Hey there all!
Back at it again with another fan-dub project, but this one is going to be a little different.
I'm working for someone who is wanting to create the BEST manga-dubs on YouTube. We're going to be dubbing a variety of mangas, and for that, we'll need versatile actors.
This project includes one VA role, but multiple people will be cast. The lines have been removed of any punctuation, because we want to see how you read these lines. Treat this as a demo reel. We'll need voices of all types since we're going to be dubbing a lot of potentially vastly different manga. So if you're good at like creature voices, read one as a creature voice. If you can do younger voices, show that off. Whatever makes you unique, show us that. The most creative auditions that showcase your decision-making and talent will be chosen. These lines can be read in any way you wish. There are no wrong reads. Whatever you want, do.
Speaking of which, if you have a demo reel, please by all means include that with your audition.
The way the channel will work is, once you are cast in this call, you're put in the talent pool, and we'll hold internal auditions to cast roles for mangas we're planning on dubbing in our Discord server. The amount of roles posted all depends on the manga we're dubbing, of course. Another thing of note, we do not know the frequency at which we will be dubbing. My boss wants to eventually get to the point where we can twice a week, but just starting out, we'll probably pump these out bi-weekly or so. Keep in mind though, that is only a guess and is subject to change depending on success of the channel, actor availability, etc.
This is a paid project. He will be paying every actor $8/min of finalized recording time. Again, dependent on the success of the channel, this is also subject to change, but do not go into this expecting that. He will have to pay through PayPal, so do also take note of that.
Your audio quality must be good. Please ensure that your space can handle loud sounds, not-so loud sounds, etc. Actors with bad mic quality will not be considered. You know it is bad mic quality if it sounds like a Zoom call. The editors will not be able to do much audio cleanup, if any, so please sound treat your recordings appropriately, and remove any background noise to the best of your ability. This includes mouth noises as well.
We are only accepting talent who are 18+! Please do not audition if you are a minor, as some of the mangas we will cover will be suggestive in nature. While I'm on that, if you are also just not okay with suggestive themes, while not all manga we cover will involve them, a lot will, probably. Nothing totally insane, but you know, anime. So if that sways you away from this project, I understand completely, and thank you for stopping by.
Lastly, this is technically a fan-dub project. Please do not audition unless you are okay with that. If you do not want your name associated with the project but still want to join and audition, we can leave your name out of the credits if you wish.
Thanks for taking the time to read through this essay, and break a leg!
