Xenoblade Chronicles 2: Torna - The Golden Country DLC Trailer (English Dub)
Project Overview
What's going on everyone! I am SheynTime, and I'm glad to announce the beginning of a new project I will be working on! E3 has brought a ton of exciting news regarding new gaming content. Being the Xenoblade lover that I am, the announcement of the new XC2 Torna DLC was a big moment for me. Just like the original game trailers, they are voiced in Japanese. In the past, one of my Xenoblade VA buddies created a casting call designed to have those trailers dubbed in English before the game's release in December. I plan on doing a similar thing, except with the new Torna trailer of course! I see it as a perfect opportunity to get some fans of the series together to show their love for the game, and also hype up the viewers for this crazy DLC's release at the end of the summer!
--------------------------
Now it's time for a bunch of important information and rules regarding this project
- Many of the characters in this trailer have voices that have never been heard before in the game, so do your best trying to conceptualize how they would sound. I will help guide you through this by providing how I think the character would sound and how I perceived their character to act. You could also try something else entirely if that's what you want, be creative! The choice is yours
- If you plan to audition, please record with the highest quality microphone available and in the quietest place possible, Granted there will be music and sound over the voices, I want to assure that the audio is as pristine as it can be!
- There is a high chance that I will be taking the role of Malos for myself, as I think I do a decent impression and I love his character. However, I will be opening the role just in case someone sends in a head canon audition that kicks my ass.
- This project will likely be organized over Skype or Discord, so if you get casted, make sure you have one of those! I am a huge believer in forming a group with all of the casted members, but considering this is such a small scale, quick production, I'm not sure if I'll be making one or not.
- I am not sure how long it will take to get everyone together, record and edit this project, so please don't get impatient on me if I take a bit longer than expected to make this happen. We all live busy lives and not everything is ready as soon as everyone wants, but I will try to put it together as fast as I can
- Since I do not know which voice is which in Japanese, I will kind of be assuming who says which lines to the best of my ability. Hopefully I can get a majority of them right, haha.
- Re-watching the trailer to see the tone in which the characters say the lines will be very useful in creating your audition. Emotion is the most important element in voice acting, don't forget (me) it!
- Don't forget to have fun! Xenoblade is my favorite series of all time and I wouldn't be doing this if I wasn't going to have fun doing it!
I am thrilled to see auditions for this project and hope y'all bring your best! If you have any questions, please ask me in the comments! Have fun and good luck! Pce!

What's up voice actors and actresses! Auditions are fire so far, but I'm extending the deadline another 2 weeks for anyone who was on the fence last second. Good luck chaps!
In the main game, Jin is a cold, heartless killer, attempting to wipe out the humans and their creator, the Architect. However, in this new story, Jin is presented as his past self, a soft spoken, brave warrior who fights with Addam, Mythra and the other heroes to stop Malos' rampage. It is shown through flashbacks that Jin does not like to fight, despite being one of the strongest members of Torna. Jin is usually a quiet character, only releasing his true emotions during climactic moments, primarily keeping things to himself. Think of him like a kind ninja boy who's just got a bit of rage pent up inside
The year was 3564. The 107th Indoline Praetor, Rhadallis...... Had sent an armed expedition against the country of Coeia. (Co-ay-a)
Its capital, Omrantha, fell overnight....... And sank beneath the clouds, along with the rest of the titan. In fact, it had been the work of one blade. The Aegis, (eee-jiss) a man known as Malos.
This is the road I must walk..... Our paths won't cross.....
Unlike Jin, Malos is not much different from his portrayal in the main story. He is one of the three Aegis', and uses his immense power to destroy and kill whomever he dislikes. Similar to his driver Amalthus, he has a deep hatred for humans, and has little remorse for the people he vanquishes. He has a very distinct, deep voice that gives off an intimidating vibe for all who are present. He also has a tendency to shift his tone of voice mid-sentence, resulting in some incredibly voice acted lines.
(Scornfully) You know it as well as I do. It was the humans that built the bonfire!
Do I need a reason? It's just an easy cure for the tedium of being.
You....... Got somthin' to say?
Amalthus is the driver of Malos, and is partly to blame for the Aegis war. He is perceived to be a kind, holy man who only wishes for peace, but is actually a power seeking tyrant. The yet to be praetor is very manipulative and sneaky, covering his tracks very well. He has a deep, calm voice for a majority of the game until the end where he loses his mind to his own overwhelming power.
(Frustrated) Why the damned bloodlust?!
I have only one thing to ask of you.
Erase Malos from the face of the world.....
The hero of the legends is mostly spoken about in myths and fairy tales of the past, but is finally unveiled in the new DLC. Addam is a caring and brave man who uses Mythra's abilities to stop Malos' assault on the humans. He is humble, yet skilled with a heroic, deep sounding voice.
My mission is to stop the Aegis's destruction...... To subdue Malos.
How about...... You two join up, lend us your strength?
Lora is Jin's fabled driver who meets her untimely end shortly after the Aegis war. In the main story, she is only seen in spirit or in flashbacks. She is shown to be a skilled driver who can adapt to different situations quickly. She cares deeply for Jin, and only wishes to be together with him. Lora has a more matured British voice, even motherly to some extent.
(Concerned) Hey, are you...... Angry? About this whole Malos thing....
(Nervous) But why would he do this?!
(Angry) Is this a game to you?!
Hugo (Not sure if the name is canon) seems to be an ancient relative of Morag and Niall, baring much resemblance to the latter. He appears to contain Morag's courage and Niall's selflessness, wanting to fight Malos and protecting his people. Try to go for a more confident version of Niall for this one, but still with his semi-soft tone
I have always wanted to put myself on the line for our people.
(Shock) This is....... A battle between the Aegises.......
Mythra returns in the new DLC as the legendary Hero's blade. Although Mythra does not have any spoken lines in the trailer, I will fit her into the short battle sequences that are scattered throughout it. She is a very sassy and competitive girl who uses her powers to protect the one's she loves. Just do your best canon Mythra impression.
Ray of Punishment!!
Addam, be careful!
Let me take care of it!
