Hi there! I'm the co-director, CCC's Main Casting Director, and video editor! We are looking for multiple voice actors and a sizeable amount of crew in the editing and art department! We are planning to dub comics of many kinds concerning Zenless, whether that'll be a date between Jane and Seth, an exchange between Zhu Yuan and Miyabi, whatever goes! We're planning to even make our own comics (some are already being made by the main artist/main director as we speak!) If this project gets extremely big, we are planning to have a lot of AU comics made!
Note: Some characters are not listed here because they're already casted. These includes: Anby, Lycaon, Hugo, Seth and etc. While some are probably aren't gonna have too much comics made about them, you can audition for extras or we can just choose one of the cast if there is a character like Qingyi (which as of the time, doesn't have many comics made yet) needed.
Voice matches would be nice, but our vision for this project is more so looking for actors who are able to incorporate the character over the actors' own unique but still fitting voice.
Requirements:Microphone can be of any kind as long as the background noise is minimal at best. Too many 'plosives' that make the take sound unnatural will automatically be ousted.
You must be 16+ to audition.
Discord is a must. I cannot compromise by using another app or lack thereof. I will not be able to do live direction due to schedule reasons, connectivity reasons, and the list goes on and on.
Record in AAABBBCCC format. Just to add, you might have to record like this when needed if you are accepted.
Please do not slate/introduce yourself in your auditions, instead, use this handy fill-out form:
Name:
Voice Range Age: (Example: 14-17, 20-28)
Voice Tone: (Example: Baritone, Tenor)
Role: (Example: Jane, Zhu Yuan)
Availability / Time Zone:
Familiarity with ZZZ:
Experience (Opt.):
Socials (Also opt.):
Anything Else You’d Like Us to Know?:
Any questions for us?
Callbacks:
- A callback means that the casting team or I enjoyed your audition but would like to hear something different from you. Example of this could be a change of pitch, different line delivery, etc. Callbacks are very important as it will help the casting team, and I determine who to cast. Not submitting a callback after a certain amount of time tells us you are no longer interested in the role, and therefore we may go with someone else. If you need an extension, I have no issues granting one as long as I am told beforehand.
- A callback may also be me contacting you because I think your voice may fit what I am looking for another character.
When casted, I'll give everyone around a week and a half to complete their lines. If your schedule conflicts with this, then please do not audition. If you have gone past this length of time, I'll be giving you three strikes, then I'll be recasting your character. If for any reason you are aware you cannot meet the deadline, let me or the main director know in advance, along with a reason and a proposed time frame for completion. If you do not submit your lines within the extended time frame (and we have given you three strikes by then), we will have to recast your role.
We’re excited to work with passionate and dedicated individuals. If you're ready to bring Zenless Dub Zero to life, we look forward to hearing your audition! Don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.
Hey y'all! We've just started casting and I'd like to say that everyone's auditions were AMAZING. I had a hard time choosing between some!
Anyway, I'd like to say that some roles that aren't getting any auditions yet, so I'll extend them for some time. The ones that are closed, will remain closed.
Lastly, I'll invite the accepted auditioners via discord after ALL the casting is done, so please be patient!
I'll be in touch soon. Love you all.
Yo, yo, yo ladies! I see there's quite a few good submissions in those auditions! Anyway, I just wanted to inform y'all that some add-ons in info that I overlooked previously.
The first one is that I realized that I included Michael Schwalbe instead of Clifford Chapin, whom the former is the beta VA for Billy. Clifford, on the other hand, is the current VA for Billy Kid, and is personally my taste for how Billy should sound like, but that's absolutely up to you.
The second and hopefully last change I'll made, is adding on another part of the query which is "Familiarity with ZZZ:"
This is important due to whether I will have to offer directions to those who may not know the contents of the game. However, those who have already submitted before I sent this update have no need to make any changes.
Lastly, thanks for auditioning, I'm looking forward to more from you guys. There's a lot of drafts and edits I've already created with the main creator, so I'm hoping that it'll be a booming start when the deadline is over!
One of the two main protagonist in Zenless Zone Zero. Also known as Phaethon, also known as "New Eridu's Harem protagonist " His voice description would be soft, gentle and kind, and a hint of confidence.
Here's the voice reference for Wise, voiced by the great Stephen Fu:

Fairy, keep your voice down, would ya? I'm trying to focus here.
Miss Hoshimi... Miyabi!!! (Struggling to call out Miyabi during a Foxfire storm)
One of the two main protagonists in Zenless Zone Zero. Also known as Phaethon, also known unofficially as Second Assistant by the ever-sneering AI Assistant, Fairy. Belle's voice tone should be lively, more extroverted than her brother, while also being really grounded when it comes to Proxy work.
Here's her voice reference, voiced by the great Courtney Steele:
Want to watch great movies in New Eridu? Then don't forget to check out Random Play first!
She sure has rizz. I love her~
Yeah, that's true, but... Why are they all so slow-paced? We need to get more exciting movies, don't you think?
The denny loving pinkhead Nicole from the Cunning Hares/Gentle House faction. Will she pay her debts to her debtors one day? Or will she somehow evade them for the 8th time? Her voice tone should be nasally, extroverted, and a personality of a *Cunning Hare*.
Here's the voice reference for Nicole Demara, voiced by the great Nadia Marsha:
Nothing to fear. The Cunning Hares are here.
Need something? My services are expensive~
Phaethon, can you do some of your magic on that complicated computer of yours?
The newest member of the Cunning Hares/Gentle House. Nekomaya Mana (who often refers to herself as Nekomata) is a character introduced in in the later parts of chapter 1. She's often acts cute, but she's also able to subdue anyone who seeks to harm her. She also has a constant need for mackerel, much to the Cunning Hares financial dismay. Her voice tone should be really playful, with a bunch of cute vibes surrounding it.
Here's the voice reference for Nekomata, voiced by the great Alice Himora:
NEKOMATA BEING A GOOFY CAT FOR 2 MINUTES | Zenless Zone Zero Nekomiya Mana Best Moments - YouTube
Did you call me? Nyaa~
How about I make you an offer you can't refuse?
Ew... Why do I feel embarrassed watching myself act cute...!
Billy Kid, an AI construct in a physical body. While he may be a sharpshooter on the battlefield, his personality couldn't be any more 180 than what the average enemy expects of their opponent.
Still, his goofiness and big love for the Starlight Knights show keeps him a fan favorite amongst ZZZ fans. His voice tone should be goofy, ecstatic and always up for any good piece of adventure.
Here's the voice reference for Billy, voiced by the great Michael Schwalbe (Beta Stages):
Billy Character Demo - "It's Showtime!" | Zenless Zone Zero - YouTube
Here's the voice reference for Billy, voiced by the great Clifford Chapin (1.0v and present day):
I have two guns, so, double the accuracy!
Starlight, it's time to shine!
Yo, yo, yo, good morning ladies! Rise and grind! Come on Starlight Knights, Transformation!
Grace Howard, perhaps one of the weirder overlooked characters in Zenless, Grace loves to treat AI machinery as if they were children. Besides that, she's the Lead Tech of Belobog Heavy Industries as well as their R&D specialist. Her voice tone should be motherly and kindhearted.
Here's the voice reference for Grace, voiced by the great Chelsea Kwoka:
I only handle technical matters.
Patience Sweet Pea. Lemme fix this child first.
*chuckles* Don't worry, I can take care of myself. And you got here just in time, didn't you Sweet Pea? That's why you're the president, so dependable~ (In a tone that's like doting a child)
The leader of Belobog Heavy Industries, often confused whether she's even affiliated with anyone there due to how youthful and short she is. She has quite the temper issue, so you wouldn't want to screw her over. Just sayin'. Her voice tone is very nasally, as if she's talking with a blocked nose. She also has a very bratty underlying tone.
Here's the voice reference for Koleda Belobog, voiced by the great Katie Cofield:
You wanna test my hammer?
Hey! Don't look down on me!
Hey you! Quit staring at me like I'm a kid!
Daughter material frfr. Corin Wickes is a surprisingly incredibly strong maid in Victoria Housekeeping Services. Somehow she has a weapons license because they let cute little girls have mechanical makeshift chainsaws. Her voice tone should be extremely jumpy and scared. Imagine there's a snake constantly slithering between your legs... or something.
Here's the voice reference for Corin, voiced by the great Chloe Eves:
H-huh?! D-don't look at me...
G-guoh? I-I'm sorry!
Ahhh!!! I'm so, so sorry!!! (Yelling)
Caesar King is the daughter of the founder of the biker gang "Calydon." Which eventually became the "Sons Of Calydon". While she may seem brave, many fans agree that she's bakadere material. Born to dere, forced to Shojo.
Her voice tone should be kind, but mainly lionhearted, and maybe reckless.
Here's the voice reference for Caesar, voiced by the great Jennifer Sun Bell:
We fightin'? Take me!
Only the brave will win... Heh, that's me! (Not cocky, rather just realizing)
There's more to battle... For glory!!! (Yelling at the end)
Burnice White is one of the... interesting members of the Sons Of Calydon. Since she has some kind of attraction with fire, she probably has some autism in her. Actually, scratch that. She's prolly the WHOLE spectrum. Which is why she's actually one of my favorite characters :3
Her voice tone should be cutesy, while also being unwarily sadistic. Just imagine that fire is the only thing that brings you joy.
Here's the voice reference for Burnice, voiced by the great Risa Mei:
Burnice, ready!!! (Red-dae!!!)
Want a glass of Nitro-Fuel~?
Don't all kitties love being warm, and toasty?
Luciana Auxesis Theodoro de Montefio, also known as Lady Lucy, is a shortie with an attitude, which is unexpected given her heritage as the daughter of the prestigious Montefio family. Oh? She's also pretty angry, if that wasn't obvious enough. She's kinda like Videl from DBZ, if you catch my drift.
Her voice tone should be somewhat bratty, but with some class, as if she's royalty.
Here's the voice reference for Lucy, voiced by the great Courtney Lin:
Huh? Oh- To what do I owe the pleasure?
Gah!!! You guys are driving me nuts!!!
That's not the only thing you forgot... I told you, don't bother with my friends again... unless you want Grassy, Woody and Bricky lining up to stomp you in the face!
Officer Zhu "Gyatt" Yuan (I made it up, please don't leave) is a hardworking officer of Public Security with great diligence in her work. You'd never see her slack off or even enjoy a day off because that's how hardworking she is. BossWife material confirmed.
While her voice tone isn't really authoritative, a mature tone is really what sets her apart from the other characters.
Here's the voice reference for Zhu Yuan, voiced by the great Alaina Wis :
Officer 148, Zhu Yuan, ready.
Huh? Is something the matter?
Don't even try it, you're surrounded!
Her voice tone should be hella flirty. Like, no kidding I felt like she was trying to eat me out when I saw her trailer.
Here's the voice reference for Jane, voiced by the great Kelsey Jaffer:
https://youtu.be/5WCl2mtL4eE?si=D7LNel3h0LuG-9_l
Which alias should I use this time~?
Have a taste of the abyss~!
Be a good boy Seth! You don't want to be called a "bad boy" do you?
Heh. now we cut to today's news, Astra Yao's kind heart and melodic voice brings joy throughout all of New Eridu. I'm a metalhead, but goddamn is she amazing at singing. (Doesn't mean you necessarily need to sing to audition!!!)
Her voice tone should be caring, kind, and maybe just high school girl vibes (not snobby, of course).
Here's the voice reference for Astra, voiced by the great Molly Zhang:
Is the concert starting? (excited)
This is New Eridu, the last city on the planet. Despite the seemingly hopeless situation, we've clung to a strange sense of joy, enduring one wave after another. Even if our destruction is inevitable, we'll confront it on our own terms.
Just one sec- One sec okay!? There's something i forgot to tell Wise - I still owe you a signed poster! I'll remember! No! Next time, I'll bring you an even bigger gift! Just wait~
Evelyn Chevalier resemble closely to my name huh? Well she's more of a fighter, hence why she's Astra Yao's bodyguard. A LOT of ships on them have been made. Otherwise it's usually WiseAstra stuff (poor Eve).
Her voice tone should be authoritative when needed, but usually kind and caring towards allies and friends.
Here's the voice reference for Evelyn, voiced by the great Elizabeth Maxwell (speculated):
Asset confirmed, preparing to move out.
I'll protect you from any danger.
Alright I get it... I'll use my real name for this one.
Now Vivian is a bit creepy. She's a HUGE Phaethon fangirl as well as having a quirk that is predicting ONLY bad futures. Of course she was blamed for all these foreseen calamities. Cuz... Y'know, plot.
Her voice tone should be EXTREMELY soft spoken. Her mannerisms may not be that introverted but her voice carries an air of authority whenever she's serious, thankfully most of the time she's not so... Wubwubwubwub.
Here's the voice reference for Vivian, voiced by the great Sarah Wiedenheft (speculated):
People often mask their true intentions... Sometimes... What you can see *is* the real truth.
Lies... Deception.... Betrayal... I see swirling mist shrouding the truth in a deep enigmatic haze... ...Found you. Chosen One.
Is the one who foretells tragedy... A sage who warns of thorns ahead... Or a Harbinger of disaster itself?
Fairy, BG characters, Bangboo, Pubsec Officers, Zhu Yuan's parents, Hollow Raiders, you name it.
I would suggest leaving a timestamp in the comments for your demo reel of the characters above of who you would like to be. An example would be:
"0:54 - Fairy"
(Whatever else you'd like to add/comment. Followed by your Discord handle)
