I noticed that there aren't any fandubs of Freaking Romance out there yet, so I figured I would make one myself! If you have any questions or issues submitting, please contact me through email at emmakocar(at)gmail.com or through private message.

Info/Timeline
This casting call is currently for Season 1 characters and extras, which spans about 20 episodes. All of these characters are currently uploaded, but I will likely reopen the casting call when searching for season 2 characters, so please be sure to check back if you are not cast this time around!
Casting for season 1 will conclude on April 10th, 2020, and roles will be announced by April 13th. I will send out scripts to actors once casting is complete along with any deadlines. Our goal is to have the first episode up by July 2020, with episodes going up weekly until the season has ended.
Rules/Guidelines:
1. Please have a good quality microphone! That means no background noise and your voice can be heard clearly. If for whatever reason you are experiencing problems and will not be able to get a quality audition in before the deadline, you can email me at the address above with your audition and an additional clip of your usual microphone quality.
2. Please have an email address you check frequently! If you are cast, this is where scripts will be sent and most, if not all, communication will take place. You must be able to respond to any questions/requests within 48 hours unless I have been notified beforehand.
3. Please be 18+ or get a parent's permission to submit for this project! There is some cursing in this project, though it has been made as clean as possible through censoring in the scripts. I would rather not get in trouble if you are a minor and your parents are unhappy with your voice being included in this project.
4. Be committed! If you are cast in a long-term role, you will be expected to continue with the project for future seasons and episodes, as this is an ongoing comic that I would like to continue dubbing in the future. All roles have a commitment level in the character description, though an exact episode count has not been given for lead/supporting/minor characters as scripts are still being developed.
5. Be nice! I don't want to see any hate or animosity towards others, whether you are cast or not. Anyone caught sending hate mail or degrading others who are participating will be cut from the project, their role will be recast, and they will be barred from participating in future projects of mine.
6 HAVE FUN!
7. Please check the updates for any info on clarifications/changes!
An 18-year-old girl who has been kicked out of her home by her abusive father and ends up in a "haunted apartment."

This is a lead role! If cast, you will be asked back for multiple seasons/episodes.
Finally... I'm going to get my own place!
