Greetings, all. Do not refresh your page, this is not a 1:1 copy-paste of the last casting call. The Great Disney Games is an upcoming story written by me. The story is a Battle of the Network Stars-styled affair involving various Disney characters gathered into three teams. Counting the most recurring in-universe commentators, there are 47 principal characters in the story, though most chapters will not feature them all at once. Most chapters will generally focus on three-person groups from each team and a handful of guest characters.
This second casting call was made to fill out the remainder of the principal roles and some of the supporting characters.
Characters were chosen via a combination of personal preference, recognizability, popularity, and theming for their respective teams. The events of most Disney Animated Canon films and their sequels are taken into account, as well as the events of most of Disney's television series (where applicable). Submission lines are a combination of actual quotes and dummy lines made by me. Whether the latter make it to the final product remains to be determined.
Date(s): Whenever the material is written and we have a cast set for on-air reading. The end of June 2024 was the original intended date but here we are. The new optimistic date is before the end of November 2024. Readers would NOT need to be present live and could record their lines remotely whenever convenient.
Creative team members: This project would be handled by the members of the SEESBrain Commentators, a YouTube collective of content creators who generally specialize in video game commentaries but also do podcasts. The project would be in conjunction with one of these podcasts. A link to the general SEESBrain YT channel is here. To contact one of our casting guides, please see this channel: SuperMSL. They are also contactable through X (formerly Twitter).
Pay/contract: Non-union project, $16 (USD) for every minute of recorded dialogue (if recording remotely); payment for live appearances determined by negotiations between the individual actor and Scrappy-Fan92; An example: someone who records 30 seconds of dialogue for Daisy and 30 seconds of dialogue for Charlotte would be paid for the cumulative amount of dialogue ($16 for 60 seconds total).
Location preference: None, just looking for actors who can fluently read and speak English and can send files of their dialogue reliably or sit in for remote group recordings.
Technical requirements: As recordings from my usual circle are not of the highest audio quality, I am not looking for supreme professional recordings. Please, just ensure that your microphone is capable of recording your performance without picking up overwhelming background noises or excessive peaking/clipping. And while these characters have set, iconic voices, I am not mandating perfect imitations. If you can only emulate one thing, strive for the spirit of the character, not the outer trappings of the performance. I request that submissions have no more than three takes per line and be sent in MP3 or WAV format.
NOTE - 5 characters -- counting Charlotte and the Fairy Godmother -- have open auditions on this site at the moment as the other 42 have been cast (marked by a single asterisk) or have an actor who expressed interest offsite or sent an audition (marked by two or three asterisks). Nonetheless, screencaps of a list of all 47 principal characters will be posted below to provide context and a look at the team configurations. If any of these taken or "taken" roles pique your interest, please reach out to me and I will consult with my team to see if role reassignment is possible.

Seriously, don't hesitate to ask. It's how I cast Donald here.
Best of luck to you all. I look forward to hearing from you.
Hello, folks. I am anticipating more submissions so I have extended the project deadline one more time. It will now close on Friday, October 18th at 12:30 AM ET, though I will likely begin shortlisting before then. Best of luck.
Hello, all. In case you missed it, a deadine extension was given to the project several days ago and this new deadline has not yet approached. Tuesday, October 15th, 2024 is the new deadline (pending any further extensions). Best of luck.
The clumsy everyman of the Disney universe. Goofy's joined the team to support his good friend Mickey and get some well-deserved bonding time with his son Max. What he lacks in conventional wisdom he makes up for in unconventional everything else.
"I see things 'round these parts that no one else does, things that've eluded Goofkind for generations. I don't mean to alarm you, Miss Snow, but I don't think Donald's wearing underwear."
"You've come to the right place! We got candy hearts, artichoke hearts, Kingdom Hearts (I'll save that one for later, a'hyuck), and Pop-Hearts: part of this complete breakfast."
"Look at this here third placeholder line. It's mocking us, Maxie. Mocking us like...like...well, that don't matter none. The point is we're getting closer to finding actors. Soon we'll have the perfect cast."
Jollywood's worldly wicked witch and enemy of the Seven Dwarves. Though her closest enemy is now Snow White only by proxy, she's not going to let a general lack of familiarity stop her from ruining someone else's day. As one of the few members of her team steeped in the occult, she will educate her new allies with her trademark humility...stop laughing. She hates it when you laugh at her.
"Grimmy, I have the most diabolical plan to get those goody-goodies off our trail. Strew the path with Lego bricks."
"What do you mean making them step on Lego bricks is too inhumane? Fine, we'll use thumbtacks and broken glass."
"You stupid, STUPID pirate! When he's done with us, I'll have as many teeth as you had brains!"
Cheery, vainglorious, and always on the scene, Daisy Duck serves as one-half of the Games' color commentary team. Where the competitors go, she goes, microphone in hand and plucky comment on the tip of her tongue. In anticipation of her big role, she's researched most of the trivia of the contestants, blasting factoids with Olaf whether they're relevant or not.
"The next phase of the competition is heating up, folks. I, for one, haven't been this excited since my hometown outlawed socks with sandals."
"For those of you joining us at home, I would like to remind you all of Sprig's jumping prowess...and I *would* remind you if SOMEBODY hadn't used my stat notes for origami!"
"As a commentator, I am held to the highest standards of professional behavior. So, I do not take it lightly as I suspend that behavior and politely request that you KNOCK HIS BLOCK OFF, DONALD!"
Cinderella's magical maternal substitute and one of two "game masters" who oversee the multiversal proceedings. She serves as the moral teacher for the contestants (if they're willing to listen) and provides a slightly less madcap influence than her counterpart Merlin.
"Good intentions are good but they require the intent to be good at doing good."
"Ala-kazoo, some gibberish too. Et-cetera-cetera-boo. Put that together and what do you get? Nothing, I'm afraid. Even I can't make spells out of thin air all the time."
"Never forget your friends and remember what the Genie said, *never* mix magics. Catastrophe would be your permanent bedfellow."
Heiress to the La Bouff family fortune and princess at heart from New Orleans. Known as "Lottie" to her friends, she serves as support staff during the competitors' downtime, providing her charges with whatever creature comforts she can muster with a crash course in interior decorating.
"Raps, can I call you Raps? You and are I two halves of a long-separated set. Let's just ignore your fake mother throwing a wrench into everything."
"The duck may swim in the lake but my Daddy owns the lake. He also tried to own the ducks but don't tell 'em that."
"It's not slime, you reprobate, Sprig here is covered in mucus. And there ain't nothing wrong with that."
