Hi. I’m a cartoonist who wants to start working on their internet presence. I’m currently looking to recast the role of the male half of my mascot duo. This isn’t a role for just one project specifically, it’s a role for a multitude of projects that’ll feature the character. If you don’t think you can commit to returning to the role, sometimes months apart from one project to the next, than do not apply. These projects may range from innocuous animated shorts, to controversial mock interview/podcasts about political issues, to stories revolving around N.S.F.W. social issues. Although no project will ever be pornographic/lewd in nature, if these potential project types sound too risque for you to attach yourself to than do not apply.Keep in mind that this initially won’t be a paying role, due to these projects being released free to the public. However there is the potential for it to become a paying role if a big enough fan base forms.
I’m recasting the role due to the last actor failing to ever reply to my attempts to contact him, not due to his poor performance, so at the bottom of this post I’ve provided an unfinished clip of a now scrapped project which features him and the female mascot character. I hope it helps to convey what I’m looking for in the voice for this role. Character name,description, and audition lines will also be at the bottom of this post.
When recording for your audition submission, the format before starting your take on the character should be:1)Your name 2)”Tie audition” 3)”Scene number” 4)”Take number”.(if multiple takes are being recorded), all said in your normal speaking voice. If multiple takes are are being submitted, combine them into one file. Slight improvisation to help lines come out more naturally for you is allowed. Excepted file types are Mp3 and Wav, with your name or preferred online handle as the files name. Submissions with no background or white noise will be prioritized. If applicable, a copy of your character demo reel or a link to your previous work would be appreciated for future role consideration. Auditions and/or questions should be sent to re_am_rez@yahoo.com for the fastest response.
Deadline is 10/09/19 12:00 am eastern daylight time.
