The first picks have been made, I got a lot of people trying out to play Blues but RetributionVox had the most energy and the clearest mic. Thanks to everybody who tried out, but especially Slicing-Claws who tried out for Blues, he did a good read, but his file output is a little lo-quality. However, he's a really talented musician and will still have his hands in the movie music-wise, which is just as important.
Romeo's actor has also been chosen: independent rapper Kid Heru, aka Kappaho here on NG. (Say the NG username out loud, please lol), and also coincidentally will be contributing music to the movie. Thanks for the tryouts to everybody who tried, but my main complaint is that I got a lot of people trying to swing a ghetto voice when it wasn't natural to them. And like I mentioned earlier, closeness to the character's age and acting ability were the most important, not sounding "ghetto", SAY THE LINES IN A WAY THAT'S NATURAL TO YOU, those were suggested descriptions.
Also, I just got done sending an email to everybody who auditioned, so if you sent me lines and didn't get a reply, let me know so we can find out what happened, capiche'? Still looking for that Kayle and that Spiral. Where are the girls at?

If you're interested in getting in on the project, leave a comment here with links to your previous acting work (With specifically which character you played), your email, and if you use AIM or Skype, in which case coaching and contact would be much more easy. In which case, I'll PM you the practice lines for the character(s).

I needs voice actors to man and I'd play Kayle but my voice isn't very "strong and opinionated".

You can try, those are just what I pictured, but there's times where somebody will have a lot of energy for their own take on the part and it's just as good.
