Doki Doki Literature Club - Fandub!
Project Overview
Hi, Monika here! Welcome to the Literature Club! It's always been a dream of mine to make something special out of the things I love. Now that you're a club member, you can help me make that dream come true in this cute game, and welcome to the Doki Doki Literature Club Fandub!
Doki Doki Literature Club! (DDLC) is a 2017 freeware visual novel developed by American independent game studio Team Salvato for Microsoft Windows, macOS, and Linux. The game was initially distributed through itch.io, and later became available on Steam. The story is told from the perspective of a high school student who reluctantly joins the school's literature club on the insistence of his childhood best friend, and is given the option to romantically pursue three of its four female members. Doki Doki Literature Club! features a non-traditional plot structure with multiple endings and unlockable cutscenes with each of the main characters. Although the game initially appears to be a lighthearted dating simulator, it is in fact a horror game that extensively breaks the fourth wall.
This is a fandub of the original game, featuring both Acts 1 & 2. This is a medium term project that will require a decent amount of investment.
About me!
I'm a non-profit content creator making videos of anime or game fandubs, I currently direct one long term project: 'Project Sekai: A New Voice' and have directed or worked in countless projects in the past, now working on my next project, a full length dub of Doki Doki Literature Club!
About this project!
Quite simply, it will be a complete dub of Doki Doki Literature Club, following Sayori's route in Act 1 & Yuri's in Act 2. Natsuki's story will be covered in separate spin-off videos. I am to make it a professional sounding dub with it's own unique elements to make the watching experience more enjoyable, taking advantage of the video format instead of the original game format.
Rules!
- I expect clear mics with little background noise and no reverb. USB mics are totally fine, I will most likely be adding EQ and a couple of filters to your mics anyways.
- Please use as close to your natural voice as you can get! I don't want an overly cute voice for Sayori and Natsuki - Nor do I want a super forced deep and mature voice for Yuri. These characters are human, I want them to sound like natural humans.
- Please be 16 or above. This game is highly disturbing as it is a psychological horror. There are incredibly dark themes in this game.
- You must be able to conform to deadlines. If things don't go smoothly I can't run a project smoothly. You need to be able to meet the deadlines set. I won't be too harsh which is why I expect you to be able to submit on time.
- When you audition, please do a maximum of 3 takes per audition line. Minimum 2, I want to be able to hear how differently you can express lines and how good you are at hitting emotional beats.
With that all out of the way, have fun and good luck!

(Narration, passively annoyed) I see an annoying girl running toward me from the distance, waving her arms in the air like she's totally oblivious to any attention she might draw to herself.
(Observant into relaxed) I see...That's a pretty simple thing to get you in a good mood. But I guess it's always the simple things with you, anyway.
(Somewhat laughing to himself) Hey, Yuri... This might be a silly thought, but... The main character kind of reminds me of you a little bit.

(Presenting her writing tip of the day, she becomes awkward when she realizes it’s derailing) Sometimes you'll find yourself facing a difficult decision... When that happens, don't forget to save your game! You never know when you might change your mind... ..or when something unexpected may happen! Wait...is this tip even about writing? What am I even talking about? Ahaha! ...That's my advice for today! Thanks for listening~
(Pensive yet guilt tripping)I...guess I need to tell you the truth. The thing is... ...We don't have enough members yet to form an official club. We need four... And I've been trying really, really hard to find new members. And if we don't find one more before the festival...
(Nervously laughing it off) ...Oh...Oh... ... Ahahaha! Well, that's a shame. Wait, were you here the entire weekend? Oh, jeez... I didn't realize the script was broken that badly. I'm super sorry! It must have been pretty boring... I'll make it up to you, okay? Just gimme a sec...

(Concerned yet bossy)I was talking about how I'm worried that you won't learn how to socialize or have any skills before college. Your happiness is really important to me, you know! And I know you're happy now, but I'd die at the thought of you becoming a NEET in a few years because you're not used to the real world!
(Surprised, happy for her friend) Eh?? Monika chose the club over her boyfriend after all! You're so strong-willed!
(Bittersweet) You know ... It's nice that I get to spend time with you in the club. But I think seeing you get along with everyone is what makes me the happiest.

(Passionate, clear headed and fluent)I guess you could say that. But if a story makes me think, or takes me to another world, then I really can't put it down. Surreal horror is often very successful at changing the way you look at the world, if only for a brief moment.
(Snappy yet panicked) W-Wait! There’s a reason why we have such deep and expressive words in our language! It’s the only way to convey complex feelings and meaning the most effectively. Avoiding them is not only unnecessarily limiting yourself...it’s also a waste! You understand that, right?
(Retaliating against Natsuki, aggressive) See?? Just saying that proves my point! Most people learn to get over themselves after they graduate middle school, you know.

(Annoyed, mocking her friends) Like I could ever get my friends to read this... They just think manga is for kids. I can't even bring it up without them being all like... "Eh? You still haven't grown out of that yet?" Makes me want to punch them in the face...
(Boasting) Well everyone has their own opinion. But my opinion is the best opinion. I'm sure you've figured that out already.
(Ignorant, possessed) Whatever's on your mind, I'm sure it was nothing. I don't even remember anything bad happening. You're the kind of person who worried too much about the little things, aren't you?
