Yu-Gi-Oh! DM Casting - Malik & Bakura (Excerpt)
Project Overview
Completed video: https://youtu.be/5_CslSvC6jw
I've adapted/written an accurate English dub script for the conclusion to the Bakura and Malik duel in the Yu-Gi-Oh! DM series. My plan is to release a dubbed excerpt (roughly 4 minutes long) that features less censored dialogue compared to the 4Kids version. The original Japanese soundtrack will be kept and an effort will be made to keep the voice direction closer to the original Japanese.
For this project, I am not looking for imitations of the 4Kids English cast. Instead, I would prefer to showcase original takes that either match the Japanese voices, or something new and unexpected (but still fitting for the characters).
Note: Because Bakura's Japanese VA is female I'm open to both female and male auditions for the character. For a female take, I would suggest a Lenore Zann style voice as a match for Rica Matsumoto but feel free to try something different if that's out of your range.
The final dialogue may not be the same as the audition lines.

[Annoyed/Angry] But that doesn't make any sense! How can you claim victory if your Life Points have been sacrificed to Ra?!
[Threatening/sinister] It's not over... I will be resurrected... And then I'll kill you...! For I am the darkness itself.
[Evil laughter sample]
Bio: (Dark) Yami Malik is the split personality of the original Malik Ishtar. Unlike Yami Yugi and Yami Bakura, Yami Malik did not originate as an entity sealed within a Millennium item, instead, he was spawned from trauma Malik endured after suffering abuse at the hands of his father. His dark personality also grew from a grudge he bore against the Pharaoh after he was forced to guard his tomb.
Alignment: Evil
Personality: Arrogant, Sadistic, Creepy, Maniacal

[Thinking] It seems the Millennium Rod didn't reveal all of its secrets to my other half...

[Confident] All we need to do is survive and Ra will disappear!
