Yes folks I finally got back to doing a DC here (I was going to do one on the Castlevania game series but the one I tried got erased when Firefox crashed on me a while back). Anyways here is my DC for at least the Main characters of the Mega Man X series (though I dunno if I would do any other MMX cast lists but if I would I will do it as replies to this post). So here is my DC for the main characters of the Mega Man X series...
Mega Man X- Pokejedservo
Yes folks believe it or not I am starting this off with a selfcast as the main character. Not the first time this has been done (and not the first one I did) and while some may frown at this practice hear me out. While my lists much like the others have had typecasting in the past and like certain others I too try to do casting that can let VA's play against type every now & then and I thought why not do it to myself? Seriously I don't often do heroic young male voices that are of a moderate tone but I do feel that I can potentially do a little something here for sure. (Besides if I would ever be cast as a version of Mega Man I figured that X would be my best bet.)
Zero- U-1
This took me a little bit to wonder who to pick especially since there are well... plenty of potential guys who can do this role well. But I do have a good feeling that U-1 can do a rather spirited performance that go from a cocky fighter to dramatic angst.
Sketch- Axl
While not quite as hard to cast as Zero this did take me a bit and yes as you can already tell I am more going by the Mega Man X8 route by having him being voiced by a guy. But still I do feel pretty confident that Sketch can do a fairly high (but not too high) young male voice for a cocky little punk whom is a well-meaning hero.
Dr. Cain- Ravenstone
This took me a little while to figure out whom to give this to but then I figured that Ravenstone is pretty good with older male voices as I can picture him doing a nice moderate tone of voice for this old gentleman here.
Iris- Shudo Ranmaru
For this role I am thinking of a young female voice that can be fairly high (but still sound like a young woman) that can come off as sweet but not too cloying so I felt that Shudo would be a natural choice for this.
Colonel- Geist Seig
This took me a while to figure out who to pick as there are plenty of folks whom can do this role but then I figured that Geist can do a rather low voice of proud soldier whom is fighting to protect his ideals and his beloved sister Iris.
Signas- Lioncourt
This however felt very easy to cast for as I feel quite confident that LC can do a nice lower voice for this role in fact something like his Slayn voice in that Record of Lodoss War fandub he is in would be perfect for this role.
Alia- Mippa
For Alia I would need a nice moderate tone voiced that can be serious (but not too stiff). Namely something that can go from being firm and serious in the job but a friendly young woman whom tries to move on with her life so I figured that Mippa would definitely have some potential here.
Layer- Fairuza
Yeah I know not exactly all that surprised but I am thinking of a nice and low voice that is normally cool & collected but can get a bit flustered around Zero so pretty much Fairuza was my first choice for this role for sure.
Palette- Cristina Vee
I am wanting a voice that would be high, cutesy and upbeat (and not be too much of all 3) whom is not above an occasional playful teasing, so needless to say Cristina was easily my 1st choice here.
Sigma- R. Douglas Barbieri
While there are a pretty good amount of guys in the VAA whom can do deep voices (and not to brag but yours truly included) RDB here has one of the deeper voices I have heard. That and knowing his handiwork he can do a sinister voice whom can do a regal and somewhat (but not too) over the top performance here as well.
Vile- Motly Fool
I will admit to you right now that his demo helped convince me he can do a rough fairly low (but not necessarily deep) sinister tone of voice for this role rather well.
Dr. Doppler- LionelRyGuy
Yeah the idea of Ry Guy playing the role of an elderly man is not exactly new but I can picture him in the role of a conniving manipulator whom was originally trying to feign benevolence at first but its all too clear that he is very much a villain here.
Gate- Para_bolic
This took me a little bit to wonder whom could be the one to pick for Gate here. But after remembering some of his demos I can picture Para being able to do a nice moderate tone of voice that can go from a calm intellectual to sinister and insane for this role here.
Red- Shockdingo
This took me a little while to figure out but then I figured who would be better to do a fairly low raspy voice for this role than my old buddy Shockdingo? I can certainly picture him doing a somber performance for this robot whom lets just say learns a lesson about how you should be careful about whom you make an alliance with.
Lumine- Jefferz
While its not the first time I would picture Jefferz doing a fairly high male voice I figured this would be a potential interesting change of pace. Yes I know that Lumine has always been voiced by a woman before but I figured this could still potentially work. While this is another antagonist in this series whom feigns civility I can certainly picture Jefferz voicing Lumine as a soft-spoken gentlemen whom can reveal a coldly sinister side later on.
Like I said before I dunno if I would do anymore Mega Man X DCs here but still this is one for the main characters in the series at least. Well folks as the old cliche goes until next time!
