SUMMARY
Hello, I’m SilverEzekial, one of the lead creators in FunyarinpaFoundation. Our channel is a variety channel on YouTube, that specializes in content from streaming, to highlights, and even scripted parody videos. This is a casting call for an abridging project that I plan to lead mostly solo. As such, I’m looking for extra voice actors to add to our ranks and have a lot of fun with.
SHOW SYNOPSIS
Gundam 00 follows the story of four gundam pilots and their support crew. In a world built around a shaky peace deal between three major powers, our heroes plan to end war in the world with giant robotic weapons. They personally plan to intervene and stop all escalations of war within their scope. How will this plan shake out? Are they doomed to failure through the hypocritical nature of their mission? Let's find out together.
Expectations if cast
Decent microphone quality and etiquette
No noise, static, pops, or echos

Role in Show: Straight man

Lockon is the squadron leader of the Gundam Meisters. As such he is required to keep a calm and level head which can often be difficult with his fellow pilots. He is a long range expert and skilled marksman, preferring to take out his targets from afar.
Scene: The other Gundam Meister’s are at each other’s throats. Lockon is caught between them and tries to diffuse the situation
Lockon: (Awkward Hesitant Laughter) Why don’t we all just call it a night here and head home… We have more work to do tomorrow.
Lockon is upset at Setsuna for going off mission (again) and is trying to reign him in.
Lockon: Setsuna, we’ve talked about this! You can’t keep running off!
Lockon shifting blame onto Setsuna, to avoid the wrath of an angry Sumeragi
Lockon: Listen boss, I had to intervene. If I didn't, Setsuna would have been killed.
Role in Show: Shock humor / exaggerated foil
Voice Range: Mid to mid-high. Voice Inspiration - Ishigami (Kaguya Sama Love is War)
Allelujah is split into two personalities due to experimentation from a young age. His main personality, Allelujah, is much more calm and depressing in nature. While his alternate personality, Hallelujah, is more concerned with what he is killing next. The two will trade places constantly in the show. So his delivery will change depending on the line.
Allelujah is talking with himself, Hallelujah, about if they should save the civilians trapped in a space station. Allelujah is struggling with making himself help these people and is taking the situation seriously. Hallelujah is excited to see what the event looks like.
Allelujah: We have to do something, otherwise these people are going to crash into the earth..
Hallelujah: Or… We don’t. That sounds like something I want to watch. (Excited laughter)
Hallelujah is having a heated argument with Allelujah about how many people they’ve killed being a Gundam pilot.
Hallelujah: They’re going to come after us again and again and again! So what’s wrong with thinning the herd just a little bit?
Allelujah is trying to be supportive of a fellow pilot for taking uncomfortable steps, while using the moment to lower his own self confidence.
Allelujah: Don’t worry buddy… You’ll get better. Don’t be like me… Always tied down to the past. Yeah, I’m really uncool. Don’t be like me.
Role in Show: Oblivious straight man.
Voice Range: Mid to mid-hi. Voice Inspiration - Saiki Kusuo (Saiki K)
Tieria is an artificial human which is very evident in the way he interacts with the other gundam pilots. He will always be straight to the point and deliver lines with little excitement. He often will cause unintended friction amongst the others due to this nature. He is completely devoted to the mission and its success will always take priority.
Tieria is concerned about the status of the mission after Setsuna has refused to follow orders and Allelujah has caused massive collateral damage.
Tieria: Our mission effectiveness is hampered by these two. They need to be eliminated to ensure success.
Tieria fails to understand regular human thought process as every time he uses his Gundam’s slowest attack people just refuse to move.
Tieria: I do not understand why they do not dodge.
Experiencing emotions for the first time, Tieria tries to keep his composure after hearing a joke from a crew member. Imagine trying to keep on topic while someone interrupts with a very stupid joke and the light breath and pause you have to make to contain yourself.
Tieria: Allelujah, it is understandable that Setsuna would have reservations about… Invading his home country.
Voice Range: Mid to Mid-Low. Voice inspiration - Mitsuru Kirijo (Persona 3)
She is the very temperamental and foul mouthed strategist and leader of Celestial Being. She will often take out frustrations of failed plans on the team. She will often give more work to those that disappoint her. Sometimes it seems like she is trying to get certain members killed.
The gundam meisters have hit a snag and may possibly complicate the mission. Sumeragi is very upset by this, and takes it out on the pilots.
Sumeragi: I swear! If you two screw this up I’m taking those gundams and shoving them straight up your ass!
Sumeragi is playing coy, asking about how the mission is going while watching it go very poorly on her monitors.
Sumeragi: So, Lockon? How’s the mission going? Oh? It’s going swell you say? Then tell me dear… Why is Setsuna thirty miles away from the area of operations?
Sumeragi is at her wit's end. Completely taken aback by something that just happened, one of the few times she is stammering and confused.
Sumeragi: How was I supposed to plan for this? Who could have possibly thought this dumbass would make that idea work? I didn’t expect him to come out of that alive!
Voice Range: Mid to Mid-High. Voice inspiration - Denki (My Hero Academy)
Ace pilot of the Union, tasked with leading an anti-gundam taskforce. He is very energetic and passionate about flying. As he continues to engage Celestial Being and their gundams, he becomes increasingly obsessed with their capture or destruction.
Graham is talking to his friend and coworker about the design of the Gundams.
Graham: Those particles are interesting. It seems it allows them to attack, defend, and is the key to their movement. If we can figure that out, we can design my FLAG to fight back.
A battle is taking place between him and a Gundam. At this point he is starting to get more passionate about their capture.
Graham: I finally found you Gundam! You better be ready to fight, because you won’t be getting away this time!
Graham is concerned about seeing a young child near a warzone. But not sure how to communicate with him.
Graham: Hey little buddy… It's pretty dangerous out here. How about we go find your parents and get you out of here… U-unless you know… they died here… at this battle… That didn’t happen did it?
Voice Range: Low. Russian Accent.
Veteran military commander. Often very stern and has little tolerance for shenanigans. He leads another anti-gundam taskforce and has been the closest to capturing one of the gundams. He is one of the key players from the HRL.
Sergei is getting a new recruit who is an artificial super soldier. He doesn’t agree with this and shows concern about the concept.
Sergei: Do I have to worry about their mental state? I have heard about the… stability of these super soldiers.
In this scene Sergei is arguing with a scientist. This is in the middle of a very heated argument.
Sergei: I am starting to question this! Why do you think that is an EGG?!
Voice Range: Mid-High to High. Voice Inspiration - Elliot Craig (Trails of Cold Steel)
Saji is a young student studying engineering in Japan. He wishes for more excitement in his life and longs to live through events that will make history. He fills the role of the everyman, and shows the audience another look into the events in the show. Saji is in a romantic relationship with Louise Halevy.
Saji is lamenting about how boring his life and class is. He’s wishing for something to happen within his life to bring him excitement.
Saji: I’m just tired of reading about old events. For once I just want to be living through something… not hearing about it.
Saji is exhausted from having to deal with his crazy neighbor and is overall fed up with them.
Saji: Yep, that settles it. I’m calling the landlord.
Louise has embarrassed Saji in public and he’s trying to regain his composure.
Saji: L-Louise! No listen, I promise it makes sense in context. It's not as bad as she made it sound.
Voice Range: High.
Louise is a transfer student with a very bubbly personality. She is much more outgoing than many of her friends and will often push Saji into taking steps outside of his comfort zone. She has a very positive outlook on life and tries hard to not let anything happening in the world bring her down.
Louise is trying to convince Saji to introduce her to his friends. She is also trying to see if he has… any friends other than her.
Louise: Saji, come on. You have to have some friends right? You can’t just hang around me.
A member of Louise’s family is getting married in her home country so she is seeing Saji at the airport. She is trying to tease him into proposing as well.
Louise: Don’t worry Saji, I’ll be back after the wedding. Besides, I am fully prepared to come back here after catching the bouquet. Better have something ready for me when I come back.
