AGE: You can be any age to audition! There are no requirements.
EXPERIENCE: You don't need to have any experience to audition, just put a lot of emotion into your audition!
SOUND QUALITY: Please have good sound quality! If headphones work for you, that's fine, but I would recommend having a proper mic. If you need to, you can use an app to reduce background noises, but it's not necessary. And please don't use a voice changer!
ROLES: You can audition for multiple roles, but know that you will most likely only get picked for one if you are cast. You will be notified if you are cast by 25th August. You may also be requested to voice as an extra in the series (you will still be credited for this).
- VAs will have 1 week to complete their lines for the first episode (less time would be appreciated, or if you need more time, just ask!)
Everyone involved will be credited in the credits and video description of each episode.
