Dragon Ball Abridged: Goku Time! Episode 2 Open Casting Call
Project Overview
This is an open call for the second episode of our passion project, an abridged series of Dragon Ball GT. Goku Time is labor of love and a celebration of Dragon Ball as a whole. It's a comedy focused primarily on character driven humor that isn't reliant on series knowledge. We strive to have characters pay homage to the source material and exaggerate them in a way to poke fun while still feeling like the character we know and love.
Our first episode released early March of 2020. Since then, the project has hit many roadblocks with things such as the pandemic, actor life changes, copyright battles, and the like. But now, we're back in full swing and prepared to get the series back on track. We've actually gotten brand new source footage and spent a lot of time cleaning it up.
Episode 1 can be viewed here.
A comparison of our old and new footage can be viewed here.
**Please note this video has been compressed for ease of upload.
This casting call is specifically for characters we need for episode 2 as the script for it is completed and it has been partially recorded. There will be additional casting calls later on for characters in future episodes!
Knowledge of the Dragon Ball Franchise isn't necessary to audition or even land a role. If you are cast in a role, we will ask that you watch a number of episodes involving your character in order to get a sense for who you're impersonating and how to bring that original personality to life with our script. Ways to watch these episodes can be provided if need be.
The audition lines we've picked have links to the original lines pulled from the show. We ask that you reenact those lines to the best of your ability, but feel free to be creative with your delivery if you feel it better suits your voice. We want the voices to be recognizable to anyone who watched the original show, but they don't need to be exact carbon copies in most cases. If you have an idea for a character that sounds nothing like the original, please give it a try! We're open to any and all Ideas.
AN IMPORTANT NOTE ON ROLE PAYMENT:CCC standard payments shown per role are not final. Rates will be discussed privately, agreed upon, and paid before any recording. This project is paid for entirely out of personal pocket and is a non-profit endeavor, but we want this show and its voices to be perfect, so we're willing to pay for the right voices on our roles.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask! We'd love to hear from you!

Goku has a lot of depth in GT. Trapped inside a kid's body, he revels in the challenge of his body's newfound limitations. But he still knows when to have fun and when to get serious. Goku is a silly dork, but one who loves his family. This role will see a lot of soft and tender voice work with his granddaughter, silly laughing, chuckling, and goofy antics, as well as loud screaming and yelling with his battles. Must be able to record yells with minimal peaking and echoing. This role is for more than just one episode and will lead to further work as we write more episodes and specials. If you land this role, expect frequent recordings and re-recordings as you are the sole focus of this show and will have the most lines (and the most yelling) by far. As this role is being recast, episode 1 lines will need to be recorded and replaced as well.
Full voice examples (feel free to put any in your audition, but please include a yell.):

General Rilldo is the "Big Bad" of episode 2 and will remain so until his defeat in episode 3. He's a big, cocky, evil muscle man who acts as though he's in charge of all his minions when really his higher up, Dr. Myuu, is the true ruler. He's a blow hard with a big voice that is very proud of his SIGMA FORCE. He'll be a fun role to play and will be very enjoyable in the short amount of time he's on screen. It is important to know that this character does a fair amount of fighting so whoever lands this role should expect a lot of yelling. Must be able to record yells with minimal peaking and echoing.

An important anchor to the show, Bulma is one of the few level headed people in Dragon Ball, and even moreso in our show. Bulma is a super genius who has it all. Smartest woman on Earth, Richest woman on Earth, but it doesn't go to her head. Having adventured with Goku all throughout her life, she's now happily retired doing whatever she feels like. She's has multiple voice actors over the years, and I've listed lines for both below. Take your pick and have fun with the delivery! The primary feel I'm looking for is a mature woman who's bold and confident. She's normally calm and collected, but can certainly fly off the handle if her crazy alien family acts up.

Gohan is Goku's oldest son. He's an adult now with a wife, a daughter, and a career. He's a family man and often plays the "straight man" archetype in conversation. His original voice is very iconic, for this role I'm looking for as similar of a voice to the original as possible, but don't let that deter you if you have a different take on the character! He's calm, in-control, very well read, and a very respectful person. But he's also a Saiyan! While he won't be yelling this episode, do expect to have to do some standard Dragon Ball screams in future episodes.
