THE EXTRAS
These characters show
up for one chapter, say a few things, and are never seen again. They might have
names, and they vary in gender and voice. The type of voice isn’t terribly
important, as long as the emotion fits.
There will likely be another call for extras in the future. Stay posted after this call closes.

Project is closing!
Hello, auditioners, followers and everyone else! The results are in and we'll be casting tomorrow, but don't worry if you aren't selected. There will be an opportunity for lots of extras which I will post in another casting call, along with a couple of supporting/minor roles that still need filling. Thank you to everyone who auditioned! I'm thrilled to work with all of you! -Cressie -
Deadline Pushed Back to December 9
There are still 5 female roles to be auditioned for, so I'm leaving this CC open another 2 weeks. If we don't get them, I'll include them in another casting call for extras. Thank you, all of you who auditioned already! We can't wait to start casting! -
Some Female Roles Still Need Auditions
Dee, Glixnarkenog, Grace, and Commander Paula all still need auditions. Feel free to try out for any or all of them!
Serleah [Ser-LEE-ah] is an arctic fox. She is a security chief. Tough and headstrong, she doesn't let other people push her around. Any range works as long as it's not too high.
[Reluctant] It’s a trash heap, Leph… and particle cannons are the cheapest and least effective weapons a ship can have. But I suppose it does have its charm.
[Angry] You hired Zach to be the engineer on your ship? Are you mad?! Last time he got in a ship, he blew my apartment in half!
[Commanding] We're leaving for a planet five-hundred light years away, and we need to do it by tomorrow. We can’t waste time flirting.
Leena is a fennec fox. Fun-loving and easily excitable, yet introverted. Her voice is high-pitched.
[Making an excited discovery] If someone climbed into the crate, they wouldn’t be able to close the locks! It’s the only explanation!
[Annoyed] I’m not a kid! And what are you doing in our supplies?!
[Flirty] He doesn’t look like a dangerous pirate. He’s kinda cute.
Rackham is a Husky. Dee's husband. A really big older man with a deep, scratchy voice. Can be jovial at one moment, and very, very angry the next.
[Friendly] HA HA! Oh, no problems at all, Leph. There’s plenty of room like you said, and looks like it won’t get too crowded in there.
[Angry, shouting] All of you! Get a damned hold of yourselves! I trust Leph, he’s a smart man, but if we all panic and argue, nothin’ll get done! So shut your traps, sit down, or find out why they call me "Jackhammer!"
[Angry] Leph, I made two mistakes today. One was going along with your plan, and the other was lying to all my people about you being smart. Listen closely: if your plan goes south, the blood of all these people are on your paws, you realize that?
Dee is a Husky. She is a soft, kind, old lady and wife to Rackham.
[Surprise] LEPH! My lord, don’t sneak up on me like that. What’s going on?
[Nostalgia] She’s grown up so fast. I remember when she was just a little kit like it was yesterday.
[Scolding] Now now, no need to get worked up about it this early.
Teliko is a fox. She has a mid-high voice. Leena's friend and later, Yar's love interest. Bubbly and energetic most of the time.
[Anger] It's part of his religion! You can't do this!
[Fear] I… Is what he says true?
[Joy] Hell nah, this is too much fun!
Yar is an otter. He is a bit of a coward, and has a semi-deep voice, but it's flexible.
[Reassuring] Let her go. She won’t get in the way… probably. She’s just worried about Leena… and the other two, of course.
[Teasing] How old is he, anyway? He’s certainly older than you.
[Confident] I believe in her, Feldoh, so don’t worry.
Cyrus is a human. Stone cold commander. Monotone, cool and collected. Loses cool near the end of the last chapter he's in.
[Explaining] This is a very high amount of ammonium nitrate to be carrying, isn’t it? That’s a very explosive compound, you know.
[Angry] Why did you choose to dock at a Solar Federation station?!
[Nervous wreck] How long till our boys get here?!
Prax is a hyena. He is in his 30s and has an authoritative tone. His pitch shouldn't be too high.
[Commanding] Rex, bring the pulse cannons online and load the antimatter torpedoes. Fire a warning shot, and don’t hit any docked ships.
[Flirty] Ahhh! Is that chorus of angels I hear Serleah?
[Joking] And it’s starting to seem like you’re the only ship getting into trouble.
Bowman is a lion. He has a loud, deep voice. He is racist towards foxes, so be sure to make any references to foxes condescending.
[Authoritatively friendly] You are about to enter holy service! Cheer up. I am Bowman.
[Fury] Cease your evil tongue! Did I tell you you could speak, fox?!
[Menacing] You look like you’re in charge here, keep those… foxes submissive.
Teri is a pine marten. She is in her mid-20s, and has a bubbly voice, but can be serious and sympathetic.
[Friendly] I'm Teri. Nice to meet you.
[Apologetic] Feldoh… I’m sorry, I… didn’t know. I mean, I don’t care about the scar…
[Joking] Maybe it's because his face looks like a prune.
Ray is a fennec fox. He is Leena's father. He is narcissistic, a liar, and a deadbeat, with a mid-high voice.
[Arrogant] Greetings! This is my assistant, Meryl. And I, as I’m sure you know, am famous bounty hunter Ray Phoenix!
[Fear] Wha- Hey there, big guy! Long time no see! I’ve got a question. Why does it look like you’re about to kill me?
[Exasperated] I don’t know, I’ve never been a father before! Shit… What does she like?
Meryl is a wolf. Ray's sidekick. Hates humans, is slightly cold and angry most of the time.
[Annoyance] On second thought, we do need help.
[Contempt] Yep, the Solar Federation’s bastard child and worst kept secret.
[Anger] Human!
Nephron is a Colitosite, which is a big, hairy alien. Idealistic general. Angry, stern and commanding with a deep voice.
[Skepticism] I’m starting to agree with you. Take me to this star!
[Curiosity] Is this a door? If it opened, it would be very difficult for someone to use it, it’s almost five feet off the ground!
[Rage] We're losing! How can we be losing?!
Zirrix is a Colitosite. She is in her 30s. Rebel leader. General Nephron's counterpart.
[Arrogance] If I die tonight, do not despair, I will live on in my deeds!
[Confidence] I am Zirrix, leader of the Rebel Factions. And you are going to teach me how to use this.
[Anger] Then tell me where I can get more!
Buta is also a Colitosite. He is an angry old man.
[Impatience] Then what are... those?
[Awe] Nephron… we may have stumbled upon something that will win us this war.
[Concern] Be careful, they may be expecting you to make a rash move.
Cain is a human. He has a mid-low voice. Mad most of the time. He's genetically engineered.
[Cool] Rico, you showed up. I expected you to cut and run.
[Menacing] Two days. If you can’t find me a transport by then… well, I don’t have to tell you what will happen.
[Interest] What? Oh, it’s you. I was just listening, an old habit. The more information you gather about anywhere you’ll be spending a lot of time, the better.
Gedio is a raccoon. He has a deep voice. He laughs a lot, but can be very serious when he needs to. Give us a few laughs after the third line.
[Friendly] Heh, by the sound of your voice I’d say it was a rough trip.
[Jovial] Well, I’d kick you right out of here under normal circumstances, but that would be a death sentence, Ha ha!
[No nonsense] Sorry. Anyway, a retro-fit will cost you a pretty penny, to use a Human expression.
Strange, fourth dimensional alien. No gender. Voice will likely have aftereffects applied to it.
[Monotone] Kill them at all costs if you should encounter them...
[Very mild anger] What have you done?
[Very mild gratitude] Goodbye, Leph. And thank you.
Glixnarkenog is a blue alien. She is not a very pleasant female to be around. Her voice is put through a synthesizer-translator, but a coarse mid pitch will work.
[Arrogance] Tsu, you think I don’t know that? My ship isn’t as shitty as yours, you know. My sensors actually work!
[Confidence] Freeze! I have you now!
[Impatience] What are you talking about?!
Rissa is a wolverine and Leph's ex-wife. She has a mid-high, patronizing voice and a manipulative personality.
[Mocking] Oh? Did you replace me so soon, honey?
[Contempt] You broke my heart, Leph. Now I'm going to break yours.
[Warmth] The winner takes it all. Take good care of him, will ya?
Shelly is a wolf. She is a reporter, and has a middle-pitched, strident voice.
[Impartial reporter voice] I’m Shelly Halliburton for AGNN, would you care for an interview?
[Disturbed] T-Thank you, Mr. Devora.
Marcus is a human. He has a phobia of Atrieans (animal people). Scared most of the time, mild mannered every time else. Mid-high voice.
[Suspicious] Sir! They’re probably transferring the weapons!
[Terrified] Marcus, they’re just being friendly, just being friendly…
[Nervous] Uh, I-I’m sorry for taking up your time, I need to get back to work.
Tony is a human. Slightly racist, misguided, ship captain. Deep voice.
[Commanding] Vasquez, signal the checkpoint, tell them that ship has been selected for a random search. Starr, Gomez, situation room.
[Confident] Marcus needs to face his fears. Besides, the photonic weaponry isn’t really on that ship. It’s bait.
[Anger] Not a single power cell! They double crossed us, no weapons, no secret test of said weapons! I doubt they ever existed in the first place!
Nan is a pine marten. She is a sweet, soft old lady with a high voice.
[Mild annoyance to surprise] Dear? Who is it? Is it that salesman a- F… Feldoh?
[Excitement] Now, Feldoh, tell us how you escaped.
[Anger] Grant! What an ugly thing to say!
Grace is a tomboyish snow leopard. She has a tough personality, and a mid-low to low voice.
[Aggression] Shut up, Sarah. He’s probably in prison himself by now.
[Relief] Dad! Oh, I missed you...
[Fear] Be quiet, father. Just a little more and we'll be safe.
Grant is a pine marten. He has a deep, scratchy voice, almost like a smoker's voice.
[Anger] If you really cared about my daughter, you wouldn’t have gotten her killed!
[Apologetic] I’m just an old fashioned, sad man. I shouldn’t judge what’s in another man’s heart.
[Suspicion] Who’s asking?
Grey is a snow leopard, and Grace's father. He has a calm, mysterious demeanor and a deep voice.
[Cool] Now, let me send a message. You can call me Grey, though most humans I’ve met call me Angel Eyes, for some reason.
[Chiding] Now, now. What did your mother tell you about lying?
[Relief] There you are! Grace!
Paula is a human. Middle aged, board commander who's looking for some excitement out of her job. She has a mid-low voice.
[Intimidating] Well, captain Halen, you are not on the arrivals list, so you’re going to have to turn around and leave.
[Serious] We saw through your little disguise, now deactivate your engines and state your purpose here!
[Anger] Damn! Halen must be behind this whole thing! Someone find a way to cut through this interference!
Umetani is a weasel. Like Prax, but with less authority in his voice. He has a mid-high voice.
[Businessy] Take all the data we’ve collected so far, and take it down to the boys in the lab, see what they come up with.
[Commanding] Tell them to leave immediately, we don’t want any more civilians in danger.
[Exasperation] There doesn’t seem to be a correlation between its size and its health.
The judge has no specific species. Deep voice, yells a lot and is generally over the top.
[Disdain] Your disregard for the law runs deeper than we thought.
[Dismissive] Yes. Well, not on purpose. They are a natural byproduct of our creation.
[Angry] This is irrelevant! You cannot allow the witness to speak further!
Wallace is a human. He has a mid-high voice. He is referred to by Leph as "Wife Beater Guy."
[Urgent] Micheal! What do the scans show?
[Nervous] Uh, you should be able to dock where it used to be attached to the station, t-that is if the force field is in place…
[Fear] But... Alpha-2 is gone!
