Introductions
Hello! My name is FullAsianJay, and my co-director is KonoDeanoDa, but you can call us Jay and Dean respectively. We're two friends, who decided to try our hands at fandubbing scenes from different anime that we've enjoyed over the years, didn't receive a dub (yet), or wasn't all that fulfilling in English, given the type of scene that it was (These types of scenes we refer to are typically one's that had dialogue heavily altered, due to censorship). We look forward to hearing the talent from all the wonderful people, who audition! Remember, everyone, to have fun with these auditions! You can do it!
Brief Series (Also Scene) Summary
Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal is the sixth spin-off of the original Yu-Gi-Oh! series. The story centers around Yuma Tsukumo, a young boy, who enjoys playing duel monsters but plays the game with skills lower than an amateur. One day, his best friend, Tetsuo Takeda, winds up losing to the bully of their school, Ryoga Kamishiro [Shark], who ends up taking his deck per their pre-duel agreement. This causes Yuma to challenge Shark to a duel, with his own deck and Tetsuo's on the line, despite the fact that Yuma is extremely bad at the game. During the duel, Yuma encounters The Door through a vision that negotiates a deal with him for unfathomable power. Because of this, a mysterious entity named Astral, who has lost his memories, appears before Yuma. In order to regain his memories, Astral and Yuma will need to collect all ninety-nine Number cards, which hold not just Astral's memories but a great power as well. Thus an entirely new bond is forged between the two.
Rules and Clarifications
Be sure to have decent microphone quality!
While the “Voice Description” tab may describe the general idea of what the character’s voice should sound like, that is only there to help the actor gain an understanding of the possible voice for that character. If you have another portrayal for that character’s voice in mind, then by all means, send it in! We may even like it better than what we originally wanted!
In regards to that last bullet, (This is probably obvious to some, and I apologize for redundancy) you can audition for as many roles as you want!
If you don’t get a part, don’t feel bad! We will take into consideration everybody that auditions! A person, who doesn’t make the cut, might just be contacted to audition for a character specifically or even asked to voice that character automatically (if they would like to)!
You DO NOT need to possess prior knowledge of any of the shows that these fandubs originate from!
Role Assignment
- Some characters, within this fandub, will appear in scenes from the series in the future. So once a role has been assigned to somebody, then they’re casted as that character for ALL the fandubs the character appears in, unless the actor is unavailable or says otherwise.
Line Recording Process
- Discord is necessary for the line reading process to flow smoothly.
We would prefer if the person reading the lines would have their Discord on the same computer that their mic setup resides.
This is so the actor can perform the lines live with Dean and I in the call, to get instant feedback and better direction.
For this, we will try to schedule a desired date and time for Dean and I to get into a call with the actor that works with everybody’s schedule!
If the actor doesn’t feel comfortable in a live call, then that is perfectly okay! They can just send in their lines through files and recordings! We just wanted to do the live call to provide less hassle for the actor, just in case we’d like the actor to reread their lines again or say the line in a specific way.
- A specific script will also be sent to the actor for their assigned character, with a more organized script, side comments for lines, etc.
