TEKKEN 8 PROJECT: ENGLISH DUB
Project Overview
(Discord Server based HQ)
(This will also be posted on the "Voice Acting Club" Discord server to maximize audition frequency)
TEKKEN 8 PROJECT: ENGLISH DUB is still in the early stages of development. As writer and director my current focus is on making gameplay specific dialogue including:
-Combat attack lines
-Character intro/outro lines
-Special/Unique interactions between certain characters
This process is meticulous and time-intensive. I rewatch/review character videos of their "all >insert character< dialogue" each line is then translated to come up with lines that complement the character’s personality and adjusted to ensure dubbed dialogue aligns seamlessly with visuals. A key goal is to maintain consistent, natural lip movement to try and avoid awkward movements, although some Bandai Namco game dubs do "get away with" lines that leave characters mouths open when nothing is being said.
Story mode sequences and cinematic cutscenes such as the arcade endings are not planned, purely in game PVP battle dialogue/SFX such as grunts, hit blows "oofs" & KO's. the game uses certain lengths of WAVs (that I'll be providing) so the actors delivering the performance will have to drag said provided WAV into software of their choice but will have to sync up with the speed of the characters lip movement delivering their take(s)/the WAV length actors perform can't exceed the length of the provided WAV (each character will have their own character channel in the dedicated discord server with in game recordings for reference videos to refer to when delivering lines) as of now these 5 characters are the ones I have written scripts for HOWEVER other than Jun's, all 4 other characters only have scripts for their intro/outro animations you can select from the games character customization (rather than outright finished scripts as we need our community to grow so that when it comes time to do special intro dialogue between 2 actors we can do "chemistry test takes" in a dedicated voice channel between the two actors so its not "stiff") this post is more of a "getting my foot in the door" kind of deal obviously all non English characters will get scripts this is just what I have at the moment -DISCLAIMER: FUTURE UPDATES MAY INCLUDE NEW DIALOGUE FOR YOUR POTENTIAL CHARACTER SO UNTIL THE DLC/GAME LIFE CYCLE OF TEKKKEN 8 ENDS I ASK YOU PLEASE STAY IN CONTACT OR RISK YOUR CHAARACTER BEING RECAST- Also The Provided YT URL is lengthy but it really shows what this is all about. (Although in game vocal audio volume has been adjusted/modified since then) -For questions reach out to my (specifically for this) newly made Instagram: THEfe9291
UPDATE:
Batch #1 of characters up for auds. are Jun, Asuka, Lars, Lidia, and Leo (Male and Female thanks to Mods)
UPDATE:
Batch #2 of characters is ready, and this time it’s all about the guys:
⚔️ Shaheen
🛡️ Claudio
🥋 Lee
First off.
Jun – your last chance to try out! I’m thinking about going in a different direction in terms of searching (for that motherly/sympathetic voice) not through here on Casting Call club or Discord servers so if this character is something you’d like to try out for (and potentially have a major character in your portfolio should you get her), now’s the time—before the end of the month!
Mainly:
Since submissions for the female roles in Batch#1 were pretty much nonexistent, Batch #2 focuses on Male characters.

Missing after an encounter with Ogre, she returns in Tekken 8.

Shaheen (Arabic: شاهين ) is a character in the Tekken series who was introduced in Tekken 7 as one of the new playable characters.
Shaheen appears to be a calm and collected individual with a strong sense of justice. He is also forgiving, believing that revenge is not the answer and that even people as diabolical as Kazuya deserve a second chance. He values pride, wealth, and respect, and also believes that one must stand up to tyranny and evil.

Claudio Serafino is a character in the Tekken series who was introduced in Tekken 7 as one of the new characters, he is said to be "the world's strongest exorcist." He leads the organization known as the Archers of Sirius.
Claudio is somewhat sarcastic and cocky, as suggested by his intro quotes that see him calling his opponents either amateurs or an easy win, all while flicking his hair. A number of his poses and entrances have dramatic flair to them, suggesting some pride and vanity to him. One of his victory poses suggests that he can be more empathetic and kind, as he lends a hand to his opponent after they lose against him. However, in another instance, he is also shown to slow clap sarcastically. In both his and Ling Xiaoyu's ending, Claudio shows a sinister side towards his main targets, particularly Devil Gene users such as Jin Kazama, and a willingness to manipulate Xiaoyu's innocent care for Jin in order to achieve his own goals. In the non-canonical Tekken Pachislot 4, Claudio can be seen getting irate and short-tempered when exorcisms do not go well, as compared to a more gentle and compassionate appearance he has when things go his way.
In Tekken 8, Claudio is shown to be regretful of his manipulative intentions towards Xiaoyu, denoting a change in character from his Tekken 7 iteration. Though he still has a cocky and showy demeanor, shown before and during matches, he is also depicted as more genuine, even apologizing to his defeated opponents in one of his win pose quotes.
What I'm Looking for: A really good Itachi Uchiha voice impression (Crispin Freeman) or around that ball park.

Lee Chaolan is a character in the Tekken series. He was introduced in the original Tekken and returned for every subsequent game, except for Tekken 3. He has also at times appeared under his alter-ego dubbed Violet, who appeared as playable in Tekken 4, Tekken Tag Tournament 2, and Tekken 7: Fated Retribution. Lee is the founder and CEO of the robotics corporation Violet Systems. A Chinese orphan, young Lee was seen and then adopted by Heihachi Mishima who raised him as a rival to a young Kazuya Mishima in Heihachi's dojo. Lee is one of the most popular characters in the series for his manipulative style of play, smug personality and his trademark thumbs up and catchphrase "excellent".
Lee is an incredibly smug and conceited romantic with an immense sense of class, unafraid to flaunt his wealth. He prides himself on his grace and elegance, though has a clumsy and eccentric side to him that often baffles and confuses others. Though just as scheming as his adoptive father, Lee is ultimately good-natured and holds a great contempt towards Kazuya and Heihachi. Lee is also a successful businessman and extremely knowledgeable within the field of robotics, which proved helpful in reviving Alisa. He is a tactical expert, successfully masterminding Jin's rescue, and also privately funding, housing, and equipping various anti-Mishima forces, including Lars's Yggdrasil.
What I'm looking for: (Vague for now but I will come back and edit this when I get a better grip on it) a mimic of his JP actor essentially
