Casting Call - Great Responses

We put out our casting call on StarNow this week, and we have had a great response.

By far and away, we have had the most applicants for Daria, the female lead and love interest of Gabe and Evan (and, Pascual, for a brief time).

Next, we have had the most interest in the role of Gabe, then Marie, and Evan.

If you want to apply for a role, you can do it by applying on StarNow -or- you can e-mail your CV, including a head and body shot and an optional link to a showreel (even a YouTube video of you reading a poem - but not singing - is great), to casting@AangryAardvark.com.

I have really struggled to balance my commitment to openness with wanting to do what's right for the people applying.  What I DON'T want to do it to discourage anyone from applying - the 71st Daria might be the PERFECT person!  I also don't want to discourage the 69 Daria's that won't get the role.  Or, maybe, in seeing that there is a huge number of applicants for this role, it will make it easier if you don't get the part.  I don't know - I'm not an actor and don't have a lot of experience on that side of the equation.  Leave your opinion in the comments.

Some other things of note: I spelled "Enthusiastic" in "Enthusiasic Female Student" incorrectly on the listing (fixed it here).  Did anybody notice that?  I hand't until I copied and pasted it into this blog entry and my spell checker quacked at it.  And, of course, you can't change the listings once someone has applied.  Le sigh....

We've had some great people apply for all of the roles.  Many of them have indicated that if they didn't get a lead, that they'd be willing to do just about any other role.

Thank you, all of you who have applied for a role.  We wish that we had a whole cast of Darias and Gabes and... a leading role for all of you.  But, alas, it cannot be.  You're all stars in my eyes.
