CASTING NOW!!!
Thank you SO much to everyone who auditioned! I am now going through and casting the roles. I'll be sending out the Discord link to everyone who made it. Once again, thank you all for showing interest in this project.
My Life As A Background Slytherin ~ Comic Dubs
Project Overview
I have been a massive fan of Emily McGovern's comic series for the past year. So much so that I would love to begin a dubbing series centered around it! I would like to emphasise immediately that this will be a non-profit project, and, as well as having fun with it, will be used to help promote this brilliant artist's work. In fact, you check out her website here: http://emilymcgovern.com/
RULES:
1) A good quality microphone is ideal. We can sort out the odd fuzz, but anything where your voice is almost unrecognisable will not be accepted.
2) Due to some of the content in some of these comments (nothing too bad, but there's a tiny bit of lewd stuff), we'd prefer to have auditionees 13+.
3) This project will be spanning out for as long as Emily keeps making these comments. If you know you cannot commit, DO NOT AUDITION!
4) Since this project is non-profit, I cannot pay any of my actors. So please, do not audition and then ask for payment if you're cast
5) We will be communicating primarily through Discord.
6) If you are cast, please be nice and don't be a dick. I operate on a "three strikes, you're out" rule.
And one final note, the roles of Emily, Luna, Draco, Lucius, and Wanda's Father have already been cast, in case you were wondering if I missed them out.
Auditions close on the 1st of March. Good luck!

Another thing to remember
Oh, one more thing! I've noticed that there are some roles that people didn't audition for, or I only received one audition for it. Therefore, some people cast may find themselves landing a role they didn't originally audition for. Good luck all the same! :D -
DEADLINE IS TOMORROW!!!
Thank you so much to everyone who's auditioned! Tomorrow is the deadline, and then on the 2nd, I will choose the roles. Please remember that if you don't have Discord to please get it, as I'll be making a group for all of the cast members so we can organise things easily. Good luck!
Voice Actor
Violet
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to:
KingSpirals
Violet is the Background Gryffindor. This girl basically gives no fucks. Make her as savage as you want.
"Heard your dad's rotting in Azkaban now, Draco. That's fun."
[After upsetting Draco] "Get ready to see some Thestrals, Emily. Because you just witnessed a murder!"
Voice Actor
Wanda
closed
Unpaid
Wanda is the Background Ravenclaw. She's naturally a know-it-all, but isn't stuck-up about it. Instead, she's very curious and quizzical.
"You know, it's crazy that wizards even bother to use locks at all if there's a spell that just does it for them."
[Frantically chasing after Emily] "Why have keys at all if literally every other person can use Alohomora, or like, just VANISH the door?!"
Voice Actor
Kevin
closed
Unpaid
Kevin is the Background Hufflepuff. He's kind-hearted, but very shy and self-doubting, which should reflect in his voice.
"Goodnight, my little plants. All safe and snug in the greenhouse."
"I certainly don't come here to cry and hide from whatever terrifying thing is happening in the castle at any given moment."
Voice Actor
Severus Snape
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to:
Vanwood
Our good old edgy professor. Except in this series, he's not edgy, he's FABULOUS! Make him as flamboyant as you can.
[At every pause, he's posing in a different way] "Mistah Pottah! OUR. NEW. CEH-LEH-BREH-TEHHHH!!!"
[Sung to the tune of Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas] "Have yourself a Snapey little Christmas! Make the Yule Tide gay!"
Voice Actor
Female Student(s)

Role assigned to:
deleted46428
Now trust me, I know this doesn't sound like an exciting role, but if you are cast, you will be in A LOT of the comics. So I need someone who's going to be committed. Especially with the female role. Your main part will be the "Broom Girl", Emily's first (reluctant) friend in Hogwarts. You'd also be cast as Hermione, who hasn't spoken one word in the comic yet.
"For fucks sake, Emily, can you be chill for like one second?"
"Gryffindors. Think they're so badass, but really they ain't shit."
Voice Actor
Male Student(s)

Unpaid
Role assigned to:
Chazz Ravenelle
Now trust me, I know this doesn't sound like an exciting role, but if you are cast, you will be in A LOT of the comics. So I need someone who's going to be committed. Since there are several roles, showing off your vocal range here would be great. Oh also, you'll be Cedric Diggory too, who only appears for one comic, and Ron, who has like one line.
"Moody turned Malfoy into a ferret and bounced him all over the shop! It was hilarious!"
[Cedric] "But I shall transform a rock into a dog to distract the beast! Don't worry Kevin, it's all 100% safe, ministry-approved fun!"
Voice Actor
Albus Dumbledore
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to:
Ghen-dout
The headmaster. Very haughty, very overdramatic, and VERY keen to uphold the school's reputation, no matter the cost...
"*gasp* WHAT A CALAMITY! PIDDLING INFORTUITY!"
[Threateningly] "You keep your bibbling mouth shut."
Voice Actor
Minerva Mcgonagall
closed
Unpaid
The deputy head. Still stays true to the original character, but loves the occasional compliment.
"She has natural skulking abilities, Severus. Look!"
"I am the best pud pud."
Voice Actor
The Bloody Baron
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to:
DBGreece
The Slytherin Ghost. He's a very indimidating presence when he wants to be, so a deep voice would be preferable.
"Oh, do excuse me for a moment. There are some Hufflepuff first-years approaching."
[Make any noises fitting to an evil ghost.]
Voice Actor
Dobby
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to:
Tetcher
The house-elf. I'd prefer the same voice as the original, but this Dobby is a lot more "blunt" in his advice to others.
"Miss is being worried for Master Draco's safety."
"Has Miss considered using magicial impediments or enchanted sporting equipment to injure Master so grievously that he is being sent away from Hogwarts, but not so grievously that he is being dead?"
Voice Actor
Peeves
closed
Unpaid
Whilst a prankster, Peeves still has his struggles. A mischevious voice would be great, but make sure to adapt it depending on the scene.
"GOD DAMN IT, EMILY, I'M LOSING MY EDGE! MY REPUTATION IS ON THE LINE!"
"Today, chaos is taking the form of sitting quietly and drinking tea."
Voice Actor
Harry Potter
closed
Unpaid
Surprisingly, Harry barely shows up in the series, and when he does, he's almost always a target for Draco's taunts. So just give him a voice you think is fitting.
"Not if I duel you first, you smug blond bastard!"
[Dramatically cry]
Voice Actor
Dolores Umbridge
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to:
LabellessHolly
This evil hag only appears in a couple of comics. I would like her voice to sound as elderly and shrill as you can make it.
"Helluuuu children!"
"Wat."
Voice Actor
Girl Who Screams And Makes Everyone Panic
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to:
Clare Chan
Do I need to say anymore?
[Try to say all this in one breath] "WHAAAT OH MY GOD KEVIN THERE'S LITERALLY A MASS MURDERER ON THE LOOSE HIS NAME IS SIRIUS BLACK HE FUCKED UP A PAINTING AND NOW EVERYONE'S GOT TO SLEEP IN THE GREAT HALL OR WE'LL ALL DIIIIE!!!"
[Just scream - try not to mess up your throat]
Voice Actor
Sorting Hat
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to:
Vanwood
Despite only being in one comic, it's the first comic. You need to have a good voice for him so we can get the series off to a great start.
"RIGHT, Emily, is it? Where d'you want to go?"
"Look, hurry up, you're only a background character!"
Voice Actor
Kate
closed
Unpaid
A health inspector who meets a grisly end. A professional voice would be ideal.
"Well Mr. Dumbledore, the Hogwarts Health and Safety report is in. It's not great."
[Scream as though you're falling]
Voice Actor
Sam
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to:
DBGreece
Kate's replacement. A professional voice would also be ideal.
"I'm here to complete your Health and Safety check, as my colleague Kate never returned from her initial site visit."
"Mr. Dumbledore, may I see you in your office?"
Voice Actor
Gilderoy Lockhart
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to:
Vanwood
He's in one comic, but he ROCKS that comic! He's basically a WWE announcer, so make sure the voice matches.
"DUELING CLUB IS LIIIIIVE, MOTHERFUCKERS!!!"
"The club where we get little twelve year olds to curse the shit out of each other 'cos, I don't know, WHY NOT?!"
