For this very reason *no one* on the Greasepunk Paradise project team will ever reach out to a
#VoiceActor
using a DM. They're just too sketchy on this platform, and so we'll send you an email to your posted address instead (or an email address listed on your personal website).
If you’re hiring voice actors, please don’t DM us with just “hi” “hello” “hey”
Please at least mention who you are and why you’re reaching out. If you can’t write a DM, I’m nervous to see what the script will be like.
It also makes you look like a bot, and most won’t respond.

We are proud to be able to say we have paid our project's
#VoiceActors
rates of at least $250/hour, and we intend to keep it that way. However, we do try to size 1-hour recording jobs so our work does not distract them from auditioning for bigger, higher-paying opportunities.
Note this asks you to quote your rate. NU rates are $250/ 2 hours min. We encourage using:
For smaller budget indies, please check this rate guide:
As you send rates, please don’t undercut yourself or other VAs! Thank you!!

Well. That was awesome. Got a demo reel sent to me today that was just too good to pass up, and now I'm crafting a new character for her to join the prologue. Just goes to show that as a voice actor you never know when your demo could land in the right hands at the right time.

Very good advice. We do screen our
#VoiceActors
for such behavior, and it has helped us avoid working with some unprofessional (but talented) candidates. Truly a shame.
Voice actor tip:
Don’t make fun of, shame, or hate on productions for no reason. Especially on your BUSINESS/VA Twitter.
If you simply dislike the story or animation, that’s fine. But some people who have worked on it WILL see what you post. Even if it’s a huge production

Time for a little transparency about how I make casting decisions for Greasepunk Paradise roles. Here's a thread with just a few big items I consider.

After spending a weekend in the writer's room, I am pleased to say we've just finished the first draft of Scene 2 for our prologue. We've also expanded our cast with a few additional VA roles. We'll include these in our upcoming casting call later this month.

Here's another reason why we decided to be transparent about our budget. Life is tough as it is for
#VoiceActors
trying to make a living. Maybe we're just crazy, but we think being open and honest about our budget is the least we can do.
🎙️VO tip of the day
There's no magic formula for getting a client to tell you their VO budget right away❤️
But I've found quoting your usual prices and then they either pay, try to negotiate, or they tell you it's out of their budget. Suddenly then you'll know the budget 😄

Catching a lot of imposter syndrome vibes from some

lately. Reminder: perfectionism exists at all levels of the entertainment industry. It's the reason why works are never finished. They're only abandoned.

Just finished the initial recording sets from our starting VA cast, and I am completely blown away by their incredible talent. Got to tip my hat to you voice actors out there who make projects like this possible.

Would appreciate any
#VoiceActors
responding. I'm trying to get an idea of an appropriate casting call time window that works for most people. Assuming we had only a single window open at a time (1 character), what is a time duration that works best for you?

We provide a lot of freedom to VAs on how they interpret scenes and our characters. It's why we put extra emphasis on acting abilities and training, and it's paid off so far! It's humbling for us writers sometimes because VAs really bring life to a character's believability.

As a relatively new director I can say this has happened a few times already. Sometimes the VA just nails it.

For those interested in doing VA auditions for our projects, we pay for *all* VA work regardless of the role.

@JennaOliverVA
Thanks Jenna. That helps a lot. That's exactly what I was thinking. People have a lot going on, and we'll likely be doing casting calls through the busy holiday season. Seems like it's warranted to err on the side of caution and make them longer just in case.

While I am very new to engaging with the online VA community, I can already tell it is one of the warmest, welcoming corners of social media. This has made casting decisions more difficult than I thought it would be, but that's a good thing.

Absolutely. As new characters are created I always dig into my stack of demo reels first. You can send it to john.hanke

We use to produce our official documents, and it's worked great so far. I think they have a free trial period where you can generate several documents without having to pay.

(3) Do you have animation demos? Do they capture someone truly acting (not just reading copy in voices) Is there enough variety? Do they have your natural voice? (I like casting people close to their normal range so as not to cause undue strain to their voice).

(5) Are you in it for a career? We have awesome plans for the Greasepunk Paradise animated series, but we're an indie project. We actually prefer to not be your biggest gig (or your only gig).

Do you like romance? The story follows the drama and intimate struggles between couples who face impossible choices between love, duty, and sanity.

@RicepirateMick
My first VA recording session turned into an entire script rewrite. Entire major character was completely changed. The key is producing as you go, making the rewrite less of a big deal. Hard to get married to a script that hasn't been written yet.

Recovery takes years. For immediate assistance you’ll want to give your money to someone who has boots on the ground and knows what is needed.

(4) Does your social media feed and/or web presence echo professionalism, politeness, and responsibility of maintaining discretion. I share uncensored notes and scripts with VA so they can deliver the best performance possible. I like kind-hearted people who practice respect.

We've shared a lot of art and other vague details lately, but what is Greasepunk Paradise actually about? That's difficult for me to answer, but here are a few questions you can ask yourself that may help determine if it might be for you.

As a non-union project, we let
#VoiceActors
drive the conversation about what is fair for what we're asking them to do. They simply do not have union representation doing that for them.
