What is Miitopia?
Miitopia is a lighthearted RPG released on the Nintendo 3DS in 2017. It is rated E for Everyone by the ESRB. The story goes that you(r Mii) is a lone traveler that comes across a town. Soon after stopping by, the Dark Lord shows up. He is out to steal every single Mii's...face. It's a lot less morbid than it sounds, for anyone unfamiliar with the game. That might not sound THAT bad...but other than their favorite color, a Mii's face is the only way to be able to distinguish themselves from each other! A crime worse than murder...in all seriousness, the game consists of you travelling across the land, defeating monsters, collecting faces, and stopping the Dark Lord. Very few of these characters have actual names. Why? Well...one of the main draws of the game is that you can cast any Mii you want for any role! You can cast anyone you want as the protagonist, the Dark Lord, and pretty much any other role! (You get the idea.) It's difficult to imagine, so perhaps you would like a trailer for the game? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yru6HJnkDBwThe reason this fandub is happening now, for anyone unaware, a Miitopia port for the Nintendo Switch was announced in February! The deadline for getting the voice actors is the release date for the game, in late May.
What will this fandub be?
Miitopia is an awesome game, but one thing it lacks is voice acting. For all dialogue, the "voices" for the characters are just incoherent babbling with text. Think Animal Crossing. Though it goes without saying, this fandub will be on the Nintendo Switch version and not the 3DS version. It will be a full-story fandub, along with the small cutscenes between levels and ellipses at the Inns. The only thing that will not be dubbed over is the small Persona-esque dialogue during the levels, between fights. Actually...I barely need to explain it! I'm currently working on and publishing episodes as we speak. Look it over, and consider whether you want to lend your voice to this ambitious project. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLik-2j5cendcfTHgvvIzHZsb3FOd-6qD0 Keep in mind, I haven't published all the episodes as of writing this, which is on June 23rd. I'm multitasking and finding voice actors for the next few steps of the way while wrapping up editing on the first part. But anyway, this project is unrelated and not sponsored by Nintendo. This project will be made for fun. It was and will not be paid for, and also will not accept sponsors, monetization, or money in any way.
Unique Roles
I could just pick some iconic, funny, or goofy Miis to fill the roles, but I know that'd probably deter some people. And so that's why...if you get casted, you get to pick your character! This will be a very unique casting for a very unique game. That doesn't mean that you won't get any sort of instructions for your character's voice, though! I also ask that you have someone in mind that your character would be. If it's someone specific, or if you're impersonating another character, I'd like for you to say it with your auditions!
Minimal Requirements
- Be at least 13 years old
- Have a decent quality mic (it can even be a phone mic, just don't have something that sounds like a tin can and a string)
- Don't have any background noise for your audition
- Have Discord
- Be open to constructive criticism, and be able to work with other people
- Be able to meet deadlines (they will be very flexible, but they will be there nonetheless)
Recommended Requirements
- Have a professional mic (Blue Snowball or better)
- Play through the entire Miitopia game (so you know everything that happens, know what you'll be expected to do and say, and don't get spoiled.)
- Be okay with cartoon violence and brief crude humor.
Miscellaneous + Extra Stuff
This is the second casting call for a full-game dub of Miitopia. The reason I didn't do it all at once is this is a very large game...easily a 12-hour experience! For this part, I'm casting the characters for what happens directly after the demo of the game. This includes the rest of Easin Hills and the area of Neksdor (for those who haven't played the game, yes, it's a play on "next door"). Like last time, most of the auditions are sorted by appearance and not signifigance with a few exceptions! Like I said, even though you get to choose your own character once you get casted, you will still get their ingame description in quotations for the first paragraph, my own personal description for the second paragraph, and some general voice direction for the third which will sometimes provide a link to an already existing voice I would recommend you to base it off of! There are tons of people here, so i would seriously recommend going for multiple roles! It gives you a better chance at getting casted, and if I like 'em, you may even get casted for multiple roles. So go nuts!
