PLEASE READ THE WHOLE POST! No tl;dr in this thread.



Undertale I feel has begged for an animated series and I’ve been inspired to be the one to get this done. That being said I’m in no way a professional and there is no way I can do this by myself as I have no skills as an animator or as voice talent. No to the contrary it will take a rather large team to get this done properly.



I’ve seen plenty of talented people within the Undertale fandom and feel something truly impressive could be created if the best of us get together to work on this. At this point I’m looking for one or two writers to help me develop the framework of the adaptation of the story I’ve created. I want to work in all the various types of playthroughs and I think I’ve found a way to do just that. Beyond that am also looking for voice actors and I’ll get to how to submit auditions to me in just a moment.

Not taking animators at the moment because that will be its own monster and will require all of my attention so I want to get the other positions filled in first so that I can do just that. The major obstacle on that front is going to be getting enough talented animators together and then collaborate on what the actual animation style is going to be like.

Also please keep in mind to pull off a quality animation standards must be kept high. This means be prepared for rejection this the vast majority of people applying to work on the project will NOT make it onto the team. That being said if you’re afraid of rejection please don’t apply as I hate breaking hearts as it is and want to keep this process as painless as possible. And of course don’t be afraid to get the word out about this project. If there is someone whose work you enjoy whether it be their fanfics, voice dubs, or fanart feel free to tell them about the project and encourage them to apply.

How to submit an application for a voice talent position

To submit an application for a voice talent position on this project please email me voicing your interest and the following information. My email will be provided at the very end of this post.

Name (or internet alias):

Experience: Have you ever done any voice acting work in the past?

Audition: To send in your audition email it as an attachment wav file to the address provided at the very bottom of this post. Please state the character you are auditioning for before reading the sample lines provided for the character (sample lines for each character will be provided below). This is just for the first few characters and other characters will be announced as the first few rolls are filled. Sample lines contain minor spoilers for Undertale but have not been put in spoiler tags due to formatting issues.

Frisk

Voice Direction: Frisk is suppose to be gender neutral which makes this difficult but the English dub of Tsukasa(.hack/sign) and Ed(Cowboy Bebop) are two examples of voices that come across as gender neutral which is appropriate to the character. I’m not saying you have to do an exact impression of either character but do try to come up with a voice that couldn’t easily be attributed to either sex.

Sample Lines:

“So do you know how I could get home from here?”

“Puzzles? I love puzzles! ”

“Hey sans I’m getting kinda hungry. Do you think we could go to grilby’s now?”

“But I don’t hate spiders at all! I even bought a donut from some back at the ruins. ”

“Stop! Please, I don’t want to fight!”

Papyrus

Voice Direction: A not so grumpy Skeletor(He-Man).

Sample Lines:

“Powerful! Prestigious! Popular! That’s Papyrus! The newest member of the royal guard! ”

“Wowie! We’re really going on a date!”

“Human! I see great potential within you. Everyone can be a great person if they try!”

“Good thing I brought my MTT brand anime powder with me.”

“You’re blue now! That’s my attack! The attack of the great papyrus! Nyeh heh heh”

Toriel

Voice Direction: Is saying “do a mom voice” not enough direction? The only other thing I can say is I think Toriel should sound a bit older than the rest of the cast without going into grandma territory.

Sample Lines:

“Greetings child I am Toriel, caretaker of the ruins.”

“”Prove to me you are strong enough to survive.”

“Do you really hate me…that much?”

“I must leave you alone for a moment my child so please take this cell phone and call me if you need anything.”

*speaking on the phone * “Hello? This is Toriel. For no reason in particular, do prefer cinnamon or butterscotch?”

Sans

Voice Direction: Sans voice should for sure be on the deeper side but not so much that you sound like you have a cold. That said keep your voice flexible as in if you’re having trouble inflecting on words loosen it up until it feels more natural. One thing that is important for the character is there should be a major tone shift between sans when he’s joking and sans when he’s letting on how much he really knows about the world.

Line Samples:

“I’m sans. Sans the skeleton.”

“Wow, sounds like you’re really working yourself…down to the bone.”

“The time has come for you to be judged. You’ll be judged for your every action and inaction. For every person you’ve helped and for everyone you’ve hurt.”

“I’d love to help you out papyrus but I have a skeleTON of work to do myself.”

“You should probably make your way over to Snowdin now. Or you could just stand there and listen to more of my hilarious jokes.
