Fearless Cries (WCUE fan series)
Project Overview
π INTRODUCTION π
Hello, everyone! This casting call is for Episode 1 of "Fearless Cries".
The series will be showcased through Voice Acting and Music, alongside the charming graphics from the Game βWarrior Cats: Ultimate Editionβ that can be found on Roblox.
This is a Fan Series built around the exciting world of the best seller book βWarriorsβ published by Harper Collins and written by authors Kate Cary, Cherith Baldry, and Tui T. Sutherland under the collective pseudonym Erin Hunter.
Since I was young, the world of Warrior Cats has been so appealing and exciting to me. Being an artist myself, I created so many original characters set in the same ambiance and universe as the characters from the books.
Multi animated projects, art, fanfiction, and more are being constantly created around the massive fandom that is Warrior Cats. I have thought to finally give my fair share of adventures filled with relatable, appealing characters and terrifying villains!
β WHAT TO EXPECT β
This project is fan-made and is written by mostly me, along with the help of other people who are volunteers in the production.
Expect a welcoming, exciting, and collaborative environment, but also expect to receive criticism and extensive direction.
I will set soft deadlines, and, I will try to accommodate my cast and crew's personal schedules to a reasonable extent.
These positions are unpaid, although I will help the members of this Team to get adequate resources as best as I can.
We will meet and work through Discord.
An active Discord account is mandatory to partake in the project.
π STORY & CONCEPT π
This series will revolve around Brindle, a young cat with the apprentice role, as he discovers dark secrets, reveals to our audience about Clan life, and ventures against all odds. Most characters on screen will have a unique and complex story/background that will slowly be uncovered and affected during and by Brindleβs adventures.
The series will include both dark and wholesome themes.
The darkness of some deep emotions, the magical in the mundane, the cryptic horrors of misfortunes, and the marvelous things that spark a characterβs life, such as love, friendship, and rivalry, will mix together to bring us through a thrilling journey.
My goal is to give my(our) audience the multiple feelings that the great cinema media has always gifted to us.
From the wonder of writing to the pride of seeing the final product come to life, I invite you, dear auditioner, to join this project and share unforgettable memories and experiences with me.
β WHAT WE ASK OF YOU β
First and foremost, have fun!
Itβs with joy and inspiration I take action on bringing together talents coming from any background or medium to create something unique.
None of it would mean anything, though, if the people involved aren't passionate about their art and crafts!
ποΈ Voice Actors ποΈ
The voice, is one of the most important things in a character. Only hearing a voice, you may be able to understand what the character feels, or how the character usually behaves. Emotion, is one of the many precious keys that form a character.
- Be dedicated through the project!
To join, I would like you to understand that, many of these characters will come back in
future episodes, or be a vital part of the project, meaning you may be able to stay with us for a
long time, through the production moving forwards. Changing Voice Actor for a character is
definitely a possibility and choice, but still one that is mostly negative or difficult to make.
- Please, audition with as less background noise as possible!
A clean microphone is an essential tool for quality.
Try to avoid air conditioners, fans or car sounds in the background as much as you can!
- Record 3 takes for each line, and try to be creative!
In order to truly pick you, we will have to judge and understand your voice through multiple takes.
We will need you to please, record multiple times, showing off various tone examples or different
ways something could be said.
Feel free to add anything else you think a character could say, improvise, and have fun!
- All accents are welcomed!
Any and every accent will be welcomed in this project.
- You may Audition (and be casted) as 1 or more characters.
You can, if you desire, audition for one or more characters, and, you may be able to be picked to voice multiple as well!
π΅ Music Composers π΅
Being one of the finest arts, music is really important, in a movie/series. Often, a musical score is able to communicate what words or visuals cannot, and, can deeply affect not only a viewer, but their feelings as well, sparking any kinds of emotion.
- Teamwork makes the dream work!
Although not confirmed, you may or may not work near other music composers working on one track.
This means I will expect some sort of collaboration, between other users. If not possible, the tracks will be simply made separately.
- Make sure the audio is clean!
You may work with actual instruments, or, even with digital ones, to build up a song/ost.
If you record utilizing real instruments, make sure to avoid background noise! It can be a real mood killer, sometimes!

Update!
Thank you all for the amazing support and for the many wonderful auditions! The Team is SUPER excited on beginning the project, and so am I! I definitely have my eyes on so many talented people in the Auditions and I cannot wait to invite them to be part of the Staff Server! Having said that, keep the auditions coming! You never know if you may be the lucky one to be picked to voice one of the characters from Fearless Cries! Good luck, and, I cannot wait to see where the project will lead us! ^-^
With this project, not only I wish to bring original adventures and entertaining plots, but also, original music that will allow the characters to truly come to life on screen!
Music is amongst the finest of arts, and, a movie/series without music would be... empty, stolen of life.
Any type/genre of music is welcomed (even tho Cinematic or OST are preferred!) as I am willing to try and experiment with the best we can do!
Please, audition with a fully original track you have created!
Say something you think would fit
The settings for this project will be directed mostly in the England wilderness, following multiple group of cats as they fight, form alliances and dive deep into multiple kinds of adventures!
We will need multiple animal noises (especially cat ones), bushes rustling, footsteps, ambience... anything you could imagine in a forest!
Say something you think would fit
For this role (Video Editor for special effects) I will need you to send over a couple of edits you have done in the past, both with the original raw clip, and with your edit.
Make sure there are no watermarks in the product (unless your personal one, but no program watermarks!).
Remember also to name the programs used for the edits! ^-^
Say something you think would fit
Character:
Ghastly'Star is a cold, cruel, manipulative and incredibly clever she-cat. Leader of ShadowClan, she believe the true meaning of strength is nothing more but in muscles.
Voice:
She will have to hold a deep, strong and authoritarian female voice.
Voice Hint / Head-Canon(s):
Amirah Vann
Abigail Marlowe
RafScrap
(Cold, condescending)
I've seen kits hunt better than that.
If you want to impress me, you'd have to come up with something better.(Threatening)
I am tired of you. You will now shut your mouth, or, deal with the consequences.
I am sure you know already what they are about.(Angry)
So, you are telling me you had him right in front of you, at the grasp of your claws... and still you failed?!
Character:
Lion is a rather stern, soldier-like tom, whom has seen many battles. He tends to obey orders, without questioning the morality of those too much.
Voice:
His voice is supposed to be deep, almost growly.
Voice Hint / Head-Canon(s):
Don Leslie
Samuel Ramey
Brian Dobson
(Commanding / Stern)
Yes my Leader. It will be done.
You! Down there! Follow me, we are going for a mission.(Slightly scared / Insecure)
No, Ghastly'Star. That wasn't my intention- this mistake will not be repeated.(Angry / in Battle)
Charge! Those fox dungs will NOT take more away from our territory!
Character:
Brindle is a young small, weak and frail tom, whom is often cowardly as well. Despise those characteristics, he can also be really smart, and brings along a kind heart.
Voice:
Brindle has a young sounding voice.
He will have to range from a child to possibly an older voice. Make sure to show variants for you possibly ageing up in your performance!
It is also very important for the characters to be able to express lots of emotion. Be able to scream, cry, mutter... the more the better!
Voice Hint / Head-Canon(s):
Justin Briner
Tom Holland
Jeremy Jordan
Elijah Wood
(Awkward)
H-hello there!... Brindle here! I was just passing by- I am sure there is no problem with that, right?(Fearful)
What is going on? Why are they doing this?!
Can I even do anything to stop them?(Sad, through tears)
It's unfair!... was that truly necessary?
This world is unjust. Why can't things just be... normal?
Character:
Thunder is a rather confident, ambitious, brave and stubborn character. He would do anything, if it means to achieve his goals, often falling towards darker paths.
Voice:
Thunder has more of a deep teenager voice. He will also age up, during the course of the series, so, I will need you to be able to show off a more mature voice later on. Make sure to record a couple takes, showing off also how you may age up in your voice!
You must be able to express lots of emotion as this character! Anger, frustration, insecurity and doubt are a big part of this character's arch, and we will need to see those expressed trough your voice!
Voice Hint / Head-Canon(s):
Clifford Chapin
(Angry)
Ugh! Stop your whining, you're making my head hurt.
Why don't you, for once, grow up and realize there is nothing more than this?!(Mocking)
Normal?... and tell me... what is, normal?(Insecure)
I... didn't mean to.
I don't know what was going on in my mind, I am sorry!
Character:
Dreary is a cold, clever young tom whom often hides his emotions, for the best of those around him. He tends to spend lots of time alone.
Voice:
His voice should be almost monotone sounding, melancholic. You must be able to show this character growing up trough his voice, meaning that I will request of you to record a couple takes, in which you showcase a younger, and a more mature voice!
Voice Hint / Head-Canon(s):
David Matranga
Aaron Dismuke
(Cold / Neutral)
You better start thinking about your own tail, unless you are too stupid to even do so.(Angry / Threatening)
Tsk! Are you sure that is truly the way you want to go against?... as you know, I don't have a problem with it.(Saddened)
I am sorry little one... that is how things go, sometimes.
The sooner you realize you can't do anything about it, the better.
Character:
Cloud is a kind, yet strong and agile, fluffy she-cat. She tends to be amused in Clan's rumors, and sometimes plays detective, to her own risks!

(Playful / Witty)
Aw, come on! It's only for a look!
It's not like anything bad could happen anyways!... *gasp* unless you are scared!(Kind / Neutral)
Now now, I am sure they didn't mean it. Maybe we should simply leave and think about something else.
Character:
Fox'Paw is a prideful, not too smart and bratty, young tom. He often causes mischief, and, can be rather rude or mean.
Voice:
His voice is loud, grumpy, yet high pitched! I would like you to showcase a possible growth in within your audition!
Voice Hint / Head-Canon(s):
Yuri Lowenthal
Vic Mignogna
(Proud / Mocking)
Don't you know who I am?... I am Fox'Paw. Son of the Deputy. And who are you, exactly?.... right. No one.(Angry)
I will make you pay for that!(Whiny / Annoyed)
Uuuuugh! My tail!... it's all ruined- thanks to that mouse-brain!
Character:
Blooming can be rather... mean. She is a brat whom doesn't often thinks for herself and hates rules, following blindly her young clanmates into mischiefs.
Voice:
Her voice should sound rather high pitched and annoying. Make sure to showcase multiple lines, with different tones, as this character will also age up.
Voice Hint / Head-Canon(s):
Karen Fukuhara
Kayli Mills
Erica Linbeck
(Mean)
Who says I can't treat you badly? I do whatever I want.
You know, if there was a rule against it, I would still not follow it.(Whiny)
Ow! My tail! Watch where you're stepping, mouse brain!
Character:
Roan'Bark is a grumpy old lady, that still displays a more nurturing and caring side to her, depending on whom she is interacting with.
Voice:
Her voice is lightly graspy and mature.
Voice Hint / Head-Canon(s):
Wendie Malick
(Grumpy / Annoyed)
Those mouse-brained younglings!
With all due respect, which is none, I would like you to keep those fleabags away from my tail as much as possible!(Angry / Threatening)
Hey! You keep your filthy paws away from her, you hear me?!
I will rip your eyes off, next time!(Saddened)
They... took her away. They took her as they took everyone else before me... I am the last one here...
Character:
She is a very soft, kind, witty, yet forgetful and old she-cat. She is known for being rather beautiful when younger.
Voice:
Her voice should be both kind, yet raspy due to old age.
(Kind)
Who is there? Brindle? Is that you, young one?
Ah, it's nice to see you! Mind to sit with us for a story? It's the only thing I can offer, after all.(Scared)
W-what's happening? Am I causing any trouble? Oh my!... is this happening already?(Comforting)
Now now dearie... there is no need to cry. I am old anyways, and, it was a pleasure, fighting alongside you.
If this is the last thing I can do, I am glad to do it for you, of all cats.
If today is truly my time to go... I will meet you where the grass is made of a thousand lights.
Character:
Rowan is a rather quiet tom, whom despises his mother, and is often found working hard for his Clan.
Voice:
Surprise me! I don't really have a head canon or even a way I can imagine him speaking in particular, so, it's up to you!
(Neutral)
Do you need anything?(Sarcastic/Annoyed/Threatening)
That will barely feed a mouse. You better go back out there and bring home something more, unless you want me to feed YOU to the hungry.(Serious with a light tone of melancholy and threats)
You are nothing anymore. Just a waste of space whom only eats precious resources that could've been food to strengthen others.
I hate to break it to you as your son, but it's time you get off your lovely illusion of what life could be, and start seeing it for what it is.
Extra characters will be mostly the whispering voices in the background, warriors talking, kittens, apprentices.
Any voice you may hear in a crowd, or as a minor interaction with a character.
Even though extra roles are often out shunned or deemed as not important, beware, as they give lots of life to a scene.
If picked in this role, you may be recurring over and over trough the series, possibly claiming a higher role in the future, and be assigned to an official character.
KITTENS
(Excited)
I love the stories of the Elders! They are always so cool and interesting!

(Happy)
Sure! I'll come along! How about we patrol together for a bit?
(Annoyed)
Ugh! I was assigned just the other day to clean the warrior's dens. It's truly disgusting!WARRIORS
(Neutral)
Go fetch the elders some food. If you need me, I will be in Camp near the fresh kill pile.
(Excited)

(Shocked/Wishpering)
What?... No! Impossible... The rumors can't be true!
