Persona 5 Comic Anthology Dub [FINAL DEADLINE]
Project Overview
Hey there! My name is Trickster and I'm a voice actor.
I'm looking for video editors, sound engineers and voice actors for this project and other future projects.
Persona 5 (ペルソナ5) is a JRPG that mixes elements of slice-of-life and fantasy into one. It follows the protagonist (Ren/Akira) as he forms a vigilante group known as The Phantom Thieves to steal the hearts of corrupt adults and reform the unjust society that is thrust unto them.
Persona 5 Dengeki Comic Anthology is a collection of short stories by various artists. In this project, we will be dubbing 11 chapters of the first volume of the anthology. Proper credit will be given to the artists and translators of the anthology.
Please read the rules and guidelines before auditioning for this project. Thank you and best of luck!
RULES/GUIDELINES:
- This project will be LONG TERM, so audition at your own risk. There will be multiple chapters to the comic anthology, so you need to be dedicated to your role/character.
- This is a fan project, so it will be UNPAID. As much as I would love to pay the voice actors for their exceptional work, this is a fan-made passion project and will not be paid.
- Familiarity with the Persona/SMT series is not required to audition.
- If you are casted for this project, you may be called back for other projects.
- You may audition for multiple roles, but you can only have a maximum of 2 ROLES if you are casted.
- You MUST HAVE GOOD AUDIO QUALITY. Please have little to no background noise while you are recording your auditions.
- Record each line twice in AABBCC format. Basically what this means is to record the same line in a different intonation a second time. This is so I can get a better grasp of your acting capabilities.
- YOU WILL NEED DISCORD. The project will be taking place in a Discord server where assignments will be handed out and submissions will be handed in. Please provide your Discord username/tag in your audition.
- You will need to be comfortable with CUSSING/SWEARING.
- Auditions using AI WILL NOT be accepted.
- ABOVE ALL Please SHOW RESPECT to your fellow VAs and directors. TOXICITY OR HARASSMENT OF ANY KIND WILL NOT BE TOLERATED.
PLEASE NOTE: "SIGNIFICANCE" refers to a role's significance in the comic anthology, not the game.
Major character = Multiple chapters
Minor character = Few chapters and/or few pages
Very minor character = One page or few lines of dialogue
ROLES TAKEN:
- Ren Amamiya/Akira Kurusu (Joker)
