I found this incredibly hard. It literally took all day but I think I found the most suited voices. Thanks again to all those who auditioned! If you didn't get a part it doesn't mean I didn't like you cos a lot of you were brilliant - it's a shame there were so few parts. I'm gonna keep a lot of peoples' contact information for future projects, in fact.

These four people, expect to be contacted soon!

I've used real names for people who didn't specify a username in their e-mail, if this is an issue please contact me and I'll change it immediately. Also, if you sent an audition and your name isn't up there, let me know.

Thanks a whole bunch to the people who took the time to send files. It's quite a bit of hassle so I appreciate the effort and time people took - you've all made me very happy! This was my first Voice Acting Alliance auditioning experience and it was great and incredibly useful. I would highly recommend it if you're searching for talent.

Right now I'm off to filter through the auditions and hopefully get up a cast list soon! Thanks again!

-----------------

BACKGROUND: Edwin Crosby, as hard as he tries not to be, is a terrible door-to-door salesman. His technique is bad. His customer interaction is bad. His products are bad. All he wants is to make that first sale of his. This is an animated comedy series that will follow Edwin on his endeavor to making cash.

The character first emerged when I animated a few short Flash movies three years ago. I made them to mock the ludicrousness of certain infomercials. Through the use of wry and slapstick humour, I created an intentional low-budget feel. You can find them at my Newgrounds page: http://mykindofflash.newgrounds.com. Lookingat my 2009, you'll see my animating is a lot better now.

RECORDING: Please send your audition files in either MP3 or WAV format.

SENDING: Simply attach your audition files to an e-mail and send it to mykindofflash@googlemail.com. Naming your audition files likes so: "yourname_nameofcharacter_linenumber" would be a big help.

DEADLINE: You have until the 24th of August so there's no hurry. On the following day, I'll let everyone know who got the parts.

-----------------

AUDITIONS: I have a few characters here for episode one. The series is set in America, therefore all characters' accents should reflect this. I've also given the dialogue that comes before and after certain audition lines and some description just to give them a bit of context. I've also only selected a few lines. Each character has at least five lines in the actual script. All art is conceptual and may be altered:

ANGRY GUY

DETAILS: A muscular, grumpy man in his forties who has just been woken up by Edwin and therefore is angry. He will require a low, masculine voice.

AUDITION LINES:

1:
EDWIN: Do you wish you had something to give you that extra energy boost?

ANGRY GUY: (Peeved) Ya mean like right now? When jerks knock on my door in the morning and don't stop until they wake me up?!

EDWIN: Exactly!

2:
ANGRY GUY: (Disgusted by Edwin's drink) Ugh! Quickly! Gimme something to rinse out my mouth!

-----------------

LITTLE BOY

DETAILS: A tiny scamp aged about seven who is selling lemonade outside his house and is confronted by Edwin. He will require a high, child-like voice.

AUDITION LINES:

1:
LITTLE BOY: (Enthusiastically) Hello, mister! Would you like some lemonade?

2:
Edwin and the little boy have just had an argument over how many drinks they've sold each.

LITTLE BOY: (Quite bratty) Sir, if you're not buying anything, could you move away? I have other customers waiting. Thank you.

Edwin glares at the little boy.

-----------------

NAKED MAN

DETAILS: A startled late-thirties man who is shocked to find Edwin in his bathroom. He will require just an average, medium man's voice.

AUDITION LINES:

1:
EDWIN: Let me ask you this: What would you like most in the world right now?

MAN: (Somewhat timid) For you to leave my bathroom, please?

2:
EDWIN: Any questions?

MAN: Yeah, just a tiny thing. How did you get in my house? The door was locked.

-----------------

NICE GUY

DETAILS: A gentle, kind man in his forties who offers Edwin some advice. He will require a soft, friendly, medium man's voice.

AUDITION LINES:

1:
Edwin is sad and nice guy is comforting him.

NICE GUY: (Inspirational) Yes. Dreams are what keep us going because every dream, no matter what it may be, is achievable. So, I know that someday you will make that first sale of yours. And do you know what? All the hard work will be worth it. Never stop dreaming, Edwin...

-----------------

DEADLINE: Again, the 24th of August. On the following day, I'll let everyone know who got the parts.

NOTE: I'm on vacation for two weeks, starting tomorrow. I'm not gonna be able to gradually filter through sent auditions, so I'm gonna come back to a pile of e-mails in my inbox (hopefully). Therefore, I won't be in contact with anyone for a fortnight, so don't think I'm ignoring you.

Thanks a lot for reading! And speak to you all in roughly two weeks!
