This project aims to create a voice track version, for Youtube, of the long running flash parody series: Chrono Trigger Unglued. I am the official animator and producer of Chrono Trigger Unglued since 2005, beginning with episode 11, although the series actually began back in 2003 by Cryokenetic (even if it didn't first appear on Newgrounds itself until 2004). Our current goal is to eventually voice all 22 existant episodes, as well as future episodes. This is not a wacky voice dub, much of the acting required will need to be straight face acting (that isn't to say there's no emotion, but this universe is not self aware of its parody status unlike some comedy series online right now). It is highly reccomend you watch the series if you intend to participate. I apologize for the low quality of early episodes, it starts to pick up around episode 6. Preferably only people willing to be returning voices should apply. Submissions will be taken as name_character.mp3 to ultrapub@yahoo.com (standard recording settings, do NOT play with them). Speak up loudly and clearly, we do not want any whisperers. The current deadline is set to March 15th. We will be providing official lines to those actually cast, we will be fixing grammatical errors in the old script rather than having you read from the flash file itself (but it's still reccomended you watch it). Just because Cryo didn't care to spellcheck back then doesn't mean we're perform a "dot-dot-dot" style performance of those flubs.

CAST
(For the purposes of the extreme brevity of Episode 1, the casting call will include a character's ENTIRE LINES)

Crono (Every episode so far, except for 16)
Precast: Clovis15

Lucca (Episode 3, 6-9, 14-22)
Precast: Lucca
Also our Video Engineer, be sure to also check out her dub of Magical Starsign on Youtube

Crono's Mom, Gina (Episode 1, 20 and 21)

- Gina is not a psychotic mental case, even if Crono might sometimes make it sound that way, although she does have a mental issue. She carees about her son and is usually very well meaning, but she is constantly forgetting things. Actually, she has pretty much forgotten half the time that she is even forgetting things at all. I guess ignorance is often bliss. Ignore the fact that she threatens to feed Crono to the Damn Cat in Episode 1, characterizations weren't quit set in stone in Cryokenetic's head at the time (the line will be dubbed, but it's not indicative of the character's later appearances).

"Wake up Crono."
"WAKE UP CRONO!"
"WAKE UP OR I AM FEEDING YOU TO THE DAMN CAT!"
"Ah, Leene's Bells make such beautiful music."
"You were so excited about the Millenial fair that you didn't sleep well, did you?"
"By the way, that inventor friend of yours..."
"Uh, you know... Oh dear, I've forgotten her name!"
"That's right, Lucca! Don't forget that she invited you to see her new invention."
"Now here's some money, don't spend it all in one place."
"Run along now, and be back before dinner."

(Yeah, her first appearance almost entirely follows the game's SNES script)

Crono's Cat (Episode 1-3, 10-11, 16, and 21)

- Why Crono's cat one day started talking is something of a great mystery, but he seems to be one particularly foul mouthed feline that doesn't much care for his owner. As evidenced in episode 21, there might be more going on with him than Crono can possibly imagine. I am not entirely sure how I want him to sound, but he is a very angry man. Warning, you will cuss... A LOT... doing this role. Crono's Cat is definitely male.

"Bitch, just get me to Leene's Square so I can go get some fine kitty ass."
"What? Are you deaf AND dumb? Just do it, numb nuts."

ADDENDUM: Since one person got confused, I do not hate Cryo at all. He's a brilliant writer who had a wonderfully twisted way with words that no one could possibly ever match. If I sometimes seem upset with him, its because I almost never see him and that makes it very hard to collaborate with him. Although he stopped writing CTU directly, which will only begin with Episode 24, he's actually still part of the creative team. Furthermore, he's actually written every episode so far (except for Episode 15).

I'll record some lines soon. I've enjoyed what I've seen so far of CT:Unglued.

So what made you decide one day to render an entire voice cast for CT:U? Just curious.

Also, I'm vying for the position of Crono's cat. In terms of personality and/or real voice actor influence (e.g. Jeff Bennet, Jim Cummings, etc.), what exactly did you have in mind as to how you would want him to sound like?

I'm open to various peoples interpretations of how the cat could sound, as I myself am not entirely sure. That said, many on the team think the cat should like an angry black man.

As for why this started, Lucca's (Yes, she calls herself Lucca) dubbing of Magical Starsign made it seem a feasible reality. Also, people have begging me to do this forever. However, before Lucca's technical expertise was offered, it just seemed to be a massive chore and work I really didn't want to do. Also, before hand it was only considered in terms of adding full voicing to the flash files itself... and that's still never happening because it opens up a million nasty technical issues, unless I completely changed much of the way CTU is animated.

UPDATE: I have plenty of Cat submissions (not that you're unwelcome to try for cat if you want to), I really need some Mom submissions.

There will be more parts available in later episodes, perhaps you can have a microphone by then (a functional headset can be had for 20 dollars).
