What is Shane vs Jah REALLY? Plus, New Roles!
Hey everyone, I'm blown away by the amount of auditions I've received and thoroughly appreciate you all! Due to this, I'd like to expand on what exactly you're auditioning for so you know what you're getting into and what you may be encouraged to do that you've yet to try out.
Shane vs Jah is a series I started on YouTube in 2019 as a joke, but later fell in love with and branched out into its own original universe. While Shane vs Jah is the web that connects them all, with most characters appearing there first or more prominently, many of them have screen time in spin-off films (both short and feature length) as either prominent or cameo-type roles. Most the scripts are in their final draft stages, hence why they've been grouped together as one project. If casted and sent your scripts, do not be alarmed to see titles like 'Requital of the Necromancers' and 'Genesis of The Green Guardian' as those films connect directly to the series and act as stepping stones between seasons. While I'm fairly lenient when it comes to deadlines for lines, I understand this may be too large of a commitment for people and wanted to make that clearer for those that may effect. The descriptions have also been updated to list the scripts the characters currently appear in.
Imagine this as joining a bite sized cinematic universe, but don't forget to have FUN. I am over the moon with the auditions I've gotten, but at the core of Shane vs Jah is a lot of situational humor taken with a straight face by our characters and we thrive with over the top voices for side characters. The world is populated with aliens and mutated creatures that most roles have some sort of unnatural element to them that enhances a more stylized performance in a more realistic art style. I've added even more roles from more recent scripts, such as the fifth season of Shane vs Jah as the current draft is going far quicker than anticipated.
PS, do not be afraid to audition for multiple roles as you can be CAST as multiple roles. I myself have played a ton of secondary and lead roles throughout the series, and I've cast many people as two to three as well. I absolutely love the wacky ways you can manipulate your voice so don't shy away from bringing it to the light. Thank you for your time, if you've read it this far I really appreciate your interest in the project and if you have any questions at all I'd be thrilled to discuss them with you!
