Hi everyone! I'm the creator and animator of Game Over the animated series. I'm taking on another animation project, Poison Heart.
This is a casting call for a trailer and the first episode. I'm excited to animate another animated series and have another chance to recruit more talented voice actors.

He wasn't like other people.
He was different, strange.
And could he ever run away from that?

18 and Older Actors Only
Please only audition if you are 18 or older. I am not comfortable working with minors, especially on a project of this nature with such sensitive topics. I am truly sorry to waste your time, to any minor that has already auditioned. Thank you for your interest in the project. I should've explicitly stated this from the beginning, but it hadn't become an issue until now. So I am sorry for that oversight. Thank you all for your amazing auditions! Keep up the great work!
