Whoops!
I haven't used Casting Call Club before and I didn't realize closing the roles would mean they would be listed as "cast to offsite actor." Nothing has been cast yet! -
Auditions closing
Hello! I'll still technically be accepting auditions until 10 pm EST on the 31st but CCC seems to have taken this call out of search results, so... I'll be making casting decisions over the next week or two. Between the auditions submitted here and the ones submitted via a Google form, there were over 200, so it'll take a little while to go over them all. Thanks to everyone who auditioned, and to everyone who said nice things about the writing!
Voice Actor
Captain
closed
Unpaid
She/her, nonbinary woman, 20s-30s. Captain of the ship/crew. A smuggler, thief, etc. Melodramatic, incredibly full of herself, a little aloof.
Deep breaths? Deep breaths?? Did you not see what just happened? He's dead! In front of my eyes, he's become roast beef!
[in response to “The universe has a way of making you feel insignificant.”] What? Oh, no no no. It may be a vast universe, but I’m still at the center of it.
I've already tried weaseling my way out of it. I'm weaseled out. My weasel meter is almost depleted.

She/her, woman, 20s-30s. The captain's right hand lady, the pilot and mechanic. Uptight and grouchy. Thinks she's the normal one; is mistaken.
It's ridiculous when you act like this is one of those old Earth stories about pirates floating around on chunks of wood.
(grumbling to herself) What, I don't have better things to do? I do. There are repairs that need to be made. I, uh...I have one of those cross-stitch things. I haven't actually figured out how to cross-stitch yet, but the picture on the package is very charming.
Come on. I know you’d hate to admit to anything remotely resembling a weakness, but... (gentler) I know something's up. You can tell me.
Voice Actor
Tyche

Unpaid
They/them, nonbinary (their identity is “nuisance.”) The ship AI, who's recently become fully sentient and is figuring things out. Contrary and capricious and excitable.
I'm a sentient being and I'll behave how I want, fucko.
Oh, I want to sniff candles! I’ve been meaning to test my olfactory sensors.
I was a little worried about going from the entire ship to a much smaller vessel. It's like if you took an ocean and tried to squish it into a paper cup.
Voice Actor
Steve

Unpaid
He/him, man, 20s. Kind of a doofus. Means well, but has a tendency to put his foot in his mouth and is always screwing up.
(blithely) There's a very real chance we're about to die horribly, isn't there?
What
kind of paper cup? Like
a cup-sized paper cup, or one of the itty-bitty paper cups?(anxiously) I'm trying! Don't pressure me.
Voice Actor
Bert

Unpaid
He/him. Once was an emperor of some ancient alien society, now a ghost. Has a giant ego, thinks everyone is beneath him.
There was a time when I ruled entire worlds. Everyone from one end of the galaxy to the other bowed before me. Now...I'm nothing. A wisp, clinging to existence.
Hello. Former ruler of the galaxy, destroyer of worlds, etc., currently trapped inside a worthless human meatbag.
Voice Actor
Max

Unpaid
They/them, nonbinary. The captain's cousin. Will no longer sanction her buffoonery.
You know they're looking for you, right? There are wanted posters and everything.
I’m sure you’ll find a way to weasel your way out of it, just like you always do.
Voice Actor
Chelsea

Unpaid
She/her, woman. A henchperson of the captain's former boss. Thinks violence is super fun. Also thinks she is the captain's worst enemy but is definitely more of a mildly annoying thorn in the captain's side.
The boss says if you don't deliver this time, your ass is grass. Like, literally, like if you show up empty-handed I'm gonna gut you and feed your intestines to some pigs. Did you know pigs will do that? If they get the chance, they'll just eat people. It's so gross, I love it.
Voice Actor
Mall AI
closed
Unpaid
Thought they were fine with giving mall shoppers directions all day. Starts to reconsider this.
I am happy to assist mall customers!
(hesitant) I...I am not programmed to 'want' things.
