DEADLINE REACHED
AND THATS A WRAP!!!
I want to thank everyone who auditioned, there was over 100+ which is crazy!?!
I'm taking the weekend to go over and decide roles so bare with me as I go through them all 🫡
HELLO THERE AND THANKS FOR SHOWING INTEREST IN THE (technically unofficial) FRUIT SALAD COMIC DUB CASTING CALL!!!
With permission from Josh-S26 (Original Comic Creator), I want to bring to life his first pilot comic of Fruit Salad. I am deeply in love with the characters and world he built and want to do him justice by giving these characters just a tad big more of magic with voices. For those who don't know about the Fruit Salad Comic (Check the comic here: Fruit Salad Pilot Comic on Twitter/X or here if you don't have Twitter/X)
IMPORTANT NOTE!
- THIS IS A NON-PAID PROJECT
This is entirely a passion project, I sadly do not have the funds to provide payment for any voice actors who wish to help with this so it would be entirely free, my apologies
REQUIREMENTS FOR AUDITION:
- MUST BE 16+ TO AUDITION, some characters have some profanity so be aware when you audition for a character
- A CLEAR QUALITY MICROPHONE, we want this project to be as top quality as we can make it (no xbox 360 lobby mic lol)
- PERFERABLY HAVE DISCORD, I can try doing email or twitter/X DMs but Discord is the easiest and quickest way of reaching out to people
- COMMUNICATE, if you don't respond for more than 3 days, I will be forced to choose someone else to do a voice instead
- BE WILLING TO DO RE-TAKES, Josh has given me freedom to come up with how these characters are going to sound so I may ask for retakes to get their voices JUST right
- BE ABLE TO FOLLOW DEADLINES, I understand IRL factors can get in the way but I don't want this project to take longer than it should since I will be editing everything so please be able to follow deadlines when they are given.
- BE WILLING TO STAY IN CONTACT AFTER DUB IS RELEASED, if and when Josh decides to do more comics, I would love to keep some of the same cast for any returning characters.
HERE IS ALL THE CHARACTERS YOU CAN AUDITION FOR, A BIT ABOUT THEM, AND THEIR AUDITION LINES FOR YOU TO LOOK OVER:
FRUIT SALAD VOICE DIRECTION
INSTRUCTIONS ON AUDITIONS:
- Please read through the Comic and Google Docs so you can FULLY understand your character and how they should sound like
- Remember that I DON'T WANT A EXACT IMPRESSION OF A VOICE REFERENCE, use the voice reference as a tool to make a voice unique to you and the character
- Must record audition in ABAB format and export as a MP3 file, you are allowed to audition for more than one character
- Name your file with the character you are auditioning for and then your name.
Ex. "Applesauce_SogeyBread.mp3"
- Be sure to HAVE FUN! This project is a fun way to bring characters I love (and hopefully you do or will love too lol) to life!
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS WHATSOEVER, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO REACH OUT TO ME ON DISCORD (sogeybread) OR TWITTER/X (@SogeyBread21) AND ILL DO MY BEST TO HELP YOU OUT!
THANK YOU AGAIN AND GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!!
