Hello, everyone. I am Lyra Phoenix, an aspiring actress, voice actress, and singer. Also, I’m the director of this project! This idea was born out of my love for voice acting and the Legend of Zelda series, and I’m planning to dub the whole manga collection in the long run!
Before you audition, please make sure you read and understand the following points:
- 1. This is an unpaid project. Still, that doesn’t mean the quality will be mediocre. In fact, I intend to make it as good as possible, putting a lot of love and effort into it, as I hope you will too!
- 2. Please, please, PLEASE have good microphone quality. I understand not everyone has their own recording studio (I certainly don’t), but at least try to use a USB mic, or if you use a phone recorder, try to record underneath a blanket or inside a closet to isolate the background noise as much as possible (though I’d much rather you opt for using a usb mic instead).
- 3. You MUST have a Discord account. That way, we can all discuss further in the project, share files, manage your lines, etc.
- 4. It would be much better if you had a Google Drive account as well. This is due to the fact that, more often than not, some files are too large to be sent via Discord, so it’s easier to share them via Google Drive instead.
- 5. Please show emotion when auditioning, unless asked to do the opposite. If you feel like you need advice, I could give you some tips, though know that I am in no way a professional, and my tips may likely not work for everyone.
- 6. I will leave a link for you to read the manga on Google Drive so you don’t have to visit any shady websites. I’ve arranged it by chapters and made it available offline, so you should be able to read it whenever you like! This should help you visualize each scene better and hopefully help you deliver your lines in a more fitting way! While this is not the official English translation, most of it works quite well! Some characters kept their Japanese names though, but since these are auditions, don’t worry too much about the character names.

*Some minor characters such as a couple villagers or children will be voiced by other people in the cast.
*Note: I would recommend you audition for as many characters as you can, since this will give you a higher chance of being cast, plus it will also help me get more familiarized with your voice. Who knows? Perhaps your voice would be fitting for another character you hadn’t auditioned for yet! This, of course, only if you’re comfortable with.
I would also HIGHLY recommend you read the entire manga first, if you haven’t done so already! It’s actually very quick and easy to read (even though it’s different from American comics, considering manga is read from left to right), but it really is quite simple and will give you an overall general vision of the characters!
Remember, every character is a vital piece to this project! The characters, no matter how big or small they are, are what fill masterpieces like this with life!
Make sure to take this as an opportunity to grow, meet new people, explore, and most importantly, have fun!
