Voice Over Casting Call

Casting Call Info

Who we are:
Dipsea is a female-founded startup behind the first audio platform for women’s sexual wellbeing. Our team is pioneering a new kind of sensorial audio storytelling that helps women tap into their inner sexual powers and awaken their most confident, invigorated selves. Our best stories feel real: they’re believable, they’re relatable, and that all depends on incredible voice talent.

What we’re looking for:
We’re seeking voice actors with male, female, and androgynous voices. Voices that sound between the ages of 20-50 are ideal.

Available roles:
The characters in our stories sound like real people. Monologues should be natural and conversational, as though the character is talking directly to the listener, or saying their thoughts out loud. We want to feel like the actor is experiencing what the character is going through. Voice acting for Dipsea is a new art: it’s not commercial voice work, nor is it audiobook narration. It involves digging deep into your emotive ability, and using your own imagination to create the scene without any other actors present. Stories range in length from 10-20 minutes, typically limiting studio time to 2.5 directed hours for lead roles, and 1-1.5 directed hours for supporting roles. Our stories go far beyond the sex scene--our characters have relationships that are safe, respectful and consensual.

What we’ll need:
Demo auditions can be recorded remotely on your phone (or a home studio if you have one). If you are accepted for our database, we’ll send you auditions that we think might be a good fit for you. Casting will be continuous and ongoing.

We do recordings both remotely and within the San Francisco Bay Area. If you have a solid home studio, we will tune in via Skype to direct you during the session. After the session, we request a raw, unedited .wav file from you. If you live in the SF Bay Area and need to come into a studio, we can record directly with you. For actors outside the SF Bay Area, we can usually provide a local studio where you can record. In these instances, we will also tune in remotely during your studio session.


Rates and other details:
We’re currently non-union and offer $200 per directed hour of studio time. We are looking to build sustainable, long-term partnerships with our voice actors. We cast and produce new stories every week.

Please expect 6-8 weeks after submitting an audition for our review. Due to the high volume of submissions, we will be in touch only if we choose to move forward with your audition. If you don't hear back from us, please feel free to wait a couple months and re-submit after listening to more Dipsea stories.

Thank you for auditioning! We look forward to listening.
