Dragon Ball GT: Retelling

Are you funny? Can you do voices? We need your help!

Dragon Ball GT: Retelling is an abridged parody series.
"Like there aren't enough of those already."
Hey! We focus on quality. Our goal is to make a series that's just as enjoyable as TeamFourStar's Dragon Ball Z Abridged. But we can't do it ourselves. We need some more team members. As of right now, we're using this thread for recruiting. Once we complete a few episodes, we'll use this thread to post them. It's like recycling.

Anyway, we're searching for some more VAs and some script writers. To try out, give us a sample of what you have. Record some voices and upload them to YouTube or any other easy to use streaming site. If you'd like to help out with script and jokes, whip up a quick draft of something you think would work in the series. If we like your work then we'll ask for your help. Please don't be offended if we don't choose you though, we'd like to keep the team small enough to be manageable.

For voice actors, we are looking for wide ranges. Voices that mimic the FUNimation dub or are relevant in some way to the intended character.

Voice Spots Open
Pilaf
Mai
Rildo
Dr. Mui
Bra/Bulma

For script writers, we're looking for lolz. Like the Dragon Ball Z Abridged series, our goal is to not have a single moment where the audience isn't laughing or smiling. Satire, slapstick, jabs and Toei and FUNimation, and inside jokes are all things we're looking for. The script is a collaboration though, so don't feel like it's all up to you to write the whole thing. We're wanting bits and pieces from several people to fit together.

Any other ways that you would like to help would also be greatly appreciated. We welcome suggestions or tips in where to take the series.
Here's a sample of what we have in store. It's a little rough, but this is our planned opening. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCJWrhbSIiA

When you become a part of the team, you have to promise to dedicate time and effort. We don't want any flakes. Every person who joins the team will be an equal, it's all self-management.

Team
SSJ4 Furanki - Voices (Kid Goku, more), Script writing
Innagadadavida - Voices (Trunks, more), Editing, Script writing
DarkMagicianLover - Voices (Pan, Videl)
SSJ Helldog - Script writing

(none of this is set in stone. If you can imitate any of these characters better than we can, then you've got the part. But the bar has been set pretty high.)



Disclaimer: We are in no way claiming that we are original whatsoever. We are totally ripping off and even somewhat riding off the success of TeamFourStar and their Abridged series.

Whoo, I've failed at the promo and maybe only got one good thing out of, what used to be "Episode 1: Preview" we figured that, we could get some help with this, voices and script.

I'm not that bad at making jokes, I'm just not used to doing Dragon Ball jokes, the only thing I think I successfully made to make fun of DB is this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d0cBWbh90C8

But, that might be totally different from an abridged styled series.

Why is the intro in widescreen? Is the entire series going to be widescreen as well?

That's the plan. This is not intended to be a replacement for the series so anybody longing for the missing footage can watch the actual show. It's just because YouTube is 16:9 and I hate black bars. Do you think it should be 4:3?

I do, but it doesn't really matter. Like you said, it's not a replacement for the series.

Might I recommend that you kidnap everyone on TeamFourStar and have them voice all the characters. Or at least abduct MasakoX and have him do the voice for Goku?

By the way, I do not condone the use of kidnapping or violence in any way. I do however find it hilarious. AHHH-HAHAHAHAHA!!! That was a DBZ Abridged joke.......It was so much funnier when they did it :(

I'm keeping the widescreen within reason. Like in the intro, the part where trunks smacked the monster in the face, I actually panned the footage to the very top for that whole clip. I'm keeping an eye on stuff to make sure there's no important information missing.

I'm not totally sure, so far I'm doing both Kid Goku and Adult Goku's voices. However, SSJ4 Goku is still not cast. Maybe if MasakoX is willing to make a cameo, we could maybe get him for SSJ4 Goku. But, really all my Adult Goku voice is, is Kid Goku but with a deeper pitch, no digital editing, Just me messing around with pitch and tone.

As SSJ4 knows, I do some voicework. I'd be happy to help you guys, though I don't know what I'd fit.
[quote="Brakus"]For all the flack that FUNimation gets on this forum for their quote about DBZ, there's some modicum of truth to it: a 9-year-old is born every day. Or in some cases, "reborn". DBZ may be a kids' show, but it's been so close to so many hearts all over Japan, America, and quite possibly, even the world.[/quote]

I do some comedy writing but parody isn't my forte. I'll go through a few episodes of GT and see if anything comes to mind.

For now, might I suggest that Goku's primary concern with his child form is that his dick shrinks? Naturally you should censor the word "dick," and have characters say it often.

Trunks: "Come on guys, we've got to find the dragon balls and save the Earth!"
Goku: "And my *beep*!"
Pan: "And grandpa's *beep*!"
Videl: "Pan, don't talk about your grandpa's *beep*."
Pan: "Why not? It's not like it's taboo or anything. Grandpa whips his *beep* out all the time."
Videl: "Can you at least call it something besides "beep*?"
Pan: "Like what? Chiaotzu?"

Maybe you could draw out the part where Goku doesn't remember Pilaf. Have him mention every time he shows up in DB and Z (isn't there a brief cameo?), show quick clips, and have Pilaf become personally offended at having been forgotten. Goku could become appologetic and completely forget about the gigantic red dragon in the sky.

Dude! That was hilarious! Do you think you can write more? Do you want to join the group?

I agree, but I usually don't censor words, but if dick, cock, etc. ends up being overused, censoring them might actually make it funnier.

That's true, but yeah. I wouldn't really know either.

Yeah, I'll lend a hand. Maybe working on something like this will help get my mind geared more towards comedy. I'm trying to become a professional screenwriter, but I mainly work in sci-fi. I also do a mean Vegeta voice. I've got a few days off work coming up; maybe I'll record some.

Great! You're on board. Brainstorm in your free time, see if you can get some jokes down.

I'm 14, and my voice hasn't really broken yet, so if you need any kids or anything like that (fire SSJ4Furanki and let me be Goku!) I'll be up for the job. I've made a few fake stand-up videos with friends at school in my day, so I like to think I'm funny. I've even got a shiny mic and everything. ;)
