Hello everyone!
We are Odd Nation Cartoons, a place for loud minds. We are a small, but dedicated team of indie writers, voice actors, animators, storyboarders, sound designers, and production coordinators.
You can find all the Odd Nation Cartoons projects on YouTube:

ABOUT US
For creators and showrunners Jared Madrigal and Robert Castellanos, what started as a passion project and fan series greatly inspired by Total Drama Island and similar shows has grown over the years into a fully-fledged series with its own identity and fanbase.
Currently Odd Nation Cartoons has over 300,000 subscribers on Youtube and over 1,500 monthly patrons on Patreon. And these numbers are only growing.
ONC’s staple show is Disventure Camp. Disventure Camp is an established indie series on Youtube with two fully completed seasons and a third season, Disventure Camp: All-Stars, that is currently airing on a weekly upload schedule and nearing completion.
Disventure Camp is both a comedic and dramatic animated Reality TV competition show, in which many characters of all shapes, sizes, identities and backgrounds compete for a cash prize. However, while this is the set-up, the show's true heart exists within the complex relationships between these contestants and their relatable life struggles.
(Odd Nation Cartoons is also experimenting with other genres, as we are trying out more “slice of life” stories in two upcoming mini-series.)
That brings us to this casting call! We are super excited to announce that Disventure Camp: Season 4 is currently in production! We have a brand new cast of incredible characters that need incredible voice actors!
All character breakdowns can be found below. Our cast features a very diverse set of characters. Our priority is to cast mindfully and authentically.
CASTING
The final casting WILL NOT take place on this website. Our top selections from this audition will be contacted DIRECTLY with an invite to CALLBACKS after this audition has closed.
We are running callback auditions as a means to find the best possible fit for each character and to see how well the actors work with the Voice Director.
Final casting will be determined after Callbacks. Callbacks are scheduled to take place on August 7th and 8th. Further details will be provided to any actors that accept callback invitations.
Recordings are scheduled to start as soon as August, 12th. Please do not audition if you are unable to begin recording around this time.
COMPENSATION
As of now, we are unfortunately unable to provide a specified amount of guaranteed compensation. We hope that our growth continues, so we can further expand the budget to properly compensate our voice actors.
However, all voice actors will earn compensation through personalized greetings purchased by fans and supporters of the show. Think of these as Cameos for your characters. Greetings average to about 30 seconds of fully voice-acted animation and vary from birthday wishes, to singing a part of a song, to answering questions in character.
We implemented this Greeting option in the third season of Disventure Camp and found them to be very successful in getting the actors much-deserved support! Odd Nation Cartoons does not take a cut from these Greetings as they are purely meant to support the actors and artists behind the production.
Further details on compensation will be provided to those who receive Callbacks!
AUDITION INSTRUCTIONS! (Please follow these closely.)
Each character will have three sample lines. Please record up to 2 takes of each line in AABBCC format. We ask the first take to be read verbatim, and it is encouraged (but not required) to add improv to the second take!
No slates please!
Please do not audition for characters you feel you can’t properly represent.
Please limit the number of characters you audition for to 3 or less.
You may still be considered for characters you didn’t audition for if we liked your auditions in general, so don’t worry about missing out.
Please provide your contact information in your audition post! Discord is preferred as emails seem to give issues when people try to post them. (If you are asked to Callbacks we will require an email address.)
Linking your Demo is highly encouraged! (Having a demo is not required.)
If you can sing we would love to hear it! (Singing may be part of an episode or two!) Please include 10-20 seconds of you singing anything of your choice at the end of your audition if you feel compelled.
REQUIREMENTS
All actors must be 18+ by the time auditions close. NO EXCEPTIONS!!
All actors must have quality set-ups with minimal background noise. It is expected this sound quality is maintained throughout production for any official recordings.
As far as mics are concerned, a broadcast mic with an audio interface is preferred, but good-quality condenser USB mics are perfectly acceptable. Please no gaming headsets, webcam mics, or cellphones!
All actors must have a Discord account or be willing to make one. (Only those cast will be asked to join ONC’s production server. There will also be a separate Discord server established purely for call backs.)
Professionalism, punctuality, and strong communication are all highly-valued traits in our voice actors.
Ability and willingness to work with the Voice Director and apply feedback.
Willingness to take risks and make the characters your own.
Respect for all staff members and fellow voice actors on the production.
Proper conduct when representing the show online and engaging with the fanbase.
Not participating in or promoting the leaking of any official ONC content before public release. (This is grounds for immediate termination. Patreon is the primary way the series is funded and leakers discourage people from becoming patrons.)
IMPORTANT NOTES
Due to character designs being finalized and a key bonus of our Patreon subscribers being "early access," we are currently unable to provide detailed descriptions and images of the characters. We apologize for this inconvenience. More character details will be provided to those who receive Callbacks.
Please use your best judgment when interpreting the characters based on the details provided. Some characters are preferred to have specific accents and be played by actors of certain identities.
All character names are in "quotation marks" because THESE ARE NOT THE OFFICIAL NAMES!! These are placeholder names for the sake of keeping leaks to a minimum.
That just about covers it! Good luck, make strong choices, and have a blast!
