Hello! This is Bryan Ha and WinterGlider, and we are directors from Willow Heart Studios.

For this casting call, we are looking for VAs and editors for our FAN dub of the very popular Snow White with the Red Hair manga. Here is the link to Willow Heart Studios' s YouTube Channel. https://www.youtube.com/user/238vicky16
Snow White with the Red Hair is a fantasy romance drama that follows Shirayuki, a herbalist in the kingdom of Tanburaun who is known for her long, red hair. Being forced to flee her home, she travels to the neighboring kingdom of Clarines, where she meets Zen and his aides in a small cottage in the woods. After helping Shirayuki escape from her pursuers, Zen brings Shirayuki to Clarines, where she trains to be a court herbalist.
Currently we are only casting for chapters 1-3 (including 1.5), but we are planning to continue dubbing further chapters.
Please do not audition if you are under 16.
Please have a decent microphone with little to no background sound.
Please have a discord and be willing to be active on our server. Communication is extremely important. Please type out your discord tag name on your audition.
This may turn into a long term project. Please consider this before auditioning.
Once auditions have closed, we will have a small callback session around Oct 28-30th, and then roles will be announced. If you receive a callback, do expect that you will be invited to a discord server and you will be doing a live callback on one of those three days. If you know that you can't attend the live callback on those three days, do let us know ASAP, and we will provide an alternative.

Thank you for auditioning!
Quick warning. DO NOT BE ALARMED THAT I CAST ALL ROLES TO OFFSITE ACTORS. I completely mis-clicked, and we're trying to fix the issue. We are still doing callbacks from 28th to 30th and some minor roles are cast. Hello friends! First off I want thank you all for auditioning for Snow White with the Red Hair. We hit almost 200 auditions, which is amazing and crazy simultaneously because there's so many talented VAs and editors who are enthusiastic about this project coming into fruition and casting for callbacks was extremely hard. We have finalized our choices for callbacks and are moving forward to contacting them to schedule callbacks. For those who didn't make it to callbacks, do not be discouraged by this. Keep trying and trying. You will get there. Both Winter and I also have future projects and Snow White chapters to cast, so we are keeping all of your auditions in mind for future references. Last, but not least, thank you so much for being brave to audition, perform, and showcase what you have. We will be announcing official names for callbacks and casting for minor roles tomorrow. -
Salutations, an update!
Hello, wonderfully talented friends. First off, WinterGlider and I are extremely excited by the fact that we have over 100 auditions and our casting call got approved by a moderator. I am extremely grateful at the fact that so many people have auditioned for a project that I'm co-director with another awesome director and I'm glad to see that people are liking my feedbacks. I like to be helpful and regardless of whether you get cast or not for this project, I think feedbacks for auditions can help each of you learn and improve on your own individual journeys. Secondly, I like to address and clarify a few things. I fail to mention this, but for callbacks we will only be having callbacks for Leads to Supporting, so Minor Roles and Ensemble will either be cast by the 25th or be cast after the callbacks. After the 25th, there will some of you who will receive a message saying that you made it to callbacks. It is important that you leave your Discord Tag on your auditions because we have the 26th and 27th to add you all into a server, where we host the callbacks on the 27th-30th. If you haven't yet, please do so ASAP. Speaking of callbacks, do be prepared to have your schedule open for those three days because you will be doing your callbacks LIVE. Please try to use the mic you're using to record your lines and if you have any schedule conflicts, let us know ASAP! You don't need to attend all callback days. We're having 3 days of callbacks to keep things open for those who made it. Break a leg! And thank you for sharing your talents and your courage to audition in this call. I learn to view auditions as a performance, especially here because your audition is accessible to everyone in the website, so thank you for being brave to perform. -Bryan Ha P.S. If you have any questions, do let me know.

Voice Range: Med - Med High (Feel free to use the official anime dub as reference, but we are casting based on your own twist and performance to the character.)
[Shirayuki just received news from Sazaki, Prince Raji's aide, that the prince wants her to be his concubine and she is both surprised and dismayed.]
"No way....A street girl like me being picked as the prince's concubine because of my hair color. I will shame the prince.
[Zen, Shirayuki, Mitsuhide, and Kiki have set camp and are cooking their dinner. Zen just told Shirayuki that he will protect her if they are under attack, and she knows that he's trying to act cool.]
"Okay.....then when it is needed, I will scatter powder that will make them cry and sneeze unceasingly and torment them with a burning tongue for several hours. At that time, please take care of the enemy."
[Shirayuki was recently founded and rescued by Zen from Mihaya. As they walk outside, looking out at the scene, Zen asked for Shirayuki to answer Mihaya's unanswered question, which was, 'Where's the place that you said you'd decided to go?']
"That's....the reason that I decided to come to this country. I want to know how you live in this country. Therefore I will find a place where that comes true."

Voice Range: Med Low- Med High (Feel free to use the official anime dub as reference, but we are casting based on your own twist and performance to the character.)
[Zen just ran into Shirayuki at an abandon cottage for the first time. She just offered to heal his injured hand. Since she's a stranger to him, Zen is distrusting.]
"As if I can use something that is suddenly offered to me, which I'm not sure if it's poison or not! I'm not a stupid kid in the forest. I cannot trusts strangers so easily. In other words, we have no need for you here."
[Shirayuki just told him that she fled because a rich man requested her to be his concubine because of her red hair.]

[Zen has been working non-stop at his office, and both Kiki and Mistuhide had been trying to convince him to sleep or rest, so they brought Shirayuki inside.]

[Shirayuki is apologizing and Kiki is reassuring Shirayuki that it's not her fault that Zen ate the poisoned apple.]
"It's okay Shirayuki. It's not something that you have to apologize about. Zen ate the apple himself."
[Zen, Mistuhide, Kiki, and Shirayuki are in their sleeping bags and are gazing at the stars before they go to sleep. Kiki is teasing Mitsuhide for spouting poetry while lying on the side.]

"I bring a message from his highness, "Regarding the treatment of Shirayuki, there have been many complaints from the followers. Therefore, permission for her to enter the palace will be void from now one."
[After Shirayuki's confrontation with Haruka, Obi is impressed by her and gives up, expressing to Zen that he's not a threat.]
