CASTING CALL
'ANIME ACADEMY'
​
COMEDY WEB SERIES SHOOTING FEB 2019
Welcome to the Anime Academy (title TBC). With shounen battles, mahou shoujo transformations, and more in the curriculum, students can learn how to survive in any anime. This parody of anime characters and tropes will consist of weekly episodes, each a few minutes long and released on our YouTube channel Deerstalker Pictures.
​
We're looking to fill a bunch roles as listed below. Prior acting experience is helpful but not compulsory. Please note that there will be a lot of dialogue involved and your performance will be a big factor in you being successful for the role. For legal reasons we will only be accepting applicants over the age of 18.
Block 1 of filming will take place in Sydney in mid-late February 2019 (dates TBC). At this stage we are only looking for locals.
​
To audition please choose a role (or roles) you think you would suit and film yourself performing a scene in character (phone selfie recordings okay!). We have some reference scenes linked below, however if you have your own scene in mind that can better show off your range then feel free to perform that instead. Please upload your scene to YouTube (make sure it is Unlisted not Private), then submit it to us by filling out the form below if you are interested and available!
