About Us:
I am a founder of the channel "Dubfounded". Here at Dubfounded, we are dedicated to bringing your favorite manga series to life through dynamic voice acting, immersive sound design, and an authentic adaptation of the original material. With a passion for anime and manga, our team strives to deliver the most engaging and faithful dubs, ensuring that each series gets the attention it deserves.
So far, our discography includes four exciting episodes covering the Jujutsu Kaisen Hidden Inventory arc, and one episode of Chainsaw Man already released. We’re continually working to expand our catalog, diving deeper into the manga worlds that fans love and creating dubs that resonate with both newcomers and long-time fans.
We love engaging with our voice actors and always strive to create a collaborative, open-minded environment. Whether you're a seasoned pro or new to the scene, we value creativity and encourage fresh, unique takes. Our team believes in making the dub experience fun, inclusive, and inspiring for everyone involved. We are a relatively new team, only starting about a month ago with our dubs, and look forward to making even more dubs in the future. Overall, we haven't received any complaints and only good feedback from the way we do things around here. Tucker and SRG, the founders of Dubfounded are the directors of every project, and in no exception will there be other directors. Building a chemistry with these folks is at the highest of our concern, along with making quality content for anime/manga fans to enjoy along with making ourselves along with the voice actors in the dubs stand out.
About The Project:
This fandub project covers Sword Art Online Re:Aincrad Volume 1, focusing on the introduction of the virtual world of Aincrad and the beginning of Kirito’s journey as a beta tester trapped within the deadly game. The story unfolds as thousands of players realize they cannot log out, turning their fantasy into a fight for survival — where dying in the game means dying in real life.
The goal of this fandub is to deliver an immersive experience that captures the series’ emotional depth, breathtaking sword battles, and moments of quiet humanity amidst chaos — brought to life through passionate voice performances and cinematic sound design.
IMPORTANT NOTES AND GUIDELINES:
Being able to meet deadlines. We will be expecting the lines to be delivered within a week, but details are subject to change.
Interest and knowledge of the anime series in this project. Because of the nature of such a project, it's highly encouraged to brief yourself over the characters, who they are, and how they sound in both official and unofficial depictions.
Decent microphone and quality audio; XLR is preferred, but USB is totally fine. However, I request that there be no background noise or distortion; anything of such will be dismissed.
There will be screaming involved as well as light cursing, so please keep this in mind when auditioning. Make sure your audio doesn't peak or distort when submitting your audition.
Discord will be the primary form of communication and is required to continue further with this project. Please be responsive with communications; try to respond within 24 hours of receiving messages.
Expect revisions to submissions of lines as needed when working together; ideally, this shouldn't occur often, but any complications with the animation might cause for this to occur if necessary.
PLEASE READ and FOLLOW these guidelines!! we stress that you do, as compliance with such will ensure a higher chance of being selected for the role.
Lastly, we want to note that while we would prefer similarity to the original voices, emotion and energy are most important above all. This will be a very energetic and high-octane video, which means we will need such from your voices! (that being said, being able to do both is beyond ideal)
If you have any questions regarding the project, please feel free to reach us by Discord: lilbro89 and srg06
Thank you for reading and showing interest, and we look forward to hearing your auditions!
Hello everyone! I am sorry that you are getting this notification super late, but we have finally finished the first episode of SAO!
Thank you so much for auditioning, and good luck to all of you out there! the link to the video is below if you want to watch!
Asuna Yuuki is a fictional character who appears in the Sword Art Online series of light novels by Reki Kawahara. She is mononymously more commonly known as just Asuna, her player name in the eponymous video game which the novels are set in.
“I don’t want to JUST survive. I want to live.”
“No matter how cruel the world becomes, I’ll never lose my heart.”
“There are limits to what a solo player can do, Kirito!"
Klein is one of the very first players Kirito meets in Sword Art Online. He’s cheerful, loyal, and often acts as the comic relief among the cast, but beneath that easygoing personality is a deeply loyal and courageous friend.
“Even if I can’t be the hero, I’ll still protect my friends!”
“You know, I can’t just abandon people who are in trouble. That’s not my style.”
“We might be trapped in here, but that doesn’t mean we have to stop living.”
Suguha is Kirito's cousin though she was raised believing they were siblings. In the real world, she’s kind, athletic, and practices kendo, which gives her a strong, disciplined nature. When Kazuto becomes trapped in SAO, Suguha is heartbroken but also deeply supportive — she trains harder in kendo to cope with the fear of losing him.
“I just wanted to understand the world you were trapped in… to be close to you, even if you couldn’t see me.”
“You can’t always protect people by standing still. Sometimes, you have to move forward.”
“You’ve carried so much alone… Let me share a little of that weight.”
Akihiko Kayaba is the creator of Sword Art Online and the NERvGear technology that makes full-dive virtual reality possible. Brilliant, calm, and enigmatic, he’s both the architect and the villain of the first arc. When the players first log into SAO, he traps all 10,000 of them inside, announcing that death in the game means death in real life.
“This may be a game, but it’s not something you play.”
“I created Sword Art Online for one reason… to create this world, and observe it.”
“The fact that you’re standing here means you’ve already conquered death once.”
Silica is one of the earliest side characters introduced in Sword Art Online. She’s a young beast tamer known for her gentle personality and her bond with her pet dragon, Pina. Inside SAO, she’s optimistic and kindhearted, though a bit naive at first. When Pina is killed protecting her, she’s devastated — but Kirito helps her journey to the Hill of Memories, where she revives Pina, teaching her about courage and self-reliance.
“I’ll get stronger. I’ll make sure Pina never has to protect me again.”
“Kirito… thank you for saving me. Not just from that monster, but from myself.”
“Even in this world, there are still kind people. I’m glad I met you.”
