Welcome! Vanguard Productions is proud to present the "Transformers: Vanguard" project. Transformers: Vanguard is a high-quality fan-series set in an all-new universe that celebrates the entire Transformers multiverse. During Summer/Fall 2014 the prequel series Tales Of The Great War will begin. Details For the "Vanguard: Tales Of The Great War" Prequel Series (6-12 Minute Long Episodes): "Follow the adventures of Roadbuster and other heroes on Cybertron during the Great War!" For the "Vanguard" Main Series (21-24 Minute Long Episodes): "Watch as the Vanguard Defense Force lead by Ultra Magnus defends Earth and their human allies, teenagers Connor, Jayna, and Alex, from the evil Decepticons lead by Megazarak! Using CGI, and putting every effort possible in telling a good, professional story that could easily be shown on TV; Vanguard hopes to be the ultimate Transformers fan-series, and YOU can help make that a reality! The goal for this project at this very moment is to produce at least one prequel episode. I hope to be able to expand that goal to the whole prequel series [6 Episodes totaling 48 Minutes] and the first episode of the main series. If I am able to complete that then this project was a success. If you want to find out more information; check out all of the character designs seen above in more detail, check out the thread here: http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-fan-art/985723-vanguard-series-phase-1-main-thread.html I am committed to making this the best project it can be. Believe me. 2.25 Years of free time and full time has gone into this project. This is it. Updated: Here is the total cast (including pre-existing members): Ultra Magnus: Ryoma Ishizuka (Ryusuke) Roadbuster: Kellen Goff (Speedjolt) Sideswipe: Nicholas Andrew Louie Sunstreaker: Scott Oka Fastlane: Alejandro Saab Impactor: Greg F (Name Pending Response) Megazarak: Steven Carr (carrvoice) Slugslinger: Overlord Balder [Username; not real name] Shockwave: Joe Powell (Crosshairs) Galvatron: Ben "Bear" Smith Thunderwing: Levente Tarr Toxitron: Patrick Dunn Airazor & Jayna Knight: Laura Schafer As Of Yet Undecided Autobot:Justin Segura Solara: Anita Pizzirani (Pizza) Connor Williams: Chris Horton (Necromorphiliac) Windcharger: Christopher Colgin (IKY) Slicer: Joey Martin I want to supremely thank everyone who auditioned. It was amazing to hear all of your voices!
Awesome! I would love to audition for some of these... just don't have time now. Not to be arrogant, but the description of "Connor" sounds quite a bit like me... And who doesn't like pretending to be generic cannon fodder?
^^Heh. Thanks for reminding me that my gaming headset mic is only OK. It's not that bad, but I've been told that I sound like I'm far away.
Sorry, man. Well, if you get one at any point, you can give it a shot. Or potentially try out for the Phase 2 auditions [which will likely be in Winter 2014-2015] Just do your best and I'll consider you with everyone else,
I'm gonna give it a go with Solara and Jayna Knight. Quick question about Jayna's line: is it "match the descriptions of Atlantis", or "match descriptions of Atlantis"? Just so I know. In any case, I'll redo my lines if I got them wrong. ;D
It'd be great to get auditions for those two. As the line is written above it is "match descriptions of Atlantis". If you'd like to go ahead and do it twice with each version or if you feel more comfortable the other way, go ahead, but that is what I put down,
Okay, thanks, that was helpful! Anyhow, I've just emailed you my lines. Really had a lot of fun with these! :3
Deadline for the 5-Week Auditions is four days away, so if anyone wants to audition for those characters, now's the time.
EDIT: (We had a last second audition that changed the casting of Sideswipe; Justin Segura will be cast as an upcoming Autobot; but not Sideswipe; instead Sideswipe will be voiced by Nicholas Andrew Louie.) Alright, I've decided to do the casting today. Impactor, Sideswipe, and Thunderwing were cast today rather easily, however Galvatron & Toxitron took a fair amount of deliberation. Casting Choices are: Impactor: Greg F (Name Pending Response) Sideswipe: Nicholas Andrew Louie Galvatron: Ben "Bear" Smith Toxitron: Patrick Dunn Thunderwing: Levente Tarr Undecided Autobot: Justin Segura I also want to announce that due to an audition we have received; I am reducing Shockwave's remaining audition time to one week. His new deadline is Saturday, July 19th. I will also be shifting Connor to the 5-Week (Formerly 10-Week) Audition List. Also: Airazor never received a single audition, which I found surprising to say the least. So audition for her girls; do whatever you think works, doesn't need to be quite what I said. Thanks to everyone who auditioned for Impactor, Sideswipe, Galvatron, Toxitron, and Thunderwing, it was definitely hard to narrow down the list at some points.
Another casting day. Alright, so Shockwave has been cast, but I've also casted Airazor, and have gotten enough auditions that I've decided to move Jayna to the 5-Week Auditions. Casting Choices are: Shockwave: Joe Powell (Crosshairs) Airazor: Laura Schafer Shockwave by far got the most auditions; and I want to thank everyone who auditioned for him for doing so. It was hard to narrow down, but in the end, Joe had the best voice for Vanguard Shockwave. Not many auditioned for Airazor, but Laura really got the exact tone and style of voice that I wanted, so I just had to cast her immediately. Later today, I'll be putting up the Vanguard Facebook page; so I'll link it here for any of you interested in following the project there. Thanks for the support and auditions; and I look forward to hearing and getting more in these last four weeks before Windcharger, Slicer, Solara, Connor, and Jayna are cast.
Edit because I didn't read!: I'm gonna try to do a audition for Windcharger and Slicer... I was going to audition for the others but I haven't had the time recently. Quite a upgrade from your previous project and I'm reallllyyyyyy digging it!
I'll try Windcharger and Slicer, if I still can. MAN! I didn't even know these were going on I sent you a message a while back saying I wanted to participate lol... Anyhow, yeah, I'll also try the human.
The final Casting Choices! You guys all made this very hard. The casting decisions; particularly on the female characters was hard, especially because I avoid dual-casting actors when possible. But Laura just nailed the voices in my head very well. So the female characters cast are: Jayna Knight: Laura Schafer Solara: Anita Pizzirani (Pizza) Now onto the three final male voice choices. So difficult this was made; particularly on Slicer, whom many were able to get into character very well for. But I had to choose one. Male Choices: Connor Williams: Chris Horton (Necromorphiliac) Windcharger: Christopher Colgin (IKY) Slicer: Joey Martin I want to supremely thank everyone who auditioned. It was amazing to hear all of your voices!
