A Battle Tendency Abridged! The explainer video shows a rough mockup of my humor, editing skills and voice acting. All of the voices were filler for the time being though, and I'll be casting all of these characters. Keep in mind, minor roles like Dio might become much bigger if I ever do a part 3 Abridged!
Snarky, conceited, but with a heart of gold. Joseph is totally in control of every single situation, having mapped the scene out with his superior intellect beforehand. There's always a little smirk on his face. However, sometimes he gets too cocky, and falls into a horrible situation that requires a bit of luck to escape.
Joestar. Joseph Joestar. You can call me Jojo
Yes, I have a plan, Smokey! Look at him! His body seems to be regenerating, but look at the state of his legs! They're still completely destroyed! That means that WE'LL use OUR legs....... To high-tail it outta here! RUN, SMOKEY! RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!
You. Why would you do that just now? What on Earth would compel a man to do that to another human being?
Smokey is a kind-hearted young man who's doing his best as a black teen in the 1940's. I'm only comfortable with black actors playing this role, so please don't audition with a "black voice" and expect a positive reaction. As far as his characteristics go, you can make him sound however you want. He's a little younger than Joseph, and a little quick to panic/scream.
This guy just beat up two cops, but he's worried about his GRANDMA?
(After being told to run by Joseph.) *Screams* Are you seeeeriousssssssssssss???
This is the story of the day I met the nicest, hottest dude in all of Brooklyn
Straizo is an elderly martial artist whose youth was restored by the vampiric curse. Now, he's hellbent on killing Joseph because he's just kind of a dick.
I have been given the gift of eternal life...
Wait, I blew a whole in his head! How is he still talking?
(Freeform joking to show you have a silly side.)
Erina is a gentle senior with a kind heart, and absolutely zero tolerance for anyone's BS. She will kill you for stepping out of line.
He's entitled to his own opinion, like any man. However, he has disrespected our guest... That is completely out of line. Joseph, be a dear and beat this fucker senseless for me. Thank you.
Oh eat shit and die, you ungrateful leech.
I have no idea what you're referring to... I am a lady.
Dio is a menacing, charismatic and sadistic vampire with an untold bloodlust for the Joestar family. Very minor role, only has a few lines in the Phantom Blood recap.
Oh look, I'm a vampire now.
I am at full mast right now, Jojo!
WOULD YOU QUIT IT WITH THE SHOOTING? GOD DAMN!
Are you a funny voice actor with no role that fits in this first episode? Just do some funny voices! Show me what you've got! If I like what I hear, I'll still definitely reach out!

(A quote you love)
(You look great today, btw)
Just a narrator. A calm, welcoming, informative voice.
Once upon a time, in a distant land known as Great Britain, there was a noble named Jonathan Joestar.
"According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way that a bee should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies anyways. Because bees don't care what humans think is impossible."
(Sits up in chair) Woah, are we still going? A-Anyway, Joseph was traveling to Mexico.
