Ys IV: The Dawn of Ys English Dub Auditions

Post by LentFilms »

Alright, allow me to introduce everyone to a project that I’ve been kicking around for over two years now. The Ys IV: The Dawn of Ys English dub project on the TurboGrafx-CD!

As most of you already know NightWolve in 2004 released an English patch for all the in-game text for YsIV. However all of the game’s cut scenes remained voiced in Japanese. There have been several attempts to create a fan-dub for Ys IV’s cut scenes but none of them were ever finished. Ys IV has been waiting 8 years for a proper dub and I know I have the skills and determination to finally give it one. NightWolve is also supporting this project and plans on integrating the dub into a new release of the English patch when the project is completed.

For more information on the Ys IV Dub Project please check out the audition page on Voice Acting Alliance here...

If you think this audition sounds interesting then please help me spread the word. Inform any actors you know about the audition, post about it online, or even audition yourself! I would greatly appreciate it.

How about adding english subtitles to the cutscenes? Or is re-encoding the video too difficult?

There actually not videos, it's scripted code that puppets giant sprites. As was common on the TurboGrafx-CD.

Hacking in subtitles would be incredibly difficult, if not impossible.
Dubbing the ADPCM audio is the only practical way to translate the cut scenes.

Oh right pc engine isn't powerful enough for video. That sucks I really like subtitles.

Sounds like a fun project is there a website or forum following the progress or is that just this thread?

I am so totally auditioning! I've always dreamed of being a voice actor for English dubs of anime since I'm tired of hearing the same old people who sound like they've never even seen the source material before.

Everyone always tells me I should do radio, trailers, and announcing. This will be a great place to start!
