Hi, I’m Nick! I run a YouTube channel where I do fandubs, covers, and all that good stuff. In July of 2020, I started a little mini-series on my channel dubbing the interactions between Inigo and all of his possible fathers. At the time, I did both the voice of Inigo and his possible fathers, but now I wish to expand the project to more than just me!
This will not be a super intense project, as each father and Olivia will only be included in one video. While I am not opposed to continuing the series to other Future Past child-parent interactions, I would like to rotate out the fathers' voice actor with each new series. As for Inigo, I will be voicing him, leaving every other role up for grabs!
Since this is a fan project, this will be unpaid. This is also a fandub, so stay away if you’re not into that.
Requirements
You must have a good mic with minimal background noise. XLRs are recommended, but not required, USBs are allowed. ABSOLUTELY NO PHONES!
You may audition for as many roles as you’d like, but I’ll only cast you as one role.
You may do a maximum of three takes per line, please do not go over this amount.
Don’t slate at the start of your auditions. Do not say your name or who you’ll be auditioning for.
Record in mono and save in mp3 (smaller files and all that).
Put your email and/or Discord your audition description.
Keep in mind that I am not necessarily looking for an impression. I am more likely to cast a new take on a character than an impression of their original VA.
The deadline to audition is Tuesday, March 30th at 9 PM EST!
Inigo's mother and dancer of the Shepherds. While she is usually meek and shy, her interactions with her son shed a light on her more determined side. While her voice should still be soft and shy sounding, there should also be a feeling of determination in it as well.
(remorseful) I'm not the Olivia you know. I've come from another world. Look at you. You've been through hell... And all this time you've held strong... I should have been there for you! I'm so sorry, Inigo... Please forgive me…
(emotional) Because the me from this world... She shouldn't have left you alone! What kind of mother am I to abandon my son like that?
(sad, into determined) Huh? Inigo, wait! ...Heh. He's really got his heart set on doing this alone. I know, son. You're scared of losing me again. But don't push me away. You might find out that I'm stronger than you remember too. No harm will befall you while your mother is here—I swear it!
Tactician for the Shepherds and possible father to Inigo. While he can come across as pragmatic at certain points, he is very proud of his son and all that he has accomplished. His voice should naturally go into a medium-range, almost monotone area, but also be able to convey how proud he is of Inigo.
(matter-of-fact) I'm sorry to get your hopes up. Still, even if I'm not the father you knew, I intend to keep you safe.
(surprised, proud of his son) I just expected you to be all doom and gloom. And yet here you are pondering strategy. You ARE full of surprises. That's my son!
(reassuring) I will, Inigo. I'm your new strategy. Now let's take out those Risen and make it a winning one. Agreed?
Leader of the Shepherds and possible father to Inigo. Chrom's interactions with his son are primarily rooted in him attempting to dispel the legend of Chrom being perfect in Inigo's mind. He has mid to low-mid vocal range and is very blunt in his delivery.
(explaining the current situation) I know what you're thinking, Inigo. But I'm not truly your father—at least not in this world. By Naga's power, I've been sent here temporarily from a world of my own.
(reassuring, motivational) You're wrong. You did what you did because you thought it would keep everyone safe! You believed that you could save them all and acted accordingly. Ylisse is lucky to have a prince like you. And any who disagrees can answer to me.
(fatherly) The Chrom in this world may have died before you and he could speak. But I know he would say the same thing. And another thing—you give me too much credit. Put in the same situation as you back there, I may not have acted in time. You can be greater than your father—greater than I. And that's why I intend to do everything in my power to keep you safe.
Frederick is Chrom and Lissa's sworn protector and a possible father of Inigo. As a father, he is very good at inspiring his son to continue forward, even if the situation looks dire. His voice should be lower in range and have a stern yet kind quality.
(matter-of-fact) No. Not your real father. I hail from another world entirely.
(congratulatory, proud of his son) You made a brave and wise choice back there, Inigo. That you put your friends' lives above your own proves you have a knight's heart. It takes fortitude to become your country's fist and your comrades' shield.
(inspiring) Let the old wounds close, Inigo. Fight, and I know you will prevail. Your liege, Princess Lucina, needs you. Will you fail her? Now let us break these poor excuses for Risen and return home to Ylisse!
Virion is the duke of Rosanne in Valm, an ally to the Shepherds, and a possible father of Inigo. He still keeps his witty and prideful ways even as a father but has a much more pronounced gentle side to him. His voice should robust and full of wit, as well as a low-mid to low voice with a European accent (preferably French or British).
(boastful) Anything is possible for Virion, Fatherest of Fathers. My son, I have come from another world to rescue you.
(worried for his son's wellbeing) You could have gotten yourself killed. I can imagine no greater pain than outliving my own child. If I had been forced to watch you die... Ugh. Let us just say it would have taken a few years off my life. Never give your father such a scare, Inigo! It is far too cruel!
(gentle) Well...everything will be all right. You will see. Look at you, poor thing... You are shaking.
Vaike is a member of the Shepherds and a possible father of Inigo. Vaike is still just as jokey as ever, but he is also a very open-minded and supportive parent. He should have a medium to medium-low voice with a very "lame dad" kind of vibe.
(jokey) It can! It is! The Vaike is back from the dead to save his son's bacon!
(explanatory, while still being jokey) I came from another world. I'm not your dead father. See? No rottin' flesh hangin' off me. No creepy glowin' eyes. ...Right?
(comforting) Hey... There, there, Inigo. The whole "back from the dead" thing was just a bit of Vaike humor. That would never happen to your real dad. Ain't gonna happen to you or me, either, if ya let me watch your back.
Stahl is a member of the Shepherds and a possible father of Inigo. Stahl is very genuine with Inigo and it should shine through with his performance. His voice should be medium to medium-high in range and should sound calm and inviting.
(matter-of-fact into supportive) You're not seeing things. But I'm also not the Stahl you know. I came from another world to lend you a hand. I may not be your father, but you're still my son...if that makes any sense. Here, I'll watch your back.
(confused, worried) Stop that, Inigo! You don't need to play the tough guy! I'm fine! I can take care of myself.
(genuine, relatable) I know exactly what you mean. Sometimes I feel like it's my job to take hits for the team. They tell me I'm too nice for my own good.
Kellam is a member of the Shepherds and a possible father to Inigo. While he may not appear visible to anyone else, he is seen almost immediately by Inigo. His voice should have a medium range with a hint of unsureness in his tone.
(matter-of-fact) I'm not your real father, strictly speaking. I came here from another world to rescue you. I don't know how long I can stay here, but let me fight with you while I can.
(supportive) Well...if it makes you feel better, I would have done the same as you. There was no other way to defend your comrades from a distance. You had to make a quick decision, and like me, you chose to be their shield.
(remorseful, into determined) Poor Inigo. It can't be easy keeping your friends safe in a world like this... Every decision is a matter of life and death. This time, though, there was no right answer. No matter what you chose to do, it would have cost you your life. I'm here to change that. I know you don't want me to interfere, but...I can't let you meet your end here.
Lon’qu is a swordsman from Regna Ferox and a possible father of Inigo. Lon’qu is definitely the harshest of all Inigo’s fathers, but that does not mean he hates is son, for from it. He should have a stern and steady voice with a low range.
(ominous) ...Finished, you say? If you're that ready to die, I won't bother with any speeches.
(reprimanding) Don't let me ever hear you say you're "finished." If the afterlife sends someone to collect you, you put that messenger in the ground.
(cold, attempting to be inspiring) The Lon'qu of this world is dead. His sword has been silenced, never to speak again... No prayers will bring him back to fight for this world or protect its people. ...But you can still do what he couldn't. Because you...are still alive. Don't you...don't you see...?
Ricken is a member of Shepherds and a possible father of Inigo. Ricken is younger than most of the cast so his interactions with his future son are more awkward and emotional than the rest of the possible fathers. He should have a high to medium-high range voice and sound like a teenager.
(slightly awkward) Ah, I guess you wouldn't recognize me... Umm... It's me, Ricken. Your father? I came here from another world. Oh! Here, look. This ring should prove it. It's the same one Olivia gave you, right?
(emotional) Why am I crying? *sniff* J-just look at you! You're a mess! You're bleeding and tired, and you pretend like nothing's wrong!
(pleading) I came all this way to save you, but I didn't realize how bad it was. You have to let me keep you safe. The other me couldn't, so let me. Please!
Gaius is a thief from Ylisse and a possible father of Inigo. He has a very calm demeanor, but is still very protective of his son. He should have a smooth and silk tone with a medium-low to low range.
(relaxed) Nah, I'm not your real father, kid. I came from another world.
(protective) Look, I think it's pretty sweet that you put your friends first. But as your father, I want you to put YOU first. I didn't cross between worlds just to get a front-row seat at your "last stand."
(determined) Hey. That candy was supposed to make you STOP crying. Yeesh... Well, may as well let it all out. 'Cause once you're done, we're gonna litter the valley with these Risen. No one's gonna touch MY son.
Gregor is a mercenary and possible father of Inigo. He is a tough sellsword, but holds a soft spot in his heart for his family and son. He has a medium-low to low range voice with a seasoned voice and a thick Eastern European accent (preferably Russian, but you can play around with it) that speaks broken English.
(matter-of-fact) Dead? Yes, is sad but true. However, this Gregor not quite same as your father Gregor. THIS Gregor is very special Gregor come to visit you from other world!
(surprised) Really? Gregor thought your stance and swing look familiar, but...hmm. Shouldn't you learn more than cobbled-together technique of old hired sword?
(sentimental, into battle ready) *Sniff* Is...is nothing. Perhaps Gregor growing a little soft with old age... But enough blubbering! Is time for Gregor to live up to overblown reputation. Stay close, my son! Your father has come to rescue you! Together we will fight our way through ugly quagmire, yes? Gregor has your back!
Libra is a priest of Ylisse and a possible father of Inigo. Libra is a very kind and gentle man, and that extends to his interactions with Inigo. He should have a calm and soothing voice with a medium to medium-high range. I am also opening this up to female voice actors, so everyone may audition for Libra!
(thankful) Inigo, is that you? Praise the gods for keeping you safe.
(matter-of-fact) Listen to me. It's true I am your father, but...not in this world. I came here to help you.
(gentle) Heh. You worry just like your mother. Don't worry. I would never do anything to bring you grief.
Henry is a dark mage from Plegia and a possible father of Inigo. Henry is still just as silly and deranged as a father, but he is also very genuine and his son. His voice should capture that slightly crazy nature but also have a genuine side to it as well. His voice should also be high to medium-high range.
(Silly, into congratulatory) I know the Henry in this world died a long time ago. But see, I'm not him! I came from ANOTHER world to rescue you. I'm amazed you've managed to hold all these guys off. It must've been tough!
(comforting) I can tell your laughter isn't genuine, and that makes me sad. If you need to cry, cry. If you're having a rough time, say so. You don't need to pretend in front of your own father.
(Encouraging) Half of Olivia and half of me still live on inside you. We'll always be close, as long as you take care of yourself and stay alive. The only way we'll REALLY be lost is it YOU die. Now, I really don't want to see you OR the other version of me croak. So let me protect you. Let me fight by your side. All right, Inigo?
Donnel is a member of the Shepherds and a possible father of Inigo. Donnel is a very kind father but can stern when he needs to be. He should have a very excitable and young voice with a high to medium-high range and a Southern accent.
(proud, into worried) That must be the Inigo of this world. That's my boy—look at him go! But I'll probably scare the tar out of him if I just march up and say hi... And that's if he even recognizes me... I reckon I look younger than he does!
(surprised) Inigo?! How'd ya know I'm your pa?
(remorseful, into determined) Sorry me and Olivia left ya here by your lonesome. It's our fault you been blaming yerself this whole time... But everything's gonna get better now. I can promise ya that. I'm gonna protect ya so ya can bring peace to this world. Then ya won't ever have to be sad again—not you or nobody!
