Callistaria: An Independent Animated Magical Girl Series (Pilot Casting)

Callistaria: An Independent Animated Magical Girl Series (Pilot Casting)

Project Overview

"Callistaria is about a young girl who finds herself dreaming of the distant past and the soon to arrive future and is set on a path to train herself to be ready to stand, fight, and defend her home. It will be, loosely, a magical girl series, with a number of high fantasy and sci-fi elements! Magic, cool weapons, and kick ass girls learning what it means to fight and stand together."  

 Hello! My name is Bee, I am the main director of Callistaria. Callistaria is a major WIP show that my team and myself are currently working on the pilot episode of! This means we need voice actors for this project. If the pitch for this project is successful and we are able to reach our goals, our end goal is to bring every person on the team (artist, animator, VA, etc) with us to work on the show in a professional setting, if possible. So consider this a long-term project!


SUMMARY

    Cherise Avene has always dreamed of going off and adventuring like her ancestors once did before her.  As an inexperienced and particularly clumsy young mage, her family had been nervous about it for a long time. But when Cherry finds a long forgotten magical artifact that calls out to her, and is quickly summoned to the queen's court, it seems adventure came seeking her. Join our young and eager lead as she discovers what it means to be a hero.

    

AUDITION INSTRUCTIONS

  • Must have a Blue Yeti or better quality microphone

  • We will be bringing you on to provide voices for the pilot episode, but expect this to take time, and if in the future we do get picked up/this becomes a full fleshed out series, please only apply if you know this could be long term. We want dedicated team members!! 

  • Please check back regularly as roles may be added or removed during this process of our writing team hammering out the details of the pilot episode~ 

  • If you have any specific questions, please direct them to the proper channels which you can read under rules~ 


RULES

  • Below under the character information, it will be stated if a character is Queer, a POC, etc… The director of this project being both, expects those auditioning to be able to relate to these roles. I’m not asking to out yourself, though. If necessary, please feel free to email your submission, or send it to me on discord. It is IMPERATIVE to me that these roles are cast to those who earn them, AND who can approach them from a place of experience and keeping things like representation and equal opportunities majorly at the forefront of final decisions.

  • A Quick Message from the Casting Director

    Hey everyone! My name is Robin and I'm the casting & voice-over director for Callistaria! The response to this project has been amazing & very exciting so far! We're overjoyed that so many of you want to be part of this world, and we're trying our best to make sure we take the time to carefully listen to every audition. To help with the final selection, we will be holding a callback after the deadline to help us get a feel for how our cast may ultimately sound together! We will be asking people individually before then if they are okay being cast in roles other than the one they auditioned for in case we think you're a great fit for a different character! We won't be scheduling callbacks until AFTER the audition deadline has ended, so please don't worry if you haven't heard from us before then!!! It doesn't mean that you weren't selected! We look forward to the rest of the audition process! Again, thank you all!

Bubbly and fun, Cherry is a reluctant optimist who is normally loud, happy, and outspoken.  When she questions her abilities or gets embarrassed (which are often), her voice is more shy and reserved but should still have that undercurrent of hope.   Mid to high-range tone.

Astrid's voice is normally a lower deadpan, almost monotone in the way that it sounds.. until she has a rare moment of emotion, in which case her voice is known to squeak or crack.  Mezzo-soprano to alto in terms of tone.  Dipping on inflections like their stress pulls at her from within.  

This character is a POC and thusly we will be prioritizing casting those who have that same life perspective!

Minerva is a non-binary character whose accent should be a natural punjabi with an inquisitive tone.  Is a bastion of information and knowledge, so they're prone to rattle off in run-on sentences.

Seraphina's voice should be on the lower alto range.  She has a stern temperament but with a heart of gold.  Down to earth and matronly, scolding as a primary form of communication because that's easier than being honest about how much she cares about her team.

This character is written as MTF Transgender, and we are prioritizing casting actors with that same life perspective!
