"Swords and Roses" is a Fantasy Romance/Action Adventure webcomic currently on Webtoons. We've finished the first season and are working on the second season currently. (you can read it here if you'd like: Swords and Roses) However, before we release season 2 we are wanting to dub season 1! This project is to bring it into a video format on our YouTube channel ("The Gentleman Panda") as a comic dub/visual novel to expand our audience, and we'd love your expertise to make it happen.
The story is a classic, but with a twist- Princess in a tower, guarded by a dragon, waiting for a prince to come and win her hand. However, the prince is the worst egotistical narcissist, the dragon is the best wingman and guardian a girl could ask for and the princess just wants to leave and go on her own adventures. Follow the story of Ambrosia, the Princess who is supposed to wait in the tower, and her faithful half-dragon (but all-sexy) bodyguard, Alder as they go off on adventures throughout Camelot and face their own fears, past trauma and the ever growing darkness that plagues her people. While also enjoying a healthy spoonful of forbidden romance.
This is a small indie project that is, unfortunately for the time being, unpaid. However, each VA will get credited in the end of the video as well as a link in the description to a social media of their choosing. If there's any other way we can assist with putting info on a resume, then let us know and we'd be happy to!
The process can be either of the following:
I will provide you the script as well as the comic chapter that you will be working on. I will also provide you the video version of the chapter, without voice lines in case you're interested in hearing the music. Then you can choose to record on your own, submit the clips and then prepare for any edits and then re-record at your leisure. OR We can schedule a time together to do live feedback in a discord call and do re-takes together in one meeting. Whatever works best for you and your schedule!
Let me know if you have any questions, or if there's any way I can assist you. I absolutely look forward to working with you and can't wait to hear your tapes!

PS: if you leave your email in your submission, I will get back to everyone who applied with whether or not you received the position after the casting call closes. You will know one way or another, I promise.
Hello everyone!
Thank you again for submitting your reels to "Swords and Roses"!! We're going through all of the submissions and will begin the process of selecting each role.
Because of the limitations on the platform for personal DMs, it will take us some time to get back to everyone if you didn't include your email (or if it got redacted). So please, bear with us for the next few weeks as we try to respond to everyone!
Thanks again and we'll be in touch soon,
- Aerow
Hello all!
After hearing some of the amazing talent coming into our submission box, we wanted to add 2 more roles to the table. (One M, One F)
One of the new roles is everyone's favorite sassy ex-assassin (f), and the other is the vampire villain (m) at the end of the first season.
*Please note that these roles would be at the end of season one, so recording for them would be in a few months time.
We may be reaching out to a few of you in particular who we would love to hear audition, but also feel free to submit tapes if you are interested.
If not, we wanted to give a HUGE THANKS to everyone who has submitted already, and we will get back to you all when the call closes in 2 weeks.
Sincerely,
AerowKnight
Because... I wanted to be like you. It was easy. Natural. To be inspired by someone as capable as you. (inspired, talking about her mother)
Why are you suddenly so curious? Why Alder, do I detect a note of Jealousy?? (joking, playful sarcasm)
Deep down, I see your heart of gold, dragon boy. (sincere, whispered in ear while he's asleep)
I really wish I had better news for you. I do. But all the dullards that show up on your doorstep are the same. Self-centered, conceited morons that couldnt see a good thing if it bit them in the rump.
Yes, Princess. (in the tune of 'as you wish' from Princess Bride)
What else can I say? She's special to me. When everyone else seems bent on reminding me that I'm nothing more than a monster, she reminds me I'm human. (somber to aggressive)
Final Warning. Get out of my house. (stern, aggressive, initiating combat)
Hide here until morning. And no matter what happens... promise me you'll stay safe. (reassuring but stern)
You're wearing thin my repertoire of knowledge, your highness. (playful sarcasm)
With how fervently you strive for mastery, I'm beginning to question that. Needless to say, I doubt that anyone would object to you officially calling yourself an alchemist. (encouraging to Ambrosia)
*Say something you think would fit*
*Say something you think would fit*
*Say something you think would fit*
*Say something you think would fit*
Funny, I don't think I heard a 'Thank You' in that sentence.... Wherever you go, you find trouble. You know that? (sassy banter, after assisting Alder)
Not one word from you in 5 years, Alder! And ALL you have to say is "Shit happens?!" What happened to being buddies, huh?? What about having each other's backs?!! (ramping aggression, finally exploding at Alder)
Besides, what you should REALLY be upset about is that I make a better 'Alder' than you do. (sassy, after impersonating Alder and hitting on Rose)
Show yourself you Traitor of Monsters, or I spill her blood across the floor!! (aggressively yelling at Alder, has Rose captive)
So... what do I want with You? Simple. To see your blood bathe the walls. (cocky, to Alder)
However, your kind shares the most Unbearable of Weaknesses: Empathy. (sighs, blanches)
