Casting Call for (Jet Set Radio Audio Drama) "Stories From: Tokyo-to" Part 3
Project Overview
"Stories From Tokyo-to" is a world-building audio drama set in the Jet Set Radio Universe. It essentially creates a head cannon and fleshes out the story and characters from the 2000s Dreamcast game. The game's creators designed the characters to be icons in the gaming industry, of course, they had backstories and history, but they kept it out in favor for the player to make them up on their own. And let me tell ya, it worked. "Stories From Tokyo-to" starts off before even the GG's inception. Each part of the following chapters follows one of the founding GG's and their story: Beat, Gum, and Tab. The series will be posted on the dedicated "Stories From: Tokyo-to" YouTube channel. I can't wait and hope to see this project be fueled by passion and love from the games! Thank you for reading!

Hello everyone, GhostBable here! From the bottom of my heart, thank you all so much for auditioning! Please know that some of the roles won't be needed due to prearranged assignments that I forgot to update since I was away from CCC for quite some time. I do apologize for the inconvenience. However, the roles of Tab, DJ. Professor K , and Potts will be selected either by today or tomorrow! Again, thank you all for your time!

Excerpt from the Tab JetSetPedia page:
"While not described as in-depth as Beat or Gum, Tab is consistently described as a genius. As such, he's presumably somewhat arrogant with a general enthusiasm for his work. The dialogue he has during his challenge seems to indicate this arrogance, stating he needs to test Beat's qualifications for hanging with him and asking Beat if he thinks "he's all that" after the first challenge. Into his activities as a Rudie, Tab also likes to taunt the cops by skating laps and breakdancing around them."
(Tab has more of a prominent and relatively high Urban/"Hood" voice)

(Shifting to false confidence) But I find out who it was, I'll tell ya straight up, aight?

Excerpt from the DJ Professor K JetSetPedia page:
"The founder of Jet Set Radio, Professor K was born in Jamaica, and raised in New York City. Growing up to the influences of funk, reggae, and dancehall, Professor K started off as a DJ in the Bronx. Though his pirate radio station in NYC was extremely popular and a hit with the underground, Professor K eventually had to leave the States as his station attracted the attention of the feds. Deciding on a new place to turn up his beats, Professor K set his sights on Tokyo, seeing it as the freshest and laxest place he could go to. Knowing that Tokyo-to had the potential to be "one big dance party", Professor K then set up Jet Set Radio establish his sounds on the airwaves and his quest to keep the soul of the city alive. In addition to his disk jockeying and being the fly voice of Tokyo's underground, he helps gangsters and Rudies accomplish their tasks and use his radio station as a hideout. He eventually encounters the GG’s (Beat, Gum, and Tab) and assists them with their crimes and goals."
" Professor K is a quirky, upbeat, and a charismatic DJ who likes to narrate and, of course, being a DJ. He appears to have a high voice and likes to move his hands around as he speaks. He is always willing to help people in need, criminal or not, and is a close ally of the GG’s."

Excerpt from Pot's JetSetPedia page:
"In Jet Set Radio, Pots is the GG's dog. It is never stated who owned or found him initially. He is said to be mad because the GGs never take him for walks. Pots is a blue and white dog resembling a Boston Terrier with a yellow and purple striped bandana around his neck, as well as blue and red 3D glasses on his face. He also has a white patch of fur resembling a star on his back. While initially a normal dog."
(Voice is just a scrappy high-pitched dog. Pots also has an internal dialogue that matches his barks)
(Dog barks, growls, panting, etc.)
Well Tab, I wouldn't have to leave you "chocolate" surprises if you'd take me out for walks! (Growls) Honestly with THIS guy...

Excerpt from Love Shockers JetSetPedia page:
"The love shockers are a gang comprised entirely of women, best known for wearing an eyepatch in both games. Described by DJ Professor K, they are broken-hearted ladies out for vengeance, although it is never mentioned who they seek revenge against. The Love Shockers appear without warning in the Shibuya-Cho district (which belongs to the GG's) and begin taking it over, prompting the GG's to rush around and retake their territory from the group."
(Desne and Air Headed as all hell) Wait a minute... Isn’t that the girl who tagged your back after we rejected her from joining the gang?
(Clueless) Hey Tikomi, aren’t those the boys whose hearts we broke last week?

Excerpt from the Noise Tank JetSetPedia page:
"The Noise Tanks are a rival gang of tech-savvy Rudies. In Jet Set Radio, the Noise Tanks are described as a Rudie gang of technophile otaku who are big on not only computers but applied cybernetic augmentation, electrical engineering, cyberpunk aesthetic, and interest in transhumanism, aiming to one day become fused as man and machine, but they also pirate software. Within Tokyo-To, the Noise Tanks rule over the nighttime district Benten-Cho."
(Nerd-like voice)
Optional: Robotic Voice Modification
NT#1:[Proud] We’re the high speed, high tech, high rollers of these parts… We’re the "Noise Tanks"!
NT#2: [Cocky and being a total "yes man"] I think we fried his brain with our electric elegance, Unit 33!
NT#3: [Monotone] I thought it was pretty stale that time… [Sighs] I’m telling you, back when we had glitter bombs, THAT made an impact. This? This is just sad…
