The Final Hours Are Upon Us
Today's the final day to get your auditions in! As of 12:00 am EST time (May 26th) the casting call will end. Just a final huge thank you to the extremely positive reception to this passion project! How things will proceed: Once all auditions are in, Feathermage (Caravan's creator) will review all of the submissions and from there we will enter "Callback Phase" The callback phase is where we' will give a lot more specific directions to help guide a small group of VOs that auditioned to narrow down the performances closer to what Feathermage envisioned for each character. Why a Callback Phase? This is Feathermage's first time working with VOs and the idea of her characters being brought to life. A lot of this helped her learn better ways of expressing just how her characters should sound. Never thinking about VOs before, it wasn't something she knew how to do. So instead of updating/changing each character's descriptions during the audition phase, we're going to do it directly with the VOs that have the vocal quality and texture that best fit the characters and then give some new lines with personalized directions. How Does This Work? We will take a few days to finalize the VOs we'd like to have callbacks with. We'll reach out directly and ask you if you'd like to do the callbacks. We will ONLY send you the callback lines/direction if you WANT to participate in this phase. We will take a week to work with the callback VOs to get to a final decision. Future Collaborations This being a passion project and Feathermage's first ever collab with VOs, we're still helping her get a feel for the process. This is mainly for small teasers and animatics for her Webtoon. Not sure if there's going to ever be full comic dubs. BUT if there are, instead of future casting calls, if people are interested, we may contact them down the line as some voices we've listened to may fit for other characters in the future. Again this being a passion project we do not feel entitled or assume anyone that isn't cast would be interested in devoting their time in the future. But we may ask and offer that opportunity for potential collabs beyond this point. -
1 Week Left!
There's a little less than 1 week left to send in your auditions! I want to take the time to thank everyone that has volunteered their time to audition for this passion project. I know it means the world to the author, Feathermage. It's her first time looking to explore the world of online collaborative projects and you all are making it such an amazing experience so far! Just a note on what's going to happen after the deadline comes. We've been reviewing the auditions and making notes. There will be a callback phase where we'll reach out to specific VOs to give them some more directions to see if we can polish out certain voices with personalities. After that, we'll be looking to make a final casting announcement. It just made more sense to do that then to adjust certain character descriptions this far out in the process. She's definitely overwhelmed with the amount of talent that showed interest in this little project. Thank you all so much. -
