Misao: Definitive Edition Fandub

Project Overview


RPGMaker horror games were a BIG thing back in the late 2000s and early 2010s, but I've noticed the "genre" is making a bit of a comeback! There are a couple classics, including (but not limited to!) Ib, Mad Father, The Witch’s House, and of course, Misao.


Misao, a lonely teenage girl who is relentlessly bullied, goes missing. After three months of being gone, the students in her class are mysteriously transported to another world, full of monsters and death traps. You must collect six objects in order to break Misao’s curse, the thing that brought you to this other dimension in the first place.


The original Misao came out in 2011, while the “Definitive Edition” came out in 2017. It has overhauled graphics, adds and changes dialogue, adds more deaths, and a couple of other notable changes. However, it still holds true to the original version. The “Definitive Edition” is the version we will be dubbing. The linked video is the trailer for the Definitive Edition, which will give you a brief look at the game.


This casting call and dub will contain major spoilers for Misao: Definitive Edition, as well as cover/portray mature topics such as violence/gore, sexual assault, pedophilia, etc.


Important notes:

  1. This game has no official voice acting, so voices are all up to interpretation. Any direction/notes in the role description are all my own interpretation. I'd like to see your own take on the characters.

  2. Almost every character will have lines that include screaming, yelling, and crying. Most will be reflected in the audition lines, because I want you to be prepared if you are cast.

  3. Don't feel confined by the "gender" of the role, please audition for whichever roles you feel comfortable voicing!

  4. I will be voicing Aki, the female player character. The game differs slightly between the male and female characters, so I may decide to cover the game as Akito, the male player character, meaning there may be an opening in the future for his role.

  5. The finished product will be uploaded to my YouTube channel.

  6. Currently, the deadline is set for March 31st, 2021, but that is subject to change. I will post updates so you are aware of any changes well beforehand.

  7. This is an unpaid project and I do not plan on paying in the future. This project is simply for fun!

Requirements:

  1. I require minimal/no background noise, peaking, etc. If you need help improving your audio quality, reach out to me! I have some tips and tricks that may help.

  2. I will be using Discord as my main method of communication, so please leave your Discord name with your audition. However, if Discord isn’t an option for you, we can figure something out!

  3. Voice actors must be AT LEAST 13 years old, as per Discord’s TOS. However, due to some subject matter of the game, I recommend that younger VAs do not audition. But if you are comfortable with the subject matter and your voice fits for the characters, age will not impact casting (aside from being under 13).

  4. Please do not slate your auditions. No more than three takes per line, two is ideal, but I have no problem with you submitting one take per line.


Here's the Discord link to my project so you can stay up to date, chat, all that fun stuff! Once casting commences, voice actors are expected to join. You can also join to get alerts for other upcoming projects!

Range: Any range, but maybe more mid-centered

- There are moments when Misao cries, please be able to convincingly sob.

- Misao is in scenes/has lines regarding sexual assault, murder, etc.

  • [Upset, then trying to be optimistic]

    Why did Yoshino tell them...? Well, not like it matters! Because of that, I'm Tohma's girlfriend. I should thank Yoshino.

    [Mortified, reading the text she sent to Tohma aloud as it was posted on the bulletin board outside of the classroom]

    "I love you so much, I love you lots. My heart melts like chocolates when you cross my thoughts."

  • [Misao is confronted by her teacher in an uncomfortable situation, and realizes he locked her in the room with him]

    T-teacher? Uhh... let go, please. This isn't funny, teacher.

    EEK! NOOO! It won't open! Why?! Please! Open up! No, stay away! NOOOOOOOO!

  • [Casual conversation, joking and poking fun]

    Ghosts, huh? Dumbass! Those ain't things that exist!

    Wait... whaddif... this's Misao's curse?!

    If those events are Misao's curse, Yoshino'll be cursed sooner or later.

Yoshino

Description: Yoshino is your typical high school bully. She is mean, sarcastic, mean-spirited, and even downright evil at points. The majority of Misao's trauma stems from Yoshino's treatment of her.

Range: Mid to mid-low

Notes: 

- I imagine her having a bitchy, sarcastic, and somewhat sultry tone.

- This character is in scenes/has lines regarding sexual assault, abuse, etc.

  • [Overdramatic, sarcastic]

    Listen up, everybody! I got big news! One of the girls here loves Tohma! Look, Tohma's right over there, go confess your undying love!

    [Furious]

    BITCH! You've got some nerve, Misao!

  • [Yoshino is tied up, begging the player for help]

    A-alright, jeez! Sure! I won't do it! Now help me out of here! He's gonna come back if you don't hurry!

    [The player cannot help in time, about to be killed by a monster]

    EEEEEK!! HE'S HERE!! NOOO! I don't want to be a test subject!

Mr. Kurata
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to: Keiko Kawayui

Description: Mr. Kurata is the teacher of Misao's class. The students generally see him as a kind and caring, and many of the female students have a crush on him. However, as you progress further in the game, you realize that he isn't what he seems. Kurata is riddled with insecurities and violent tendencies.

Voice: Mid-range

Notes:
- I expect his voice to sound very smooth and professional, yet still caring.
- There are flashbacks featuring a young Kurata, so I am looking for someone who can offer two different voices for the ages we see him as, while still sounding like the same character, of course.
- This character is in scenes/has lines regarding assault, pedophilia, murder, etc.

  • Be careful. Don't you dare die out there. After all, you're one of my dear students.

    Did something happen to you? Please, tell me whatever's troubling you. We can discuss it all you like.

  • Absolutely not. You're a very charming girl. You're not like those other idiot girls. Serious, kind, and calm... I adore girls like you. You're so beautiful, Misao.

    Why...why do you all reject me? WHY?! Never do that to me! NEVER!!

  • (Young Kurata)


    She was the first… the first to accept me… I was… so, so happy.


    WHY!? WHY WON’T ANYONE ACCEPT ME?!

Description: Ayaka is one of Misao's classmates. She is very bubbly and talkative and has a HUGE crush on Mr. Kurata.

Range: Mid to mid-high


Notes:

- Being open about her crush with Mr. Kurata, she says a lot of... awkward, obsessive things.

  • [Excited]

    Aki, you're just in time! Now's the chance of a lifetime! Since nobody's around, we're free to look around in Mr. Kurata's desk!

  • [Mockingly defensive, then eager]

    Who dares! Who is it who dared to send love letters to my Mr. Kurata? Let's find out what they wrote!

  • [Ayaka realizes that Kurata has killed Misao, and that he is coming for her next]

    A-ahh... H...help...!

    GYAAAAAAH! Wh-w-wha-what... are... these... arms?!

    NO! NONONONONONO!!!

  • [Casual, matter-of-factly]

    There was also the incident where the lights in the gym suddenly fell... Luckily, no one was injured, but they're still not sure what happened.

  • [Feeling guilty, but determined]

    It's my fault. I'm responsible for everything. I need to do something. Wait for me, Misao. I'll definitely find you.

Description: Saotome is Tohma's girlfriend. She is your stereotypical high school girl, sweet and naïve, easily startled.

Range: Mid-high to high

Notes: As noted in the audition lines, Saotome has a lot of character development, going from bubbly and naïve, to confident and aggressive.

  • [Naïve, innocent, and sweet]

    Eeek! Tohmaaa, I'm scaaared... I mean, I'm your girlfriend, so... Misao might have a grudge...

    Aww! You're so sweet, Tohma!

  • [Terrified, a monster approaches her]

    YAHHH! St-stay away! Tohma, HEEELP!

  • [Saotome is ready to move on from Tohma, full of rage over his actions]

    Tohma... left me to die...

    Hey Aki... Can I have that bat?

Onigawara

Role assigned to: Arkham

 Description: Onigawara, a mysterious, enigmatic man, is the Student Council President at the students' high school. His role in the story is essentially as a guide (and save point) for the player.

Range: Mid to low

Notes: Onigawara should speak in a calm, proper, sophisticated manner.

  • [Informative]

    I am Onigawara, the student council president. And this is the student council room. It is the result of a girl's curse that this school was sealed into another world.

  • [Matter-of-factly]

    I see. So you offered the keys at the altar. However, it appears the curse has yet to lift. It seems we will need a sacrifice.

Description: "Library" is the Student Council Vice President and spends all of her time inside the library, reading. Similar to Onigawara, her role in the story is to help the player, but also offers some comic relief.

  • [Nervous, but excited]

    R-really...? I-I'm so glad...! You're my first friend!

  • [Eager, trying to please]

    If you ever have any trouble, please come visit me! I don't know how useful I'll be, but I'll do what I can to help!

Range: Any

Notes: I simply expect Tanako to have a peaceful, smooth, calming voice.

  • [Friendly]


    Hey, do you always eat lunch here?

  • [Uncomfortable, brutally honest] 


    I wasn’t getting close to you for that reason. I just felt bad for you, Kurata.

  • [Scared, desperate]

    AHHH! Kurata, stop! Somebody, help!!

Other Extras
open
Unpaid

Essentially, I'm looking for a handful of voice actors who can cover the many extras of the game. They range from teachers, to bullies, to a veterinarian, and so on.

All "female" roles are teenage characters, while a handful of the "male" roles are adults. For the male roles, pick whichever lines you can perform convincingly.

  • Female extras:

    Student - T-teacheeeer... I had a fight with my friend, and I apologized... but she said she wouldn't be my friend anymore...

    Bully - Think you're hot stuff now that you're Tohma's girlfriend, huh?

  • Male extras:

    Teacher - You there!  Face front and pay attention!

    Student - What the hell are you going on about? I'M the student council president. There's no "Onigawara" in the student council.
