  • Casting has been completed!

    Hey all! One more quick update to say that our cast has accepted their roles, meaning that "Quest Friends: Loell's Memory" has been cast. For anyone who did not get cast, I still wanted to take a moment to say THANK YOU for auditioning! It was delightful to hear so many takes on our characters; choosing between them was the hardest part. -Kyle
  • Initial Round of Emails Sent!

    Hey all! Casting was HARD. There were a lot of great submissions for each role, and we as a team had some pretty heated debates during the casting process. That being said, we've just sent messages to everyone we'd like to cast, so if you've received a message on Casting Call Club, please check it out - it may be me! And if you didn't get a message, please remember that between Casting Call Club and email, we received over five hundred auditions, many of which deserved to make the cut. Just because you didn't get a message doesn't mean you did poorly! -Kyle
  • Auditions are closed!

    And with that, our audition period has been closed! Thanks so much for everyone who submitted an audition - the team and I are absolutely blown away by the responses we got. So what comes next? Today, the team and I are going to sort through and listen to all of the auditions we received. We'll then provide an update when we have reached out to all of the actors we've cast, and we'll provide another update once everyone cast has confirmed that they'd like to be involved in the project. If you have any questions during that time, feel free to message me or reach out at [email protected] Thanks again! -Kyle

Paid: 1 USD per line
Role assigned to: koozy

The leader of the Angulan Knights who is a mix between a frat boy and a drill sergeant. He’s either yelling at you or laughing at mean-spirited “jokes,” likely both. (70 lines)

  • You see that Marv? You’ve gotta put your biceps into a proper door knock. But I suppose you need ‘em first, am I right?

  • What the hell kind of legendary knight is named “Loell?” (Scoffs) LO-ELL. You might as well stick with lamb-chop in that case; it won’t make history, but it’ll make a good snack! But we aren’t snacks, are we, knights!?

  • You did well on the mission today but you gotta learn your place in the pecking order, chickadee. We can only help the weak if there’s respect and discipline and fraternity within our organization, you got that? Don’t mess with me.

A boisterous medic with eternal excitement, projecting almost every word he says (even if he tends to choose his words poorly). (34 lines)

  • That buffoon of a mayor said they “deal with harsh weather all the time!” HA! Can you believe hearing “a slight sprinkle of spiders” as part of your regular forecast?

  • Look, my darling, I can’t help that I’m getting cold feet. (Pause) But not! Like that! Because! I mean! Tready, Tready, Tready, show the, show the thing, show the thing! The ring, Tready!

  • (Charming) Especially for you, Teach. Bring the toast over here, Mako. We’re hungry.

  • That’s what I’m saying. Help is relative. And, well. Protecting everybody is a pretty tall order. It’s hard to do that in just one way.

  • (Dying via spider venom) Well, you know me. I tried to charm our new friends, and I uh… think it worked a bit too well.

  • (In response to being condescended) Oh! I was just waiting for this! I was just waiting for you to know my situation better than me! Can’t have a conversation with an Angulan Blight without one!

  • (To Mako) He’s busy, Mako, you can’t rely on Tready for everything. (Quieter, to Tready) So is that...the full toast? Is that the toast you’re going to be making at my wedding? Because I have some notes.

  • (Horrified) The cloud. It’s in the cloud, isn’t it?

  • No, Professor, it has to be toast. I like to hear my bread breaking. No, no, the toast. The toast you brought for me. The toast that I requested and you remembered. Because if my bread’s not the thing crunching something’s gonna be.

  • But I’m already hungry. Why didn’t we all just pack our own separate sandwiches. Who organized this picnic - (excited) oh my god what is that?

  • (Distraught) Marv, Marv, Marv, Marv, Marv!
