Voltron: Legendary Defender Abridged
Project Overview
I am a part-time writer and a full-time nerd currently seeking voice actors for a fan-made parody of the newest Voltron reboot. It's a very simple, low-key project so it shouldn't be very high-stress or high-stakes, and is really being made just for the fun of it.

We lost a VA, so Shiro is on the market to be voiced.
In this alternate version of Voltron, the best way to describe Keith is as a spin off of Kirito from SAO Abridged. He's snarky and sarcastic, self-centered, thinks he is and probably is better than everyone else, and hates that he can even be grouped together with the rest of humanity. However, behind it all he does actually care about his teammates, he just won't admit it to them.
I hate a lot of people. If you ask me, the human race is just a bunch of idiots that don’t know what they’re doing and are destined for failure and I’m ashamed to even be a part of the same species. The fact that I am such a superior being yet still considered human is a plain insult.
That’s actually what I wanted to talk to you about. Since you went missing and I got expelled, I’ve been living out here, searching. Spots with abnormally high levels of energy, reported alien sightings, abnormalities in nature and enigmas in the multiple forces of Earth, like gravity or the passing of time or Bohemian Rhapsody being universally the best song. There’s a city nearby that’s never even heard of Queen, so I knew this was where I’d find secrets and cryptids.
Well, if you need a distraction, you should really come see my newly updated conspiracy board.
I basically took the well-known fact that he is a pure cinnamon roll and turned it into a cover-up for the secret, twisted, evil side of him that wants to take over Voltron. On the outside, he's a sweetheart, on the inside, he's rotten to the core.
Poor guy, he’s hysterical. At least he’ll be with his family again.
It’s like the signature of an element, but this one doesn’t exist. At first I thought it must’ve been the writers will to live, but then I realized, maybe it’s Voltron. I might be able to make something like a metal detector we could use to find it.
My dad left us when I was a baby. Me and my mom had nothing, and she had two full time jobs just to feed us. Those days when I was alone at home because we couldn’t afford daycare, all I would do was read the old fighter pilot manuals Lance had left behind at my house. And that’s how I know how to fly. I promised myself someday I’d take over and make a better world for me and my mom, one without privileged white cishet scum like Keith. Screw you, Keith!
He's got daddy issues, which is his entire motivation for taking over the universe.
No, but seriously, a fatherless childhood led him to feeling unloved and unhappy, and now his goal is to destroy all love and happiness in the universe. He also hopes to find the kindest, sweetest, most caring individual to torture them to their breaking point and turn them into a weapon because he believes if he can do that, nothing is holding him back from his goals.
He also makes terrible puns.
Well, looks like we’ve reached our climax. Escort them to the coliseum immediately, so we can begin the breaking process. I’m afraid today’s just not your day, you old hag. Ha! Get it? Because your name is Haggar!
This is Zarkon
Back together
And I'm never going down at the hands of the likes of you
Because I'm so much better
And every part of me is saying "Go get 'er." ('Her' being the Black Lion)
Me and Haggar ain't gonna follow your rules.
Come at us without any of your fancy tools.
Let's go, just me and you.
Let's go, just one on two.(All of One Way or Another by Blondie in your best Zarkon voice)
Way smarter than Zarkon but kind of let's him think he's in charge, when it's really her. Sick of his crap and his terrible jokes.
Forming Voltron is a cheap tactic to make weak fighters stronger.
Look, you’re asking a lot from them here. It’s going to take a while to find someone exactly as you describe. You’re looking for, and I quote, ‘the nicest, kindest, most caring individual. I want them to be the biological equivalent of the sun from the Teletubbies.'
(In the voice of the old woman from Spongebob talking about chocolate)
I remember the day they first formed Voltron...I hated it!
A one-episode character. Angry, aggressive, slightly insane.
This is unacceptable! Do you have any idea how many young children were scarred by your silly prank?! People died!
(Keith asks "Where's Shiro?") He's as dead as your parents.
And I’m a child abuser, but that doesn’t change that I’m above you, and you will respect me! Now, GET OUT OF MY SIGHT!
Irritated with her paladin, constantly flirting with the other lions.
Shinji, get in the goddamn robot-I-I mean wormhole!
Oh hey, black, you've got a real nice wingspan (wink wonk).
Wow, you really proved you’re not out of my league. I’m a lion, why would you even want to be in my league?
Shiro, calm down. We’re with NASA, you crashed a few miles away from headquarters. We just need to make sure you’re not infected with anything that would put others at risk.
You were the only one in the pod that crashed down.
He’s panicking, his heart rate is racing. Put him under.
Shiro is likely the most serious character in this series, and the most similar to his canon self. After being abducted by the Galra along with Sam and Matt Holt on the Kerberos mission, he is reunited with Keith and meets the other Earth teens, now with new hair, a new scar, and a new prosthetic arm. While he struggles with PTSD and keeping his new space family and the universe safe, he truly cares about each and every one of his team members on an individual level and wants to help them become their best selves. He's a natural born leader as well.
Sorry, after all this time, I still haven’t introduced myself. I’m Shiro. You’re Lance, right?
(Angry) Where’s the rest of my crew? What, did you just leave them there? Because it’s a kid and an old man? They’re not useful to you?
(Keith asks if he's okay)...I’m getting there. I mean, I’m lucky to even be alive, I know that much, it’s just-
(Keith: Your teammates)I just...need to stop thinking about where they are right now. It’s getting the best of me.
