I will specifically list the voice types I'd like the character to have, or just say "open for interpretations." Even if your voice doesn't sound exactly like the examples given, that's ok! I will be taking both the voice and acting into consideration. Upvotes, your following, and comments will not be playing a part in the casting decision.
- Please do not audition if you are a strong advocate for a strong Genshin Impact ship/cannot respect someone's ship(especially the artist's ship). Many of you who are in the fandom know how toxic it can be, so if you cannot respect the work of an artist or writer we are dubbing the work of please do not audition.
- All characters are listed as minor/extra because it really depends on the amount of dialogue they have in the comics and fics we are dubbing over. some characters may be used often and some may not. it really just depends what the writing team and I have ideas for.
- Characters marked with a "⭑" mean they are more likely to be used by me for my fics, and therefore I am looking to cast sooner. Though the writing team may will be using other characters, in the end, I have to be the one supplying most of the fics so those marked with "⭑" are just characters I see myself using the most because of the ideas I have.
**All character info was taken from in-game profiles, voice lines, Genshin website, and the official Genshin Wiki. Though we are mostly doing audiobooks/fanfics, we are trying to keep to the character's original personalities and identities at the very least(unless there are AU's of course). I am trying to provide the bare minimum of information without containing spoilers for those who have not played the game or who aren't very far into it.
- This isn't a very important note, but more of a heads up: I will not be casting roles until the casting call officially ends. The only exceptions are for the Queen of Hearts and Sidd Rex's recasts, as well as the artists team.

IF A CHARACTER YOU WOULD LIKE TO AUDITION FOR IS NOT HERE, THEY WILL BE IN ANOTHER CASTING CALL! I am going to do them in rounds per region. The next casting call I make will be for Liyue characters, next Inazuma, then Sumeru, and possibly the Fatui Harbingers + Abyss characters together as well. I don't know when I will make casting calls for these characters (probably after I cast all of Mondstad's characters OR get more writers/fics done for the other regions) so if you'd like to follow me to be notified when I do post casting calls for the other regions, feel free to do so. Please do not message me asking "can you message me or let me know when you post auditions for the other characters" because I will definitely forget to do this.
