Auditions can be sent to thewalnutgallery@yahoo.com

Please put 'The Walnut Gallery Audition" as the subject line, and please include the list of characters you are trying out for in the body of the e-mail, along with listing any tweaks that were done to your voice electronically to make the voice (if any).

Afterward, simply attach your audition to the e-mail. Please make sure your audition's filename reflects the name of the character you are trying out for. And if you are trying out for more than one, please do each character on a separate track. Multiple takes or voice attempts on a single character may be done on the same file, but do a different audition file for each character you are trying out for.

Acceptable file types are WAV and MP3, however WAV is preferred if you can.

Also, feel free, whether you do or do not audition, to put up your own journal to guide watchers or other possible interested parties, back to us. The more people we can get, the better this is going to turn out.
