Kingdom Hearts Abridged Mix

Kingdom Hearts Abridged Mix

Project Overview

Who are we?

My name is Alex and I am cofounder of the YouTube channel, The Harlequins. We are a small group of creators that typically post videos of games that we are interested in at the time. This is the first large scale project that we have decided to pursue. Kingdom Hearts has always been a game that's been dearly beloved for me and Kingdom Hearts Abridged Mix is our love letter to the series.


What is this?

Kingdom Hearts Abridged Mix is our retelling of the first Kingdom Hearts game. KH:AM will lean in to the story and characters to embrace the humor and insanity of this journey. We plan on there being ten episodes across the series with roughly ten to fifteen minute run times for each episode. We are currently in the process of scripting episode one and will keep casting open until 08/27/2026 or until all roles are filled. There will be more opportunities to voice characters as the show goes on.


Compensation:

Due to our small size, our budget is incredibly tight. However, we are listing this project as deferred. We want to make a commitment to share profit with those involved should this project become a success. I would like to stress the fact that this is not a guarantee, but a favorable outcome. We do have plans to get this project in front of as many people as possible to better its odds of taking off. In the event we are able to make payments to the cast, earnings will be split based on contribution to the series. This means that lead roles and major supporting characters will earn more.


Requirements:

For those interested in voice roles, a base requirement for all roles is recording using a USB or XLR microphone. We want to set this standard to keep audio quality consistent across the cast. Please also ensure that you have a suitable recording environment to avoid white noise or background noise. We ask that no AI filters or enhancements be used in your submissions.


Contact:

If you are interested in following the project, you can reach out for our discord link. We will be posting updates to episodes there along to our other platforms. You can also feel free to email me directly for inquiries.


Latest Updates

  • Final Update

    Hey all!

    First, I want to say thank you to every single one of you who auditioned. I truly did not expect this level of support and interest for this project. I saw many of you leave comments here or on other socials expressing how much Kingdom Hearts means to you all. I am grateful to each one of you, and it absolutely brings a smile to my face knowing that we all have such a strong tie to this series.

    Kingdom Hearts is a story of making connections, helping others, and being bold enough to step through the dark to see what lies ahead. I admire every one of you for putting yourselves out there and auditioning for this project.

    Whether this was your first audition, hundredth, or thousandth, I want to see each of you succeed in this field if that is what your heart wants. If this is just a hobby for you, then I hope you keep finding interesting projects to try out for.

    Speaking of which, there will be more chances in the future to audition for this project whether that is in a future episode or maybe even when we take on the next game. So please keep an eye out for the next time we are back here! And until then, it would mean the world to us if you all keep supporting the project by joining us when Episode 1 airs.

    I say this with a heart brimming with appreciation, thank you. May your heart be your guiding key.

  • Update #3

    Hey everyone!

    Just a reminder that today is the final day for submissions. If you have been following and haven't turned in your audition yet, now's the time! We have listened to everyone's submissions at least once, and we will be making final reviews tonight and tomorrow morning. We'll make sure to reach out to our final selections by tomorrow afternoon with the recording schedule and additional details. Lines will be distributed by Friday at the latest.

    Again, if you haven't heard from us yet, please do not be discouraged. Each of these roles has multiple candidates we are considering. In the event you are not selected for this cast list, do not worry! We still have many roles to fill for future episodes and projects! I want to say thank you all again for your time and effort. Until then, may your heart be your guiding key!

  • Update #2

    Hey all!

    I just wanted to let everyone know that scripting for the project was finished a few days ago and we have been working on setting up the scenes. I am going to revise the script some but I’m really excited for when we can actually bring these scenes to life with voices!

    We have been listening to all of your submissions and I want to say thank you all again! I’m really impressed by the talent that is here. It also makes me happy to hear many of you all have said that recording these lines were fun. Selecting the final cast list will be tough for episode one, and that’s a good problem to have. Again thank you all for the support and interest and I hope you tune in for when the episode releases sometime in September.

  • Project Update #1

    Hey everyone!

    I wanted to post an update and let you all know that first, I am blown away by the amount of submissions we have for this project and we're just a few days in. I have taken a listen to everyone's submissions once for initial impressions and I will be sitting down later this evening to write more detailed notes. There is some amazing talent here, and I consider myself extremely lucky to be in a position where choosing between you all is going to be this difficult.

    As for the project itself, we have scripting roughly 75% of the way complete. Editing is coming along nicely as well. Episode one is looking to be a little longer than we want so there are a few areas we're going to tighten up as we continue working on it. I am very excited to see these words come to life with your voices.

    Thank you again to everyone who has auditioned so far. We still have plenty of time left in the casting window, and I can't wait to hear more!
