WARNING:
The following fanfic reading is for MATURE AUDIENCES ONLY! It contains mature subjects such as grief, death of loved ones, discrimination, alcoholism and gore.

Hey everyone! Agent Fluffy here! I’m doing a fanfic reading of a fic called The Legend of Spike: Discord’s Mask written by DiabloGuapo! It’s a multichapter crossover based off of The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask. It’s about Spike trying to save Trotina (the MLP version of Termina) and Clock Town from the incoming apocalypse. Because the entire fanfic itself has 51 characters to audition for, I decided to split it into 6 different casting calls. This one covers chapters 17-22.
This is the final and last casting call of the whole production!
This will also be the casting call for 2 people to get the same role. One is the main VA and the other is the understudy.
By the way, this is an unpaid project.
There are some roles available but first, let’s go over the qualifications and rules before sharing what VA roles I need.
Due Dates for Lines (if you are chosen):
Chapter 17: May 26th, 2023
Chapter 18: June 28th, 2023
Chapter 19: July 28th, 2023
Chapter 20 (Month of Macabre 2023): August 23rd, 2023
Chapter 21: November 6th, 2023
Chapter 22: December 2nd, 2023
Please submit auditions ONLY if you know that if you are chosen you will need to meet these due dates.

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.
READ 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. No more, no less.
3. I require you to send your audition files separately! (Meaning in one file and one character in each of your audition recordings with 3 takes intact for each line (Line 1 3 times, Line 2 3 times, and Line 3 3 times in that order), 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. MAKE SURE your microphone is NOT PEAKING in your auditions! I don’t want to have my ears hurt when I listen to your auditions!
6. Send your completed audition lines to [redacted] 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:
TLOSDM_Character Role Name_Your Username
Example:
TLOSDM_Adult Princess Luna_Agent0Fluffy
The email subject name MUST BE LABELED as:

Failure to follow these rules will result in your audition(s) to not be considered!
