Rising Of The Shield Hero Abridged

Rising Of The Shield Hero Abridged

Project Overview

Hello everyone, I'm Lord Daedryth! I make abridged parodies and anime related content on YouTube. I normally don't do casting calls, but wanted to get a completely fresh cast and crew together for this project. Let's all have fun and make a great parody!

Requirements:
1) Must be okay with being live directed. I may not do this initially, but if the lines aren't coming back as needed I'll definitely need to hop on call.

2) Have an XLR mic and pop filter to record with!!! Or worst case scenario: a USB mic over $100. Audio quality is really important of course.

3) Long term commitment! I may turn this in to a series. Not sure yet, but let's assume that's the plan for now. I may need your voice talent over the coming (months/years). Abridged series tend to be long term projects so I'll try my best to create a fun and friendly atmosphere for everyone.

4) Be able to meet deadlines. I typically prefer a 2-3 week turnaround, but am usually understanding about delays as long as you stay in contact and update me every few days.

5) If you're cast you'll need to join my discord server to coordinate further: https://discordapp.com/invite/vJ5PRGU

*Previous voice over experience is a plus, but not specifically required.

Latest Updates

  • Begun Casting/Added Roles

    Hey everyone! I've had a quick response and was able to cast a few CCC members that really nailed the part already. I didn't want to double cast anyone so I'm still in need of auditions for Mirellia, Malty, Erhard and especially Beloukas! I'm still considering options on Naofumi and hope to hear more auditions for him. He's the leading role, so we really need someone with a excellent range who can yell. I've added a number of minor characters as well: Priest 1+2 as well as Royal Guard 1-4. Although they are cast as minor characters, they still have a good number of lines and require a lot of yelling. Thanks for all your hard work!

Naofumi

Role assigned to: William Songbird

Naofumi is the shield hero.  He kind of switches between happy go lucky and full on prick.

  • Legend tells of the four cardinal heroes summoned from another world to save the realm from catastrophic waves of destruction. After the first wave devastated the kingdom of Melromarc, the king sought the aid of these Legendary Heroes. Their weapons of choice: a sword, a spear, a bow, and a shield.

  • Ya know, some people dream of being a hero... but let tell ya... reality hits you like a cold stone floor coming toward you at the speed of gravity. (falling from the sky toward a cold stone floor) AHHHHHHHHH!!! OOF! (impact)

  • Time to greet the new day with a smile and sheer determi...nation… Wait a second... Where’s my stuff? Myne! Where’s my stuff?! Did you steal my stuff?! You totally stole my stuff didn’t you?!

  • REN! How many times are you going to make me say it?! Stop making noises! Come here you little miscreant.

  • I enjoyed your little tale, but I feel it needed more men.

Role assigned to: SuperSonicBlur

I love this character. He's your typical privelaged lordly king, but some of the interactions he has are just LOL. He likes to mess with people. A few of his lines sound like an oblivion guard.

  • Well heck if I know what country we summoned you from. Disappointments aside, greetings heroes! I am King Aultcray Melromarc the XXXII, Ruler of Melromarc and slayer of virginity, but don’t tell my wife that.

  • Squire! Clean my royal face and feed me peanuts while I raise the taxes and persecute the non believers.

  • Stop right there criminal scum! Nobody breaks the law on my watch! I’m confiscating your stolen memes. Now pay the court a fine or PAY WITH YOUR BLOOD.

Mirellia is a sassy offscreen queen.

  • Well guess what? I know too you fat schmuck! And so does MY boyfriend! We had a grand ole time at the court ball the other day and there's NOTHING you can do about it!

  • Would it kill you to get off your fat rear and take me out once in a blue moon? I only see the sky every fourth year and I DO NOT find this acceptable, nor allowable.

Malty

Role assigned to: LandonizAwsum

Malty is an especially feisty and conniving girl. She's extremely annoying and should be played like Elizabeth from The Seven Deadly Schmucks.

  • Hah! You’ve got spunk and I want you in my bunk. Your highness! I volunteer to join the shield hero!

  • Filthy peasant, behold the mighty shield hero! Stand in awe of his presence! Thank you!

Beloukas is a sly and dastardly slave trader.

  • Yes, please do excuse the manner of my wares. Slaves have been in poor quality as of late. This one has... problems we don't like to talk about.

Erhard

Role assigned to: FourOhFourVA

Erhard is Melromarc's token blacksmith... apparently. Probably best played like Agil from SWE's SAO Abridged.

  • Uh… yeah. Wassup up my girl that I haven’t seen in like 20 months? Take a look around and see if there’s somethin’ you can’t live without. Don’t worry. I gotchu covered. Hard steel, weapons, and… who dat?

  • So I've got: Elf Slaya, Dream Killa, Demon Crest, and Gut Twista... but my personal favorite is: Demon Crest. Anything suit yo fancy, just holla. I'll be on the floor doin' pushups.

Multicast as royal gaurd 1-4, A bunch of hard men turned into tortured souls really. King Melromarc is cruel to those who serve him.

Multicast as Priest 1+2. A silly priest and a serious priest both serving King Melromarc.

  • *clears throat* Yes, yes. Sorry about the mess. You see, we summoned you four heroes to save us from a relentless horde of demons. King Melromarc’s fifth cousin twice removed was eaten alive by a particularly nasty demon just the other day. The King won’t take this lying down. He’ll take it sitting up from a comfortable chair in the throne room while barking orders to lower peasants.

  • Aaaooowwwuuuhhh! *angelic chant of light praising the shield heros return*
