RWBY Thoughts Casting Round 4
Project Overview
Hello Casting Call Club, I'm Eric of Crumbling Cube Entertainment.
A year ago, we started a series of RWBY fan videos called "RWBY Thoughts." The premise of which is to take everyone's favourite scenes and characters and let everyone know what they're thinking via narration. These thoughts can be in character or out and can range from comedic to more serious in nature. The original video featuring Oscar and Ozpin has been very well received and as of this writing is sitting at 145K views.
Directionally, we aren't aiming for 100% impressions here. The most important thing is to be close enough to the original voices, while remaining in character. We like collaborating with acting talent and you’ll have free reign to voice the lines how you see fit, unless otherwise specified in the script. We will only overrule a reading if necessary. Heck you can even ad-lib some lines, as long as you deliver a take with what’s written.
Although we can not compensate you financially, this is a wonderful opportunity to add a piece to your portfolio that has a sizeable audience. Something which can be used as leverage to secure yourself paying gigs in the future.
The commitment required would roughly be once every two months, but this may change or fluctuate depending on the content line-up. Further, you may be called upon to perform other roles, but we'll address this if and when we come to it.
In terms of editing, raw takes are ok as we’re used to editing those out when we do the voice-overs and editing ourselves. You are of course free to edit them down if you see fit. For technical specifications, WAV or AAC preferred, MP3 acceptable. Sample rate should ideally be 44100hz. Audio should be mostly free of background noise and have a minimum bitrate of 64 kbps with 192kbps or more being preferred. And, yes, you are free to audition for more than one role, or to try again if you previously were not accepted for a part.
When you are logged in, you can comment, add submissions, create projects, upvote, search open roles, and way more. Login here.

Yang's also up for audition now!
Context: verbatim from RWBY Volume 3, "It's Brawl in the Family"
"Despite what the world thinks, we're not just teachers or generals or headmasters. The people in this room, the leaders of the other two academies, we're the ones that keep the world safe from the evils no one even knows about. It's why we meet behind closed doors, why we work in the shadows. So you tell me James, when you brought your army to Vale, did you think you were being discreet, or did you just not give a damn? "Context: When Winter nags Qrow for allowing the kids to get into danger.
"That's all? Sheesh, and here I was thinking we were going to get a little rematch, Ice Queen."Context: when Ironwood hugs Qrow.
"What? Who are you and what the hell have you done to Ironwood?"
A truly lonely position, the General has a tough job ahead of him as humanity's last and best hope.
Context: RWBY V7CH2 When Team QORWBYNJR finally meets Ironwood and they talk about the measures he's imposing
"It is better to be feared than loved, if you cannot be both."Context: based on the infamous Gaius Julius Caesar quote when he crosses the Rubicon and changes Roman history. Translated as "the die is cast."
"Alea iacta est"
Context: RWBY V7 CH4 when Jacques lands and starts angrily yelling at everyone and everything.
"Oh come, now Jacques. I've seized political support, rendered your company impotent, and BOTH your daughters can effectively call me "daddy." So sorry if it's hard to take anything you say seriously."
The disgraced doctor is back in Atlas looking for revenge.
Context: RWBY V7CH2 When Watts is walking through the streets and wreaking havoc on Atlesian computer systems and public infrastructure.
"I do think Ironwood is insulting my intelligence. If this is what his programmers call a security update, then he may as well concede and crash Atlas into Mantle."Context: RWBY V7CH2 when Watts is communicating with Tyrian.
"I wish I had less... eccentric help, but unfortunately beggars can't be choosers."
Context: RWBY V7 CH4 when Watts visits Jacques.
"Oh shouting every time something doesn't go his way. You haven't changed, Jacques."
The one and only sarcastic cat girl.
Please do note, Blake may make the occasional lewd joke and curse. Also, since Bumblebee (the pairing between Blake and Yang) is becoming increasingly canon, our scripts will be reflecting that. Please do not apply if you find this objectionable.
Context: when Ilia reveals her true feelings for Blake in V4.
(Sarcastic: ) “Wow… you too? God damn it why does everyone want to bang me?! How about you get in line? It goes without saying but, the competition’s a little stiff right now. Wait I can TOTALLY use this to my advantage…”
Context: V7CH3 when Yang gets caught looking at Blake's new haircut and gets flustered.
"Oh my gods, she's looking right at me! What if she doesn't like my haircut? Oh I knew it was a mistake! What was I thinking? I should've kept it long, my other ears are freezing!"Context: When Drunk Mann confronts Team RWBY in V7CH1.
"This place is a political powder keg waiting to go off. I doubt this drunk idiot's alone in his feelings. If I were General Ironwood, I wouldn't be worried just about Salem."
Did you know 9/10 doctors recommend you start your day off with a Yang?
Please do note, Yang may make the occasional lewd joke and curse. Also, since Bumblebee (the pairing between Blake and Yang) is becoming increasingly canon, our scripts will be reflecting that. Please do not apply if you find this objectionable.
Context: When Yang's confronting Raven.
"Who do I think I am? Let me tell you EXACTLY who I am. I am Yang Xiao Long. Sister to Ruby Rose, niece to Qrow Branwen, daughter to Taiyang Xiao Long, and daughter... daughter to Summer Rose."
Context: When she gets caught looking at Blake in V7 CH3
"What is WRONG with me? I've flirted with dozens of people, but how come with Blake my brain turns to mush?! It doesn't make any sense!"Context: when she's about to fight Adam at the end of V6. (Yes, this line is a Jojo's reference.)
"Good grief. Well... I can't beat the shit out of Adam without getting any closer."
