Description: High School of the Dead is set in present-day Japan, beginning as the world is struck by a deadly pandemic that turns humans into zombies, euphemistically referred to by the main characters as "Them". The story follows a group of high school students and the school's nurse as they deal with a worldwide catastrophic event known as the "Outbreak". As the cast tries to survive the zombie apocalypse, they must also face the additional threats of societal collapse, in the form of dangerous fellow survivors, and the possible decay of their own moral codes. Starting from the high school, the students escape into town where they must deal with a corrupt teacher and his students. They check their homes for survivors, and pick up a little girl and a dog. Later, they hold up at a mall, travel through a police station, and eventually make their way to an elementary school that is supposedly a safe zone.
Please be warned this anime is for a mature audience and so is this abridged.
Seeing as I am a voice actress myself planing on voicing a character, on top of directing and editing. I wanted to let you all know really look forward to hearing all of your auditions, and am really excited to see this project come to light and work with you every step of the way until that happens. I already have 2 of the 12 Scripts completed at the time of creating this casting call during which I will complete the rest. Because I feel I am asking a lot of those auditioning, and want this to be a project that all of us can be proud of, if the series does gain a some traction I will create a crowd funding page and any thing earned will be split between all the actors. If it flops, I know its not much but any main role will get $10, a supporting roll will be $5-10, any Extras $1-3 even if the project is not fully completed (please note these are in CND).
As of now only the characters appearing in episodes one and two will be listed, but as the scripts are completed more roles will be added. All Rolls Minus Saeko Busujima and Koichi Shido will remain open until the deadline, I have taken Saeko for my self, and Shido was cast offsite before this went up.
Tips for Auditions: When auditioning for this roll here are a few things to keep in mind.
1. Again this anime as well as the abridge is for a mature audience, You must be okay with Swearing, Adult Themes, and Suggestive content.
2. This is a violent anime with a lot of screaming, you will have to be loud. Every audition is going to contain a line where you have to scream or shout for this reason
3. Mic Quality is important due to the volume that you have to record at. Any mic you have that allows you to meet the below requirements is fine.
- Please have little to no background noise in your recordings.
- When screaming there should be little to no reverb coming through.
- Any microphone that provides you with clear audio (ie: No Gaming Mics, Webcam Mics, Cellphone, or Laptop Mics.)
4. Please have a Discord account and link it along with your audition as if you are cast all further communication will be done there.
Thank you all so much, and good luck in your auditions!
