What to do

Edit 3-5-13) Just a heads up, all – my internet access might be very limited the next couple of weeks, so I may not respond to emails very quickly. If you haven’t heard back from me at all by the 19th, I probably didn’t get your email.
Send either your VA resume or a reading of the lines below to whirlwyndstorm@yahoo.com, with the subject “20 Galaxies Audition”. Specify if you’d like to audition for certain characters only, or if you’d like to be considered for any role. Lines should be sent in wav or mp3 format; lines seperate or on one file is OK. Submission deadline is March 31, 2013.

A variety of extras are also needed, so if you want to be part of the project but don’t have the time to record a lot of lines, just send a voice sample. Have fun, everyone! Looking forward to hearing what you’ve got! =)

I will have the cast list by the first week of April, and I will email all auditioners.
