This is the official entry for the scripts and voice acting for BIONICLE: Year One.

 

Auditions are open now and will continue until further notice. We need voice actors for:

TOA

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
Tahu

Leader-type of voice, but he's also kind of arrogant at this point.

Interested: MoSM, Sonic the Hedgehog, benlinus, -Thylon-

Kopaka

Cold and to the point. Like his MoL voice.

Interested: -Toa Lhikevikk-, Thomas Magnum, -Thylon-, Sir Kohran

Gali

We need a female to do this, really. Beggars can't be choosers.

Interested: ShadowVelocity

Pohatu

Fun and lighthearted, but also solid, like a rock.

Interested: MoSM, Toa Kaitan Thunder Inferno, toa of mystery, ultra hamster, -Thylon-, Toa Cykron

Onua

Deep and thoughtful.

Interested: Thomas Magnum, ultra hamster

Lewa

Fun fun fun fun fun, and excitable.

Interested: Toa Zale, Toa Kaitan Thunder Inferno, Eljay: Toa of Mangosteen, toa of mystery, Sonic the Hedgehog, ~T L N~: Pentagram of Airv

 

TURAGA

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
Vakama

Old and wise, but also thoughtful and saddened because of his past life events.

Interested: Sonic the Hedgehog, Toa Chaos Nuva

Nuju

Clicks, whistles, and whirrs. Do your best if you want to audition, but we might have to put it through multiple effects to get it to work.

Interested: Gorgnak, Toa Kaitan Thunder Inferno

Nokama

Female, of course. We need it to sound old and slow too, like her MoL voice.

Interested: ShadowVelocity, Neelh of Suburbia

Onewa

A bit faster than the other ones, and opinionated.

Interested: -Thylon-

Whenua

Hunched, basically.

Interested: dann494

Matau

Essentially an older Lewa.

Interested: Toa Kaitan Thunder Inferno, Eljay: Toa of Mangosteen, ~T L N~: Pentagram of Air

 

MATORAN

TakuaJaller

I think an older-sounding version of their MoL voices would be nice.

Interested (Takua): Sonic the Hedgehog, ##### Bantha (yum), benlinus, MakutaKlak

Interested (Jaller): MoSM, GlatorianJaller

Kapura

Epic, mysterious, awesome.

Interested: KennyWhee!, Toa Kaitan Thunder Inferno, -Toa Lhikevikk-

HewkiiHafuTaipu

Younger Pohatus.

Interested (Hewkii): LukaRhotuka

Interested (Hafu): LukaRhotuka, 2Tie

Interested (Taipu): Toa Kaitan Thunder Inferno

MackuHahliNixie

Females.

Interested (Nixie): Neelh of Suburbia

KonguTamaru

Stereotypical Le-Matoran.

Interested (Kongu): MoSM, Eljay: Toa of Mangosteen

Nuparu

Interested: dann494

Onepu

Like Onua, but a bit younger.

Interested: Nuparu6578

Kopeke

Cold and short. Doesn't have much to say, and when he does, he sounds like he's annoyed.

Interested: Gorgnak, Dr. John A. Zoidberg, -Thylon-

Matoro

Like Kopeke, but more introverted and burdened because of the information he carries about the Turaga's past.

Interested: MoSM, -L-

 

BAD GUYS

Makuta

Self-explanatory. Make it extremely evil.

OTHER

I think we'll be able to combine the voices of the constituent Toa for the Kaita, so whoever gets the part of the Toa, in the end, will also have this part.

If you want to audition, or know someone who's not a BZP member who might like to audition, please record an audition consisting of your BZP name (if you're a member and not just a friend, but say who you're a friend of if you are one), your desired character, and then a line that that character says. You can repeat this formula for however many characters you want to audition for.

 

Please record clearly with little to no background noise, and send me the file via PM. Optimally, it should be in a .wav or a .mp3 format.

 

I know that there are a lot or characters here, but I think there will be enough interest. Plus, we don't have to use all of the Matoran I listed - that's a best-case-scenario list.

 

About the scripts: We'll probably include lines from the MNOLG, but we'll also have to script the other lines. If you're a writer or know someone on BZP who is, please tell them about this! We'll compare different scripts in this entry, and compare notes on what would be good to include. That way, we'll get the best of all worlds for the script.

 

UPDATE: JUNE 28, 2010: Complete update to all voice actors interested. Thanks a million to Sir Kohran for his help on this! I also added a section to account for "other" characters - right now only the Kaita are listed.

I might voice Makuta (I do an awesome evil voice) or I might also voice Kopeke. I'm good at "annoyed". It's my thing. I hang around and get annoyed.

I suppose I could provide some female voices for this. Gali, or Hahli or Macku would be the ones I'd be most interested in, though I suppose I might be able to pull off an older-sounding voice for Nokama. I don't think you'll want the same person voicing every girl, but I can do... three or four distinct voices right now. And I can vary pitch and stuff too. Do you need auditions now, or is that later?

You can send in auditions whenever you want to, as long as I get them.

I like. The only thing is that there appears to be some distortion - I hear a good amount of rhythmical popping in the background.

This has been a common question, and I think I'll clarify:

 

When you are auditioning for a character, you do not need to say any specific lines.

 

Just say the ones that you can say best.

toa of mystery

hey, this sounds neat. I've always wanted to be lewa!

 

put me down for lewa and pohatu. I'll send you an audition as soon as I can.

I've got a semi-decent microphone that I've used for voice acting before on one of my own lego stop-motion videos.

how do you make a video and how would we act if we got picked :)

You don't need a video, you just need audio.

 

Do your best if you get picked.

That would be the background noise of the Logitech Quickcam E3000.
