Thank you so much AGAIN!
I am honestly beyond words at how big this gotten.
I was very busy the Last couple days, but I will see and finish the casting today!
Thank you all for your Effort and time! It really means alot!
... Quite literally so because this Game never featured voice acting. Well, until now.
## DEADLINE EXTENDED TO THE FIFTH OF NOVEMBER. ##Hello and welcome to dubbing one of my all-time favorite games! Thanks for checking this out!
Pokémon Mystery Dungeon is a spinoff Pokémon Game, developed by ChunSoft in 2004 which features – in my opinion – one of the best and most gripping Stories about friendship in Gaming History, combined with a stupidly addictive gameplay formula, nowadays known as dungeon crawling.
And of course, it was a huge hit back then and became an absolute classic title ever since.
The Goal of this Project is to dub the full game. And when I say that, I mean the FULL Game.
That means I need atleast 60 Voices total across this entire thing.
And that is exactly, why you are here right now! :)
The sheer size of this Project will help me finetune my direction skills with bigger projects, while also giving tribute to one of the best games ever made.
I am of course an avid Enjoyer of shitposting, but this Dub is going to be legit. Well, aiming too anyway.
The Story has some very serious, emotional parts and I want to do them justice.
There is a time and a place for silly Jokes – and trust me, there are a few of those in here.
This Project will be done in parts, each around an Hour long, which will be uploaded to YouTube afterwards.
For reference, the first part has 6500 Words.
With all that in mind let us fly by the rules real quick, so we’re all on the same page here:
- The recording Quality of your Audio can be unedited of course, but should include minimal natural reverb and white noise.
- Outtakes and Adlibs are fun and should be kept – but if you do keep them, please add them to the end of the Audition.
- If there are no directions, I either find the context to be self explanatory, or I want you to improvise.
- Would be nice if you were to record in AAA-BBB-CCC format, so I can get a feel for how versatile you are! (But its not a necessity.)
- Due to the length of this project, I marked every role with a small disclaimer regarding its importance. Please be aware that every major and Important character will appear multiple times throughout the runtime of this Project, which will probably be 5-6 Parts in the span of around half a year-ish.
- I am more than happy to give feedback to everyone as I did with every other Project thus far, but to make things easier for everyone, please just specifiy in the Audition, that you want feedback :)!
- I don’t pay you for this Project, therefore I can’t enforce any deadlines. What I can do is ask you to please respect the time and effort of everyone involved, when you get picked!
- Lastly, have fun, enjoy Auditioning and if there are any questions let me know!
I am honestly beyond words at how big this gotten.
I was very busy the Last couple days, but I will see and finish the casting today!
Thank you all for your Effort and time! It really means alot!
Hey all! :)
I decided the extend the deadline up to the 5th of November because while I am very grateful for all the Interest for the Main Roles, the side gigs barely seen any action. But the sideroles are just as important as the mainroles, because only everything together will truly shine. So don't be a stranger, and hit me with those auditions! (And dont forget to add that you want feedback IF you want feedback.)
Thank you very much and I'm looking forward to your Auditions!
W.O.W. 200 Subs is SO much more than I ever thought holy amazeballs. Thank all of you so much! That concludes the Casting for this Project for now.
In the next two weeks I will do the casting, write all the Feedback and finish the script (which is absurdly long and I need to juggle moving prep at the same time here). Until that stuff is through, the Project will remain open, in case I find that one or more roles are not yet filled adequately. ^^
Thank you Guys once again! Can't wait to dig through all of that!
I am totally taken aback by this insane amount of interest gathered around my Project.
Thank all of you so very much!!
Know that I listen to absolutely every single Submission and WILL give Feedback to everyone who asked for it, after the Casting concluded.
Thank you all once again and I am excited to see how this Continues!! :)
The best friend of the Protagonist and second part of Team Highground. Quirky, Upbeat and hard to discourage. Riley is the Hero Type that does things, because they need to be done. Very strong sense of justice, that carries their entire Role.
I chose Riley as the Name because PMD1 does not specify Gender of the some of the Characters yet, so you are free to audition either way! Give me your best shot!
Maincast, so will appear most all the time, everytime.
[Confused] Huh? You were attacked? By other Pokémon?
[Slightly embarassed] I guess no one knows us because just started this team. Hahahah…
[Angry and demanding] Hey, Skarmory! Quit doing this, and release Diglett!
Just the Narrator. Will appear a couple of times but most notably in the very beginning where they ask all the Questions and in an important sidequest at the very end of the Game.
Should have a warm, welcoming Voice.
[Welcoming] Welcome to the World of Pokemon!
[Like telling a story] A foreign person has started up a conversation with you.
[Considerate] A brave Person like you should be…
Leader of team Meanies, quite the unpleasant guy to deal with. Self righteous, arrogant and always trying to Bully Team Highground to make up for his own feelings of insecurity and doubt. Tho he seems to be just an average A-Hole, there is a surprising depth to his villain arc.
Important Side role, so will appear quite a few times over the course of the Story.
[Happily spiteful] Keh! Who’d run a rescue team from a dump like this? Unbelievable.
[Like a merchant] Oh, don’t you worry about that my little friend!
Embarassed and angry] Don’t you laugh at me! What makes you so high-and-mighty?!
Sidekick of Gengars Team. Always having a kinda floaty, sing-sang voice. She aims for World Domination with the other two. Probably the nicest of the three, yet still quite the B*tch.
Important Side role, so will appear quite a few times over the course of the Story
[Patronizingly] Depressing, isn’t it?
[Happily] Oh, didn’t we tell you? We aim for World Domination~
[Pleasantly surprised] Oo-la-la! Isn’t that rather tasty~
Second sidekick of Gengars Team and the most useless of the three. Not much is known about him, except for the standard Sssssnake Lisp, and the pretty bad character. Should probably aim for a bit of a higher voice, as Ekans is not exactly an imposing creature yet, in comparison to his evolution.
Minor side role, so will appear just a few times over the course of the Story with under 20 lines total.
[Patronizingly] Theres nothhhing here.
[boastful] Caterpies mama will give us generous reward…
[Very proud] But all we ever get up to is no good!
Leader of Team ACT, the most famous Rescue Team around. Quite literally the Brain of the Team. Powerful, wise and reasonable. Keeps a cool head most of the time and tends to be very considerate of others, when seeing the bigger Picture. I imagine a rather deep, old-man-ish voice for him, but feel free to interpret him as you like!
Important Side role, so will appear quite a few times over the course of the Story
[Serious, sharp] Did you say Zapdos?
[Cold, disagreeable] Hey. Rather coldhearted, aren’t you?
Authoritative] Our Objective is to rescue Shiftry! Let us find success!
One of the Muscles of Team ACT. Definitely the most dense of the three, but a respectable Fighter. Not terribly much is known about him otherwise.
Important for the story, but minor side role, with under 30 lines total in the entire Project.
[Considerate] But Zapdos won’t be easy.
Threatening] It might gobble you up for a snack. Can you face that?
The other Muscle of Team ACT. The most talkative of the three and probably also the nicest, yet hot-headed and easily enraged. He tends to be able to read between the lines, especially with Alakazam.
Due to be being quite buff, I imagine a deeper Warrior-esque voice, but feel free to interpret otherwise!
Important Side role, so will appear quite a few times over the course of the Story.
- [Suspicious] Alakazam. I know you. What else is there?
[Battlethirsty] Forgive me. I just don’t understand the Concept of Mercy.
- [Cautionary] Have you ever been hit with an electric blast?
Client of Team Highground, resident of the Pokémon Square through the Course of the Story. Not much personality is shown besides caring for their friends and being upbeat and friendly most of the time.
Minor Side role, with just one bigger role in this first part and very few recurring lines.
[Pleading] Please help my friend. Please, I need help!
[Shy] Umm… Is rescue team Highground here?
[Nervous] It’s rumored that an amazing monster sleeps here.
Jumpfluffs Friend and the one to save on the rescue Mission in Jumpluff’s Name. Upbeat and friendly. Minor side character with under ten lines total.
[Frightened] Shiftry is in the back…
[Relieved] Yay! Saved! I’m so happy!
Greedy Rescue Team leader that is overpricing his services heavily. Quite egoistic, but has a change of heart in the course of the Story.
Important Side role, so will appear quite a few times over the course of the story.
[Dismissive] Forget it. We’re not about to work for that.
[begrudgingly] Tsk! Fine! We do it!
[Wounded] Forget about me. Run! Get away!
First client of Team Highground, mother of Caterpie. Very caring, very grateful. Important Side character, yet with a minor script under 20 lines total.
[Begging] Somebody! Please! Help me!
[Alarmed] A huge fissure opened in the Ground and my caterpie fell in!
[Grateful and relieved] I’m sorry. I don’t know how I could ever thank you properly…
Butterfree’s Son, energetic, yet timid. One of the biggest supporters of Team Highground. Wants to work in their Rescue Team when he’s grown up. Quite young, I assume the Voicetype should aim for a child under 10 years old, but feel free to add your own Interpretation!
[Scared] Mommy… Where are you…? Sniffle…
[Excited] I want to work here, when I grow up!
[Confused] …But I don’t have any money…
Writer of the first official rescue Job for Team Highground. Friend of the actual client. Speaks exclusively in Capslock. Needs a very robotic voice to accomodate that quirk.
Minor Side role with under 10 lines total.
[Explanatory] A STRANGE ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVE FLOWED THROUGH A DUNGEON…
[Triumphant] WE CAN RESCUE DIGLETT FROM THE SKY.
[Confused] …IT HAS THEM? FEET?
One of the Magnemites, Team Highground rescued from Thunder Wave Cave. Per se a minor side role with under 10 Lines, but will be the consistent third part of Team Highground so could potentially gain some additional flavour lines down the road. No directions given here.
I ALSO WANT TO JOIN THEIR RESCUE TEAM.
THANK YOU! YOU’RE OUR HERO!
MAGNEMITE! BZZ!
Resident of Pokemon Square. Very timid, easily frightened. Tends to be a bit of an Idiot, tho he seems to appear nice at first. Important Side role, with quite a few appearances throughout the Story. [I am not opposed to adding a mexican accent for the funny haha.]
[Casual] Huh? That scene there?
[Timid] Wah! What’s wrong?!
[Concerned] A lot of Pokémon have gone wild and violent because the disasters scared them…
Resident of Pokémon Square, kinda dumb, snobbish, higher opinion of self as than it justifies. Minor siderole with like 20 Lines throughout the Project and just one storybeat in postgame.
High-and-mighty] Pardon? Oh, the Pelipper Post office?
[Casual] Its out at the Cape. You can’t miss it.
Resident of Pokémon Square. Just a Villager wanting to live in peace, frightened by the disasters everywhere.
Minor siderole with like 20 lines tops.
[Nervously] There was a forest fire not long ago. It was terrible.
[Shuddering] Eugh. It makes me tremble just thinking about it.
[Concerned] But it could have been much worse if they were slower getting there.
Dad(s) of Diglett, Client for Team Highground. Kind of the stressed business dad archetype. Speaks fast and to the Point. Always wants to depict the perfect, allmighty Dad, infront of his son.
Important side Character, yet only has a big appearance in this part and merely a few lines in the next ones. I imagine him to have a rather tensed up, fast speaking, kinda businessman tone, but as always, open for Interpretation!
[Realization] …Oh! You can’t see us, of course!
[Casual and friendly] We’re pleased to meet you. We are Dugtrio.
[Angrily] Its a vilely vicious ruffian. Please do be careful.
Victim of Skarmorys abduction, son of Dugtrio. Nice and Polite, apparently has feet, can’t deal with heights very well.
Minor side role, tho with Story significance. Under 20 lines tops. Child, should sound like one.
[Frightened] I can’t… I’m too scared to move…
[Still somewhat confused] My feet feel like they’re still walking on air…
[Thoughtfully looking into the distance] Papa said he was on the Ocean before… that means he can swim! Flynn, can you swim?
Aggrevated, sleep deprived and very angry at Digletts Family. Has only one appearance in the entire Game. Female, slightly deeper voice.
[Very angry] You! What you think you’re doing?!
[Frustrated] Quiet! Keep this up and we fight!
[Outraged] How dare you?! Its all their fault!
Merchants at Pokémon Square. Love Money, hustle through the salesman life. Hate thieves.
Minor side character in the story, but have a „bigger“ role deep into endgame!
[Friendly casual tone] Reviver Seed? That will be 800 Poke. Is that to your liking?
Hello~ Welcome to the Kecleon Shop~
Do you wish to buy anything else today?
Owner of Khangaskan-Storage, treats every customer like her own child. Very friendly and kind.
Minor, yet recurring side role due to being a core service provider inside the Game.
[Caring] Hello, there! Welcome to Kangaskhan Storage
[Friendly] OK, stored away! You can count on me, honey.
Thank you, sweetie. Come again!
Owner of Gulpin Link. No specific personality to speak of. Just a Gulpin doing Gulpin things.
Kinda unimportant side role due to being a core service provider inside the Game.
[Casual] Hello! Welcome to the Gulpin Link Shop!
[Casual] Shall we go on?
[Friendly] Whenever you get the urge to link moves, come see me!
Wise Whiscash of the Lake, something like the village Elder. Is able to give hints, when the Player doesn’t know where to go next. Important side character with several appearances throughout the Game.
[Relieved] It’s good to see the youngsters back.
[Conspiratorial] I have heard of a particularly challenging dungeon somewhere in our World…
[Encouraging] Perhaps your team will take on the that challenge one day? Hohohoh!
Owner of the Wigglytuff club and technically the wealthiest landlord on the entire continent. Friendly and good willed, but still a businessman through and through.
To contrast his appearance I think a deep, manly voice would be very funny. You are, however, as always, open to interpret!
Minor, yet reocurring side role due to being a core service provider inside the game.
[Like a Pitchman] Friends are my treasures! Welcome to Wigglytuff Club—a circle of friends!
[Like you just won something] Congratulations! You can go to the wild plains now
[Explaining like an american ad] How do you recruit new Members? Well, if you’re fighting Pokémon that live in a Friend Area.…
Best friend of Caterpie, easily frightened. Probably also a child, not much older than Caterpie, so assume something in the 10-year ish range.
[Timid] I was afraid, so I kept my shell hardened and waited, and waited…
[Relieved] Thank you!
[Shily] Did you maybe come looking for me?
Personification of Thunder, very easily enraged. Due to being a god of sorts, their Voice should portray dominance and Authority. Since we talk about an eternal being, I am open for male and female voices. Important side role with three major appearances in the Story.
Authoritative and aggressive] I have no mercy for meddlers! And that includes you!
[With all the self esteem of a god] I am Zapdos! The embodiment of lightning!
[Threatening] Next time I won’t be holding anything back. So be prepared!
