INTRODUCTION
Hello everyone! First of all, my name is Harris and I have been looking to do fandubbing/audio-based projects for a while. I originally did some stuff for fun with friends towards the end of the Archie Comics series, though that never ended up anywhere. I never got into the IDW series at first due to being busy with other things in my life at the time, but when I did I got really into it! Now, I'm looking to get into actually working on a project that will be released publicly via YouTube.
Golden Rings as a channel and idea is mostly focused on Sonic-based media, the primary video idea currently is to do a dub/motion comic adaptation of the IDW Sonic series. In the future, there's potential to branch out into other things, and other franchises perhaps, but this whole interest in dubbing for me came primarily from my love of the Sonic franchise.
PRODUCTION
The series will be released on YouTube on a (hopefully) monthly basis, and each episode will generally cover one issue (mini-series such as Tangle & Whisper might be specials condensing the whole story into one). On top of the dubbing, sound effects and music will be mixed in. As such, auditions will probably be up somewhat frequently at first (the moment casting is settled for the first episode, for example, I'll immediately start casting for the second), this is to hopefully keep up a fairly steady production rate. Things might be rocky and not exactly to the monthly release at first, but hopefully we'll get there.
AUDITIONING
Interested in trying out for a role? Great! Below you'll find the roles for the episode, each one will have an image, a brief description and some voice lines, naturally. For the actual project, I will be providing comic panels for reference to help you figure out how to best do the lines. As far as the actual auditions go, I have a few general things I want to say:
That's really it, I don't want to enforce too many things and drag down people from having fun with this, it's not an official product, and it's mostly just for fun! So please remember that and enjoy yourselves. With all that said, I hope to hear everyone's auditions soon!
Sonic is a free spirit, cocky and almost always fearless in the face of danger. His worries are usually centred around worrying about his friends, or the innocent people around him. He loves danger about as much as he loves running and is always up for a good fight.
[Sonic notices a town is under attack from an army of rogue Badniks.]
Whuh-oh, that doesn't look good. Sounds like the locals are putting up a fight. I hope they don't mind me lending a hand!
[Sonic taunts a Super Badnik - before realising he's put himself in the middle of all four of them!]
C'mon! Swing-batta-batta-batta...swing? Yeah, okay, this one's on me.
[After Tails shows concern for Sonic's safety, Sonic tries to reassure his buddy.]
Hey. Sure, we've had some close calls. But we've come out of it fine in the end, right? I'll be careful, I promise.
Tails is Sonic's long-time buddy, almost as long as the blue blur has been fighting Eggman. Though he's smart and perfectly capable, he's still a kid and that vulnerability still shows through, especially with Sonic who he thought had died recently, during the attack that led to Eggman taking over the planet, which they are still in the process of cleaning up after.
[After destroying a bunch of Super Badniks with Sonic.]
This would be going a lot faster if we had Knuckles with us.
[Sonic assumes that the Badniks attacking the town are still working without direction, Tails isn't so sure.]
Normally I'd agree...but this was a *much* more coordinated attack, at least compared to anything we've seen lately.
[Seeing how easy Sonic is taking the situation, Tails begins to worry about his safety.]
Yeah, but if they are get orders from someone...j-just...be careful, okay? If you get caught off-guard again...get hurt...
[As Badniks infiltrate the town, the guard tries to hold them off while unarmed civilians get away.]
Run! Get to the storm bunker! (grunts as he is hit)
[After being saved by Sonic.]
You're...you're Sonic! You're...*the* Sonic!
[Surprised by Sonic racing by, telling them to backup their guard by the gate.]
O-Okay! We're on it!
[After being saved by Sonic.]
All this terror might be worth it if I get to say Sonic winked at me!
[After being saved by Sonic.]
I hope we survive long enough to get his autograph!
