Blazblue: Slice of Life [1F] (Blazblue Animated Parody Series)
Project Overview
Hey guys! My name is DEEsidia, but you can call me Dee!
I am an abridger/ parody artist. I am well known for my work on D.Gray-Man Abridged, Blazblue: Another Memory and Blazblue: Slice of Life. Which is what this audition thread is for!
Project Information:
The series Blazblue: Slice of Life is an animation parody series using the assets from Blazblue's "Teach Me! Miss Litchi!". It takes the existing character's traits to a whole new level. Ragna being the absolute straight man, Jin being as weird and questionable than ever, Noel being a foul mouthed aggressive asshole, Tsubaki being able to get so mad she destroys the world and Hazama being... Hazama.
The story follows the adventures of the Blazblue cast in their everyday ridiculous antics. Y'know, recreating the birth of baby Jesus with Noel, Tsubaki causing a continuum shift destroying time and space, Ragna and Hazama going into alternate dimensions, the list goes on. This series started a year ago to accompany Blazblue: Another Memory, but has now grown strong enough to be a series on its own that will carry on for a long time. Everyone apart of this project is like a kind of family and love the project dearly. So now I'm looking for capable voice actors to fill in some vacant roles to bring life to some more characters for the future.

Production Expectations
I'm fun loving to an extreme, but I still bring a professional work ethic to my projects. So I'm quite strict with my voice actors when necessary. So here are my conditions
Decent quality microphones. No webcam or internal microphones. Anything of low standards will be passed over immediately.
Must have some acting experience. It doesn't matter if you can do the voice if you cannot convince the audience that you are the character. Again, anything of low standards will be passed over immediately.
Should moderately know the source material (Blazblue) to some extent. If not, then that is alright.
Skype and E-Mail is crucial. It is crucial that you have at least one of these as line directing is always required. Sometimes we do group readings too to build relationships with each other. So keep that in mind.
Must be punctual with lines. I usually ask for lines for Slice of Life in 9-10 days after the script is given. Each episode is short and is not too time consuming. But I'm well aware of the fact that people are busy sometimes, so I'm usually a pushover and give an extension of four days most of the time.
VA's SHOULD be 18 or over. Everything in Slice of Life is 18+ humor, so there's a lot of sex jokes, controversial issues, slight racism, violence, pedophilia jokes, nature that may or may not be politically correct and just absolute nonsense. So yea, NO KIDDIES ALLOWED! FOR YOUR SAKE!
Must be able to bring life into the character and give a believable performance. I'm not specifically asking for a carbon copy of the original English VA's, but if you're not able to do that then a good interpretation of the character is also acceptable. They are not the same characters you're used to seeing, so different interpretations of their voice and delivery of lines will show your creativity and also acting capabilities. So sometimes research on your character is required.
Dedication and passion towards the project. VA's who actually enjoy and put effort into the project usually give out the best performances. It's not really required but it would be in everyone's best interest if you enjoyed what you were doing with your role.
Overall, should be able to integrate with the group and other cast members. We're all fun loving, vulgar and entertaining people. Getting to know other voice actors and the directors to build that relationship makes the project all the more fun for everyone.
This is a project for everyone to enjoy, so bringing the right attitude to the project would be great. Audition wise, I'd like three takes of each line. If you want to ad-lib to show creativity, then that will give you more of a chance of getting the role. Alrighty I won't go on for any longer, I put to much in here already. So if there are any other questions, feel free to E-Mail me at [redacted] or private messages on YouTube.

Even if you don't want to audition, it would be great if you shared this with other voice actors to widen the search. I don't want brilliant voice actors to miss auditioning for something that MAY want to voice in. I use "may" to not sound too pretentious. Thanks for reading this long ass description! Good luck to everyone auditioning!

English voice actor: Patrick Seitz
Japanese voice actor: Tomokazu Sugita
Synopsis: Ragna is the grumpy protagonist of the series. In Slice of Life, he plays the freeloading straight man. He mostly spends his time watching weird YouTube videos, trying to escape from the harsh reality that everyone's either trying to kill him or make love to him. Sometimes both. He's the definition of "unlucky".
Voice: For his voice, I'm looking for a low sounding voice. Since he's a kind of a delinquent, a gruff kind of anti hero anime voice can work for the character. Being able to capture his anger and irritation is required. Patrick Seitz and Tomokazu's interpretations are good examples to work off of.
Line 1: "*Angry* My name is Ragna the Bloodedge! And I'm gonna kick your ass!"
Line 2: "*Annoyed/ exasperated* Dammit Hazama! What the hell did you do now!?"
Line 3: "*In wonder* Huh. That's weird... The Azure Grimoire seems to be on the fritz again. I must have been using it too much last ni- I mean... When I was battling... That's definitely it."
English voice actor: Philece Sampler
Japanese voice actor: Chiwa Saito
Synopsis: Taokaka is presumably a cat person from the Kaka village. She has a close relationship with Litchi, seeing her as a role model (Which is totally a bad idea). She is the dumbest of the people in the Blazblue cast. Her humor is executed in the style of Ed from "Ed, Edd 'n' Eddy" as her intelligence is very relative to that character. She also shows signs that she holds a deep desire to rule the world under an iron paw, making all the Blazblue cast her loyal slaves. She is another person who is found in the weirdest places at the weirdest time. Mostly in a position of power or supremacy. She usually appears randomly throughout the series and usually writes random idiocy on Litchi's blackboard, to signal that she's always around. Watching... Everything...
Voice: Medium- high. She's a cat girl, so her style of speech is that of a cutesy feline. She's a big dork, and often refers to herself in third person. She also likes to end her sentences with "Meow" which annoys the other characters. Something along the lines of the original English VA would work best, but it is open to interpretation.
Line 1: "*Excited* Hey Rawgna! Fancy meeting you here! *Sneaks up to him* Hey, you got any food, meow?"
Line 2: "*Happily* Tao came from Tao's parents, Eddy!"
Line 3: "*Cheery* One day, Tao will claim the power of the gods and rule with an iron paw! Rawgna will be my attendant while you, hipster person (Referring to Hazama), will be my jester!"
English voice actor: Cindy Robinson
Japanese voice actor: Tomomi Isomura
Synopsis: Makoto is a squirrel girl (Beastkin) who is the former classmate of Jin Kisaragi, Noel Vermillion, Carl Clover and Tsubaki Yayoi. Makoto is the silly and energetic one of Slice of Life who is sometimes a trouble maker. Her crude and loud attitude makes her more adaptable with Noel. She has a love/ hate relationship with Hazama, her superior, as both of them have a love for mischeif. Since she's usually hyper, she's usually found in the weirdest places and the weirdest situations.
Voice: Medium- high. Something that can capture her cute and quirky attitude. She usually talks quite a lot at a moderately fast pace, think along the lines of Bugs Bunny. She uses hip lingo like "Mr. H" and "Rags", so keep that in mind.
Line 1: "*Chuckles* C'mon, Mr. H. It's not like I skipped work on purpose. I just "accidentally" forgot to turn my alarm off."
Line 2: "*Casually* Nailed it."
Line 3: "*Wonders* Huh. How DID I get here...? *Gives up* I dunno."
