Archipelago Comic Dub Pilot

Archipelago Comic Dub Pilot

Project Overview

"Credenza, an ordinary waitress, discovers a man washed up on the shores of Ruin Island. He is wounded and on the brink of death, but with Credenza's help is able to recover. The only problem? The man's mind has been shattered; gone are his sanity and memories."
~TVTropes, a quick summary of the beginning of the comic.

I've been a fan of the webcomic "Archipelago" by H.L DeVera(http://thearchipelago.smackjeeves.com/archive/) for not too long, but it has easily become one of my favorite webcomics out there. I've always imagined voices for this comic, and this may be the chance to realize that. 


This project is a comic dub, meaning the audio will be played over the visuals from the comic. I'm not gonna try to overshoot this, so I'm starting with the first 20 pages of the first chapter as a sort of pilot. If it works out, I will try to continue it with each installment as a separate project. I'm hoping that if this pilot works that I will be able to bring the same voice actors on for later "Episodes". 



I'm hoping for some enthusiastic voice acting and decent mic quality. The first 20 pages aren't too demanding, but if it does continue there will be rather emotional and loud scenes later on.  That being said, this isn't trying to be a top quality project, it's just meant to be for fun.



Here is a Sound FX test as an example of how the project could look: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJbmXzkNDIY

Voice Actor
Voice Actor
Credenza Black
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to: Celesterra

A waitress working at the Talking Skull Inn on Ruin Island. She was orphaned at a young age and served as a slave to pirates for a time. She eventually ended up on Ruin Island where she was adopted by the Burilia family. Very caring in tone, but strong willed.  
Credenza is a kind, helpful person, a leader with a special gift for inspiring confidence and loyalty in others. She cares immensely about doing the right thing and generally tries to find the good in the people she meets.


  • *uneasy* "Oh Credenza, what have you gotten yourself into?"

  • *angry* "And there's more where that came from, next time you try eating people on Ruin Island!"

  • *inquisitive* "You seem like an honest person..." *a bit of a laugh* "If a little crazy." *determined* "But I'll trust you."

Voice Actor
Blitz/Raven
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to: zaru

A madman inhabited by a dangerous spirit. Blitz is covered in scars and carries no memories, he seems to have reverted to a childlike state, speaking simply and easily distracted. Raven is a malevolent spirit who's goal is unclear. 
Being two sides of the same person, I feel they should be voiced by the same actor. I also feel that their voices should be distinct from each other, enough so that they could talk to each other with a clear difference as to who is who.


  • Blitz: *childlike amazement* "Oooooh... shiny!"

  • Blitz: *determined* "I will never lose this! I will never let this go, not ever!"

  • Raven: *quiet and sinister* "You have a meddlesome aura about you. It would be better to kill you know, while you sleep."

Voice Actor
Voice Actor
Jan
open
Unpaid

The witchdoctor of Ruin island, a man with a magical connection to the land he lives on. Jan acts as guardian and caretaker of the island and the people and animals who live on it. Jan is confident in his abilities as a witchdoctor, but is uncertain of himself outside of his magic work. 
Could be voiced by either a man or a woman. If man I'm looking for a youthful voice, if woman... you know Ash Ketchum?

  • *disheartened* "I'm just the crazy witchdoctor that lives in the hut down the road."

  • *sleepily and annoyed* "Hnnnn, I'm up! I'm up already! You'll have to come back in the morning! I'm off duty!"

  • *eager and proud* "Oh, no need! I'll just teleport him! I've been experimenting with my magic."

Voice Actor
Voice Actor
Paolin Burilia
open
Unpaid

The cranky co-owner of The Talking Skull Inn and eldest of the Burilia siblings. Paolin is Credenza's adopted brother/caretaker and pessimistic voice of reason. Should probably sound ticked off and sort of tired most of the time.

  • *quietly amused but agitated* "I've lost count of the number of times you've tried to bring dangerous, injured beasts here."

  • *authoritative* "Look, tomorrow morning we'll put him on the ferry and send him to Coin Island." *suddenly softer, sounds sincere* "It's only a day's trip away."

  • *sarcastically* "Naw, can't be him. That guy is so injured he won't be moving for a few days."

Voice Actor
Vanesse Burilia
open
Unpaid

The youngest Burilia sibling. She works as a waitress at the Talking Skull Inn along with Credenza, her childhood friend. 
Vanesse is cheerful and optimistic. She may seem a little ditzy, but she thinks straight and is very observant to her friends' emotions. Looking for a sort of high voice, but not necessarily young. 

  • *concerned but hopeful* "But he's so shy, it'd be a lot easier for all of us if I just asked him."

  • *excited* "Oh good! He's awake!" 

  • *scared and grossed* "Ohmygosh ohmygosh that is sooo gross."

Voice Actor
Voice Actor
Korus Burilia
open
Unpaid

In stark comparison to his older brother, Korus is optimistic and practically mute. He runs the kitchen of the Burilia's inn. Korus is very friendly. He loves to cook and even more to feed people.

He has no spoken words at all within the first chapter, only grunts.

  • *very deep and quiet* *inquisitive grunts, no words*

  • *satisfied chuckle* 

  • *animal like growling and roaring*
