SECOND EDIT:

It looks like Billy and John have signed but ..... It's not completely over.  Lauren Tom and Phil Lamar and other supporting cast members have a battle going on with FOX about their pay.  We need everyone back ..... Come on FOX get it right already!!!!!!

My reply from the casting place:

This is an Automated Response:

Thank you for your submission for the casting of Futurama. Please note the following:

1.  We will do our best to answer any emailed questions, but questions from agencies and managers will take priority.

2.  If you are submitting an AUDIO AUDITION it MUST be a reading of the sides with your best match of the established characters, NOT a general VO Demo. Unfortunately, general VO demos will not be helpful for the re-casting of established characters.

3. Audio auditions MUST be in MP3 format. UPDATE: Good news everyone! I'll accept M4a auditions as well, due to overwhelming demand.

If you did not follow the above guidelines, no worries, just submit again following those guidlines.

The sides can be found on Sides Express or at the following link:

http://www.mysticla.com/Futurama/FuturamaSides.zip

The sides have links to clips of the show for use as reference.

When reading, please consider not only the voice, but the comedy as well. Auditions will be accepted until at least July 24th, 2009.

Thanks!!

Scott

I hope this is not going to happen .....

I don't think this is a good idea. As much as I would like to do this I want them to take this seriously and by going the "porno spam" route I think will hurt us more then help us......

BTW they are just the casting company, it is 20th Century FOX TV that has hired them .......

But I'm not saying you should spam FOX .......
