Elden Ring Motion Manga Dub
Project Overview
Call to arms to all volunteer VAs and maidenless Elden Ring geeks interested in a comedy/parody series!
INTRODUCTION
I'm looking to put together a dub of the official Elden Ring manga presented in motion-comic form. Above is a quick little proof-of-concept I threw together to demonstrate the tone I'm going for; the VA could be you though!
WHO AM I:
Just a passionate independent creative who loves making videos. I've done a little bit of everything over the years: music, memes, short films, video essays etc. Here's two of my YouTube channels for those who wanna know more about what I've made in the past
Nevan Dove - YouTube - Music I've composed, and home to my first short film
Smaller Soul - YouTube - Be wary of cringe: meme edits I've made relating to the show RWBY (sorry)
WHAT TO EXPECT:
This is a volunteer project strictly for fun, which means I'm building a light-hearted team. As for commitment, deadlines won't be strict and meetings/rehearsals will happen whenever you're free. The manga is still running, so future auditions may happen! And if you're cast, you're free to try for any future roles as well!
REQUIREMENTS:
- We're going to be using a Discord server, so you're gonna need an account of course
- A good microphone with controlled room acoustics (blankets and closets are great if you don't have a booth, just dampen that reverb!)
- Little-to-no background noise in recordings -- try and avoid picking up your air conditioners, beefy gaming PC's and family pets in your takes
- Willingness to let loose and have fun with the project! It's a parody show after all, no reason to take it all too seriously
- Acquire a maiden (optional)
Happy auditioning, fellow tarnished warriors!

Latest Updates
-
Some new chapters have released since this Casting Call has gone live, so the cast will be expanded after the due date. Even if you don't get selected for round 1, keep an eye on this page as new characters get added to the cast! The plan is to publish each chapter of the manga as its own video on YouTube, ideally weekly/fortnightly. Casting calls for new characters will appear on this page at a minimum 2 weeks before their scheduled appearance in the dub. Thanks again for all your submissions up until now!

Thank you!
I just wanted to thank you all for your submissions! I've been having so much fun going through all your auditions over the past few days. Certainly wasn't expecting such a great response to the call so immediately, and suffice it to say my motivation's through the roof. Let's do this thing! ❤️
The under-dressed, over-enthusiastic tarnished failure who unexpectedly got roped into an adventure of which he knows not the significance. Energetic and positive much of the time, but quick to complain, slow to listen, and frequently killed.
[Over-eager] "Anyways, sounds like we'll be together for a while. We may as well get to know each other! You're name's Melina, right? Can I call you Mel?"
[Angry and whiney] "Heeey! Our convo was totally leading to a strength build!! What the hell!!"
[Contemplative and curious] "She's looking for her purpose...? Did she lose her memory just like me?"
Melina, the mysterious and gentle maiden who guides Aseo on his journey -- or rather is forced to by sheer chance (and the opinions of her horse). Generally polite, occasionally with an undertone of annoyance and sarcasm.
[Softspoken and mysterious] "You will learn the ways of this world in due course. For now, follow the guidance of grace."
[Informative, but gently sarcastic] "In any case, you seem like a dimwit...so I put all your points in intelligence."
[Questioning and mildly annoyed] "Are you sure this is the one Torrent? He doesn't seem very lordly to me. More like...an underwear mannequin someone threw out."
Limgrave's very own tour guide -- if the tour guide teases your for being maidenless moments before informing you on the pointlessness of your adventure
[Proper and polite, with an undertone of gleeful snobbery] "Unfortunately for you, you are maidenless. Without guidance, without the strength of runes, without an invitation to the roundtable hold. You're fated, it seems, to die in obscurity!"
[Spooked at having a bat swung at his head] "What are you doing?? Please calm down and listen all the way to the end this time."
[Making fun small talk with Aseo even though he's about to be killed by a tree sentinel] "Oh hello again! Would you like some Rowa Raisins? Horses love them you know."
Outwardly confident, but cowardly and traitorous in truth. Makes others do his bidding to save himself the effort, and isn't afraid to casually kick you off a cliff to accomplish his goals (perhaps more than once)
[Commanding and drill Seargent-like] "Listen up louts!! Snatch up everything you can! Show no mercy! I don't care if they're tarnished, demi-human, or demi-gods!"
[Self-righteous and bickering] "Quit your sniveling and get back to work! And do it right! Remember how I took you in, in your time of need!"
[Alluring and friendly with the intention of betreyal] "Oh hello there! You're in need of help, aren't you? Follow me! It's perfectly alright."
The intimidating demigod commanding his subjects at Stormveil castle. Feared by many -- especially those who've been woven into his body -- but rather picky about the design of his "graftings" in an attempt to appear trendy.
[Putting on a gruff voice to sound intimidating and lordly] "A lowly tarnished? Playing for a lord? I command thee KNEEL!"
[Snobbery as an attempt to critique a design] "If I can give you like, some advice? Design's about taking away so it looks like you're adding. And you need, like, balance? Or else it'll be all over the place and nobody's gonna get what you're going for."
[Encouraging his subjects] "Let's make the next grafting something we can ALL be proud of! So, you know...bring the next tarnished back alive, 'kay?"
Gatekeeper at Stormveil castle at the behest of Godrick. Zombie-like and ghoulish in tone. Terrified he'll be "grafted" should he step out of line
[Presenting works of "art" to Godrick, sales pitch] "These are the latest graftings. Um, quite a lineup this month, I'd say."
[Trying to please Godrick by appearing outwardly confident, but internally has no idea what he's on about] "Yes! You said it milord! (Quietly to himself) What the hell do you even have in mind!?"
[Terrified for his life] "Have we finally outlived our usefulness?? Will we all be...grafted?!"
The noble narrator who introduces the show and uh...narrates all the narration boxes. Think overpaid narrator for a stupid cartoon that nobody's going to watch
[Dramatic and somber] "The fallen leaves tell a story. The great Elden Ring was shattered. In our home, across the fog, the lands between."
[Noble and stoic, increasingly energetic] "The ever-brilliant Goldmask. Fia, the Deathbed Companion. The loathsome Dung Eater. And Sir Gideon Ofnir, the all-knowing!
[Energized, and bright] "And so...our hero's journey to the Erdtree begins!!! To be continued..."
