Topic: Welcome to Darkmoor - casting call (CLOSED)

EDIT] I have finished casting.

I'm planning upon making a very weird and somewhat creepy brickfilm called Welcome to Darkmoor, and I'm in need need of some voices.

Welcome to Darkmoor takes place in a creepy little town someplace in Britain.  A man comes to the town to stay the night, and is initially unaware of strangeness lurking within.

All actors should be able to do some sort of decent British accent (Scottish, English, Welsh, et cetera), and will need to have a mic of a relatively decent quality.
If you audition, go ahead and try for as many characters as you can.  Whichever parts are left unfilled, I'll take myself or seek out someone specific.

I don't think I'll be animating this film for a few months, but I want to go ahead and set everything in order.

Most of the townspeople speak in somewhat creepy and unsettling voices.  They usually have a sort of soft dreamy quality to them similar to the voice of Luna Lovegood from Harry Potter.

I actually have names for all of these characters, however, each name is a bit of a spoiler, and are important to the film, because the people of the town have very special names so I will not reveal them here.

The script of the film is entirely clean, and is just a little bit spooky.
Simply make known your desire to audition, and I will PM you my E-mail address for you to send your test lines my way.
In the mean time, I'll keep tweaking the script.

Also, I don't plan to animate this for a few months at least.  I'm in the middle of a scene from another film.  But I'm hoping to start animating and release it next year.

I call dibs on mayor. Expect my test lines within the hour

A Life? Cool! Where can I download one of those from?

Re: Welcome to Darkmoor - casting call (CLOSED)

Ooh man, I can loads of creepy voices, so sign me up!  I'll try for the Guide, and maybe the Narrator.  Also I can do a  pretty good Scottish accent so I wouldn't mind taking a stab at the Shopkeeper, too.  And maybe the Stranger while I'm right at it....

Re: Welcome to Darkmoor - casting call (CLOSED)

Go ahead an audition for as many people as you can.

Re: Welcome to Darkmoor - casting call (CLOSED)

OK!  I don't know when I'll have a chance to record my lines so it might be a bit.  Incidentally, do all the voices have to be British?  I can do a really creepy over-the-top southern American (Texas) style accent that I think would work really well for a spooky small town.

I'm interested in auditioning.

I'm interested in auditioning for the guide.

Re: Welcome to Darkmoor - casting call (CLOSED)

I might give it a try, although I probably won't get it though.

Re: Welcome to Darkmoor - casting call (CLOSED)

I've sent my E-mail to all who have asked thus far.
I've updated a little bit of the information at the top.  Hopefully it'll be a little less confusing.

So far I've gotten an audition from Carrol, which has put him as a possible Mayor, Shopkeeper, and first assistant.

Re: Welcome to Darkmoor - casting call (CLOSED)

I'd like to audition for a few characters, sadly, I cannot do a Scottish accent for my life. 
I'll be able to record the audition lines this afternoon.

Re: Welcome to Darkmoor - casting call (CLOSED)

Expect my audition tonight.

Re: Welcome to Darkmoor - casting call (CLOSED)

I'm interested in giving my RODE a workout. I'll look into this when I have the time and I'll let you know if I can help. mini/smile

Re: Welcome to Darkmoor - casting call (CLOSED)

Oooh, I'd love to do this. Sadly, I don't have a working microphone yet. But, it looks like you won't be in a shortage of voice actors.


Sounds like it'll be awesome!

Re: Welcome to Darkmoor - casting call (CLOSED)

Oh, and I take it The Shopkeeper is a relative of Isaac the Clown?

This sounds like a great film! I'd love to audition for the narrator and the mayor!

Any sort of British accent will do.

This takes place outside the Riigo-Faloo universe.
I'm very fond of that face, though.  The Viking line brought in a lot of cool heads.  And I think I have about three or four of those exact type, all in perfect condition.

Oh, I didn't mean it literally; it was more of a joke, seeing as both characters have the same face and speak in a Scottish accent.

"I'm the mayor of this town, and I want you to get out of that tree!"

I ssssssssssssssee what you did there.

I'm really interested in getting a part in ANY of your amazing brick-films. They're so amazing!!! I'll audition all the male parts.  mini/love

Re: Welcome to Darkmoor - casting call (CLOSED)

I think I'll audition for a few characters. I've been practicing a British accent, so I may be able to put it to use here.
