Farendia (ADULT/ ELDER VOICES NEEDED) ALMA AUDITIONS EXTENDED
Project Overview
LINK TO PART 2 OF CASTING: https://www.castingcall.club/projects/farendia-original-fantasy-audio-drama-casting-part-2
This is a casting call for all of the key characters in chapter 1! We still have a LOT more characters to cast for book one of the series (more to come later on)!
We need a LOT of adult and elderly voices for chapter 1! I would encourage those who are capable of doing that type of voice work to audition!
If you are wanting to audition for the project, there are some things that are required in order to do so:
Please have a good quality microphone. A little bit if background buzz, or static is ok as long as it isn't too noticeable and can be edited out easily.
Please have a Discord. Discord is the platform that will be used to communicate with as well as give out scripts to our actors!
You can audition as many times for the project as you'd like before the deadline. However, constructive criticism will be a big part in helping us choose who we feel will best play a character.
DISCLAIMER: Those of us involved in critiquing and casting do not discriminate against anyone wanting to audition. Anyone is welcome to try and be a part of the project!
Auditions will go for quite a while in order to give people plenty of time to post an audition. We will still need a vast number of characters and those will be put up for auditioning along the way!
We appreciate you all and cannot wait to hear your auditions!
