Deadline
Hey everyone! Just a little soft reminder that the deadline is in a little over 2 weeks! :)
Divided Pathways
Comic Dub - Casting Call OneWhat is this?Divided Pathways, Previously just Divided, is a rebooted version of my old series! More specifically, this is a comic rather than a fully animated series due to my schedule. I am rebooting it as I still believe there is a story to tell, and with proper rewrites that story is now presentable!
"When her Sister mysteriously disappears without a trace, and the Kingdom are doing nothing to find her, Alitza takes it upon herself, as well as blackmailing two opposing Kingdom Spies, to uncover the truth. Surely nothing is wrong with this plan.. Right?"
This Comic can be very disturbing at times, and as such is targeted towards older audiences, if you are auditioning, please take these themes and warnings into consideration.
- Harsh Language
- Religious Manipulation, as well as other manipulative techniques
- Emotional Abuse

Rules for Auditioning
I don’t consider myself very strict, but regardless, please heed the following rules and have fun!
If you are discriminatory in any way, whether it be Homophobic, transphobic, racist or ableist, stay as far away from this comic as possible. Not only do I want nothing to do with you, this comic has many characters who are either Disabled or a part of the LGBTQ+ Community, so it is NOT made for you.
That being said, You do not have to be a part of any specific communities listed to audition, everyone is welcome!
Only audition if you are 13+.
Please have as little background noise as possible in your audition.
You must have Discord, that is my only real way of communication!
This project will be long term, so please only audition if you plan on sticking around!
Put emotion into your auditions! Please do not sound like a robot.
The due date is the 15th of February! I may push that back depending on the amount of auditions I get though!
All of the characters swear, some more so than others but you HAVE to be okay with swearing to audition.
