Getting a role
Hi. With the deadline fast approaching, I want to inform you that if you get a role, I will DM you, and we'll work out how we're all communicating from there.
I am making a dub of the Transformers comics from Skybound. If possible, try to read the comics so that you get a good idea of the character you are auditioning for. Certain characters have large gaps between appearances so check the comics to know when your character appears and doesn’t appear.
If you need to drop the role for whatever reason, please tell me. I will be very understanding, and will recast your character. However please know that this is a commitment, so understand how large your character’s part is, and decide how committed you are. (Eg. Try not to bail on me but if absolutely necessary, I will make due) Please audition for as many roles as you like, though I will try to give everyone only one role. For auditions please do the following:
Record 2-3 takes of all the provided audition lines for your chosen role(s) to audition for, in a relatively quiet room with minimal background noise.
Each audio file should be formatted like the following (Example: Take 1 file: Line 1 line 2, line 3. Take 2 File: Line 1, Line 2, Line 3. Take 3 File: Line 1, Line 2, Line 3.)
(No spamming me with 10,000 takes of a character you really want)
(Starscream and the army vets are already cast)
If you get the role, I will message your account on CCC. If you don't hear from me, a week after the deadline, assume you haven't gotten the role.
Have fun and be creative. This is a real passion project of mine.

Thank you, everyone, for auditioning! I am honoured to have so many talented actors auditioning. I have some characters casted in my brain. I still need auditions for Skywarp and Jetfire, so please try to audition.
Recurring character
Teenage boy (Male)
Spike dreams of becoming an astronaut, but he doesn’t want to hurt his dad, who he has a dysfunctional relationship with. Hopeful and adventurous. Eager voice. Typical teenage protagonist, who gets sucked into another world. Experiment and have fun with it.
(Reminding tone, with some expectation) Yeah. Carly and I were going to check out the full moon tonight, remember? On top of Hangers Rock?
(Sad) Doing this kind of thing… it reminds me of him.
(Awestruck and confused) They look like… I don’t know. Some sort of ROBOTS.
Recurring character
Teenage girl. Spike’s girlfriend (Female)
She is a cheery, and kind individual. Wants nothing to do with the transformers and strives to return home. Bright voice, with ability to do more emotional scenes, in the future. Conveys emotion, and can also be sad.
(Encouraging, empathetic) You shouldn’t have to be afraid to tell him you’re trying to be an astronaut. Cal is the best place to do it.
(Distressed) Spike, what are you doing?! We don’t even know what side he’s on!
(Sympathizing) I wish it was easy for you, Spike. I’m sorry about your Dad. About Jimmy.
Recurring character
Spike’s alcoholic dad. (Male)
An alcoholic Vietnam vet, who still loves his son, deep down, but is processing the loss of his other son. Conveys emotion, and still harshness, of experiance.
(Depressed) Why would you want to remember? It’s best to forget all that.
(Tired and grumpy) Eventually you’re going to have to grow up, Spike.
(Angry) Dave, what the hell do you know about it?! Have you gone through what I went through?!
Recurring character
Autobot leader (Male)
Strong enough to be gentle. Holds all life with reverence. A true leader, and hero. Selfless and a father figure. Not afraid to get his hands dirty, and can be a fighter, when necessary. A very fearsome one at that. Deep, booming voice. Strong and courageous.
(Disappointed, and righteous) Shooting being while they lie helpless?! Starscream, I thought you were a warrior.
(Sad, regretfully) Where I am from, the ground doesn’t sway when I walk. I don’t leave marks where my feet tread. I should’ve known better.
Autobots, roll out! For Cybertron and for earth!
Recurring character (Large gaps between appearances)
Cybertronian who left before the war (Male)
He is a kind, innocent individual who just wants to help. He wants peace, but unwitting continued a war. Light, but aged voice. English accent perhaps.
(Glad, and reminiscing) Starscream, my old friend. I have not seen you… for centuries.
(Apologetic, and distraught) You must forgive me. I have been away for centuries. I did not know about this war.
(In pain and distraught) Starscream… NO… this is not what I wanted…
(Recurring character)
Deception second in command (Male)
Loyal, cold calculating, and strategic. He believes in honour, and his cause. Cares deeply for his cassetticons. Monotone voice. Will add a radio voice filter on the final product. Send me your lines without a filter.
(Matter of factly) You have the most Energon reserved. Thus the harvesting is up to YOU.
(Explaining) Teletraan One is damaged beyond our current capabilities of repair.
(Seething with rage) YOU KICKED MY RAVAGE. The only path left is extermination.
Recurring character
Autobot medic and old friend of Optimus (Male)
Cranky old, doctor, who has a practical slightly cynical outlook. He is a voice of reason. Old, and tired voice. Weary, grumpy and opinionated.
(Pessimistic) Just our luck! The deceptions got activated first!
(Concerned and frustrated) It’s not about the matrix. It’s about you! The matrix channels the spirit of its host, and when it’s used, it drains you. And we need you.
(Mad) They are NOT innocent! You saw what they did to spike! One of their own! They are prone to anger and destruction!
Recurring character (Large gaps between appearances)
Deception thug (Male)
Gang member type. Not too bright. Sadistic, and thinks it funny to hurt others. A bit of a nut case, who can act immature. Punker type. Higher pitched, tough, raspy voice.
(Sneering) Scatter, Autobots!!!
(Hysterical) Hahaha! You’re trying to protect him?! Hehehe… Cool.
(Sadistic and in a punker tone) Come here, squishy, I promise I won’t hurt you!
One episode character
Carly’s dad. (Male)
Slightly soft spoken, very supportive and wants what’s best for the people he loves.
(Happy, To a close friend) Still need a ride for the evening shift?
(Advising) That’s why I gotta be honest with you. Spike needs you. Your support. I know it’s been a rough go, but-
