The Legend of Zelda: Sprout of Hope [Comic Dub]

Project Overview

Welcome to the casting call for "The Legend of Zelda: Sprout of Hope." This is a fantastic comic created by zelda-freak91 on Tumblr and I am so excited to have gotten permission to dub it.  A friend and I already released Part 1, which you can find above but now that more characters are entering the story, we're in need of new voices.  Please read below for rules and expectations.


Summary

This is a comic set in the kingdom of Hyrule, post-Breath of the Wild.  While exploring Hyrule, Link and Zelda have an encounter with the Yiga.  Link obtains an unfortunate wound in the battle which, though appearing to be minor at first, soon reveals itself to be something far more deadly.  Meanwhile, the world itself is beginning to show signs of decay.  

While I don't know much more about where it's heading than the rest of the audience, I will say that the start has me hooked and I'm looking forward to getting to voice the rest of it going forward.


Expectations

1)  Takes -- Please give 2-3 takes for each line.  Order does not matter to me.  

2) Sound Quality -- Please only audition if you have a decent mic.  XLR is preferred, but USB may be accepted if the sound quality is good enough.  No background noises, and please do everything possible to reduce the sound of plosives, background noise, and the like.

3) Commitment -- Committed individuals are preferred.  The comic is ongoing and I don't know which characters will be recurring, so it would be incredibly helpful to have actors willing to stick around in case their role resurfaces later on.

4) Deadlines -- Deadlines should be made whenever possible but I completely understand that sometimes life has other plans.  All I ask is that if cast, you keep us posted.  Deadlines will be quick, but can be delayed several times where necessary.  If we have to delay it too long, however, your role may be recast.  Please don't feel bad if this happens.  I understand that this is unpaid work and your life takes priority, so there will be no hard feelings if it does come to that.  It will only be a decision made in the best interest of the project.

5) Communication -- Must be able to communicate via discord or email.  Discord is preferred, but email can be accommodated.  


Have fun, and thank you for auditioning!

Latest Updates

  • Update 6/25/22

    Hey everyone! Huge apologies to everyone who was cast. I understand it's been about a year but upon going back to work last year, things picked up far quicker than anticipated and I found myself swamped with other priorities. However, both my partner and I are now in a place where, while still busy, we have enough time to work on this dub again. If you would still like to participate, please let me know! I will be reaching out to everyone individually if I don't hear back soon, and then after doing that I may re-open the casting call to fill any roles whose actors could not return. Thanks everyone! Apologies for any inconvenience this caused!

Paya
open
Unpaid

Paya is the granddaughter of Impa and a loyal member of the Sheikah tribe.  She's terribly shy and lacks confidence in herself, qualities which certainly surface in the way she speaks.  But her kindness and dedication are her greatest strengths, and should be evident as well.

I imagine her having a light, airy voice. Not so much that she sounds like a young child, but just enough to best express her modest nature.

Currently, these are the only lines spoken by Paya in the comic.  This is subject to change as more parts are released by the artist.

North American and faux-British accents are both welcome.  If you choose to go the British route, try to keep it light.  The accents used in the game itself are not true British, which resulted in a kind of unique accent.  Try to mimic that if you can.

  • G-grandmother, I brought Dorian here, just as you asked.

  • Princess Zelda, M-Master Link!  It's good you're here and safe.  My grandmother wants to see you.

Dorian

Role assigned to: VO Harry

Dorian is a member of the Sheikah tribe, and one of Impa's guards.  He used to be a part of the Yiga Clan, but found love and abandoned his ways.  Unfortunately, this cost choice cost him his wife, and he is now left to care for their two children on his own.  He is vehemently opposed to the Yiga, but his previous relationship with them makes the information he holds quite valuable.

Dorian should have a gruff, relatively deep voice.  He's a conflicted character whose dark past has made him all the more loyal to the light.  I would like a voice that can express this.

  • [In response to Zelda asking if he knows what a substance is.]

    I...I do, yes. It's a very dangerous poison infused with Malice.  The yiga use it to torture and to...urgh...It's outcome is unavoidable.

    ["What outcome?]

    ...Death.

  • Even though I'm still ashamed to have allied with them, I hope my misstep can be of use now.

  • While my wife was infected I went back into the Yiga hideout to find anything to help her and end her misery.  There is only one way to cure it...

Impa

Impa is one of the few surviving individuals from before the Calamity, and knew both Link and Zelda when she was young.  She is now aged well over 100 years, and is a source of guidance and wisdom for her still-young friends.  

Her voice should reveal her age and her wealth of knowledge.  She is one of the few roles listed here that has a voice in Breath of the Wild.  Please try to mimic this as much as possible.

  • So you ran into trouble with the Yiga as well...They are more organized lately and I'm sure it was also their doing at the fountain.

  • Dorian, please join us.  I'm sure you can already guess why I summoned you.

  • Legends say that the very first of its kind bloomed from a fallen tear of the goddess Hylia herself... A tear she shed for her beloved and fallen hero.

Great Fairy Cotera

Unpaid

The Great Fairies are eccentric, extravagant beings with immense power...as long as they have the funds.  However, in the comic Great Fairy Cotera's fountain is discovered to be shut up once again...and withering.  She doesn't yet have any speaking lines, but I would like someone to provide sounds for her as she is trapped inside her fountain.  Please try to mimic her voice as heard in the video below (around 1:05).
