Tokyo Babylon (Manga Dub)

Project Overview

Genre: Supernatural, Horror, Drama (TV-14 rating for blood, violence, dark themes)

Tokyo Babylon is the prequel manga to "X/1999". It focuses on the story of Subaru Sumeragi, an onmyouji (spiritual medium), his sister Hokuto, and their friend, Seishirou Sakurazuka.
Set just before the year 1999 in Japan. Subaru battles against evil spirits, sometimes with help from his friend Seishirou. Seishirou, who keeps up the appearance of being a veterinarian, is in truth the Sakurazukamori, an assassin onmyouji who works in the shadows, unbeknownst to Subaru. Near the end of the manga, Seishirou's true identity is revealed to Subaru, with devastating consequences for him and his sister, Hokuto.

Edit: I'll wait until the deadline to cast any part; whether the deadline is extended at that time or not will depend on auditions received. I don't close out casting calls early, so you really will have until Sept. 15 to get your audition in.

Requirements:
- Good microphone quality, with no background noise, echoes or peaking.
- Dedicated actors who can get their lines in on time, or let me know if they'll need more time.
- Render audio to WAV (or high quality MP3)



I look forward to hearing your auditions!

  • Auditions Closed

    Thank you all so much for auditioning! I'm grateful for such a big turnout. There have been so many talented people, and I've enjoyed listening. I've been starting to narrow down the auditions with careful consideration; the roles will be finalized & cast within the next few days. Thanks again, and best of luck with your future endeavours!
  • Final deadline extension Sept. 25

    First off, I want to thank everyone who's auditioned; with so many great ones, I know it will be hard to choose. Secondly, I'm going to need some time to review all of the submissions; I've got irl events going on right now that take up most of my time, so it'll be a week or so before I'm able to start reviewing. Having so many talented people audition, I want to give each audition the proper attention & consideration before choosing. As such I've extended the deadline to give myself extra time; any who still wish to audition last minute are welcome to do so. By Sept. 25 I will have made final decisions on who will be cast. Thank you for your patience. :)

Paid: Flat Rate 70 USD

Voice type: Medium to Low
Originally voiced by Dave Wittenberg (Kakashi's VA), example: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Quw81HpPauAoj5toG31dbgh9R_I5UW_m/view
Voice type is only an ideal. I'm open to other interpretations.

*Note: This character is LGBT, his romantic interest is a man.  (There are no NSFW scenes.)

Speaks calmly most of the time, except when angry or emotional. Several years have passed since his love interest, Seishirou, betrayed him and killed his sister, Hokuto. Subaru is full of anger and sorrow over the event. He continues to work as an onmyouji (spiritual medium), but also spends his days trying to hunt Seishirou down, having sworn to kill him.
(Casting for 25 year old Subaru who shows up in the last chapter of Tokyo Babylon, then continues on into the X/1999 manga.)

About 270 lines total.

  • (quietly/fiercely)  Seishirou... I've been looking for you for a long time. In order to turn my wish into reality.

    (desperately, yelling)  Hokuto! ... Don't do it! HOKUTO!!

  • (calmly)  You can stay here if you want, if that's what makes you happiest. But, if you don't leave this place, then nothing will begin, and nothing will end.

    (calmly at first)  You killed Hokuto, then disappeared from my life. I wanted to kill you, from the bottom of my heart. I tried to erase your existence from my mind. But I...just couldn't. (emotionally)  If you knew about Hokuto's spell, then why? Why?!

  • ((This role requires several Japanese chants. Those auditioning will be judged on how smoothly they can make the chant sound.

**Note: This character abuses/hits her own baby. The main character later stops her, but this may nonetheless be a sensitive topic**
Mentally unstable, she blames herself for her husband leaving her and punishes her child for it. Character is very much detached from reality. Appears only in one chapter.

15 lines total.

  • (calm/detached)  So? I hit myself. I punish myself. What's wrong with that?

  • (emotional/crying)  Why won't you come back to me? I've been repenting all this time! I've been beating myself!

  • (quiet/nearly incoherent mumbling)  I'll show him... I am good enough... I prove it every day, don't I?  Ugh... shut up, shut up, shut up...
