Hajime No Ippo Abridged
Project Overview
EPISODE 4 CASTING - AUDITIONS CONCURRENT w/ BEHIND THE VOICE ACTORS
Now, DISCLAIMER, this series is developed at MY LEISURE. It is a NON-PROFIT fan based parody. What does that mean? Your boy here has a daytime job that takes precedent. Once you are a part of the cast it could be weeks to months before you receive lines for the next episode (however long it takes for me to complete a script). Also, production on this series could cease at any point, but as of right now it's going strong, with plans and preliminary treatments done for several future episodes. EPISODE 4 IS ALREADY WRITTEN SO YOU WILL RECEIVE YOUR LINES AS SOON AS CASTING CLOSES.
WHAT YOU NEED:
- A QUALITY microphone (w/ pop filter highly recommended)
- A vaild email to which I can send you lines if you are cast.
- To watch the first three episodes of the Abridged series. This'll give you a thorough understanding of what you're getting yourself into. The humor is lewd and the dialogue can border on offensive at times. Mothers will blush.

Episode 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pK1GYXUU6_k
Episode 3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GAWDEw7CtAA
- To have some knowledge of the source material. It's a great series, and I don't know why you'd bother abridging it if you haven't seen it already.
- To have fun. If you're not having fun you will be spanked.
WHAT YOU GET (if cast):
- Credit and a link to your Youtube channel (or other account of choice) in the video description
- Preference in auditioning for additional future roles. You will be emailed shortly before casting opens to prepare early.
- Some other third thing.
Any questions? Feel free to ask in the comments below, and I'll get to them as promptly as I can. Best of luck to everyone auditioning!

Voice: Give me your best Mojo-Jojo (Powerpuff Girls) impression and slap in a little Asian accent.
We most certainly do NOT relate! For I am the superior boxer. And if I am the superior and we both relate that would mean you are superior too. And you are most certainly not superior, for I am the superior of the two. Haha! (This should be read like a long run-on sentence)
I work myself everyday until I've mastered something. I ignore the fatigue and the pain, and just focus on what I'll become when it's all over.
I've got to end this now. For honor. For daddy!!!
Voice: He has a lisp and sounds alittle light in the loafers. A stark contrast to his son.
Hey, sweetie. How's boxing practice going?
Good, good. And how's that cute little track suit I knitted for you working out?
Aw. It's so nice to see these two young men bonding over a sport they both love.
Voice: When voicing the first 3 episodes, I went with something young and nerdy. You have the freedom to try anything here, just keep it in the spirit of the original character. Impersonate the English/Japanese dub if you wish. Just make sure its amazing or else Im taking the character back. And lord knows nobody wants to hear more of my nasally nonsense.
When I hit that punching bag with everything I had, I never felt so strong before. I've been taking a beating from all sorts of mean people my entire life. And now for once, I finally feel like I can fight back.
Oh man, I'm so nervous! It feels like my heart is gonna leap out of my chest.
DART AND DASH! FINISH STRONG! I... AM STRONG!!!
Demo 1 (optional)
If I give you a suggestion you can reaudition here (optional)
If you're a big fan of the original show. Feel free to do impressions of characters who are not listed in this casting call. Just state who you are doing beforehand. (optional)
Voice: Im looking for the most cheerful, archetypical Australian explorer accent you got. Try eating barbeque shrimp beforehand to get in character.
Ippo. Ippo, mate! You gotta give 'em the old one-two fistaroo like I showed ya!
I keep an eye out for all my wallabies. Now quit stalking the sheila and get to the gym before you're late for training.
(Improvise some Australian phrases here. Have fun with it, mate.)
Voice: You can try something gravelly like I did in the first 3 episodes, but you have the freedom to try anything here. Its a very surreal one-liner character, so have fun with him.
Quit joking around, Ippo. We're your best friends Aoki and Kimura.
I have a gambling addiction!
(Improvise if you'd like here)
Voice: Think about the most typical anime cool guy you can and give that a try. I'm also leaning towards a Matthew McConaughey impression for him. Do that in the third slot, or the entire audition if you'd like.
Oh, that Takamura. Always great with the kids and only mildly abusive.
I taught him that dance.
(Reserved for Matthew McConaughy impression, alright? Alright. Alright...)
Voice: I butchered a Patrick Star impression with him. Perhaps you can do better? Or try something else if you like.
Hey there. I'm Mr. Yagi and I'll be your instructor today.
(sobbing and yelling) Nobody tells me anything!!!
(is this the Krusty Krab?) NO. This is Yagi.
Voice: Nicholas Cage impression. Get on it, scrubs.
Well call me Ghost Rider, there's Ippo! Haven't seen that twerp in ages. Come on let's get him!
He tore of our nipples! How am I supposed to breast feed my child without any nipples?!
(Reserved for Nicholas Cage impression. If you don't know what lines to do here, you must be new to the internet.)
Takamura.
Voice: I have no preference here. Go ahead and impersonate the English dub or do whatever else you like.
The name's Fuji. I'm with "Boxing Fan Monthly".
Speaking of blunts, care for one?
Blow me.
Voice: The gruffest, gravelliest old man voice you got. Feel free to impersonate the English dub.
Oh, I'm sorry. Was that your first taste of locker room culture? Sorry you grew up such a nerd!
My goodness kid, that form is atrocious! And your technique is completely immature. We need to start over from scratch. Starting tomorrow we're gonna tear you down and build up bigger and better than ever, so get READY!
He's a good kid. He really is. But don't go telling the other guys that, they'll think I'm going soft.
