🎻 Wait! I thought you guys had your casting call already. What's this one for? 🎻
Due to some unforeseen technical issues, we need to recast the role of SWEETHEART. In addition, as we have been carefully reviewing auditions from our FRIENDS & FOES casting call, the director team has come across some roles that we'd like to extend the audition period of. Please note this does NOT mean that anyone who auditioned for roles reappearing on this casting call have not been casted for ANY roles. In fact, for most of the roles appearing here, the voices we liked best for them were ones we happened to already cast in a different role they auditioned for and would prefer their voices in those roles. This means we need to find new voices in order to avoid double-casting and triple-casting as much as possible.
That being said, we are completely welcome to and even encourage anyone who previously auditioned for some of these characters to audition again following the additional voice notes--especially if this is a character you particularly want to voice! Do your best, make sure you have your best sound treatment, and we would be happy to hear you again!
Please note the turnaround time for this casting call is much shorter than the FRIENDS & FOES casting call. This is an impromptu, secondary casting call we didn't anticipate needing to make, so we'd like to stay on our projected schedule as much as possible. Because of this...
🎀 THE SWEET & SOUR CASTING CALL FOR "WELCOME TO DUBSPACE," AN OMORI FANDUB, WILL BE CLOSING ON AUGUST 26TH, @ 11:59 PM CST. 🎀
🔪 What is "Welcome to Dubspace"? 🔪
A passion-project fandub of the critically acclaimed indie video game, OMORI, brought to you by a team of people who just really love OMORI, really love to voice-act, and really want to bring this incredible story with its memorable cast of characters to life! We'll be limiting most gameplay elements in our videos to make the series more "cinematic," and to encourage people to play the game themselves if they want to experience all of the extra content that can't make it into the series!
It's also important to note that we're having lots of fun with this fandub, too, so there may be moments of additional, custom dialogue added that are not originally found in the game!
💡 What are we looking for? 💡
As mentioned in our first Casting Call, we're looking for people to join our cast to voice many of the diverse characters the main team will encounter throughout OMORI's story. Most of these available roles are Supporting (HS Bosses) or Minor (Recurring NPCs). Any role not seen here has either alread been casted, or is a one-liner extra role that will be divided up among the cast once we have our team.
Please note that there is a GIGANTIC PLETHORA of characters in OMORI spread across two main locations of the game: HEADSPACE and FARAWAY TOWN. To condense our list, some roles to audition for have more than one role included so that voice actors can be present throughout the series. Some of these connections/double-roles are meaningful and have canon, in-game reasons that they are counterparts across locations. Some of them... don't and are just for fun.
💭 Is there payment for this? 💭
Unfortunately not. As stated before, this is a passion-project, meaning that even us directors are just doing this for fun (and also because we really do truly love and believe in OMORI's story). We also love to voice-act and would love to go on to do bigger and better things one day, so our goal is to also help each other learn and grow in a personal capacity, giving lots of valuable opportunities for practice and feedback so we can all hone our vocal talents!
🎹 Requirements 🎹
- We strongly encourage at minimum, recording with a USB mic. While we're by no means professionals (yet), we would like clarity and quality as much as possible. If your audition does not show your best sound treatment, there is a big possibility it will not be considered. Careful sound treatment paired with a clear phone mic could work, but we strongly encourage recording with at least USB mic or better, should you have one. Limit background noises as much as possible.
- Do not SLATE your audition. (In other words, do not state your name in front of your reads.)
- If you would like to record more than one take, please record them in AABBCC format, not ABCABC. Please do not have more than two takes in your audition.
- DO NOT ADD VOICE EFFECTS TO YOUR AUDITION SUCH AS REVERB, ECHO, OR PITCH ALTERATION. General touch-ups for noise removal and clarity is fine and welcome, but ultimately, we want to hear YOUR voices for these characters and YOUR voice-acting skills!
- Discord will be our primary method of communication. Because of this, please include your Discord handle in the description box of your audition.
- OMORI deals with very triggering topics. Ports of the game have been rated "M" for a reason. Because of this, we are requiring that all cast members be at least 16+ years old. Thank you!
- You more than welcome to audition for as many characters as you would like!
If you have any questions, please either email us or message any one of the directors here through CCC!
🎀 AGAIN, THE SWEET & SOUR CASTING CALL FOR "WELCOME TO DUBSPACE," AN OMORI FANDUB, WILL BE CLOSING ON AUGUST 26TH, @ 11:59 PM CST. 🎀
GOOD LUCK!
[ 8/28/22 ]
ALL CAST MESSAGES HAVE BEEN SENT ON CCC! Please check your inbox here on CCC to see if you've been offered a role!
Thank you AGAIN to everyone who auditioned! We can't stress enough how many amazing auditions we received and how difficult these decisions were... over the past two and a half weeks, the directors have spent HOURS discussing and reviewing and carefully making our selections. You are all super talented and should be proud of the work you did!
As potential cast members accept their roles, we'll be marking those roles as "closed" here on our Casting Call! You may notice that not all of the roles have been "closed" yet--that simply means we haven't heard back from the person we've reached out to! We've set a deadline for a response (September 3rd), but if for whatever reason we don't hear back from that person by then (or they do not wish to accept that role) then we will be reaching out to our specially selected understudies! Most likely, if any of these messages need to be sent, they will be sent on September 4th.
Thank you again for all of your time and effort in auditioning here! We're so grateful for everyone's support, and we're excited to get production underway!
