INTRODUCTION
Sonic X Redux is an uncut redub of the original Japanese version of the Sonic X Anime with a brand new cast, using the original Japanese OST and aiming to stay as true to the original Japanese Broadcast as possible!
PRODUCTION
The series will be released on our website in video format when they're finished. Each episode will be completely re-edited from the ground up, including the sound effects and Original OST from the Japanese version of the show.
AUDITIONING
Interested in trying out for a role? Great! Below you'll find the roles for the episode(s), each one will have an image, a brief description and some voice lines, naturally. For the actual project, we have a voice director on staff to help provide vocal direction for your performance. Roles that aren't in the listing currently (i.e Sonic The Hedgehog) are already casted to other voice talents. As far as the actual auditions go, I have a few general things that I'd like to say:
- Provide at least two takes of every line in AA BB CC format, each take, try to use a different tone.
- Don't feel obligated to imitate any previous VA that has played said character that you're auditioning for, if you can do it really well then cool! Though it isn't mandatory.
- Clean, unedited audio! Don't add any filters/effects. I want to hear your voice unfiltered and unaltered, when it comes to the actual post production, it'll be left up to the post production staff to do your performance justice!
AUDITION RECCOMENDATIONS & GOALS
To elaborate on what we're looking for, we've added this section to help you if you're a little lost on what exactly we want out of your audition.
When it comes to your voice, you should be able to somewhat match the Japanese performances in Sonic X. If you need to know what those sound like, you can reference clips on YouTube or you can go back and watch the subbed version of the show, available on Hulu.
While getting close to the Japanese is important, what is more important is that your audition has good range. This is because Sonic X has a lot of powerful and emotional scenes that require said range.
Play around with your voice and add improv if you think it will show more of what you can do! Most of all, you should be passionate about this project, because it is ambitious in nature.
All in all, have fun with it!
