Symphogear English Fandub
Project Overview
This is a fandub of the popular and famous Symphogear anime. For those unfamiliar, Symphogear is about a girl who becomes a superhero with armor powered by song, and joins a team to fight various creatures attacking the city. This is planned to be a short, faithful fandub focusing on the first 2 episodes of the series (from the first season), at least for now.
For the 3 Symphogear characters (in these 2 episodes), you may audition for both speaking and singing, or one or the other. For singing auditions, the song can be sung in Japanese, in English, or in a language or translation of your choosing.
The deadline may change or get pushed back over time. I will post an update or 2 if I decide to move the date. Some character descriptions or voice requirements may be subject to change over time. Also, some of the more technical or crew-related roles outside of characters and voiceovers may be selected either as a first-come, first-serve basis, as an interim/temporary position, or both, so if someone was selected for something technical and you still want to audition, feel free to do so if you're still able. If you're unable, let me know.
NOTE: If a role is listed as casted, you may still audition for said character(s), since the roles picked might not entirely be set in stone, at least yet.

I'm going to be a bit looser with the deadline for this fandub as a means of filling in all of the cast and crew roles that are still needed. Also, the scripts for the first 2 episodes are now complete.
Hibiki is a cheerful girl who loves to help others. She's selfless and will always resort to talking before fighting, unless there isn't any other option. After activating her new Symphogear, she swears to use her power to protect others. Hibiki has a higher medium voice.
This role is also open to, but not limited to, singers as well, since the character sings in the show during battles. When she sings, her voice is a little nasally, but she can hit very high and low notes.

(energetic and happy yet somewhat chill tone) *Sigh* What a rough day I had today. But I'm glad to see you, Miku.
(scared, nervous tone) Is this it? Is this the end? Are we gonna die from the Noise?!
(Attack scream, slowly building up in intensity, i.e. "aaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!")
Tsubasa was once a member of the singing duo, Zwei Wing, that she and her best friend Kanade were apart of. She was shy, and rarely ever came out to anyone who wasn't Kanade. After a tragic incident costing Kanade her life she took her own path as a solo artist. But Tsubasa became aloof and cold to others, and refuses to work with Hibiki whenever she joins 2nd Division, even though she eventually opens up to her in the future. Tsubasa has a deep, strong voice.
Like Hibiki, she sings in the show. In addition to her deep, strong voice, she can also hit very high notes and often uses vibrato when singing.
- english
(soft, cold tone) I'll go. I'll fight them off on my own.
(cold, but angry tone and somewhat enraged voice) I'll never fight with you. If I had the chance, I'd attack you for wearing my dead friend's gear.
(Attack noises, grunts, sounds, etc. in battle)
Kanade is the late best friend of Tsubasa. She was brave and kind, especially to Tsubasa, and always had a spicy and cheerful personality before her unfortunate death. Kanade has a deep voice, it's intense and a bit nasally, but only slight.
- english
(when heading/charging into battle) Let's fly, Tsubasa!
(serious tone) I'll have to sacrifice myself to save Tsubasa and this girl.
*Attack screams, grunts, pants, etc.*
Miku is Hibiki's best friend and is always by her side. She's polite, kind, soft spoken, and is usually the one who has to keep Hibiki in place so she doesn't get in trouble with her antics. She has a high soft voice.
In a flash-forward scene in an episode, she mourns over the loss of her friend and is really torn up about it as she cries. Keep this in mind in the audition.

To be honest, the teacher gets mad at you because you keep slacking off.
(happy and quiet) I'm so glad I have you as a friend.
(crying) Why did you have to go? I miss you. Please come back.
Hibiki's teacher is a teacher at her Music Academy who has a lack of patience for Hibiki's tardiness and underachieving in school. She has the voice of a somewhat older woman, teacher or anime character, occasionally going to a higher, louder tone when she is screaming or yelling at Hibiki.

(yelling) Tachibana!
(scolding) So? How does that affect anything, Hibiki?

These are three of Hibiki's classmates - Shiori, Kuriyo, and Yumi - who sometimes talk to Hibiki, see what she's been up to, or wonder what she's up to, since she is secretly going to fight the Noise behind their backs.
At least 3 voices are needed.
