The Fandub of Sakurasou Episode 1

The Fandub of Sakurasou Episode 1

Project Overview

Hello everyone! This casting call is for a fandub of the first episode of
Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo, also known as The Pet Girl of Sakurasou. However,
my plan at this point is to do the whole series.  If you can’t commit to this project long term,
please don’t audition. Also, I will be contacting you guys through Discord, so if you're cast you will need a Discord account. Note that I will be voicing Sorata Kanda, the main
character, for this fandub.

-Premise-

The Pet Girl of Sakurasou revolves around Sorata Kanda, an average high-school student stuck living in the Sakurasou dorm, all because he kept a stray cat. Sakurasou is where Sorata's school, Suimei Academy, throws all of its trouble makers/abnormal students. It is at Sakurasou that he meets Mashiro Shiina, a girl without common sense that he is roped into taking care of. The series is a romantic comedy/drama that focuses on the lives of the students living at Sakurasou.

This will be the first fandub I have directed so try and be courteous and I will show you that same respect. The finished project will be uploaded to YouTube if possible, but I'm skeptical about copyright problems. If those prove to be an issue, I will upload a placeholder video with a link to Google drive in the description.

Edit: I feel I should add this. For writing and editing, I am not requiring you to have a list of projects or a link to your work or anything like that if you don't have examples. However, if you do have examples and wish to share them, then don't hesitate to link them in a comment, or if you would rather, send me a private message with the link or a Discord account name and we can discuss it over there. I will stress that if you audition for Editor, you will need more than a passing familiarity with Sony Vegas, Adobe Premiere, or another form of advanced editing software.

 

*Some things to note before auditioning*

1. Good to great microphone quality. No background noise,
headset or laptop microphones please.

2. Show emotion when you audition. I want this fandub to
sound as professional as possible.

3. You can audition for as many characters as you like, but
keep in mind you will only be cast for one role.

4. You do not have to be familiar with the show's premise or characters to audition (it does help), but you WILL have to watch this show in order to match dialogue to lip flaps.

5. There will be references /links to videos for some
characters regarding what kind of take I’m looking for. However, that does not
mean I want you to imitate the person in the video I link unless I specifically
state I want something similar. By and large, I want to hear your voice!

6. Please try to meet deadlines when I give them. However, I am flexible and more than willing to work with everyone if delays are necessary.

7. I am also looking for help with editing and script
writing. While the first episode is almost complete from an editing and
scripting standpoint, I would like help for future episodes. Please note, that
auditioning for editor or writer DOES NOT prohibit you from auditioning for characters
as well.

8. Most importantly, have fun! Just because I want this done
well, doesn't mean you can’t have fun doing it!

    Hello everyone! First of all, I just want to say thank you to everyone who auditioned.

While I have heard everybody's auditions at least once already, I will be going through every audition again to ensure fairness. Thanks again for auditioning everyone! Regards, SeannyBravo

Mashiro Shiina

Role assigned to: Mina

Mashiro is the female protagonist of the show and the primary love interest of the male protagonist, Sorata Kanda. She's a brilliant artist but she's also completely reliant on others, namely Sorata to even get dressed in the morning as she lacks common sense. She dreams of becoming a manga author some day. She moves in to Sakurasou at the start of the series and is Chihiro's niece.

It's hard for me to describe how Mashiro sounds but if you've seen the anime you'd know. The closest comparable comparison in English would be Shiro's english voice actress, Caitlynn French, from No Game No Life. However, I'd prefer that your pitch be a bit higher than hers. Here's a link below.

  • Hey. What color do you want to be?

  • (tired) The sun will never rise again.

  • Sorata, you're pushy.

Role assigned to: MBTeddyGram

Nanami is one of the main female characters of the show. She goes to Suimei Academy, like those living at Sakurasou but does not live there herself. Her dream is to become a voice actress (I'm sure a lot of people here can relate). She also has a crush on Sorata, the main character.


For Nanami, I'm looking for a medium to high voice that sounds like your average teen girl. A good comparison would be Asuna from Sword Art Online or pretty much any Cherami Leigh role. Here's a reference.

  • So how long are you planning to live there Kanda?

  • Huh? But you know cats aren't allowed in the regular dorms.

  • (embarrassed, talking fast) Well, at any rate, if you really want to escape Sakurasou you gotta get constructive!

Role assigned to: Arkham

Jin is one of three guy students living at Sakurasou. He's a laidback, easygoing guy who is studying at Suimei to be a writer, but he's also a massive playboy with many different romantic partners. He has genuine feelings for Misaki that he makes an effort to hide.


For Jin, I'm thinking a voice that is more on the higher spectrum of deep to the lower spectrum of medium if that makes sense. Kyon from Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, voiced by Crispin Freeman, is a decent comparable, but I'd prefer a bit higher. Here's a link to Kyon's voice.

  • (flirty) I'll call you later baby.

  • (reading a list off his phone) Let's see, tomorrow I have the race queen Suzume. I've got Rumi after she gets off work. Oh, and I'll have her after her honeymoon.

  • (flirty, again) I guess everybody's busy right now. Wanna go again?

Role assigned to: Ffcyndrome

Misaki is, at first, the only female student at the Sakurasou dorm. She is an incredibly talented animator but is almost too energetic for her own good. She has feelings for Jin.


For her voice, I want a medium to high voice that is bursting with as much positivity and energy as you can muster! Get into it! A good reference for voice type would be Rukia from Bleach, voiced by Michelle Ruff. Here's a link.

  • (excited, again) Oh I have an idea! For every round you win, I'll take off some clothes! Yeah!

  • (excited, again again) Hey Kanda! I look amazing when I'm nakeeeeeeed!

Role assigned to: VelCroweVA

Chihiro is the supervisor of the Sakurasou dorm and an art teacher at Suimei. She is desperately looking for a husband and will stoop to almost any means in order to find one. She is considered very unprofessional by her students and her antics are part of the reason she's the supervisor of Sakurasou in the first place.


For here voice, I am looking for something in the medium range that has a sort of sultry feel to it. A good reference for voice type would be Rouge the Bat's voice actress from Sonic Colors onwards, done by Karen Strassman. Here's a link below.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QHLb35CpX34

  • (flirtily) And why not? Entrance ceremonies are just a place to pick up dudes.

  • (condescendingly) Oh, and make sure you're not late.

  • (scoffing manner) Respect? Oh please, I left that stuff back in my old man's balls.

Maid

Role assigned to: Zimm2001

Maid is an artificial intelligence programmed by a Ryuunosuke Akasaka, a Suimei student and Sakurasou member. He is a talented programmer who created Maid to help respond to his many emails. Maid also serves as Ryuunosuke's only form of contact with the outside world. Maid is very protective of Ryuunosuke and will send viruses to anybody who bothers him while working (typically Sorata).


For Maid's voice, I'd like a high voice, and something extremely cutesy and childlike is preferred. Your voice will be edited slightly to sound a little electronic. A good reference for voice type would be Bonnie from the Pokemon X&Y dub, voiced by Alyson Leigh Rosenfeld. Here's a link below. (Bonnie has blonde hair in case your unsure)

  • Subject: Shut Up!

  • He's very busy right now, and if you guys keep bothering him, I'm gonna send Sorata another virus (lol*)! 
    *read "lol" as a word and not each letter one at a time

  • Sincerely, Maid.

Role assigned to: theburningfaith

Daichi is one of Sorata's classmates and friends, but does not live in Sakurasou. He is a pretty unremarkable and average guy, but he does have feelings for Nanami, and that's as much character as you're really getting out of the guy.


For Daichi, just anything in the medium range should do it. A good comparison for voice type would be Edward Elric from FMA, voiced by Vic Mignona. Here's a link.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3aCTJuyKbrI

  • Normal people like you just don’t have what it takes
    to handle living in a loony bin.

  • (sort of sarcastically) Hey nice job man. You got yourself a little harem
    going on.

  • I’m telling you man, you’re cursed!

The Principal of Suimei Academy is not the most kind man, but that's about all there is to say about him. He's not around much, but he appears here and there across the series. I might have work as small extra characters if you get casted here.


For the Principal I'm looking for something deep and gruff. For a voice type reference, Ragna the Bloodedge from BlazBlue: Alter Memory, voiced by Patrick Seitz, would be good. Here's a link.

  • The Suimei Academy of the Arts is divided into the Regular and Arts divisions.

  • Either you get rid of the cat, or you move in to Sakurasou and take it with you! What's it gonna be?!

For editing, I am looking for someone willing to help with primarily two things, the frame by frame edits that are needed to cover Japanese Kanji and replace them with English, and editing and cutting down the soundtrack so it fits in the part of the episode it belongs. In your audition, tell me about any experience you have editing and link to an example in a comment if possible.


  • *Tell me how experienced you are with editing*

  • *Tell me a few things you have edited or assisted with editing*

  • *Post a link to a piece of your editing work*

Script writing will consist of watching each episode with subtitles and trying to write a script that both sounds natural for English speakers, and can match the lip flaps of the characters without too much extra effort. I know watching the episodes subtitled and translating from that isn't the best way to do it, but since I doubt any of you speak fluent Japanese, there aren't many other options. I will have some basic guidelines for how to translate certain things based on how the first episode script is written, as I have nearly finished writing it.


  • *Tell me about any writing experience you have*

  • *Tell me about any projects you have assisted with writing*

  • *Link a project or two in a comment that you have written for*
