The second round of auditions is live! The deadline this time around is May 1st 11:59PM EST. If you are interested in auditioning, please fill out this form first, then find the audition slides. The audition slides contain not only the lines to read for each character, but also more detailed instructions about how to format your files and where to submit them.
If you have any questions, check out our FAQ. If you still have questions, feel free to e-mail either of the mods. We’re happy to help!
Since our first round of auditions, a lot of folks have asked us for tips on auditioning. We’re not going to tell you how you should read, but here are some things to bear in mind if you’re thinking about trying out:
1. Be willing to be cast
This means that if you are auditioning for a character with a lot of lines, make sure that you can commit to meeting the deadlines the mods set for each chapter and to sticking it out for the duration of the fic. If you are cast, we also ask that you be gracious and considerate to your fellow cast members, to those who have not been cast, and to yourselves.
2. Be willing to not be cast
The worst part of working on this wonderful project for us as mods is the fact that we have so many talented people clamoring for parts and a limited number of roles that we are casting each time. We need to pick one person for each character. Casting is a difficult process, and when we cast someone, it’s not because those who were not cast are not gifted performers or that we did not like their voices.
As much as we try to emphasize this, we also understand that it is very disappointing to try out for something and not be cast. So if you are thinking of auditioning, you must be emotionally prepared to not be cast. More than anything, we want y’all to take care of yourselves.
3. Be sure to check the context of the audition slides
While we nicely provide the lines we will be asking you to read on the audition slides, you’ll definitely want to read (or re-read) the chapter in which they appear in the fic. Understanding the context in which the lines are uttered will help ground your performance. 🙂
Most of all, have fun. We are so excited to hear everyone, and we love you all. Good luck!
EVERYONE! ROUND TWO AUDITIONS!
