Introduction
Hey Everyone!
This is a casting call for a new Yu-Gi-Oh! mini series "Duel Arena".
Revelations - Duel Arena is a reboot of a concept we came up with as a side project to our web series Revelations of the Seal of Orichalcos. It is a series of short animatics with dueling as their main focus. For those who are unfamiliar with Yugioh, dueling is what it is referred to as when characters battle in a game using trading cards. Sometimes with life or death at stake. Devices called Duel Disks worn on the arm, bring the monsters to life in the form of holograms. The game involves monsters, spells and traps. In a nutshell, a player wins the duel by reducing the other players lifepoints to zero.
Set in the world of Revelations of the Seal of Orichalcos, Duel Arena follows three main characters: Sebastian, Zeke and Hikari, as they try to make their way through the world after the rise of Valtor's Empire. They will face various challenges and opponents as they make their way through this dangerous new world.
We're looking for several varying voice roles. Most of the characters appear in a single episode, however the main characters will be appearing in several throughout the series.
These are unpaid roles, but we can send you a copy of the finished scenes and any clips for use in a demo reel. We'll also be putting together a discord to help keep in contact during the process of production once we select voice actors.
About Duel Arena
There are 12 episodes in total. Each episode typically opens with a narrator giving some opening backstory, followed by a duel, which is the center point of each episode. The episodes will be created in the form of animatics, so they'll have a limited amount of animation. The voices are what will bring the characters to life. The purpose of this mini series is to give our fanbase something to watch while I put together the main episodes of Revelations of the Seal of Orichalcos. I have another team who will put the bulk of the assets together for Duel Arena. The scripts for the first season have been completed. There is a possibility of a second season depending on how well things turn out with the project.
With the exception of the lead characters (Hikari, Zeke and Sebastian) as well as the Narrator, most of the other roles will only appear in one episode. Most of these are "dueling roles" which means the character will actively be participating in a duel. You don't need to be familiar with Yugioh to perform these roles, all of the duel terminology has been placed into the scripts. Here's an example of the inflection that typically goes into a duel scene, for those who are unfamiliar:

The voices are typically animated and exaggerated, I find that this type of tone helps sell the intensity of the scene, since essentially, duels are battle scenes that sometimes have life or death at stake.
