Pilot's Content: Mild Gore and Swearing
Hey everyone! Thank you all who have auditioned so far, I have extended the deadline to April 21st at midnight! This extension will hopefully give anyone enough time to redo their lines as well as anyone else interested to audition!
I've also updated Zack's description to further explain his character, as well as his vibe. I hope this will help with any re-auditions for anyone who has already auditioned!
That's all for now!
Zack Pitt is the Second Main character of the series. He’s clever and has a caring heart, though his awkwardness and anxiety tends to make him fumble. He tends to be the one who tries to be the voice of reason.
Voice Description: Medium to low vocal tone (preferably lower medium spectrum), Teenager, sound dorky, anxious, and can do voice cracks. Reference of voice is in the linked video above.
ADDED TIP: Zack is more of the uptight anxious person, and tends to panic more easily, so with panic lines, sound absolutely terrified!
Directors tip: Show your improvisation skills and really indulge into the characters personality, don't just try to mimic the voice reference, as I'm looking for someone who can fully enact this character well and really bring him to life!

Say, you look like a zombie, y'know. Did you not have a full night's rest or something? I've definitely been there, the other night I stayed up playing video games until I fell asleep. When my mom came in and woke me up for school, she said I was like a retired war veteran having a PTSD flashback. I guess I had a dream about the game I was playing, Call of Battle, so I woke up screaming about snipers on the rooftops and foot soldiers breaching our wall, and I guess I thought I had a machine gun in my hand because I was making that (GUN NOISE WITH YOUR MOUTH) sound, and acted like I was holding one in my hands-

Tip: Sound distraught, the beaten down want to give up kind.
Well I guess, In my free time, I try to solve some of the murders that have happened here. Things here aren't always hunky Dory, ya know. Been doing it for a couple of years but most of my investigations just…..lead to a dead end.
