Re:Zero - Thug Alleyway Scene [Fandub]

Project Overview

Hey everyone! 

 
So I decided on Fandubbing a scene from the show "Re:Zero - Kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu", seeing as it's very popular and has yet to have an official dub release. Accompanied by the fact I enjoyed the show quite a bit, I figured I'd give a shot at it. Now I know it's all too common to have project managers self-cast themselves as the lead roles, so I would like to formally apologize on that front, for doing so... Regardless, if you could find it in your heart to forgive me, and audition anyways, it would be very much appreciated. Anyways I'll give you a run down for the rules below, and my progress, and what to expect if you are cast.

- Progress -
I have most of the sound effects, ambient noises, and music mixed in accordingly with the episode scene, at this stage in editing. Not completely finished with it, but I've made considerable headway and just have to wrap up on most of the finishing touches in that department. Also, the script has been completed and adapted into an English script which fits those ever so tedious mouth flaps. Before I held auditions I wanted to get the episode all ready to insert the vocal tracks and be able to upload shortly after. My own lines for Subaru have been recorded about halfway through the scene, but those should not take too long to finish. So that is what we have so far in the state of progress. 

- The Scene Itself -
So a brief rundown of the scene being used. Natsuki Subaru is venting to himself, in an alleyway, about his current predicament, when three street bandits attack him. There is a run-in briefly with the character Felt, and he is in the end rescued by Emilia. The scene ranges from about the 4 minute twenty second mark to the 10 minute line in episode one, so it's roughly 5.5 minutes long. I give more specific instructions in the script of the time stamps in the episode to follow, with an included scene link download, to make things easier on the cast chosen. But if you'd like to familiarize yourself with the scene prior to auditioning, that is more than welcome!

- Requirements -
Now I'm not going to exclude anyone because their microphone isn't above the $100 price tag, or if you don't have an XLR setup. However, you absolutely MUST have a good environment to record in. More important than the specs of your microphone, are the conditions of your recording environment. This does not just mean turning off your fan when recording or minimizing background noise, but also completely cutting out any reverberation and having clean audio quality, free of any hindrances. If you sound like you are recording in a cathedral, you won't be considered. Also, if you audition with a laptop built in mic, you're out of the running. That being said, people with better microphone quality than others will be considered in higher regard. I apologize if that isn't something you'd like to hear, but having consistently nice sounding audio quality is of utmost importance, and keeps a project sounding more professional. If cast, there will be more specifications on the formatting of your audio, and what I expect when being delivered lines, but as for now, whatever you can upload to the website, should suffice. 

- Auditions -
So here's the fun part: Actually auditioning!! Now I have posted in each character's descriptions what I prefer voice wise. Still though, if you want to wow me for whichever character, don't let my preferences slow you down. Please audition for as many characters as you can. You never know, whether you may think you can do a character or not, I may like what you have chosen to display, and completely surprise you with my casting. More auditions from each individual also show me the more your voice and acting range has to offer, which may liken your chances at a character. And don't get over stressed or anything while attempting to perform, this is just a fan-dub, and we do this because we love doing it. So have fun! And act your heart out!!

- Final Product -
Due to Youtube's fabulous copyright restrictions and rules, odds are I won't be able to get away with putting an entire 5 1/2 minute Fan-dub up there. So instead, I will upload a small preview clip on Youtube linked to the full dub on either Vimeo or Google Drive.

Lastly, I will not be casting until the due date, and may hold extensions, depending on whether I get the desired amount of auditions I'm hoping for. If cast, comment your email on your audition for the character chosen, and that is how I will choose to communicate with all of you. Thank you so much for reading and taking your time to apply for the project! Best of luck to you all.

Latest Updates

  • Final Results.

    Alright! So this casting process, was incredibly challenging. And I mean that, it was so difficult to narrow down these auditions to my top picks, and then once It was between two or three people, it was virtually impossible. I ended up choosing the people with nicer equipment/a nicer environment, or if I thought their acting method fit their character more. Again I cannot stress to you how well you all did. And If you'd like, I can make a list of the understudies, I have chosen. It was incredibly difficult, but thank you all for giving your best efforts, and I will be in contact with those of you cast soon.
  • Deadline pushed a few more days.

    Decided to push back the auditions until the 30th, as I figured the more auditions we can get the better! I have not listened to all of the auditions for every character, but I am sure you guys won't disappoint. Thanks for sticking in there and being patient with me. Good luck to all!

Role assigned to: dsync

Warning!! Most of this character's lines are derogatory. He also yells these high pitched screams and is quite rowdy. So be prepared to swear and yell loudly. Watch the scene for this character just to see how he was performed in the Japanese. You don't need to copy, just get a feel for how his character was portrayed. Link in the description above to episode.




Voice Range: Medium-Medium Low

This character I am not too concerned about how particular his voice should be. Something menacing, maybe a bit raspy and be able to sound down right evil. He's a thug leader, so try and be angry yet kind of crazy with him. 

  • (Walking towards Subaru, threatening) If you don't wanna get hurt, cough up whatever you got!

  • (Angry/ballistic, Kicking Subaru on the ground) You f**khead, what'd j'ya think this'd be PAINLESS??!!

  • (Sound excited and insane, ready to kill) High pitched yell, Laugh menacingly, make whatever evil gross noises you think he'd make

Role assigned to: kirinosoniichan

He's a rather large guy, so I want him to have a deep and booming sort of voice.. He's not over the top, although he has some louder sort of yelling lines. 



Voice Range: Low

  • Aggressive grunt as he's hitting Subaru (loud), hurt/surprised sound as he's punched back

  • (Matter of fact, could be threatening) I'd venture to say it actually made things worse.

  • (Accusatory, defensive) If someone stole your stuff it was that little brat who just ran by!!

Kan is the smallest of the three thugs. He is higher pitched/squeaky, and seems like he has short man's complex. He's always angry and aggressive in his tone, but he's also small... So think of a barking chihuahua. 



Voice Range: High-Medium High
I'd prefer him to be played by a guy, but I am not opposed to girl auditions too, so give it your best. 

  • (Sassy/angry, inconvenienced by Subaru's stupidity) What the hell are you talkin' about?

  • (Yelling angry) Think you can challenge us you dumbass!?

  • (Caught off guard, hit, pained because he took a big kick to the face) AAUUGHH!!

For Felt I'm going to be a bit more specific. I want something similar to the Japanese. She's very energetic and on the louder side for characters. She doesn't have very many lines in this scene, but if I pursue more fandubs of this series in the future, I will probably call upon you to be her again. 



Voice range: High-Medium high

  • (Yelling to people far away, in a hurry) HEY! YOU GUYS UP AHEAD!! You gotta get out of my way!

  • (Confused by Subaru, quick to dismiss him) Summoned? I dunno what you're talking about, but I gotta run. Good luck with whatever's goin' on here!

Emilia is proper and formal, she is good-natured and is relatively kind to most people. I'd prefer something similar to her Japanese voice for this role. 



Voice Range: Medium

  • (Formal) Stop now and I'll  let this slide. So just graciously return what you stole from me.  

  • (Speaking to herself, thinking out loud) Oh... they don't seem to be lying... I need to catch her!

  • (Accusing Subaru) See? You averted your eyes because you have a guilty conscience! Looks like I was right.

Little cat guy. He's a phenomenal character, and I cannot wait to hear everyone's auditions. In the Japanese he is played by a girl but I'm hoping for both guys and girls to audition for him. You can sound like the Japanese or try something completely different. Up to you! Have fun!



Voice Range:
Medium High-Medium

  • (Questioning Emilia) Are you sure? I think it was just an instinctive male reaction... I didn't sense any malice at all.

  • (Subaru falls over) Aw, you shouldn't have tried to get up. What should we do?

  • (Teasing Emilia) You say that, but I bet you'll still help him.
