Crocaboo

Project Overview

Starting notice: I am only willing to work with people 16 and older. Explainer video is unlisted and only for audition purposes! This is a short teaser for a longer project planned. The dream game plan is a 10-12 episode Season to tell a part of my story.

Crocaboo is a musical 2D fantasy/adventure series with a target audience of teens aged 11-15 and up, on Youtube. It is set in the fictional world of Birusa, full of sapient creatures called Crocaboo. Out story follows two young 'boos, Valentine and Firefly, as they travel to a forgotten land in search of the truth behind their destinies. The story will be tackling themes including balance of harmony & disharmony, found family, life beyond death, and the uprooting of tradition.

As stated, this will also include heavy use of music and song. Though not for the specific teaser, singing talent will be a requirement down the line. Please include examples of that on your account. 

This is also a heavily positive LGBT+ show; both of the main characters are queer, if that's something you want to be aware of before auditioning. Thank you for your time!

There's a small animation demo on my YouTube channel, but nothing official yet - this would be the first one. To get a visual feel, characters will be animated as the feature video, but more lifelike (that rig is still incomplete, but it will have 180-degree smooth rotation in Toon Boom Harmony - think Hilda or Lion Guard). Background style I'm aiming for a textured lined style like what you'd see in Owl House, Gravity Falls or Amphibia.

See the update posted for more character information!

If you're interested in applying for other characters in the doc, feel free to e-mail me your auditions :)

  • Processing through these

    Holy cow you guys!! 500 auditions??? Was not expecting this much attention. There is SO MUCH wonderful talent out here, and choosing roles is going to be very hard!! Know that I have been keeping up and listening to everything coming through here (and e-mail, YouTube, etc...) and I am truly inspired by hearing all of you. This is definitely not the end of my casting process, there will be way more than 10 characters down the line. I will honestly be coming back through here for future roles as well, so keep an eye on your inboxes in the future ;) in the meantime, I will be going through and contacting people chosen in the coming weeks. I'm one person making these decisions on top of a full time job, so if it takes a little while just keep in mind I'm doing my best to make this the best!! Keep on voicing, singing, you name it - again, this place is full of talent.
  • Added characters

    I'm so sorry, I just realized I hadn't added all of the Doc characters (minus one, as he's basically cast) to the CC list on here.... that's been done now!! Anyone who auditioned for other characters are totally encouraged to check out the new ones if you'd like. There were some good voices out there so far :) In a few months I will definitely come back here with another casting call for characters who will show up later in the season. This time around I Wanted to test the waters with folks showing up around Episodes 1-4, and I've learned a lot about what to & not to do... So thanks for sticking around while I've been running around editing this thing, I appreciate everyone's interest!! I wasn't expecting this to gather as much interest as it did!

Valentine is a young girl with her head in the clouds and her heart out in the open. She's full of optimism and naivety, and usually jumps into things without thinking. Voice claims include Kipo (Kipo & the age of wonder beasts), Charlie (Hazbin Hotel) & rapunzel (TTS). Check the doc update for more info about her!

  • How do you think we'll find it? The way to Yew City? (unsure)

  • No, not for sure. But I'm choosing to believe it's out there. (tentative, then confident)

  • Good... I wouldn't be able to do this without you. (relief)

Firefly

Role assigned to: Ariana Nicole George

Firefly is Valentine's best friend (and eventual love interest). She's a stickler for the rules, and can be stubborn on that front, with a more stern and cautious voice. Voice claims are inspired by Cassandra (Tangled the Series), Sunset Shimmer (Equestria Girls) and the like. Check the doc update for more info about her!

  • ...Do we know for sure it really isn't just a myth? (cautious)

  • Well, it's our only lead forward. I'll trust this as long as you do.

Hobbs

Unpaid
cast offsite

He | Singing talent possible.

Voice Claims: Stoick the Vast (How to Train Your Dragon)

Accent: Scottish or Irish (heavy). Old man.

Hobbs is an old wise man, who is full of more than what meets the eye. A war hero from his youth, he spent most of his years afterwards building Luniper Village into what it is today. Along the way, he found Valentine as an egg and raised her as his own, open from early on that she was adopted. He cares for her greatly as a father, and they share a close bond. Nowadays, he mostly keeps to himself, keeping up with organizing and politics within his office. 

  • Please, Firefly, how many times have I told you to stop being so formal? I may be head of our village, but you're basically family.

  • (Grunts) Yes, well, she's rather set in her ways. No reason you can't set your own, lass.

Flora "Seraphine"
closed
Unpaid
cast offsite

She | Singing talent required.

Voice Claims: N/A

Accent preference: none, open to any! Adult woman.

Flora is Firefly’s mother, only a bit younger than Hobbs. She was a soldier in the same wars as he, and they’ve worked together since their early days. She served him during the founding of Luniper as well. Flora is a strict, no-nonsense type though she has a soft spot for her children. She ‘tolerates’ Valentine, though is open about not wanting Firefly to be around her, despite them being best friends. At the end of the first episode, we learn Flora’s real name is Seraphine and that she’s a Sun Kingdom Crocaboo who has been hiding in Birusa as a spy, looking for an ancient lost object to return to the Sun God.

  • It is my duty as sunborne to see through King Cyrus’ wishes. It is your duty to follow orders instructed by myself. It would be a shame to report back only to give him bad news. After all, you wouldn’t want to be a disappointment to your king, would you?

  • (sighs) I’ve been on this earth for a long, long time. I’ve almost forgotten what home feels like. It’s much too cold on this planet, I’d give anything to feel the warmth of the sun in my core again. (real sadness, manipulative undertones)

  • Still nothing but an annoyance, I see. Always meddling in matters you don’t understand. Now… Let me through. (Annoyed and exasperated)

Buster

cast offsite

He | Singing talent required.

Voice Claims: Janja (The Lion Guard). Age range unspecified.

Buster is a member of the Hunter’s Mark with a disdain for anyone without this elite mark. He’s a classic bully character. He eventually follows Seraphine under the promise that she can help him unlock untapped power within himself. 

  • You wouldn't last two days outside the dome!

  • Maybe, to a couple of goodie two-claws. Want to bet on that?

  • Oh man, this is too good. Sure, I'll bite. (More ominous) How does tonight sound?

Role assigned to: sonjap4actor

She | Singing talent preferred.

Voice Claim: Valka (How to Train Your Dragon) - accent unnecessary

This character appears in the opening flashback scene of Episode 1; she is seen carrying an egg being chased by monsters. (It’s Valentine’s egg, that will be obvious to viewers). Voice team can learn more about her from the script. She doesn’t appear in present-day scenarios.



  • I have come from a faraway land to seek your guidance. I have lived a life full of hardship and despair, and even though we have fought hard to make a difference, nothing has changed. I know now that if we keep our backs turned, nothing ever will.

  • Beings of pure light, please, lend this child your voices. I am offering you the chance to return your song to us again, to bring light back to our world. Fogeye grow stronger with every passing day, and our voices run dry and ragged without a star to guide us. It is my hope that bestowing us such a gift can save us all.

I have music in there currently, but I'd love to have something original instead! I'm no composer, but if anyone with an eye for music can work something out that gives off a similar vibe to what's in the teaser video I'm all ears!

Voice Claims:

Accent preference: none, open to any! Fun oldish man. Maybe kind of like a pirate?

This interesting one is a man of many hats, and many names. Dusty, owner of Dusty’s Tavern. Rusty, nighttime blacksmith. Gusty, sailor of the high seas - it goes on! Is it the same guy, or does Dusty have a bunch of identical siblings? Who knows. 

  • ‘Scuze me little lady, you lost or something? I reckon you don’t belong around these parts.

  • Oh? The name’s Rusty. You’re just thinkin’ of my charming and handsome twin brother I’d guess.

Dahlia

Role assigned to: S.Jacklin

She | Singing talent Preferred.

Voice Claims: literally just Ashe Overwatch

Accent preference: Smooth southern. Adult.

Dahlia is the leader of the Black Beauties, a group of rough ‘n tough found-family Crocaboo who don’t stay in one place too long. They brand themselves with a mark of black beauty flowers so it’s known they belong to this group. They’re basically a bunch of cowgirls hitting up bars and places doing jobs for food and drink. Dahlia is ambitious and respected as a leader who doesn’t tolerate nonsense. She’ll put the necessities and safety of her crew above her own comfort, and hides her own weakness at their expense. 

  • Listen, kids. Y’all should just go make a home for yourselves around here. There’s nothing up north but frozen death. 

  • Not everyone gets to have a second chance, no matter how much they’ve earned one. Go on, show them what you’re made of.

  •  (sighs) Just go ahead and close my tab. Looks like I’m not sticking around tonight

Role assigned to: alexmitts

He | Singing talent is not required.

Voice Claims: Jackson (Hannah Montana)

Accent preference: Southern?? or Beachy? Adult.

On the outside Chad is the loveable, confident, handsome lifeguard all the girls love. While he is definitely fun and loveable, he’s actually a total dork. He works and lives near Sandy Bottom Beach, where he keeps an eye out and makes it a fun, safe place for anyone passing through. He always has a smile on his face. He’s more comfortable with everyone on the beach, except around… Adrian. The mysterious Mer-Boo he watches from the shores. His gals are always pushing him to go talk to the guy, but Chad’s hands get sweaty and his knees turn into jelly whenever he thinks about it. He can’t help but think about it, though.

  • Welcome to Sunny Bottom Beach! Stay here for as long as ya like, we only ask that you spread the word around to any other travelers you pass by!

Role assigned to: Megan R Youmans

They (non-binary) | Singing talent maybe?

Voice Claims: n/a

Accent preference: something cute and nerdy! :) Teen-ish.

Though seemingly careless and scatterbrained at times, Zigzag has a heart of gold. They, similarly to Val and Fry, have never left their hometown, even though they’ve read about the world outside in Kelptown’s vast library. It’s their dream to see the world and study it, especially Fogeye and other unknown illnesses. Kelptown doesn’t take kindly to that sort of talk, so they keep it a secret. They have a slight stuttering problem, having a hard time finding the right words to get out what they mean sometimes. They unintentionally interrupt conversations or finish other peoples’ sentences, they just really are happy sharing their knowledge with others even if they come about things too forward. If it’s something they’re interested in however, they can ramble forever.

  • Oh gosh, oh gee, um- let me see - let me see what I can find!

  • Did you know they’re called Fogeye because their eyes fog over when they get sick? I heard they can still see though, that’s so cool! Well, I’m sure it’s scary, but really cool right? I wish I could see one in person you know? Just for like, five seconds?
