Tenacious Season One - Sims 4 Machinima

Project Overview

CASTING CALL VIDEO HERE

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zoVCrYn6nWM

This is a casting call for an original Sims 4 Machinima project! This project is going to be long term, so definitely prepare for that if you want to participate. I have about three or so seasons planned out! If it's suitable for everyone it's possible we could add more. Before I even begin, TW for this series. It will feature references to mental health issues, drug abuse, domestic abuse, LGBTQ+ acceptance, religious indoctrination, and death. If any of these make you uncomfortable I would advice you to avoid being in or watching this series. Tenacious is about the mental spiral of a young man in high school named Warren after going through something traumatic. In this season, we will see the build up to this event that will change him forever.

Rules:

Have a clear microphone! Obviously it doesn't have to be perfect, but definitely clear enough to understand you. Preferably little to no background noise.

Run through every line at LEAST 3 times, and by all means if you want to improvise or change a line up a bit, absolutely go for it! Improv is encouraged!

If you have it, please send me your Discord if you are chosen for the role. This will be a key way to communicate with me other than email or Twitter.
