This is the second in a long line of manga dubs, for the Zelda manga made by Akira Himekawa! All of you will be expected to put in your utmost effort and to make sure you read this project's descriptions and roles carefully! It is also worth noting that roles will be in order of appearance except Link, mention of human is changed to Hylian, and poor mic quality, and auditioning for a role that shows strain, will be immediately dismissed, so make sure to look through your recordings before submission! I will also provide the link to the video of my previous Zelda project, The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword Prequel! I will also post the link to the website with the full manga we're using, so give that a read for better understanding if you wish https://mangadex.org/title/9465fdb7-d903-4e42-af12-edac150baf2e/the-legend-of-zelda-the-minish-cap! This Casting Call will be for the first half of the manga, and I will make a second half after the first 3 chapters are done! I am excited to see old and new faces appear, and provide entertainment to the Zelda community!
Hello Everyone! If you don't already know, Chapter 1 has been fully released, with Chapters 2 + 3 being worked! I have released the Casting Call for the new characters to appear in the rest of the manga, so feel free to check it out and audition!
To all of those who auditioned thank you! I will begin sending out the panels that contain your lines for Chapter 1 soon! If you were shortlisted, that means you have the potential to still be in future projects based on your overall quality and potential! I will also be sending the correct pronunciation of Hylian and Picori, to make sure there is no confusion!
Link is the main protagonist of the Minish Cap. He is portrayed as a boy learning the art of swordsmanship under a sword guru, the Tesshin Dojo. He is bright, but somewhat impatient at first. His voice is of course childlike, with a bit of roughness to it. Also it's pronounced (Pi-Corey)
(Sorry) I... I was just kidding! Just kidding! I've been looking forward to it, too! So, don't cry anymore, okay? Now let's hurry and GO!
(Confidence) I'll go! Please let me go, your highness!
(Searching) Is this the Chirolia Forest..? The Picori should be around here somewhere...
A self-explanatory role, gentleness, and softness are strongly encouraged. Also, it's pronounced (Hi-Lee-an) and (Pi-Corey)
Do you know about the Picori? The Picori are tiny, tiny creatures about the size of your thumb that live all over our world.
Hylians don't notice them… But without us knowing it, they are always lending us their power.
If you're wondering why …It's because the Picori love hylians.
Smith is Link's grandfather. He created the Smith's Sword for the winner of the Sword Fighting Tournament at the Picori Festival. He was once a great swordsman and now is a renowned blacksmith. He is old, so rough and coarse would be good. Also it's pronounced (Pi-Corey)
(Positive) Hm. It's a good sword. I'll bet the Picori helped us out with this one.
(Curious) Just who IS that boy?
(Explanation) That is the holy sword that was bestowed upon the hero by the Picori.
Master Tesshin is a Martial artist and swordfighter, and also Link's teacher. I'd say a similar voice to that or Kiyotaka Ishimaru from Danganropna. Also it's pronounced (Pi-Corey)
(Announcing) Tomorrow is the Picori Festival's martial arts tournament. Those participating, fight hard to ensure you don't disgrace the name of the Tesshin Dojo!
(Dismissing) Link, you'll be an observer.
(Ordering) ABSOLUTELY NOT!!! The way of the sword is a strict one! It's still too soon for you!!
*Say something you think would fit*
Zelda is the young, bouncy princess of Hyrule. She is somewhat naīve and ditsy, possibly due to her being portrayed as a young girl. When the Picori Festival comes, she wants nothing more than to have Link accompany her. Like any princess, her voice is soft and cute. Also it's pronounced (Pi-Corey)
(Shock) Goodness! What happened HERE?!
(Childish Sobbing) Why are you saying such mean things? And here I was looking forward to going to the festival with you, Link...
(Explaining) The Picori really exist. My father told me so. He said that the door to the Picori world opens once every hundred years. And this year is that 100th year!
This will be 2 children, a girl, and a boy. The one shortlisted for this will voice the other child. If auditing for one gender, only read the line associated with one of the children.
(Boy) Well, well! It's Princess Zelda! Link you're always on SUCH good terms with the princess, aren't ya?
(Girl) That heart- shaped jewel would be great, Princess! It's so cute! It would look great on you!
(Either) Awesome, Princess!
(Announcing) WINNER!!
We have a winner~!! Now then, pick out something you like!
Really-? Well, if that's what you really want, Princess...
Minister to the Hyrulean Royal Family, I could see him sounding funny
(Announcing) Winner Vaati, please step forward!
(Worried) Your highness! Is there no way to turn the princess back to normal?!
(Commanding) Then, let's dispatch the armies!
The King of Hyrule of course, you may try to go of King Rhoam from BOTW or try something you think would fit. Also it's pronounced (Pi-Corey)
(Presenting) Vaati, your championship will go down in the history of this glorious festival. Please accept this sword.
(Despair) Zelda!! Oh, why did this have to happen?
(Requesting) Link, you are Zelda's childhood friend, so of course I can entrust this to you. Very well. Take this broken sword and show it to the Picori in Chirolia Forest...and ask them to re-forge it.
The strange, bird-beaked hat that Link finds while searching for the Picori (Hylian term for the Minish). He accompanies Link on his journey to save the princess. DO NOT TRY TO SOUND LIKE A BIRD! His voice is more elderly and wise, kind of like Leviathan from Skullgirls. Also it's pronounced (Pi-Corey)
(Struggling) Hey, kid!!! You, over there!!! This is no time to space out! Hurry and help me!!
(Convincing) If you take me along with you, I'll tell you about the Picori.
(Explaining) Listen up, kid. The world of the Picori is very small. As you are now, you'd never find it, even if you looked for a hundred years.
For the introduction of the Picori, they speak a different language than us, then later English, this role will be given to the top 3 people who are eligible. They're kind of like elves. Also, it's pronounced (Hi-Lee-an)
(Surprised) Da ngenni! Datonho!
(Astounded) Wow, it's a hylian! It really is a hylian!
(Excited) Just like the Elder said! What cool clothes! And cool boots! You can understand us?
Festa is the only Forest Picori who speaks Human languages. His voice is nasally and similar to that of Jaco from Dragon Ball Super. Also, it's pronounced (Hi-Lee-an) and (Pi-Corey)
(Approaching) Those clothes...you are a hylian, are you not?
(Explaining) This is the Perara Fruit. If you eat it, you can speak the Picori language.
(Annoyed) The forest Picori are so old fashioned.
Jenta is the wise elder of Forest Picori, who explains what Link must do to succeed in his quest: reforge the Picori Blade and infuse within it the Four Elements scattered and hidden across Hyrule. Is voice is of course elderly.
(Greeting) I am Jenta, the Elder of this forest. Please make yourself at home.
(explaining) I... see. However, in order to make a new holy sword, we need the four elements.
(Explaining) All over Hyrule... Getting them in order will not be easy...
A little mountain Picori that Link saved! Like most mountain picori, his voice will sound a little nasally than the forest Picori.
(Discouraged) Master has... quit being a blacksmith.
(Hopeful) I want the Master to have his life back.
(Explaining) It's been a long time since anyone's come in here And rumor has it that it's a breeding ground for monsters.
The Mountain Picori are a group of seven that followed Melari to Gongur Mountain. They now live in Melari's Mine, where they hunt for Kinstone Pieces and other ores and minerals by digging into the walls. They're more nasally than the forest Picori and the top 3 will be chosen to voice them. The only requirement currently is to sing a catchy tune!
(Singing) We diligently dig for iron-! Yattoko! Yattoko! Yattoko! Yattoko! Oh, dig! Dig now! Hurry and dig!
Master Melta has stopped working as a blacksmith due to the death of his wife, a Forest Picori who had died from the stress of intervening in a dispute between the Forest Picori and Mountain Picori. His voice is grumpy and old.
(Depressed) Sorry. I don't make swords anymore.
(Depressed) I've already left everything to my pupils. I've already put down my hammer and reputation. Ha ha ha. Give up and go home already.
(Depressed) Listen, kid. We don't have any charcoal here to make swords WITH. So, there's no use. If you under-stand, then get outta here.
