Topic: [Casting Call] Giant Alien Bananas from Outer Space

Yep, the script is finished and now it's time for you guys to lend a hand. So if you are good at voicing and want to be in this film (which will no doubt be the greatest thing ever) then I suggest you give it a go.

OK, there are many roles in this baby, but a lot of them are minor. Remember that if someone has been chosen for a role, you can still audition for it. You just have some competition now.

MAJOR ROLES

BLACK MYTH: Blacksploitation-style badass. He is a kung-fu master who doesn't take !@#$ from nobody. He went into hiding after fighting in the Vietnam war, and has been brought back by "The General" to fight the Giant Alien Banana. He is the world's only hope.
Not actually that many lines but still a major character.
Test line: (to banana mothership) "Get the f**k outta here, before I get hungry."
STATUS: TAKEN BY SHALE]
SWEARS


GENERAL: He kind of looks like that sergeant from 'Full Metal Jacket', although he's not as much of a !@#$%^&*!. Very serious. An old friend of Black Myth. A lot more lines than Black Myth. Swears a little but if you are uncomfortable with that you can easily take them out.
Test line: (On the idea of using a robot to attack the Banana) "Let me tell you something about robots... robots break. They get wet, they're dead, they have a technical disturbance, it's all f**ked. Have you guys even watched the news ? No robot is going to take care of that roaring fruity rampage ... We need something indestructible. We need ... BLACK MYTH."
STATUS: TAKEN BY SHALE]
SWEARS

BUTTON SHIRT GUY: Just an average guy I guess. Not really a central character but has a few lines. He's the guy that tells the General about the incoming banana.
Test line: "We're not sure, but hostile or not... it's coming."
STATUS:  TAKEN BY DANIEL KETLER]


COMMANDO #1: Just a regular commando. I guess it would suit him if he sounded like Duke Nukem. Try not to say them too calmly, seeing as he will be running around and shooting while he says most of these lines.
Test line: "I'm gonna make a banana milkshake out of you!"
STATUS: TAKEN BY SHALE]
SWEARS

COMMANDO #2: Less badass than Commando #1. Swears but you can take the swear words out if you so wish.
Test line: "That sure is one angry banana."
STATUS: TAKEN BY DARTHVINCENTPRICE]


BANANA LEADER: Evil leader of the incoming bananas. Sounds like a stereotypical criminal mastermind. Swears a bit.
Test line: "Foolish humans ! You must be kidding yourselves to believe you are a match for us!"
STATUS: TAKEN BY DARTHVINCENTPRICE]
SWEARS

MINOR ROLES
These are small roles that only consist of one or two lines. If you just want to be able to claim that you're in this film you should take one of these. You can do as many as you like, but don't be greedy. mini/tongue

This is gonna be so awesome. I'll try out myself for some roles.

Button shirt guy sounds like it's right for me. As long as there is no swearing. Can I do my Irish accent? I've mastered it now...

Re: [Casting Call] Giant Alien Bananas from Outer Space

Sure you can. And no, there isn't any swearing.

Re: [Casting Call] Giant Alien Bananas from Outer Space

How many minor roles could I play? I really like the sound of the fedora guy, one of the scientists, and maybe general #1. Sounds really epic Dan. mini/bigsmile

Re: [Casting Call] Giant Alien Bananas from Outer Space

Sent my audition. Contact me by E-Mail if I got the part or not. If it's not good enough I'm 100% okay with that! By the way, I'm away for one week at a camp so I'll PM you when I'm back so as you can send me lines, if I get the part that is. Other than that I have lots of time to record lines.

You can do as many as you like, but I think the maximum would be four or five.

Re: [Casting Call] Giant Alien Bananas from Outer Space

This looks remarkably well put together, I'll have a go at at least one role when I have the time.

Re: [Casting Call] Giant Alien Bananas from Outer Space

This sounds freaking awesome. Just sent you an email. I had a little time on my hands so I just tried out for every role.

Re: [Casting Call] Giant Alien Bananas from Outer Space

I do not care about your opinion, unless it has to do with it needing more ponies.
