Hello! You may have seen a couple of my projects for Guilty Gear: Strive pop up every now & again, primarily asking for female voice talent to voice genderbends of existing male characters in that game, to go with a few mods accomplishing the same thing, but visually only! This time, I'd like to propose a different kind of project entirely, & that's the creation of an English (fan)dub for the newly released fighting game in Arc System Works' 3D library: DNF Duel.
The main catch for this compared to my previous projects however, is that it is going to solely be a fun passion project & a bit of a challenge for myself to see if I can manage several of these sorts of castings all at once, do some rough translating where needed, & present everything in a similar amount of quality as my previous projects; Both for auditionees & for those who are interested in the possible final result! As such, this project is not going to be funded whatsoever. In other words, this is NOT a paid gig, & as such, I welcome everyone of all sorts to audition if they want to give things a shot! There's a wide variety of characters as well, so I think it'll be fun to see all sorts of different voice talent for completely different roles & characters!
This will also be a much more "long-term" project for me. My previous projects all had a 4~5 week turnover— 2 weeks for the casting call, 2~3 weeks working with the cast auditionee, & then finalizing everything into a finished product afterwards. Given how much work is to be done for something of this scale, & that it's not being funded, I'm going to give this about a 3-month period. It should be noted, however, that casting can end prematurely, if suitable voice talents are found for all the given roles. After that, whatever happens, happens, as far as how long it'll take afterwards! I won't be setting deadlines for anyone who wants to participate to make sure it's mostly a fun & lax experience for everyone involved. I still want everyone to try their best, though!
As usual, here's a few specifics (guidelines?), so you know what you're getting into!
- This game has a story mode & arcade mode for each playable character, but this is still a fighting game! Anime-esque shouts, grunts, screams maybe, & similar are to be expected!
- Being a fluent English speaker is very preferred!
- Your microphone should be of a decent quality; I know I can't ask for a lot considering this is a free project, but your microphone should at least be noise/static-free!
- Normally I'd say to expect retakes to be asked for if necessary, but again, free project! I'll only ask for retakes if necessary if you'd want to do so; Otherwise I'm fine working with what I get. (Exception would be missing lines)
- Being comfortable with your provided voice being used & published in either a downloadable modification for the game, showcase/full-cutscene "movie" videos, & maybe both!
- Most common audio formats are fine, but .wav & .ogg are preferred! Also feel free to organize your files however you please if you are cast for a role, I will handle most of the editing in every aspect.
- Let me know your preferred method of communication in your audition so that it's easy to contact you if you are cast for the role you audition for!
If you have any questions, concerns, or additional comments, don't hesitate to contact me here! I can be reached via e-mail, Discord, or through a message on this site as well. Ask me for the first two if you wish to contact me via those methods! (This does not apply to auditionees)
Also, anyone is more than welcome to audition for multiple roles!
That's about all there is to say about this project; I will be working in the background to organize spreadsheets similar to my other projects for those who end up being cast, so stay tuned!
