Hey everyone! I am opening up casting for our indie animation project: The Hungry Moon, which will release later this year. The team is so excited and we can't wait to cast some amazing actors!
The Hungry Moon is a standalone animated episode, with the potential for more in the future. It is a horror project aiming for a young adult audience.
We are asking for a tight turnaround, with auditions closing on Sunday 8/30 at Midnight. So please, if you are interested, make sure to get those auditions in quickly! The chosen actors will be notified by 8/31 at the latest. Recording will take place on either 9/1, 9/2 or 9/3, depending on the chosen actors' availability. Exact timing will be worked out with me prior to recording. Please do NOT audition if you are going to be unable to record on any of these dates!
We will record in our project discord channel. As a result, having a discord account is mandatory. Please make sure to include your discord username with your audition. I know. Another discord server? Do not worry; this project has a script, a team, and a schedule. This is not our first rodeo and I'm aiming to make this as quick and painless as possible.
I would also love to see your range so that I can keep you in mind for future projects. Please link your website and/or socials with an easily accessible demo along with your audition.
In addition to outstanding acting ability, audio quality is paramount. Please do not audition unless you are sure that your equipment and recording space are high quality. If you submit an audition with sub-par audio quality, it will be immediately thrown out, regardless of acting ability. Please do not waste your own time and mine. If cast, you will be expected to have a DAW, know how to use it, and record your high quality audio on your own end in wav format. No post-production on your part will be necessary, as our editors will be handling that themselves.
The lead roles have 40-50 lines total. The minor roles have 10-20 lines.
Thank you so much for making it this far! If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask! I wish you all the best of luck and am excited to hear what you come up with!
Artists: We have a team of artists and animators already and do not have openings. Apologies, I'm sure you're very talented, but please do not DM or email me your portfolio.
Thank you everyone for your interest in this project. After long deliberation, the roles have all been cast with an incredible group of actors. There were many, many wonderful options to choose from and I am so appreciative to everyone who took the time to audition.
Thank you!

Hey everybody! I really appreciate you all taking the time to put yourselves out there and audition. Blown away by the number of auditions we received. I know in my original listing I said people would know by 8/31 at the latest, but that will not be the case. It will likely spill over into 9/1 or 9/2, and we will adjust the recording times respectively.
I will be utilizing the CCC functions of shortlisting and dismissing in order to cast these in a timely manner. Please do not be discouraged if your audition gets dismissed. You might not have been the right fit for these exact roles, but if you linked a demo I will be sure to check it out eventually and keep you in mind for future projects.
Thanks again, everyone!
Voice Actor
Lead Role. David Clayton is a 33 year old male from rural Texas. He finds solace in nature, and after moving all around the country for the National Park Service, he’s since lost his Southern twang. Stern yet empathetic, David strives to be a protector of those who can’t protect themselves.
[Reassuring] I'm David Clayton. I'm with the National Park Service. I'm here to help, so why don't you tell me what's going on?
[Shouting] What the hell is that thing?! Millie - watch out!
[Annoyed, but likeable] You've gotta be kidding me. Look, I don't believe in fairy tales. Whatever this thing is, there's got to be a rational explanation.
Voice Actor
Lead Role. Millie Harper is a female 22 year old that’s determined to prove her belief in the supernatural real. Her more than tragic life has created a tough exterior that is at odds with her kind heart. Confident yet out of her depth, Millie strives to prove herself.
[Friendly] Heh, sorry about that. I guess I should have introduced myself, huh? I'm Millie. And I'm your best hope of getting out of this alive.
[Shouting] Clayton! Get out of there! It's right behind you!
[Argumentative] I'm telling you - it's true! There are forces in this world that go beyond anything we've ever dreamed of! You just have to open your mind!
Voice Actor
Minor Role. The Detective is a generally unpleasant individual. He's comfortable in his role and, at this point in his career, he's seen everything. That said, his limits are tested when faced with the truly supernatural.
[Annoyed] Look who finally decided to show up. What happened? You get lost in the woods?
[Disgusted] Yuck... this guy's seen better days. From the amount of decomp, I'd say he's been left out here a while.
[Screaming] Aghhhh!!! *death*
Voice Actor
Minor Role. The Fisherman enjoys his simple life with his only companion: a dog named Goldie. A simple man, he spends his nights fishing and drinking on his boat.
[Slightly Drunk] What's the matter, girl? You smell a deer?
[Slightly Drunk] Oh, come on. *sigh* It's always something.
[Yelling] Aghhh!! What the hell is that?!
