The Rise of Scourge II YOUTUBE COMIC DUB II

Project Overview

Howdy howdy hey! 

I'm PixelizedSunset, and I'm here to introduce a fandub of The Rise of Scourge: a manga book from the Warriors franchise that details the backstory of one of the series' most infamous antagonists, Scourge the alley cat. Written by Erin Hunter and read by the voracious reader that was me as a youngster, this series holds a special place in my heart; I hope to do it justice with this comic dub.

I plan to release this dub in short "chapters" on my YouTube channel. No money will be made off this project-- as I work on my main animated series, Delivery!, I thought it would be nice to start a comic dub just as a bit of fun. ^^ The team will be small, as I plan for the meat of the editing work to fall onto my shoulders-- the panels will be slightly moved to indicate motion and sound effects will be applied. 

Again, this project is really just meant to be fun. A way for me to hone my editing skills and direct a fanmade comic dub; a way for y'all to voice battle cats in a video format. No strict deadlines will be enforced. Just the pure, mindless fun of creating something! :D

I do not plan for this project to take long-- the scripts are being written as I wait for the casting call to close.


When recording, please....

  1. Ensure that there is no background noise. I can filter out a good portion of it, but it makes my job a heckuva lot easier if there's nothing to edit out.

  2. Make sure your mic is of good quality. No need to have a home studio! ^^ I'd just prefer if lines were recorded with a headset or a proper mic to reduce editing time; again, see tip #1.

  3. Provide multiple takes of each line. Less of a preference and more of a tip; these auditions will be done quickly, so I understand if you're lacking the time to produce a couple of takes. Two or three is fine, but at the end of the day, whatever's your best is your best! :D

  4. Have Discord. I will be communicating with the cast via Discord. Please don't force me to use the CCC messaging system. It scares me man

  5. Have fun! Be a fair sport to everyone in the comments-- I look forward to hearing your auditions! ^^


Thank you for taking interest in this comic dub project! If you have any questions or just want to chat, feel free to reach me at PixelizedSunset#4492. Have a swell day!

Scourge ("Tiny")
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to: Lucy Miles

A former housecat who rose to power in the city as a stray. Tormented by his siblings in his youth, Scourge-- originally named "Tiny" in reference to his abnormal size-- sought to prove his strength and bravery to a world that judged him for his frail physique. Albeit a fair cat, Scourge is quick to vengeance and even quicker to manipulate; as he realizes the ways of street life, he loses the innocence of his youth and hardens into a cold, cutthroat leader in the sheer name of survival. 

As the main character and narrator of The Rise of Scourge, be prepared to record a great deal of lines across the span of this project. Any voice actors auditioning for this role must be able to provide both an adult and child rendition of his voice comfortably; the majority of this comic happens during Scourge's youth, and I would prefer to have one person voice him throughout the project. Please don't strain your voice attempting to make him seem younger, though! Drink plenty of water! Woo, health!

Any accent is acceptable for this role.

  • (Child; DETERMINED) "I'll show them. I'll wait until they're taking a nap... and then I'll show them who's big and strong!"

  • (Adult; RUTHLESSLY/COLDLY) "If they won't give me the proper respect, then I'll take it by force."

  • Please provide samples of fighting sound effects-- grunts, snarls, gasps, etc.

    (I forgot to add this as a line-- my dearest apologies! If you auditioned with the prior line, it will not be held against you and your audition will be just as valid.)

Ruby

Unpaid
cast offsite

Scourge's sister-- and tormentor. As a kitten, Ruby would do her best to make Scourge feel like a nuisance; one of her cruel jokes is what drove Scourge to run away from home. As an adult, she finds herself at his mercy when her housefolk abandon her.

The majority of this character's lines are read during her childhood; when auditioning, please make sure that you can comfortably provide both a child and adult rendition of her voice. Albeit a supporting character, her lines beyond the opening handful of scenes are sparse.

  • (Child; PROTESTINGLY) "But Mama, he's too weak, and he mewls too much! It's no fun to play with him."

  • (Child; TAUNTINGLY/DEVIOUSLY) "Y'know what happens to unwanted kittens? They get thrown in the river."

  • (Adult; PLEADINGLY) "But... But Scourge! We're your littermates! Doesn't blood mean anything?"

Socks
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to: Coyba

Socks, like Ruby, is both a sibling and terror to Scourge. Preferring to play with his sister, this cat constantly belittled Scourge throughout his kithood; when he is abandoned by his housefolk as an adult, his fate is left in the paws of Scourge himself.

Socks does not have many lines, particularly as an adult; although his character holds significance in the story, there is little to record on his behalf. His voice actor must be able to produce both a child and adult rendition of his voice comfortably, but the audition will be judged mostly concerning how his younger voice sounds.

  • (Child; TAUNTINGLY) *CHUCKLE* "Can't catch us!"

  • (Child; REBELLIOUSLY) "But mom, he's such a little pipsqueak!"

  • (Adult; WITH RESIGNED DESPERATION; PLEADINGLY) "We don't know how to get our own food. Will you help us? Please?"

Quince
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to: Joy

Scourge's saving grace. The loving mother to Socks, Ruby, and Scourge, Quince is often the only character that stands in the way of Scourge's childhood torment; protective and sweet, she does her best to ensure all of her kits are given proper affection.

All of Quince's lines are at the beginning of the story; if her voice actor wishes to voice extras when she is no longer an active character, they are encouraged to do so. Her voice should sound somewhat middle-aged and inherently kind.

  • (SCOLDINGLY) "You shouldn't play so roughly with your brother! You know better than that."

  • (CALLINGLY/ WITH CONCERN) "Tiny! Tiny, come here!"

  • (GENTLY/ MOTHERLY) "No, Tiny. Forest cats have fleas. You're safer here."

Tigerpaw ("Tigerstar")
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to: Olivolk

A massive tabby tom with a thirst for power and penchant for cruelty. Ambitious and proud, Tigerpaw-- later Tigerstar-- is responsible for mauling Scourge in the forest as a kitten; The Rise of Scourge details Scourge's pursuit of vengeance against Tigerpaw.

Tigerpaw should have a particularly deep voice; even as a teenager, he should sound booming and commanding of attention. He will not have many lines throughout this project, but his significance as a character is undoubtable. He is a villain; he is conniving; he is Tigerpaw, and he will not stop until the world knows it.

  • (Teenage; GROWLED) "I think the kittypet should be taught a lesson. One he'll remember."

  • (Adult; AUTHORITATIVELY) "I am Tigerstar, the leader of Shadowclan. And I have a proposition for you."

  • Please provide some examples of fighting sound effects-- grunts, snarls, etc.

Bluefur
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to: Meowno

One of the warriors Scourge first encounters in the forest. Levelheaded and cool, Bluefur was the only thing that stood between Tigerpaw killing Scourge in cold blood.

Bluefur has about five lines in this entire project. After her character is inactive, her voice actor will be allowed to voice extra characters if willing.

  • (CALMINGLY) "Thistleclaw, he's only a kit. It's not as if he poses a threat to us."

  • (WITH SUBTLE ALARM/ CONCERN) "Now, hold on. There's no need for this--"

  • (SCOLDINGLY) "Stop, Tigerpaw! That's enough!"

Thistleclaw
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to: Sadbrows

One of the warriors Scourge first encounters in the forest. Ruthless and dyingly loyal to Thunderclan, he encouraged Tigerpaw to beat up Scourge over a mere border mishap.

These are the nearly all of the lines Thistleclaw has in this entire project. After completing the sparse remaining voice lines, you will not have to provide any more unless you would like to step in as a voice for extras.

  • (DEMANDINGLY/ FIERCELY) "What are you doing here? This is Thunderclan territory!"

  • (SCOFFED) "An intruder's an intruder, Bluefur. You're only saying that because he's a kittypet; you've always been too soft on them."

  • (AUTHORITATIVELY/ COLDLY) "So be it, then."

Bone
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to: Sadbrows

A street cat that discovers Scourge and helps bring him to power. Skeptical, cynical, and blunt, Bone is a ragged stray with little compassion; toughened by life, he pushes Scourge to chase off a dog for him.

Bone should speak slowly in an almost worn-out sense; as an alley cat, he has lived a life bare of comfort. 

  • (BLUNTLY/ COLDLY) "My name is Bone, and this is Brick. We want to speak with you."

  • (BLUNTLY) "We've tried to chase it away, but it's too big. Too strong."

  • (SKEPTICALLY) "Maybe he was lying this whole time. Maybe he's never fought anything before."

Brick

Unpaid
Role assigned to: Olivolk

A fierce stray and friend of Bone. Brick helps Scourge rise to power by goading him into brawling a dog.

Brick does not have many lines nor much definition of his character; unique takes on his voice are encouraged.

  • (IRRITATEDLY) "A big dog's made its den back there."

  • (THREATENINGLY) "If you decide not to fight, it would be best for you to leave this place. For good."

  • (BLUNTLY) "Will you fight the dog for us?"

Extras

Unpaid

The extra characters in The Rise of Scourge. Be it a child, a stray, a foe of Scourge, or a friend of Scourge, the opportunities are limitless for the unnamed characters of this world.

Multiple people will be cast for this role as a great deal of lines in The Rise of Scourge are delivered by unnamed characters. Feel free to audition with a demo reel; the key to this role is range.

  • (Human child; JOYFULLY) "Oh, they're just so cute!"

  • (Older cat; WARNINGLY) "Just make sure you don't go in the forest, sonny."

  • (Alley cat; DESPERATELY/ RESPECTFULLY) "Well, sir, you see, he didn't have no call to take that rat... It was my rat, y'see, sir, and it just didn't seem right nohow..."
