But wait, what is Total Drama Gone Wild?
Some of you might know the show 'Total Drama', well, 'Total Drama Gone Wild' will be in the same 'universe' (meaning the same style of characters), and the concept of the show will be very like 'Total Drama'. It is a parody series of the famous show "Survivor"­ a bunch of teenagers are entering in an desserted island where they will have to internet connection, cellphones, computers or other technological equipment. After a series of challenge, one after another will be eliminated until only 3 are left to the finale, here one will win 1,000,000 dollars!

Some more information about voice acting FROM HOME!
Like every other animated, there are voice actors, and I need 20 people who will agree to help me in my project to make a real series. Want to help in this project? :D Wanna be a part of it? Make sure to audition the The Army of DE BEST V.A. (Voice Actors) EVUR!

Basically, what is going to happen is this:

Choose one character you think will most fit to your voice, accent, age, tone of voice and energy in the voice (everything of every character will be detailed next) and fill an aplication form and send it to my message wall (details next). After you get an approval to your audition and the mini­script (the audition) the character has, following the instructions written in the script, please record the audition tape. GOOD LUCK!

please so not go now and send the application, read the whole blog and then do so :P Thanks!

''' NOTICE - THE PROJECT OF VOICE ACTING IS COMPLETLEY PERSONAL, THERE WILL BE NO MEETINGS, NO VIDEO CHATS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. YOU JUST SIT IN YOUR HOUSE AND I WILL GIVE YOU INSTRUCTIONS FROM MY OWN COMPUTER. '''

What about payment?
This is a really touchy subject XD I really don't have any money and I'm not going to pay online. This is basically vouliteering, I won't be able to repay anyone with MONEY. But, there is a payment method I could repay you with - Designings, making your drawing (or just describing) of a characters into a real HD character, birthday cards with one of my characters, character bases, drawings and MORE!



Don't be afraid to ask for this kind of payment, but at the same time, the less payment you ask for the more is helps me! Some may just not ask for payment at all because they love the oportinuty to voice act, but I respect and will repay if you ask so. Also, you must keep in mind that the less episodes your characters has lines in the less I will repay. I hope you'll understand me and will do the best for you and for the project :D

Remember, everyone of the V.A.'s will be fully credited in every episode they will praticipate in.

Don't be scared to show your acting skills, don't be shy!!!
First, you will need all of the following equipment:


 *  A working microphone -  ­ This is the most impotant item here you need to have! Without a microphone there is no way to record an audition without it. Now, the quality of the microphone and/or the other recordign equipment is not important! Of course the qualitier ­ the better, but the quality of your microphone will not affect on your chances to be accepted to play a roll in the series. If you don't have a microphone, don't buy a microphone for the audition, go to a friend's house who has a microphone or borrow one, please don't waste money just to audition.
 *  A recording software  ('Audacity' recommended) - Make sure the softwae is FREE! :D I'm sure Audacity is completley free, it's a simple, great software, and if you don't know how to use it make sure to say so in the aplication and I will include a toturial in your audition aproval! :D
 * AND MOST IMPORTANTLY ­ HAVE A GOOD MODE! Make sure you are in a really good mood, ready to do the audition, motiviated and just do it from all of your heart <3

This is all you'll need to the actual recording. Now, these are the steps you'll need to take before you record an audition!

Name (or username):
 * 1) The next subject is a list of the 20 characters you can choose from a character and audition to the role of it! Before it will be explained how to pick your best fitting character. Make sure you know your character well (tone of voice, energy, high or low voice and even accent), and then ­-
 * 2) Fill up this short, easy and super quick uplication form and send it to my message wall (or talk page, however you want to call it) in ANY wiki :D You should know that none of these criterions will affect your possibillity to pass the audition;

 Male/Female: 

Character I want to audition to:

How much I think I fit the character (from 1 to 5):

 The payment method I want (pick one):  Designings, digital art and so  /  No need, I'm voulteering!

And that's it! Wait a few hours and you'll get an aprovment to audition and the audition script of your character. That's all you need to do!

The CAST! Pick one!
Next is the list of characters you can pick from. But how to pick the most fitting character?! Here's how to pick the best fitting characters to you. '''1 - most importat. 4 - a little important.''' '''YOU CAN PICK MORE THAN ONE CHARACTER!!! PICK HOW MUCH CHARACTER YOU WANT TO AUDITION TO!''' But, please consider characters who have less people who auditioned to the character than characters that have more than 3 people who auditions to it. ENJOY!
 * 1) Tone of voice - this the most important criterion in the list! Tone of voice meand how high or how low is the voice of the character. Make sure your'e normal voice fits the tone (high, low, middle, middle-high, middle-low and so) and if it doesn't, make your voice fit to the tone, but don't try to hard! If the tone of the voice doesn't come naturally, try harder but if it still doesn't work, give up on that character.
 * 2) Nationallity or accent - Thr second criterion is the accent of the character. If the character is, let's say, dutch - please do not audition to the character if you are not dutch and know really good English or an English speaker who knows a natural, a little bit exaggerated dutch accent. Yay :P
 * 3) Gender - This isn't the most important criterion, but it is critical. Boys, please audition to male parts unless you have a good low girl voice. Girls, please audition to girls part unless you have a good high boyish voice. Don't be afraid to take a part of the opposite gender, just make sure you fit first.
 * 4) A relatable character for you - This is the least important criterion here, but it is a little bit important. Make sure you can relate to the character's personallity, and its past. You don't have to be related, but it'll be better if you will be. Good luck!

1st - Nicole!
Label:  "Been in juvie, it's great there"

Nationallity or accent: American (American accent)

Background: Meet Nicole, a well known criminal in the local police station. She is cinycal, Indifferent, grumpy, cold and hates any social relationships. She has never and will never follow any rules, and espicially not Chris' rules.

Tone of voice: Nicole has a girly voice though it is lower than a normal high pitched girl voiced. Being the sarcastic, unhappy person she is, she doesn't scream a lot and has a very deep though girly voice that comes from the nose. (If you didn't understand what I'm talking about your'e more than welcome to ask me to describe it more in the comments)

Example of voice: Similar to 'Wendy' from Disney's "Gravity Falls". Even a little deeper voice than she has. But don't copy that voice! Be unique!

2nd - Iris :P


Label: "The Kickboxer. THE Kickboxer."

Nationallity or accent: American (American accent)

Background: Iris is really into kickboxing as you can see in her pose, she is crazy about and thinks her whole life is about kickboxing - those kicks, boxes, and the great music that comes with the kickboxing. But that, she is lovely and nice, though she might be a little clumsy and not that thoughtfull and smart. She can be a great friend for someone with the same intrests as she has. She is totally wild and maybe a little bit not the most normal person ever. Hopefully, nothing will break with all of her kicks XD

Tone of voice: Iris had a super normal voice, but it is a little bit more mature than the other voices, it's a little lower than an average girl. (If you didn't understand what I'm talking about your'e more than welcome to ask me to describe it more in the comments)

Example of voice: -



3rd - Nate :)
Label: "The Shy Guy"

Nationallity or accent: American (American accent)

Background:Nate is a really nice gut, though he's quite quiet (see what I did there?), Restrained and doesn't like to talk about himself too much. While he might sound like something a girl would want. he's not the best when it comes to romantics.

Tone of voice: Nate has a very 'shy' voice. His tone is pretty normal but a little higher than a normal boy. His voice is a tin bit shaky and scared, though it's strong and can be heard. But that- he has a normal voice :) (If you didn't understand what I'm talking about your'e more than welcome to ask me to describe it more in the comments)

Example of voice: '*'*Similar** to Jimminy the Cricket (or Dr. Hopper) from abc's Once Upon A Time (don't get confused with the real Jimminy the cricket) - though Nate's voice is a little more younger and stronger than his.



4th - Brandon :P
Label: "The Math Obessesed"

Nationallity or accent: American (American accent)

Background: You can understand Brandon's personality and main 'idea' from his label  - a math obsessed nerd! Well, there are two styles of nerds - a "gamer-cool-geek" style of nerd and a math lover that loves ugly and old sweaters. Brandon is the second kind of nerd. Though he's super kind and loving he is a very big math lover that takes every single problem in his life and makes it into a math problem, which then he solves (:

Tone of voice: Brandon has a bit of a geeky voice, his voice is absoutley normal, pretty average but not to masculine, he is pretty nerdy. (If you didn't understand what I'm talking about your'e more than welcome to ask me to describe it more in the comments)

Example of voice: **Similar** to Tyler Oakly's voice but geekier and calmer.



5th - Maia ;P
Label: "The Not-So-Smart Girl"

Nationallity or accent: American (American accent)

Background: Maia is a very nice a friendly girl, her stereo-type is "The Not-so-smart Girl". As her stereo-type says, she's not 100% genius, though she's absolutely not the dumb girl like Lindsay. She can be a good help to her team in a time of a challenge, but she can be an interruption as well.

Tone of voice: Maia's voice is a little loud and annoying, but it's cute and harmless. It's a high voice, not a normal one but decently higher than a normal voice. Her voice is very childish, too. (If you didn't understand what I'm talking about your'e more than welcome to ask me to describe it more in the comments)

Example of voice: Similar to Phoebe from the amazing show 'Friends', but higher and more childish.

6th - Bobby Joe XD
Label: "Listen to this cool story I have..." (previously was "The Fun Guy to Have Around")

Nationallity or accent: American (American accent)

Background: Bobby Joe is the type of people which always has exciting, smart, funny and mostly awesome stories to tell. He's funny, friendly, and sometimes even a good friend for a long long talk about life problems XD Thoguh, he's not naive and he could be a really good player in Total Drama.

Tone of voice: Bobby Joe has a rough voice, it is lower than average but still very teenager-ish. He doesn't have a bass voice, but his voice is low - not too much! - he is still a teen. (If you didn't understand what I'm talking about your'e more than welcome to ask me to describe it more in the comments)

Example of voice: -



7th - Diana :3
Label: "I Knew That! Girl"

Nationallity or accent: American (American accent)

Background: Diana is a super smart girl. She is a genius, litterally. She may not be very friendly nor the happiest person alive, but she is a walking genius nerd. She might be closed and introverted because of the laughs she gets from being that smart and being a basic nerd.

Tone of voice: Diana's voice comes from the nose, she has a very 'snobby' voice but she's not snobby at all. She has a normal voice, maybe a little higher but it sounds like she is talking with her nose closed (of course that it should be natural, and with a closed nose). (If you didn't understand what I'm talking about your'e more than welcome to ask me to describe it more in the comments)

Example of voice: -

8th -  Chad ;)
Label: "The Mean Popular Dude"

Nationallity or accent: American (American accent)

Background: As you can see this guy is pretty mean, pretty snobby too, his stereo-type is "The Popular Dude (+in High-School)". Though he's very very cruel and bad, he's not the main antagonist. Another thing I would say is that he has a look-a-like female partner, who together are the "kings of the class". we all know this annoying couple in school, the popular rich kids who always hates the other average, cheap, non-popular high-schoolers.

Tone of voice: Chad has a unique kind of voice. His voice is higher than normal to a boy, but he has a snotty, arrogant voice that comes like from a closed nose. He has a really 'mean' voice - think about it XD His voice is even a little feminine and not smooth. (If you didn't understand what I'm talking about your'e more than welcome to ask me to describe it more in the comments)

Example of voice: Any arrogant guy you can find :P



9th - Jade :>
Label: "The Mean Popular Girl"

Nationallity or accent: American (American accent)

Background: Jade is the rich, popular snobby and annoying girl in high school, her label is "The Popular Girl". She's always near Chad, and, like Chad, hates the other non-popular kids in class. Oh, and don't think she's Chad's side-kick, they are both kind of on the same level... (:

Tone of voice: Jade's voice is somehow similar to Chad's voice, she has a very high voice, annoying, mean, and arrogant. But her voice doesn't doen't come from her nose - it's more netural. Her voice is also smoother and softer.(If you didn't understand what I'm talking about your'e more than welcome to ask me to describe it more in the comments)

Example of voice: Any girl from mean girls - but a higher voice.



10th - Sandy :*
Label:  "Unicorn Crazy Lover"

Nationallity or accent: British accent (or American, if you fit to the character's voice)

Background: Sandy is entitled "Unicorn Crazy Lover", which is a short label to the amazing, colorful and mixed personality Sandy has. Basically, she's labeled that way because of her being crazly inlove with anything unicorn related, though this is not her only side to show. She's friendly, funny, exiciting and lovable. Maybe she sound terribly boring, let me just tell you - she's so energetic and random and full of suprises you wouldn't think she's the boring one (:

Tone of voice: Sandy has a very happy voice - a high voice, deep, screamy and a little bit anyoing. I though the best fitting accent for her is a British accent, but if you think you'll fit her well into a American accent, go for it! (If you didn't understand what I'm talking about your'e more than welcome to ask me to describe it more in the comments)

Example of voice: Alli Maning from 'Without You' but with higher voice (I know, nobody knows this series).

11th - Michael =)
Label: "Ar... tist?"

Nationallity or accent: Australian (Australian accent)

Background: Michael (which likes to add an 'angelo' to the and of his name') is a special artist. He is very modest, creative, and takes inspiration from everything he sees. He loves all kinds of arts but really likes drawing and painting. He is dedicated to painting and takes it as a way of life. He is not so smart, but charming, sweet and loves his surrondings no matter what, where or who.

Tone of voice: Michael has a very simple, normal, happy voice. Not too high, not to low, pretty average. Australian accent really fits him, but if you think you can do him with British or English accent, I don't think it'll be so good for him... (If you didn't understand what I'm talking about your'e more than welcome to ask me to describe it more in the comments)

Example of voice: - ==='''                                                                            12th - Rémi! === Label: '''"The French Kisser - Literally"

Nationallity or accent: French (French accent)

Background: Rémi is the french basic stereotype, but way more interesting. He isn't a snob like a french stereotype says. He is a wonderfull chef, a nice guy overall and the best at flirting with the ladies.

Tone of voice: Rémi has a very calming, romantic and sexy French voice. His voice isn't warm and deep, but it is very... Frenchy. (If you didn't understand what I'm talking about your'e more than welcome to ask me to describe it more in the comments)

Example of voice: -

13th - Daniel :3
Label: "The Always Smiling One. Always."

Nationallity or accent: American (American accent)

Background: Daniel is a very special character. She kind of resembels a girl in my class, who is always smiling, always happy, telling jokes, being socially active, maybe she isn't the smartest, the strongest, the funniest or the best mate (love related for her love, but those stuff never stand in her way to being helpful, a good friend and the best person she can be, well, this attidute never works 24/7, there are ups and downs...

Tone of voice: Daniel has a very perky voice, happy, squeaky, high pitched and soft. Try to think of someone who always smiles, she has a high pitched voice, right? Daniel always talks smiling so try to record the audition with a smile, when your'e auditioning to Daniel. Not too much! (If you didn't understand what I'm talking about your'e more than welcome to ask me to describe it more in the comments)

Example of voice: Similar to Sonny Munroe from Disney's "Sonny with A Chance".

14th - S. Deezy $
Label: "The -insert inspirational quote- Dude"

Nationallity or accent: Southren, Texas accent but not so hard, softer.

Background: S. Deezy is the coolest guy in the world, though he might seem so chill and the guy who takes it ~easy~, he's not like that almost at all. Deezy like living on the edge even if it means breaking some rules here and there, and sometimes his decisions and his extreme life may not always end good. If your'e feeling down, S. Deezy is the one to make you feel better in a minute or less.

Tone of voice: S. Deezy has a little bit of a high voice. Please do not take his 'Texas accent' as it mwans that he has a cowboy accent, it a softer more American-type of accent. Really suggest looking at the example! (If you didn't understand what I'm talking about your'e more than welcome to ask me to describe it more in the comments)

Example of voice: Shane Dawson's S. Deezy character! Look for it in YouTube :P

 

15th - Madison :)
Label: "The Super Sportive Girl"

Nationallity or accent: American (American accent)

Background: Madison is a really INTO SPORTS. like really into it. She loves sports, and her sports exercises and routine has influenced her own personallity- she is warm, always energetic and nothing can let her down. Madison might be competitive sometimes, challenge-wise or social-wise - she will try her everything to be loved by society.

Tone of voice: Madison voice is pretty normal, she has a girly high voice which is not very different from the rest. Make it unique! But not too much, stay on track XD (If you didn't understand what I'm talking about your'e more than welcome to ask me to describe it more in the comments)

Example of voice: -

16th - Celia :P
Label: "You Better Sleep with One Eye Open"

Nationallity or accent: American (American accent)

Background: Celia is all about being bad, and as her label states, when she's around - you better sleep with one eye open... While she might look like she's so gentle and won't harm even a fly, she's smart, astretigic, mean and will do everything to get in 1st place. EVERYTHING.

Tone of voice: Celia's voice is a very normal and averge teenage girl voice. It's just a tiny bit lower, but not too much. It's defintly not like Nicoel voice, it's a little higher but she does have that darker, meaner voice like she's always thinking about being bad. (If you didn't understand what I'm talking about your'e more than welcome to ask me to describe it more in the comments)

Example of voice: -

17th - Tim!
Label: "The Superstitions Believer"

Nationallity or accent: American (American accent)

Background: Tim is a superstitions freak, now if you don't know what superstitions are, they are long lasting beliefs about small things in your life that may happen and change your life for the good or for the bad. For example, as you can see in the picture to the right, Tim is holding a 4-leaf clover, which is a sign for luck and kind of a good luck charm. Same for the horseshoe drawing on Tim's shirt, it said to bring luck. Tim is a little bit shy and knows that not a lot like him, because his unusual life style, all based of his belief in superstitions. But that, he's smart, has a sense of humor, and interesting. Please do not count him as the new 'Harold', because he isn't a Harold styled nerd.

Tone of voice: Tim's voice is very geeky, shy, scared and shaky. By that I mean that his voice is higher than average, a little squeaky and like he's constantly scared. (If you didn't understand what I'm talking about your'e more than welcome to ask me to describe it more in the comments)

Example of voice: Cameron from 'Total Drama Revenge of the Island'.

Background: -

Tone of voice: The Mysterious character has a voice of a young teenager who hasn't had his voice changed to a deeper voice. It's a litly girly, higher than normal, but comes really naturally and isn't "screamy". (If you didn't understand what I'm talking about your'e more than welcome to ask me to describe it more in the comments)

Example of voice: Cody from "Total Drama Island"

19th - Chris McLean!
Label: "The Host with The Most!"

Nationallity or accent: Canadian (or American accent)

Background: Chris is the host of TDGW! Nothing more to say...:P

Tone of voice: Chris has a rough voice, not high, not low, very normal. I really recommand you watch some 'Total Drama' episodes to understand Chris' tone. But - you don't have to be exactly like Chris, if you can immitate him really well - go for it! If you have that radiophonic voice that is perfect for a host - go ahead! Audition for Chris!
