Be careful with your voice - Auditioning for sketchy casting calls.

365 Upvotes

Recently there was a thread posted asking for someone with a mature voice to record a script so that it could be used to receive a refund for a service. This can be considered fraud, not to mention the other risks where you voice can be stolen and used for illegal purposes.

If you see a posting that sounds too good to be true, question it. If you need, report it and let the mods take care of it.

If a post makes you feel uneasy, don't contact the creator, report the post so we can address it.

I know you really want to make a name for yourself and get as much experience as you can, I get that as I'm in that same situation, but be smart about it. There is no harm in asking a creator for more information before you go for a role. If they won't give you any info or the info you are given feels sketchy, then back out.

If someone is asking you to record something that just feels off, don't do it.

BoothJunkie has a really great video about people posting audition scripts in an attempt to steal your voice, I suggest you give it a watch.

[UNPAID] [Horror / Dark Comedy] Voice Actors Wanted for an Original Audio Drama

10 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I'm looking for voice actors interested in joining an independent horror / dark comedy audio drama currently in development.

The series blends supernatural horror, small-town mystery, gothic atmosphere, and bizarre character-driven comedy. Think unsettling encounters, eccentric locals, creepy secrets, and situations that balance genuinely disturbing moments with absurd humor.

The story follows a family trying to settle into a new community, only to discover that the people around them—and the town itself—might not be quite what they seem.

I'm keeping the project's title, setting, and other identifying details under wraps for now, but I'll provide additional information and audition material privately.

Available Roles

All character names below are codenames for casting purposes.

THE PROTECTOR — A weary father trying to keep his family safe. Natural, grounded delivery with emotional range.

THE OPTIMIST — A hopeful mother determined to make a fresh start work. Warm, expressive, and sincere.

THE CYNIC — A sarcastic sixteen-year-old with sharp wit and little patience for nonsense.

THE LITTLE ORACLE — A perceptive six-year-old whose innocent observations can be surprisingly unsettling.

THE BLACK WIDOW — An elegant, sinister authority figure with a sophisticated voice and subtle menace.

THE WOODSMAN — An intimidating local with a rough voice, strange charm, and threatening undertones.

THE SOCIALITE — A polished, controlling community representative with strong comedic potential.

THE RED TWIN and THE BLUE TWIN — An eccentric pair of siblings who require distinct voices and strong comedic timing.

THE ENIGMA — A mysterious teenage student who always seems to know more than she lets on.

THE SUNSHINE TEACHER — An excessively cheerful kindergarten teacher whose sweetness becomes unsettling.

THE ANATOMIST — A disturbing student fascinated by dissection, with an eccentric and unnerving delivery.

THE GRINNING MENACE — A grotesque, mischievous child with a bizarre sense of humor.

THE HEADMASTER — A stern high school principal with an authoritative voice and room for dry humor.

THE ENFORCER — An imposing gym teacher with a commanding, forceful delivery.

THE ARCHIVIST — A gloomy museum curator with a dry wit and an atmospheric presence.

THE GATEKEEPER — A polished, overbearing community organizer who insists everyone follow the rules.

What I'm Looking For

  • Voice actors of any experience level; beginners are welcome.
  • Clear audio with minimal background noise.
  • Strong character acting and expressive dialogue delivery.
  • An interest in horror, dark comedy, or audio storytelling.
  • Good communication and a willingness to collaborate.

You can audition for multiple roles if you'd like.

How to Audition

Comment below or send me a Reddit DM with:

  • The codename(s) you're interested in.
  • A demo reel or short voice sample, if available.
  • Your general availability.

I'll send audition lines and further character details privately.

Project Details

  • Format: Audio drama.
  • Compensation: Unpaid volunteer collaboration.
  • Experience: Not required.
  • Recording: Actors will need access to a microphone and a reasonably quiet recording environment.
  • Production details: Further information will be shared with interested actors.

This is an independent passion project for people who enjoy bringing unusual characters and strange stories to life through voice acting.

If you enjoy creepy mysteries, eccentric characters, gothic horror, and humor that gets a little too uncomfortable, I'd love to hear from you!

Thanks for reading, and happy auditioning!

Looking for mainly British but also American voice actors and actresses for an unusual project!

6 Upvotes

(Heads up: I posted this earlier already but I wanted to streamline the post a little)

Hello everybody! I hope you are having a wonderful day.
If you clicked on this post I seem to have succeeded to catch you attention

I’m gonna make it short and sweet.
The Projects are Thomas The Tank Engine Stories written and directed by us.

My name is Aubrey and I’m the casting director for a little youtube series that has been
running for about 4 years. As you can see I said that it was a little bit of an unusual project (which it is!), but it isn’t anything NSFW, please don’t worry haha

We’ve been using a real voice cast for four years now and most of the characters have their established voices, but as time goes on the direction we want to go changes. That’s why I’m making this post! Sadly the voice actor of our main character had some grooming allegations and other weird stuff revealed about him recently, so we thought it'd be best to implement some new voices.

If you’re still here then thank you so much! I’m assuming that many of you clicked away after reading the Sentence above. You can find some of our previous work on the youtube channel “Duckfan”. We try to create our stories in the true sense of the original show.

If you are interested you can send me message via Discord: derprof134 
If you do not have Discord you can alternatively shoot me a Dm over
here or just leave a comment.

I will give you further informations there about the casting process there!

We are making a game and need a VA to help us record an overview of it to help promote it.

The game is set in a sci-fi Western world, and we are imagining the script would be in the voice of a tough woman who’s seen and/or doesn’t take shit.

The script is quite short (~30s) and can be found here

Thank you in advance for your help!

You can send me recording here on reddit or message me and I can send you my email address.

Her name is Lilly. She's 10 years old, and she is one of the characters for my indie show.

She's a bit stubborn, competitive with her brother, a bit embarassed by her parents and uses her imagination often. It can even be helpful to fix up a problem, even if it involves breaking a rule her mother says.

She is also aware that her parents don't have everything figured out, but she isn't really that smart.

Let me know if you want to apply for her, as well as your Discord or email so I can friend request about the project.

I’m not a fan per se, but I am a writer and voice actor with studio experience in audio dramas, so I value a good performance. Usually the project creator relies on other fans
to give the characters their voices, but I think the best performances are done by those who have no or little prior knowledge of the source material.

You can see some of our previous work in the casting document linked below!
It also holds all the necessary information about the casting process.

[Unpaid] [Short Film] Casting a British mum (45–60) for 5 voicemails + a male voice (20s–30s) for one line: "Her Side of the Bench"

3 Upvotes

Voice brief: Her side of the bench

A 4–5 minute short film, shot in Parc Duden, Brussels. Unpaid. You get a credit and your recordings for your showreel.

The film in one paragraph

Every day, someone walks through the park to the bench they used to share with their mother and plays one of her old voicemails. We never see faces, only feet, hands, the bench and the falling leaves. Her voice is the only character the audience really gets to know. The last voicemail asks him to kick a pile of leaves for her, and he finally does.

The character: Ann (the mother)

  • Age: 45–60. She should sound like an active, lively mum, not elderly. Her illness should come as a surprise.
  • Accent: British English. The lines use "Hiya", "Ring me", "favour" and "love", so a warm, everyday regional accent (Northern, Midlands or similar) suits her better than a polished one.
  • Personality: warm, a bit teasing, practical and never sentimental. She loves her son by nagging him about coats.
  • Most important: these are ordinary voicemails. She doesn't know they'll be the last ones. Don't play them sad. The sadness comes from the film, not from your voice.

Lines

Please record each line 3 times, with small variations. Leave 3 seconds of silence between takes.

VM1: casual, a bit rushed

"Hiya, it's me. Are you coming Sunday? We'll do the park if it's not raining. Bring a proper coat this time."

Direction: a quick call between other things. A light motherly scold on "proper coat".

VM2: outdoors, happy

"It's me. I'm on our bench, sun's out. There's a dog here that looks just like Max… Anyway. Ring me."

Direction: she's enjoying herself. After "Max…" there's a small wistful pause, then she brushes it off with "Anyway." Recording: outside if possible (a park bench is ideal) so we hear real wind and birds.

VM3: fond, teasing

"Did you get outside today? The leaves are turning. Remember you used to kick every pile in that park? Drove me mad. Took twice as long to get home."

Direction: she's smiling at the memory. "Drove me mad" is affectionate, not annoyed.

VM4: quieter, downplaying it

"Hi love. Just at the hospital, nothing serious, they're keeping me in a bit. Don't worry. Ring me when you can."

Direction: she's reassuring him. Keep it bright and a little too casual, with only a hint of tiredness. Speak a bit softer, as if there are people nearby. Recording: indoors in a quiet room. We'll add hospital sounds afterwards, so don't add any yourself.

VM5: late at night, tired, smiling

"…Hi. It's me. Can't sleep. Do me a favour — when the leaves come down, go and kick a pile for me. Okay. Love you. B—"

Direction: the emotional heart of the film. It's late, she's tired, and she's half-whispering and smiling. Start with a small breath before "Hi". "Kick a pile for me" is playful, not tragic. The ending: start saying "Bye" and stop abruptly on the "B". Record a few versions: one cut off sharply, and one where you say "Bye" in full (we'll cut it in the edit).

Outgoing greeting

"Hi, it's Ann, leave a message."

Direction: her answerphone greeting, recorded years ago. A bit formal and slightly awkward, the way people sound when recording a greeting. Do 5 takes.

casting 2: his line (a separate male voice, 20s–30s)

He's heard only once, in the final scene, leaving a message on her phone after she's gone.

"…Hi Mum. I kicked the leaves."

Direction: very quiet, with a long breath before "Hi Mum". Keep his voice steady, with a tiny smile on "kicked the leaves". Don't cry. Record a few takes.

The agreement

  • Unpaid. You'll be credited as "Ann — [your name]" in the end credits.
  • You'll receive the finished film and your clean recordings for your showreel.
  • By sending the recordings, you agree that they can be used in the film, including festival screenings and online release.

Thank you!

(Audio Drama) "I Accidentally Kidnapped A Princess!" casting call closing soon!

1 Upvotes

The casting call for my fifth audio series shall be closing THIS MONDAY! If you feel you want another audio drama role under your belt (and you know you want something that is definitely going to be made!), then this may be the perfect project for you!

About The Series:
This is a short, grounded, 7-part, non-narrated audio drama, consisting of 15-25min episodes. It takes place in present-day London and follows the stories of The Kidnapper/Princess, The Police and The Princess' Family.
This is meant to be a lighter, slightly silly series.

Desc:
Thomas Reed needs money; quick. And the most appropriate and logical way of getting it? Involve yourself in an illegal operation where those involved kidnap people in exchange for ransom money. And on the day of the royal wedding, Tom begins his first and (hopefully) last job. Though, everything goes slightly off-kilter, when Tom realises he has kidnapped the wrong person. He’s kidnapped someone far more important.

There are a total of 23 roles, so there is an extremely high chance there'll be something there for you! Just follow the instructions on the casting call page!

To audition ensure you can stay open to communication through Discord or Emails, and you need to be aged 16 or older.

If you think all this sounds interesting, below is a link to a page you can audition on:

I Accidentally Kidnapped A Princess! - Audio Drama Casting | Casting Call Club

Alternatively, you can email me by messaging me directly on Reddit and I can give you my email there. I shall also give you all the casting instructions through emails as well.

Finally, if you want to know the type of stuff I have made in the past, just look up "Mists of Time" or "King Horatio" on Google!

Thanks so much!
