Hello Everyone! I am here to start off a new fan dub project: ~Kingdom Hearts Union X the Fan dub Series~
"Far away there is a World of fairy tales.I've noticed there's a lot of cut scenes in this mobile game so I thought it would be a cool idea to dub it (We are not dubbing the whole game, just the important cut scenes). There are rules and guidelines, but they are simple and clean to follow!
1. Clear mic and no background noise (iPhone/any other phones with a clear mic is acceptable as well)
2. Be respectful to others.
3. Have a Discord ready when casted.
4. Be prepared for some emotional scenes. Keep in mind when casted/auditioning.
5. Enjoy! Have fun with your auditions!
Feel free to comment for advice/help/questions!
Pronunciations:
Ephemer (Eh-fem-er)
Ava (Ah-va)
Ira (Ee-ra)
Strelitzia (Stre-lit-zee-ah)
Luxu (Loo-shoo)
Also more roles will be added on soon! Just taking care of the first important set..!
A young and outgoing Keyblade wielder.
For Ephemer, I am aware that he already has a voice actor in Back Cover. You can try to sound as close to that voice as possible, or you can do whatever seems fit to the character. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LAbw3giAJ0s
Let's split up for a bit and see if we can find a place to sneak in, okay?
Well, it was nice talking to you! ... I don't know what's got you down... But please cheer up!
We'll go together.
A calm and optimistic Keyblade wielder.
I imagine a chill medium-high toned voice for this character. But you can do whatever seems fit.
(by the way, Ephemer is pronounced: Eh-fem-er)
*cheerful* I'm Skuld. Nice to meet you!
*hearing a loud noise* Whoa! What was that?! I'll go and check it out!
I realized a lot of things, thanks to you... But I want to see Ephemer, and thank him as well.
Chirithy is this adorable creature that has the Keyblade wielder's back no matter what. Loyal and caring.
Chirithy already has a voice in the Back Cover game so I would recommend to have the audition sound as close to the original voice actress as possible. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovfudzu6bL0 (skip to 1:40 to hear Chirithy) You can also do whatever voice seems fit.
(Important!) This main Chirithy is going to have lots and lots of lines so when casted, be sure to be dedicated and stay with this role.
Multiple background Chirithys will be casted (regardless of gender audition)
*alerted* Someone's coming! They're headed straight this way!
As your friend, I don't want you to join in the battle.
*sullen tone* I guess my duty is finished too...
A shy and sweet Keyblade wielder chosen by Ava for a special task.
Strelitzia is a quiet and shy girl who is considerate and caring for others when she realizes that those who are not Dandelions will perish in the war. When chosen to be a Union leader, Strelitzia expresses doubts that she is qualified for the role, showing lack of confidence in herself.
Since she doesn't have a voice actress in previous games, I can imagine a soft-spoken, polite, and high pitched tone for this character. You can also try to do whatever voice seems fit.
(Fair warning: This character is crucial with emotional scenes so be prepared with this role!)
You don’t know me. But... I feel like I know you.
I have to warn them! (hesitates on going out the door) Um... uh, i-it's too dark out. I'll just wait til tomorrow! *nervous laughter*
I wish... *starts to tear up* I wish I had the courage..!
One of the Foretellers.
Ava is a kindhearted individual whose youth enables her to befriend the members of not only her Union, but others as well. Despite her young age, she is prudent and diligent in her role. She also displays a more childish side, as she is openly infatuated by Chirithy.
Ava already has a voice in the Back Cover game so I would recommend to have the audition sound as close to the original voice actress as possible. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tyQepyoK37k (skip to 1:55 to hear Ava)
Master, did you make this? It's so cute!
Let the wind carry you far, far away... my Dandelions.
Raise your blade..! *in a commanding tone* I told you to raise your blade!
One of the Foretellers.
Despite his young age, Gula is a cool-headed and serious individual. As intelligent he maybe, he also shows a more playful side when he teases Aced for his scary demeanor.
Gula already has a voice in the Back Cover game so I would recommend to have the audition sound as close to the original voice actor as possible. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovfudzu6bL0 (skip to 3:15 to hear Gula)
No wonder you ended up as the bear. You're scary.
The only way to get him back is to break the rules! If things don't change, then the entire world is doomed!
May your heart be your guiding key.
One of the Foretellers.
Invi is an individual with high moral standards. She obeys the Master of Masters without question, and she remains neutral when acting in accordance with the role assigned to her. Very studious.
Invi already has a voice in the Back Cover game so I would recommend to have the audition sound as close to the original voice actress as possible.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovfudzu6bL0 (skip to 0:15 to hear Invi)
I understand. But... To form and maintain our own unions is... a little unnerving to be honest.
You're saying he was wrong?! You fool!
I'm sorry you got tangled up in this... I'll make sure you go quickly.
One of the Foretellers.
Aced is an honest and fearless individual with a strong sense of justice. In spite of this, Aced is also arrogant, short-tempered, and self-righteous.
Aced already has a voice in the Back Cover game so I would recommend to have the audition sound as close to the original voice actor as possible.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-mEhj-6Geg (skip to 2:25 to hear Aced.)
It's been over a year since the Master left... It's time for me to fulfill my true role.
Don't you realize you won't stand a chance against the darkness on your own?!
May my heart be my guiding key.
Leader of the Foretellers.
Ira is a dependable individual with a no-nonsense attitude. Very mindful of what's around him.
Ira already has a voice in the Back Cover game so I would recommend to have the audition sound as close to the original voice actor as possible.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJkQ21uvEmA (skip to 0:15 to hear Ira)
I'm still analyzing it. I just prefer to be thorough with my book.
I know Gula is here... Tell me where he is. *pause* The reason? ...It's none of your concern.
You've improved. Well done... It's such a shame to lose a Keyblade wielder like you.
The God Almighty... I mean--
The Master of Masters.
The Master of Masters behaves in an unpredictable and eccentric manner. He is a mischievous and playful individual. Although he demonstrates a more serious side to his persona, especially when talking about the specific roles he had given to the Foretellers, he has a tendency to weave in and out of serious moments at a mere whim, being somber at one moment and laughing playfully the next.
He has a voice in Back Cover so try to sound as close to the voice actor as possible, or do whatever seems fit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SwD1nJWYrEY
"May your heart be your guiding key." I say it all the time. You ultimately need to do what your heart feels is right.
*in a joking manner* Do you...? Want me to go?
*serious tone* Even if there is a traitor, act normal and stay focused. Trust no one but yourself.
A Keyblade Master, and also an apprentice of the Master of Masters.
Contrary to the Master of Master's eccentric and wacky personality, Luxu is more quiet and reserved.
He already has a voice in Back Cover so I would recommend to try and sound as close to the voice actor as possible, or you can do whatever voice seems fit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O0sn3sDlPXM (in that vid, Luxu talks less compared to MoM)
Do I really have to go alone? What about the others?
What am I doing? Watching... That is my mission after all.
*evil tone* I'll watch this world end, and then I'll set off.
An aloof Keyblade wielder chosen by Ava for a special task.
Mysterious and smart. Also the one who would take charge in strategizing. Not much else is known about him.
I imagine a low and aloof toned voice with a hint of sarcasm if needed. You can also try whatever voice seems fit for this character.
Hey, about the rules. Think they’re set in stone? Or more like a guideline?
Aww, don't trouble yourself like that. Spirits are just living beings that eat nightmares.
While I take the lead, why don't you children get these materials for me.
A mysteriously polite Keyblade wielder chosen by Ava for a special task.
Lauriam appears to have a polite and reserved disposition. Also considered to be mysterious due to his late appearance in the game.
He does have a voice in previous Kingdom Hearts games as seen in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kc9fLES2nC4. Since he has a different appearance and personality in Union X, I suggest for his voice to have a little fanciness to it, more proper/polite perhaps.
Sorry to keep you all waiting! I was... looking for something.
*chuckles* Ven is just a kind person.
I am not of suit for these kind of things. I'll just wait here, and see what the outcome is.
A timid and kind Keyblade wielder chosen by Ava for a special task.
Ventus appears to be a very timid boy who did not particularly have the courage to wield a Keyblade in the beginning. As time went on, he gets more comfortable and and warms up to people. He has many similarities with Sora: being sweet, cheerful, curious, and gets excited at anything new or interesting.
He already has a voice actor in previous games, so you can try to sound as close to the voice actor as possible. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gp2nJdy5t5k
*cheerful* I'm Ventus. But you can call me Ven!
*sullen tone* Man, I wish I had friends... I'm pretty jealous of you two.
No, I won't do it. He told me, the only way the X-blade can be forged is if you and me fight. Well guess what? I'm not fighting.
NPCs, Extra Keyblade wielding characters... Only needed for some cutscenes.
There are a bunch of extras in this game so just do whatever voice seems fit and you'll be set.
(Multiple roles will be casted here)
*cocky tone* An ally? Don't make me laugh. This piece of work was stealing our Lux.
All right! We're counting on you!
So there you have it. We'd love it if you would help us out!
