AUDITIONS ARE NOW OPEN FOR PERCY JACKSON

As you all know, I’m working on my thesis, which is Production Design for a Percy Jackson and the Olympians animated series, focusing on the Lightning Thief (click here for more information)

I’ll be animating a minute-long trailer, which means I’ll be needing voice actors. The script is still in the process of finalization, so I’m not sure which characters need voices so I’ll be starting with casting Percy first.

For those interested in auditioning, here’s how you do it:

• Send audio recordings of yourself saying 3-5 lines as Percy (I recommend using direct quotes from the book) to my e-mail address, ishelmascarinas@gmail.com with the subject “VO: Percy, [your full name].” If you like, you can also include a message of why you’d like to play the part and what you can offer to the role.
  
• Please send in your files as .mp3, with the file name: “[FullName]VOPerc” for example: “IshelMascarinasVOPerc.mp3”
• Try to limit the background noise as much as possible. I want to actually hear your voice, not the birds singing outside your window :)
  

What am I looking for for Percy?

• As much as possible, I’d like him to sound like an actual 12-year-old. If you’re an actual 12-year-old boy, great! It’s not required though. If you’re slightly older/younger, but could pass as 12, you’re welcome to audition!
  
• I picture him having a slight New York accent (which maybe becomes more prominent when he’s angry or scared or emotional). So maybe if you can, then go for it. Or maybe his accent isn’t as subtle at all, or maybe he doesn’t have an accent. We’ll see with how this all pans out.
• Try and choose lines that will show some emotional range.
• That’s pretty much it. Good luck!

For those who aren’t auditioning for Percy, feel free to reblog this to spread the word! Also, regularly check on my animated pjo tag for updates (I’ll be posting casting calls for other characters there, when the trailer script is ready) If you have questions/suggestions/violent reactions, feel free to send me an ask or an e-mail. Thank you so much!
