Animal Kingdom Season 1 Follow Up Casting Call!

Project Overview

Hello! This is a follow up casting call to fill out the slots of the few remaining roles from the previous casting call and hopefully the last one. This is for season 1 of the series, the pilot of which is currently in production (Part one is out, which you can watch above, while part two is under way)

What is Animal Kingdom about?

This series takes place in alternate reality where a society is run by anthropomorphic animals years upon years after Human Kind has disappeared off the maps. The Animal Kingdom itself is a union representing harmony between all creatures, though there are those who desire to threaten it; fortunately, there are defenders seeking to protect it; Lune (Emperor Penguin) Alex (Toque Macaque Monkey) Dexter (Red Panda) Neige (Arctic Fox) and Barbara (Cat), these five fight along with the assistance of Lune's guardian, Eria (Snowy Owl) of to keep Animal Kingdom safe all while dealing with troubles in their own lives.

THIS IS NOT A SERIES FOR KIDS. MATURE CONTENT WARNING.

  • Violence/Serious Injury/Blood; While there's no real gore, there are many incidents of characters getting injured through scratching, biting, punching, stabbing, etc

  • Vulgar Language/Light Suggestive Humor; There is a fair amount of swearing used, there will be no slurs and the worst a character will say is drop a F bomb. It's worth noting not every character will swear either.

  • Off Screen/On Screen Death; Characters can and will die.

  • Depictions of physical and emotional abuse/manipulation.

  • Mental Health Struggles; Mental health is something the series explores thoroughly. Topics such as trauma, anxiety, depression, su*cidal ideation are covered.

  • I will not accept submissions from any actors under 18.

This series is LGBTQIA+ positive; the main character is bi for example and falls in love with another boy over the course of the series.

The Format

The series will be in the same audio drama format as the pilot; the stories will be told through my art acting like an animatic (though this will be reduced down to lower the load on myself) and the performances of the actors.

What To Expect For The Season

Season 1 has 13 fully written scripts, 11 of which are about 25-35 pages, and 2 of which are around 60 pages (Mid season and season finales respectively) which will be split into halves, episodes 1-6 are what I call season 1A, and episodes 7-13 are season 1B.

Auditioning

  • The four main roles will be open until March 6th, while extras will be open until the end of the deadline or until I feel I have gotten enough extras.

  • AAABBBCCC takes are required for auditions, I ask there'd be about 2-4 takes for each line. This will be carried over to the series proper if you are casted. 

  • Good mic, little to no background noise, I will not accept phone mics

  • Please provide your discord with your audition so I may add you once you're casted and give you an invite to the discord server, there I will give updates and access to the scripts, you do not have to engage in discussions if you join, I only ask you inform me on the status of your lines and sending them in.

  • The series is long term. A lot of these characters are recurring, even if the initial role in season 1 isn't very big. I do understand if anyone ever needs to step out but I would prefer to keep voices consistent if possible.

During Production

  • Many of the same rules for auditioning apply during the actual production.

  • Don't add any effect or editing to lines if possible, that will be handled in post.

  • Please have files in MP3/WAV, sent to a channel on discord.

  • I may ask for redos if needed.

  • Please keep things about the series within the chats in the server.

  • Progress will take a while. Even right now, part two of the pilot is being worked on but I don't expect it to be finished until well into next year hence why I am hoping to have recording for season 1 being worked on in the meantime. I am the sole artist/writer/editor for the series at the moment, while I am managing to have things go more effectively and hope to gain more of an art team in the future, I do ask for a a bit of patience (WIPs will for sure be shared in the server)

That should be all. I am very excited to see the results of this and to continue further expanding this world!

Latest Updates

  • Auditions closed!

    As of now, auditions have ended! I will be going over all the submissions in the next day or so. I should have everyone selected by tonight or tomorrow evening. Thank you to everyone who auditioned!

  • 1 day left

    Technically a little over one day left. I will be closing auditions around midnight CST on Tuesday, and thus, will conclude the casting period for this whole project for a good long while.

    I can't promise that everyone is getting in as there are currently about 85 extra roles open for the rest of season 1, barring potential recasts or overlooked stuff, but I thank everyone for trying and I look forward to hearing the many demos and talent.

  • Casting completed. Extras role will remain open.

    Just a heads up that the casting for McKenna, Tula, and Chocolate have been made. I will be leaving the extras role open until I feel I have enough to cast or until the deadline/listing ends in May (I suspect the first outcome is likely.)

    For anyone who auditioned but didn't get picked on the main three, I would highly recommend trying out to be an extra if desired as I have heard some really solid VAs that I would still love to work with!

  • 6 days left

    Deadline for the auditions of McKenna, Tula, and Chocolate will be closing on Friday and I should have my actors picked out that same day (Or Saturday, but likely Friday)

    For the time being though, I will be extending the deadline for the extras until the listing date expires or I feel as I have enough to bring in., not entirely sure what will come first.

    Thank you to everyone for trying out so far, I look forward to listening to your auditions soon!

McKenna The Hyena (MAJOR)
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to: Mikki Baylon

McKenna is a 39 year old spotted hyena, a famous detective and major hero to the Animal Kingdom for how they have foiled the schemes of many of the traffickers in and out of the territories and saving countless lives. McKenna is very serious about what they do, almost too serious, as they struggle with the pressures of their role and wanting to commit further with the love of their life, Tula. 


McKenna is a very major character in the second half of season 1 and is a very large focus for a few episodes.


McKenna has a very low, serious, androgynous (Closer to feminine) almost aggressive sounding voice, and has an Australian accent. I would prefer an nonbinary VA for the role if possible.

  • (Chuckles; romantic) "You’ve always lightened my spirits, darlin’."

Tula The African Dog (MAJOR)

Role assigned to: Abbie Cochrane

Tula is a 39 year old African dog, and partner of McKenna. She is a spunky, upbeat dog with a brighter look on life and a capability to kick ass if needed. Though she loves McKenna, she struggles with their constant life and death job pulling them away.


Tula has a very warm, friendly tone to her voice. She speaks with an Australian accent.

Voice description:
  • female adult

  • (Playful) "Of course, all of Animal Kingdom may treat you like you’re some immortal god, but you're not invincible, muffin." (Snorts)

  • (Disappointed) "You got a kingdom to protect, I get it… But that doesn’t mean I’ll play second fiddle."

  • (Confident) "Well, dating the most skilled and famous detective is bound to teach you some things." (Chuckles)

Chocolate The Red Panda
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to: Meiscellaneous

Chocolate, or Choco for short, is a 16 year old red panda, Dexter and Barbara's sister, and a member of the band called the 'The Neapolitan Triplets' (despite not actually being triplets) Choco is the angsty rebel of the group, wanting to stick out in anyway she can both as a band and as herself. She doesn't play huge role in the season, but does show briefly in a few episodes.


Choco speaks with a low gruff and raspy voice. Choco also appears in a flashback as a child with a few lines, I figure I'd be easier to have the same VA for both the child and present teen iterations of the character.

Voice description:
  • Rocker
  • female teen
  • female child
  • Tomboy
  • Rebel

  • (As a child; Dry) "You’re so boring and weird. Let’s go play elsewhere Mr. Walnut!" (Laughs)

  • (Bitter; teenager) "Fine, then let me play it. You're always hogging the spotlight anyway."

  • (Opening up; teenager) "I know it’s stupid. The thing with music is that’s a way to express yourself that simply talking can’t. I know it’s why you and I gravitated towards it in the first place." (Sighs) "I can’t keep it from you."

A recast from the pilot (if you want to use this as a vocal reference (https://tinyurl.com/2bb78hn5 45:08)


Baron is president of the United Grasslands. He is a older relaxed if rather oblivious bear, who cares very deeply for his family. He has a decently sizable role in the second half of the season and the series proper through him being the father of the more prominent secondary character, Ashley.


He has a deep husky voice, with a slight southern drawl.

Voice description:
  • deep
  • male adult
  • american (southern)

  • (Concerned) "Urm, Yes. Things have been generally peaceful around here, I would rather it be stopped sooner before anything could arise from it, I don’t want my family’s safety to be at risk."

  • (Angry) "I knew she shouldn’t have been left unattended at that tennis match. If anything happens to her, there will be hell to pay! Mark my…"

  • (Calm) "I’m just glad you’re okay, sweetheart. Always let us know if you go somewhere, okay? I wouldn’t want the same thing that happened with Prince Lune to happen to you too."
