San Dalston is an American/Canadian animated film co-produced in Wrapper Offline by StudioMew Media Group, Wild Animation Network, and GoMultiverseLegacy394. My first GoAnimate project since July 2016 and will be released on YouTube in Late 2022. This will be unlike any GoAnimate film ever made. We are going to push Wrapper Offline to its absolute limit
The plot of the film is that it is about three boys named Dallas, Houston, and Antonio who all go to San Dalston Middle School. But then, two boys named Laredo and Amarillo devise a plot to destroy San Dalston by stopping the Earth’s rotation, while Dallas also goes through some emotional turmoil about something that happened in his childhood and does not want to cause harm.
Ok, that is the basics of the plot. Now for the casting information.
Just a heads up
Before I continue on, I just wanna give y'all a heads up. There will be explicit language used throughout the movie. So please consider your comfortability with that before auditioning. Not every character is going to cuss, but the majority of the characters, especially the lead and supporting roles, will cuss.
This is for fun
These are NOT paid roles. This entire project is for fun and to show off how far you push GoAnimate, or in our case, Wrapper Offline. Nobody is getting paid for their involvement in this production. In fact, we do not plan to make any money off this project. Two of us are college students and are doing this on our own time. Like seriously, this is an independently produced low-budget GoAnimate movie, NOT a frickin Pixar production
Mic requirements
Please have a decent quality mic if you get casted. Although I am fine with any mic for the casting call, I will be requiring a decent quality mic for the movie itself.
For me, I use the Elgato Wave 3 microphone (https://www.elgato.com/en/wave-3), which is one of the best microphones on the market. But I'm not saying to get this particular mic. The Wave 3 may be a good mic, but it cost around $160. Assuming you don't want to spend that much, I recommend picking up the Blue Snowball iCE Microphone, which is only $40 on Amazon.

Antonio is the best friend of the main characters Dallas and Houston. He is a lead role and is the more serious out of the trio. He cares a lot about his friends, and the city he lives in.
[Happy] Hello there Dallas, how is going today? [Serious] Uh, Dallas? Are you ok? [Concerned] You don't look too well.
[Angry/Serious/Energenic] We need to stop these guys from burning our city. We MUST go to them. We don't know their names, or who they are in general. But we need to track them down, and once we do, WE ARE GOING TO KICK SOME SERIOUS ASS!!
You may stop after the 2nd line, but feel free to freestyle here if you want to. :)
Laredo is the main villain of San Dalston. He, along with his younger brother Amarillo has been in hiding for 15 years and has the plot to burn San Dalston by stopping the earth's rotation.
(Notice: This is a Unisex role, meaning that anyone can get the part, regardless of nationality, race, gender, etc.)
[Angry] Amarillo, we've been in this damn forest for 15 years. YOU KNOW WHY THEY'RE GONNA COME FOR US!!!
[Serious] Bro, if they haven't forgotten 15 years later, they probably never will. However, I have a plan. I found this last night, our father owns a piece of land in Texas.
[Annoyed] Honestly, I wish I knew why this was hidden from us. [Serious] However, we leave tomorrow morning. It is going to be a long journey, but it is going to be better than where we are now.
Amarillo is the younger brother of Laredo. Along with his brother, he wants to destroy San Dalston by stopping the rotation of the earth
[Confused/Upset] Wh~ Why have we never left this forest? Why have I lived in this same place my whole life? [Concerned] Laredo, they've probably forgotten by now, we can't hide here forever. [Confused]
[Concerned] Laredo, they've probably forgotten by now, we can't hide here forever. [Angry] WAIT, THERE WAS LAND OWNED BY DAD!? WHY THE HELL DID THEY KEEP THIS FROM US!? Ugh
[Hopeful] Yeah, hopefully, it will be better. Let's get on with our new lives.
Officer Lubbock is the Chief of Police of the San Dalston Police Department
(Update: For this role, we feel like the character should have a deep voice)
[Angry] What the hell is going on in this city? [Serious] There are reports of kidnappings all around the city. Nobody knows who is behind them.
[Serious] I've been in contact with Mayor Waco for the past 2 days, there is little evidence of who is behind the damn kidnappings. But one thing for sure, THESE BASTARDS ARE GOING DOWN!!
You may stop after the 2nd line, but feel free to freestyle here if you want to. :)
Officer Austin is a police officer for the San Dalston Police Department.
[Serious/Angry]
FREEZE! You are surrounded, there is no chance of escape. You are under arrest.
[Serious]
You have the right to remain silent, anything you say will be used against you in the court of law. You have the right to an attorney, if you can't afford one, one will be provided for you.
You may stop after the 2nd line, but feel free to freestyle here if you want to. :)
If you can't decide who you want to audition for, or simply just want a minor and/or background role, just submit your demo reel and if chosen and casted, will have a character assigned at random.
For this, you just submit your demo reel.

DEMO OUTLINE:
Rewrite this scene from our previous project, Kristin Konkle: in Space
PC Guy has to return to earth to stop New Villian from blowing up an entire city. In order to get back to earth quickly, Kristin and her crew need to use a boost rock or battery. Once they return to earth, PC Guy volunteers and jumps out of the ship to stop New Villian by turning her off. New Villian is then launched into Jail, and Kristin and her crew are awarded for their actions.
Here is the scene from Kristin Konkle: in Space for reference: https://youtu.be/uRANxN9oQoc?t=2312
All scripts can be sent via Google Docs, .docx, or .pdf, although we highly recommend sending it as Google Docs since that is what we are using to write the movie.
Also, keep in mind that San Dalston is intended to be more PG-13 when writing the script
Good luck to everyone auditioning, the deadline is on December 19th. (Don't forget to join the Discord server)

Zara Dawson is a villain from the Kristin Konkle movie series. This Zara is separate from the Zara typically used in GoAnimate, and will be making a significant role in San Dalston. For the audition, I have picked a few lines from the old Kristin Konkle movies as well as some lines from our friend GML394's movie, Zack The Movie: The Vengeance of Derek. We want you to reenact those lines from those movies.
Act out these Zara lines from our friend GML394's film, Zack The Movie: The Vegengance of Derek
(Angry/serious) "I think it'll be best if you do as they say right now, you're going to get shot immediately if you try to make a move"
(Happy) "Yup, a whole 2 hours in the making. I even took a photo of it after finishing the design. I'll send it to you later"
(Natural) "That's true, it may have been due to the destruction of a chemical plant that spread radiation by the hundreds." (Annoyed) "Why would anyone come into a city that has been contaminated for 40 years and settle in an abandoned building? It makes no sense to me"
Act out these scenes from our Kristin Konkle movie series (Note: These lines have been modified from their original versions):
(Evil/Serious) "I'm Zara, and I ran away from home because I controlled the UFOS in an attempt to destroy Freedom City and RULE THE WORLD!!"
(Angry) "NO! How could Brendan betray us like that? I must tell the others"
(Shocked) "Well, there goes our only transportation to the Blue Moon Galaxies."
