Yamada and the 7 Witches Series fandub
Project Overview
Dead line is 17 April, 2015 but note that this is mostly for the main cast and supporting characters and to see how much interest people have in this series. Lets see if we can make this work.
Audition requirements
Should be sent to [redacted].
Please make sure the auditions are .mp3 or .wav format
Please save the lines as "charactername_yourname_linenumber.mp3" (ex: tamtu_vaan_01.mp3).
When you audition, try to send in multiple takes playing with different voices. This is optional, but as with the lottery, playing more increases your odds of winning in the end.
Note that there are more than just two audition lines for some characters. If you decide to audition for them, please record ALL the audition lines as I selected them to show different moods of the characters and this will make casting much easier.
You can zip your files if you like.
Mic Quality: Good quality - and fully functioning. After all, we are trying to do something that hasnt been done (or at least very very rarely done). No static, background noise or clutter.
If you want your name associated with this project, give a name to add to the credits or not if youre shy or embarrassed. A pseudonym will do too.
*PLEASE audition for different characters. Even if you have your heart set one particular character, try and audition for as many as you can. I am looking to try and cast as many people that audition so that nobody feels left out. Plus, this is a really comedic and lively bunch of characters so there's a lot of fun to be had here.
* IMPORTANT! If you want to audition, thats fine, but I was serious about the full series dub thing. I am determined to dub out the whole series. If youre auditioning for a major character, please make sure youre prepared for a long-term commitment. The series contains 12 episodes + a bonus episode. I know this is long and the schedule will be adjusted so that there is enough time to do other projects and to help prevent fatigue and boredom setting in. Those who have worked with me in the past know that we also take our time to achieve the very best quality and we dont mind taking longer than usual, but we still aim to get it done regardless. No doing something half way.
PLOT
This piece is romantic comedy/Supernatural Drama involving Ryū Yamada, who is known as a delinquent at his high school; he has been bored of classes after one year of attending. One day, he accidentally falls from a flight of stairs into Urara Shiraishi, the ace student of the school. He soon learns that Urara has the ability to switch places with whoever she kisses and that he has the power to duplicate other powers used against him. On the suggestion of student council vice-president Toranosuke Miyamura, they revive the Supernatural Studies Club or SSC. The club encounters other "witches" with different powers that are activated with a kiss. Together they set out to find these witches and encounter an enormity of hilarious hi-jinxes along the way.
Unlike normal 12-episode anime, the series is never entirely episodic as even the early arcs feature character development, call-backs, and recurring plot elements, but it's only around the culture festival and especially after Rika's introduction that the threads start to tie together, and it becomes apparent that this wasn't just a "Witch of the Week" kind of series, but actually had an elaborate overarching plot thought out since the start, in which every character has their own role to play.
New characters will be updated as more of them show up in the series. Please note that if there arent audition lines, its because though we know the characters are involved, we have yet to hear them speak. Lines will be added as the series progresses. Also, if you are available for extra voices, you know the one-liner characters who only pop up like once every six episodes, make the subject of your email 'Extra Volunteer' so that I know you're only up for the small roles.
REMEMBER: Dead line is 17 April, 2015 but casting for certain characters might occur as soon as the right auditioneer is found.
UPDATE: Okay guys, I've added several characters. If some of the entries disappear from the list, then it's because I've found the VA I want to cast, but that person is either from BTVA or VAA and not here. Also, if you want me to give you feedback, just ask. I'm all up for that sort of thing.

Noa’s friend who is helping her hunt witches.

She might be a witch. It’s worth investigating further
This sucks, why do we have to help you?
Noa’s friend who is helping her hunt witches.
Voice type: Male teenager, annoyed and at the world and jealous of the witches.
Maybe the two of them just have similar interests which include witches.
Oh really, then how we do explain Yamada’s sudden good grades?

Get off me you moron!
Voice type and personality: Female, teenage. Bubbly and energetic. Talkative.
I'll leave you alone okay? Just give them back to me. They're not minions, they're the only friends I have.
Can you get a professional stylist? And my outfits gotta be custom made. Oh and get me a vocal coach too! And if Im singing in front of people, I have to sound like a pro and not a rube. (Its her rambling)
Voice type and personality: Female, teenage. Friendly and easygoing, rarely shown in a bad mood. Can sometimes have a flirtatious streak.
Everyone set to practice the pyramid formation?
Sorry guys, but I dont think cheer practice will be taking a break anytime soon.
Voice type and personality: Female, teenage. Kind, but very cruel.
While youve been relaxing, your competition has been hard at work.
Im here to check on things. Presidents orders.
Understood. My lips are sealed. I follow your orders alone sir.
Voice type and personality: Female, teenage. Happy going on the surface, but with an aggressive side that sometimes comes out when threatened.
Watch it you spaz!
Now before the sun gets any stronger, shall we get down to business and conclude our little rendezvous.
Voice type: Rude and lazy
I wasnt even using my invisibility spell.
Voice type and personality: Male, teenage. Uninterested and aloof. Extreme amounts of compassion and patience. Crouching moron, hidden badass.
Thanks! You ready saved my butt back there!
I am not your slave!
I finished your homework. Didnt even break a sweat. (As Urara)
Voice type: Calm and collected.
Its not very fancy, but a lottery is the fairest way to decide.
So, Suzaku high prestigious and famous as it is, somehow still has such a student in our ranks?
Of course I knew it was you Yamada. You don't smell anything like a girl.
Urara’s friend who secretly hates her and enjoys playing pranks on her.
Voice type: Female teenager, friendly and normal on the surface, but hiding a hate streak underneath.
There’s going to be a test in History period. We should probably study while we have the time.
Yamada’s a loser. He’s a delinquent. No one would ever believe anything he says.
Voice type and personality: Female, teenage. Reserved and aloof. Calm almost all the time. At the start, she is undeniably not happy that she has been alone, friendless and bullied for most of her life. She is brutally honest. Also quite the deadpan snarker and a bit of a ditzy genius. She isn't an authoritarian person.
Yamada, instead of debating what were going to use the money for, maybe we should first focus on what were going to do to win said money.
Then you can take my bath for me.
I know we switch places to do things for each other, but bathing? (as Yamada)
