OHANA: Echoes of Mālama - CASTING CALL #2

Project Overview

Written & Directed by OhanaAnimations

A supernatural drama about family, legacy, and the silence that lives between generations.

Set on the island of Mālama, the story follows the Akamu family as they confront grief, memory, and the unseen echoes that bind them.
Through dream, voice, and memory, the past continues to whisper — asking each generation what they will carry, and what they will finally lay to rest.

Blending emotional realism with a touch of the spiritual, OHANA: Echoes of Mālama explores what it means to inherit more than just a name — to inherit silence, love, and the unspoken.

This is a story told through both the living and the remembered — voices that linger, guide, and sometimes haunt.

Casting Goals

I’m looking for passionate voice actors who connect with emotion and subtext — performers who can bring warmth, depth, and truth to quiet moments. Every character matters, and every voice adds to the heart of this story.

**About the Creator:** I’m an independent storyteller and animator developing OHANA: Echoes of Mālama as a passion project. I’m handling writing, directing, and production solo, and I review every audition.

 

:WARNING:
This series contains themes of the following:

Mild Psychological Horror

Mild Abuse

Thoughts of Suicide


Audition Rules

• You must be 15+ to audition.
• Two takes per line — vary pacing, tone, or emotional shading. Keep the same core character.

• File format: MP3 or WAV. Name filesCharacterName_YourName.mp3

• Clean, raw audio — no music or effects. Record in a quiet space with consistent mic distance.

• Performance over perfection — I’m listening for emotional truth.

• Communication via Discord (ohana_32899)
• Submission via Casting Call Club (CCC).

• Deadline: April 18, 2026 – 11:59 PM PT.

Pro Tips

• Lead with truth, not volume.

• Honor the pauses — breath and silence carry meaning.

• Think in moments, not lines — treat each read like a tiny scene.

• Keep takes distinct — same emotional truth, different colors.

• Stay grounded — even big personalities have depth.

• Clean audio matters.

(All roles are unpaid, but every selected voice actor will receive credit and reel-use rights for their recorded lines once the episode releases).

Note on Accents:
(Authentic Hawaiian and Pacific Islander voices are warmly encouraged but not required.
If you can capture the rhythm, warmth, and emotional truth of the character, please audition — no forced accents needed. 🌺)
