The Disastrous Life of Saiki K Fan Dub
Project Overview
This is going to be a fan dub of the Disastrous Life of Saiki K, which has recently become one of my favorite anime of all time! I know there is already an official dub for season 1, but I think this would be a really fun project to work on, plus this way there will be a dub of the full series, even if it is unofficial. I will be voicing Kusuo myself since I have gotten some positive feedback on my voice for him before, but I will need voices for all the other characters, as well as an audio editor and a video editor. As of now, I have no money, so I can't pay you up front, but depending on how things go, I might be able to pay you later on. I make no guarantees, but I'll see what I can do.
This project is mostly just for fun, but please try to have little or no static in your recordings. I will mostly be looking for voices somewhat similar to the Japanese actors, but really, I'm just looking for anyone who can capture the essence and tone of the character. So even if your voice doesn't sound exactly like the original, please feel free to audition anyway!
One last thing, if all goes according to plan, I am hoping to dub both of the main seasons as well as the 6 episodes of Saiki K Reawakened, so if you audition, please be willing to commit to a somewhat long-term project. I don't really have any requirements other than that, apart from having decent mic quality and the ability to stick around for the full series. Like I said before, this is mostly just for fun, so as long as you meet those 2 requirements, you should be good to go!
NOTE: For now, all the characters I have are the main ones from the first half of Season 1. More characters will be added later, and we will need lots of extra voices as well.

Update
Hi everyone, I just wanted to announce that I still am hoping to have this project happen. There's still a lot of roles with no auditions, and I would definitely need audio and video editors, so hopefully it can still happen at some point. I will most likely cast some more of the main characters soon. Thanks for your patience! -
Deadline Extended
The deadline has been extended since we haven't gotten enough auditions yet. I will be casting the roles that did get auditions soon though! -
Update #1: 4 New Characters
4 new characters have been added; Takahashi, Matsuzaki, Uryuko Chono, and Michael/Mr Ike. More will be added later!
Shun Kaido is one of Saiki's classmates. He believes he possesses amazing powers that he has sealed away, and that he is constantly under threat from a secret organization known as the Dark Reunion. However, when confronted with difficult situations, he panics. When he is doing his "Jet Black Wings" (the name he gives himself) act, he speaks in a deeper, more powerful voice, but when he is in any kind of danger, his voice gets higher and more panicked.
(Jet Black Wings voice) My name's Shun Kaido. I'm an 11th grader at PK Academy. Well, that's who I am on the surface. A dark force called Black Beat dwells in my right arm. And they want to steal it from me and create a new world order. They're part of a secret society called the Dark Reunion!
(Panicked voice) Why am I standing in front of this thing? What's wrong with me?
Nendo is a well-meaning but stupid guy. His face and dumb personality tend to scare people away, but he is seen to really care about his friends and family. He considers Saiki his "pal," though Saiki wants nothing to do with him.
What happened?! You're not dead, right?
Hey, no one's here. Well, I guess it's time for mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.
(For the third line, just attempt to do that weird grunting noise he does. There are clips of the Japanese version online and if you have Netflix, all the episodes are on there. I don't really know how to explain it lol).
Kuboyasu is a formed delinquent trying to turn his life around, but he often slips back to his old ways, especially early in the series. Despite his flaws, he is also seen to be a loyal person who will always stand up for his friends, even if his way of doing that is to beat someone up.
That was close, they almost found out about me already. It's not easy acting normal. I'm a former punk, and my parents were delinquents too. My old man led a biker gang, and my old lady led a women's gang.
Who the hell is he?! A punk? Not to mention he seems pretty fired up. Things are about to get interesting. I guess I've got some time to kill.
Toritsuka is a spirit medium, so he can see and communicate with ghosts. When he realizes that Saiki has psychic powers, he begs him to train him, but Saiki quickly learns that he is actually a pervert and wants to use psychic powers to look at girls. He spends most of his time trying and failing to impress girls and begging Saiki to help him.
Nice to meet you, Master! I am Reita Toritsuka. I'm 16 years old... Well, you can use telepathy to learn all that.
Master, you can read minds. I know I can't lie to you, so I'll just be honest. I want to use psychic powers to see naked girls and win the lottery.
Teruhashi is the "perfect pretty girl," which is what everyone sees her as, including herself. On the outside she is sweet, caring, and selfless, but on the inside she is manipulative and selfish. After Saiki ignores her because he can see who she really is with his telepathy, she becomes obsessed with making him gasp when he sees her like everyone else.
My name is Kokomi Teruhashi. Not to brag or anything, but I'm the perfect example of a pretty girl. I'm not trying to be arrogant, I'm just stating a fact.
Wait, so he disappeared? Was I the one seeing the illusion all along? No Way... I am? That can't be true!
Yumehara is a romantic, but her feelings are also very unstable and change frequently. She is desperate to have a boyfriend, but is typically not very successful in her attempts.
Okay, let's review the plan! First, we'll bump into each other at the corner, and then I'll drop the papers I'm holding. It's a perfect plan! Alright, let's do this!
On to the next plan! I'll use this handkerchief! First, I''ll drop this by his feet. And when he notices...
Mera comes from an extremely poor family and has to work multiple after school jobs to buy food. Even then, she seems to always be starving, which leads to her coming across as insane often.
Saiki, I didn't notice you were here! Thank you for always spending so much here.
(Insane hungry voice) If you're going to throw it out anyway, please let me have it!
Hairo is an over-enthusiastic guy obsessed with physical activity. Because of his motivation, a lot of people are inspired by him, but he often goes too far with his enthusiasm.
Stop complaining! Let's give it all we've got! So what if it's childish? Let's relive the days of our youth!
Alright, I'll do my best too! I will hop to the teacher's room!
Kuniharu is Kusuo's father. He is kind of a dork, but he usually means well. He and Kusuo's mother act like they are still a young couple.
Oh, you're back, Kusuo! What took you so long? I was wondering if you could open the door for me. I couldn't get in.
I'm so sorry, honey! No, I shouldn't have lost my temper and broke every window in the house!
Kurumi is Kusuo's mother. She is mostly a kind woman, but if someone tries to hurt her family, she basically turns into a demon.
This is all because I ate your coffee jelly!
Ku, your powers aren't meant to be wasted on something like that. You should use them to help people in need, or to reward people who are nice!
I need someone who can remove the original voice audio, add the new audio from the voice actors, and keep the soundtrack in the background. I don't know much about audio editing, but as long as you can do those things, you should be good to go.
Say something you think would fit
This will mostly consist of editing the lip sync to match the new voice acting, plus any other minor edits to clips that might come up, such as putting an English translation of Japanese words that appear on screen (you don't have to translate it, you will just need to put the translation on the screen).
Say something you think would fit
Takahashi is a boy with an annoyingly raspy voice. He is obnoxious for the most part, and doesn't serve much purpose other than to annoy people.
What do you mean, mouth to mouth?! Are you stupid?!
I was just pretending, you idiot! What's wrong with you?!
Matsuzaki is one of the main teachers at PK Academy. He acts like a tough guy, but he actually cares about his students and is a very respectable man.
Is this true Nendo? Wait, Saiki, what are you doing here? Was he in on it too?
I waited here just to tell you that. At first, I thought it was a prank, but on the slim chance that it was real, I couldn't just ignore it.
Chono is a failing magician when Saiki first meets him, but his act changes and improves throughout the series. The sample lines are taken from his first appearance.
Here, we have a perfectly ordinary box. There's nothing inside, of course. But! If I do this... It's party time, amazing!
Next up is today's main event! Superlatively amazing super illusion time! My assistant Michael will now teleport from one box to another.
Michael, or Mr Ike as he is sometimes referred to, is Chono's assistant. He starts as a clueless homeless man, but later transforms completely.
It's not my fault. You opened it too early, kiddo. Come on, where's my 500 yen?
