IMPORTANT LANGUAGE NOTE (>>PLEASE READ<<): 

• Spanish and/or Samoan speakers will be preferred for casting.
• The audition lines below are a phenetic layout of the dialogue in Xanjiri. 
• To help better acclimate you to what the audition lines actually mean, below is the direct translations of these each line in English, Spanish and Samoan. We still want the emotion in the lines to resonate and be clear in the performance, so we hope they can be useful as reference.
•  Xanjiri is a language we're developing along with this project. If it currently proves too difficult for you to read, you can alternatively audition in English, Spanish or Samoan. Whatever feels the most comfortable for you. 
• In your submission, please be sure to clarify which language you chose in your audition. 
• If you are casted, please be prepared to perform in Xanjiri

  If any clarification is needed, or if you notice any errors on my part, please feel free to message me!
