"BRUTALLY TRANSLATED, HUH?!"
Yeah...I wanted to try out an idea I had after watching the 'Explainer Video' and thought:
"Hey, I wonder if this would work with an Anime?"
With a few hours of retyping scripts (and going overboard with the translations) I have ended up on Casting Call Club in order to personally witness how well the end result does.
Nothing more, nothing less!
"WHAT IS 'BRUTALLY TRANSLATED'?"
Just watch this: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5719c2 and You'll get the idea. Mix it with Anime and VOILA: Brutally Translated.
"WHY CALL IT 'BRUTALLY TRANSLATED'?"
Have you ever seen those bootleg films dubbed by third-party companies? They always mess up somehow. Whether it's in translations or subtitles, they always mess it up. However, it's funny to listen to as an english viewer.
So, considering I am using an anime series; a language translator and the original subtitles or dub of the series, it sounds pretty brutal to the dialogue, doesn't it? That's where the name 'Brutally Translated' comes from.
"THE LINES MENTIONED ON THE ROLE LIST LOOK REALLY WEIRD..."
HAHAHA~ that's the point!
"OKAY, WELL HOW DO YOU WANT THE ACTORS TO PERFORM THE LINES?"
Alright, just imagine you wanted your friend to buy you something to drink, but instead of:
"Hey, man. Could you buy me a drink?"
It came out like this:
"Hey, Mango. Colour my bearded man-drinker."
See? it obviously sounds foolish but the way it's been said is similar to the first example.
THAT'S HOW!
This idea is supposed to be a fun one. Don't take it too seriously but do not forget your voice acting skills!
It sounds hillarious when it's believable!
"ARE YOU GOING TO DUB ALL OF THE EPISODES?"
Maybe...Annnnd maybe not. I really want to keep these videos short and funny. Rather than dubbing all of the episodes (20 minutes for all), I want to do 1 episode (unless asked for more) under 10 minutes. That way, I can create more without 'dragging the humor' along with it.
By dragging the humor, I mean ruining it. haha.
"OOH~ WAIT! WHERE CAN I WATCH BRUTALLY TRANSLATED?!"
We have a Dailymotion: http://www.dailymotion.com/bootlegdubs
And a YouTube Channel (However, copyright may block videos in your location): https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTQYESHGzH3X-owJ5loq7sg
When a Brutally Translated video is finished, they will definitely be posted there.
You can watch our first episode here: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5719c2 or here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pH5YHIGCWkY
Anyways, I hope I've answered your questions.
I look forward to hearing all of your auditions!
P.S: I would like to give credit to TheThirdGathers: https://www.youtube.com/user/TheThirdGathers for this idea.
Although the channel is inactive, I will always give credit where credit is due!
There's been some problems. From voice actors going quiet and a long duration of time without updating the project, I feel it's best if I put it on hold or cancel it altogether. I apologize for the wait and I also want to thank everyone who auditioned and got back to me within a reasonable time.

VOCAL RANGE: MEDIUM LOW - MEDIUM
Despite being part of nobility, Heivia displays a brash personality that earned him a reputation as a "delinquent soldier".
Still, he treats Milinda with respect, and can sometimes be seen doing more tactful things which are oftentimes misunderstood.
He acts very cowardly and tries to run away from fights until Qwenthur convinces him to fight, and constantly gets scolded by Froleytia with Quenser for disobeying orders or engaging in disorderly conduct.
Although he often looks at Qwenthur's unusual tactics with pessimism, he is able to act calmly in tense situations and display good coordination with him when needed.
Heivia has been described by Qwenthur as someone who has plenty of negative opinions, but is good at viewing a situation rationally (when it means saving his own skin), something Qwenthur is thankful for.
This also might be the reason they work well as a team.
As stated by the Wiki.

Qwenthur is usually carefree and can also be somewhat perverted, as shown by his discussion with Heivia about Froleytia's breast size.
He can be sly, serious and very smart when the situation warrants it. He is kind and hates leaving people to fend on their own, as shown when he went out to rescue Milinda on his own because no one else was willing to do that, because they knew that their enemy could be trying to use her to trap them.
Qwenthur has been described by himself as someone who has plenty of positive opinions, but is bad at seeing the risk when he thinks he has a way of winning, which makes Qwenthur thankful of Heivia's personality.
This also might be the reason they work well as a team.
Qwenthur is a tech nerd/geek, and he's propense to getting excited at the chance of looking and/or examining any advanced technology or mechanism, especially those related to Objects.

She is described by Qwenthur as a "kind but weird girl" who still believes in morale and good-luck charms despite the lack of need due to how battles are usually fought in the Second World.
After becoming friends with Qwenthur, Milinda displays signs of jealousy when seeing him with another woman.
She has a somewhat sheltered view of the world beyond piloting an Object.
She's not interested in using her femininity or sex appeal to get male attention, and she didn't know what a swimsuit was when she went swimming in Oceania, fully intending to swim using her water-resistant Elite suit and completely oblivious to Qwenthur and her bodyguard unit's shock.
