Project Saikou (Bakuman Fandub)
Project Overview
(THIS CASTING CALL IS FOR TWO ROLES THAT NEED MORE AUDITIONS. VOICE ACTORS WANTED FAST)
Greetings and salutations fellow voice actors! Don't scroll all the way to the roles just yet, it's important you read the description!
My name is 04deoxys, and I co-host with three others on a video platform found on YouTube called "The Scent", and I'm a big fan of the anime series Bakuman! For the longest time, I've always wanted to make a full-fledged fandub of the entire series, and I believe today is the day I finally start getting some voice actors.
In the past, I've worked on other voice acting projects. My biggest accomplishment that sadly ended was a Tokyo Ghoul fandub before Funimation released an official dub. We made good progress, and had an incredible time working with one another. I'm familiar with editing and script writing. since I've done work on my own YouTube channel and other channels as well.
Q&A:
"How do you know Bakuman will not be getting an official English dub soon?"
Bakuman was released way back in 2010. We are currently in the year 2019. and the only discussion found in regards to a dub was found on Reddit back in 2014. Unfortunately, the anime has been forgotten by most people and will likely stay that way due to the popularity of other currently airing shows.
"Aren't you concerned about copyright infringements by the creators?"
As far as everyone knows, media blasters lost the licensing to the show once the company shutdown. I believe Viz Media bought the rights to post the manga on their website, but that's about it. It's currently unknown if Viz bought the rights to the only dubbed 7 episodes of the series. If copyright infringements do become a concern, we'll worry about that once we get there.
"Isn't Bakuman like, three seasons long?"
Yep.
And we're dubbing them all.
"What are the requirements to participate?"
I'm hoping for this project to have some quality to it. In order to participate, you must have the following:
1.) A good microphone
As long as you're confident your microphone will have no background noise, you should be fine. It takes time out of the editing process to enhance a voice actors audio, so please be sure we don't have to do too much work on your takes. No auditions will be accepted with audible background noise, hissing, or echoes.
2.) Hard work and dedication
I'm going to be working as hard as I can on this project on-top of my other daily activities. I'm not going to rag on people about deadlines or anything like that, I'm very easy to work with. However, you do need to have some work ethic in you and you need to put time into the project depending on your role. Please understand, this is more than just a knock off fandub, this is serious work.
3.) DISCORD.
If you get approved for you're role, great! We'll send you a link to a Discord where you can contact us directly if you have any questions. Server may be setup by the time everything is finished.
If you have these three requirements, you should have no problem applying for voice acting.
With all that said, I invite you guys to audition and try your absolute hardest! Once you've been approved, I'll be sure to message you the necessary details in order to get started. If any of you have any other questions you'd like to ask, don't be scared to message me. I hope to work with you in the future, here's to the Bakuman Fandub, code-named "Project Saikou"!

(This character will be significantly more relevant to the plot in Season 2)
Miura has a very easygoing personality, but is very adamant about gag manga. This is shown as he is always pushing for more comedy in Ashirogi's manga. He tries to do the best for his manga creators, though he is still young, and is one of the most inexperienced of the Jump editors. He is lively and loud, and always eager to work and help out the main cast.
Hi, I'm Miura. I just started working in the editorial office at Jump last year. Nice to meet you!
I can't believe you're Taro's nephew, that's so cool! Now I'm even more sure you're really going places!
angry Either you make an effort to change your art style, or Takagi has somebody else do the artwork for him!
(This character plays a larger role in season 2, but a voice is needed for an episode in season 1). Iwase is an academic achiever in school. She's difficult to get along with anyone due to her strict and high-standard nature; she leads a rather lonely life. However, it doesn't bother her as she's always focused in studies. In her world, she only respects people that rivals her ranking in school. However, she would focus the latter of her life in attempts to out match Akito Takagi
Please stop writing manga. I know you're going to regret this for the rest of your life, Takagi.
I'm going to start writing manga to! I don't want to lose to you...I want to stand shoulder to shoulder!
