Auditions: Friday, June 3, 2011

This page contains auditions posted on Friday, June 3, 2011.

This week's topic of discussion is quick and simple. What
sets Seattle apart from other cities? How do you think the Seattle film and acting community is different from LA, Portland, New York, and Chicago?

Give some feedback in the chat box on what you think makes Seattle unique.

As always, if you are a fan of the blog, please share this with actor friends. If you have any feedback for me on how to improve my blog, share this with me so that I may work on improving the blog.

Thanks.

CASTING CALL - Fire Child

(You must visit http://www.dwad.net/castingcall.html for complete details. We
have presented most of the information below, but audition sides as well as some
additional details are at the above link.)

The Doctor Who Audio Dramas
Casting Call

SegalChord Productions is a group of professional, semi-professional, and
amateur actors locaed in Fremont, CA, who have been making The Doctor Who Audio
Dramas since 1982. These productions are downloaded for free over the internet.
We average thousands of episodes downloaded each month. If you want to get your
voice heard, this is the place to do it.

We are currently holding an open casting call for voice actors for our next
production, Fire Child, a three episode audio drama.

10DWA180

Something is happening to Billy Samison. Ever since his father came back for a
visit from Iraq, the boy has been hearing a voice in his head. It's slowly
taking him over, and he has been doing terrible things. Buildings and people
burn, and Billy is at the centre of it all.

The Doctor and Robbie must find out who or what is taking over Billy before it
comes to full strength, devours everything around it, and starts the cycle all
over again!

Audition guidelines:

Auditions shall be submitted either as a high-quality mp3 file which we will
download from your web space or sent to us through e-mail. Submit auditions to
dwad@onepost.net. Please label your e-mail subject line as "DOCTOR WHO CASTING
CALL". Please use that exact subject line. We use a very aggressive spam filter
and sometimes it discards things it shouldn't. Labeling your subject properly
will help us find your e-mail. If your e-mail is actually bounced by our spam
filter (very rare, but it happens), please post a note on our message board at
http://www.dwad.net/phpBB3 and we'll be certain to contact you.

You must have a good quality microphone and a good sound card. Record one second
of silence with the microphone turned on before beginning your lines (for noise
reduction purposes). Files are to be submitted in mp3 format, 16-bit, 44100 Hz,
128 Kbps, mono, or as close as you can get to that. We try to be as flexible as
possible. If your software doesn't have those exact parameters, choose a higher
quality rather than a lower one. If you have any questions regarding how to do
any of this, please do not hesitate to ask. We know a lot of people are
unfamiliar with this aspect of their computers, and we are willing to help.

Please label your audition file as " - .mp3" so we
can easily figure out who belongs to what.

Be sure to "audition" your own recordings before sending them in. Many auditions
are being sent back because of technical problems. (Distortion, very loud
background noise, and echo are the three biggest problems.) By listening to your
own sound files, you can find and correct these problems before sending them in.
For some basic help in avoiding some of the more common problems, please visit
out technical page at http://www.dwad.net/technical.html.

Those selected will be required to record their lines using their own equipment
and submit them by a deadline, as well as be available to quickly re-record any
lines deemed necessary by the director. Please do not audition if you are not
able to meet this commitment. Most personal computers today are very capable of
recording very good quality sound files, so there is no need for anyone to be
using an expensive studio anymore except for very high-end productions.

Very important: Please let us know where you found your casting call notice. Our
casting notices are proliferated to numerous agencies and often they are edited
without our knowledge or permission. Telling us where you found our casting
notice will help us to know if you have all the information or not.

Please note that we acknowledge all auditions and everyone who auditioned will
be told whether they got the role or not. (Being actors ourselves, we always
hated being kept in limbo.) So if your audition isn't acknowledged, something
happened and we didn't receive it. If we've received your audition and you still
haven't received an e-mail telling you the results, you're still in the running.
If more than one week has gone by since auditions closed, you should have had an
answer by then. If not, please don't hesitate to ask. It doesn't bother us, and
sometimes it's true that some internet black hole eats e-mail messages.

If you have any questions, please send an e-mail to dwad@onepost.net. We will be
happy to assist you.

Thank you for your interest in The Doctor Who Audio Dramas. Auditioning is not
hard. Even if you suffer from the worst stage fright, we'll help you get over
it. Remember, part of our mission is to teach, to give people the opportunity to
learn. We especially like people who are new or nearly new or who have been
typecast. We will give new actors the chance to develop their skills as well as
typecast actors the opportunity to break out of the mould.

We look forward to working with you!

The following are the open roles for Fire Child. Gender is indicated if a
specific gender is required, otherwise the role is gender neutral and anyone can
audition for that role. Numbers in parenthesis indicate the number of lines the
character has. The middle column are the lines to be read for the audition.
Please read only your lines. Additional lines are provided for context.

In the case of child characters (both male as well as female), females should
consider auditioning for these types of roles as well. Females have the ability
to sound pre-pubesent no matter what their age, and many male child characters
are voiced by females in animation.

We do offer a small amount of pay for most of these roles. Payment is offered so
that actors may list this production on their resume as a Professional Role
rather than an amateur one. Professional roles look much better to casting
directors, so every line on the resume helps. We wish we could pay more, but we
don't charge any money for these stories, so we lose a ton of money on each
production. But we love what we do, so here we are.

Voice actors who have multiple voices in their repertoire are encouraged to give
a sample of each in addition to their audition. We may offer you multiple roles
if your voices are identifiably different from each other.

American accents are required for all roles in this story except as noted.

Sometimes there are several unlisted roles which have only a couple of lines.
For those chosen, we may assign you one of these small characters to play as
well. Welcome to the world of voice acting!

Audition closes: Monday, June 6, 2011
Lines will be due Tuesday, July 5, 2011
Expected completion date: August 2011

Reply to: If anyone has any questions, please do not hesitate in the slightest to ask.
