There are a few extra voices that we do need voiced for this dub! Drop your Demo Reel here, and I'll take a look!

So, while I won't need a thumbnail artist brigade for this project, I will need some people to help for other projects! Just drop examples of your art (NO AI) and then I'll reach out if I think you could help with a thumbnail!

This is for if you want to help out with the project, but don't necessarily know how. You'll be heading to the official Umayuru videos and copying down the subtitles onto a script. After that's done, then I'll edit the script so it's good for dubbing. It'll be a huge help to me though! 

You don't need to provide any examples of anything, just say you're interested in helping.
