What is This?
This is an updated casting call for Animated Archives, an original ARG project. If you've seen my previous casting call, the information is essentially the same, however, I was unable to add new roles to the previous casting call page, so here are the new roles.
Expectations:
Any accents work for your auditions, whatever you think would fit best for your audition!
Communication will be sent via CCC direct messages, email, or IG messages
Payment will be through Paypal Goods and Service and will be sent once voice lines are sent.
Depending on the success of the project, I'd love to keep continue the story, so there is a chance for longtime and recurring parts.
Once again, thank you all for partaking in this project and I'm happy to say that the ARG is now out! You can head over to https://animated-archives.tumblr.com/ and see what the /specialfella is up to!
Please feel free to share and talk about the project (though I'd ask to keep spoilers to a minimum), and once again, thank you so much for checking this project out!
Apologies for the crickets here, but I come with news! Assuming the tech gremlins behave, the ARG will launch Feb 9th 2025!
Thank you all for your patience and I'll see you all in a week!
First off, thank you all so much for the auditions and taking a look at this project! You all are awesome!
Barring any random acts of tech gremlins or other shenanigans, I'll be reviewing the auditions and reaching out to those casted. I will keep everyone posted with an update when that is completed or if things change.
In the meantime, have a wonderful rest of your day and week!
Paul Cassim is the unendingly charming owner of Cassim Production Studios. He is witty, and is able to control the mood of a room with light humor and a well practiced smile, running the studio with a tight, if not iron, grip. However, under that glowing personality hides a selfish and self centered man, seeking fame and power, doing anything to get his hands on it. A visionary with a short temper, he is not above ignoring other's needs or feigning obliviousness to fulfil his goals.
[As if scolding a child] Now, now, now, I have been more than fair in making sure that you are comfortable. This would be done a lot sooner had I not taken your comfort into consideration, but I happen to be someone to think about how my actions affect others.
I have always felt, and always will feel that the men that contribute most to the organization should, out of respect alone, enjoy some privileges. My first recommendation to the lot of you is this; put your own house in order, you can't accomplish a damn thing by sitting around and waiting to be told everything. If you're not progressing as you should, instead of grumbling and growling, do something about it.
[Towards his sister, sarcastic] Of course I'll be careful you obnoxious worrywart,
A classic 1940s news reporter. Male or Female works
[During a friendly interview] Well he’s certainly a special little fella bringing such joy to all the boys and girls with your cartoons. Can’t really speak for the cats of the world, but they’re probably very jealous of his fame.
Police have still not found the location of Paul Cassim, owner of Cassim Production Studios, after the incident that occurred yesterday afternoon.
*Say whatever you think fits*
Basil is a charming overly confident djinn, currently spending his freedom as a get away driver/mobster. He takes things in a very light-heart matter, finding most people and things beneath him, but he can be intimidating when needs to be.
His name is the US pronunciation of Basil.
[nonchalant; bit sarcastic] While I couldn’t get the exact number from the dweeb you’re engaged to, ‘cause apparently that’s ‘private company information’, I managed to get a rough estimate from one of my friends when he stopped by the office.
[jovial, ignoring the tension] Straight to the point, aren’t we? What makes you think that I don’t want to catch up with my favorite pain in the ass?
[Flirty] Well, well, what do we have here? Come on Kitten, you know you're not that low on the totem pole.
Paul's older sister, she is trying to keep out of her brother's business, but keeps being dragged into things. She is tired of theatrics and she has no qualms about being blunt about her feelings. She does have a sense of humor, and often uses her wit to work around problems.
[Dealing with Basil] Don’t flatter yourself. If I was going to miss a meeting, it wouldn’t be with you.
[Talking with Paul] I’m trying to make sure that you don’t get killed. Mr. Patterson has taken quite an interest in the situation and he’s going to use you to send a message. And surprise, I don’t want that.
[Trying to offer an alternative idea] I mean, while it is a bit short notice, perhaps I could give you a tour of the studio and you can see what I’m talking about. It’s a lot easier to show than tell after all. [beat] We still have the film negatives in the machine, don’t we Charlie?
I'm aiming for five (4 bust; one half body with 4 people) semi-realistic stylized drawings to act as in universe "photographs". Please leave your portfolio and rates in your application (CC requires to have a rate for Paid Projects)
