Pokemon Abridged - FireRed/LeafGreen - Season 4
Project Overview
What is this?
This is Pokemon Abridged: FireRed/LeafGreen!
This project will be a series of videos on YouTube in typical "Abridged" fashion. Each episode will be relatively short, approximately 10-15 minutes each. The series will loosely follow the events of the game, aiming to be a faithful but silly adaptation of the game's plot. The characters in this will be NOTHING like what you're used to, leading to a lot of unexpected humor. This is, first and foremost, a comedy series.
This casting call is specifically for Season 4. Seasons 1 through 3 have been posted on YouTube, which you can check out on the show's YouTube channel. This has been a lot of fun to make, and we're looking forward to seeing a lot of fun new episodes in Season 4!
Requirements:
Actors should be ready for several months of commitment. This is especially true for the main and recurring characters, who will have to commit to several seasons of this. However, if you wish to voice only a single, minor character in one episode, further commitment is not needed.
As this is a comedy series, comedic timing will be important in making it work. As the director and the editor, a lot of that responsibility falls to me, but I still expect actors to work with me to get timing down as needed. The ability to read and speak quickly, and to mimic me when I give instructions over a call, are preferred for this project.
Actors will need high-quality microphones to allow for clean audio, with as little echoing as possible.
The #1 rule I have is this: Have fun! When you audition, and if you are chosen, have fun with your lines! Considering this is a fandub, I'm sure most if not all of you who audition are fans of the original, just as I am. Let's do it justice, and make a great thing, together!
A few notes:
Discord is not required, but it is recommended as we utilize it to organize group rehearsals, deliver announcements, and distribute the script (it's also been an incredibly useful tool for getting to know the people affiliated with the project and we've had a fair bit of fun with it). Once the cast has been chosen, Discord would be the easiest way to communicate with the various actors and get rehearsals and recordings set up, so that I can provide real-time feedback as lines get delivered. Again, Discord is not required, but IS strongly recommended.
And that's it! I look forward to hearing your auditions! Good luck, everyone!
