The Sealed Esoteric Abridged (Touhou Abridged) Episode 02 Casting Call
Project Overview
[Goes without saying, but this is 18+. No minors allowed. Thanks.]
Hello! To paraphrase the description of the first episode's casting call, I'm doing an abridged parody of The Sealed Esoteric History, a fanmade anime based on the Touhou Project series. I like the anime, so I wanted to do this for fun!
As I'm posting this casting call, there are currently only three episodes of the anime, and I plan to tackle all of them! I mean yeah I'm doing the editing by myself and I also have a life outside of this but I'm still up for it, even if these take long to come out. The 1st episode came out over a year ago (https://youtu.be/guZyFWM8lw4?si=is5bGSNwiNFDxrzL), and was mainly used as a test to see how far I could push my editing, so I'm hoping to push it a little further with this one.
THINGS TO KNOW:
This thing will NOT be 40+ minutes long I think I would die trying to do that.
This is an abridged series, and as you've noticed all of the characters are female. ALL GENDERS ARE WELCOME TO AUDITION FOR THE FEMALE ROLES! I also think it would be really funny since this is an abridged parody, so go for it!
Decent microphone quality! I'm not one of those guys who requires XLR mics. USB mics are perfectly fine! Hell even I use one; I just want little to no background noise and distortion.
Improv is encouraged! I dunno about you but I love doing improv and providing my own spin on lines, so if you wanna do improv, you can! We're just being silly after all. It's completely up to you though.
Be sure to meet deadlines! I'm usually lenient when it comes to deadlines, as I usually give people a month or two. If you need an extension lemme know sooner rather than later.
If casted, contact will be through either Discord or Email. However, to those using Discord, I WILL NOT BE CREATING A DISCORD SERVER. I know it seems weird, but I'm not the kinda guy to actively run a Discord server, and I have a lot on my plate as is, so communicating with you separately through DMs is much easier for me, personally.
Knowledge of the source material is NOT REQUIRED, just a bonus! You don't need to know what Touhou is or need to watch this anime in order to audition, that wouldn't be fair in my opinion.
Please provide at least 2-3 takes per character! I usually go with the AABBCC format. You can also audition for as many as you want!
And most importantly, have fun!!

[Sah-nai Koh-chee-yah]
The shrine maiden of the Moriya Shrine. She's been in Gensokyo for quite a while, leaving her older sister Yayoi to grow old back in the Outside World.
Sanae is confident, energetic and dutiful, sometimes too much so, and tends to get carried away easily or have trouble thinking for herself. She also appears to be something of a geek, making references to popular culture.
Voice Range: Medium/Medium-high
- Males can audition too
- female young adult
(concerned about Yayoi, since it's been so long) Awww geez, this is all so nerve-wracking! Is big sis doing alright back home? Did she curb her alcohol addiction? Ooooh I just have to know!!
(after being asked about dinner by Suwako) Ah! I’m about to prepare it now, Lady Suwako! You can’t rush perfection!
(hopeful) Big sis, are we gonna go see the Spongebob Musical tomorrow?
[Yah-yoh-ee Koh-chee-yah]
[THIS IS SPECIFICALLY FOR HER YOUNGER VERSION, AS I'M VOICING HER MODERN, OLD SELF.]
An original character made specifically for this anime. Sanae's older sister. She's a sweet girl who was really close with Sanae up until her disappearance. Has a lot of regrets.
Voice Range: Medium
- Males can audition too
- female young adult
(casually, though with a bit of regret) Aww, sorry, pal. Big sis just spent the ticket money on alcohol again. Maybe next time.
(reassuring Sanae) I’ll make the money back easily! I just need a bit more time, okay, goofy goober?
[Kah-nah-koh Yah-sah-kah]
One of the goddesses of the Moriya Shrine.
She has a natural presence that can seem intimidating or suspicious at times, but also reliable. Unusually for a god she has little respect for tradition - she demands little formality in her worship.
Voice Range: Medium-low
- Males can audition too
- female adult
(playful, knowing Sanae still cares about Yayoi) Sanae’s still thinking about her, eh?
(delighted, explaining why having Sanae is a good thing) And you know the best part? We don't have to eat bugs anymore!
[Soo-wah-koh Moh-ree-yah.]
One of the goddesses of the Moriya Shrine.
Suwako typically acts friendly and cheerful but though she feigns ignorance, Suwako is just as capable of scheming as Kanako. In contrast to Kanako, Suwako is more laid back and mischievous.
Voice Range: Medium/Medium-high
- female young adult
- female adult
- Males can audition too
(calling out, a little impatient) Yo! Sanae! Is the food ready yet?! A goddess has gotta eat, y’know!
(curious, Sanae's hiding something) Lemme see! You know I hate secrets!
(reminiscing about Sanae's past with Yayoi) She and her sister used to do so many things together...including watching that show…what was it? Spongeboob?
[Ray-moo Hah-koo-ray]
Super minor role.
The main protagonist of the Touhou Project series. Though here, she's been stuck in a room, relegated to an extra, and she's not happy about it.
Voice Range: Medium
- female young adult
- Males can audition too
- female adult
(thinking to herself) Maaan, why is this room so goddamn COLD?!?!?!? …And vibrant? And colorful…okay where even am I? What was I even upset about? Oh, right. Being shafted. Again. Greeaaaat.
(frustrated after being asked by Marisa if she's good) Ugh, no! I'm not "good!"
(after being teased by Marisa for getting shafted) Can you blame me?! I'm the main character!! This is totally unfair!!
[Mah-ree-sah Kee-ree-sah-meh]
Super minor role.
The OTHER main protagonist, and Reimu's best friend. Unlike the shrine maiden, the witch is pretty chill about being put on the bench.
Voice Range: Medium
- Males can audition too
- female young adult
- female adult
(after spotting Reimu) Yo, whaddup! You good?
(looking on the bright side of things) Cheer up, Reimu! You should be happy you’re getting screentime.
(after Reimu questions her role as an extra) Well, yeah! That means you’ve got at least SOME importance! Better than nothin’, right?
