Hello! I am making a fandub of the 2015 Titan Comics run of Kung Fu Panda. I am looking for VAs to voice the characters.
The comic ran from October 2015 to January 2016 for 4 issues in total.
The pay will be a rate of $3 per line!
Once you are cast I will send the comics for you to record from, but if you prefer a proper script, I will write one!
Just know as this is a passion project it may take some time to release as I am working on it in my free time. It may be a month or so between issues.
The series will be uploaded to the Wizkid Creations YouTube channel.

About me:
Hey I'm Azel, aka RandomWizKid! I'm a self taught voice actor and video editor.
I've been editing comic dubs for a while, here is a list of my work:

I'm a big fan of KFP, especially the first 2 movies, so I thought it would be fun to bring the comics into video form, and to develop my skills in the process!
Rules:
This is a paid project so please have a PayPal account.
And since PayPal is required, you will also have to be 18+.
Communication will be through Discord so having a Discord account is preferred.
One take for each line is fine, but if you want to do more you can do it in AAABBBCCC format!
Have fun! Impressions are not strictly necessary and feel free do some extra improv!
Here is the final cast!

Again a huge thank you for the 253 submissions, I loved listening to everyone's takes on the characters and even if you weren't chosen I hope we can work together in the future!
Thank you to everyone who has auditioned so far, if I haven’t said it already! You are all making my job of choosing really hard 😭
But there are still 17 days left and I won’t be casting until the deadline passes, so if you haven’t yet, feel free to audition!
Description taken from Dreamworks Website:
Mischievous, playful and enthusiastic, Master Monkey likes a good joke, but his easy-going attitude masks a cunning martial arts ability. More street smart than the rest of the Furious Five, Monkey is an unpredictable prankster who is as fierce as he is clever and funny. While he likes to goof off as much as Po, in a fight Monkey always has your back.
Voice Description:
He has a playful, mid-range voice. Pay is an estimated $33 for the first issue, $21 for the second, $12 for the third, and $51 for the fourth.
POC voice actors are preferred for this role as the character has a Chinese accent.
Voice Reference:
He was portrayed by Jackie Chan in the movies:

Comparison:
(Surprised, frustrated) No way - How'd you even see me coming? Stealth is like my middle name!
(Giving seaweed to a hungry Po) Here Po - They grow around here and they're kind of stinky but at least they'll fill your tummy. -- They should at least line your stomach.
(Oogway: You must leave.) Monkey: Sure, if you beat me, I will go. But if you don't, then it is you who must leave! Without your pants! (giggle)
Description taken from Dreamworks Website:
Mantis may be the smallest of the Five, but he'd never admit it. The little guy has a textbook Napoleon complex: strong, fast and tiny, he possesses a mean temper and is ready to 'throw down' at the slightest insult.
Voice Description:
He has a medium-low, gruff voice. Pay is an estimated $30 for the first issue, $15 for the second, $6 for the third, and $21 for the fourth.
Voice Reference:
He was portrayed by Seth Rogen in the movies:

And Max Koch in other media:
(Kicking Po to keep him awake) HIIIIYAH! Believe me Po, it's for your own good. Seriously.
(During fight with Crane) Hey, there are gaps... even in a gale! And I may be small... But I pack a BIIIG punch!
(Out of nowhere realization) Man, I'm so lucky. I don't have any problems with my dad! Maybe it's 'cause Mom ate his head before I was born. I don't know!
Description taken from Dreamworks Website:
Mr. Ping may have lost his best, and only, employee to kung fu greatness, but he couldn’t be more proud of his panda son. In fact, Mr. Ping has decked out the noodle shop in honor of Po’s epic exploits (Please be sure to ask your server about purchasing official “Dragon Warrior” merchandise!). But like any parent left at home, Mr. Ping worries about being forgotten. He coddles his number one (and only) son, making sure to always have extra helpings of bean buns, dumplings, and noodle soup ready to feed the Dragon Warrior whenever he stops by. And he’s always happy to visit the Jade Palace with a freshly washed load of laundry or to give Po’s room a quick dusting. Mr. Ping loves three things more than anything in the world; Po, noodles, and selling noodles.
Voice Description:
He has a medium-to-high voice. Pay is an estimated $15 for the first issue, $15 for the second, and $63 for the third.
POC voice actors are preferred for this role as the character has a Chinese accent.
Voice Reference:
He was portrayed by James Hong in the franchise:
We are noodle folk. Broth runs through our veins!
(Authoratative) Po, PO... It's not every day a visiting dignitary sends advance word he will dine here. I want the noodle shop in tip top, A-1 shape. Clearly the renown of my secret ingredient soup has spread far and wide.
(Sharing an embarrassing story about Po) Mr. Ping: Po was so cute when he was little. He couldn't say the word tomato. He said, 'Amamamomo'. (Po: A lot of babies can't say words.) Mr. Ping: You were ten.
Character Description:
He is the leader of the crocodile bandits, and is very over-the-top and hammy.
Voice Description:
He’s a comic-original villain, so there isn't an established voice for him, but I imagine he has a low, gruff voice.
He has an estimated pay of $54.
(Monologue to his army) By now, the MIST OF MORPHEUS will have done its work and the Jade Palace is OURS for the taking! But, should you perchance encounter ANY remaining resistance... CRUSH IT! MAUL IT! BATTER and BLUDGEON it into submission. And then HAMMER it senseless some more. Just for fun. Any questions?
(Preparing to battle Po) Dragon Warrior - Fah, you have no idea, none at all... The GREAT TERROR that is coming.
(Fighting Po) I sense weakness, panda. Perhaps you CAN resist the Mist of Morpheus... But for how long?
Character Description:
He is the crane villain of the third issue. He appears to have a history with Master Shifu, and feigns pleasantries with him, but in the end he will stop at nothing to get what he wants.
Voice Description:
I imagine he has a very dignified, posh voice but with a hint of squawkiness.
He has an estimated pay of $33.
(Disingenuous) Old friend, you seem troubled? -- Lei Kung? Why, Master Shifu, surely you don't begrudge me the comfort of a BODYGUARD on my long and arduous journey?
(Threatening) Such a shame. I had hoped to reason with you, Shifu. But I see now you have become entrenched, an obstacle... that we must REMOVE...
(Farewell message as he knocks out shifu) Forgive me. What I do... I do in the name of lasting peace.
Character Description:
He is a big gorilla with elemental powers that acts as Chairman Qing's bodyguard.
Voice Description:
I imagine he has a thundering, intimidating voice.
Pay is an estimated $51.
WHERE is the Dragon Warrior? My thirst for combat is still raging, my appetite for destruction unfulfilled!
(Qing: Destroy him!) With pleasure... Shifu, the Five... They were just the appetizer, panda. But you... (fires lightning at po) are the MAIN COURSE!
(Bragging while Po is down) My dark elemental powers stem from the untapped RAGE within us all... How can you hope to prevail?
Character Description:
The Wu Sisters are the Snow Leopard villains of the fourth issue.
The actress cast will be providing the voice for all three of them.
Voice Descriptions:
Pay is an estimated $84.
Voice Reference:
The Wu Sisters were previously portrayed by Sumalee Montano in the Secrets of the Masters short film.

Su Wu: (villainous monologue before fighting) You’re too late. The Belt of Cosmic Cohesion is ours, and we aren’t just a team. We are family. (Battle cry) VORTEX ATTACK!!
Wing Wu: (scared) This must be some new power… What do we do? WHAT?
Wan Wu: (offended) What? Are you calling me a COWARD?
