Welcome to the casting call for Your Turn to Abridge - Fandub by Majority!
This is, as you could probably tell, an abridged series based on the increasingly popular visual novel "Kimi Ga Shine" - or Your Turn to Die in the west - created by Nankidai. The project itself was conceptualized out of the blue and we firmly believe that it can become something spectacular with the right work and voices!
For that reason, auditions are open! However, before you decide to try and lend your voice to this project, we need you to know a few key details:
That takes care of it! I forgot to mention, but Sou isn't listed because I intend to voice him! Good luck to any potential candidates (pun definitely intended)!
Hello everyone! Quick little update regarding the deadline for submissions for Phase 2!
After much deliberating, I've decided to extend the deadline to February 17th, at midnight (GMT). This is mostly due to me not being around for at least the first two weeks of February during week days because of work!
That's all! Good luck to all potential candidates!
Hello, everyone! I'm sure many of you who followed the project had forgotten this existed, but I haven't! Life's just been hectic, to say the least.
In any case, we're back! In a limited way, but we're back! Right now, 5 roles are open - 4 new, 1 old - for new submissions!
Those roles are:
Sue Miley
Alice Yabusame
Meister
Kugie Kizuchi
Gin Ibushi (Withdrawal from previous VA)
That is all! Apologies for the lack of updates thus far. Like I said, it's been tough to prepare things for this project.
That being said, good luck to any new (or old) candidates trying their hand at this!
Edit: Completely forgot, but new deadline is Feb 1st, 2024!
Looking for a mid to high pitch with this role.
Being the protagonist of YttD, Sara's going to have a lot of screen time, as well as lines in general. In this version of the story, she's incredibly shrewd, with a pinch of condescension and irony permeating her normal voice. That being said, she'll be one of the most normal characters in this abridged series, although descending into madness as the episodes keep going forward. She also has the habit of breaking the fourth wall, that being a recurring gag during the series.
(Normal tone of voice, a pretty standard introduction) My name’s Sara Chidouin. I’m a high school student with a painfully average life. Really, I’m not that special.
(Inner monologue, anger and pure disbelief) This dumbass would be formal NOW of all possible times?!
(Inner monologue, audible concern and worry) B-Better keep an eye on this fucker... Something tells me he’s gonna be problematic.
Looking for a mid to high pitch with this role.
Joe is Sara's best friend, although not the sharpest tool in the shed - at least in this series. Despite that, he's an energetic and cheerful guy that manages to lighten up the mood around him by just existing. Adding to that, he's also developed over the years a weird way of talking that he constantly uses. While Sara has gotten used to it, it's still unclear if the rest of the cast is ready for it...
(Cheerful, greeting Sara for the first time) Yooooooo, girlboss Sara! Watcha doin’ here at this hour?
(Concerned for his friend) S-Sure, aight. If that’s the case, ya boi’s heading out. See ya tomorrow, sis!
(Confident in his abilities) Leave it to me, I’ll have us both out of here in a jiffy!
Looking for a low, deep pitch for this voice.
Keiji is the suave and friendly Mr. Policeman that acts as a sort of right hand man to Sara throughout the story. Given his meme status as being nothing more than his monstrous arms, he's... actually not that different from the actual game. Although, let's say his personality might seem a little more cynic and ironic than usual. Still, he means no harm... Most likely, anyways.
(Nonchalant) Name’s Keiji Shinogi. I’m a police officer.
(Unamused with the situation) Yeah, each one of us had that when we arrived. None of us really know what they are.
(Calm and collected, greeting Sara) Good morning, little miss. Welcome back to the world of the living.
Looking for a high, soft pitch with this role.
Kanna Kizuchi - bless her entire existence - is a middle schooler who, through the kindness of her heart, made the wrong choices and ended up in the Death Game. Although weak and often overlooked, she manages to push away the guilt felt by her sister's passing and become a very valuable member of the cast. Of course, as any little kid would under such circumstances, she has breakdowns pretty often, as well as the shadow of her older sister Kugie watching over her at every step.
(Crying, scared to death) K-K-Kanna’s name is Kanna Kizuchi...
(Scared, screaming) KANNA'S SISTER IS DEAD!
Looking for a low pitch for this role.
Q-Taro is a giant baseball player with deceptively high levels of intelligence. However, in this version, he's your typical guy with a southern accent and ready to bash some heads... Well, if there was any fighting to do anyway. Keep in mind that this is an abridged series, as some of his dialogue might be a little interesting, to say the least. No matter the case, he'll surely be a powerful ally to have in this twisted world of YttD.
(Normal tone of voice) Q-Taro Burgerberg. Professional baseball player.
(Slightly nervous) Y-Yeah, somethin’ like that. But couldn’t open it. See here these three keyholes?
(Normal tone of voice) Well, now that that’s settled, gotta show ya guys what lil’ ol’ me found.
Looking for a mid, tending toward deeper pitch with this role.
Reko Yabusame is usually one of the groups' voices of reason, either by just screaming very loudly or threatening to beat 'em up. Not much is changed for this rendition of the character, besides the comedic timings she will often encounter herself having in not the best of situations. Still, through and through, her big sis energy will shine.
(Tough, confident tone) Name’s Reko Yabusame, singer/songwriter. If I catch any of y’all slacking, I’ll punt you to the moon myself.
(Audibly concerned) I-Is that a freaking human head?!
(As calm and reassuring as she can) C-Calm down, please. Tell us what happened.
Looking for a mid to high pitch for this role.
Being one of the most relatable characters in the game, Nao is a normal college student with a little too much on her plate. Therefore, she remains one of the most normal within the cast, even in this version of the story. Which is both good, because you can easily understand her reasonings... And bad, because this is anything but a place for normal folks.
(Normal tone of voice) M-My name is Nao Egokoro! I’m a-an art college student, and I have Professor Mishima to thank for that!
(Happily) Awww, you’re so cute!
(Extremely worried) O-Oh no! Kanna!
Looking for a mid to low pitch, with an elegant voice for this role.
Kai Satou, homamaker extraordinare. His mysterious aura and behavior can easily give him away as a loner, but his heart is pure, and so are his intentions... Right? Well, whatever the case, nobody can deny the one fact everyone knows for sure about him: His hair is absolutely amazing.
(Elegant tone) I am Kai Satou. A rather... unremarkable homemaker and cook.
(Reassuring) Worry not, they are but cooking utensils, not tools I use to cause harm.
Looking for a high pitch, childish voice for this one.
Gin Ibushi, rambunctious middle schooler that just about everyone and their mother loves to death! In this version of the story, he's mostly unaltered personality wise... But every so often, he will acquire a taste for B L O O D. Or it could just be a full moon. Either way, precious little boy is still precious!
(Excited, but cautious) Gin Ibushi, meow! Middle schooler with a really cool attitude!
(Concerned) Do we really have to...? Smells like a trap, woof...
Looking for a mid pitch, tending towards a little deeper.
Everybody's favorite art teacher, Kazumi Mishima. While remaining one of the best voices of reason within the cast, he has also acquired a really bad habit in this version of events, one that is instantly noticed in his normal tone of voice: he is constantly high as a kite. Fortunately, his personality remains fairly unchanged, but it'll be somewhat difficult to take him seriously when he sounds baked all the time.
(Sounding high) The name’s Kazumi Mishima... High School professor of arts and crafts and... shit like that...
(Somewhat proud) Hmm... Yeah... Ms. Nao was one of my most exemplary students...
(Disappointed) My... How the youth of today are going...
Looking for a mid pitch for this voice, with a hint of sarcasm and sadism behind each line.
Sue Miley, the laughing doll. She's the first floor master of the Death Game, responsible for the proceedings up until the First Main Game. For the most part, she's pretty unaltered from the base game, but she's more prone to bad comedic timings and trying stupid slang to appeal to the kids, including dead memes every once in a while.
(Introducing herself to everyone) Helloooooooo, everyone~! I am Sue Miley, the laughing doll!
(Finding Alice in the locker, amused) Well, would you look at that? We got ourselves a little hider, after all.
(Closing earlier mentioned locker, almost chuckling) Shhh... Everything’s alright. We’ll meet again very soon.
Looking for a deep, raspy pitch for this voice.
Alice Yabusame, convict for murder and Reko's older brother. While not part of the original eleven that appear at the start of the game, he quickly makes himself known after... Certain events. Pride personified and ready to admit he's always right!
(Sleep-talking, angry) Hiyori, you motherfucker...
(Panicking as he's stuck in the locker) Y-YOU CAN'T JUST LEAVE ME HERE!
Looking for a mid to low pitch for this voice.
One of the major antagonists of the game, Meister is a mysterious individual. Cool, collected and seemingly every bit as sadistic as every other Floor Masters, he first shows up in an event in the First Floor. However, his light southern accent comes around every now and then... As does a few rage issues.
(At the start of the Russian Roulette event, enthusiastic) Welcome, welcome, one and all, to the event of a lifetime!
(Dismissive) Oh, mah name's of no importance, little miss. You can call me Meister.
(Angry) Can you stop fucking talking with the audience?! You're not supposed to do that, you know?
Looking for a mid to high pitch with this role.
Meet Kugie Kizuchi, Kanna's adoptive older sister! She literally doesn't have a single line in game, but we can infer that she's a lot like Sara from Bucket Girl's descriptions of her. So... Imagine Sara's character, but from the perspective of someone who's already dead, and you get Kugie!
(Nonchalant) Name’s Kugie Kizuchi, Kanna’s adoptive sister and PTSD enabler.
(Normal tone) This is a death game, geezer. I can tell that people will die. And soon at that.
(Slightly Condescending) I hate to be that girl, but... I told ya.
