Casting Call...Who Uses It?

[thechase]

Hey guys, I discovered Casting Call this past week and am using it to find talent for a TMNT promotional project, and I was wondering if anyone else used it for similar things?

There's, um, a lot of what looks like successful documentation of people using it on some streaming sites.

I've done and participated in a lot of projects for voice acting roles(its how I got a role in Fallout The Frontier.) It really varies what you'll find but you'll have a fun time casting

Thanks. 

Already got a good number of voices (except for the females, which I really need), just need to keep adding roles once I finalize lines.

It's funny, I don't really have a set 'script' for this project per say, all the lines I use for the auditions are made up on the spot for the process, and I include them in the script later.

Sadly, someone is now sending me abusive DMs on the site, so I don't know if I should keep using it for the sake of my mental health

You can report them and take screenshots. The mods have a zero tolerance rule for that kind of stupidity. Also use Twitter for casting calls as well. Do you have a demo reel or anything to showcase your voice?I'm casting for something soon and I can see what I can do.

I've e-mailed the mods with screenshots, thanks for the advice

I'm not actor, so I don't have an audition range tape or anything, I simply write the stories.

I've also made sure nobody but those I follow can DM me

I've looked at this site for a good long time but have never got up the nerve to actually audition for anything.

Is this something anyone can do?

It's open to anyone, you can start a project, write up character roles, usually describe how you'd want the person to perform, and then those you want can supply an MP3 or Wav file of their performance for the project creator to look over and decide upon casting. 

Usually you need to have a discord or e-mail if you're cast so more lines can be sent to you.

The site has this ridiculous system where if you're blocked by a person, they can still send DMs to you, if you try to go to their profile, and you're blocked, you can't block them.

So the abusive DMs are continuing.

Ended up closing my casting call account because the trolling wouldn't stop and the mods clearly got fed up deleting his accounts. Really sucks, but I got some great voice actors out of it so it wasn't a totally wasted experience.
