This is a fandub project that I am undertaking as a fan of this series. Further details about my personal goals are discussed in the "About Me" section below. As a fandub, this production is not a paid production, or intended to be used as reference for a professional product; instead, it aims towards personal development (and having fun!).
This fandub will be dubbing Project X Zone 2's Prologue 3: "Dancers in Shadow", a game which I have dubbed twice in the past. The video will be uploaded to my youtube channel, but I am not currently planning on producing a full dub of the game (although I will definitely be returning to PXZ2 in the future!)
Please also note that much of the dialogue in this scene is a lot of short, back and forth-type conversations, leaving out a lot of context, and I have therefore changed certain lines based on what I feel is a natural extension of the dialogue. Hopefully, this will give you more of a chance to display your acting talent.
What is Project X Zone?
If you have never heard of Project X Zone, it is a 3ds strategy RPG that's main selling point is being a massive inter-company crossover between Capcom, Sega, Bandai Namco and Nintendo. Featuring characters from fan-favourite franchises, including Street Fighter, Megaman X, Tales of, Yakuza, Fire Emblem, and more, there's no stopping the crossing of zones! There are tons of fun conversations, situations, and hijinks that occur in this game, so I want to bring some of them to life.
Project X Zone is unique in that it treats previous games in the series (Project X Zone 1 and Namco X Capcom) as events that are canon, and thus characters who partook in said games remember the events and characters within them, bringing them up as references in this game.
Rules and Guidelines:1) Please be civil: It needn't be said, but as always, please treat everyone involved in this project with due respect and kindness. We're all here to develop our skills and to have fun, so please don't ruin the experience!
2) Please have decent audio quality: It is not necessary to have studio quality audio and mixing, simply ensure your audio is clear and audible, and ensure there is no real background noise in your takes.
3) When auditioning: Please only upload the ONE audio clip you intend to use for the audition, and include ALL voice lines from the audition within it. If you wish to change your audition, please take your audio clip down, and upload the new one.
4) I would encourage you to try 2-3 takes per audition line in your audition clip. Use these different takes to emphasise different emotions or try different emphasis based on the direction the line gives you.
5) Slating (introducing yourself and the character you're auditioning for) is not necessary. In addition, do NOT use a previously made voice reel as your audition.
6) There is no limit to the characters you can audition for. Feel free to try every one that suits you! Please also try to take the time to try to read the description of every character. As part of my attempt to inform you as actors about the scene, I may bring up people or situations for direction purposes that may not be fully understood if read out of order. If you feel confused, try and look at another character's bio to see if it's explained there!
7) There are NO formal requirements for previous credentials as a voice actor. I'm hoping to work well with any voice actor, regardless of your experience!
8) Have Fun! Above all else, I hope to make this experience as rewarding for my actors as it is for me!
Synopsis of Scene:Shibuya has been closed off to the public, having been deemed a danger zone due to its tendency to be in the centre of space-time crossing events, where past, present, future, and alternate dimensions collide.
This also makes it the prime location for those who wish meet undisturbed; exactly why Hotsuma, Kage Maru, and Akira choose to meet here, to learn more about J6's combat android "Dural".
But Hotsuma and Kage Maru soon discovers that the reasons as to why Shibuya is closed off is more than just rumors...
Communication:If you are selected as to voice for a certain character, I will either DM you, or contact you via your preferred method of communication (please comment on your audition about details if you wish for this to happen).
I plan on using Discord server to conduct voice recording and direction sessions; these sessions will be happening live, and are expected to take at least 1-2 hours to conduct fully. Please be aware: I live in a UTC +8:00 timezone, so it is very likely that we will need to organise a time where conducting sessions are suitable.
If you have any queries or questions about this production, feel free to DM me or leave a comment on this post.
