❀✿ The Secret of Friendship ✿❀ : Manga Dub

Project Overview


Hello to you all on casting call club! We are, as the video suggests, doing a casting call for the 3 chapter shoujo manga series: The Secret of Friendship. The series is so short, it's sad, but we still believe it gets at the core of what friendship really is.

Sypnosis: Moe is a gorgeous high school student whom
others find difficult to get along with, as her blunt honesty often
comes off as insensitive. However, after meeting Eiko Sakamoto, a plain
but exceedingly gracious girl, Moe feels she has finally found someone
who truly understands her. Ever since then, the two have been
inseparable best friends.

If you have not read the series, we highly suggest that you at least read the first chapter or the chapter that your character is in before auditioning. It will give you an advantage, trust us.


Requirements:

  1. 1. Decent microphone quality. I will feel so badly if you have a good voice but have bad sound quality. If we like your voice a lot, we can discuss other options, but you will have the upper hand if you have good quality.

  2. 2. A form of contact. Email or Skype. If you get casted we will need your email and your Skype username.

  3. 3. Availabilty. When we begin working on the project we want to have a few practice sessions so that we sound like we are actually interacting. Please have some free time on your hand. Of course, we will coordinate with the cast.
  • 4. A good attitude. Being a nice person is just as important as being talented. If we critique your audition, please take it seriously.


PLEASE NOTE: Click on the links for your character!! We wanted it to be easy to see what your character looks like and to hear what we imagine them to sound like. If you have a different intrepretation, BASED ON THE LINE LINKS, make suer your audition has both your intrepretation and our intrepretation. Thank you!!

Eiko is Moe's best friend. While Moe is bluntly honest and straightforward, Eiko is the opposite. She is very insecure about herself, but has a kind heart and forgives anybody at the drop of a hat. She also greatly admires Moe's confidence, because it is something she lacks. Despite their differences, their friendship is strong and cherished by both.

  • Too nice? Nah. More like wishy-washy and a goody two shoes!

  • She's the coolest person ever! If I were a guy, I would totally go out with her! That is, if she agreed to have me. I know I would totally fall love for her.

  • It's hard for me to be direct with other people. That's one of the things I don't like about myself. I envy you.

Moe is extremely blunt so sometimes her honesty comes off as insensitivity to other people, which led her to think that no one would ever understand her, that is until she met Eiko-- her best friend, the only person she can be herself with. Thus, she holds their friendship very highly. She also treats her beauty as a curse because she believes it distracts from who she is as a person. And whenever a guys asks Moe out, she always answers: “Only if you promise to put Eiko before me.”

PLEASE NOTE: 
Moe yells a lot, so make sure your micorphone can handle it and still sound good.

  • Sure, I'll go out with you. But dating me means spending time with Eiko. She'll be your priority, not me.

  • You selfish jerk....DO YOU ANY IDEA HOW LONLEY IT MUST BE FOR EIKO?! TRY PUTTING YOURSELF IN HER SHOES!

  • I decided that if we became friends, I'd treat you like you were the best thing to happen in my life. And that I would only date a guy with a heart as big as yours.

PLEASE NOTE:
Narugami doesn't show up until Chapter 2, but unlike Tsuchida, he is in most of Chapter 2 and 3. Most of the second chapter involves his own cycnical monologue. Make sure you get that tone down.

  • Let me tell you something. You can't be more wrong about girls.

  • She probably got sick of you. That friendship crap she fed you was just an excuse.

  • WHAT THE HELL?! YOU EXPECT ME TO WAIT THREE MONTHS?! ARE YOU GLUED TO THE HIP OR SOMETHING?! AND YOUR TEXTS ARE LITTERED WITH SWEATH DROPS!

  • I developed a crush on Moe-chan...from seeing her around you. She looks really happy when she's with you. You two are the best of friends.
