DROPOUTS Pilot Casting Call
Project Overview
***I DON'T HAVE A DISCORD - MESSAGE ME IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS***
Originally a webcomic, now a cartoon, DROPOUTS is an animated mumblecore slice-of-life tragedy about a bunch of losers trying to win. I am in the midst of creating the pilot episode and hope to find voice actors willing to help me out despite the fact I'm a broke bitch.
It's greatly preferred if the voice actors are over 18. The general tone of the and style of acting is meant to be naturalistic (think something like a Safdie bros or Ralph Bakshi movie). Characters are meant to have a wide range of subtle emotions that they can wildly switch between within seconds. Improv is encouraged, though try not to go completely off-script - just adjust a line if it sounds weird when you say it.
While not a requirement, being willing and able to voice multiple characters would be a plus, especially background characters.
You can find the (unfinished) comic at dropoutscomic.net, which also includes an extended scene preview of the scene showed in the teaser, and will continuously be updated with more scenes as I finish them. You may notice there is already "voice acting" in the form of sound effects, but that's just a placeholder.

Voice Actor
Nick

Unpaid
Role assigned to:
Naroh
Lead role. Nick is the rebellious and bitter anchor to the rest of the characters, unsatisfied with the cards life has dealt him. His voice and way of speaking is meant to be venomous, stilted, deep and harsh, while being capable of intense emotional vulnerability.

Voice Actor
Marissa

Unpaid
Role assigned to:
Mapas
Lead role. Latino-American. Marissa is the overworked single mother who is trying to distant herself from her friends for her own sake. Her voice is soft yet authoritative, with the hint that underneath a motherly exterior is years of constant stress and disappointment piling on, a side of her that she lets air out whenever the opportunity shows itself.

Nevaeh

Role assigned to:
Kawiria Creed
Minor role in the episode, main in the series. African-American plus-sized woman. Nevaeh is the chronically depressed heart and soul of her group of friends. Her voice is that of someone who is constantly thinking of something else; monotone, quiet, distracted, a sort of "done with everything" attitude, but she does try to force out positive vibes. She just can't muster it in the face of total apathy.
