RWBY Abriged Volume 1 Casting Call

RWBY Abriged Volume 1 Casting Call

Project Overview

I'm making an Abriged series for RWBY, a show made by the wonderful RoosterTeeth, and am looking for voice actors, animators, and artists who'd like to contribute their skills to the project. I work mostly in Premiere so if you've got knowledge of Photoshop or AfterEffects I'd love to have ya. So if you're an artist or animator interested in the project send an email to [redacted] with the title "RWBY Abridged" with a link to your work or some art you think would be funny in the show.

Here's a few base requirements:

Have a good microphone. This should be self-explanitory, but if I can hear a lot of scratching or static I'm not gonna pick your audio no matter how on spot the voice is.

Don't try to match the voices from the show. While I'd love a spot on Jaune impersonation...for reasons...I think making the voice your own is far more important. Just try youir best and if I don't like it I'll give you pointers to try again, because hey, you might get it the next time.

Finally, have an email, Skype Account, or Google Drive. If you have all three that's fantastic, and if you don't 2 outta 3 ain't bad, and if you have none...well you might wanna consider getting them.

Other than that, good luck, and happy hunting.

Latest Updates

  • Background Characters

    Alright, so for Background characters I have a large group to work with, so I'll make this easy and just list them all here and if you all could shoot me a message with your contact information (Skype preferably) we can get started. sslapointe/ rixenxiv/ rhyms/ atsuyumi/ seraf/ deadbeat/ arkham/ joshkaposh/ imfun_iswear/ madamebutterfly/ curtis mcalees/ abridgedmayhem/ weissweiss-baby/ homicidalteddybear/ swakoo/ sky-is-a-blessing-in-disguise/ missnivans/ kagehana/ teal/ kanen/ vanilla/ queen-bambi/ akariki lee/ niveosaura/ serastand/ waterver/ and fierypotato. If I already have your information, ignore this, and if not please send it before Sunday October 9th to qualify for the role.

  • IT'S THE FINAL COUNTDOWN!!!

    In one hour and 25 minutes this casting call will officially close, and then I shall begin my vetting process for the VAs who will assume the roles of main characters and side characters. I said it'd be done Sunday, but with my work schedule I'm gonna release segments each day, so tomorrow will be Team CRDL and The Professors, Friday will be Side Characters and Background Characters, Saturday will be Villains, and then Sunday will be Protagonists. Hang in there gang, we're almost there.

  • Whoop Whoop! (300+ Auditions)

    I love you guys! When I opened this project I was honestly expecting around maybe 90 that were okay, but to have 300+ amazing auditions to choose from I'm gonna be at it for a while. So I'm closing auditions tomorrow, and I'll be finalizing my choices by Sunday since I work all weekend except that day. And with that we will begin production on the trailers, and then we'll get started on the episodes.

  • Quick (Second to Last) Update

    With the Deadline being a little less than two weeks away, I am really happy with the turnout of this project. That being said, if you all would like to share this with the people you know to bolster awareness and get those extra auditions for Background Characters and Side Characters that would be much appreciated.

  • 200 Auditions

    Well, since there's been a lot of people to audition I've got a lot of choices in VAs. If you've already submitted auditions, thanks, and if you haven't a few characters I'm still looking for are Team CRDL, The Detectives, and The Professors. Other than that, if everyone who's auditioned currently could audition for the Background characters I'd be really pleased since I'll need a lot of background characters and they'll have some of the funniest lines. With that, adieu.

A gruff and not-so-tough gangster who owns a nightclub. He has a deepish voice and sounds like he's pissed most of the time.

Role assigned to: Joe Goffeney

The only character in the show who realizes how absurd it is to fight the Grimm, but decided to join Beacon in order to follow in his father's footsteps. He's one of the more level headed charaters in this abridged, and is usually sarcastic or cynical. So...think Kirito from SAO Abridged?

  • "So I'm not the only one who notices how crazy this is? Just me? Okay then."

  • "You don't get it Pyrrha! This is literally insane! Fighting monsters, using magic, and...gun-swords!? It defies all logic!"

  • "I hope you're happy with yourself Cardin...because when I have my vengeance it will be swift, it will be brutal, and there will be NO TRACE that you ever existed...think about that."

Absolutely full of herself, acting like she's superior to everyone else, refuses to admit she's wrong or at fault, but...at random moments she can show some genuine kindness or foolishness showing she's actually not the Devil.

  • "We're gonna build a wall, and we're gonna make the Faunus pay for it!"

  • "I'm very sorry Ruby, I can't imagine what your childhood was like with a sister so self-absorbed...oh wait, yes I can."

  • "Well I think we should look at this from a different angle...how much me is involved in this project?"

Role assigned to: m36um1

One of the strangest characters in this series, a very naive girl with a much darker nature to her. She doesn't believe death exists, continues to believe her mom went off to work on a farm, and thinks that hunting Grimm is fun. So for her voice just go young and innocent and I'll throw in a dark line to see how you do.

  • "Silly Jaune, people don't die. They just go off to a farm to become members of the agricultural community!"

  • "This is Crescent Rose, my baby, it's great for stirring giant bowls of cookie dough."

  • "Hahaha, I mean come on Weiss, I mean, if my mother were dead, then that'd mean I've been slowly trying to reassure myself that following in her profession won't result in my untimely death at a young age watching my comrades fall against insumountable odds of a rising darkness, all the while trying my damndest to rush in so that the sweet embrace of death can take me to my mother's arms in heaven...so yeah...she's not dead!"

  • "Sure thing chief, when you need to sniff out trouble, Inbutts is your guy."

If you thought Weiss was bad, Yang is worse. Self-absorbed, got that selfiemania, and is absolutely addicted to puns. Just think of that one friend you have, you know the one, just imagine them and channel it. Granted with the second line try to sound sincere at first, because she can be...at times...when the moons align.

  • "Yo bitch, what's good?"

  • "Ruby, sweet and innocent Ruby, where I'm going you can't follow...the boy's locker room." *insert pervy laughter*

  • "You see Roman, this is merely a stepping stone for what is to come."

  • "One protestor has taken the nightslick from a police officer and is beating him with it saying, #FaunusLivesMatter, the movement is popular on social media but I believe that the current display of violence is showing that the cause is devolving from significant issue with reasonable demands into full blown hysteria."

Role assigned to: summerjuliet

She is the most powerful character in this show arguably in terms of skill, strength, and aura strength. So with that much power packed into her frame it gives her the right to act like nothing is ever wrong, so she's usually really chill until there's something she can't solve with violence. For her voice just go with soothing and self-assured.

  • "Jaune, I'm gonna need you to trust me on this okay?"

  • "Okay, calculate for the angle of descent, wind speed, weight of the target, aaaaaand...fire!" *Jaune says thank you* "You're welcome!"

  • "Mmm...I'm gonna tap that white boy."

Bubbly, hyperactive, a love of large scale destruction, and a bit of crazy rolled into a tiny but powerful frame. Nora is basically the Deadpool of this universe complete with fourth wall breaking, humor at others expense, and a gratuitous level of violence. Also she has a singsong voice from time to time.

  • "Silly Ren, think of the fans." *winks at the audience*

  • "Mmm, these pancakes are good, almost as good as Jaune's fail level." *laughs* "BURN!"

Very reserved and a little weird. Most of his time is spent internally monologuing in poetic verse, or externally misquoting Confucius. Kinda thinks of Nora like a pet that's way to out of control, and views everyone else in the school as children he needs to herd.
