“Back to Reality” is a Code Lyoko fanfiction audio drama that follows after season 4. It is made by the fans of Code Lyoko for the fans of Code Lyoko. This podcast series is followed up after season 4 (and this is not a Code Lyoko: Evolution remake).
"Back to Reality" takes place in another school year at Kadic Academy. The former Lyoko Warriors have terminated Xana, a diabolical artificial intelligence, and shut down the supercomputer that controls the virtual world, Lyoko. Now, the Lyoko Warriors must return to their normal routines while facing critical challenges that impact the gang as they go back to reality. Along the way, they will meet new friends that will support them through all of the ups and downs. Will they learn to stick together through all of the tragedies and challenges they face?
Casting Call Rules:
1.You must used a Blue Snowball Microphone or any high-tech mic that
requires excellent audio-quality.
2.Reduce noise and static before you record and submit your audio clip.
3.Don't edit and add sfx to your audition clip (that will be the
audio editor's job when we have a full cast); Anyone who posts their
edited audition clip will be automatically rejected.
4.Always turn in your audition clip by the end of the casting call deadline.
5.If you're an experience VA, make sure you list a couple of previous
roles from other projects that you have done on your profile page.
6.Have fun!
What will you do in this project?:
It's quite simple, I, Addison Nowack, director, producer, head writer,
and talent scout of the Nowack Company, will produce the show on
Spreaker.com hopefully before summer starts.
You, the actors and singers, must make five takes of you saying your
lines from your script (if casted in the show) and turn them back to
me by the end of the actor's deadline.
How long is this show?:
There are 20 episodes in this season, each episode is 15 minutes long.
We're looking for professional and aspiring actors, who can star in an audio drama series. We're
going for 4 seasons; approximately about 2 to 4 years long.
When do we turn in our audio clips?:
Actors and singers have two weeks to record their lines in audio clips
and must turn them in by the end of the first week for reviews and if
you got a message from me or the audio editor saying you have to
revise it then remake it by the end of the second week.
Do we get paid?:
We honestly don't know if Back to Reality will be popular and
successful enough yet, so we're going start this producing this show
as a non-profit project and see how it will turn by the time we get to
season three. But I started the Nowack Company last Fall and I don't
have a lot of experience in producing a Radio or Podcast shows, so
we're planning on being a non-profit production and building up
experiences.
The project cover and character artwork is design by: @Sean M.D.
This is the last day for casting call before the deadline. We are now looking for guys who can play the following five male roles: (Teens) Odd Della Robbia, William Dunbar, and Joe McCormick. And for the adult roles they are Principle Delmas and Jim Morales. Please follow the guidelines before you submit your audition demos.

You only ever wasted your time pining after Ulrich! He would never
love you like Aelita loved Jeremie. Nobody
will! So, I would think twice before insulting something like what
they had, because it’s a lot more special than anything you will
ever
have!

When Ulrich told me that he wasn't coming back to Kadic Academy, I

what happen between us but when I got back home, I missed him so
much.
