The casting is complete for now
Thank you to everyone who auditioned! That's all we need for now. But there will be a part 3 to casting for this project, so look out for that if you would still like to audition.
Star Wars Audio Comics is excited to announce that we are continuing our most ambitious project to date: a six-episode adaptation of the epic 34-issue comic crossover event War of the Bounty Hunters! We’re back after a long hiatus on this project!
For this casting call, we are gathering the remaining lines needed to finish the first part of the project. Note that most of these roles are extras or very small roles. For the smaller roles, all lines for the character are included here, so if you are chosen to voice one of them, we will likely not need any further recording from you. The characters that will require more lines than what is listed include the ones with 6 or more lines, such as Jabba the Hutt and Bokku the Hutt.
How it Works: Our typical policy is we don't cast actors until the last day of the casting call so everyone has plenty of time to audition. Our CC's typically last 2-3 weeks. At the end of the CC process, the Series Directors will make the casting decisions based on a variety of factors such as audio quality, performance, vocal range, talent, etc. Once the casting decisions have been made, we send a link for a private Discord server where you will find your scripts, submit your lines, and meet and mingle with your fellow castmates. Deadlines will be posted for line submissions to allow voice actors time to first takes and if requested, retakes. From there it is up to the Directors to bring the video to life. Production time will be as airtight as possible, so please try to have your audio in as quickly as possible so production can begin.
The Synopsis:The notorious bounty hunter Boba Fett has finally landed his greatest prize – Han Solo, frozen in carbonite for easy transport. Fett will bring the smuggler to Tatooine to collect the massive bounty placed on Solo's head by the fearsome crime lord Jabba the Hutt. Unfortunately for Fett, other parties have their eyes on his prize, and soon Solo will be the target of Imperials, rebels, and criminal operators from across the galaxy, all while Fett finds out what it's like to be on the other side of a bounty hunt.
Directors: Robert A., Daniel P., and Gilbert S.
Ground rules:
- There are numerous LGBTQ+ characters in this series, as well as on the production team. If you are at all homophobic/transphobic, DON'T AUDITION.
- Please be able to get your lines in by the deadline posted by the director. Production time will be airtight!
- Have professional grade equipment or at the bare minimum make sure your audio is top notch. No background noise!
- Have a Discord or be able to create one. This allows for us to communicate and upload documents much easier than Skype or any other platform.
- Lastly, enjoy yourselves!
We look forward to hearing your performances!
We pay at a rate of $0.50 per line of dialogue, plus a base pay of $5.00. The payment for each role is listed in the roles' descriptions.
