EXTRA INFO:
If you're looking for a more prominent role, follow this project, as more roles will pop up over time!
Make sure to read this carefully before auditioning!
For What It’s Worth is a semi-fully/fully animated action adventure fantasy series that I am creating, revolving around Flayden, Tikkari and Wyro, three Banefolk on an adventure to find a mysterious crystal as part of an active job. The plot also follows a variety of different stories from other characters that tie in to the overarching story of the show, and focuses on world building and character development.
There are 2 kinds of content that will be posted around this series:
Full Episodes (around 7–20 minutes long)
Short Episodes/Clips (around 1–5 minute long)
Please be aware F.W.I.W may contain sensitive themes, including but not limited to:
Blood (In the show, blood isn't really "real" for most characters, as they usually "bleed" abstractly. "Real" blood will not make an appearance for most parts of the show.)
Cartoon Violence*
Mild Horror*
Themes of Abuse
Themes of Suicide
Other sensitive themes
*Not extreme
A few notes that apply to everyone:
Try to keep in good contact, if you’re going on hiatus or need to inform me of something, please make sure to have good communication about it!!
When you receive the role, you’ll be given access to the crew discord server
Try to stick to deadlines when they are provided, but I am more than willing to provide extensions or discuss other alternatives if you find you are unable to stick to them due to any personal issues or other things.
If you are given information for a new short/episode, do not share anything about it until the short/episode is released!
Make sure to have fun! :] It’s a very open and relaxed project
VOICE ACTORS
You’ll be provided a script or animatic (with a script included) when your character plays a role.
You will be required to do a few takes, but not a lot, only a few of your best takes (around 2–5)! If you really struggle to cut down your recordings, I’ll be happy to do it for you, but it’s better if you can do it!
You may be asked to redo certain takes, but I try to keep asking that to a minimum!
Sounds like grunts are also important in certain parts (e.g. your character is hit or in battle). Bear in mind you may also have to do those if it is needed
Clear, clean recordings, no background noise in your recordings!
Be prepared to record a range of strong emotions in your takes!
ROLE INFORMATION
Some roles are one offs for shorts unless stated otherwise, but there is a chance you may be called back for another part of the series! There are lots of minor roles that will show up on the casting call over time! Be aware of this before auditioning.
Other characters may have entire episodes that are dedicated to them, but may not appear frequently either or may not have a starring role until later on in the show.
Make sure to read the role of the character you’re auditioning for well before you audition! It’s quite relaxed, so you’re welcome to take creative liberties!
You don't need a fancy microphone as long as your audio is clear and clean!
A few notes that apply to everyone:
I will be more inclined to recruit people who are around 17 and above, but my auditions are open for those 15 and above. Keep this in mind when auditioning!
Improv is allowed and encouraged!
You can audition here or via send me an audition discord! (Mine is saviourcereal)
If auditioning through discord, please name your file as "charactername_username" to make it easier to access for me.
Don't send me a friend request through discord unless we do not share any servers, my direct messages are open to all.
For ORIANA, GOON 1 & GOON 2, Auditions end ASAP - they will close as soon as I find someone suitable, as these characters in particular have speaking roles in Episode one which is currently in the audio editing/storyboarding stage, so we really need these roles filled.
For other roles, they will stay open for as long as required, and will be filled more slowly, so you can take more time to audition with these roles!
Hello all!
Small update - those of you who have auditioned in the minor/misc character section, I'm looking to get in touch with some of you soon to see if you're interested in taking up roles for other side characters in the show (similarly to Derek/Volley), who might fit the voices/demo reels/improv work you've shared! There may be some messages over the weekend, so keep an eye out!
Cereal
All available roles (except the misc roles) will start going through the shortlisting process, and eventually will close with final selections.
All the roles listed won't be an immediate start once you get it, but it will definitely secure you the role for the episodes your character will be present.
Thank you all so much for your interest in my project!
The roles of Oriana, Goon 1 & 2 are no longer taking auditions! They'll be reviewed, and I'll be in contact with the new takers for these roles soon -- thanks to all who auditioned for these guys!
Hey everyone! Just a reminder that these three roles: Oriana, Goon 1 and Goon 2 will close for casting this Sunday (17th December 2023)!
Hey all, I've added some lines to Volley's audition tab! If you've already submitted an audition you're welcome to submit another, including the one you have already submitted!
Thanks for the support so far!
Would be great to have someone on the team with experience to edit audio tracks & sound effects together, as I don't have a lot of experience in it myself!
All I ask are for examples of any work you've created and projects you've worked in (if applicable).
*Say something you think would fit*
Small roles with minimal lines and highly unlikely to return - if I feel that your character will return or If your audition fits a more consistent character I will inform you fully before giving you said role to make sure you are happy with this - Any voices can apply here from children to adults, and you can submit as many different voices as you would like! It can range from any voices and of any age characters! There are no specific lines you need to read for this, so if you just want to give something a try or are interested in this project, you're more than welcome to send an audition in this section! If you're looking for a more prominent role, follow this project, as more important roles will pop up over time!
*Say something you think would fit*
A sly sabien, possessing the ability to shape-shift. While she's usually looking out for herself, she isn't afraid to partner up with others if it benefits her in the long run. Oriana likes to take many different forms to do things her way.
Sly girlie, middle aged adult woman

Hmhm! We dont want any trouble now, do we?
Let's just say, it's a little like hitting two birds with one stone!~
*Say something you think would fit*
Male
Currently an unnamed character - they have a few lines in the first episode. (they may make a reappearance in the future)
Both "Goons" also fight during their scene, so please keep this in mind!
Goon 1 is intimidating and strong, very focused on his goal.
End of the line, Flayden! You can’t escape us now!
You had your chance. Get him.

Female

Goon 2 is more feisty and quick on her feet, in contrast to Goon 1
Stay out of it, lady, if you know what’s good for ya!
Hahaha… That’s what they all say!
*Say something you think would fit*
Young/Middle Aged male - Confident and optimistic!
No specific voice claim in mind, but he doesn't have a strong accent and has a generally balanced voice (not too deep or high)
A popular fighter in arena sports, so he's got to keep a good public look.
He does really enjoy arena fighting though, despite it being exhausting at times.

Haha! That's right! Another win for me! Great game though, you really pack a punch!
Ugh, and I was so close too... Damn it!
*Say something you think would fit*
Volley prefers to keep order and peace in his realm. He is very tidy and doesn't enjoy getting messy, and coming from a bloodline of regality and leadership, he strives to continue to uphold his family's name.
Regal posh voice for a very regal posh man. Assume he's in his early to mid 20s

Hm... Now what do we have here? Ruffians disturbing the peace again, I see? (Smug)
(Muttering) Ugh... mud all over my scarf... and I just had it washed...... What? No, there's no issue here, do carry on!
