Original English version of Hunni's Coffee:
Your job is to translate the dialogue of Hunni's Coffee from English to French.
You also have complete control on how you want to adapt and localise the script.
(For this dub, i want you to localize the names of the characters, the name of the village where the story takes place in (Windly Hollows) with more French sounding names and overall localizing of the script to make it enjoyable for French speaking audiences.
(The coffee shop is owned by Suzy and Karamella's grandmother named "Hunni" who owns the shop named after herself.)
Once you completed the translated script, you must post it in the audition's comments as a PDF file please?

(phone ringing)
(1:09 - 1:14) Young Suzy: Uh, hello, this is Suzy of the Willows residents speaking. Who is this?
(1:14 - 1:20) Toby (on the phone) H-hello, Kara- w-wait, hold on, you're Hunni's granddaughter, is that right?
(1:21 - 1:23) Young Suzy: Uh, yes i am. Who are you?
(1:24 - 1:33) Toby: My name is Toby. I work at Hunni's, your grandmother's coffee, but that's besides the point. Listen! Something bad has happened to your Grandma.
(1:33 - 1:35) Toby: What!? What happened to her?
(1:36 - 1:49) Toby: Oh god, how do I say this? Your grandmother came to work early this morning, then an hour later... She, she fell on the floor and wasn't breathing.
(1:48 - 1:54) Karamella: (Yawn) Sweetie, what are you doing up this early? Is everything alright?
(1:54 - 2:03) Toby: Karamella? Karamella, is that you? Thank God, listen, something bad has happened with Hunni at her coffee shop-
(2:08 - 2:16) The passing of my grandmother very much soiled the hearts of the residents in Windy Hollows... "sigh", including mine.
(2:17 - 2:22) Young Suzy: "Sniff" But mum, without Grandma around, what will happen with her coffee shop?
(2:23 - 2:37) Karamella: Well, I don't know about that, but I promise you- Sweetie, no matter what happens, no matter if things get rough, we will always find a way to resolve a certain problem.
(2:39 - 2:47) Adult Suzy: After a few days, Toby gave us a ring on the phone and told us to come to Hunni's coffee shop as he wanted to share some important news with my mother.
(2:48 - 2:51) Karamella: Hi, you must be Toby on the phone, is that right?
(2:52 - 2:56) Toby: Yes mam, that's me- And you must be Suzy, correct?
(2:57 - 3:04) Young Suzy: That's me, it's nice to meet you, sir. So, what is it you wanted to tell us about? (Suzy gets handed a key) What's this?
(3:05 - 3:17) Toby: Suzy, Karamella, you two now have complete ownership of Hunni's, aka, your grandmother's coffee shop that brought joy to the residents of Windly Hollows.
(3:16 - 3:19) Young Suzy: (Cute gasp) Really, oh thank you, thank you so much, kind sir!
(3:20 - 3:22) Karamella: That's so nice of you, Toby.
(3:22 - 3:23) Toby: Don't mention it.
(3:24 - 3:35) Adult Suzy: And so, with all the love and support from my mother as well as Toby, we were able to continue my grandmother's coffee shop and keep it running for the people of Windly Hollows to enjoy the delicious coffee.
(3:36 - 3:39) Karamella: Alright, sweetie, here's the next batch of orders for the customers.
(3:40 - 3:45) Toby: Suzy, these orders are for tables 7 and 6. Do you think you can handle that?
(3:46 - 3:50) Young Suzy (Playful pirate voice) Aye aye captain Toby, and especially aye aye to you, Captain Karamella.
(3:51 - 4:03) Adult Suzy: I may have moved away from Windly Hollows, but i made a promise to myself that, even in tough situations, i will not give up and i will find a way to get around any kind of situation i might get into.

*Say something you think would fit*
I just read your transcript, and you did a good job with adapting the dialogue. Well done!
Good news, you got the role as the official translator for the French dub of Hunni's Coffee, and your localisations of the names will be used for the rest of the character auditions.
Auditions for the characters will be added to this page. Once I get all the actors hired, all of you (including you as the translator) will receive links to the project's official production Discord server.
Thank you!
You're welcome.😎
