Zane: The Demon Prince
Project Overview
Zane felt that there was nothing he could to control the demon inside him. He didn't know if he could ever find peace...until he met Melody.
Melody has been through a lot but she never stops being optimistic. When she meets Zane, she shows him how to be happy. Unfortunately, not everyone sees it that way.
No matter how much Melody believes in Zane, when he tries to be a hero, people see him as a monster. This causes him to lose control of his dark powers and provides an opportunity for an evil demon from Zane's past to use him to complete an ancient prophecy.
Can Melody convince Zane that he is an angel instead of a human, or will darkness consume them both, and the world, forever?

I have not had many responses for auditions for my story, "Zane: The Demon Prince. I am extending the deadline needed for auditions so I have enough time to find voice actors for the characters. Then, later in July I will start recruiting animators and music makers/producers to turn the story into an animated web series. If you are interested in auditioning, or even would like to create the animation or music down the road, send me a private message. Here is a link to my CCC page about the story an a link to the Google Doc of the story (most of the characters' lines are color coded). https://www.castingcall.club/projects/zane-the-demon-prince https://docs.google.com/document/d/1OfRtFhdeX1-kbVUPRGO6pELmlOk3x6wc7LBCBaIOvaE/edit
