Death Note One-Shot MangaDub

Project Overview

This is a casting for Death Note One-Shot Mangadub! 


What is Death Note?

Death Note is originally an anime about a character by the name of light who does controversial acts that he thinks is justice with the death note. A death note is a book that grants the owners the ability to kill anybody just by writing the name of the victim, throughout the series, you see him find his way out of being accused of a killer in a intense chase to find who "Kira" (The man killing everyone with the death note). I wont spoil too much, but i highly recommend you watch the show to fully understand (And enjoy) the beauty that is Death Note.


The one that i am working on right now is a one shot that was made in late February and is a really great one-shot that i LOVE, but hate that it doesnt have voiceover. thats what i'm here for! I wont spoil anything about the one shot, but let's just say that the main character doesn't take the same approach as light, and perhaps does things for a more selfish reason. Read it!


The requirements when auditioning

First thing is first. High quality audio. an XLR microphone is highly recommended when auditioning, but USB's wont be dismissed as long as you can pull it off. but it makes a world of a difference if you have an XLR, and will greatly increase you chances of getting casted.


Second, (and this is the most important on the list) be committed to the project if/when you are casted. a person who isn't flexible with time is unacceptable, and i will have to recast if you happen to not show up when scheduled.  If you believe that you may have some family problems or things that take priority, please let me know in advance and we can always work something out in the end. however, the more free you schedule is, the less you will stress about getting in your files to me, and the more love you can put to those lines. (Lines need lovin')


Third. be communicative. We will have discord calls to have read throughs, and we will be filling a reading schedule that the cast will fill out after being casted. when filling out the schedule, make sure that it is 100% according to your availability (refer to the second rule) and that you can stick to it. its okay if you cant show up certain days and times, just make sure that you fill out that you cant show up. I'll be adding you to a discord with the Dr. Stone MangaDub Cast and integrate both casts to one big "Mycro's Voiceover casts" or something. 


Before you audition

Make sure that you are in a quite space and please eliminate any reverb that is in the room. if you're a beginner/novice, try to cover the corners of the room with anything you can find, and if you still have that problem, try handing a blanket underneath your microphone setup. I welcome beginners, so don't be shy! i want to see you grow as a voice actor. 

take deep breaths, be aware, be the character. set aside pain, frustration, your voice, an any outside troubles you are having. and perform the best you ever had. 




Good Luck! Can't wait to hear the many voices!

    Hey everyone! I'm just letting everyone know that I am alive! Due to this pandemic right now, I'm having a hard time focusing on several things at once.. I'm sure you all understand. HOWEVER casting is pretty soon! I'll have to extend the deadline by a little bit and then I will have interviews with those people I think are a good fit as part of my cast. I'll contact you ahead of time to see what is the best time for you. Make sure to dedicate at least a half hour for the interview. I'm looking forward to talking to you guys! Take care everyone!

  • Punctuation adjustment

    Hey all! Great auditions man, this is getting very exciting! I want to share that I made minor changed to the lines of Minoru and L and added some punctuations. After reading it over, it seems like a run on sentence so I changed that. You may re-submit if you'd like! just let me know its a re-audition
  • If you do get accepted

    I want to be able to hold an interview with you if you are accepted. i will ask you several questions, like what made you interested in being a part of the dub, and how you got into voice over. Stuff like that. Not only do i truly want to know these things but. i think this would be an interesting way of getting to know more about my cast when i have them part of my project. Thanks! And great auditions so far!

Minoru Tanaka

Unpaid
Role assigned to: deleted56344

Minoru is a diligent, soft spoken young man. He is a top student in Japan despite his lack of effort in school, and is not any special when it comes to personality. When given the Death Note, he is hesitant when Ryuk tell him to act just as Light Yagami did 10 years ago, and thinks that he can't try to become what light was. So he takes advantage of the notebook, and puts it up for auction and plans to sell it to the highest bidder disregarding the bidders intent with the notebook. The voice i'm looking for is a soft spoken medium voice with a sliver of edge. 

  • (Thinking, Curious) That's wild... So Kira actually made use of the rules about the note's possession, and the fact that touching the death note makes people see you.  all to his own advantage... he must've been really smart...

  • (Relaxed, Calm) Yeah, its up to nearly ten billion yen now. I'm trying not to pay too much attention to it. (Quieter, Realizing) Its going so well its kind of scary.

  • (Straightforward, Strict) You have to keep your word, whether human or Death God. Don't ever show up around me again, for any reason.

Ryuk

Unpaid
Role assigned to: Arkham

Ryuk is a shinigami from the shinigami world. He is very childish in his respect. He spends his days in the shinigami world bored, until one day he happens to sned his death note to the human world and later discovers how entertaining it is to see humans use his death note. The voice im looking for is a raspy, devilish medium-low voice. Don't hurt yourself with being raspy.

  • (Hungry, Hopeful)I could use this notebook to get some human food again. I'll need a real capable one like Light Yagami if i want to eat well for as long as possible... and it'll be more entertaining that way...

  • (Curious) But your teachers at school said you got first place three years running, that you're the smartest middle schooler in Japan..

  • (Lax) Thats a tricky question. Its not a firm rule. it probably works as long as i know where you are... or... wait.. I would have known even from the shinigami world.. so... i guess not..

L (Near)
open
Unpaid

Near is a successor of L from the previous anime. He along with l and Mello. He takes L's place for tracking down who the real Kira is, and later down the line tracks who the real Kira is. He possesses a different child-like trait than from L. he plays with toys labeled with names of investigators and suspects. The main ones being him, L, Mello and Kira. The voice im looking for is a childlike voice, even though he is 27. High-Medium or Medium. 

  • (Plainly, Stoic) Lets call whoever's putting the murder notebook up for auction, "A-Kira".

  • (doubtful, Thinking) However, its essentially impossible to find that footage from all the cameras in japan only using the help of people who can see the Shinigami.

  • (Curious, lax) When the entire world knows about it, that makes it much harder to just outright use the notebook. Besides.. isn't the more pressing issue at the moment how A-Kira will handle the transaction?

Matsuda

Unpaid
Role assigned to: Seth M

Matsuda's police skills are lacking in experience, and at times, particularly in the beginning of the series, he somewhat impedes the investigation process. Much to the irritation of his peers, his brash attitude can get him into tricky situations, as evidenced by the time he infiltrated Yotsuba and had to fake his own death to get out. (-Death Note Wiki) The voice im looking for is a medium voice, sounds like the average office worker, and when proven wrong to sound like a man-child

  • (Worried, in a rush)Deputy Commissioner, Ryuk is trying to sell the Death Note!

  • (Confronting) Police! Don't even think about trying to buy Kira's power!

  • (Nervous) Its true, i swear! its like a voodoo doll that curses people to death. if you have their picture and name...

He is a Shinigami, from what it looks like in the manga, it looks like he was trying to do the same thing Ryuk did with Light Yagami, but failed and returned Ryuks notebook to him. for his voice, im looking for something similar to ryuk, but much higher, and grosser (and phlegmy).   

  • I didn't succeed like you did, Ryuk. Want the notebook back?

Armonia is described as being a Shinigami that the Shinigami King places a great amount of trust in. Because of this, many other Shinigami often approach him for advice. (-Death Note Wiki) I'm looking for a similar voice to Ryuk, however, less raspy, and more ghoul. Medium Low.

    That thing about selling Kira's power isn't real right?

    Its a group, or in this case probably a nation. some governments having a proxy bid for them.
