Cartoon Pilot Episode “In Limbo” Casting Call

Cartoon Pilot Episode “In Limbo” Casting Call

Project Overview

Hello! In Limbo Team here, We are currently doing a casting call for our 3rd-year school capstone project, which is an animated television series pilot episode.

Please note that this is unpaid! 


In Limbo. What’s the story?  

We have a 30-second animated sequence as a proof of concept with placeholder voices.

Limbo is about a special pocket dimension in a magical box, where people’s emotions from the real world, manifest into living ‘folk’. These folk come in all sizes and shapes. Some live in peace, and some are out to cause trouble. The world is both a source of adventure as well as a sort of ‘emotional education’ for our characters.

The pilot follows Matilda and Matthias in one of their earliest adventures in Limbo. Leaf and Peat task the kids with putting a dangerous snake in a bottle.

Hello!

Voice acting auditions are finally over. Thank you so much for the overwhelming response!

Due to the number of auditions here and on the Voice Acting Club, sorting out auditions, judging, and sending responses to emails may take about a week or two, as we are currently on a tight production schedule at school.

We will not take any late auditions after this post.

In the meantime, if you're interested in following the development of our show, you may find us @1n_Limbo on Twitter.

Kind regards,

The In Limbo Team
