Auditons Closed + Moving Forward
Long message below. Check the last paragraph for a summarized version!
Hello everyone! Thank you all so much for taking the time to audition for my project! It is truly an honor to have so many people interested in working with me! I was not expecting the sheer number of auditions that came through, with my last project being just over 400 and this… way beyond that. I am, admittedly, a bit overwhelmed.
I have listened to everyone’s submissions so far and begun working to sort them. I intend to set aside several hours this weekend to really hammer out some final decisions based on my current shortlist. From there, I will start reaching out to others.
I would like to note however, that my computer remains completely dead. Despite working to replace parts which were clearly faulty (the entire motherboard has been replaced…) it remains unrevived as of now. I am stuck, and nearly a month behind now with my work on this project… as well as a significant portion of my writing likely being completely lost. So, though I am loathe to admit it, I do believe this project will be delayed. Never the less, I am still going to move forward with making my casting decisions.
I will be contacting the voice actors chosen within the next week with a very tentative word count and pay rate, by email if provided or by DM if not. This will, for the most part, be me confirming your continued interest in the project since I provided a very specific timeline for recording and payment that is no longer going to be accurate.
Once I am ready to begin recording with you all, I will contact everyone who agreed once more with a final and solidified offer as well as the script so that you may review what it is I would be asking of you!
I enjoy working on these projects and am eager to get started once again, so it frustrates me to have to delay one for the first time.. but alas life happens.
That aside, I have a significant backlog of emails and DMs that you all have sent me. I’ll be working on getting everyone responded to this weekend as well.
In the meantime, if you want to keep up with what I am doing, follow me on Twitter! (Or X, now, isn’t it?) That is the site where I am most active and will frequently provide story, project, and other updates! It’s also where updates about my saga with the computer will be shared as they happen… https://twitter.com/Methalis2
To summarize:
I’ll be reaching out to everyone I wish to cast in the story with tentative word count and payment offers, solid ones arriving once my broken computer is fixed and I am able to finish the last bit of writing and editing for this story.
