PocketTrouble!! (Comic Dubs, Ask videos and more.)

Project Overview

Explainer video explains stuff... *GASPS!!*

Okay so to start off, thank you for even bothering showing up to my casting call! Hopefully you'll like what you see here!

So long story short, I'm an artist that draws comics and stuff, mostly around the theme of Pokémon and I decided to give my comics, ask blogs and characters voices to call their own.
My comics usually revolve around a Trainer named Thwill (hEh! ThaT'S mY uSeRnaME!) that always ends up being turned into a Pokémon and how his Pokémon have to switch between their original forms and gijinkas to cover up for him.
It's typically slice of life and humor related for now but I'm already widening my horizon, this project being part of my plan.
As for the ask blogs well, that's self explanatory. My fans ask questions and the characters respond to them.
A fair warning though, 

this project is basically a "never-ending" one really until said otherwise, the same way long running soap-operas are still a thing or popular shonen anime can live a while. Since my comics rarely go over 3 pages long and asks posts can be as long as we need team to be, I'll never really require a huge block of lines on ridiculous deadlines so it should be manageable even with other projects.

Since I'm the one that'll be drawing the art and editing the vids (until I get myself an editor), the video posting speed obviously won't be anything to write home about for the time being which should give a decent enough margin to work with.
Once I cast you, you'll pretty much become the character. So I want to avoid recasts as much as possible. Nothing would be more immersion breaking than the same character changing voices every 3 comics, so please... don't partake on this journey if you can't commit. I beg of you ;v;


OKAY SO NOW FOR THE LIGHTING ROUND OF QUESTIONS!:


"About the Money?"

  • The pays listed are just for the initial casting until I get more of an earning thanks to my art and videos, hope you understand that I'm just a humble dude not made out of money.

"Is my Microphone Quality good enough?"
  • Clear and distinguishable voices with little to no echoing and noise, which typically goes USB mics and up, with exceptions of course. I know some built in mics can be pretty good.
  • I'll be pretty uncompromising on that considering I'll be taking money out of my very personal pockets to pay my actors.

"Why is there an empty role in the Casting Call"
  • This is just the initial line up! Other character should be up soon!
  • So it's just to give a heads up that there is more to come.

"Will I get paid more in the future?"
"How long is this project going to take?"
"How much commitment will I have to pour into this?"
  • You shouldn't audition just for the pay, but because you like voice acting and (or) see potential in this project to grow. This is really important because the payment will mainly depend on the success of the project. If you are not ready to a while without getting paid a bunch then... it pains me to say but please. leave. I can't promise success, but let's all have fun with this and see where the road take us!

"I've read through all the boring stuff, can the fun start now?!?"
  • Hahaha! Yeah! This was painful to type! Have fun auditioning to your heart's content and hope you get the role!


If you have any questions, don't be afraid to ask me.

Did I forget to mention something? Probably...
Guess I'll update it in later if it's important! Doodles~

Latest Updates

  • The 1st round of casting over! (Kip, Sec, Mao & Ele) but casting for Extras are still open.

    So it's finally upon us, the first round of casting!! Boy this was tough. I knew I wasn't going to be able to pick by myself from the start, so that's why I got my friends involved. Not gonna lie... YOU GUYS WERE SO GOOD YOU MADE US FIGHT EACH OTHER OVER WHO WE WERE GOING TO CAST!!! But we still somehow managed to pick one main and back-up actor for every role. We also took notes on who we'll be contacting for future roles. With of that said, THANK YOU ALL FOR AUDITIONING! The people that were cast and their back-up voices will be contacted and added to the project's Discord server. Obviously, the back-up voices will be allowed to decline if they feel so obliged. The deadline will be extended for the sake of Extra voices since those are always appreciated. More characters are coming eventually. But whether they will appear on this casting call or another, we'll have to see. Whatever works best I guess?
  • Major Update #1: New Female Character! & Pushed Deadline.

    First of all, I'd love to thank all of you for the amazing auditions! I wasn't expecting this much quality this fast and it's great all around! So to celebrate I've got good news! We've got a new character in our lineup now! So Voice Actresses rejoice! Elécray the Hardy Luxray! So if you're interested come and give her a shot! I want apologize for not having a better female line up from the start so hopefully this makes up for it! And I'll be delaying the deadline too! Giving how I'm in the middle of the Inktober art challenge and that a brand new character has been added, that coupled with personal life junk, the deadline has been set back past November. Hope y'all understand! Also a new character should be added in by the time the next big update comes out. That and negotiations to get myself an Editor are still going on. Some roles might get cast early depending on circumstantial stuff. Did I forget anything? Uuuuuuh... Oh well! See ya next update!

Élé the Elecray
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to: SeterraVA

Nickname: Élé (Ey-L-Ey)
Gender: Female ♀️
Nature: Hardy
Ability: Guts
Lv: 80
Item: Quick Claw
Characteristic: Somewhat Vain
Achievement(s): Pokémon Musical Coolness winner

Details: 

Elé is quite the mysterious individual... pokémon... (WHATEVER FLOATS YOUR BOAT) and seems to be quite reclusive for a Luxray.

She's a recent addition to the team so no one really knows anything about her even though she appears to be the nihilistic hard-ass.

However, even if she does appear to just belike a stereotypical punk cat at first glance but her scars and body show that she's more than what she lets on and that she's been through a lot, which could possibly explain why she doesn't open up much.

Okay for the sake of this argument and to keep it short, she's emo and possibly goth. Pretty emo, even.
So deep, threatening, punk-girl-ish yet still not unnecessarily edgy would be optimal for Elé. 
I want her voice to really give off a strong and dignified street punk feel while still sounding distant and disinterested. 
So if you have an idea for an accent or anything else that could suit her character, go crazy.

As for a reference voice, a mix between Panne's tone from Awakening: https://youtu.be/PddIfwsmi1I?t=12m3s
And Raven's delivery from Teen Titan 2003: https://youtu.be/gXX0TzKXEgU


  • (Introducing herself and sounding really closed off and hostile)"Tsh! What do you want?... My name you, you ask?... Elé, now get lost. Hmph!"  

  • (Proud and irritated)"You damn dirty lizard! Don't you understand the concept of personal boundaries?! Or am I going to have to knock it down that thick reptilian skull of yours?!"
    (Quick sounds she lets out often, à la Link from Legend of Zelda)"*Grunting* *Snarl* *Grrrrrrrrr* *HMPH!* *Tsssh!*  *Muffled grumbling* *Really forceful sounding mumbling*·"

  • (Flustered and slightly ashamed, slowly mellowing out)"L-look! This has nothing to do with you... B-but... *Low-key shy snarl* ...can you promise to keep this between the both of us please? I beg of you... I really don't what news of this to get out. *Sighs* ... I'm still not all that proud of such an odd hobby... Grrrrrr..."

Mao the Salandit
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to: JaydeFox

Nickname: Maokohelimo, or just Mao for intimates and lazy people  (Ma-OH)
Full name:
Maoli Kolole Hehena Pilikia Mo' o 
Gender: Had to manually be registered as Male to Mao's great dismay
Nature: Quirky
Ability: Corrosion
Lv: 35
Item: Poisonium Z
Characteristic: Very Finicky
Achievement(s): None

Details: 

Mao is one unstable tiny lizard. Which is proven by the fact that this scaly devil hijacked a fisherman boat, ditched it along the way and swam to reach the crew in Hoenn all the way from Alolan for "personal reasons". A feat made rather impressive (and terrifying) by Mao's Fire/Poison typing. After making a mess out of Thwill (the trainer) & Co.'s house, the salandit was forced to stick around to work and compensate for all of the property damage that corrosive poison caused. Oh well.

Mao is an open book personality wise. When something troubles the kid, it's made way obvious by the means of body language and explosive reactions. Mao is quite snarky and sly, in addition of having a weird way of thinking. Mao's actions are rarely the result of malicious intent as much as the outcome of loopy logic. Mao is in no way dumb though. Having grown up on the isolated on top of Mount Wela with Salazzle mama and siblings, Mao is more so ignorant than stupid. However thanks to that background, Mao is an adept of tribal dancing and can be quite ecstatic in the face of learning.

Like I mentioned earlier, Mao's pretty transparent when it comes to feelings. When the lizard hates someone, it's more than apparent and vice versa. Mao also tends to slip some Alolan words into dialogue.


Alright so in terms of roles! Mao's the wild card, the Pokémon that has to be on lock down or else the wrath of Go- Arceus hits.
Always getting in trouble for all the wrong reasons and somehow not die. Bombastic and Quirky sum up this Salandit pretty well.
A pre-teen or a low female (really high male) ranged voices are what I imagined, for Mao.
Slightly raspy and right in the middle of good old awkward puberty to match the looniness of the character.
And to top it all off, a Filipino/Hawaiian accent would be optimal as you know... ALOLA and tribalness.

As for a reference voice, Tsuyu Asui's dub voice could be a good aim: https://youtu.be/-S1vjKJIv5M?t=33s
And if you need reference for the Hawaiian words and pronunciation, I also got you covered: https://youtu.be/HZYT5GnyMVQ
For those reasons, I figured that females would be more an easier time voicing Mao but guys can take a shot at it too!

  • (Got interrupted during tribal during practice and looks rather irritated)"Keh?! Who are you supposed to be?...  Me? I guess I go by Mao now. A'ole pilikia... NOW GET OUT I'M BUSY!"
    (Grumbling and mumbling)"Stupid stupid dummies with their silly smart mouths... I'll show them a job well done alright!..."

  • (Starts out super intimidating and hostile before getting an ego rub on the right side of the scales and becoming super cheery)"What's this silly envelop doing in my quarters? You're dare give me your garba- what?... That's a gift?!... ... ......Kyekeheheheheee! Of course! Ahahaha you totally should have! Alright then, I'll forgive this infringement on my personal space this time. I'm in a good mood. Hana hou!~"

  • (Is salty about being second place and is having a tantrum... before calming down and being cute moody)"*SCREEEEECH* S-SHUT IT! I don't need your pity! Maha'oi... I... I'll win next time! You'll see! *Sniffles*"

Kip The Swampert
closed
Unpaid
cast offsite

Nickname: Kip
Gender: Male ♂
Nature: Docile
Ability: Torrent
Lv: 52
Item: Swamperite (Worn on his Mega Armring)
Characteristic: Capable of taking hits
Achievement(s): Cuteness Master Ribbon Winner

Details:
Kip is probably the most down to earth Pokémon on the team. His docile nature can make him quite the pushover sometimes as he always had a weak physique compared to his pairs.
Yet he lacks nothing the spirit and kindness departments. He's always wears his heart on his sleeve and tries his best at everything he does.
His altruism tends to burn him out as he has the good (and bad, depending on how you want to look at it) habits of over-sympathizing with others and picking up their slack. His immense adaptability and mellow demeanor makes him quite the asset in most scenarios.
But don't be fouled. Once he stands his ground, he may stumble, he may waver, but he won't fall.


Alright so in terms of roles! He's the cinnamon roll, probably the most grounded in the group personality wise.
The average joe that tries his best because he knows that he'll fall behind everyone otherwise.
A medium ranged, late teen-ish voice, would suit him best. 
He's the "relatable normie" so his voice should reflect that much. Something gentle and comforting, like a good trusty friend.
Something around the lines his voice in this dub I made (maybe even slightly higher): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NmZ7X2T6YJ4&t=6s
(His old voice actor is rather busy with college last time I've checked and we haven't talked in several months, so I'm doing this just in case he doesn't come back.)
But I'm open to girls voicing him if their voices are deep enough! I can imagine him never completely hitting puberty too. XD

  • (Getting caught by surprise and introducing himself, slightly embarrassed)"U-uhm.. Hello! I'm Kip the Swampert.  Yup yup! That's me! Pleased to meet you."
    (Comforting and reassuring)"Don't worry! We'll have nothing to regret if we do our best, right? Hehe."

  • (Doubting himself but slowly staying determined) "I know... I know that I'm weak... I know that there isn't much that I can do about it. But that's exactly I have to keep trying!"

  • (Taking charge in a demanding tone, "trying" to sound angry before deflating)"Okay guys! We need to clean the house before the guests arrive! *Sigh* Busting a Mamoswine sized hole in the wall clearly wasn't the best idea to cross your minds this week... "

Sec The Blaziken
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to: Taglio918

Nickname: Sec
Gender: Male ♂
Nature: Adamant
Ability: Speed Boost
Lv: ???
Item: Blazikenite (Worn on his belt)
Characteristic: Alert to sounds
Achievement(s): Coolness Master Ribbon Winner

Details: 
Sec is a simple Blaziken, in the mind and at heart. He loves fighting, training and getting stronger, he's pretty adamant (HAH!) about those things. This guy is nonchalantly super hard-headed and won't run away from a good sparring session or challenge no matter what!
Other than that, don't be fooled by his Bruce Lee physique! He's actually quite the likeable and genuine air-head, a condensed mass of obliviousness and childlike innocence. Though he has somewhat grown in maturity over time, he's basically still the equivalent of an overgrown man-child with the potential of a small atom bomb.
He also REAAAALLY likes kicking stuff... and doesn't use doors for some reason.

Alright so in terms of roles! He's the hype man, the oblivious bro! Basically think DBZA Goku personality wise.
For his voice, I'm really not sure. I can imagine him having a young adult-ish voice as much as can hype-ish teenage voice. Heck, even a kid voice à la Naruto could possibly work.
When he's not yelling and hyped out of his mind his english is pretty bro-ey and lax, not quite thug and gangster but more so the kind of chill dude you'd want to hang out with. So kind of low-key surfer dude I suppose.
So being able to both do passionate and oblivious is pretty important for voicing Sec.

For vocal range reference,  something around those parameters should do: 
Kirishima from My Hero Academia: https://youtu.be/RmrNuun1BJk (Adult voice)
Or Michelangelo from TMNT 2013: https://youtu.be/bEul-DWdtQI?t=6m6s (Teen Voice)

Either way, I guess you can go crazy as long as you see that it fits with his character.
So girls with deep enough voices can try it out too!

  • (Confident and grinning his teeth out)"Heya people! The name's Sec, nice to meetcha! Ya look real strong! Wanna fight?!"
    (Overly casual yet pretty insistent)"C'mooon Sensei! Lemme have a rematch withcha!"

  • (Sounding over-dramatically motivated while explaining his training regiment)"PUSH-UPS TILL I DROP! SQUATS TILL I FALL FLAT!! AND RUNNING TILL MY LEGS AIN'T FEELING A THING!!!"

  • (Chillax and oblivious to the trouble he's in)
    Look, I'm real sorry 'bout the whole wall bustin' thing. Your aura is out of whack with stress. So how about we chill, 'kay bud?"
