The Muppet Show 2026 Full Fandub
Project Overview
♡ My name is Penelope, or Pen for short, and I am your director and editor for this project! I have been a voice actor, director, editor, and screenwriter for voiceover content since about age 13 back in the 2010s (I am now 29 and studied film in college). Creating content like this is my passion. I'm a daycare teacher by day, voiceover content creator by night. My channel on YT is PenelopeHawthorn.TV.
♡ With your help, I would like to produce a full fandub of The Muppet Show's 30 min TV Special with Sabrina Carpenter from 2026! This is a musical production, so a lot of the roles will require singing in your audition - but not all of them!
♡ As an admirer of the work of Jim Henson, I adore the Muppets, and would love to see them have new life breathed into them in this fandub production. I also love Carpenter's recent works, and look forward to hearing your take on her music! I am truly hoping that this will be a really fun production for everyone involved!!
♡ I will be casting on the listing's deadline, so everyone has a month from this casting call being posted to submit auditions! I will be shortlisting and denying submissions as I receive them, but a final casting decision won't be made until the deadline.
FAQ:
♡ Can I audition for multiple roles?
Absolutely! In fact, it's encouraged! We have a big cast to fill out
♡ How will this be organized?
Through a Discord server! Having a Discord account is a requirement for casting.
♡ When are my lines gonna be due?
November 30th is the goal!
♡ What if I can’t make the deadline for submission?
The deadline can be extended, if circumstances beyond your control are affecting your ability to get your lines in by November. Please message me privately if you need more time. If production is struggling to meet the November deadline, we'll extend it to a later release date.
♡ What format should I use when submitting my lines?
Mp3 preferred. Wav also works! Mp4 is not preferred but can be accepted if necessary.
♡ Should I do multiple takes?
2 takes minimum; 4 takes maximum, please! After you record, if I need any retakes, I will contact you!
♡ Would you prefer lines in one file or an individual file for each line?
I would prefer an INDIVIDUAL file for each SCENE, please!
♡ Do I need to match the mouth flaps of the characters?
To the best of your ability, but do not stress about this on your first takes please - I will ask for retakes if I need the pacing different to line up properly. I want you to focus more on your performance than pacing, and let me worry about the pacing in editing.
★ When is this gonna be ready?
I'm aiming for a New Years Eve release date, but this might change depending on when I get all the lines submitted and how editing goes. I will update you on the release date as we get closer to the wrap on production!
