YuYu Hakusho Beyond! Trailer/Teaser (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AmRWvrr0a94)


Project information - For those going through YYH withdrawls, I have been working on writing a sequel series! It starts when Yusuke is about 21. I am working on the scripts in hope of someday getting this work animated, but in the meantime I wanted to try out doing a radioplay of it. Episodes 1-8 are pre-renovated finalized, if you would like to read the scripts (as research for characterization or what-not) here are the links to the post where they first appeared on-line (they are contained inside the Scroll Boxes with the YYH bg).

Audition deadline - No Deadline Until Further Notice. I am currently working on rewritting what I have so far after seeing subbed Eizou Hakusho to help with consistencies. I am debating whether these changes will carry over into the RadioPlay or not.
For characters from the original series, please try to sound as much like the original Eng VAs as possible,
For characters that I have added...FREE REIGN! Let me hear your own creative interpretation!
Some of my cast I have not heard back from. I will be lenient with them (after all, they have been patient with me) until I need thier parts. If I have not heard back from them by then, I will recast those parts. Open auditions for already casted parts are indicated by a ~*~

NEED:
~*~(Female) Name: Shizuru Kuwabara
Age: 24
Bio: Kazuma Kuwabara's older sister. She's one tough cookie who will beat up her little brother at the drop of a pin. Strong minded, and usually can solve a problem with a blatant answer that makes sense.
Voice type: Med-low Female, a bit raspy (also sounds like Uo from Fruits Basket)
Audition line 1: Well of course I came; didn't baby bro say that I'd be here as soon as I was done with my job interview?
Audition line 2: (introverted) Whatever is delaying them, Kayko will be in danger if she goes, I must distract her...

~*~(Female) Name: Yokira--Demon Form
Age: We know for sure it's over 1,500 but still young; she is the same age as Yoko Kurama
Bio: Yoko Kurama's sister. She has power over the element Earth. Out of their pack, she was the closest to Yoko Kurama and was the only one who didn't really tease him. She has an undying devotio towards her brother, but a fierce loyalty to Remayolo.
Voice type: Low cunning female voice; smooth and wise {and I mean LOW! Like middle C is the middle of her range low, I'm looking for Contralto low}
Audition line: Gee, I'd hate to do this {not really}...but earlier I heard mention of a human mother you care for? ... Her safety should be worth some good old family time...

RECAST:
Name: Kurama/Suichi Minamono
Age: 22
Bio: Once was a spirit fox that evolved into a demon-the notorious Yoko Kurama. He was wounded and escaped death by merging with an unborn child. His human father died when he was young but the overpowering love of his mother changed him into a kind and considerate soul. When he reunites with his siblings, he struggles over his new and old personality and life.
Voice type: Low adult male; very intelligent; John Burgmeier (ie Shigure from Fruits Basket or Eyes (w/o the British accent) from Spiral)
Audition line 1: I vowed to protect you, I am sorry that the price of your protection will hurt you so much.

NEED:
(Female, but can be done by a male) Name: Genkai
Age: Dead! But she appears in a flashback, very old and on the verge of death

Voice type: Broken scratchy, same as Frieza from DBZ
Audition line 1: Shut up, and don't waste your energy! I'm old and bound to kick the bucket sooner or later.
Audition line 2: Kurama. I don't believe you have met my grandniece Midori yet.

(Female) Name: Midori Minamono *who wants to be married to Kurama?* *hearts*
Age: 22
Bio: The grandniece of Genkai. She helplessly watched a demon murder her parents at the age of 5. She used to blame herself for her helplessness and vowed to become a demon-slayer. After getting to know Kurama she learned to finally move on with her life. She and Kurama are now married and she is expecting a child.
Voice type: Med-low Female, young but mature, Think of a younger version of Genkai with a softer side
Audition line 1: (frustrated, crying) I couldn't save my parents then, and I couldn't save Grandma now.
Audition line 2: Suichi dear, are you home yet? ... There you are...Suichi? ... Is...is everything all right?
**Since Midori is like a younger version of Genkai, I may cast the same person for bot parts, please audition for Genkai if you audition for Midori

Voice type: Low cunning spirit fox, super creepy
Audition line 1: Hoping me to be dead? You would like that, wouldn't you brother? (vindictively) That really hurts though.
Audition line 2: (laughs) How ludicrous. Such a hoax can only be expected from a fake. You must have feigned it.

(Male) Name: Osuko

Voice type: Low female spirit fox, cunning and smooth
Audition line 1: Do let us have a bite!
Audition line 2: (scoffs) So yo're trying to tell us that you wished on the Forlorn Hope, got your wish, yet didn't loose your life? That doesn't hold water.

(Female) Name: Mukuro
Age: Ruled 1/3rd of Demon World for over a thousand years and still young!

Audition line 1: These siblings of Kurama's sound...intriguing...

RECAST:
Name: Kayko Ukimura Urameshi
Age: 21
Bio: Practically perfect in every way. She excelled at everything at school, but married Yusuke because of their special bond that was formed growing up with each other. Now she is a mother while pursuing a career.
Voice type: Med-high adult female (ie Tohru Honda from Fruits Basket but older)
Audition line 1: (chastising) YUSUKE!
Audition line 2: (sarcastically) Fine, go off and have a blast. (pleadingly) Just please come back.

Audition line 2: Enough! Keep in mind the walls have ears.

(Male) Name: Zerk
Age: Ageless demon, but appears around 40
Bio: Leader of the Order of Zerka. Bases his beliefs off of the elements. He has grey-purple skin, two curved horns, and long silver hair.

Yay! I can't wait to hear the auditions of those who have not sent them yet.

I'm sorry about the black, KitsuneSqueak, I copy/pasted it from Microsoft Word, but now I have learned and know better, so hopefully it will run smoother, thank you for notifying me of the problem!

I auditioned as well! I put myself as Masked Auditioner however so people don't see me auditioning for parts and think that I will automatically cast myself. Those two are just my favorite female parts and if I get auditions from others who can do the part, that's less work for me and I would gladly cast them instead...not so I can be lazy, but in the real acting world, I was told directors are not supposed to be in the play as well, you know to keep an outside view of the whole project ^^ I just had to audition for those two becuase they were my creations and a part of me ^^

For those who wanted feedback, I'll try and get that to you by the latest a week after Episode 1 auditions close. Sorry it will take a while, I have to come to the library to DL files and then go home to actually listen to them, but don't worry, feedbacks will eventually be on their way! ^^;

**btw...what kinds of productive feedback can be given? I never have recieved feedback from my auditions, so I'm not quite sure what to say ^^;;; **

For those who have auditioned, please go to my YYH Beyond Project Info on the new Production Manager page and click to say you are auditioning so I'll have your name to cast you, thank you!

I have updated my auditions-I'm not going to press any deadlines until I have finished episode 1 (I've been wrestling w/ a comp that broke down before it was supposed to and been wrestling to recover my harddrive XP and I may be busy with FUNi in the future {I have an interview with them tommorrow! YAY!} so I'm not pressing anything until I have things for sure.

A wonderful KEY update to the start of the thread! I compiled a sort of essay of loose ends from the original series that will be covered in my Beyond! series that you can watch to arouse your interest if you don't feel like reading my scripts before auditioning (and a great collection of original Eng voices to compare to as well!)

TwilightWolf

uh, I got a question, for the first episod Kurama was casted, and for the second episode he's open. So people can audition for him?

alright then, I'll try to sound like Kurama as best I can. I know what he sounds like, both in english and in japanese, but I'll try to sound like the english version as close as I can

Okay, A few questions.

1. Do you care if girls audition for boy parts.
2. Is Kayko open? I saw the 'recast' but I wasn't entirely sure. ^_^

Okay, A few questions.

1. Do you care if girls audition for boy parts.
2. Is Kayko open? I saw the 'recast' but I wasn't entirely sure. ^_^

Answers ^_^

1. Completely ok, I aud for boy parts myself (I'm a girl who sings tenor ^^) and Megumi Ogata is awesome for doing guys voices all the time, however, I'm looking for voices close to the FUNi dub (ie John Burgmeier rather that Megumi-but she's still cool!), so if you can sound like them, great! And for new characters, like I said, free reign!
2. She is! Also even though Botan isn't listed, if I change the radioplay to go w/ my revised script, then she will be open too, as well as Koenma-if anyone cares to aud for them, they can just send in 2 quotes the character says in the series (hopefully showing different emotions) or wait until they open to aud for them.
