Casting Announcement
Flavie S. and Adeline Frateur have been cast as Elise and Adeline DuVall, respectively; There are still five roles left for anyone looking to audition.
"Midnight Stories" is an upcoming 3D animated fan-made web series based on the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, featuring an original storyline written by Nick Domingo.
Set in the late 1800s, two years before the events of the video game Hogwarts Legacy, "Midnight Stories" follows a group of fourth-year Hogwarts students who wake up and discover that the dreams and stories keeping the school alive has stopped.
With the castle slowly dying, the students decide to journey through their own dreams (and nightmares) to save the school before it disappears for good.
If anyone here enjoyed Hogwarts Legacy, this web series aims to give Harry Potter fans a story with the same magical feel.
CASTING REQUIREMENTS
All voice actors wishing to participate must have a Discord account as that is where I will be sending the scripts and where all communication regarding the project will take place. A proper microphone and (if possible) quiet recording environment are required.
Due to the story taking place in the Wizarding World, voice actors must be able to do a British accent, or in the case of some characters, a French accent.
Voice actors must be able to perform with a wide range of emotions and dialogue delivery as there are some intense (but not violent) moments in this project.
All recording for this project will be done remotely. When lines are requested, actors will have six weeks to turn in completed vocal takes.
MORE DETAILS
While this is set near the events of Hogwarts Legacy, "Midnight Stories" features an original storyline and is in no way affiliated with Wizarding World, Portkey Games, or JK Rowling.
This is a volunteer/non-commercial fan project open to any aspiring voice actors, whether you're a fan of Harry Potter or not.
All personnel involved in this project will be given full credit in releases and all promotional material.
