Shishunki Bitter Change Manga Dub - RECAST & NEED EXTRAS!!
Project Overview
THIS IS A RECASTING AUDITION!!
DESPERATELY IN NEED OF EXTRAS AS WELL!! (Extras include: Teachers, High School Students, and Children)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
INTRODUCTION
Shishunki Bitter Change will be the upcoming manga dub to be produced and we are looking for voice actors and actresses to fill in the roles. This is a body swap manga, and I do recommend checking it out! The synopsis of this manga stars two main characters, Yuuta Kimura and Yui Ootsuka. Both of their body swapped when Yuuta fell down from a tree while they were young. A story about how they cooperate and live their life through their adolescence age as they lived in each other’s body. A story filled with romance, drama, and many other twists.
OUR GOAL
We’ve got a goal we’re trying to reach as we are producing and making this manga dub come to life. We want to tell this story to many people. Since this manga isn’t very popular among young demographic and in the manga reading community, I want to build up on this manga and share this story to the viewers. My goal is to produce this manga dub and promote this wonderful story by Masayoshi. Another goal of ours is to dub the FULL series, so let's up we can make it happen!!
ABOUT THE PROJECT
We’re not looking for professional voice actors/actresses, but you will be required to have a good audio quality. We do have AQ (Audio Quality) Standard, and if you have any questions, please message me and let me know what we’re looking for. As long as you have a good audio quality, you should be good.
This project will be divided into two seasons. The first season will consist of 22 episodes (CH 1 - 48) and season 2 will consist of 12 episodes (49 - end). This dub will be posted on YouTube. Everyone will be equally credited, regardless if you are playing main or minor roles. As well credits will go to people working behind the scenes!
WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FROM YOU
If you are looking for a project (specifically manga dub), and have a lot of time in your schedule, we encourage you to audition. We’re going to be quite strict on deadlines for this one as we’re expecting to record all chapters (Chapter 1 - 48) from season one in 3 - 4 months; 5 months max. The deadline is tight, but we’re hoping to get this out rather than dragging this for a year. Other projects might take over 2 years and so to finish, but I don’t want to keep you guys hanging for a year and I believe you all got better things to do in life. So if you’re looking for a project that gets things done quickly, we would be happy to have you on board. PLEASE HAVE DISCORD as this will be our main communication base. Good audio quality and able to exile perfectly on the performance for the character you’re playing. We also recommend you to read the manga to get an idea. It’s sort of a mandatory requirement. So if you don’t have the time to read, we may not consider you. Also have fun while working on this project!!
ANY OTHER WAY TO BE APART OF IT
If you have read this manga and loved the series, and do not wish to take on the voice actor/actress role, we’re open to have any behind the scenes crew. This includes but not limited to: Producers, writers, audio mixers, editors, creative team and organizers. If you’re interested to be in the BTS (Behind The Scenes) crew, send me a private message on CCC and we’ll discuss any questions you may have or curious to know more about. There’s no limit to how many people can be apart of, but you’ll be going through some screening and quick interview to determine if you’ll be eligible for the role(s) or not.
Required: Show your work sample (if you select an editor/sound mixer role), have read or familiarize yourself with this manga (not required but is an asset), and able to take charge and can meet deadlines.
Any other roles suggestions, please let me know! You will be credited through both our opening/ending theme for this manga dub for your hard contribution.
AUDITION PROCESS
The audition will be within a month and will not be extended (unless due to certain circumstances). In each character, I added a note, please be advised and read these notes to understand what we’re looking for. In some character auditions, there are “Voice Sample” with a link to it. Listen to the sample by clicking on the link. These are the voice ranges we’re generally looking for. These voice samples are recorded during the project workshop as an early experiment to see if this project should go forward and be green-lit. As you can now see, it’s official! Feel free to come up with your own take as well!
If you have not read it, take a look at some chapters to get the idea what’s to come before auditioning. (Manga: Shishunki Bitter Change). So join our Shishunki Bitter Change Dub Family and good luck on your auditions!
