Casting Call ^BETA » Sonic Adventure 2: Redubbed (SA2 FANDUB)

"Eggman is a short-tempered, raucous, pompous, and cruel evil genius who is constantly planning to take over the world. His primary motivation throughout most games is his psychotic belief of self-entitlement. Arrogant and narcissistic, he constructs countless technological wonders in his own image to fuel his massive ego, usually reinforced by his goal of finally constructing the Eggman Empire, and doesn't care where it starts.

Although Eggman is a villain, he helps Sonic when the world is at stake; though the reason is always because he knows there would be nothing left for him to conquer if the planet was destroyed. In some of his incarnations, he actually displays a begrudging respect of his arch-enemy, Sonic.

Although Eggman is known for childish outbursts when angry, there are instances where he comes across as stoic and even-toned when extremely aggravated or during very serious situations. Notable instances of this include the Station Square incident, after Tails not only beat him to his crashed missile but also disarmed it, leaving any chance at him destroying Station Square to be impossible, he proceeded to threaten the young fox while barely even raising his voice."



-Character Description taken from the Sonic Wikia.





Dr. Eggman has recently found a journal from his grandfather, Gerald Robotnik, a super scientist, detailing a "Project Shadow" that was locked away in a government facility 50 years ago. Eggman breaks into this government facility, and frees "Project Shadow," who tells him about a space colony floating in the earths atmosphere, "ARK." now just dubbed "Shadow," he tells Eggman about a laser cannon on the ARK that could cause massive damage to the Earth if all 7 Chaos Emeralds, powerful gems, are inserted into it. Eggman, teaming up with Shadow, decides to search for the emeralds, so that he may put forth his dream of world domination.

In terms of performance, im looking for something akin to Deem Bristow's or Chikao Ōtsuka's take on Eggman. this does not mean I want you to do an impression however, this is just a reference for what im going for. your also welcome to freestyle the voice if you'd like.



out of the lines below, only read Eggman's. these lines are taken from SA2, and the transcript im using is also taken from the sonic wikia.

"Knuckles is independent, wild, tough, and a loner by nature. Like how Sonic embodies the wind, Knuckles embodies the mountain; stern, unmovable and anchored to his duty. Due to having lived in seclusion for most of his life, Knuckles is a rather antisocial and reclusive individual. As such, he cares very little about what others think, which makes him bluntly honest, straight-forward, and somewhat egotistical.

Knuckles is fiercely loyal to his homeland and does whatever is in his power to protect it. He prefers to stay close to the island's current emerald shrine to keep a watchful eye over everything at his home.

Knuckles is usually solemn, stoic, collected, and usually likes to be by himself. He is likewise stubborn, headstrong, and inflexible, preferring to do things his way, which causes him to clash with others. Regardless, he is very strong-willed, seldom wavering in his determination and will not give up on his goals once he has set them. While he is cool and determined in battle, Knuckles has an extremely short and wild temper and is hard to reason with when he is angry. Though his temper has often been known to get him into trouble, Knuckles has also learned to use it to his advantage by channeling it into his fighting skills."

Knuckles was guarding the Master Emerald, a giant jewel that commands power of the Chaos Emeralds, when a bat girl arrived and tried to steal it. While Knuckles and the bat girl were arguing about this, Dr. Eggman swooped in and tried to steal it for himself, in which case Knuckles tried to destroy it out of the Doctors clutches, knowing he can reform it by gathering the pieces. the pieces of the Master Emerald now scattered about the planet, Knuckles goes on a search for the pieces to reform the Master Emerald.



For knuckles Vocally, I want something akin to Nobutoshi Canna's knuckles. but you'd be welcome to free Style it. But this does not mean I want you to do an impression, this is just a guideline for how I want knuckles to sound vocally.



Out of the following lines, I want you to read only Knuckles. I got these lines from a transcript of SA2, which I also got off the Sonic Wikia.

"Tails is a gentle-hearted, sweet-natured and loyal fox with a positive attitude. In the beginning, he was timid and quiet, but he has opened up and become more outgoing over the years. Tails is not one to grab the spotlight for himself and instead, is always ready and willing to help others without asking for anything in return.

Tails has a distinct love for mechanics and he finds himself most at home in his workshop working on his next creation. Despite his great skills, Tails is very humble about his abilities, never giving them many thoughts, though he has yet to discover his true potential of what he can accomplish.

A turning point for Tails came in Sonic Adventure; when Station Square was in danger of being destroyed, Tails was the only one who could stop this. With Sonic nowhere to be found, Tails realized that he could not depend on Sonic forever and had to try on his own. After saving Station Square, Tails realized he could be independent and support himself without Sonic, and all he needed was determination and faith. Since then, Tails has become more independent, self-confident, motivated and brave, as well as rising up to be a real hero when needed."

After hearing about the arrest of his best friend sonic, Tails finds out where he's being held and attempts to break him out of the prison he's held in, finding Amy Rose who has the same goal, and have a brief scuffle with Eggman along the way.





I don't really have a vocal reference for this role, as long as he sounds realistically like a child.

“Somewhat kind and girly, Amy is presented as an over-enthusiastic, but good natured hedgehog girl with a preference for cute things, sweets, and shopping.[14] In Sonic the Hedgehog CD, she was referred to as an "optimistic tomboy" who loves fortunes and uses tarot cards. Because of her tomboyish nature, she became a playable character as a fighter in Sonic the Fighters. However, after Sonic Adventure, Amy had grown a more feminine personality, such as an interest in shopping and fashion, but that did not remove her tomboyish nature. However, in the later games, she has the personality of a girly-girl more so than a tomboy, unlike the earlier games. In the more recent games, Amy has become a bit more obsessive and far more aggressive, much to Sonic's dismay. She often shows her anger by pulling her Piko Piko Hammer out of Hammerspace, sometimes threatening Sonic with it. That being said Amy is rather temperamental, bossy, overbearing, and stubborn, much to the annoyance of a few characters.

In Sonic Battle, her attraction towards "Boxercise" plays to both elements of her ever-changing personality: the exercise helping her lose weight to maintain her girlish figure, and the boxing to help her train when she's forced to fight. In Sonic Battle, she had shown a very powerful and aggressive attitude, willing to fight whenever necessary.

Despite her aggressive tendencies, Amy has a kind heart, never gives up, and is one of the most optimistic and cheerful characters. Amy is always full of hope and is always cheering on for the good side of things. She almost never seems to find anything hopeless, as shown in Sonic Adventure, where she was determined to help the bird who had lost its family.”

I don't have a preference for how I want Amy to sound, as long as it fits her personality.





Out of the following lines I want you to read only Amy’s. these lines were taken from a transcript of SA2, which I got from the Sonic Wikia.

“while frail in appearance, Maria was strong in spirit. Eternally cheerful, optimistic and positive despite her condition, Maria could see the good in almost anyone or anything. She was likewise a very kind, caring and thoughtful soul who always put others before herself, supported her friends, and held an unconditional love for the people of the world, even showing compassion towards her enemies when they were distressed. Because she never got down to Earth, Maria was very interested in the planet and wished to see it. She was as well very encouraging as she could make others accept themselves and calm others down when in stressful situations, including Shadow.

Always gentle and thinking about others before herself, Maria was one who found it easier than most to forgive and forget, not to mention trust. Even after GUN violently raided the ARK and shot her down, Maria did not hold any ill will against the people on earth and only wished for them to live happy lives. She was also utterly selfless as she sacrificed her life for Shadow's sake, having faith he would carry on her dreams for her.”



-Personality description taken from the Sonic Wikia.



Maria Robotnik was diagnosed with a terminal illness at a young age. Lived aboard the ARK, a Space Colony, Built by her great uncle, most of her life. Because of this, her great uncle, Gerald Robotnik, a super scientist, attempted to create the ultimate life form to possibly cure her. This eventually succeeded, creating a hedgehog named Shadow, who grew to become great friends with Maria, before she was killed by a government branch, who were raiding the ARK because of numerous secret and illegal projects Gerald created. Shadow was then sealed away in a secret government facility after this event for 50 years.



Vocally I don't have a preference for how Maria sounds, as long as she sounds like a little girl.



The following lines are from an SA2 transcript I took off of the Sonic Wikia, I want you to read only Marias lines.

“Rouge is a strong-minded young woman. A fearless, ambitious, independent, flirtatious, greedy, calculating narcissist who most people see as only caring for herself and gems. It is shown in Sonic Generations that Rouge can be referred to a temptress, due to her seductive ways. Her carefree and playful attitude can be fun to some characters, like the easygoing Sonic, or annoying for others, like the gruff Knuckles. She has a lot of pride and will fight dirty when facing a formidable opponent, such as Knuckles (when it comes to strength; hindering his sight in a dark tent). She can also show a bashful side, such as the time Knuckles saved her life from falling to her doom and became very embarrassed before concealing it with disgust, outrage, and ingratitude. She can also be a bit of a hypocrite, especially in regards to thefts. This is especially evident when, after witnessing the Master Emerald being stolen, she refers to the one stealing it as a thief despite the fact that she herself had stolen it from Knuckles earlier, something the echidna even noted by saying "Look who's calling who a thief", and in Grand Metropolis stage when she calls robots energy thieves.

Rouge is also at times a government spy who often works for her own gain. Rouge has a great obsession for jewels or even anything else that shines or glitters. She also has little to no qualms about lying and manipulating others, often using her charms and attractiveness to seduce and take advantage of others, just to get what she wants (such as kissing Tails in Sonic Battle). However, she has, on many occasions, shown she can be heroic, possess loyalty, care about others, or, at least, have some degree of morality. In the final events of Sonic Adventure 2, she helped save the planet from destruction.”

Rouge The Bat, being a jewel thief, was after the biggest jewel of them all, the Master Emerald. While getting into a confrontation with the Emeralds Guardian, Knuckles The Echidna, the notorious Doctor Ivo “Eggman” Robotnik tried to swoop in and steal it while both of them are distracted. Knowing the emerald can be resembled, knuckles leaps into the air, shattering the emerald into pieces, scattering across the planet. While Rouge and Knuckles are arguing about this act, Eggman gets away, leaving Rouge and Knuckles to both look for the pieces of the master emerald. Along the way, Rouge Follows Dr. Eggman onto a space colony, called “ARK.” on the ARK a black hedgehog called “Shadow” was informing the Dr. that There is a laser cannon on the ARK, that will emit immense power once all 7 Chaos Emeralds were inserted into it.

What they don’t know though, is that Rouge is a Spy for hire, sent to spy on Dr. Eggman for the president of the united states.



Vocally, I'd like Rouge to sound like Kathleen Delaney, or Rumi Ochiai's depiction of the character. im not looking for an impression or anything, this is just a guideline for how id want her to sound.



out of the following lines, I want you to read only Rouge's. the following lines are taken from a transcript of SA2, which I also got from the Sonic Wikia.
