Persona 5: The Animation- English Dub Season One [Emergency Recast: Morgana]
Project Overview
Hello everyone, this is Katie Grigry, one of the directors and writers for Persona 5: the Animation- English Dub! We are looking for a replacement for one of our lead roles, Morgana! We are very proud of our cast and currently are making great progress on season one, almost done with recording completely!
Because of this, before auditioning for Morgana we need you to be aware of a few things: unfortunately the line submission is going to be pretty rapid. We are willing to work with you as much as possible but we really need an actor or actress who will be on their A-Game!
Before you audition, please be sure you can meet these deadlines and are okay with it. Amount of lines in each episode vary, (3 lines at minimum, but being as much as 60 in the biggest episode for you- episodes 3 thought 8 will be the most intense, calming down towards the end of the season).
Please be aware we do everything on discord. We cannot wait to work with you!
If you have any questions please feel free to shoot a DM to either of the Persona 5 Directors.

One Week Left!
Oh my goodness Ryuji actors! Y'all are doing amazing! This is already going to be a tough choice! There's one more week to submit auditions!
Despite his cocky attitude, Morgana is actually quite level-headed, having the sense to know when it's best to retreat and fight another day, as well as often warning the others not to let their emotions get the better of them. However, this level-headedness is not absolute, as he's shown to get engrossed by stuff he perceives as valuable, especially "the embodiment of human desire". While appearing to be a cat, Morgana emphatically insists to be a human, and sticks with the team as he believes they'll be able to help him discover his origins and regain his true form. Morgana becomes irritated when he's called and being thought of as nothing more than a cat, as it lessens his sense of identity; this is likely one of the reasons that instigated his heated relationship with Ryuji Sakamoto. Despite this, sometimes he instinctively meows and self-grooms, being able to get used to his lifestyle as a cat easily. Despite this, he demonstrates a sense of morality, a rich dictionary and even exhibits a sense of style.
Shh! I’m not a cat! My name is Morganna. Hey, let’s make a deal. See that key? Use it to free me. If you do I’ll tell you all about this palace. Got a deal?
That’s right. Making him aware that the Treasure is being targeted will make it appear for the first time. Our calling card should make it possible to steal.
Good grief. I’m worried about us. You’re gonna train your ass off, now. After all, you’re supposed to be the leader of the Phantom Thieves!
Ryuji is known as a disruptive "problem student" at school whose bad behavior causes all sorts of trouble for the teachers. He is quite proud of his status as a self-proclaimed "troublemaker" and his rebellious, mischievous and disobedient nature are the perfect qualities to be a Phantom Thief.
(small exhale) Well, yeah. But they don’t care because he’s an Olympic gold medalist who took the volleyball team to nationals. And he acts all friendly. Him being king of the castle felt way too real because of that. Sheesh, I don’t get this whole thing at all! It was a dream! It had to be a dream!
(As Captain Kidd) You seek power, correct? Then let us form a pact. Since your name has already been disgraced why not hoist the flag and wreak havoc? The “other you” who exists within desires it thus. I am thou, thou art I… There is no turning back. The skull of rebellion is your flag henceforth!
(laugh) This is my Persona? Right on! With power like this… it’s payback time, you son of a bitch!
Futaba Sakura is a bright and energetic young woman, but she is shy around strangers. She is a member of the Phantom Thieves taking the role of Navigator. She is known for being excellent at computers, hacking with ease. The actress that plays her needs to be able to portray an innocent, nerdy vibe with a strong voice that can come off scared and anxiety driven as well. The actress that plays her also needs to be aware that Futaba is featured in the first episode but doesn't become prominent until the beginning of Season 2.
The lack of attraction, the weak body mass, and unrecognizable face? Mishima, Are you a NPC?
I won't let those distorted lies deceive me anymore... And I won't be led astray by other's voices either... I'm going to trust my own eyes and my own heart to distinguish the truth from the lies. There's no way you're my mom! You're just a fake created by those horrid adults! I'll... I'll never... I'll never forgive them!
If I only act for my own's sake, I can't put all my full effort into it anymore. But when I remember my friends... and you... it's like I'm tapping into some kind of unknown power!
Caroline and Justine are Twin Wardens, and the Velvet Room attendants. Caroline is bright and fiery, Justine is cool and composed. The actress that plays this character needs to have the two sound distinct in their voices, but needs them to sound close enough to each other that it is obvious they are twins. They actress needs to also have a subtle air of mystery to her voice as these characters are mysterious when looking into them.
Caroline: Those who oppose fate and desire change… From time to time, they were referred to as Tricksters.
Justine: You are the Trickster…
Caroline and Justine: Now is the time to rise against the abyss of distortion in this world.
Iwai is gruff on the outside but ultimately has a good heart.. He is the owner of a model gun shop and represents the Hanged Man Arcana. The actor that plays him needs to be intimidating in his voice.
So tell me… where’d you guys get this?
You help me out with my "business"... Smugglin' goods, destroyin' evidence... And as a reward, I'll introduce you to the "special menu," with good prices for a punk like you. ...Whaddaya say? Not bad, huh?
...Waddaya say? Not bad, huh?
Ohya is bright and inquiring, as well as drunk. She represents the Devil Arcana. The actress that plays her needs to be able to portray a seemingly care-free person with a darker side hidden to her. As far as her drunkenness goes, she needs to be played naturally, not becoming satire as drunken people are sometimes portrayed.
It’s suspicious that he went to the trouble of putting up a name plate. (suspicious sound) A high school girl? (startled sound) (scream) You scared me!
There’s something that I want you to do for me. You’re from Shujin, right? You were wearing their uniform last time. Then you know about the Phantom Thieves of Hearts, right?
You should probably investigate further. I’m not responsible for anything that’ll happen! Lala-chan! A glass of juice! For the kid~
"Suguru Kamoshida, the utter bastard of lust..." Kamoshida, to those who don't realize, is a charismatic man with an impressive repertoire, having won a medal in the Olympics in volleyball. He is the volleyball coach at the school. He treats his team like slaves, craves the female students, and creates horrible reputations for students he dislikes. The actor that plays him needs to be able to play both charming and disgusting.
Hey, are you the new transfer student? You must have big balls to be late on your first day. And you’re too relaxed, Sakamoto. And you’re missing too many days of school! Quite a difference from when you were back on] the track team.
How dare you speak to the king that way? It seems that you just don’t know your place. Not only did you sneak into my castle, you committed the unforgivable crime of insulting the king. The only proper punishment for this is death.
What did you do to my trophy! Here, my famous kill-shot known worldwide! Gold Medal Attack!
Madarame is a seemingly quiet and humble old man, content to live with his art and his student, Yusuke. In reality, he is greedy, stopping at seemingly nothing to bring more money and fame to his name, stepping on everyone in his path. The only person more extravagant than he is, is his shadow. The actor for needs to be able to portray humble and modest juxtaposed to extreme arrogance.
I find it hard to put into words, but I, find that the art pieces well up form within my heart, similar to bubbles rising to the surface of a spring. What’s important is distancing oneself from worldly desires like fame and fortune. My atelier is a modest shack, but it’s more than enough to purse true beauty.
Heh. Ordinary people are the ones who should feel ashamed. They can’t distinguish between a real and fake, but they throw money at me for the works of my pupils. As long as it has my name on it, it doesn’t matter!
(evil laugh) Is that all you’ve got? Give up!
Kaneshiro is a man of the dark world, hidden in the shadows, preying on those that are weak, not hiding his evil intentions. He is not afraid to exhort people. The actor that plays him needs to be able to play a greedy, evil man. In addition he needs to be able to attempt rapping, as his boss fight includes him rapping. As it is a comedic scene the rapping does not necessarily have to be good as long as the acting is good.
Can’t you tell? I don’t appreciate the stunt you guys pulled coming here. I spend money to relieve my stress. But now there’s an empty space and I’m going to get pissed off if it’s not filled. I’m a perfectionist. So fill the spot. Good luck.
You people are slaves. I hope you’re ready to work for the rest of your lives. I’m gonna swarm all over you and squeeze out every penny. (laugh)
(rapping) (Note, the is about 3 lines squished together to make a rap. The rap does not have to be good. It's a comedic boss fight. We will work with you and help you with this scene.) Here we go! You wanna fight you little shits? Let’s come on out and go! Let’s go bro, you wanna come and go? Comin’ at me with an attack like that feels just like a thumbtack. Here my attack starts, now come and steal my heart. My big money pig!
One of the major antagonists of the anime, Shido is a politician looking to become Japan's Prime Minister. In front of the voter's he puts on a facade of kindness and generosity, but behind closed doors he is ruthless, self serving man. The voice actor for him needs to portray charming and sinister equally well.
Hey. Make this statement to the cops. 'This kid suddenly attacked me.' Got it? If you even try to say anything else, you know what'll happen to you, right?
Damn brat... I'll sue!
There is no need for thieves in my mighty country... Only myself and the ones who revere me are needed.
The SIU Director immediately comes off as suspicious. He a crooked officer who doesn't care about the law as long as his wallet is lined. The actor that plays him needs to be able to portray this suspicious nature in an authoritative, yet possibly submissive, non-parodied way.
I knew I wouldn’t win when you’re like this, so I went ahead and cleared it with them. Good luck to you, but I won’t be expecting much.
Don’t make me repeat myself. Niijima, this case is already out of our hands-
Nakanohara is a former student of Madarame. Initially he comes off as a villain, but becomes a character to be pitied. The actor needs to be able to portray submissive and fearful without being over the top.
I’m sure you’ve heard the name before. An artist- Ichiryusai Madarame.
I don’t want that to happen again. He still has one pupil. [I asked him if he found it painful, to be unable to leave Madarame, and do you know what his pupil said? If I could leave, I would!
There are plenty of people out there, (pause for 1 second) who are far worse than MEEEEEEEEEE! (hold the “ME!” for about 3-4 seconds)
The MetaNav is the application that allows the Phantom Thieves to slip in and out of the MetaVerse. The actress needs to play the MetaNav as monotone, without being creepy.
You have returned to the real world. Welcome back.

Guess the drugs were too strong… Wake up! Huh? What about the camera? Are you thinking it can be used as video evidence? Well it seems that you’re not that stupid. I’m telling you now, don’t think you’ll get out of here easily. Obstruction of Justice, blackmail, defamation, possession of weapons… Manslaughter too huh? We have a full course here.

He said get in, bitch.
