Puella Magi Oriko Magica voiceover

Puella Magi Oriko Magica voiceover

Project Overview

IMPORTANT NOTE!

If you are interested in drawing art for the series, please let me know ASAP!


AUDITION INFO – PLEASE READ


Greetings! As part of my experimental process in the voice acting world, I have decided to host a special project. The aim of this project is to create a voiceover of the Puella Magi Oriko Magica manga, which is a spinoff of the anime, Puella Magi Madoka Magica. For now, I will only be working on the first manga that was released in 2011. Later, perhaps, I may consider hosting a voiceover for the other manga.


I’m going to assume that most people have already seen or heard of the anime, but for those of you who haven’t read the manga, it follows a new girl, Oriko, who gains the power of foresight from her wish. However, this causes her to see a future where Madoka’s witch destroys the world and thus, Oriko becomes set on finding and killing Madoka. The series introduces a handful of new characters as well as features the familiar cast from the anime.


GUIDELINES

I’ll try my best to treat everyone who becomes involved in this process fairly, and to help that mutual respect evolve, I ask that you please read and follow these (simple) rules before submitting your audition.


1a. You may audition for more than one character. In fact, I encourage you to because it increases the amount of auditions coming in and also increases your chances of making it into the project. In particular, I recommend trying out for the supporting/minor roles if you are auditioning for one or more large roles.

1b. A voice actor may land more than one role in the project; however, to keep things fair, I will not cast out two main roles, major supporting roles, or supporting roles to the same person. This also applies to casting the same person as a main role and a major supporting role, etc. Your secondary role is restricted to minor or background only.


2a. Please, no more than two takes per line. Listening to more can become tedious. You may use the second take to say the line a different way or use a different voice.

2b. Please only include the final version of the lines in your audition. You don’t need an introduction or any disclaimers; in this case, they can be distracting.


3. Do not audition for this project if you are not going to be active since that will ruin it for everyone. Make sure you have the time before you try out.


4. Decent mic quality is preferred. A bit of background fuzz or static is okay if it’s hardly noticeable (since a lot of the scenes will be accompanied by music). What you should try to avoid is popping, crackling, and any background distractions. Also, try to find a good distance to stand from your mic so you’re not too loud or too quiet.


5. You may resubmit your audition once. I will try to give as much constructive criticism as I can to voice actors who I feel have potential but could take it a little bit further. If you are one of those people, feel free to resubmit your audition.


6. Please try to look up pronunciation guides before you audition for characters. I will provide basic pronunciation guides, but it’s up to you to know how to say the names correctly. I’m not picky about flipping your Rs; if you can’t, that’s fine.


7. For the sake of gathering as many auditions as possible, I will not be casting roles until the deadline at the very earliest and a week after the deadline at the latest. Thank you for your patience.



Alright, I think you’ve all done enough reading for now. So let’s just get into the auditions, shall we? The characters below are listed in order of appearance in the manga. Please note that I am not going to judge too harshly on whether or not you can perfectly match the character’s voice from the anime (sub/dub) for the characters who do have anime counterparts; however, those voices have been deemed to fit the characters, so it may slightly improve your chances. But what’s most important, as always, is to show your range of emotions and understanding of the character. You may even find another voice that suits the character equally as well!


Good luck and happy auditioning!

Latest Updates

  • Deadline Adjustment

    For obvious reasons, I have decided to push back the deadline. I have bumped it all the way until January 1 in the hopes of gathering more auditions during that time (and also to allow me time to focus on the fall semester). Thank you for understanding and also thank you to everyone who has auditioned already!

A teacher at Mitakihara Middle School and Madoka (and co.'s) homeroom teacher. Saotome is a bit of an eccentric but genuinely cares about her students. Her voice is really up to interpretation. I'm not going to be too picky about this.

  • Everyone, calm down. The teachers are going to the broadcast room to see what's going on, so stay there.

At first glance, she is an ordinary schoolgirl if a little meek and way too nice for her own good. She possesses a large amount of karmic potential, making her a prime target for Kyubey to contract with. Her future is the one Oriko is trying to prevent. Her voice is high and light, but not squeaky or shrill.

  • We're done, we're done. I'm hungry. Should we go somewhere?

  • Someone! Someone, help me! I'm so scared!

  • Even if I go, I might not be able to help, but I can't just abandon her!

For these lines, I ask that you use a different voice per line to show your range. Depending on the amount of auditions I get here, I may cast one person as all the students. Alternatively, if no one auditions, I might get some of the other voice actors to voice the students. But if you want to increase your chances of having a role, however small, I encourage you to try this out. Have fun with it!

  • I feel so dull today. Can't school end already?

  • She actually dared to come to school. What an impertinent girl.

Contribution: Major supporting role

Age: ~15


Mami attends the same school as Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka, but is a grade above them. She is a more mature girl who gives off an air of self-assuredness despite her secret misgivings. She views her life as a magical girl as being one dedicated to justice and saving lives, contrary to many of her peers. She has a medium, warm voice. Almost motherly but a bit more impersonal.


Also, I want to hear your best take of her battle cry because it’s not Mami without “Tiro Finale!” I’m not including it down below, but I will only consider auditions that have it, so please remember to record a take!

  • (sarcastic) Oh my, is that so? Then I’ll have to tell all of my friends about it. It’ll make for a great tale at our tea party.

  • I don’t know whether or not this will work against her, but… No! I’ll make this work!

  • You saw that, right? That Soul Gem produced a witch. If we’ll turn into witches, then it’s better to die here…

Contribution: Minor role

Age: ~14


Madoka’s best friend. She’s a good-natured goof and a bit of a tomboy. She is fiercely protective of Madoka. The anime portrays her as the everygirl, naïve and lighthearted. She has a medium to high voice.

  • (casually) Oh, we narrowly escaped the jaws of death. It’s a good thing there’s no monsters here.

  • Die, you! Die! Hitomi, run!

  • I don’t know why Homura is fighting against those things, but there’s no way you can help, Madoka.

Contribution: Minor role

Age: ~14


Madoka and Sayaka’s classmate and good friend. She constantly remains blissfully ignorant of the magical world. She has a privileged upbringing and does not share the same close relationship that Sayaka and Madoka have with either. Her voice should be more on the "prim and proper" end of things.

  • She’s an eccentric one…

  • I can’t take it anymore… I’d rather die than remember this…

Pronunciation: HO-moo-rah A-keh-me

Contribution: Main role

Age: ~14


Homura only cares about Madoka and to that end, she is willing to do anything she can to keep her safe and non-magical. She’s a stoic girl who acts cold to everyone around her to conceal her greatest kept secret; however, her demeanour can still shatter at times. In the anime, she has a low to medium, soft voice. I hesitate to put the word “monotone” here but think of flat affect. This won’t apply the whole time, however.


*Note: I’ve added the person she’s addressing for each line because I feel like that can have a big effect on how she speaks.

  • (to Mami) I don’t know, and I don’t care. Besides, what would I get from doing such things?

  • (to Oriko and Kirika) Remove this barrier. You two are behind this, right?

  • (to Madoka) We’ll definitely go home. That’s why I’m here.

Oriko is somewhat aloof from others and always believes she is doing the right thing. She lives with the memory of her father, a politician who was disgraced after committing suicide. As a result of his death, she became an outcast at school; however, she still retains her class. Her focus is on how to preserve the world, even if it means sacrificing others.


*Note: Since Oriko does not have an anime counterpart, her voice is up for interpretation. But I imagine it to be medium- to high-pitched and slightly airy.

  • No matter what it takes, I’ll see about bringing an end to this…

  • (to Kirika) I respect my father, but if you get interested, then I might get jealous of him.

  • Get back! Why do all of you always get in my way!?

Contribution: Major supporting role

Age: ~6-8


A child Kyouko rescues after her abusive parents are slaughtered by a witch. She comes to idolize Kyouko, calling her “big sister” and even going on to become a magical girl for her sake. Her innocence and raw willpower impress even Kyouko and eventually, Kyouko warms up to having her around. Conversely, Yuma can also show a more mature side due to her rough upbringing.


*Note: Since Yuma does not have an anime counterpart, her voice is up for interpretation. Just keep it childlike.

  • I want to become a magical girl and fight witches, too!

  • I… didn't actually love Papa and Mama. Papa and Mama argued all the time. Papa was almost never home. And Mama was mean to me.

  • I'll be useful to you! I'll listen to whatever you say! I won't even complain!

Oriko's father and a renown politician before his fall from grace. He did seem to care about Oriko despite the disillusionment his death temporarily brought her.

  • Of course. And it's for your happiness, too, Oriko.

Kyouko is a seasoned magical girl who became hardened after she witnessed the brutal deaths of her family members after which she vowed to never use her powers for the sake of others. However, she has a softer side, too, which she lets through somewhat reluctantly. She tends to be on the more snide/sarcastic side. In the anime, she’s portrayed as having a higher but firm voice. Think attitude!

  • Seriously, what a hopeless runt.  Listen up and listen good.  I'm not your sister.  I'm Kyouko Sakura.

  • Don't you "but" me! I told you! "Don't become a magical girl!"

  • Stop crying… I'm not angry anymore.  Just eat everything, okay?  Take it easy there…

Kirika becomes Oriko’s closest companion after Oriko reaches out to her while she’s a loner at school. She becomes fiercely dedicated to Oriko, almost to obsessive levels.


*Note: Since Kirika does not have an anime counterpart, her voice is up for interpretation. I don’t really have a firm idea of how she sounds like, but think of her being a bit on the crazy side. Eerily calm at weird times and absolutely ballistic at others. Play with that.

  • (on the phone) Yo, Oriko. Tonight? Okay. It's okay. I'd never turn down one of your requests.

  • You always treat me like a kid. You're only one hundred twenty-one days and three hours older than me! 

  • This broadcast has been taken over by me and Oriko to try and take over the world.

Contribution: Major supporting role


Kyubey is an enigmatic but adorable creature who recruits magical girls by creating a contract with them but hides ulterior motives for doing so. Its voice should be very cutesy (in a manufactured way, if that makes sense), even in dire circumstances. Think of a child but without childlike speech patterns. Kyubey is technically genderless but has a more female-sounding voice than male.

  • Did your wish come true?

  • What's the matter, Oriko?  You seem pale; are you not feeling well?

  • Ah, unfathomable, utterly unfathomable… Human emotions are unfathomable.
