Lupin the Third: Goemon's Spray of Blood Abridged
Project Overview
- THE PROJECT:
This is an abridging of the Lupin the Third movie "Goemon's Spray of Blood" The script has already been written and I've already begun the process of finding sound effects I want to use/making some of my own and music I want to use. The Script is less focused on being super offensive, or breaking the fourth wall, or memetic humor; and more focused on taking the established characters and playing up their characteristics to a comical extreme.
REQUIREMENTS:Firstly, a high-quality mic. Blue Yeti with a USB Chord is fine, but XLR cable would be heavily preferred. Secondly, Make sure your recording has as little background noise as possible and good acoustics. Thirdly, PayPal or Venmo so I can pay you. Fourthly, a discord account for communication is required.
PAYMENT:I can't pay much, but I do want to reimburse you for your work. Payment will be through PayPal or Venmo and will be on completion of your lines.
AUDITION NOTES:1.) Don't try and do an impression of the characters' dub voices. I'm looking first and foremost for unique performances that embody the character feel I'm going for.
2.) Anything put between asterisks like this *sample text* is audition notes to help you understand what kind of performance I'm looking for. 3) I don't need a slate in the audition, but by all means tell me about yourself in your audition notes, including your discord so I can reach out to you there.
And that's it- if more questions come up I may append an F.A.Q to this section to try and resolve any recurring questions for those reading through this project in the future.

Lupin the Third is a cocky little bitch who's just a bit too horny on main, a failure at any sort of romance whatsoever, a thief who tends to really only get by through cartoon levels of luck and logic defying. We aren't really changing him around much. He's a horny trickster who knows he's the star of the show. Think a more matured sonic the hedgehog or less wacky bugs bunny in delivery but still with a sense of sauveness even if its a little forced. We are looking for someone who's in the higher range like a tenor for the role, not looking for a deep voiced seriousness here.
So here he comes, right on time. ANd he has class, and quite a style! All of his own, and they know him as Lupin The...huh, seems im not the only one robbing this place tonight.
*this is Lupins first scene and he's introduced as singing his own theme as he casually infiltrates the casino boat to rob it, only to stop and realize that someone else has gotten here first*

heres some reference of the song to helpY'know, when Goemon said he was gonna train harder then ever before I was expecting….well it's Goemon I didn't know what to expect, but I certainly didn't expect him TO STARE AT A ROCK FOR FOUR DAYS STRAIGHT.
*I want the first part thats said to be delivered in a ft casually chatting with a slight pause at the ellipses then the in caps section to be said with the exasperation of a man who has just watched a person stare at a rock for four days straight*Oh god it went through the bone, This isn't the kinda penetration I'm into!
* a piece of wood flung by hawk has just gone through lupins arm so he's iin pained anguish. I want the second line to be delivered with gritted teeth trying to joke through the pain but still very much being in pain.*
Goemon is the big stoic samurai of the group, he's normally the straight man to the lupin gang's antics, but given that the movie is all about him having him just be the normal boring straight one doesn't fit. So instead we took the pride he has in his skills and the small smugness streak he has in the series and turned it up to 11. This is a man who knows he's the best swordsman in the world and will not hesitate to tell you about all the planes he's cut in half. However, in this movie he suffers a devastating loss at the hands of the antagonist Hawk which sends him into a massive depressive spiral, so you'll need to be able to capture that pure anguish he feels. Finally, through intense training he achieves a zen like nirvana that he uses to beat Hawk. In this bit his smugness is still a part of him, but he needs to have a more focused and calm determination. He knows he's better but he realizes that he can't let his pride cloud his vision in battle anymore. I've chosen three lines that come from each of these moments so you can demonstrate how you'll handle each of these emotional points.
The fact that you mistook readied meditation for a peaceful slumber is evidence enough of our difference in skill more than what I just did. But I doubt you’ll be cutting a bullet in half any time soon either.
*Goemon just cut a bullet in half in mid air to save the mob boss he's working for. He then uses this as a way to rub his skill in the face of one the mob boss's other bodyguards who'd been insulting him earlier in the scene. This should be dripping withh smug asshole energy*I lost..it still feels like a dream, like this can’t be real. But I, Goemon, cutter of planes was bested. He caught my sword with his hand, then just took me down in one hit. This can't be happening. I need to beat him I need to get stronger. I must train, harder than ever before…
*this is Goemon's internal monologue after he gets beat by Hawk. Take it slow and really revel n that existential despair realizing that the one skill you thought you were good at you actually suck at*First time you've felt the fear of death then? An opponent who learns to fear, learns to be stronger, and cutting you down now denies a rematch in our future.
*there's still that element of smugness but you need to be able to seem a lot calmer, like your at peace with everything. This is right after he beats Hawk in a fight*
Daisuke Jigen is the reliable quick draw gunman of the group. He's lazy, sarcastic and distrusting of women. For this we took this and ran with it, a lot of sarcastic quips and were looking for a lot of sardonic tones. We've also made him gay. Only take this role if you are ok with playing a gay dude.
Don't look at me man, just cause I have a type doesn't mean I know every bear in existence.
*the gang has just seen hawk, and despite hawk being on an exploding boat, Jigen is just as cool as a cucumber*Dammit my hat! It's gonna take 2 weeks to find another one to match this color suit.
*Jigen just had his bullets deflected by hawk back into him, but he's been shot so many times that he's genuinely more concerned that his hat has a hole in it. this needs to be a mild annoyance at best to him*But hawks in a Castle! And goemon doesn’t have any salt to throw at the castle to destroy it!
*Jigen has just received a very serious head wound and is completely out of it*
Zenigata is the punching bag of the series, he's often depicted as manically dedicated to catching lupin and a very sad man, however in this movie we get him at his hypercompetent focused best. So we are playing him up as the straight man of it all, no selling at every bit of the Lupin gangs wackiness.
Good, I'm one step closer to catching the ghost of Bermuda. And once Keiji Zenigata is in your trail, there's no getting him off it.
*determined confidence*Seeing Lupin hack those police radios all those times sure has paid off. I can get both Lupin and Hawk in one fell swoop now. It's BOGO time. Hmm. No that sounds lame, I'll come up with something cooler to say when I catch them on the way there.
*Quiet bemusing to himself*I have my suspicions, and your probably right about it being a billionaire. Whoever it is seems to have put pressure on Interpol to get me off the case, which would take some cash.
*this needs to be played fully deadpan and straight, lupin has just said some incredibly dumb and absurd things and your electing to ignore him*
The Mob boss is a minor character who hires Goemon as his bodyguard after he becomes enamored with goemons skills, very boisterous in his performance. He dies. His son also shows up, and I want to have the same actor play both of them to sell that they are related so you will have to be able to have the range to do both.
Mob Boss: he's more than worth it, I saw this guy cut lighting after all! Lighting! I'm sure he'll get the chance to prove himself!
*He is ecstatic about his new samurai toy, I want the same energy as a guy having a mid life crisis and coming home to show his wife the new craft brew set he just picked up*Mob Boss: Guys? Help me!. Everything hurts. Guys? Whered you goemon?
*this is his death scene, he's just been impaled and crushed by a bunch of wood beams, so this is very much his dying gasps, not some big kerfuffle. but do feel free to ham it up a bit*Mob Boss's Kid: That samurai bastard storms into a funeral to throw some tantrum about revenge? Dick move bro, I'm mourning here.
*he needs to sound super done with goemon at this bit. Goemon did just storm into a funeral shouting at the top of his lungs about honor*
this is actually two characters, but they have the exact same voice. They are weasely yakuza types, although its never explicitly said that they are Yakuza in the game.
Way to make us feel appreciated, boss. 6 years you've had us as bodyguards and the only scratch on ya is cosmetic. but then you pick up this hobo and you give him a fancy robe and a sword!
We could sit on our asses and watch this guy cut an explosion, or we could be smart and go to the lifeboat. I vote lifeboat.
*They are currently fleeing an exploding boat, so there needs to be urgency, but they are also fed up with the bosses obsession with gomon so there needs to be frustration as well*oh that's a good one! A beaten up half dead twink with a sword is gonna take on a whole bunch of "indistinct Japanese gangsters"
*The pride comes before the fall, going for sadistic gloating as they stand over Goemon*
This is a very minor character with only two lines. Looking for a very generic mafia gangster sort of feel who speaks entirely in implications and innuendos
we heard you ruffed up one of our boys for so-called cheating on this here so-called casino boat you so-called punks
This is a barkeep whos very excited to tell Zenigata about the man who stole a bike at his bar.
Well, this big blonde guy who's built like a shit brickhouse walks on in. Orders a small farm in food and beer. Sits in the corner just going at it for like 2 hours, until these punks walk on in also. He just walks on up to them and as casual as taking a piss he just swipes their keys and steals their bike.
*very excitedly*
