Project Sekai: English Fandub! (Project Sekai: A New Voice!)
Project Overview
Greetings!
I've seen a lot of these happening recently, so I decided to hop on the bandwagon! Welcome to my English fandub of Project Sekai: Colorful Stage! Feat. Hatsune Miku! Or "Project Sekai: A New Voice!"
About Project:Sekai
Project SEKAI COLORFUL STAGE! feat. Hatsune Miku (often shortened to 'Project SEKAI') is a rhythm game developed for iOS and Android. The game is a collaboration between SEGA, Craft Egg, Colorful Palette, and Crypton Future Media. The game was released on September 30, 2020 for iOS and Android devices. The game is set in Shibuya, Tokyo. A girl named Hoshino Ichika walks through the streets and sees an LCD screen displaying Hatsune Miku. Upon returning home, she discovers a song named "Untitled" on her smartphone. Out of curiosity, Ichika plays the song, only to be surrounded by a white light and transported to an unknown place. Miku stands in front of Ichika, welcoming her to her SEKAI and inviting her to sing.
This project is an English fandub of the event stories from the game.
About This Project:
This is a long term project covering a heavy amount of the game, though the main selling point will be the event stories for each unit/band. Although, considering the circumstances, singing will be a heavily promoted option for those interested. Since most of the audio will have to be replaced/fully edited, a lot of work will be completed before casting to help a better flow for the project, in this case I want active voice actors interested in this project, just remember, if you're not submitting on time - I can and will replace you.
Rules/Questions:
Please be 14 or above, these characters are teenagers. I would like them to sound like such.
There are no canon English voices! Besides the VOCALOIDS themselves. So please have some creative freedom with your voices, I want to hear your take on the characters.
Be respectful, duh. Do not harass other voice actors for whatever reason at all.
Please follow the audition lines, and give me minimum two takes. If you slack in the audition I assume you'll slack in the project!
As you'll notice, a lot of the characters are missing from the Casting Call, this is because some roles have already been cast off-site.
Feel free to message me through Casting Call for any questions at all! I'm passionate about this so I won't bite. :)
Please leave your Discord in your audition. Discord is the main place I will be using to direct this!
That's it. Please, don't strain yourself and have fun!
Thank you. <3

[Practicing, talking to herself] One, two, three, four! Five, six, seven, eight! Hmm... My arms need to be more like this, I think. Oh, but doing it like this might make my pose look even cuter!
[Nervous] Among the crowd, huh? That sounds fun! We've never done anything like it before though. You think we'll be alright?
[Dumbfounded] How many times have we performed here already? I used to keep track when we first started, but... Hehe, I lost count at some point!Optional!! (Send an example of your singing here!)
Megurine Luka appears in the real world as a Virtual Singer, but when young people have trouble understanding their true feelings, Luka and her fellow Virtual Singers appear in another world called SEKAI to help them. She initially advises Leo/need in the School SEKAI.

[Talking to herself] I think I'll make sure all the instruments are tuned up and ready for whenever the girls come over. Everyone takes such good care of them that I probably don't need to worry about it, though. Hehe.
[Reassuring, comforting] When that happens, don't worry about trying to be correct. Try playing it the way that feels right to you. Like this.
[Kind, invitational] Hehe, like I said, it's nothing major. But since you asked... Would you like to help me out today? Maybe you can start by wiping down that desk over there?
Optional!! (Send an example of your singing here!)
MEIKO appears in the real world as a Virtual Singer. She lives in another world called SEKAI, but when young people have trouble understanding their true feelings, MEIKO and her fellow Virtual Singers appear to help them. She advises Vivid BAD SQUAD in the Street Sekai.

[Careless] No, no. They're just making fun. If things get heated, we might have a fight on our hands, but that's the way it's always been, so don't worry about it—
[Mother-Like] You look pretty comfortable. Weren't you supposed to be helping out today? Hehe. What am I going to do with you?
[Reassuring] It's most likely your difference in experience. Those three are all used to singing with others. Try not to be too hard on yourself. Everyone starts somewhere. Gaining experience takes time.

KAITO appears in the real world as a Virtual Singer. He lives in another world called SEKAI, but when young people have trouble understanding their true feelings, KAITO and his fellow Virtual Singers appear to help them. He initially advises Wonderlands x Showtime in the Wonderland SEKAI.

[Practicing, trying to hype himeslf up] All right, boys and girls! It's time for the show! No, that still sounds too stiff. It's missing something. Okay, everyone! The bestest show ever is about to begin! Oh, that's sounded much better. I think I'll go with that for today!
[Curious] I noticed he's been visiting quite a bit lately. So this is what he's been working on? I suppose it's all right as long as it isn't dangerous.
[Searching, switch to thinking] Miku, time for the meeting about our next show! Miku? That's strange. I thought I heard her talking to the plushies just a moment ago.Optional!! (Send an example of your singing here!)

[Contemplating] I know what you mean. Everything just sort of feels and sounds better... Do you think that only happens because we think it's going to happen?
[Confident] You're not alone, Honami. I've got a long way to go, too. I hope we can all continue improving together.
[Nervous] Well, I've got a few good lines, but they're still a ways away from being an actual song. Maybe I'll show you once they're a little more finished...

Tenma Saki is a first-year student at Miyamasuzaka Girls Academy. She's the keyboardist of Leo/need. Saki was born with a weak body. Because of this, she was hospitalized throughout middle school. Her older brother, Tsukasa, took care of her during that time. At the beginning of Leo/need's Main Story, she becomes healthy enough to return to school.

[Joyful] Me, either! Just being able to be in a band and spend time together like this.. It feels like the epitome of high-school life.
[Talking about pianos/keyboards] Well, of course! Everything about them is different, from the weight of the keys to how hard you have to hit them to make sound. Well, I'm more used to playing the piano, so I might need a little time, but I'm going to master the keyboard for sure!
[Enthusiastic] Oh, that's right! I remember you doing a demonstration at the community center in a traditional hakama and everything. I think you wrote sincerity.Optional!! (Send an example of your singing here!)
Mochizuki Honami is a first-year student at Miyamasuzaka Girls Academy. She's the drummer of Leo/need. Honami and Ichika, Saki and Shiho were friends as children. The group used to stargaze and play music, but because of Saki's hospitalization during middle school, Honami's relationships with Ichika and Shiho became strained. Despite wanting to be friends with the two, she stopped speaking to them after her classmates would call her disloyal and speak rudely about Ichika and Shiho. After Saki returns to school and they access the School SEKAI, the group slowly reunites and forms Leo/need, named after the meteor shower they watched together as children.

[Talking about Shiho, her friend] Yeah. She’s been really focused on band practice. She can be a bit strict, but she’s also a really patient teacher.
[Talking to herself] Oh, these sneakers have little ribbons on them. How cute. Mine are getting pretty old. Maybe it's time for a new pair. I really like my old shoes, though. I think I'll hold off for a bit longer.
[Kind, considerate. Talking about hair clips] It's so cute. Oh, but this is the kind you use to hold your hair in the back. I'm not sure I would ever find a time to use it.Optional!! (Send an example of your singing here!)
Hanasato Minori is a first-year student at Miyamasuzaka Girls Academy. She is a member of the idol group MORE MORE JUMP! Minori has been a big fan of Haruka from the idol group ASRUN ever since she saw Haruka performing on TV. Like her longtime inspiration, Minori has also set her sights on becoming an idol. She has tried her hand at over 50 auditions but failed every time. Despite this, she never gives up and continues to try in order to achieve her dreams.

[Excited] Really? What tour was that from? I have all your DVDs, so I'm sure I've seen it before... Oh! That's the one from your 2nd anniversary show! There were a bunch of walkways that all met up in the middle!
[Enthusiastic] Of course! The rules are different for every group, though, so I always use their official glowsticks. Some have changeable batteries so you can use them forever, but I remember one that had solar panels you used to recharge it.
[Determined] The schedule Airi made for me is super tough! She says the idols on TV these days can do this much no problem, though, so I have to do my best!Optional!! (Send an example of your singing here!)
Kiritani Haruka is a first-year student at Miyamasuzaka Girls Academy. She is a member of the idol group MORE MORE JUMP! Haruka used to be part of the nationally-acclaimed idol group ASRUN, and had the highest popularity ranking among all the members of the group. After a falling out with one of the members of her group, she retires from being an idol and returns to the general course at Miyamasuzaka. After her retirement, she meets Minori on the rooftop when looking for a place to read. Soon, Minori, Airi, and Shizuku invite her to create MORE MORE JUMP! with them. She initially refuses, until she is given hope by former ASRUN member Mai.

[Timid yet excited] The first time I was here, it wasn't a good kind of nervous. But now... Thanks to everyone's help, it's more of an excited nervousness. I actually want to get back up on stage.
[Confident] Well, I suppose it's important to make sure you don't try to do everything straight away. I also kept my goals short when I was first starting out. I would set them for three days in a row or maybe a week at a time. The feeling of accomplishing a goal you set for yourself gives you the motivation to work toward the next one.
[Thinking] Huh? An idol group that doesn't show their faces? I mean, it definitely would be surprising, yes... Oh, maybe we can turn it into a game by asking viewers to watch the video while guessing who is in which costume.
Optional!! (Send an example of your singing here!)
Momoi Airi is a second-year student at Miyamasuzaka Girls Academy. She is a member of the idol group MORE MORE JUMP! Airi used to be a member of the idol group QT. She was a popular idol that appeared on many variety shows. Due to her talent working in television, her agency urged her to stop being an idol and to become a TV personality instead. She rejected this offer, resulting in her quitting the group.

[Interested, excited] A joint practice? That would actually be great motivation! I'll mention it to everyone when I get back.
[Kind] Yeah. I think we've all got time coming up soon. I have a favor to ask, though. I'd like to help Minori get some practice up on a real stage. Do you think we could use one of the stages here?
[Annoyed] I guess that's true. Being the middle child can be pretty rough, though. My older sister can be super strict, too. She's pretty hardcore, like a demon at times...Optional!! (Send an example of your singing here!)
Hinomori Shizuku is a second-year student at Miyamasuzaka Girls Academy. She is a member of the idol group MORE MORE JUMP! Shizuku is a former member of the idol group Cheerful*Days. Her friend applied to the position for her without Shizuku's knowledge, but she decided to run with it after being accepted. She trained to become an idol at the same time as Airi, who openly viewed her as a rival. She is best known among fans for her mysterious and mature appearance, however this causes jealousy from the other members of her group, who think she has no talent and is only popular for her looks.

[Polite, offering] Oh, I could help if you like. I still have an outfit with heels I used in a photo shoot a while back. I can go grab them if you don't mind waiting.
[Annoyed into passionate] That's because I always have a hard time memorizing this sort of thing. I don't like causing trouble for the others. I also really enjoy this dance. I wanted to be able to dance alongside everyone else as quickly as possible.
[Explaining] We practice on the rooftop, you see, and it's easy to get cold quickly after all that exercise, so I started drinking miso soup to stay warm and prevent colds.

[Upset] Oh... Well I was practicing with An and the others, but I just couldn't seem to keep pace with them...
[Relieved] Aoyagi! Thank goodness you're so tall. It makes it so easy to spot you in big crowds like this. An and I kind of get swallowed up, so it's always hard to find each other.
[Enthusiastic] Oh, there's a book store. I haven't read any books for a while. Maybe I should get something.

After being long-time rivals, they join Akito and Toya of BAD DOGS to become Vivid BAD SQUAD.

[Confident] That's right. Music, or rather singing, just sort of felt like the right thing to do and... I'm not trying to brag, but my dad is really cool, don't you think?
[Tired] Phew, Homeroom just went on and on today. I hope I can still make it home in time to help get ready to open. Mizuki was actually here today, too. I wish we had more time to chat, but it'll have to wait until next time.
[Cocky, bossy] I've got the day off. One of my friends asked me to be a stand-in for the basketball team today. What's your excuse for still being here? You taking make-up lessons again?

[interested] KAITO, I’m interested in learning more about your stage mechanisms. Would you be willing to give me a tour?
[Upset] Why is it that every single show on tv about eating healthy tells you to eat vegetables? If you ask me, they all taste like they should be bad for your health.
[Passionate] Flying, huh? That's ambitious. I like it. You'll need to work on developing your physical strength first, though. The jumping part is simple with some sort of device like a jet pack, but maintaining a pose mid-air requires significant core strength.
Optional! (Send an example of your singing here!)

[Talking to Mizuki, annoyed] We have tests all week, so we only have half days. What about you? Are you skipping class again?
[Elaborating] She'll sometimes disappear when I'm working on a song and start feeling like I want to be left alone. One time when I asked her where she went, she said, "Nowhere. I just went for a walk."
[Blank, trying to sound scary] How about telling yourself that if you don't finish what you're doing within the next hour, somebody will kill you. What's wrong Mizuki? You've stopped.
