So, I get emails from
Backstage, which FYI is an entertainment industry trade magazine and website focused on acting.
And I found
this article from today just a moment ago.
This part of that article caught my eye:
“DRAGON BALL: CONSEQUENCES”
The anime “Dragon Ball: Consequences” is seeking voiceover talent. Talent, aged 16 and older, is wanted for various roles. The anime is set for a December or January release. Pay is TBD based on lines. Apply
here!
Hmm...
When I check out the auditions page,
It says
Pilot Productions 99
C. Hinchley, animation supervisor
And it doesn't use FUNi's English Dub names for the characters, so I don't think this is licensed.
And it seems this Pilot Productions outfit has a "Dragon Ball: Consequences" YouTube Playlist (empty for now) at
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=P ... TaFB7OScRx
Very odd, at least in that it makes me question the general legitimacy of any given project listed on Backstage.

It's so weird that an outfit like Backstage (whom I assume is at least a fair deal respectable), would be directly promoting/enabling this guy. I 'd like to think that their standards would be at least a little higher, gah.

For me, it was that they're looking for "actors" 16+. The red flags immediately go up unless they detail their need for official consent from a parent or guardian.
Not a single company would ever allow a minor to sign a contract because... well... those contracts are voidable by the minor. And it's not super smart when your "talent" can walk off the project with no consequences. And if they're not doing contracts, then they're faker than the jewelry you get from a booth at the mall.
Anyway, too much into the weeds here. I've never heard of "Backstage" other than Macy's, so this is all just fan-made YouTube video level stuff to me. But them taking $20.00 for production info is low.
Maybe you can have file a complaint with the bank/PayPal/whatever you used, VegettoEX. I know it's "just $20," but it's the principle of the thing too.

Silly Billy, there are no consequences in Dragon Ball. These people dont get Toriyama. SMH.
