Shyft: Voice Acting for Trailer
Project Overview
If you don't know, I'm doing a comic called Shyft. I need some characters voiced for an upcoming trailer, so I'm looking for interested VAs who would be willing to voice some characters.
For this time around, the auditions will be paid up to $48 if selected to be in the trailer.
Any future roles as the characters will be discussed.
PROJECT OVERVIEW
Shyft is an indie comic series by Dragon Multimedia LLC about a group of shapeshifters called Shyfters coming together to stop a threat that will doom them all.
DEADLINES AND AUDITIONS
The deadline for auditions is December 1st, 2021, or we will end early if we are completely full.
WHAT TO EXPECT
We communicate primarily through Discord and Slack (mainly the latter). If you are unfamiliar with either of these applications, you can still audition, however, we strongly, strongly recommend participation through the Slack invite if selected so that you can collaborate with your fellow voice actors. We've used Discord and Slack with other projects and it has been of immense value.
WHAT WE ASK OF YOU
- First and foremost, have fun -- we take pride in bringing together talents in different mediums to create something truly phenomenal, but none of it means anything if the people involved aren't passionate about their craft.
- Please submit clean recordings on prosumer mics (no air conditioners in the background, no fans -- we don't mind performing noise reduction on your files, however too much clean-up reduces the quality of your voice). And speaking of clean-up -- please let us handle the post-production. Don't add effects to your lines -- leave that to our audio geniuses :)
- Feel free to cut your lines to your best/favorite takes. Three is the gold standard. We have a few voice actors that would rather give us more takes, and that's okay, too. However please at least remove the takes you don't want to be featured on the podcast.
- We do occasionally ask for line re-dos, but we do this sparingly and only after great consideration - we realize your time is valuable, and we won't ask for anything we can't work around in edits.
- Lastly, since we are planning more for Shyft, we 'd like to cast people who will be able to stick with us for a while. We're incredibly proud of the acting troupe we've formed over the years, and when starting a new project, we frequently return to voice actors we've worked with in the past.

Hi everyone! You might be wondering where the trailer is since its been almost a year since the deadline. Truth be told, the comic has changed wildly since I launched this casting call and I'm only now getting to finalizing at least some of the pages. Funding it out of pocket has been a wild ride for sure, but there's still a long way to go. I still have to color and letter the pages and also finish the layouts. Theres a lot of stuff behind the scenes I can't get into yet, but I can't wait to show you more once the trailer is done and I have the finalized VA lines. Thanks for waiting everyone! ccateni

Update 12-18-21
Hi everyone! I've been dealing with some family stuff, so the review process has been delayed a bit. Despite this, I've been going through the auditions. Everyone did a great job, so it does make things harder to really choose between only one of you guys. I've decided that while I'm finalizing on who will be joining the project, the audition deadline will be finalized to December 26th. This means your last chance to submit anything will be on December 26th and no more submissions will be allowed or looked at after that date. I thank everyone for auditioning and the results will be revealed soon! Thanks again, everyone! ccateni -
Deadline Update
Hi everyone! While I previously mentioned a deadline of December for the auditions, I'm still looking through all of them and making final decisions. During this period, users can still upload their auditions. I will give the last-day warning update before closing both the demo reel audition and the standard required audition. Thanks again for auditioning everyone! The support has been amazing and I couldn't be proud to have so many people come together to showcase their talents not only to me but to other CCC members as well. Until next time! ccateni -
Quick Update 11-2-21
Hi Everyone! I'm shocked by the huge amount of auditions from those old and new to CCC, and I'm grateful for everyone who auditioned and thank you all for the support. I will keep the casting call open until November 28th as previously planned. So feel free to take your time if you need it for your audition. I'm currently making some preproduction plans of voice actors/actresses I have in mind, but final decisions will be revealed in late November / December of what's been decided. Remember... If you are going to submit your demo reel, please do not submit it without doing the audition first out of fairness. The demo reel submission is optional but doesn't count as a replacement for auditioning for the part and I'm going to be very strict about this... Thanks again for supporting Shyft and auditioning everyone! All the auditions have been great so far, and I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with as the deadline gets closer! -ccateni
Seem like a generic narrator first, but then get more emotional as the script continues ending with a more anime-like "and I... AM A SHYFTER!"
Shapeshifters...
[2-second pause] I have no doubt you heard of them...
[minor chuckle or break]
Everyone has at one point... Werewolves, vampires, the million variations we have yet to discover...
The idea of living alongside those creatures is fascinating...
But what if... [2-second pause] You are one...
My name is Anker, and I am a shyfter.
Only do this after you submit an audition for the first listing.
Those who ignore this rule will have their audition ignored or told to do an audition with the sample lines. This is for submitting your current demo reel and is 100% optional as long as you do the other audition.
Submit your demo reel below.
Only for use with assigning to chosen audition.
