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!
