Hello, everyone!
Simply put, this is a fandub of Shantae: Half-Genie Hero, in which I, with a team of voice actors dub the base game and the "Friends to the End" campaign in episodes for my Youtube channel. Lines are given via recorded footage I post unlisted on Youtube and are to be submitted in mp3 format. Once submitted, they're edited into the video footage by me and posted publicly. Some grace for deadlines can be given under the proper situations, but I'd rather NOT miss deadlines. If you audition, please make sure you can submit lines ASAP (like a week after I post the video max). I'm also more active over Discord than email, since that's my more preferred means of communication.
When it comes to the lines, I don't mind ad libbing, but I'd like to hear adherence to the script.
Some notes about these auditions:
If you want to apply effects to your auditions for one of the roles, I am not completely against it, but be warned that those effects will be taken into account when determining who gets the role.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask them; I don't bite.
Good luck!
Thank you guys so much for your auditions. A great many roles have been casted, though there are some roles that I would like to see if a few more takes could be available.
As such, the deadline has been extended to February 10th. Thank you for your time, and I hope to hear from you!
Our titular djinni halfa, ready for another adventure! I'd like a voice similar to her official actress Cristina Vee.
Boy oh boy! That was some crazy dream I had! No more comic books in bed from now on! ...And that whole tub of cookie dough ice cream probably didn't help much either.
[Infuriated] I can’t believe he actually did it! He replaced me with that...SNOTTY...LITTLE-
[Done With Everything] I’m going home to take a very long, very hot bath.
The titular djinna halfa, overtaken by Dark Magic. Much like with Shantae, I'd like a voice similar to her actress Christina Vee, but this time a bit more...menacing, darker tones.
I know...what you can do... YOU CAN SUFFER! YOU CAN SQUIRM LIKE THE PATHETIC MAGGOTS YOU ARE!!
[Taunting] Ha ha ha... I can feel it.... The darkness spreading... My strength increasing... And you. You're much too weak. How does it feel to lose? To have failed your friends and family so miserably?
[Desparate] Who said that?! Blast it! Curse you!! I need more time! MORE TIME!!
A denizen of the Genie Realm who reaches out to Shantae for her assistance. I'd like a medium voice for this spectre from the world unseen.
Welcome, Daughter of the Genies. Don't be afraid.
I have summoned you here to warn you of a great danger. Very soon an Agent of Darkness will strike at the heart of our world. It seeks to corrupt our magic and use it for its own selfish gain.
There is a special magic, a gift that she has placed upon your heart. Your family is never as far away as you might think. Take comfort in knowing that she is with you, always...and she loves you very much.
One of Shantae's best friends. Though snobby (and kinda bossy) at times, she always has her friends' interests and safety at heart. I'd like a medium voice for this bird trainer. For bonus points, try sounding like Anna from the Fire Emblem series.
*sigh* Just go. I won't let you down! ...No, I mean I’m literally not letting you down. GET!
This is a map to Mermaid Falls! Are you going there? ...Well be careful. Mermaids around those parts can be very dangerous. Especially the saltwater variety.
Shantae, listen. It’s me, Sky. We’ve been best friends for as long as I can remember. I know you’re confused right now, and that the dark magic has you surrounded. But you've got to fight it! Remember who you really are!
One of Shantae's best friends. While somewhat lecherous, he does have it in him to do the right thing. I'd like a medium voice for this goofball.
[Entranced] This woman... She’s like....a bathroom angel......can’t look away...
[Frustrated] There you go again! Leaving me out, like you ALWAYS do! I mess up ONE delivery and suddenly I’m useless! Ever since we were kids, you get to be the hero and I'm always the goof-up! Well I’m sick of barfing in your shadow!
Shantae, there you are. Look, I know you’re just acting weird because of the Dark Magic inside you. But your Uncle is really worried. We’re all worried. I know you’d never give up on us, so we won't give up on you!
A woman who is unfortunate to have gotten Bolo's attention near the start of the game. I'd like a medium voice for this woman.
Good morning and welcome to the Bath House! ...a place where you can rejuvenate your body and spirit with the tranquil sounds and scents of hard core, white-knuckle, full-throttle max relaxation! Normally I'd offer you advice about your quest...but right now I'm trying to figure where this receipt came from. Whoever delivered that "Drooling Buffoon Statue" over there must have dropped it.
I love the water feature on that Buffoon Statue! The slow drip from its slacked jaw is SO relaxing!
The...well, owner of a shop in Scuttle Town. I don't really have a voice preference for him, but I kinda imagine him sounding like Roland from Ni No Kuni II.
The Item Shop will be open soon! Just unloading some shipments! ...Oh! You’re picking up for your Uncle then? Just show me the receipt and I’ll fetch it for you.
Okie dokie! Let’s see here...... Yep! Here’s his order. It was stuck to this box of hard drives! No idea what that thing’s for, but knowing your Uncle it must be something special!
Welcome to the Item Shop! We’ll be open for business in just a few minutes!
Shantae's uncle. A skilled replicator of artifacts and devices alike, he's able to help Shantae out of...and into jams when the time arrives. I'd like a medium, kinda gravely voice for this relic hunter.
Here! Like that, you see? Once it’s completed, this machine will generate enough electricity to light up Scuttle Town, day and night! It'll chase away every monster and pirate within a ten-mile radius! Scuttle Town will be safe and sound. And YOU get to relax for a change!
*Sigh* So many distractions today. Just promise you’ll be careful!
One moment... Just a matter of where she went and which materials she was after. ...hmm ...wider dispersal requires... No, that's not it... ...something to amplify the counterflow... ...no, she wouldn't have known about the hamster wheel... ...Yes ...a MUCH larger magical intake valve... EUREKA! Here's your answer!
The self-proclaimed "Queen of the Seven Seas" and one of Shantae's more prominent arch-nemeses. It would seem that she's up to her usual tricks. I would like a voice similar to how she is in-game, though I would not be opposed to alternate takes for her voice.
Your dimwitted relic-hunting Uncle is always unearthing valuables from the lost age. And whatever secrets this blueprint contains, I want them! How else can I claim my rightful place as ruler over all of Sequin Land!!
[Mocking] I’d say goodbye to the Half-Genie brat... But with all of that Evil Magic coursing through her... Well... Let’s just say she's YOUR problem now. Ta-ta!!!
[Infuriated] FOOL!! BLASTED NO GOOD!! WRETCHED MEDDLING RUNT!! YOU’VE RUINED EVERYTHING!! My perfect...PERFECT PLAN!
A young lady that has recently escaped from Techno Baron's mermaid slaughtering scheme. Any kind of voice will do.
[Frantic] Someone please help me! All of the young maidens from my village! They’ve... DISAPPEARED!
I heard that a Guardian Genie lived in this town. You must be her! Please! Will you help my village?
[Grateful] Oh thank you, thank you! Here’s a map to Mermaid Falls! You'll need to fly ther, and quickly! ...Before more young maidens vanish!
A returning face from one of Shantae's previous adventures! Apparently she's opened up a restaurant in Scuttle Town, but she needs help cleaning up shop...I'd like a medium tone of voice for this young lady.
Heya! Long time no see! I’ve recently opened a restaurant, right here on Main Street. But wouldn’t ‘cha know it! It's opening day and I’ve already got a Pirate infestation! Unless someone gets rid of them, I can't renew my health permit!
[Passive-Aggressive/Irritated] No permit for me? Fine. Just because I scrimped and saved for years in order to pay for culinary school after being rejected from every cooking college, fast food restaurant, and greasy spoon this side of Sequin Land, why not withhold it?
Oh thank goodness! I’m back in business, baby! Here. I want you to have this. While studying the culinary arts abroad, I came up with my own spin on Salted Caramel. I call it "Caramel le Poopah", in honor of my dog Wobble Bell.
One of the Barons of Sequin Land. A rather...skeevy militaristic engineer that tends to build weapons of war, but right now, he's working in...the food industry? I need a medium, raspy type of voice for this lizard.
[Annoyed] ARGrrrgh! Lost count again! Who disrupts my concentration?!
[Indignant] Hey, we’ve all gotta eat! Sales were high and supplies were low. What else was I supposed to do? Leave money lying on the table?
[Infuriated] I've been assigned one BILLION hours of community service! They're making me tear down my factory to make way for a putrid Mermaid Preserve! Eeeeeeeeyarrrrghhh!!!
A passerby Shantae runs into on her adventure. Apparently she gets paid in bird seeds. Like, why? I don't have any voice preferences for this girl.
Gosh. I thought this was a candy store. But all of these eggs have dumb birds inside. I’d trade one year of pay for a single piece of salted caramel!
Oh, thank you! In return, I’d like to give you one year of pay! ...I get paid in bird seed. Lame, I know.
A guy who has a bird with an upset stomach. Wonder who could help him out? I'd like a medium-toned voice for this guy. For reference, think Kellam from Fire Emblem Awakening.
Does this place sell remedies for birds? My pet Mr. McBeaklin here has an upset stomach! If only I had some seeds to give him...
There must be a cure for my bird's sour stomach. Hang in there! Don’t you quit on me McBeaklin!
That’s one weird looking egg! McBeaklin, what did you EAT?! ...Thanks for helping McBeaklin. I’ll never forget this!
A very...frustrating man to be around. He is very quick to make decisions for the sake of Scuttle Town...whether it be for better or worse (They usually involve firing/re-hiring Shantae). I'd like a medium voice for this chocoholic mayor.
Well, you’re fired. I’m off to place an ad for a new Guardian Genie! One who can get rid of those pirates for good!
It’s true. She stole my nose AND removed her own thumb while I watched. As our old Guardian Genie, I’d like you to show her the ropes.
[Nervous] So uh... Scuttle Town is more or less repaired, and... The position of Guardian Genie is still open. ...I can’t think of anyone more qualified than you. Will you come back? Pretty please?
A woman who desires protein for her rigorous lifestyle. Apparently Monster Eggs are chock-full of protein. Who knew? I'd like a medium, kinda gruff voice. Looking at her and her dialog, I imagine her sounding like Sully from Fire Emblem Awakening.
[Disgust] I just visited the spa. What was that mess? A place to allow one’s body to go soft while wallowing in the lap of luxury? Not for me. No sir.
Strength must be earned through a staunch diet and rigorous exercise! I crave PROTEIN! Only the egg of a MONSTER will slake my thirst!
NICE. A fortress is built one brick at a time. So it is with your body. Never forget it. Here. A reward for your efforts.
A special merchant that travels by jar. She sells dances that other stores (read: Scuttle Town's shop) don't. I'd like a medium-toned, kinda sultry voice for this serpentine seller.
A cussstomer! You rang? I specialize in teaching only the most magical of dance moves. All S-Grade stuff here, very useful! No duds!
An exxxcellent choice!
Sssee ya later!
A VERY vain spectre of a memory long since past who is desperate to stay in the now. I'd like a high-medium voice for this...whatever she was.
Oh, you don't know? How sad. I'm your replacement, of course! Holly Lingerbean, Half-Genie Hero for hire. But you can call me Holly.
[Dismissive/Mocking] How sad. If you want your job back so badly, why don’t you go cry to the Mayor? ...Oh? Tsk tsk tsk. Then do us all a favor. Take your air-headed friend, and go back to being a has-been!
[Frantic] Oh no! Our bargain! Please, let me try again! I can beat them if you give me another chance! [Fading away] N-NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
One of Shantae's friends and a friendly—as well as mischievous—wild card of a zombie buddy. She tends to mean well. I'd like a high/high-medium voice for this perky member of the undead.
[Nonchalant] Oh, haven’t you heard? The end of the world. The Hypno Baron is summoning a creature of unspeakable horror. I want to squeeze in as much fun as possible before the beast begins its world-ending rampage.
What a pal! As promised, here! Say, why don't you join us? You could meet Abner, Poe and me at the raceway!
Shantae... I know I can be a rotten friend, and that I mess up a lot. But... I want you to know that I’ve always believed in you! You're a friend to everyone... Even to someone like me, who everyone else is afraid of... Remember who you really are!
One of Ammo Baron's higher-ranked minions. Is rarely seen apart from her comrade Vinegar. She's decent enough...when off the clock. I'd like a medium-light voice for this lady of war.
Any time we're assigned a new station, we make it a point to sample the local flavors... before things get ugly. We heard the food here was to die for!
Here comes another flying carpet, Vinegar!
GOING DOOOOOOWN!!!
One of Ammo Baron's higher-ranked minions. Is rarely seen apart from her comrade Twitch. She's nice enough when Ammo Baron isn't using her for some scheme. I'd like a medium voice for this tall gunner chick.
We’re not here to cause trouble. We’re on R n’ R.
Get ready to nab it, Twitch!
AVENGE MEEEEEEE!!!
One of the Barons of Sequin Land. He's up to his old tricks yet again, this time hijacking a...carpet race? I'd like a medium-low, gruff kinda voice for this army man.
Blast it all! That ship cost billions of crowd-funded dollars! ...Woah! Hello ladies!
Armored ships are good ‘n all. But I need airborne troops, too! But being as how the Magical Silkworm is endangered, and is also very cute... I’ll just take the magic silk I need from these losers’ carpets...and use it to manufacture Magic Carpet Uniforms for my men!
[Pain] *Moan* What went wrong... All that work...up in smoke!
One of the many soldiers in Ammo Baron's army. I don't have any voice preferences.
Sir!
Charge!
*Pained Groan*

A man who loves to look into dusty old ruins. Should probably see a doctor. I'd like a medium-toned, nasally kinda voice. For reference, think Bently from the Sly Cooper games.
Whoh. You a grave robber? *Sniff* Not me. Genealogy guy. Build your family tree and whut whut. *Sniff* I'm here looking for Remains.
Remains are all around us. You can tell where they’re buried, ‘cause flowers grow down there. Person goes in the dirt. Person turns into plant food.
Nice. *Sniff* AHCHOOO! ...Sorry about that. Got you sick. Might wanna get that checked out by a doctor.
A passerby physician who's able to cure common colds like it's nothing. I'd like a medium-toned voice for this guy.
Hello and what’s the reason for seeing me today? Are you allergic to any medications? Do you have a history of stomach problems? Happen to know the date of your last physical exam? Well, if you ever need a checkup, just come see me.
Oh, you’re not feeling your usual self? How long has this been going on? Hmm. I think I have just the thing.
Ok, you’re going to feel a tiny poke, like a viper digging its fangs deep into your throat. I’m kidding around. You’re already cured. Just like that. I bet you didn’t even see or feel it. Here. That is for being a good patient.
A wandering wizard who happens to enjoy a good sucker-er, lollypop, to be more specific. ...Maybe a bit too much. Or maybe he's just a bit unhinged. I'd like a high-medium pitch for this guy.
You got any candy? I’m a sucker for candy. In fact, I’d RAZE A TOWN TO THE GROUND JUST TO GET MY HANDS ON SOME SUGARY SWEET.... ...Heh! Ignore that.
Wow, I mean WOW! Candy outta nowhere! You, my friend, are a real wizard! Here. For you.
That's a Light Shard made out of crystal. Wizard’s gotta have a crystal, right? AM I RIGHT?! ANSWER ME!! Heh. Just kidding.
Rottytops' older brother. Gruff and kinda stern, he cares deeply about his family of zombies. He's also kind of a butt. I'd like a medium, kinda gravelly (Pun not intended) voice for this caffeine-addicted zombie.
Oh, it’s the brain on legs. You got something for me? Coffee? Brains? Coffee with brains in it? ...Then get lost.
Me and Poe are gonna take over this old castle. But I’m concerned about this wall right here. It’s screamin’ for a poster. Some totally awesome black light poster. Yeah... I can picture it right there on that wall. A sweet 'n sassy poster.
This ain't at all what I expected. It’s WAY better! Yeah, I’m diggin’ this. Here. Poe picked up that sorry-lookin' squid poster at a nerd con. No backsies.
Rottytops' younger older brother. A nice, polite guy, though I worry about his hamster. I'd like a medium, slightly sophisticated voice for the guy.
Hello m’lady! I just can’t get enough of this castle! Incredible, right? I could see myself settling down in a place like this. *Forlorn Sigh*
[Concerned] It's just my pet... he doesn't get along with this place at all. He likes to run and run. But around here... I dunno. He could wander off and get hurt, you know? I really want him to have a good home where he can be happy and really get his wiggles out.
[Wistful] Woahhhhh... That voice... That’s the sound my heart makes when I think about...her. She’s out there. Someday I’m going to meet the girl who sang this. I feel it in my heart.
One of the Barons of Sequin Land. He seems to be up to no good again. Something about the end of the world or something? I'd like a medium-deep kinda voice for this guy...though his cackling is rather high-pitched.
Tremble in fear as you witness the end of your world! BEHOLD! THE CREATURE OF UNSPEAKABLE HORROR!
Who told you that? No, it’s “gracing the fabric of leisure-time and blowing away human kind in a sea of heavy weave 100% cotton comfort.” Squid Baron merch will fund evil for all eternity! NEEEE- HEE- HEE- HEEE!
I will rebuild an Empire of FEAR by feeding on Sunken Souls! I command you to find ten of them! Fail in this, and I will inhabit the minds of all of the citizenry of Scuttle Town, driving them to MADNESS!
One of the Barons of Sequin Land. A married(?) father of many kids, you'd wonder why he's here instead of doting to his children. I'd like a voice akin to Deadpool, more preferably (read: specifically) the Deadpool that was in Ultimate Spider-Man (who was voiced by Will Friedle).
[Cheerful] Yo! Check it! I've reached Fifth Boss Status! That's one step away from top billing! I'd be surprised if they didn't name a game after me!
[Furious] WHHH-H-H-HOW DARE YOU?! Let's do this up all crazy style! Cue the funky boss track and come at me!
[Evil] HA HA HAAAAA! Quiver in the Shadow of Pure Evil! [Confused, Breaking Character] ...Wha? Who are these folks? Stand ins? I thought this was live.
A guy who apparently has it out for an azure knight? Iunno. He's a bit of a jerk, so who knows. I think he's just bored. I don't exactly have any preferences for this guy, per se, but I always imagined him to sound a bit like a stoner.
Hey girl. I'm the Adventure Man. You an adventurer like me?
You like games? I got a game. Here goes. Okay. Guess what? Monkey butt. ...Nah, that was lame.
Since you made it all the way here, tell ya what. I’m givin’ you this vorpal blade. I swiped it from the Azure Knight a while back. That blade is wicked vorpal. I even dunked it in baby monkey tears to make it even more vorpal. So vorpal it hurts.
A knight donned in...well, azure-colored armor. He's missing a sword. Apparently an adventurous person stole it from him? Dude seems rather uptight about the whole affair. I don't have any preferences for this dude, though I've always imagined him sounding like Gallant Cooper from Sly 4.
I am the Azure Knight! You!! Were you sent forth by the Crimson Knight to retrieve his Regal Headwear? I would naught yield it to a knave such as yon!
If thou art successful in surmounting his cerebral tournament of trickery and deception...and deliver unto me the Vorpal Blade before the setting sun touches the vast ocean...the Regal Headwear shall be thines!
I see that thou hast procured the Vorpal Blade. You are both noble and brave! And so, I bestow upon thine thou-head, thy Regal Headwear as promised. Wearest it uponeth thine head henceforth!
A woman who feels the need to get out more (and maybe find a guy to hook up with? Iunno), but seems to be missing a particular article... I don't have any preferences for this old girl, but I kinda imagine her sounding like Muriel from Courage the Cowardly Dog.
Oh hi there young lady. I’d offer you to sit for a spell, but I’m in a bit of a kerfuffle right now. My grandkids have run off, you see. Keeping tabs on the little rascals is like raking snakes over dry, dry cereal.
Do you think my hat looks too old fashioned? The grandkids said I need to find a new hat. I dunno, somethin’ more moderns is called for I suppose. Can you help me out again?
"Foxy Grandma." Oh sweet mama I look hotter than a fricasseed tubeworm. "Foxy Grandma." Words to live by. This hat is giving this ol’ gal thoughts of spring time if you know what ‘m getting at.
