What is this?
This project will be a fandub of the show "Konosuba: God's Blessing on this Wonderful World!". I have wanted to try and create a fandub for quite awhile now and have never really quite known how. This is something a few of my friends and I plan to try and put together as we believe we can make an awesome fandub of this awesome show.
This fandub will start by only being the first episode. If the cast as well as the audience are happy with it then we will possibly continue into dubbing the entire show.
If you're interested in this project, be sure to join the discord for it!

Show Plot
Following an untimely and embarrassing death, Kazuma Satō, a Japanese teenage shut-in NEET, meets a goddess named Aqua, who offers to reincarnate him in a parallel world with MMORPG
elements, where he can go on adventures and battle monsters. Despite
being offered a superpowered item or ability to use in this new world,
Kazuma, following some provocation, chooses Aqua herself to accompany
him to the town of Axel, quickly finding her absent-mindedness to be
less than beneficial. With Aqua unable to return to the afterlife until the Devil King is defeated, the two form a party and recruit two other members; an explosion-obsessed magician named Megumin and a masochistic crusader named Darkness.
Due to the party's dysfunctional abilities, Kazuma quickly gives up on
the idea of defeating the Devil King and tries to live a luxurious
lifestyle, only to find the circumstances of his daily life are forcing
him and his party to encounter and battle the Devil King's generals. Link to wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KonoSuba
Wheres Kazuma??
Satou Kazuma will be played by me. Yeah, I know that may annoy some people but I want to be able to begin developing a voice acting career and see if I can start out here.
Why Konosuba?
I picked this show to dub as I feel as if this show will be a blast to voice act and will be an intense challenge too. I have learned that this show maybe extremely hard to dub due to the incredible voice acting and deliveries of the Japanese counterparts but I believe we can add our own quirks and make this dub awesome!
Where are the rest of the characters?
Right now I am just getting the main cast and the characters from episode 1 out of the way before I make the rest of the cast's roles. So don't worry! I will make the rest of the cast after we finish this one!
Audition requirements
I hope for a decent sounding microphone with hopefully no background noise (static, gravel, pop, etc.)
If you are chosen for a role, you must have time to contribute!
I hope to have the lines for your character once I ask in about 3 weeks. I may have to recast you if you can't. Don't worry though, If you hand it a few days late that's ok.
The Opening
For this FanDub, the awesome Miss Shellah (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuWja4s4lO4ql9qdc_msVbA Go Subscribe to her!) has given me consent to use her English cover of the KonoSuba Opening for the first season of the FanDub!
Deadline
For now, you can all ignore the deadline. We don't really need the cast filled by then as we plan to start this project when we have every cast filled with the voice actors and actresses of our choice, so there is no need to worry about the deadline right now!
P.S, if you are available for the extra voices, those characters who don't even have names or only pop up every episode or so, please tell me as we could always use more of those.
P.P.S If anyone is willing to help write the script of each episode I would be very grateful!
Everything you need to know here: http://konosuba.wikia.com/wiki/Megumin
Voice line examples: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LiAMu3LGecc
My name is Megumin! My calling is that of an arch wizard, one who controls explosion magic, the strongest of all offensive magic! (Megumin's first introduction. Sound serious and menacing)
This is the magic item that suppresses my mighty magical powers. If I were ever to take this off, a great catastrophe would surely befall this world.... (Sound Serious and a little excited)
(Kazuma pulls Megumin's eyepatch and she pleads him to stop with an angry but pleading tone.)
I'm sorry! Please don't pull on it!
Stop... Stop it!
If I don't do it somewhere far from town, I'll be scolded by the guardsmen again..
(Sound considerate and innocent)
(Give me your best EXPLOSION line)
EXPLOSION!

Voice line examples: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VM9Atyi4VYc
*Hysterical laughter* I've been doing this for a long time, but you're the first human to ever die in such a bizarre way. *Giggle*
(Mocking and Rude)
This is not right! Taking a goddess with you is against the rules! This must be illegal! This has to be illegal! Wait! Wait!! (panicked and upset tone).
Something's coming! Hey, *a lot* of somethings are coming! Kazuma! Kazuma! (Extremely distressed and scared)
Purification! Purification! Purification! Purification! (Start Panicked, end on the verge of tears).
I caught my fourth one! Kazuma, look here! i caught a bunch! (Sound happy and cutesy)
GOD REQUIEM! (Kinda like Megumin's "EXPLOSION!")
Everything you need to know here: http://konosuba.wikia.com/wiki/Darkness
Voice line examples: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_Ysw6vbZSw
Please let....Please let me....j-j-j-join your party! (Say it seductively as well as confidently)
So, Kazuma, please don't hesitate to use me as a decoy or wall anytime from now on. *Slight giggle* (Say it as if you are considered for Kazuma's health as well as slightly aroused like yah know, Darkness).
Despite eyeing me like a wild animal in the mansion, he is the kind of sadsack who never once came to my bedside. (Serious tone)
And as a crusader who serves Lady Eris, my body must remain pure! and you call me easy....I'll kill you! (Calm then proceeds to get more panicked then finish with anger)
Everything you need to know here: http://konosuba.wikia.com/wiki/Luna
Luna is a calm character with a motivating happy tone who acts like an NPC type character and will tell the adventurers of new quests and tips, etc.
An
almighty class that commands all recovery and support magic, and even
boasts enough strength to stand at the front line! It is my pleasure to
welcome to the Adventurer's Guild, Aqua. (Very confident, as if you are an announcer.)
Aside from your intelligence being below average and your luck being the lowest possible, all your stats are exceptionally high! (Try to sound sympathetic and happy)
Oh? Your luck is extraordinarily high. Of course, luck isn't a very essential stat for an adventurer...
Angel is the goddess that takes Aqua's place and sends Kazuma and Aqua to the new world.
Her voice is calm, sophisticated and gentle. She sounds like a goddess pretty much.
(This is a very minor character, so I will let anyone have more than one role if they play a minor character).
I shall take over your job from here on out, Aqua.
Please have a safe trip, Lady Aqua.
Brave hero, I pray that of the great many prospective heroes, you will be the one to defeat the devil king.
Ruffian is the first person that Kazuma encounters in the Adventurer's guild. He is aggressive by looks but is actually a helpful and friendly adventurer, he believes Kazuma may actually be able to defeat The Devil king.
His voice is manly, deep, gritty and aggressive sounding but he is actually a considerate helpful guy.
Is that right, you reckless punk? Welcome to the gates of hell! (First sounding cocky ending aggressively and optimistically.)
If you're lookin' for the guild admission desk, it's over there. (Optimistic and cocky)
Hey! Haven't seen you around here before. (Confused and interested.)
This character is extremely minor but has the voice of an old man. If anyone can manage to do an elderly man's voice, please consider trying out for this character.
(This is a very minor character, so I will let anyone have more than one role if they play a minor character).
This must be fate. I saw earlier that you couldn't cover the fee correct?
Here. Consider this Lady Eris's divine blessing.
Still, no matter how devout a believer you are, you mustn't call yourself a goddess.

This is for the sounds that are included in the show. This doesn't include music. I would love anyone to help me out here as I practically know nothing about sound design.
This is also just for the basic editing of the show, if you think you could edit the show yourself than be sure to audition!
*Please send some work that you are capable of doing for sound effects, this includes footsteps, explosions, doors, wind, clothes shuffling, etc.*
This role is for anyone willing to assist on putting the Konosuba music in the background of scenes etc. This is because I am not the best editor myself aha. I myself have downloaded the OST of KonoSuba but know pretty much nothing about editing it all together...
