Chuunibyou | Official Fandub Series
Project Overview
STILL LOOKING FOR VOICE-ACTRESSES FOR GRANDMOTHER TAKANASHI & NANASE TSUKUMO!
Hi everyone, Josh here! So, by now you all know what Chuunibyou is right? Well, for those of you who don't I guess I can give a little explaination ^^
"High School freshman Yuuta Togashi was once a "chūnibyō patient" i.e. an overly self-conscious middle schooler. He wants to bury this embarrassing past and begins a new life in high school -- unsuccessfully. His classmate Rikka Takanashi, a "current" chūnibyō patient, has found traces of residual symptoms on him and used the fact to force Togashi in "making a contract" (dating) with her." - Chuunibyou Demo Koi go Shitai Wiki.
It follows the crazy adventures of them and their friends throughout the whole anime, with a very interesting plot and background story. The anime makes you happy, then makes you drown in your tears... and THEN makes you want to laugh again. A roller-coaster of emotions you might say.
It's a super funny, romantic anime while it's also filled with some pretty cool battle scenes. Definitely one of my favourite animes of all time. Since there is no Fandub series out there of Chuunibyou yet... let's make this one the first!
Chuunibyou consists of 13 episodes, each around 20 minutes long (Disregarding season 2).
By auditioning for a part, you're agreeing the the following terms;
1. You will stick with the project no matter how long it takes to finish.
2. You will take it professionally and seriously.
3. You have a good quality microphone and can record in an environment with none/next to no background music.
Don't be nervous to audition, I won't bite your head off! ^^ I'm a Voice-Actor too, I know how it feels. I encourage everyone to give it a go. You won't know unless you try.
Note: Please try to make yourself sound like the actual characters, whether that be from the English Dub or the original Japanese version! I also try to give the best constructive criticism I can in order to help you, so please don't be offended if I give you advise on your audition(s).

An old friend of Shinka Nibutani's. She knows of Shinka's old identity and uses it to dig at her. Her companion is Satō. An extra to the series.
A blunt, medium-toned accent would be good for her. Try to make her sound ike her English Dub but if not, that's alright.
(Judgemental) How old does that make you now? *smirks* Seven hundred and sixteen?
(Awkward) Errr... Satō, did you really do that?
The older sister of Rikka Takanshi. She has a serious demeanor in every situation, though she occasionally uses deadpan humor. She has absolutely zero tolerance for Rikka's, 8th grade syndrome, and often uses force and blackmail in order to dominate a situation. Her hobbies include cooking and posting embarrassing recordings online. Having no parents around, she takes on the role of caring for Rikka and behaves in a very strict manner. She is also allergic to cats.
A medium/monotone voice would suit her best. Try to make her sound like her English Dub as much as possible.
(Annoyed) Whose damn cat is that?
(Blunt) This "Eye of the Wicked Lord" crap has been going on too long. She's been doing the same thing since elementary school... it's getting old.
(Threatening) My hobbies include cooking and posting embarrassing recordings on to the internet. Get rid of the cat.
My apologies, this character has already been casted prior to the auditions.
Will be played by; SonicScarlet.

A very calm, solemn adult. She is shy, insecure and very saddened by the fact that she had to leave her daughters for 2 years in order to work. She promises Rikka that once her job is over, she'll move back and live with her again. Due to their families heart-breaking past, she's a very quiet woman.
A soft, low voice would suit her best. It would be great if you could try and make yourself sound like her English Dub.
(Concerned) Excuse me. Would Rikka Takanashi happen to be here? Do you know Rikka?
(Saddened) Is that so? In that case... here.
(Calm) *smiles* It's alright. I'll just go home now. My daughter... she still doesn't want to see me.
Sanae Dekomori is one of my all-time favourite anime characters! She's comedic gold, everytime she appears on screen I laugh and that's exactly what I want to hear from your audition. She is the loyal servant to the Eye of the Wicked Lord (Rikka). She will stand up for her friend regardless of the situation and what is placed in front of her. She surprisingly comes from a wealthy background and is a maths whizz. Sanae also has a love-hate relationship with Shinka. She does not believe that Shinka used to be the real Mori Summer and calls her "fake Mori Summer".
A high-pitched voice is a must for her. She's arrogant and confident, but not to the point where she's annoying. Always coming out with witty remarks, I value her existance highly so please do her proud in your audition xD Try and make her sound as close to the English Dub as possible please!
(Note: She often ends her sentences with the word "desu", likely due to the fact it sounds like the English word "death".)

(Proud) I am Agent of the Eye of the Wicked Lord, Rikka Takanashi's number one servant, the one who wields the Mjolnir Hammer - Sanae Dekomori!!! Rejoice for I have arrived!
(Bossy) You should introduce yourself before asking the same of someone else, desu. *smirks*
(Arrogant) Everyone knows that the more taboo something is, the more stimulating it is...
A very laid-back, relaxed young girl who enjoys nothing more than taking a good nap. Having been over-protected by her parents, she is a very sweet and innocent person. She can often be found carrying a pillow everywhere since she loves to take naps almost everywhere she goes. She always tries to support Rikka's delusions, depite her a lack of understanding. She is quite old fashioned in her dress sense, commented on by Shinka everytime the group goes on an outting. Surprisingly, Kumin enjoys scenes of violence and horror... She is the upper-classman of the rest.
A high-picthed, relaxed and gentle voice would suit her perfectly! Try and make yourself sound like her English Dub as much as possible.
Basic voice reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ceECyOy-oYU
(Happy) I'm Kumin Tsuyuri, nice to meet you!
(Kind) A sunny day is the perfect weather for napping!
(Sweet) Do you nap? Huh? It's nice.
Ms. Tsukumo is the homeroomm Teacher for Yuuta, Rikka, Shinka and Makoto's class. She is very passive and cares deeply for her students. She is fair among all her students and punishes those that make mistakes. She has a relaxed, professional and kind personality.
A high-pitched voice would suit her best. Try to make her sound like her English Dub as much as possible please. If you can't, then that's alright.
(Kind) Mr. Togashi? A moment please.
(Informative) Takanashi just moved here, so she doesn't know the area too well.
(Happy) Togashi, why don't the two of you walk home together?
Upon enrolling into high school, Shinka became the freshman representative. She is always polite in public, keeping up a professional and sweet persona, but when she is alone with her club mates she reveals that her personality is a bit more bitter and easily irritable. Like Yuuta, she is a cured "Chuunibyou" patient and tries to keep her embarrassing past hidden from the public eye in order to fit in. Despite her flaws, she's genuinely a kind-hearted person who loves and cares about her friends and she will help them if necessary. She is a cheerleader in school and is very popular among both genders due to her personality and attractiveness.
A high-pitched voice would be great! Her expressions range from "fangirl" to "irritable". Try to make yourself sound like her English Dub as much as possible please.

(Bossy) No one's gonna believe just a bunch of words. You gotta take responsibility for your actions.
(Sympathetic, soft tone) I think that maybe everyone has some kind of "syndrome", you know? But I think we were just caught up in our own ideas of what a "normal" high schooler should be.
(Embarrassed) Sorry, I know it's kinda sudden... It's embarrassing, so I'll only say it one time. *fangirls* L-O-V-E!!!
The Grandmother of the Takanashi sisters. She's a very welcoming, humble old lady who takes in Rikka and her friends during the Summer holidays. She lives with her husband in a big country house close to the beach. She is capable of accepting Rikka, her lifestyle choice and her friends with open arms.
A kind, calm, soft and welcoming tone to her voice would be perfect! A high-pitched, typical old lady voice. I'm also very lienient with this character, as long as your audition sounds as natural as possible then I'm happy!
(Welcoming) Hello, hello! Come on in, make yourself at home.
(Annoyed) Stop it. As long as she's happy that's all that matters.
(Grateful) Why thank you dear, my home is your home.
An old friend of Shinka Nibutani's. She knows of Shinka's old identity and uses it to dig at her. Her companion is Suzuki. An extra to the series.
A sarcastic, high-pitched voice would be great for her! Again, try to make yourself sound like her English Dub. If not, then that's cool.
(Cunning) If it isn't Mori Summer! *fake smile*
(Sarcastic) Still taking to spirits? ^^
(Judgemental) Did you really do that? *chuckles*
The Grandfather of the Takanashi sisters. Being very old fashioned and stubborn, he does not agree with nor support Rikka's lifestyle choice. He's cold, harsh and strict.
A husky, deep voice would be perfect for this character! He does not appear in many episodes but a role is still a role so give it your all! Whether you try to make him sound like his English Dub or his Japanese version, both accents are acceptable.
(Annoyed) I thought she would have grown out of that by now.
(Strict) *grunts* It's so immature. She needs to grow up.
I need a guy as extra voice. There are no requirements really. I need you for the scene where Makoto confesses to creating the "Hottest girl in class" poll. When saying the lines, act nervous, worried and scared. You may be an extra but your lines are important so I need you to express as much emotion as possible.
I'll accept any accent/tone for an extra, but do take into account that a lot of the guys in class are a bit geeky so if you could pull that off you'll definitely get the part xD
*Jumps up when name is announced and almost falls off chair in the process*
Y-Yes?!
*Shouts* I DON'T RECALL!
*Scared & Stuttery* Ohh... No, um...
Kuzuha is quite mature for her age. She may only be 13, but she knows how to deal with "Chuunibyou paitents" and always helps with the chores around the house. She has a talent for cooking noodles. She often likes to make Yuuta uncomfortable by bringing up old memories of him as a victim of Chuunibyou in front of his friends and family. She has a dry sense of humour and is the type of sister to never really get excited over anything.
A high-pitched voice would suit her best! Any audition that sounds like her English Dub will be highly considered when judging who gets the role.
(Confused) Huh? What's all this junk?
(Blunt) When you bought this, didn't you say something embarrassing like,
*deep, "demonic" accent* NOW THE WORLD IS MINE!
(Awkward) Calm down. Uhh, I'll go get us some food~ okay?
Yumeha has probably one of the most kawaii sounding voices I have ever heard in an anime. She has a sweet, bubbly and positive attitude and couldn't hurt a fly, even if she wanted to. She innocently likes to torment her older brother, making her cute and adorable. She also develops a good relationship with Tōka Takanahi, and can often be found playing hilarious "dolly" games with her.
High-pitched, but not to the extent where she's annoying to listen to. She sounds so kawaii she's probably capable of melting a fangirl's brain. I'm excited to see how people audition for this role xD
(Kawaii[Cute]/Childish) DISAPPEAARR! Hahaha!
(Happy) It's rweary cool!!
(Happy) Hehe, Yuuta!
Your typical caring Mother. Both sweet, kind and funny, she tries to provide for her family as much as she can by working night-shifts. With her husband working away, she has to take care of 3 children by herself, a job she handles pretty well.
A high-pitched voice would suit her perfectly! It would be great if you could try to make her sound as close to her English Dub as possible please, but if not it's okay. As sweet and caring as she may be, she also has a dry sense of humour and finds it funny to help Kuzuha resurface Yuuta's embarrassing past in front of his new friends.
(Surpised) Oh my! You're Ms. Takanashi's little sister? You're both so pretty!
(Sly) Yuuta, you better keep an eye on her. *winks*
(Happy) I remember in elementary school you had quite the imagination.

Rikka Takanashi, also referred to as Eye of the Wicked Lord, is the main protagonist along with Yuuta Togashi. She has a severe case of "Chuunibyou" and can't diffrentiate delusions from reality. She has a very touching background story. From the very beginning she develops a crush on Yuuta without even realising. She is so succumb to Chuunibyou she doesn't even know what is love. She is a kind and happy teen, yet can be very stubborn and serious when discussing her Chuunibyou and delusions. She has much respect for everyone in her circle of friends.
A high-pitched voice would suit her best! She can get very blunt and emotional at times too so consider that when auditioning. I have a different outlook on what I am looking for in her audition than I am with the others. Try to make her sound more like the Japanese version of herself.
(Mysterious) Yes, you and I have known each other since Ancient times long passed. The moment I saw you, the Eye of the Wicked Lord revealed the tale of our karmic fate.
(Happy) It's really cool right!! If you put that on your back, it would be perfect!
(Upset) It matters. So... please don't throw it away.
