W:TAS- What's Up This Month

Well, TDP readers, April has come and gone, but not without leaving its own marks on The Animated Series. Here's a quick look at what Bracken and the team have been up to.

Auditions
Auditions have been chugging along on the Warrior's Wish forums.

Please congratulate all the new people who have taken roles- Especially Tara for her Lionheart, Kitsufox for starring as Yellowfang, Scourge for taking Ravenpaw, Barkpaw for playing Smudge, Icy for playing Sandpaw, and Darkstar for Graypaw. I myself will be playing Redtail.

There are still many cats to play- just keep auditioning!

Vicky's Response
As many of you know, there was a series of Erin Hunter gatherings around the USA recently. One of the crew members of TAS was actually there and on site to meet Vicky Holmes. The crewmember, Blackheart, actually got to show Vicky a 10-second, full-color trailer Bracken whipped up for her. She apparently thought that it was 'brilliant' and congratulated Bracken on her animating abilities. We hope that's just a precursor of what's going to happen at the EH chat- see below.

What's Going On Next Month
A quick sneak preview of what Bracken and crew are planning in the month of May!

Erin Hunter Chat
As many of you know, there's a Wands and Worlds, real-time chat that will occur with the Hunters on the 12th. Crew members are definitely planning on being there, and hopefully there will be some reaction by the authors to TAS. We can only hope!

Auditions
As always, we'll be doing auditions next month. Bracken says that we're planning on continuing minor character roles, as well as major roles for Book 2. Stay tuned, and be ready to audition!

Scripting
Kitsune informs me that all the chapters in Into the Wild have already been snapped up by eager script writers. Good work guys! We plan to get most of them done and posted on the official Script Site- check the thread on the WAP board at the Warrior's Wish Forums for more information.

Needs
TAS has a few needs; maybe -you- can fill them.

Male voices Without sounding sexist, I can say this- Warriors is not a male-oriented fandom. And thus, we are in quite a bit of trouble for male voices. While such members of WW as Blackheart, Grassy, Scourge and I will do our best, there are only a few of us for so many necessary male roles. We need male voices very badly. So, if you know any male Warriors fans get them here, and get them auditioning- we need it!
