Can't Buy Happiness Casting Call #7
Project Overview
This is an opening paid casting call for for a VA (Either male or female) to voice in the comic dubs for the webcomic series, Can’t Buy Happiness. First, a quick description of the series.
Can’t Buy Happiness is a slice of life webcomic series starring Hazel MacGee, the richest kid in town and daughter of the mayor of Crystal City, who goes on various adventures as she makes new friends and navigates the world of middle-class kids.
How this will work is once a comic gets done, I will send them over and that’s where the voice acting comes in. These comics usually go up to 6-7 panels max so these will be short projects. I will be making more of these casting calls as more character ref sheets get done so if you don’t get this role, it won’t be your last chance. Payment info down below.
PROJECT REQUIREMENTS:
Have Good Audio. This goes without saying. Good mic, no background noise, clear audio
Must be active. Please be fairly active and easy to communicate with. I wanna make sure everyone’s on the same page and kept up to date.
Communicate through Discord. The project communication will be done over Discord. So make sure to put your Discord info in your audition.
Have Paypal. This is a paid project and my method of online payment is through paypal.
Be 18 or Older. This is mainly due to the payment part of this.
Payment: $20 Per comic

My fellow students, a vote for me is a vote for order and progress!
Here’s the notes from last week’s meeting, Mr. President. We’re well on our way to funding the vending machine repairs.
No Sophie, you can’t petition the student council to declare that Hazel MacGee is “a smelly butthead.”

Montoya, Obsidian Observer. Have you or anyone you know been affected by the line cutting epidemic?
I’ve been working on this exposé on our cafeteria food for a week. I can sleep when I’m done.

Hey Frobro, got any games I can test for you?
Don’t worry Hazel, I know the secret to getting past this boss. Hold A and the right shoulder button then flip the controller upside down and you’ll get infinite health. You're welcome!

Man, can the school get a better looking website? Its layout and programming is so…basic.
Dustin, there is nothing in this game’s code that gives you infinite health. Stop telling people that.
Thanks for finding those glitches Hazel. Gotta take out all the boring ones and pretend the funny ones are intentional.

Last time I counted, I’ve nearly mastered seven separate instruments.
Bloody Nose is so… Shallow. If you want something really edgy, you should listen to Screaming Mad Jack.
I wish I didn’t have to sneak behind my parents’ backs so much, but they won’t let their future concert pianist listen to death metal.
