The Garden of Sinners Comic Dub: Kokutou and Shiki’s Day Out
Project Overview
First off, thank you for checking out this project! There's an amazing pool of talent on this website, and I can't wait to listen to everyone.
Kokutou and Shiki’s Day Out is a safe for work doujinshi (artist Halcon) from the The Garden of Sinners/Kara no Kyoukai series; this comic dub will be released on my YouTube channel alongside a video essay I’ve been writing on Shiki Ryougi and Mikiya Kokutou’s relationship. At the moment, I’m aiming for the videos to be released in June of this year – but rest assured, everyone involved will be paid as soon as their finalized work has been submitted to me. Auditions for cast members will close on March 30th, 2022, 11:59 PM PST.
I've cast the role of Shiki Ryougi to myself, but I'll need three more voice actors for the roles of Mikiya Kokutou, Azaka Kokutou, and Touko Aozaki. I'll also be needing the help of 1-2 audio engineers and 1-2 video editors to make this project a reality.
Here are the rates staff will receive:
Mikiya Kokutou, $30
Azaka Kokutou, $15
Touko Aozaki, $10
Audio Engineer(s) $40
Video Editor(s) $40
I have high standards for auditions, as this is a paid project with a lot of love going into it. Please make sure that you follow these guidelines-- I will assume anyone who does not did not read them, and I will reject the audition.
-
1) Please submit one audition per character at first. You may submit another audition for the same character only if I comment with feedback; making a maximum of two per character. This second audition will be your chance to perfect your performance! Don't think you're out of the running if I don't comment on your audition, though-- maybe you have nothing to fix.
-
2) Here's a link to the comic on google docs: https://tinyurl.com/KSDayOut . Utilize it to gain context and add to your audition, but make sure to act the lines on CCC and NOT the lines directly from the comic! The lines on here have been edited by me to sound more natural, and the same will be done for the final product.
-
3) Two takes per line only, with no script editing of the lines in question-- act them out word by word as they're written in the sections for the role and NOT the comic on google docs. To give yourself a better chance, try and make sure these takes are significantly different either in terms of voice tone or acting. I may ask you to improv a bit on the third line for certain characters; make sure you include these!
-
4) Please only audition if you own a USB or XLR microphone, with very little to no background noise.
-
5) Own an active Discord account, as I will be making a server for cast to communicate and submit lines/work to!
-
6) Own a PayPal account to receive your payment if casted!
-
7) Lastly, familiarity with the series or Type-Moon's other works is not required, but will be greatly appreciated! Go ahead and leave a comment if this is you.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation, and good luck to everyone auditioning!

Latest Updates

Hello everyone! I wanted to say thank you for all of your auditions; I truly didn't expect to receive this many for a series that's pretty under-appreciated within its own universe. Because of the sheer number of auditions, however, I will no longer be commenting on rejected auditions for not following the rules. If you see that your audition has been rejected, please look over the description one more time to see what you might have missed. I place a high value on organization in projects, and it is crucial that the actors I cast be able to follow guidelines without me having to remind them to do so. CCC does glitch sometimes, though; I have already accidentally rejected an actor's audition and messaged them to resubmit. If you see that your audition has been rejected AND you have followed the rules in the description, please shoot me a message or leave a comment! I'm keeping a very close eye on this and will probably contact you myself first, but there's always the possibility of me making a mistake. Once again, thank you, and good luck to everyone auditioning!
An ordinary college student known for his gentle demeanor, extreme sincerity, and "plain but cute" appearance. Frequently dragged into dangerous paranormal occurrences due to his intimate relationship with Shiki Ryougi in the events of The Garden of Sinners/Kara no Kyoukai. In Kokutou and Shiki's Day Out, though, he's just trying to take her on a movie date.
I'm not picky with vocal range for him, but I am looking for someone with a warm and/or soft tone.

[Casual] Shiki, I know this is sudden, but let's go watch a movie. They gave me tickets.
[Firm] No, I don't want to go with anyone else. It has to be you. [Pause] Why? Well...it's because I like you.
This comic has a lot of silly background moments; react like you're getting you're getting slammed against a wall by a girl you're into, or getting your shirt cut up with a knife! (Page 3; Panel 6, Panel 7)
Mikiya Kokutou's younger sister and Touko Aozaki's apprentice in magecraft. Though she appears to be a beautiful honors student, she is drawn to the taboo and has a long-standing crush on her brother-- this often brings out her true aggressive and hot-headed nature.
I'm looking for someone with a mid-to-high vocal range and typical "tsundere" line delivery! The more expressive, the better-- don't be afraid to sound a little crazy to drive the comedic scenes home.

[Disappointed] ...What, Mikiya's not here today?
[Menacing, Exasperated] Why does my brother have to go on a date with that man-woman?!?
Azaka has her fair share of silly moments in this comic; give me your best "repressed fangirl" squeal! (Page 3, Panel 7)
A highly adept mage and puppet master in her thirties; she also owns the detective agency Shiki, Mikiya, and Azaka are employed in. Touko is generally friendly, if not a little nonchalant, but has a bad habit of smoking and suddenly becoming overly-serious to fit her own agenda.
I'm looking for someone with a mid-to-low vocal range who can embody her "cool mom" character type, and a laidback line delivery.
https://tinyurl.com/KSDayOut
[Casual] Hey Azaka, thanks for coming in. [Pause] ...Shiki and Mikiya went to the movies.
[Suddenly serious] Now, about today's mission--
[Proud of herself] Oh, the movie? I was the one who wrote the script. (Page 6, Panel 1)
A psychic from a demon-hunting family with several "personalities", though the presentation she currently maintains is cold, instinctive, and tomboyish. Has complicated romantic feelings towards Mikiya, who she's had a fated relationship with since they met in high school.
I have casted this role to myself! Feel free to listen to my lines below for a taste of what this project will sound like.
[Avoidant] Ah, yeah, just remembered I have an appointment to--
[Done] No. If she's involved some shit's gonna go down...forget it.
[Flustered] ...Why are you so set on going with me...?
Please submit some samples of your work, or a link to your portfolio! I'm looking for someone with experience cleaning up raw voice lines, combining audio from different microphones into a cohesive final product, and experience finding and mixing background music and sound effects.

Please submit some samples of your work, or a link to your portfolio! I'm looking for someone with experience "animating" a comic dub, preferably with artificial camera movements or transitions between panels. If you do not have similar samples, please submit any completed editing work and comment on your plan of attack for this comic dub as if you were casted.
