Hymn of Unity revolves around a college dropout (Naoko Ono) who ends up finding a pair of broken yet intriguing headphones that somehow end up changing his whole life, literally. The headphones end up possessing his body and wiped his identity clean from the face of the universe. He meets a German traveler (Roland Baumgaertner) and ends up befriending him after a fight that nearly kills them both; they both share the same apartment and are roommates. Many months have passed since then and Naoko is trying to get to the bottom of all the madness swarming around their broken down city, Hashigachi. There are crackheads running about, drug lords harassing residents, cops raiding and questioning about a certain case, and a homeless high school student (Minori Sakurai) constantly rummaging through his trash. More and more strange events roam around the life of Naoko as he tries to clean everything up around Hashigachi.


My name is Paul Meak and I have been working on Hymn of Unity since the summer of 2008, In the recent years, I have lost many of my scripts due to a currupted hard-drive and need to rewrite everything. That's not a problem since I've got the whole anime's composition down. I've created Hymn of Unity because I had an idea to make one of the most unique and less cliche anime there is. I'm not wanting any ego-fed, emo, angsty, or overall overused characters. I wanted to create a setting where it would relate most to a real urban enviornment and drugs, crime, and everything bad. I felt that an indie style anime would be quite fun to do!

The guidelines for auditioning are listed below:

You must have an acceptable quality microphone as we don't want any static or fuzziness.
Files must be in either MP3 or WAV.
Try your best to keep background noise at a minimum as microphone difference between voice-actors can be off-putting.
Please save your files into a compressed folder such as .zip or .rar with your name label on it. (I.E. "firstname_lastname.rar)
When recording lines, be sure to do one line with a minimum of three recordings, each with a different tone, that'll way I can rule out which line would be the best to use.


Additional Information:

When auditioning for a part which has already been filled, you may still audition for other parts or background parts. However, you can still be a candidate for an alternative when the original actor calls it quits.
You must contact me with information about your microphone and what ever role(s) you want to audition for in order to receive the lines for the character(s).
It is highly suggested that you meet the rest of the cast on Skype so that you can be able to give feedback and create a friendly environment in the work space.

I'm very interested in this, but usually a post on these forums needs to be accompanied by audition lines for characters and some sort of deadline. If you fix up your post and add that stuff, I'd be happy to try my hand at auditioning c:

Should I e-mail you the information on my microphone and characters to get lines? Or should I post it here? I'd like to go for Aya Saeki.
