Salutations! My name is Zaru, and welcome to the casting call! So, while the many things with the Xenoblade anime is going on, I figured that, as a side project, I'd like to do a fandub of the cutscenes of Xenoblade Chronicles. This will be covering every story cutscene of the game (with voice acting), so that's like, 11 hours or so. Needless to say, this will be a big project.
For the voices, try to get them as
close to the English dub as possible, but if you'd like to put your own
spin on it, then please feel free too. :)
If I missed any characters, please let me know.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is what we will need if you audition:
1.
You must have at least decent mic quality. If there is a little bit of
fuzz in the background, that is alright. But the better your sound
quality is...the better your sound quality is. Basically, we want the
cleanest quality that we can get, but if your microphone isn't the best,
then that is totally okay!
2. YOU MUST BE ABLE TO WORK WELL WITH
OTHERS!! That means no insulting, hurting, or threatening others is
allowed or tolerated! (If we catch you doing any of those, you will
IMMEDIATELY be removed, and we will recast your character(s).
3. Feel free to audition for as many characters as you wish.
4.
While it is not required, it is recommended for you to have Skype
and/or Discord. We have plans on making a Skype/Discord group for those
who join, so we can (a) get to know each other better, and (b) so we can
work smoother.
5. Bloopers are allowed. We are actually hoping on
making a few blooper reels as the series goes on, so kick back and have
fun with those lines :D
6. Emotion. Several of the characters will be
portraying multiple emotions throughout the series, so try to hit those
emotions as well as you can.
7. You must stick to your character.
Since this series will be a bit long, we'll need you to be determined to
stick to your character. That way we don't have to recast every couple
episodes.
8. We will be casting two people per character: One as the
actual voice actor, and the other as a "backup", in case the first one
is unable to pull through in time.
9. Please send your parts in on
time. We've had trouble in the past with people not delivering parts in
time. Please don't be one of them.
10. Above all, have fun :D
