TAAAM: An Unofficial Live Reading
Project Overview
This is an unofficial reading of Turnabout: An Ace Attorney Musical by The Maya Fey Protection Squad and Nerdification Media. The show is based off the game "Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney" by Capcom and Shu Takumi and "Turnabout Musical" by PW Musical Productions. This is a semi-live reading of the show, with the exception being the musical numbers which will be pre-recorded for quality's sake. Casting for this reading will heavily rely on variety of voice and experience with the cast varying from those who've just started their acting and singing journey to those who are deep into their careers. We encourage those of all experience levels to try out for the roles listed in the casting call. If you are auditioning for a role with no audition lines, please submit a small snippet of you singing. It can range from singing the ABCs to singing Music of the Night from Phantom of the Opera. Court is in Session!
