So the purpose of this thread should be simple. When reading fanfiction (be it yours or someone else’s), do you just read the characters with your own voice, or do you have a rough idea of who you’d cast as them if the fic was produced as a screenplay? And if the latter, then you list your choices.
For my current project, Power Rangers AVX, I don’t have an English cast in mind (since I try to keep my casting realistic. If somebody on my list dies, they get replaced for instalments released long enough after their death), beyond the guy voicing Malgramon also portraying Miles Gorman (spoilers as to why will not be published here). But I do have a Japanese dub cast in mind, since all I have to focus on there is who would be reading the dialogue rather than who’d be physically playing the part. Ricky Jackson/Red Ranger: Daisuke Namikawa (Engine Speedor from Go-Onger) Drew Williams/Black Ranger: Natsuki Hanae (Gakuto from Yu-Gi-Oh SEVENS) Artie Baldwin/Blue Ranger: Shota Hayama (Ultraman Fuma from Ultraman Taiga) Roland McCormick/Yellow Ranger: Jun’ya Enoki (Yomogi from SSSS. Dynazenon) Raquel Collins/Pink Ranger: Akeno Watanabe (Numeri from Tropical Rouge Pretty Cure) Dr. Beck: Toshiyuki Morikawa (Torin from Kyoryuger) Kalia: Fumiko Orikasa (Kanade from Suite Pretty Cure) Mrs. Collins: Rika Fukami (the original Sailor Venus) Chloe Ambo: Yu Kobayashi (Sparda from Mahou Girls Pretty Cure) Villains: Malgramon: Rikiya Koyama (Ohma Zi-O) Bugroth: Tatsuya Hashimoto (Alien Valky from Ultraman Ginga) Damos: Kenjiro Tsuda (Seto Kaiba in Yu-Gi-Oh) Hellivore: Tomokazu Sugita (Ultraman Ginga) Reptillia: Michie Tomozawa (the original Sailor Mars) Malchemist: Tomomichi Nishimura (Moebius from Fresh Pretty Cure) Last edited by Androzani84; 09-22-2021 at 05:10 PM.. |

If it's a fanfic, novel or other media that doesn't have VA, such as Final Fantasy VIII, then I will always take voices from other media based on how I think those characters will sound. Sometimes those voices might change if I get a better understanding of the characters. Can you imagine reading a ship where you're voicing both characters? I think that would be awkward. There are some versatile VAs like Troy Baker and Tara Strong who can be imagined for a lot of different characters.
What about suit actors though? That's something I think about more often when I'm planning original Sentai, to try and think how the characters' body type would translate in to suit. Zyuoh Raven: Yabe Keizou Placeholder Red: Ito Shigeki Placeholder Yellow: Tsutamune Masato Placeholder Green: Imai Yasuhiko Placeholder Violet: Takeuchi Yasuhiro Placeholder Black: Gomi Ryoko Placeholder Sixth: Takada Masashi

Sakura in particular I am able to do a fullbody sketch of (Thanks OllyTrinity1397! [https://www.deviantart.com/ollytrinity1397])
Once I figure out what URL I need to use in order to properly add the image, I will. Last edited by weedle013ZiO; 10-20-2021 at 06:16 PM.. |

I admit I would like to see Will Smith or Bruce Willis as a Power Ranger.

Decided to do some casting for my latest epic, Fractured Infinity.
Since I need the Legend Heroes characters to speak Japanese for the purposes of communication, I’m going with Koki Uchiyama as Liu Bei, Mitsuo Iwata as Guan Yu, Yoshimasa Hosoya as Zhang Jiao and Daigo Nakayama as the equipment voice. For the OG Youkai characters, I’m going with Maria Theresa Gow as Manananggal (and her human disguise), Kenyuu Horiuchi as Tikbalang, Mitsuko Horie as Arikura-no-Baba and Chafurin as Kuro Dwende. And for supporting characters, I’m going with Romi Park as the maid, Annabelle-Marie. That just leaves Sakura to be cast, and I’ll update this post when I come up with someone.

Here's my Geats adaptation (Note: Mary and the bear Riders are all changed to female, for reasons)
Main four: Maxwell Heath (Ace Ukiyo) - Niko Guardado Clay Murphy (Keiwa Sakurai) - Morgan Gingerich Tara Payton (Neon Kurama) - Katie Molinaro Toby Cipes (Michinaga Azuma) - Shak Ghacha Other known GBR participants Cree Hamill (Takeshi Gotokuji) - Camille Hyde Tyler Shope (Takahito Taira) - Cameron Ocasio Mai Uchikawa (Kanato Sumida) - Addison Riecke Serena Shope (Morio Koganeya) - Haley Tju Victoria DeLaurentis (Win Hareruya) - Ariela Barer I intend to use Ai Wadazaki for US suit footage of any female suit acted by Masato Tsutamune in JP footage, and I currently have at least 4 such characters.

Five of the placeholders I mentioned before should now be clear to anybody who's seen my thread recently.
Quote:
Since you consistently wrote all the other names in Western order, this should actually be "Michinaga Azuma".

Thanks for noticing my silly mistake when I mixed up the given name and surname. Michinaga gets me mixed up sometimes.

Raven is a Psychic Kim has athletic skills due to being a cheerleader and her fights with Draken and a few others.
