ImprovisationWell Ladies & Gentlemen this shall be a Casting Call for an Audioplay Version of my One Piece Fanfic "Who Will Save Robin from Aokiji?" in which you can read at the following links...

(Note: Yeah I admit I'm not the best proofreader so to those who are cast I will most likely do a slightly revised version on the script with Google Docs in the near future.)
Anyways here is the summary here that this is a One Piece fic set during the incident at Long Ring Long Land where our heroes the Straw-Hat Pirate Crew face the Marine Admiral Aokiji to try to save Robin from being captured by her.
But in this fic we see it divided into 4 segments where one of the Straw-Hats try to make a stand to save Robin from Aokiji's clutches such as Luffy, Usopp, Nami and Sanji. The twist here is that Aokiji seems to have mistaken the Straw-Hat trying to make a stand for Robin's lover (aside from Sanji whom he immediately suspected that Robin's feelings for him were strictly platonic. In which much to Sanji's chagrin Robin immediately confirmed that.)
Anyways this shall be for a Audioplay version of the story here (but if I can get any fanartists interested in providing some artwork I could make a Visual Novel version of this). Oh yes and if anyone thinks I'm going a little overboard with the audition lines being 8 instead of the usual Max 6 I admit I won't blame you. But my idea was that all the characters get 2 lines from all 4 segments (though Luffy & Robin are a bit uneven in that regard but that will be slightly fixed in the revised script). Anyways here are the rules & guidelines here... *ahem*
* Impersonations are not required but feel free to pull them off if you can.
* Deadline is 9/20/18 though I may extend the deadline if necessary.
* If you are cast I may ask you to reprise for the role again sometime in the future.
* This is more of a suggestion but I do strongly recommend that if you audition that you should audition for at least more than one role. I admit I do try to keep the amount of auditioners who didn't get a role at all in any way to a minimum. So let’s just say it would help your chances.
Oh and before I introduce the Characters I shall do a little Pronounciation Guide for all the named characters here. Sure not all of it it may be necessary but for some of these characters it really is.

Sanji- Sahn-Gee

Okay now with all further or adieu here are the characters!
Greetings folks I am Pokejedservo and I have been a member of the Amatuer Voice Acting Community for over 10 years (namely ever since July 2006). I have not only been a voice actor but also a VA production producer though while most of the productions I have made are Fandubs over the years I have recently got into the wonderful world of Audioplays as well (and trying to dabble into Visual Novels). Here is the list of the tasks that I can do for a VA production.
- Voice Acting
- Production Producer
- Script Writer (especially if I wrote the story)
- Audio Editor
- Audio Mixer
- Video Dubbing
- Making Dialogue Scenes via MS Paint. (I am not a FanArtist but I can use pre-existing character & background pics to make dialogue scenes, I'll use this as an example).
I have been a voice actor and audio/visual editor and the like for over a decade and I have been a writer for over 2 decades. I admit when it comes to Voice Work I have yet to be given a proper formal training in any way but I have had plenty of experience in many fields of the voice acting process over the years. You can find more about my work at the Pokejedservo Productions site.
Voice Type : Moderate to Moderately High, Very Nasally, Energetic, Boastful to Cowardly
Reference Clips: https://www.behindthevoiceactors.com/voice-compare/One-Piece/Usopp/
Bio: The Sniper/Marksman of the Straw Hat Pirate and the star of the 2nd Segment in this production. Usopp is well known as a pathological liar & coward but is often the lovable coward archetype as he will get some courage when the situation truly calls for it. But one recurring plot point in this fic/production is the reminder of Usopp's old childhood friend/sweetheart Kaya who was the one who gave the Straw Hat crew the ship Going Merry when Usopp joined the crew. Namely just how close Usopp & Kaya were and how much Usopp does actually miss Kaya and think about her.
"1. (Trying to give Luffy "The Talk") Well as I was saying, you see Luffy when two people really like each-other they sometimes like to get alone and do things with each-other to show… affection to each other. |
"4. (Over-The-Top Proud to Shocked) Ah yes it’s only natural to humbly admit defeat to the Great Pirate Captain Usopp! After all none can overpower, outlast or even outsmart the almighty Pirate Captain Usopp! AHAHAHAHAHA! *beat* HEY WAIT A MINUTE! |
"7. (Agreeing with Roronoa, slightly smug) I know what you mean Zoro, I mean if Sanji really wants to impress the ladies he really should just come to me for advice. |
Voice Type: Moderate to Moderately Low, Slightly Rough, Smooth-Talker
Reference Clips: https://www.behindthevoiceactors.com/voice-compare/One-Piece/Sanji/
Bio: The Cook of the Straw Hat crew, the star of the 4th segment and is also well known for his various kick attacks. (In which he has a code in fighting such as using kick attacks only so he won't ever hurt his hands since he is a cook and has a strict no hitting women rule which has caused him some trouble.) Anyways Sanji is well known as a Casanova wannabe as he often hits on various beautiful ladies like Nami & Robin but has rarely if ever had any success. In which in this story he is often mocked due to his lack of success with the ladies but to be fair in his segment he does get to show off his prowess in making a fine meal though.
"1. (Smooth & Cocky) Yeah and to be honest that is fine with me. After all I am the Ladies Man of the crew so I figured that if anyone could teach our young captain about the joy of pleasuring the ladies it would be me. |
"4. (Amused & Cynical) *tch* Really Usopp, you’re going to make up a girlfriend just to save face? |
"7. (Smooth & Confident Intro) Hold it right there! I am Sanji, I was once known as one of the finest chefs from the Baratie. Perhaps you’ve heard of me, no? Well it doesn’t matter, for while yes I may be affiliated with a pirate crew but I am first and foremost certain other things such as a fighter… a chef, and of course a lover. I always did have a thing for the ladies especially voluptuous beauties such as Robin and Nami here. I would never allow a fiendish brute like you to lay a hand on a refined beauty such as Robin here. So to make a long story short if you try to take Robin, I will take you down. |
Voice Type: Moderately Low to Low, Manly, Stern, Tough
Reference Clips: https://www.behindthevoiceactors.com/voice-compare/One-Piece/Roronoa-Zoro-Zolo/
Bio: The Swordsman of the Straw Hat Crew and is the 2nd member of the team and often the 2nd in command. Roronoa was once known as a Pirate Hunter (and technically still is) but joined with Luffy after Luffy saved him from a crooked Marine which was the beginning of a trend regarding how Luffy gets crewmates sort to speak. Anyways while Roronoa is often known as one of the more serious members of the crew he is not incapable of having a sense of humor as this story will show. Namely how this story plays up Roronoa & Sanji's rivalry in all of the segments but would start picking fights with Sanji in Sanji's segment.
"1. (Calm & Non-Chalant) Heh don’t know how old Nami is, don’t care really. Since Nami is known for conning men with her looks I figured she would lie about her age. You know like what women like her often do? |
"4. (Calm, Firm but Understanding, Re: Chooper Aud Line 4) This is a part of going on a Journey there Chopper, it’s only natural to feel a little homesick every now & then. |
"7. (Smug Backhanded Compliment) Oh rest assured Sanji we all appreciate your culinary skills. It’s the one aspect of yours we are all appreciative of. |
Voice Type: Moderately Low to Low, Calm, Easy-Going, Middle-Aged
Reference Clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ToiVY8ONZjk (Hasn't had a Voice Compare yet)
Bio: Aokiji is a highly prominent Marine as he is one of the Admirals so he is one of the more powerful men in the Marine as he is very skilled with his ice powers. But while he has a very intimidating reputation and skills he is actually normally a very chill, laidback and kind of lazy guy when he is not doing his work but can be deadly serious when the situation calls for it. Anyways Aokiji does have a bit of a past with Robin which serves as a catalyst for this story in general. In which while Aokiji basically is the antagonist in this story but how much of a bad guy he is seems to be rather ambiguous.
"1. (Calm & Curious) Though what I wonder is that I can assume that most of you folks are grown men and ladies so why are you all following this kid around? I mean yeah, sure he is a super-powered kid thanks to his Devil Fruit but still… |
"4. (Faux Proud and Gleefully Facetious) You are absolutely right my good man, to judge a woman’s merit & value on her figure would indeed be callous. And your resolve on staying faithful to your dear lady Kaya is sincerely admirable. So I humbly admit defeat to you oh Great Pirate Captain Usopp as you truly have the Moral High Ground. Now I shall just simply take Robin with me and be on my way, farewell. |
"7. (Affably Evil) Ah I was wondering when my little “Surprise Seasoning” was going to take effect, maybe I seasoned the meals a little too lightly. |
Voice Type: Moderate to Moderately High, Energetic, Temperemental, Youthful, Can be Flirty
Reference Clips: https://www.behindthevoiceactors.com/voice-compare/One-Piece/Nami/
Bio: The 3rd member to join the Straw Hat Crew, the original woman in the team and the star of the 3rd segment in this story. Nami is well known as the Navigator of the crew and her original goal is to create the map of the world. Though Nami is also well known for her greed and love of money and would more than occasionally use her feminine wiles for it (though there was a rather tragic reason why earlier in the series though). However this series of segments does play up her temperemental side toward the guys but does have her nicer moments as well. In which in her segment does seem to play up her little "Womance" with Robin while in Luffy's segments brings up how Nami's looks have changed since early in the series. (Note: Nami will be the only character in this story who will use swear words but even then its fairly mild and only a few times just to let you know.)
"1. (Slightly disturbed by Luffy Aud Line 2) Eh Luffy is just being clueless again, right, right? |
"4. (Trying to explain something to Chopper) Well you see Chopper, Usopp and this girl Kaya were really close and as far as we know she is still at their old home town. |
"7. (Angry, Demanding) What part of “stay focused here” do you not understand? |
Voice Type: Moderately Low to Low, Alluring, Calm, Kind, Cool-headed
Reference Clips: https://www.behindthevoiceactors.com/voice-compare/One-Piece/Nico-Robin-Miss-All-Sunday/
Bio: The 7th member of the Straw Hat Crew, the Team Archeologist/Team Mom and the 2nd Woman in the team and is considerably calmer & more mature than her female cohort Nami. Oh yes and while she is one of the two titular characters in this story she barely has any lines in the 1st two segments but is much more talkative in the latter two though. Though Robin was originally an adversary of the Straw Hats during the Alabasta Arc as Miss All Sunday but then joined up with the Straw Hat crew afterwards in which they did take her in and she soon became a trusted ally. While certain Straw Hat members such as Nami was hesistant at letting Robin in at first but she and Nami soon became very close friends (in which this gets played up more in Nami's segment). But while Robin doesn't exploit her looks like what Nami would but she is not entirely above using her womanly allure either. However Robin is one of the more intellectual members of the team as she is often a voice of reason for the crew as well.
"1. (Calm Casual Exposition) Well they did defeat my old boss so I thought I would go with them. |
"4. (Slightly Flustered) Well uh… Aokiji, Nami and I are close but… well… |
"7. (Warm & Friendly, Small Laugh) Ah yes it’s so nice to see all of us having a nice meal like this together. |
Voice Type: Moderately High, Scratchy, Boyish, Friendly, Playful, Eager, Teenage
Reference Clips: https://www.behindthevoiceactors.com/voice-compare/One-Piece/Monkey-D-Luffy/
Bio: The Star & Hero of this Franchise and the Star of the 1st Segment in this Story. Monkey D. Luffy is a young boy of 17 (who normally sounds like he is 12, in which his segment actually does go into that). Anyways Luffy is the Captain of the Straw Hat Crew as he has the powers of the Gomu Gomu Fruit as he can make his body very elastic, rubbery & durable and has used his rubbery abilities in many ways mainly in battle. While Luffy is often crude, tactless and can be quite naive to put it mildly he can be a good boy at heart. But still Luffy's biggest desires are adventure, eating lots of tasty meat and a good fight as he aspires to one day be the King of Pirates. Oh yes and I know its a preferred tradition to have Luffy be voiced by a woman but I am open to a guy playing him but it can go either way I suppose.
"1. (Making a Grand Stand) Hey I’m not going to let you take Robin! Sure Robin may have been with bad people before but she really is not bad at all. She wanted to be with us and we want to be with her as she is our friend. So Robin is very special to me so I won’t let you take her! |
"4. (Cheerful, Curious) Say Usopp have you ever had sex with that lady Kaya back in your hometown? |
"7. (Having an Idea, Energetic) Yeah c’mon guys there is no need for that, oh I know, hey Sanji I got an idea. Instead of telling this guy how awesome of a Chef you are, why not show him how awesome you are. |
Voice Type: Moderately High to High, Cutesy, Friendly, Youthful, Boyish, Child
Reference Clips: https://www.behindthevoiceactors.com/voice-compare/One-Piece/Tony-Tony-Chopper/
Bio: Chopper is the 6th Member to join the Straw Hat Crew, the Doctor of the Crew and the youngest of the crew's members. When Chopper was once a normal reindeer but then he ate the Human-Human then he became a human/reindeer with the ability to speak like a human. (And also have the ability to have boost forms namely the ability to have a big bulky stronger form.) Anyways Chopper's ultimate goal is to be a great Doctor who can cure any disease as he was mentored by the likes of Hiruluk & Dr. Kureha in his homeland Drum Island. In this story he doesn't have that many lines as he only has about a couple of lines in the 1st 2 segments in which he does fare slightly better in the latter two.
"1. (Eager & Supportive) Yeah you tell him Luffy! |
"4. (Calm & Understanding, Re: Nami Aud Line 4) I can understand that, I do miss Dr. Kureha every now & then too. |
"7. (Uncertain but slightly hopeful) Well… maybe this Aokiji guy is not so bad after all. |
