[CLOSED] Genshin Impact & Other Fandubs Part 2
Flameziz for Sigurd Curtis
If you auditioned for this role on another casting call of mine, please DO NOT resubmit your audition! ALL auditions on previous casting calls will still be considered. I am just opening this role once more to gain more auditions, and once it officially closes, ALL auditions will be looked at and considered. HOWEVER, if you wish to change something about your audition, such as the pitch or different vocal direction, then that is fine. Just please do not submit the exact same audition and the exact same takes. Otherwise, it will cause confusion.
Sigurd is from the otome Wizardess Heart. We are looking to recast the previous actor, and for a possible understudy as the workload is too much for one person. Therefore we may be casting 2 VAs for this role but am mostly focusing on a recast for now.
Likes: Creatures with wings, Coffee
Dislikes: Inconsiderate People
Hobby: Teasing Klaus (his cousin)
Skills: Riding his cloud bird (Smokey)
Personality:Sigurd is at first glance, a gentleman. He presents himself as polite and sweet, and is someone who is always ready to help. There's rarely a moment in his route where he's rude, or steps out of line. He has a more mischievous side to him - teasing the protagonist and Klaus at every turn-- even offering up some of Klaus' secrets, before he cuts him off. Because of his sweet and gentlemanly nature, Sigurd ends up being very popular with the female students.
Deep down, he has a lot of personal issues (maybe even self hatred), thinly veiled through his kindness. Sigurd is emotionally out of reach, due to hiding most of his emotions through a smile. He has a bad habit of lying, and his route deals heavily with getting him to open up more and say what he's really feeling. This complex of his started after one event when he was a child - after trying to communicate with his step-mother. Sigurd was still dealing with immense grief over losing his mom, and this wasn't helped by the fact his step-mother reminded him so much of his late mother. She asked if he loved her, and he said yes, but it wasn't convincing, since Sigurd was still adjusting to his new parent. Through tears, she told him he was a terrible liar, and Sigurd felt awful, deciding he couldn't ever hurt anyone close to him like that again. Of course, years later, he and his step-mother accept each other - as he even calls her Mom in his happy ending.
He is also a little distant with Klaus, considering they didn't talk so much after his mother's death, and Klaus wasn't around while he lived with the Goldstein family. But through his route, they get closer again - Sigurd even mentions that the letters he sent to the protagonist were his way of learning to open up to his cousin again.
Voice: Mid-high to high, sweet, silky, soft, smooth or charismatic. Sigurd is often addressed as "Prince Sigurd" by the female students, so his voice should reflect his gentlemanly manner. I am looking to voice match or have something similar to this or this
- androgynous
- male young adult
- american
(Slightly teasing, reassuring the protagonist) Don't mind him. Klaus can be a bit of a stick in the mud sometimes.Pronunciation for Klaus: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1vFuPxUJ_TnGmzg-peOOFeATfq1hR4R60/view?usp=sharing (it is not pronounced like santa "clause")
I knew you were the new student. I heard you were starting today!
[Context: The protagonist is standing close talking to one of the other love interests. Sigurd is getting a bit jealous even though they aren't in a relationship](Clearing his throat) *Ahem...* (Questioning, slightly jealous but trying to hide it) Aren't we a little too close?
Hello! If you were interested, I would love to cast you as our Sigurd understudy but totally understand if you are not interested. How this would work is that our "main" Sigurd will voice content for the main route, and the understudy will help voice content that's not main-story so that we can 1) get more content faster 2) have the work divided amongst you two so that there is less on everyone's plate overall. Please do not feel obligated to say yes if you are not interested. Either way, I really appreciate your time and appreciate you getting the callback in so quickly!
I would be very interested in joining on! Thank you for the chance at it~
