The Y2K casting call just closed and we are so happy and honoured and grateful and humbled by all the wonderful voice actors who auditioned.
Now begins the very exciting and very difficult casting process. We definitely listen carefully to every audition, and may ask for recalls for some parts. We will get back to everyone who auditioned during the month of June.
Stay tuned – we are very much looking forward to announcing the cast!
“Hey, um, I’m Olivia and this is the Y2K podcast! I guess I should tell you what this is all about… So a few days ago I managed to get my Mum’s old laptop working. I was hoping to find baby pictures of me, there are hardly any and I was curious. I rummaged around this really old black-and-white dodgy-looking interface and found — absolutely no baby pictures. No pictures at all actually. But I did find something else. These old audio files, dozens of them, all labeled with dates from January 2000 onwards. It seems to be a conversation in voice mails between my Mum and a friend of hers, and I’ve only listened to a couple of them but they seem… interesting somehow. Though it’s weird to hear Mum so young – I’ll be 20 this year and she would have been about… 25 when this was recorded. Almost the same age. Cool. But so weird. OK I’m rambling. I thought this would make an interesting podcast. So… Here are the first messages.”
