MCU Abridged || Iron Man (FOUR OPEN ROLES!)
Project Overview
"There was an idea to bring together a group of remarkable people. It's a damn shame that we got the most basic bitches instead. This is their story."
Welcome to MCU Abridged!
This is going to be a long project, one spanning over twenty-two videos. MCU Abridged is an abridged series of every MCU movie to date! I plan on releasing them in the order they came out in, not chronologically! This project will be huge, spanning over 100+ voice actors. It is purely fan-made. No profits will be made from it! This is a project by the fans, for the fans! The rating I'm aiming for is around a borderline PG-13 to almost an R rating. The R would come from the amount of profanity. It isn't going to dominate the space, but it'll be there.
I will be looking for the top of the line and high-quality voices! If you want in, bring your Endgame.
Some requirements to join!
1. No background noise at all and have a great quality microphone! Audacity and Adobe Auditon have some great tools to remove static from your audio files! I need you to have a great-sounding microphone so it sounds natural in the video.
2. Act! Voice acting is still acting. Give it your all!
3. Be okay with using profanity. I won't be using it like crazy, but it'll show up. If you can't handle it, then please don't audition!
Here is the list of abridged videos and their order.
4. Always be ready! This will take a LONG time to fully completed. Like, a REALLY FUCKING LONG TIME. Only join if you can make a long commitment to this project. It could take a year to get just 11 episodes out, maybe even longer. Once you're cast, I expect you to stay until the End(game).
5. Have a Discord! This is an absolute must! Even if I adore your audition, if you don't have one, it's a no-fly zone for you. I will have a server for this project and it will be the main form of communication between me and yourself about the project.
That's it! Hope everyone has a great time! :)
Since this is abridged, I'm not aiming for everyone to sound EXACTLY the same, but if you can make it sound as close as possible, it adds to the immersion!
Thank you!

Hey all! Just an update! Casting will be completed by tomorrow for the first episode of the series, IRON MAN. I will make a new casting call in the coming weeks for the next episode, THE INCREDIBLE HULK. If you didn't get a role this time, keep an eye out! There will always be a spot to join in somehow! If anyone could audition for Ho Yinsen, I'd greatly appreciate it! Thank you! :)

Episode 1: Iron Man (Status Update #1)
Alright, update! The first episode will be Iron Man. Casting for MINOR characters will be cast on Thursday, June 27th. Casting for SUPPORTING characters will be cast on Friday, June 28th. And finally, casting for LEAD characters will be cast on Sunday, June 30th. The deadline for the Iron Man episode casting, in general, is Monday, July 1st. I have the extra day just in case I need to fill an extra slot or two and to get everyone on board before I close the roles and open more of them later on. Q: When will all casting be complete? A: For the first episode (Iron Man), casting will be complete by Monday, July 1st. Q: How long will each episode be? A: Aiming for around 30 minutes a piece. May vary based on each episode and its content. Q: When will the first episode be posted? A: According to the tentative schedule, the episode will be posted between August 1st - 15th. I'm holding it back to start so I and my team can get a head-start on other episodes so they come out monthly. Q: I wanna voice ___, but they're not open for casting. What do I do? A: Shoot me an audition via DM and I'll review it. If I think it fits, you will be placed on "The Index." The Index is a watch-list for voice actors who wanna help out later, but can't now due to the role not needing to be filled. All members who voice and are on the index MUST have a Discord for being able to receive and relay information. No Discord, no Index. Q: How else can I help? A: Share! The next best thing to participating yourself is to share the project! I'd love for this to take off and become something huge! You can help do that, one share at a time! Any other questions? Let me know!
You get to help me! Send me a demo of your work and I'll pick it by the 15th of July! Thanks! :)
You must use either
- Adobe After Effects
OR
- Sony Vegas Pro (14+)
Say something you think would fit
Funny enough, I have to write, edit, voice, and manage all of this. Having a co-writer would definitely lighten my load! Send me your work and I'll choose on the 15th of July. Thanks! :)
Some things:
1. 16+ only, please. I want you to take this seriously. (Even if the script can get a bit crazy at times.)
2. No fanfic like works for submission. I want your raw writing only.
That's it!
Say something you think would fit
Good ol' Tony Stark! I'm aiming for Tony to sound mostly the same, but be sure to put your own spin on it as well! He will be the main center of attention. If you get to be him, you will be one of my elite six. I expect my elite six to stick with this for the years to come. Not much else can be said for him. Give it your all!
(Tony Stark Voice) "There is no version of this where you come out on top.
(Iron Man Voice) "I have a plan, attack."
(Tony Stark Voice) "My father made that shield. You don't deserve it!"
(Iron Man Voice) "Stay down. Final warning."
(Tony Stark Voice) "And I...am...Iron Man."
(Iron Man Voice) "Kid, that's the wizard."
Pepper Potts, the main support for Tony. I have big plans for her in this ongoing series! With Tony, I aim for her voice to be about the same, with just a bit of resistance to her voice. Brainstorm and impress!
"Boss, are you sure about this?"
"Tony - trying to get you to stop, had been one of the failures of my entire life."
"You're going to kill yourself, Tony. I'm not going to be a part of it."
Happy, Happy, Happy. Really underrated in my opinion! I aim for his voice to be NEAR IDENTICAL! Little to no changes! Not much else can be said for him!
"Call for a press conference? What on earth for?"
"We just gotta load up Tony's old Hulkbuster armor, a prototype for Cap's new shield and the Meg..me..megin... Thor's magic belt."
"I'll get you all the cheeseburgers you want."
IMPORTANT NOTE!
Due to our recording method (Masking the actual actor's lips onto the character in editing), we do require our voice actor for Rhodey to be of the same descent as Rhodey or similar enough. We do not want to misrepresent this character in any way, so we please ask that you only audition for Rhodey or any other POC character if you are representative of that race/heritage. Thank you so much!
Rhodey will be a bit different! I want him to be much more prevalent than he already is. I'd like the voice to be around the same, but with a comedic flair to the voice. That's about it!
(Rhodey Voice): "Oh man, you can have your suit back."
(War Machine Voice): "Drop it, Tony!"
(Rhodey Voice): "Yeah, it's called being a badass!"
(War Machine Voice): "Tony, I swear, I'm going to blow his face off."
(Rhodey Voice): "If you want this suit, you're going to have to pry my cold dead body out of it."
(War Machine Voice): "'WAR MACHINE ROX' with an 'X,' all caps...Yeah, okay."
IMPORTANT NOTE!
Due to our recording method (Masking the actual actor's lips onto the character in editing), we do require our voice actor for Nick to be of the same descent as NIck or similar enough. We do not want to misrepresent this character in any way, so we please ask that you only audition for Nick or any other POC character if you are representative of that race/heritage. Thank you so much!
Nick. Whew. THIS. This one will be big. Even though he's not really a big deal until Iron Man 2 and The Avengers, I'd like to have him ready. I want Nick to sound near identical to how he does in the movies. That Samuel L. Jackson charisma is one of dreams, especially for a project like this.
"'I am Iron Man'. You think you're the only superhero in the world? Mr. Stark, you've become part of a bigger universe, you just don't know it yet."
"Sir, I'm gonna have to ask you to exit the donut."
"Get me off the grid!"
Aiming for J.A.R.V.I.S. to have an English/Brittan accent. This will cover BOTH his A.I. AND HIS HUMAN FORM! That's about it for him!
"Good morning. It's 7 A.M. The weather in Malibu is 72 degrees with scattered clouds. The surf conditions are fair with waist to shoulder highlines, high tide will be at 10:52 a.m."
"Sir, take a deep breath."
"Hello, I am J.A.R.V.I.S.. You are Ultron, a global peace-keeping initiative designed by Mr. Stark. Our sentience integration trials have been unsuccessful so I'm not certain what triggered your..."
Howard isn't gonna be as prevalent, but will show up much more than he does in the movies! I'm aiming for a senior-like voice, similar to how he sounds in the movies.
"Everything is achievable through technology, better living, robust health and for the first time in human history, the possibility of world peace. I'm Howard Stark, and everything you'll need in the future can be found right here."
"Tony, you are too young to understand this right now, so I thought I would put it on film for you. I built this for you, and someday you'll realize that it represents a whole lot more than just people's inventions. It represents my life's work. This is the key to the future. I'm limited by the technology of my time, but one day you'll figure this out. And when you do, you will change the world. What is, and always will be, my greatest creation... is you."
"Whatever you want, pal."
Pretty small one time deal. She's only gonna be in the first episode, that's about it. Very similar to her original voice.
"Mr. Stark! Christine Everhart, Vanity Fair magazine. Can I ask you a couple of questions?"
"You've been called the da Vinci of our time. What do you say to that?"
"I'm sorry Mr. Stark, but do you honestly expect us to believe that that was a bodyguard in a suit, that conveniently appeared, despite the fact that-"
Pretty small one time deal. He's gonna be in this episode only, but may show up later...
Arabic or Afghanistan accent only!
"Mr. Stark, Ho Yinsen."
"What I did? What I did is to save your life. I removed all the shrapnel I could, but there's a lot left."
"Don't waste it. Don't waste your life."
Pretty small one time deal. He's gonna be in this episode only. Give it your all!
"Thank you, Colonel. Uh, this is, uh— It’s beautiful. Thank you. Thank you all very much. This is wonderful. Well, I’m not Tony Stark. But, if I were Tony, I would tell you how honored I feel, and, uh, what a joy it is to receive this very prestigious award. Tony, you know, he, uh— the best thing about Tony is also the worst thing: he’s always working."
"Technology. That's always been your Achilles heel in this part of the world. Don't worry, it'll only last for fifteen minutes. That's the least of your problems."
"How ironic, Tony! Trying to rid the world of weapons, you gave it its best one ever! And now, I'm going to kill you with it!"
The line explains it all! I'd like as many extra's as possible!
Say anything! Something amusing, per se. I'd like as many extras's as I can get!
