DEADLINE: AUGUST 20TH. HOWEVER, any other roles open after that point of in time are still available to audition until August 25th. Please do not slate/introduce yourself (hi my name is (name) I’m (age), etc.) in your auditions. Super important that auditions remain blind for the casting team. If you wish to include this information about yourself that is fine but please do in the notes of your audition! Please also do not include OTHER in-game voice lines for the character you are auditioning for unless they’re at the very end of the audition lines. Please and thank you so much!
Other Sumeru characters that are not here such as Dori, Layla, Nilou, etc. will be on another casting call. I was going to put them on this one, but I haven’t found very many comics with them in it and I don’t want to waste the time of their future VAs to just have them do one or two lines and then have to wait again for more work.
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!
Important Information/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. Sometimes things just happen; I just ask that you contact me and do not leave me hanging! I've just had issues in the past with unprofessionalism/trolls, but if you need or wish to no longer participate, please just let me know. I will never force anyone to stay as that is not right, telling me helps me out and allows me make necessary arrangements to recast the character ahead of time.
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. Submitting 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 will help a LOT. "Takes" in the voice acting field means "repeating the line". AABBCC/AAABBBCCC format is just doing line 1 [all takes], line 2 [all takes]) If you do not do this, then the casting team and I will not be able to have a good idea of your acting abilities, as well as get a better idea of how everything sounds all together. The casting team will not be looking through your profile, so this will help a ton, especially when we are giving feedback for callbacks. If there are inconsistencies with the voice then multiple takes will help us get a better idea of suggestions for you to improve on in a callback. Not submitting multiple takes DOES NOT mean your audition is rejected.
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, or other ways to contact you like email! I would appreciate it if you didn't include your phone number because I will not contact talents through phone number, and have no intentions of ever doing so. 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. 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. If you prefer to keep this information private, I totally understand that. If that is the case, please try to audition one of our other ways here.
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. We are only human after all, and if it is an emergency I will ask someone else on the server to cover for you so that you do not have to stress as I understand everyone has a lot on their plate and outside obligations! 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. 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(especially for NON-Genshin Impact characters as the team and I are not as picky on audio for other projects) and they if they are really minor or not noticeable because I want to give everyone a chance, 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. 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. Honestly it's just a bit of an introduction about you as a person because there is more to you than your voice. BUT, I will NEVER force you to get into too much detail about yourself if that makes you uncomfortable. Although the interview is scripted, there ARE other discussion topics you may use if you don't want to give too much information about yourself. The internet is a very dangerous place so I get it, and that is why I have provided topics for those who are uncomfortable. I honestly wanted to make this series so that it can encourage the audience to check out each out our voice talents and their work out! 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:
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.
- 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(and I will not force you to submit an audition for a character you are not interested in).
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 especially if audio quality is not the best it could be. 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 is still undecided. As soon as I find out and decide, I will update you all here.
- 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 fanbase following, and comments will never be playing a part in the casting decision.
- The deadline on CCC is NOT accurate, and rest assured, I DO NOT HAVE INTENTIONS TO CAST UNTIL THE OFFICIAL DEADLINE(this meaning I WILL NOT cast when we have found "the perfect match"). However, I might close off roles certain roles in the future if they have a lot of submissions in order to encourage auditions for characters with little to none (such as Garlan). IF I decide to take this path, I will update you all which character(s) these will be and their deadlines to audition. However, I will do my best to avoid doing this. However, I understand closing off auditions early means that not everyone will be able to audition in time. If this applies to you, PLEASE reach out and I will be more than happy to give an extension!
- 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 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.
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.
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 don't know when I will make casting calls for the remaining characters so if you'd like to follow me to be notified when I do post casting calls for them, 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.
