SO! I'm wanting to do something special. I know sometime in the future I want to do a video playthrough of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. But I want to do something different than just the standard Let's Play. I remember the finale of chuggaaconroy's Mother 3 LP where he had a bunch of other people do voices for the characters, and I was thinking...why not do that for the entire LP? I've always thought the Zelda series would make for just as great film as it does games, sooooo...I'm holding open auditions for Ocarina of Time voice actors!!!

Ocarina of Time VA Auditions

YOUR MISSION: Choose a character, think of a voice for said character and record yourself performing said voice. Either use in-game dialogue for your audition (YouTube search it, or skim through this 100% LP for specific scenes) or feel free to improvise. Then email either the sound file (WAV or MP3 file format) to me email address: puppyluver256@yahoo.com. If you don't have a microphone but you have a camcorder, film yourself doing the voice and email it to me. I have a software that can rip audio from video, so it'll be no problem. (EDIT: To avoid confusion, you should probably make mention of your dA username somewhere in the email. Though if you're getting this offsite [ie. from Formspring, Facebook, or YouTube if I can ever decide whether to make a video ad for it or just post a bulliten) and don't have a dA account or rarely use it if you do, just let me know your most used account and I'll link to that. Unless it's Facebook. Then I'll use the old first name, last initial thing, as a favor to protect your privacy. :)

You don't even have to be a Zelda fan to audition! If you're not familiar with the series and just want to get the word out of your acting talents, feel free to audition anyways! My only request is that everyone auditioning for a main character also audition for a secondary character or an extra, just in case you aren't the one chosen for the more prevalent role.

(NOTE: Whenever I've added "current auditionees", that's only those who have currently sent me sound files. So don't feel left out if you plan to audition but don't see your name here. :))

EDIT: added wiki article links (hehe) for each character so those unfamiliar with Zelda can audition as well!

Main characters:

Navi zelda.wikia.com/wiki/Navi
Voice type: High-pitched, slightly annoying. (Only slightly. I don't support Navi-hate in any way.) The closer those auditioning can sound to Kaori Mizuhashi's in-game voice clips, the better.
Preferred VA gender: Female. I will accept a male VA if their voice fits what I'm looking for.
(NOTE: Any auditions including the phrases "Hey! Listen!", "Watch out!" or "Look!" will be ignored. Those lines are already in the game. Though any lines about muffins won't necessarily be turned down...)
Current auditionees: PrincessDiMimi ZootyCutie

Zelda zelda.wikia.com/wiki/Princess_…
Voice type: Delicate, slightly airy. Young Zelda should be more giggly and light-hearted, while Adult Zelda should be more refined. The closer those auditioning can sound to Jun Mizusawa's in-game voice clips, the better.
Preferred VA gender: Female.

Sheik zelda.wikia.com/wiki/Sheik
Voice type: Quiet, airy, distanced. The closer those auditioning can sound to Jun Mizusawa's in-game voice clips, the better.
Preferred VA gender: Female, preferably the same VA as Zelda.

Ganondorf zelda.wikia.com/wiki/Ganondorf…
Voice type: Commanding and powerful, with a touch of class. The guy plays an organ for crying out loud! The closer those auditioning can sound to his in-game voice clips, the better.
Preferred VA gender: Male.
Current auditionees: chaosofkingdoms

Plot-relevant secondary characters:

Great Deku Tree/Deku Tree Sprout zelda.wikia.com/wiki/Deku_Tree…
Voice type: Older gentleman, wisened, possibly with a British accent. For the Sprout, a younger-sounding version of the Tree's voice. Because I would like to have my VAs receive screentime in both the past part and the future part, I would very much like those auditioning for the Tree to be able to also voice the Sprout.
Preferred VA gender: Male. If the first chosen VA cannot do a voice for the Deku Tree Sprout as well, than male or female will work for the Sprout.
Current auditionees: Leonomonn

Saria zelda.wikia.com/wiki/Saria
Voice type: Child-like, one who seems a bit wise beyond her years (after all, just because they never physically grow older, there's no guarantee that the Kokiri aren't much older than they look).
Preferred VA gender: Female.
Current auditionees: DementedStuffing

Rauru zelda.wikia.com/wiki/Rauru
Voice type: Dumbledore.
Preferred VA gender: Male.

Darunia zelda.wikia.com/wiki/Darunia
Voice type: Gruff yet friendly.
Preferred VA gender: Male.

Princess Ruto zelda.wikia.com/wiki/Princess_…
Voice type: Haughty, yet also flirty.
Preferred VA gender: Female.

Impa zelda.wikia.com/wiki/Impa
Voice type: Commanding and forceful. Maybe include some sort of European accent.
Preferred VA gender: Female, though male is also acceptable.

Nabooru zelda.wikia.com/wiki/Nabooru
Voice type: Slightly seductive, maybe with a sort of streetwise tone.
Preferred VA gender: Female.

Malon zelda.wikia.com/wiki/Malon
Voice type: Applejack. Whatever you think is an average farmgirl voice. (I fear I may have driven some people away with the MLP reference. :hmm:)
Preferred VA gender: Female.
Current auditionees: caitkitty

Talon zelda.wikia.com/wiki/Talon
Voice type: Mario. Or whatever comes to mind when you think of a typical farmer.
Preferred VA gender: Male.

Ingo zelda.wikia.com/wiki/Ingo
Voice type: A cranky Luigi, or just a cranky guy in general.
Preferred VA gender: Male.

King Zora zelda.wikia.com/wiki/King_Zora
Voice type: Dignified chubby guy.
Preferred VA gender: Male.

Twinrova (Koume and Kotake) zelda.wikia.com/wiki/Koume_and…
Voice type: Old woman. The closer one can sound to their in-game voice clips, the better.
Preferred VA gender: Female, though male is also acceptable.

Sidequest-related and less important characters: Note: I can handle not having voices for these characters. I mainly want voices for all the characters listed above. However, if someone auditioning for one of the roles listed above doesn't get chosen for that role, this will be a fallback to make sure everyone participating receives a role. Those auditioning for main characters, please also audition for less important characters and extras! I will be giving everyone a role, regardless if it's the first role they auditioned for!

Mido zelda.wikia.com/wiki/Mido
Voice type: Playground bully.
Preferred VA gender: Male, though female is acceptable.

Kaepora Gaebora zelda.wikia.com/wiki/Kaepora_G…
Voice type: Wisened, dignified, with a bit of a hooting quality to it. (Doing an impression of Owl from Winnie the Pooh might help. Or Owl from NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams. I wouldn't be surprised if JoD's Owl was partly inspired by the Poohverse Owl. But I digress.)
Preferred VA gender: Male.

Great Fairies zelda.wikia.com/wiki/Great_Fai…
Voice type: Dignified and majestic. The closer one can sound to their in-game voice clips, the better.
Preferred VA gender: Female, though male is also acceptable. Same voice for all of the Great Fairies.

Cucco Lady (Anju) zelda.wikia.com/wiki/Anju#The_…
Voice type: Your normal voice.
Preferred VA gender: Female.

Skull Kid zelda.wikia.com/wiki/Skull_Kid…
Voice type: Semi-stereotypical nerd. This voice will be used for all three Skull Kids.

Voice type: Your normal voice.

Preferred VA gender: Male.

Graveyard Boy zelda.wikia.com/wiki/Boy_in_th…

I have a bit of a vocal range. Contact me, dearest madam, should you have any parts no one wishes to fill. (By this, I mean that I have done female voices before, because, well, I was recording lines for a game I was making, no one else wanted to participate, I got desperate . . .) Not my finest hour.

In all seriousness, Note me if you have any leftover roles, and I'll be happy to help. No real preference.
