SDR2: Goodbye Despair Ask Panel (SDR2 Ask Panel)

[takaomi47]

Hey there! This is Mei, the host from last year's "SHSL Ask Panel"! Thank you for attending, if you did; we got around 50 people, which was a lot more than I anticipated as well as some feedback as well so thank you so much for that!  I thought I'd try to host another panel this year as well, but I decided to limit it to the second game cast only since having the casts from both games was quite a lot. I also have my co-host Dest to help me!

Date: N/A (we're aiming for an Early Afternoon Saturday slot!)
Location: N/A
Time: N/A (we're trying for a 2 hour panel, but we're fine with either timeslot!)

This will be a spoiler free panel, so please refrain from accidentally spoiling anything! (Free Time Events should be taken with caution as some do include spoilers in them.)
However, we do require that you have finished playing and/or reading the entire game.
This will be a 16+ Panel, which means swearing will be at a MINIMUM, if at all.

Audition Applications:
-Applications can be done either by filling out the form below or by answering the application questions in the form of a video.
-You can submit it either by PM'ing it to me here or to my Tumblr.
-You may audition for as many characters as you want, but please specify which is your first choice (e.g. you apply for the spots of both Souda and Kuzuryuu but you'd rather be Kuzuryuu first if you had a choice) in your audition application.

--These questions must be answered IC--

1. Introduce yourself to us! Say your name and talent!
2. Now, I know you may like the talent you have (you're the best of the best, you must be) but if you absolutely had to choose a new title for yourself, what would it be?
3. What sort of strengths do you possess?
4. In that light, what weaknesses do you have?
5. How do you plan to spend your days on Jabberwock Island now that the Mutual Killing has been established?
6. I know you've only just met them, but which of your classmates do you like the most? How about the ones you like the least?
7. What's your opinion on Monokuma and Monomi?
8. What sort of things does a SHSL such as yourself do in their free times?
9. Surely someone as talented as you had multiple schooling options to choose from.Why did you choose to come to Hope's Peak Academy?

[tsukitea]

hello, i am dest the second host of this panel! if you wish to promo this on tumblr, please reblog this post! thank you

[stitchez]

Is there a deadline for submissions? I'm def interested in trying out for Souda and just want to know if I should work on him first after ALA or if he can wait a bit (i literally just need to sew it together since everything is cut out).

[takaomi47]

Hello! Thank you so much for taking interest in our panel!

As for submission deadlines, we don't have a deadline set so you may as long as you need! However, I will say that the sooner is better since we plan to have practice sessions in orer to both help first time panelists as well as help get people into character should they need it.

If I absolutely HAD to set a deadline I would say it would be a month and a half before the con.

Hope that answered your question, and let me know if you have any more!

[takaomi47]

Bumping this up because the panel has been submitted, reviewed and is awaiting acceptance!

Also for those who have submitted auditions, thank you and the first deadline is by the 22nd of February, so you will be notified if you've been accepted or not around that time! You don't have to submit an audition by then, however it will greatly improve your chance of getting in as your first choice/the character you want!

Thanks, and see you at fanime!

Yes you may! What you can do is show me what you have gotten/link me to the site you've gotten it from (ex: ebay/taobao listing, or the confirmation email)

Once you've gotten the full cosplay, I would like to see a cosplay picture please!

[tsukitea]

hey! the deadline for the panel is closing in, you all have a week and a half to audition before we move onto our second deadline!

this doesn't mean we're stopping auditions for the panel, but you have a better chance of getting in if you audition the first time rather than the second. all the characters are currently still open, but that may change once we hit our first deadline, february 22nd! once february 22nd comes around, we will be reviewing over our current auditions and if you got in, you will be messaged asap and be added to the skype and facebook groups.

good luck to all of you and thank you for reading, we have lots of plans for this panel.

[PansySky]

Thank you very much! I'll be looking over it with my co-host soon! I'll inform you if you've gotten in by the deadline!

And as a reminder to anyone else wishing to audition, the first deadline is THIS SUNDAY! If you would like the best chances of getting into this panel with the character you want, then before then is your best bet!

[tsukitea]

the first deadline is today!

anyone who wishes to audition for the panel has less than 9 hours to submit their audition! there will be a bit of a pause in notifying the people who got in as the main host (the only one who can edit the forums) is away and won't be back til tonight. after, the results will be released asap!

the second deadline will be march 14th! the deadlines will be shorter as the con comes closer, so make sure to submit your audition in time!

[takaomi47]

The current panel roster has been updated! Congrats to those who made it, I'm sorry to those who did not, but thank you to everyone who auditioned nonetheless!

The next deadline is March 14th and we look forward to seeing your auditions!

Here's my audition!
The rest of the information is in the description of the video so please remember to check that! ^^

[MomoCosplay]

aw man I was going to try out for

Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.

but then I read no spoilers, so I'm like," oh ok, might as well see if there is a saionj-DANGIT" yup. I will definitely come watch it tho dont worry xD

[takaomi47]

Alrighty! The second deadline has been passed and the current roster has been updated! Thank you to everyone who applied!

This time, however, we're not aiming for a deadline. Rather, this is now a "first come, first served" sort of deal. Whoever auditions for their character first has the first priority unless they either cancel, or something else arises!

[takaomi47]

bumping this panel up with an update or two!

1) We have officially been placed on the waitlist! If we get in, we will let you know here immediately!
2) We still have some spots open, so if you know anyone who cosplays those characters, please think about auditioning! Know someone who does? Tell them about it!

thank you!

[PansySky]

Are you guys doing this panel again? If so, id be happy to be your Nanami again!
