CODENAME: Project Paintball (Splatoon Fan Project)
Project Overview
Hello, on the internet I go by Star. Thank you for taking the time to check out the casting call page for Project Paintball. Please read what's said below before auditioning.
WHAT IS PROJECT PAINTBALL:
Project Paintball (Codenamed) is an animated Splatoon based web series which I started the concept for about a year now.
The story follows an Inkling named Bryan who through a series of events, becomes an Agent. Despite this being a Splatoon-based story. I did make an effort to write the series in a way that may be appealing to both Splatoon fans and non-Splatoon fans. So you’re still more than welcome to audition if you’re not familiar with the games but still want to have a go at auditioning.
The show’s visual content and dialog falls somewhere in between a PG and PG-13 production. The show will run in Volumes, each volume ranging from 3 to 5 episodes which will release monthly. Volume 1 will have 3 episodes and will hopefully be debuting during the second quarter of 2020. The series is expected to have 6 volumes splitting into 25 episodes. I hope to get out 1-2 volumes a year.
I'm putting up auditions because while I was able to find voice actors for existing characters, I am left trying to find people who would be willing to voice the ones I have yet to cast. All available characters set to debut in Volume 1 are listed below.
PROJECT POLICIES (Policies to be followed should you get a role in the project):
Information about upcoming volumes/episodes given to Voice actors before release (unless otherwise told) should not be disclosed. This includes mention of the project up until its proper public reveal.
I would preferably like it if we could record lines via voice chat. Typically, when I have a script for a volume done, I will reach out to all of you to find a time where both of us may be able to sit down and record. Please respect the time we agree on and if something comes up preventing you from being able to record, let me know in advance and we can arrange for another time.
Understand that in terms of length, Project Paintball is a large-scale project and as such, I want long-term commitment as the series will be running for around 4-6 years. This also means I need some way of contacting you in which you will be active. I WILL NOT ASK FOR LINES OFTEN! AT MOST I’LL ASK FOR A HUNDRED LINES EVERY 8 MONTHS!
THESE ARE NOT PAID ROLES. Work on this show is a volunteering effort and will not be compensated by any form of currency.
THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE AUDITIONING:
Before you audition, make sure that you comply to the policies listed above. Do not hesitate to send me a private message should you have any questions.
I’m not too picky about microphones and can make do with a good sounding laptop microphone. But understand that I do have some sort of standard as to audio quality.
You need to be 13 years or older to audition. Or under with parent supervision.
If you audition and don’t get a role, there is a chance that I may contact you to offer you a cameo or a future role. I need to know whether or not you consent to this in the note you send in with your audition.
Most character designs are not final and all are subject to change.
For a better chance of getting a role, please send in multiple takes of each line.
Which yes, these are not the final auditions for the project seeing as to how this is for the cast debuting in the first volume. More volumes will come with more opportunities. Just drop an email with your audition note to get notified every time I put auditions back up.
With that being said, thank you for your time. Have fun and I look forward to listening to your auditions.

And with that, the first auditions for Project Paintball have now closed! Thank you so much to everyone who took an interest in my project and went out of their way to audition. Picking people was a very hard process and it was hard to let down a lot of you. Don't worry, however. I do have cameo roles that I will be contacting some of you sometime next month for so keep an eye out for those. I will also be holding auditions in the future for other roles for the series. So who knows. I have contacted and casted anyone who got a role. If you did not receive my memo but can see that you have been casted, could you please send me your discord or your email address? Once again, thank you all for your interest in my project. To the people who I will be working with, I look forward to working with all of you. Best, PressStar

Looking for a vocalist.
If any of the female auditionees are interested, I need you to private message me or hit me with an email at [email protected] with a demo reel as to your singing. It's something related to this project so I would appreciate if you contacted me. Thanks! -
Deadline Update
Hey guys! Thank you all for your auditions. It makes me really happy to see that you have an interest in my project. I decided to push back the deadline by 2 weeks just so I could get the Casting Call to more people and get more auditions so I'll be doing that. Thanks for your auditions. I look forward to working with you all.
Once the 3rd agent of the Squidbeak Splatoon and Inkopolis' most regarded protector, Aaron is without a doubt one of the strongest and swiftest Inklings to exist. This all changes when he gets into an accident fighting against a cult which leads him to being unable to do his job. Seeing the urgency of the situation and knowing he won't be able to do anything in his current condition, he appoints Bryan as his replacement and serves as his guy in the chair during his missions. He even serves as a father figure to Bryan seeing as to how his dad is not present.
IMPORTANT:
Aaron is a much more monotone character than others in the series. Just about everything he says has a deep sense to it.
Alright. Let's go over the plan one more time...
It'll do. So tell me. What do you know about the Sanitized?
For the last time! I don’t know where they are! How many more people have to die before you get that through your head!?
Having just moved from abroad, Kelley comes from a place where combat is much more popular and respected than Turf Wars. Because of that, she does a very good job of fending for herself, with or without her weapon. Despite that, she has a hard time moving and having to adapt to the new town, new people and even a new weapon which she has to relearn. She starts off hanging out with Bryan a lot, seeing as to how he was put in charge of helping her adapt to the new school. But besides that, she starts off at her new school struggling to make friends given things that happened with her not too long before moving. Through it all, she continues to he kind and uses her abilities to help others as much as she can. Leading to her involvement in fighting against a cult.
IMPORTANT:
As one of the leads, Kelley goes through some of the most development in the series. A such, whoever gets her role needs to be comfortable expressing all kinds of emotions.
*gasp* Oh my god! Are you okay!?
(Playfully) You know, you make a terrible fighter.
Alright, listen. I'll take them from here. You leave and evacuate anyone you can.
Ivan is your stereotypical jock. He's tough, good at sports and can be a jerk. He's also a huge player and spends his time hitting on girls whenever he's not picking on others. He's the captain of the school's Turf War team, his pride and joy. His team being one of the best. As such, he and his team constantly travel or go to the city to play other schools and sometimes even established professional teams. This, of course, makes him all the more egotistical. He's very feisty and aggressive and has no problem getting through anyone who messes with him.
IMPORTANT:
For this role, I need someone who can be very good at being cheeky, intimidating and passive-aggressive.
(Sinisterly)
Hey slow down… after all you just got here… so stick around for a bit… We insist… We’ve missed ya buddy…
Oooh… so this man thinks he’s big... that's kind of a problem now ain't it?
Oh, so that’s it? You’re just gonna leave me hanging just like that? Pretty messed up Bryan. Then again, I guess you would know a lot about getting left.
Best friend of Ivan. He can either be really calm or really wild and aggressive. He also plays on the school's Turf War team which says a lot about his ability to use a weapon. Despite many people thinking he's a suck-up to Ivan. They mutually see each other as their "day 1's" and would do just about anything for the other.
IMPORTANT:
Whoever gets his role needs to have no problem with yelling. They also need to be good at sounding SUBTLY psychopathic.
Wassup punk!?
(Sinisterly) Haha… what? No no… of course not! I’m just here to talk…
(In a fight) Not today, shrimp bait!
Samantha can occasionally be more of a comic relief character. She’s really wild and is a friend in some way to everyone. She shares a class with Kelley when she moves in and through that, they become best friends. Despite being friendly, keeping a decent status with everyone also makes her a relatively good gossip girl as she knows almost, if not everything going on around the school. Which can serve as her trigger to coming off as exuberant to sometimes even creepy. She can also get extremely stubborn at times.
IMPORTANT:
For this role, I need someone who’s comfortable with talking loudly and yelling a lot.
I also want Samantha to fluctuate in speed when talking. Going from talking very slowly to very quickly during her lines. That’s why its best to send multiple versions of her lines. Provided I will detail which parts of her speech should be said in which tempos.
You know, I've heard witnesses say that he was rather young. Like our age. DO YOU THINK HE GOES TO OUR SCHOOL!? WHICH ON OF THEM IS IT! IS IT YOU! OH THIS GUY LOOKS SUSPICIOUS! LET'S SHAKE HIM TILL HE CONFESSES!
Oooooohh... what's with the unsteady eyes? You think she's cute, don't you?
The principal of the school. He can be found monitoring the hallways during the lunch break, before, and after school. He's very strict but has a sense of justice and understanding to him.
IMPORTANT:
I need a professional sounding vibe to this character. Obviously, as someone who works a very prestige occupation, he needs to radiate that in his speech.
Needs to sound sharp and stirct when needed. But also understanding when the time is right.
Alright, nothing to see here! You all have classes to get to so get moving! As for you three...
Abububub… I don’t want to hear it. And believe me, if I have to talk to either of you about this kind of behaviour again, I might even go as far as to get both of you removed from the school’s turf war team… Have I made myself clear?
You’ll find out in time. I never understood the pressure at such a young age but… the school board makes the rules. I’m just hoping to relieve you of some of that stress.
