Voice Over! Seiyuu Academy manga abridge, V1CH1(<-ONLY)(Animated Oshi no Ko style)
Project Overview
Seiyuu Ka is a shojo manga but also about voice acting by Maki Minami published in 2009. Since it's very y2k and has not been animated I'm going to be doing an animated version (with the help of some of my friends) of it. A bit different compared to the original aka making it more relatable to my generation because representation 07, and also a bit of an oshi no ko style because band wagoning. Although the script has been created already, I am highly recommending improv and a lot of bouncing off on each other's performances comedically as it is an abridge. Also, this is not ADR work, since I'm animating from scratch only using manga as reference, voice actor will be needed before finalizing the animation; therefore, VA only be seeing the rough storyboards of the animation so I can animate lip flps and timing.
VA requirement
☆Discord username (discord will be main form of communication!) (⸃ ◡ ⸂)
★Minimal background noise
☆Patience! Animating takes time
★Appropriate humor (irony, random, exaggeration, many others I can't remember how to describe)
-I appreciate most humor(if its funny) almost all different types will make me laugh (unless it's like genuinely mean and not funny) please be aware of others comfort zones.
☆(Not required but more of a tip, bc there is no voice reference) Read character description !
- Keep in mind that I have the freedom to change the character designs(and will do), and that pic of characters below with their description is not their final design either
★Finally and most importantly have fun, it'll make great practice or/and will be good for reel/portfolio

Tsukino is a first-year student in the voice acting department. She's one of the bottom Four Stragglers simply because her voice is too soft. She feels insecure about her soft voice, but takes a deep liking to Hime when she compliments her soft voice. Even though Tsukino looks the innocent girl type, she is involved with the black arts and has been known for cursing others, especially Mitchi. History: When Tsukino was little, she was praised for her voice. She read stories to other people, and it would amaze them. She was given the same praise by the kids when she started elementary school. However, during middle school, she was accused of seducing boys with her voice by female classmates, they also called her voice disgusting. She became embarrassed of her voice. During this time Tsukino met Yukari-sensei, a female teacher who was Tsukino's middle school homeroom teacher (mentioned in chapters 39 and 40). Yukari-sensei is the main reason Tsukino became a voice actor.

Due to his unknown schedule, there is a slight chance that he might be recasted.

Mizuki is one of the main characters but he is not present in vol 1 chapter 1. Has only one line, and the rest are just him talking in the background very rarely.
- those types of guys that are able to charm girls with their voice
- kind-hearted
- mysterious person (no one really knows much about him except for his best friend Shuuma. He can also be quite mean because of his painful past. When Hime is around, it hurts him because she reminds him so much of a girl from his past named Sana.)

Silly violence isn't good, Shuu.
*murmur to fans*
Pretty guy, popular voice actor cares allot about Mizuki, not very present in this chapter either.
(Smiling) Why not?
A match of first years against second years sounds like fun, doesn’t it, Mizuki?
*murmur to fans*
Half Japanese half French. When he voice act his French accent disappears. He is a first-year student in the voice acing department and is the one of the 4 dropouts of the voice acting class. His voice is excellent, but the reason he is in the dropout class is because he refuses to give up his foreign accent. He is full of himself, and he easily breaks under pressure. He was supposed to be the prince in their Snow White showdown, but Tsukino cursed him when he belittled Hime's talents, thus causing him to fall extremely ill before their performance. He often takes a leadership role in the dropouts' group. He also likes to play with puppets and is a masochist.
