Welcome to my passion project!
About Me:
I'm a singer who's been writing songs since middle school and a recording artist since about 2015, making hip-hop music under the guise of "Wolfe". When I was in high school there were a couple of times I almost had my own rock band but it never happened. Well now, thanks to the wonderful power of technology and some help from a few different producers composing the instrumentals for me, I can finally live that dream!
What is PG-13?
PG-13 is a virtual band (kinda like the Gorillaz) of fictional high school students who attend Harmony High and most of the characters meet each other in the goofiest way. But their adventures get even goofier; with a hint of drama spice mixed in. The roadmap I have so far stretches as far as them going on a journey to another world to save the main character from signing a deal and becoming a soulless solo artist to battling a band of evil doppelgangers. It's going to be crazy.
I'm making this casting call to give all the characters voices and have them appear in various songs and skits within the songs. There's also going to be a comic book drawn by me that will follow each album release, telling the overall story and expanding their fictional world. However, I have other plans to help sales at some point, such as allowing fans to do a Zoom call with a character of their choice as a reward for supporting the project if I ever decide to start a fundraiser.
Casting:
Some roles are needed sooner than others, so I may cast before the casting call is actually over. This only applies to the first round of casting however, backups will still have a chance to audition.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
This project will be ongoing for the foreseeable future. Please do not audition, if you don't plan to commit to it. As of writing, there are already plans for at least 5 albums. I would prefer to not have to recast roles, except to make the characters sound older as they age in the story. I understand that things happen, but PLEASE do not audition if there is any doubt at all. And if something does come up, you need to be upfront and transparent.
Requirements:
Deliver requested lines on time
Must be willing to do table reads through group voice calls, when needed
Must be willing to possibly do up to 30-minute voice calls with fans
Clean/clear audio; no background noise or humming (as professional sound as possible)
Must have a Discord account for voice calls (the server will be our primary point of contact)
WAV or lossless formatted audio ONLY
Payment:
You will be paid after I receive all final recordings. The minimum for all roles is $5 for anything under a minute, one at a time. So the first lines I request are $5 at the time of finish, and then if I ask for more lines a week later that aren't related, you get $5 more. The pay rate will go up based on the work scope. ($25 isn't necessarily the max; it will change as the project moves forward into the future)
Please note, that by auditioning and being cast for a role in this project, you give me full permission and rights to use the audio you provide and you are paid for, in my music, for profit.
And don't worry, even if you don't get cast for a role, I will be picking backups in case someone decides to not follow any of the rules I've stated here or can't follow through for any reason.
You can get more details about the story and future plans from me after being cast! (Just to avoid spoilers being posted here)
A few singles are already released if you want to give the music a listen and see what you're getting yourself into. The band will explore several different subgenres of rock ranging from pop-punk to alternative and heavy metal, but what you can hear now is going to be the main style of the band. Character designs here are also very simple and not finalized.

Side Note: If you are a talented singer as well, you may get higher opportunities to be an even bigger part of the project and get paid for vocals.
Even if you decide you aren't interested in this project, I really appreciate any support!
