Tales of Symphonia Fandub-Episode 1
Project Overview
This is a fandub for one of my favorite games, Tales of Symphonia. Tales of Symphonia, for those of you who do not know, is an action RPG in the Tales series and is often regarded as the best one. This is my first fandub project I have ever directed, but I have a lot of real world acting directing experience so don't worry about a lack of direction or communication.
I attempted this once before, however due to some behind the scenes things it fell behind and never got a chance to get off the ground. So I'm eager to try again.
Here is a brief description about the game itself, straight from the back of the box:
In a dying world, legend has it that a Chosen One will one day rise from amongst the people and the land will be reborn. The line between good and evil blurs in this epic adventure where the fate of two interlocked worlds hangs in the balance.
The game is a very long project and we ask that those who are cast remain committed to their roles. If the actors have to leave the project for one reason or another, that's fine. No hard feelings. We just require some notice so that we can recast them. We also ask that the actors who audition have a relatively high quality mic and keep background noise to a minimum.
For this audition specifically, we will be auditioning for all of the roles that appear in the first episode. We will release additional auditions on an episode by episode basis, as it is a long project and we cannot realistically cast every character at once.
This episode will cover the beginning to the exit from the Temple of Martel.
The original game IS voiced but we don't ask that you do a perfect impression of the original voice actor, but rather we ask that you capture the spirit of the character. Example scenes will be provided for each major role.
We have completed the first episode! Take a look at it here!

Voice Actor
Lloyd Irving

Unpaid
Lloyd is the main protagonist of the game. He is a young hopeful idealist who wants to make the world a better place for everyone regardless of origin. He may not be the brightest, but he's got the biggest heart and can't sit by when other people are suffering.
Here is a good reference scene. The video and audio quality is a little fuzzy, but you can still get the gist.

Give me your name, and I shall give you mine.
Dwarven Vow #4: Don’t depend on others. Walk on your own two legs.
It’s not the same! This city doesn’t have a non-aggression treaty with the Desians! How can we go on a quest to regenerate the world if we can’t even save the people standing right in front of us?!

Colette Brunel

Role assigned to:
AlyVA
Colette is a sweet, naive girl who is will to do whatever it takes to save the world. She is the Chosen of Regeneration and can't look away from people in need.
There are additional character details that we will let you know, should you get cast.
Here is a reference scene. It shows how much Colette is will to sacrifice for the sake of others. It does contain some spoilers.

[Casting a spell in battle] Oh, Holy One, cast thy purifying light upon these corrupt souls... JUDGMENT!
I'm sorry to worry everyone…
He said we can throw the Exspheres away at any time. But right now, we need to carry the burden of the hopes and dreams of the victims and fight on their behalf.
Voice Actor
Genis Sage
closed
Unpaid
Genis is a child prodigy. He is Lloyd's best friend and miles ahead in intellect of everyone around him. He is also the youngest member of the party. Because of his age, we are willing to let men and women audition for this role. While usually very mature for his age, he is still a child and can sometimes act as such. He lives with his sister who has been like a mother to him.
Here is a reference scene. It's near the end of the game and provides some spoilers. But the scene by itself doesn't reveal too much of the plot.

[Sing-song] Ha, ha. You got re-jec-ted.
No, I don't understand, that's why I asked. Are you stupid or something?
Marble? Marble! NO!
Voice Actor
Raine Sage

Unpaid
Role assigned to:
Eiffel
Raine is the professor at the school that Lloyd, Genis, and Colette attend. She is also Genis's older sister and could be described as the mother figure of the party. She is incredibly intelligent and mature. But when she is around ancient ruins, she goes into what is referred to as "Maniac Mode" and she becomes overwhelmed by all the potential knowledge that could be gained for such places.
Here is a reference scene. She is in Ruin Mode here but you can still get a feeling of who she is as a person from the scene.

MARVELOUS!!!
In order to change the world, I must first change myself.
If you don't understand, then make use of your remaining life to think about what it means for a person to live. That's my final lesson to you as a teacher. Now go. Do as your teacher says.
Voice Actor
Kratos Aurion
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to:
Mitzerino
At first glance Kratos is just a mercenary who accepts the charge of protecting Colette in her journey of Regeneration. But it's obvious from the start that there is something more to this mysterious man. He is cold and distant but takes special interested in Lloyd and his training.
More character backstory will be given if you are cast in the role.
Here is a reference scene. There are so few scenes that involve Kratos on Youtube and AREN'T major spoiler heavy, that this 24 second scene was all I could find.

This isn't a field trip, you know.
[after Kvar calls him a "pathetic inferior being"] Feel the pain- [Kratos slashes Kvar] of those inferior beings-[Kratos slashes Kvar again and Kvar falls to the floor] ...as you burn in hell!
That's why war is so tragic. To win means to make victims of your opponents and give birth to hatred.
Voice Actor
Botta
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to:
HylianZeno
Botta is a recurring character in the game. He begins the game as an enemy of the Chosen and her party but much later in the game becomes an ally. Botta is a strong and stoic person is very devoted to his organization and his cause. In the game he speaks with a British accent, but that is not necessary here.
Sir! We've received reports that the Chosen's group has infiltrated the facility.
I never thought YOU'D show up. Damn. Retreat for now.
Voice Actor
Remiel

Unpaid
Role assigned to:
lagrecamaxwell
Remiel is an angel of Cruxis and is the guide that helps Colette along her journey. He meets them at every seal when they manage to reach it. He is believed to be Colette's father.
He is very peaceful. Yet powerful. He commands a calming, divine power whenever he descends to deliver a message to the Chosen and her party.
I am Remiel. I am an angel of judgement.
The time has come to awaken the Goddess Martel, who sleeps at the center of the world.
Once the Goddess Martel is revived by the Chosen, the two worlds will surely achieve peace, just as the Chosen wishes.
Voice Actor
Phaidra Brunel
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to:
ana_
Phaidra is Colette's grandmother. She is a kind and warm person who always has Colette's best interest at heart. She appears in the first couple of episodes but doesn't make another appearance for a while.
Run, Colette!
That is correct. The Chosen is to receive judgement from heaven. But the priests that were to accompany her fell at the hands of the Desians.
Voice Actor
Frank Brunel
closed
Unpaid
Frank is Colette's adopted father. He is always very worried about her, but understands her destiny and supports her in all her endeavors .
Frank only appears in this and the next episode.
The Desians invaded the village just a short while ago. Thankfully, no one was hurt. They passed through the village and headed for the temple.Good luck, Colette. Lloyd, Genis. You two should go on home.
Voice Actor
Grand Priest
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to:
MagikdaggerZ
The Grand Priest was intended to be one of the individuals that helped Colette through the Church of Martel's trial. Whether he was meant to guide her past that point is unclear as he dies shortly after he is introduced. During his entire scene he is using his dying breath to warn the Chosen that the Desians have attacked the temple and that she must be careful.
The Desians…attacked the temple…Please be careful! I regret that I was unable…to protect…the Chosen…
Voice Actor
Vidarr
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to:
HylianZeno
Vidarr is a big hulking brute that is brought in as a ringer when dealing with the Chosen's party at the Church of Martel.
He is the very first boss of the game and he only has only the two lines. When he is introduced and when he is defeated.
Do not get in our way!
I can't...believe I lost...to a bunch of kids!
Voice Actor
Desian/Renegade Soldier
closed
Unpaid
This is an audition for any and all Desian and Renegade soldiers that have speaking roles throughout the game. More often than not they will have only one or two lines. But the lines they do have need to be said with intent and said with malice. This is also a recurring role as I will more than likely use the same pool of actors every time these guys appear and they appear a lot.
Lord Botta, there she is!
Well then, die at the hands of the Desians you so hate! Get them!
