Oh gosh! Casting!
This afternoon I will start downloading files and giving some thourough listens to everyone's audition. I've also been listening to them as they come and I'm so excited to hear so many amazing actors wanting to involve themselves with my little pet project. My intention is to have my final decision by Wednesday. I really want to be able to cogitate on the voices and play them back to back and just put together the best possible cast I can where everyone can shine.
There will be one exception to this. I'm holding off on casting on Molly until auditions for Olivia are done. I really want the voices of the sisters to mesh. I've also had some actors give me really strong auditions for both, so I want to wait until everything for Olivia is in before making that final decision. If you have not done so, and wish to, Olivia will be remaining open for another two weeks.
To more technical things: I'm intending to try to keep all VA's on a leash for as short a time as possible. I want to make you have to wait around for things to happen. I'm finishing up the script as we speak, with the intention of distributing it at the end of the month (after both main girls are cast and it's had time to pass through my editors). With 6 episodes at about 20 minutes a piece, this will likely require a commitment through the summer, at least, for what I consider my five leads (Olivia, Molly, Nathaniel, Ferris, and David). There's a lot of things that can be done to shrink that timeline, and it will be discussed in more detail with whoever is cast. However, if there's going to be a major conflict with this (admitedly vague) schedule that you think might prevent you from participating in the project now would be the time to tell me.
Other than that, thank you everyone! This is going to be great.
