Play It Cool, Guys | English Fandub

Project Overview

Play it Cool, Guys does not have an English dub – so we're making it. 

The show is a slice of life comedy anime revolving around four naturally clumsy people. Despite their slip ups, they are always able to maintain their composure. However, it is actually their airheaded natures that makes the girls' hearts throb. No matter what happens in their daily lives, the boys of the Play it Cool gang do their best not to lose their cool!

Project Details

  • This is a long term project, lasting from half a year to a full year

  • Communication will be on a discord server

  • Hoping to keep the cast small and give each VA lines as often as I can, so that everyone can contribute to the project (hence the double casting)

  • Hoping to release an episode every week on Youtube but might change it to every other week

    • Line submissions occur every two weeks (maximum 20 minutes of line in total)

    • If lines are not submitted by the deadline, I will send a message the following day

    • Until lines can be submitted again, I will find a substitute VA just to keep the releases going

  • No payment as of the moment, but if the channel starts making money, I will share it with everyone in the project

Audition Guidelines

  • Please include your discord handle in your audition description

  • Please time your lines with the starting and stopping of mouth movements or recorded lines in the provided vocal reference

  • Maximum of two takes per line, preferably in ABAB format

  • Goes without saying that a good mic with minimal background noise would be great

Latest Updates

  • Roles Casted + First Episode Releases 4/12

    Hello everyone!

    Apologies for the delay and thank you for patiently waiting!

    I was originally planning on releasing the cast list a week after, but my team and I genuinely had a tough time picking from everyone's auditions. A lot of talented people have sent in auditions and, in the end, difficult decisions had to be made.

    Thank you to everyone who auditioned! If you would like any feedback on your submission, feel free to reach out via DM!

    Our first episode will be released on 4/12. Check out https://www.youtube.com/@Torlux-VA for updates!

  • (Almost) All Callbacks Sent + Production Update

    Hey everyone! I've sent out messages to people asking for callbacks.

    If you got them, you will have until next weekend to submit them.

    If you didn't get a message, don't worry! Not everyone I'm considering for a role got a callback message.

    I will still be sending out callback messages if I think it is needed to anyone who submits in the next 8 hours. Otherwise, feel free to send in auditions until the end of the week.

    The team is currently working on scripts and opening song right now. We'll be up and ready to start recording on March 6th. First episode release will be on April 5th!

    Thank you once again for everyone's auditions. I hope you continue to support the production!

  • Extending for Callbacks!

    Heya! Thank you so much to everyone who has auditioned to far! I can already tell that I'm going to have to make some rough choices for these roles.

    Just a quick update, I will start DMing people tomorrow to ask for some additional takes or to send in an audition for another role. If you don't get one, don't worry as I may just think the lines you did were perfect.

    You can submit the auditions until next week but note that I will not be sending callbacks for people who submit past tomorrow.

    All the best to everyone auditioning! And thank you once again!

Minor Character


Aoyama is a member of the handball club and a friend of Shun's. He is less talkative than his teammates, but he's always blunt and straight to the point. 


There's also a couple of kids that come up on the show, mostly younger versions of the other characters. Since Aoyama has a high range voice, we're hoping that his VA could also voice some of the kids.
