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. The Inazuma casting call may be found here.
UPDATE: DEADLINE EXTENDED TO MARCH 18TH.
DEADLINE: MARCH 1ST!! The deadline on CCC is NOT accurate!
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.
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. No hard feelings, but I am ESPECIALLY picky about having good audio quality as this will be the new main priority of the channel. 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 and dismissing your submission. If you need my reasoning for this: I need to know and trust that you'll be able to follow 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!
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/cussing, or even saying insulting words such as but not limited to: "bastard, hell, damn, b*tch, etc." I'm not sure if we will 100% have anything like this in our stories, but as a precaution, please do not audition AT ALL if you are not okay with any of these. A LOT of comics I have gathered DO say these cuss/swear words so once again, PLEASE do not audition if you will not be comfortable saying them!
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. Good audio quality is a MUST. The team and I will be a lot more pickier with audio quality for this project. Please no muffled audio, echos, white noise, static, etc. I may make exceptions here and they if they are really minor or not noticeable, but if they are VERY noticeable I'm afraid I won't be able to. Unfortunately, auditions that do not fulfill this requirement may be dismissed. If that is the case, you're more than welcomed to resubmit.
13. PLEASE READ THE LINES AS THEY ARE! If it really seems like there was a grammatical error or something, you may contact me. Perhaps it may be something I accidentally missed(for some reason my brain auto correct everything so sometimes I miss these things no matter how many times I go over them), but most of these lines are written with intention. For example, Yun Jin's "methinks" line WAS INTENDED!
14. 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 the finalized talents. Not submitting a callback after a certain amount of time and no communication tells us you are no longer interested in the role, and therefore we may go with someone else.
- A callback may also be me contacting you because I think your voice may fit what I am looking for for another character. If you don't submit a callback for the character(s) I requested, you will still be considered for the other character(s) you auditioned for. You just won't be considered for the character(s) I requested because if you don't submit a submission for the requested character(s) then that probably means you just aren't interested in them.
- If a character has [Callbacks in progress] in the name, it means I have contacted certain talents for a callback, but it DOES NOT MEAN auditions are closed and the character has already been casted. You may still submit an audition! BUT if the CASTING CALL says [Casting in Progress] then late submissions unfortunately can no longer be considered as this means I have already sent the list of talents to my casting team.
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. There should be more than enough time to get your audition if that is what you may worried about, as the deadline for this casting call will be in March.
- 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.
- Characters marked with a "⭑" mean they have more content/lines to be part of. A lot of the comics I found feature characters with "⭑" the most, so I am going to be a LOT more picky with castings for these characters.
- 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 exception is accepting writers, comic editors, and artists early.
**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.

IF A CHARACTER YOU WOULD LIKE TO AUDITION FOR IS NOT HERE, THEY MOST LIKELY HAVE BEEN CASTED ALREADY OR 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 Sumeru, and possibly the Fatui Harbingers + Abyss characters together as well. Inazuma characters are currently out now. I don't know when I will make casting calls for these characters 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.
