The Starborn Collective - Season 2 Casting/Hiring

The Starborn Collective - Season 2 Casting/Hiring

Project Overview

What is The Starborn Collective?

The Starborn Collective is a collection of three audio dramas - Two initial ones, titled Infested and Subliminals, and then Starborn, a sequel that voice actors from this wave will also be involved in. It will be produced by me, amidst a team of assistants who will be helping to produce it. Season 1 is currently in the depths of production with multiple episodes fully completed, and Season 2 is now fully written, so we are now ready to cast for the second season! 

Requirements:

Everyone on this team is relatively new and inexperienced, so we try to hold ourselves to the same standard that we hold any auditioning voice actors. You do not need to have a professional setup, however having a microphone that can record in good quality and having access to Discord is key to being able to partake in this project. A link to the public Discord server we have created can be found later in this description.

Please note: We WILL NOT be hiring minors. 

Payment:

Unfortunately, this project is pay-free for the foreseeable future. This is a passion project at the moment that we hope to gain traction on in the future, but it is not currently in our budget to provide payment as we are all young and aspiring creators. Of course, this is subject to change in the distant future if all goes well but is a consideration for the distant future.

Role Significance:

Some voice actors will have to fulfil greater expectations than others depending on the importance of the character that they voice. For example, being in a leading role for this project means that you will likely be interacting with myself and the other producers frequently, so it is good not to have an aversion to social interaction and becoming acquainted with us as a staff team and a community.


Along with this, this show has multiple seasons planned out, and will be a multi-year time commitment. Please keep that in mind when auditioning. We are flexible with deadlines, but need our staff to be available as needed.

Relationships:

Most characters in this show are LGBTQ+ and end up in relationships that are also LGBTQ+. If you aren’t comfortable with portraying that, it’s best not to audition! Thank you!

Note: There are no NSFW scenes in this show.

ADDITIONAL NOTES:

Please submit all three lines as one file, for our convenience! If we ask for a portfolio, please include that either as a comment on your audition, or in the description of your audition.


The Starborn Collective team does not support the usage of Generative AI in any capacity. If your audition, portfolio, or profiles contain Generative AI we will not be considering you for any position.


Many of these voice roles have lots of intense moments, and may require screaming, general loudness, etc. If you are unable to commit to that, please reconsider auditioning.


Here is the link to the discord server in which you can meet and talk to myself, other members of the production team, and community members if you just wish to be a part of the ride! https://discord.gg/jkytwXFWUV


Deadline: Auditions for this wave will be officially closing at 11:59 PM EST on November 15th, 2026. 

Latest Updates

  • New Roles + Emphasis on Boundaries

    Hello there, everyone!! We're so grateful for all of the support we've gotten on this listing, and are so glad you all are so interested in this project! I'd just like to emphasize a few important points, and inform you all about the two new roles we've put up!

    First things first, as stated, we've got two new roles posted - These roles are Dr. Bailey and Vespa - Dr. Bailey is a masculine adult role, and Vespa is feminine adult role. Along with this, Dr. Bailey is an urgent Season 1 recast - if you're cast, you'll be put to work pretty soon after we bring you onto the team!

    On a less exciting note, we'd like to emphasize a couple important boundaries for those of you who haven't put auditions in yet. First things first, we will not be casting minors. This is for the safety of both everyone on our staff team, and the safety of everyone auditioning. There are no exceptions.

    Finally, we will also not be casting anyone who has an AI-generated profile picture, or uses generative AI at all, as we have mentioned previously. The Starborn Collective is firmly anti-generative-AI, and will not budge on that topic. If you audition with anything AI generated on your profile, your audition will be immediately rejected. There are no exceptions. Thank you for understanding.

    Again, thank you so much for all of your support on this project!! We appreciate it more than words can say, and can't wait to hear any more auditions you all have to put in!!

They will become a very active and important character in later seasons of the show, so if you audition for them, please be ready for a major commitment!
