Hello everyone! Agent Fluffy here and the spooky Halloweeny celebration is near.

Below are the qualifications and rules of the casting call for VAs:
Qualifications:
VAs:
1. You must be 17 years old or older to audition for this project. By submitting your audition to this project you are validating that you have met the age requirement.
2. You must have a decent or good quality microphone. (It doesn't have to be professional studio quality.)
3. I'm also looking for your ability to act as the character(s) you are auditioning for. The voice does not have to be show accurate. Your ability to act the character is most important to me.
4. I'm looking for committed, accountable and reliable VAs that will:
Review the scheduled due dates and submit your audition(s) ONLY if you can meet the scheduled due dates.
Once you have been accepted as part of the team, accountability includes:
Checking in once a week with your status on assignments.
Immediately informing me if you need help or something has happened to change your availability that would put your due dates at risk. This would enable us to work together on a resolution PRIOR to due dates.
PLEASE READ AND FOLLOW ALL THE RULES CAREFULLY BEFORE AUDITIONING!
Rules:
VAs:
1. Leave three (3) seconds of silence at the start of your audition recording BEFORE you say the audition lines of each of the character(s) you are auditioning for. This enables me to listen to your background noise and if needed to determine how much background noise I’ll need to remove during your recording.
2. You must have multiple takes in your audition so I can hear your emotional range of your voice. Three (3) takes are required.
3. I require you to send your audition files separately! (Meaning in one file and one character in each separate recording with 3 takes intact for each line, not one file for each take separately and/or doing all the characters you are auditioning for in one file! Plus I need it to be raw audio!)
4. I require your audition file(s) to be in either wav, mp3, or m4a format for audio (mp4 or wmv for YouTube auditions).
5. Send your completed audition lines to Agent0Fluffy @gmail.com (no spaces) or the Casting Call Club website, under my casting call page.
If you are sending your auditions through email, PLEASE label your audition files as such:
