A Chrono Trigger Fandub: Project Time Egg!

Project Overview

We love Chrono Trigger, and we've always wondered what a voiced version of the game might sound like! Project Time Egg is a non-profit fandub of Chrono Trigger that is entirely for fun and entertainment purposes. We are currently taking auditions for nearly every role in the game!

IMPORTANT TO NOTE: This fandub will be using the updated DS script for the game as it is closer to the original Japanese translation. We will also be adapting the decisions of resurrecting Crono, recruiting Magus, and defeating Lavos via the Black Omen as we feel it offers the most complete package.

The goal of this fandub is to produce a voiced version of Chrono Trigger that is as faithful to the spirit of the game as possible. We plan to edit footage of the game in a way that improves the pacing of dialogue and focuses mainly on the important plot beats. The final result will be an abridged version of the game which we hope will encompass the entirety of the game's main story. Additional, albeit very short, original lines will also be written for combat and transitional scenes.

This project is currently NOT PAID. We believe in being very transparent about that. Deadlines will be lenient and all work will be done remotely. Communication will be done through our Discord channel. Upon releasing a new script, we'll communicate with you to make sure you fully understand your lines. But don't stress it. This is a casual, fun project for fans of Chrono Trigger who want to show the greatest game of all time some love!

At the moment, there is no hard schedule for release dates, but the series will be divided into individual episodes on Youtube, and published on a finish-by-finish basis. We aren't just voicing the game, we are editing too! After voice roles are chosen, we'll direct you over to our Discord channel where we will post the scripts for each episode and help work with you to make submissions as easy as possible!

Please make sure your submissions are of decent quality, with no background noise, heavy plosives, or tinny pitch. In terms of accents, go ahead and try whatever you feel would fit best! We've included some suggestions as well.

We're really excited to get this project underway, and to hear all of our auditions! If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to @ChronoKatie on Twitter, or in project DMs right here on Casting Call. Best of luck, Nu friends!

Crono

Unpaid
Role assigned to: Blazing Ace Nelson

Crono is the main protagonist of our game, and like many RPGs of the past, he is a mute. However, in order to maintain a nice flow to the game's script, we'll be adding several grunts, breaths, and other noises from Crono, especially in combat. He also responds to prompts often in the game with dialogue. These brief responses may also be voiced. This is a more simple role, which only requires a few sounds, and short responses. 

Voice description:
  • energetic
  • male young adult
  • male teen
  • youthful
  • animated
  • protagonist vibes
  • Submit your best combat sounds, such as battle cries, grunts, breaths and attack names.

  • What are you two doing? I thought you said something about a nice little slideshow?

Marle is a care-free, energetic, and optimistic girl with a chip on her shoulder. Sometimes naive to a fault, she acts as the group's conscience and keeps their hopes up. She is bubbly and caring but is concealing a secret that she is trying desperately to run away from. 


We know Marle is cute, and girly, but she may have a bit of posh to her given her princess status. It's up to you!

  • (emotional) I couldn't see or feel anything, but I knew I was some place cold. I wonder if that's what it's like to die.

  • But you-You're incredible! I'd trade my name for your genius in a heartbeat!

Lucca Ashtear

Unpaid
Role assigned to: Ublivius

No one has the smarts quite like Lucca! This nerdy, confident scientist is the best friend of Crono, and creates the device that kicks off Chrono Trigger's entire plot. While Lucca projects an air of confidence about her, she is clearly insecure about certain things. A dark past haunts her, and her inability to mingle well with other humans casts doubt on her actions. Machines mean a great deal to her. To her, robots are just as human, if not moreso, than humans themselves. 


Lucca's voice would likely have a degree of maturity to it, with a nerdy stereotype such as a nasally voice or somewhat know-it-all demeanor. 

Voice description:
  • female adult
  • female teen
  • female young adult
  • nerdy
  • a bit sassy
  • Curious
  • confident
  • young
  • perhaps a tad nasally (optional)
  • somewhat introverted
  • I was wondering when you'd show up! No one wants to try my telpod. Would you be so kind?

  • (sassy/Rescuing a friend from execution) Sorry, but you're sorta in the way. Light's out, boys!

  • (passionate response to a scared Marle) I'll make sure it doesn't. Robots don't attack of their own free will, you know?

Frog (Glenn)

Role assigned to: Doctor_Throwback

A royal knight in the Guardia army, Glenn was once a human, and best friend to the legendary Sir Cyrus. A tragic backstory resulted in his transformation into a frog, and Glenn seeks every day to amend his past mistakes and achieve redemption. But is he still worthy? Does he deserve to call himself a knight? Frog must overcome his grief and inner turmoil in order to put a stop to a great threat, and ultimately, make his deceased friend proud. 


We are open to various interpretations for Frog's voice! Some believe he'd have a commanding and deeper voice given all he has been through, while others see Glenn's petite stature when he was a human giving him a younger tone. 

Voice description:
  • male adult
  • all english accents
  • stoic
  • strong
  • male young adult
  • Melancholic
  • Proper
  • astute
  • Noble

  • (Resolved and triumphant) My name is Glenn! Long have I carried Cyrus's hopes and dreams, and now I bear the Masamune as well.

  • (At peace, responding to a villain) Well enough. I owe you my gratitude. This form has been a blessing in disguise

  • (shaken) I must ponder this turn of events. You may remain here for the night .

Robo (Prometheus)

Role assigned to: DjHadoken

In the distant and desolate future, a lone robot awaits rebooting. Robo is dependable, polite, strong and will fulfill his programming no matter the cost. He becomes especially close with Lucca, as he further proves to her that machines can have a heart, in a sense. Robo is pure in every sense of the word. There is no one more reliable. 


For Robo's voice, we are looking for something that sounds mechanical and processed, but not to a point that it becomes grating for listeners. Try to achieve a balance between robotic and somewhat human! 

Voice description:
  • male adult
  • male young adult
  • robotic
  • Logical
  • warm

  • Naive
  • Loyal
  • robotic
  • Understood! Madame Lucca restored my circuits.

  • (declining a request) That manner of address could potentially cause offense. I am incapable of offensive speech

Ayla

Role assigned to: kittyhatemachine

In prehistoric times, there existed a tribe dedicated to survival and victory over the malevolent dinosaur race. Ayla is the strong, fiery, and fearless leader of that tribe. She does not let anyone stop her from her goals. Ayla will tell you exactly what she wants, and she may have to be a bit mean about it. But beyond that, she has a huge heart, and is much smarter than one might think for a primitive human. Much of the journey of Chrono Trigger is simply a fun ride for her. She doesn't have to understand exactly what is going on.


For Ayla's voice, we are looking for something that sounds tough and a tad butch, but with a feminine touch. 

Voice description:
  • strong
  • motherly
  • female adult
  • proud
  • female young adult
  • cave woman
  • Blunt
  • Sassy

Magus (Janus)

Role assigned to: WMK01

Magus serves as Chrono Trigger's primary antagonist for a decent length of the game! He is stoic, fierce, and vicious, but ultimately, macabre. Think Dracula, and you've got the right idea! Although Magus may appear to be pure evil, deep down there is a profound sadness and sense of grief linked to his tragic past. He is one of Chrono Trigger's deepest characters. 


We see his voice as having that Liam O' Brien Illidan Stormrage vibe, or perhaps even a deeper Richard Epcar tone. 

Voice description:
  • gloomy
  • male adult
  • Melancholic
  • stoic
  • vicious
  • macabre

  • Arrogant

  • (responding to a request by his assistant) Very well. No act of disobedience goes unpunished.

  • (Cannot believe what they are up against) Unimaginable is the power of Lavos. Anyone who dares to oppose it... meets certain doom. At this rate, you too, will meet a hideous fate.

  • (preparing for a decisive battle) If history is to change, let it change. If the world is to be destroyed, let it be destroyed. If my fate is to die, I must simply laugh

While many in the kingdom of Zeal look down upon the primitives who are not gifted with magic, lady Schala is the kind-hearted exception. As princess and daughter to the evil Queen Zeal, she struggles desperately to save her mother's soul and secure a future for her people and for those who live on the ground level. Schala is selfless, gentle, kind and beautiful.

Melchior is one of three gurus who aids Crono and friends on their journey. He is the guru of life. Although there isn't much of a personality to draw from, he seems to be very curious about things he does not understand. He is assumedly very scholarly and extremely intelligent. Perhaps a bit jolly too.

Voice description:

  • Curious
  • a touch of youthfullness
  • Jolly
  • smart

  • (surprised) Dear me, you truly found dream stone! Yes, that will do quite nicely. With this, I can make the blade whole again.

Gaspar is another one of the 3 gurus. He is the guru of time. Gaspar lives a life of solitude at the end of time itself.

  • (with a touch of optimism) It is a bleak place isn't it? But not to worry. For all its desolation, it is well connected. There are roads here to any time you could ever wish to visit.

  • (consoling a sad group) Ah yes, to break death's hold over one you hold dear still. You are not the first to wish such a thing, nor will you be the last.

Dalton

If Chrono Trigger has a meme character, this is it! Dalton is a bumbling, overconfident and somewhat klutzy fool who despite all of this, manages to sometimes get the job done. He serves as an assistant to the evil Queen Zeal, one of the game's primary antagonists. Dalton appears as a thorn in the party's side at several moments and is rarely taken seriously. But that won't stop him from trying! 


We picture something similar to Beauty and the Beast's Gaston

Voice description:

Azala is the leader of the reptiles, and Ayla's arch-nemesis. She is cold, calculating and her intelligence gives her an advantage over the primitive apes. Azala sees her people as the rightful rulers of the world, and is unwilling to let them be phased out by the next generation of species. She may appear nothing but ruthless, but deep down, she adores her species, and is fighting desperately to stay alive.

Kino

Kino has a big heart, but not as big of a brain. Serving as Ayla's love interest, he often gets himself into trouble that she has to fix. He wants what is best for his people, but his naivety and childishness can get in the way of that. 


Much like Ayla, we are looking for something that sounds primitive. Something that sounds like a cave man, if that makes sense.

Role assigned to: the Well-Red Mage

A fun role if ever there was one! Ozzie is Magus' henchman and is arrogant, cruel and ultimately, a bit cowardly. He is the bumbling antagonist who constantly shoots himself in the foot. If he does have one positive trait, however, it's his loyalty to Magus, and the goal of summoning Lavos.

Flea is one of Magus' servants. They are flamboyant, radiant, and elegant. Flea loves themself so much that they go beyond identifying as one gender or another. They are simply too beautiful to put a label on it. Power is sexy, and that's all they need to know. 


Flea could be seen as Chrono Trigger's one LGBT+ character (besides perhaps Ayla), and as such, we want to make sure we represent them properly. We are interested in your own interpretation of the character, and any suggestions you have!
