CASTING CALL
• CASTING CALLS CLOSED NOVEMBER 30TH 2024 •
• This is a solo-run independent passion project created to reimagine the story of “Five Nights at Freddy’s” •
• This animated tribute has no affiliation with Scott Cawthon or the official “Five Nights at Freddy’s” franchise •
One of the most anticipated FNAF fan projects ever…
Around September of 2023, with the ongoing success of Fredbear’s Family Diner, I knew I wanted to have a go at a second season that explored concepts and settings from the first two games in the franchise - which are also my personal favourites.
While I’ve done my best to voice Henry Emily, Jeremy Fitzgerald, Michael Afton and our favourite, purple-themed villain William Afton, I knew going into this second series it was time to call upon the community to bring some more talent into this second series!
CHARACTER ROLES
The Fazbear Four
The Fazbear Four roles are the lead roles in this project. These mascots become possessed by the souls of the Missing Children, with the spirits communicating through their voice boxes. You can expect a wide range of emotions to be in store for the parts!
The animatronics also perform a variety of showtunes throughout the story, including a number of singing segments. A combined skillset of voice acting and singing is preferred, however roles can/may be split into two, with an actor and a singer sharing the role of a band member!
Auditioning for VOICE: Please use the provided lines - additional original phrases are also encouraged!
Auditioning for SINGING: To compare vocal performances, please sing a snippet of your best rendition of the provided Elvis Presley song!

A-well a-thank you very much Ladies and Gentlemen! I am indeed your host with the most; Mr Freddy Fazbear! In case you’re lost, I’m the handsome fella up front with the little top hat and the big bow tie, haha! We’ve got an incredible show ahead of us, and me and the band here are going to rock you and roll you like you’ve never did-done-seen before!
Possession Hours (Somber)
I never asked you how long you’ve been here… Stuck like this? … Do you remember much of the before time? It’s all fuzzy for me now. And not fuzzy like my fur… Fuzzy like, you’re trying to see through fog - real thick fog… And you’re squinting and a-squeezing and trying to see but you just can’t break through… I worry soon there may come a time where there’s nothing more to see…

We gotta be puttin’ on the finest show we can for these finest of folks! Best get to tuning my guitar. Hey, that reminds me - Freddy! What’s the difference between a piano and a fish? … You can tune a piano, but you can’t tune a fish! Hahaaa!
Possession Hours (Scared, Comforting)
Hello? Anybody out there? … M… Momma? Where are ya mom? Why can’t I find you? I… I’m scared momma? I wanna go home… Why can’t I go home? Please!? Somebody?! Anybody?! Let me out! Please! Let me gooo!

Come on now boys, no time for yappin’ or dilly-dallyin’! We’ve got dinner and a show to put on! I can see you’re all digging into my bakes and cakes down there! Ooop! Looks like someone’s enjoying his pizza a little too much… Sweetie - make sure ya chew before ya swallow, ya hear? “Sigh”, Foxy - why don’t you play us in so we can start grooving and shaking our tail feathers!
Possession Hours (Frustrated)
Bonnie?! Get off me?! This isn’t the time for a hug! I don’t care how long it’s been for you; all I care about is getting outta here… What do you mean you’ve tried every door? What about the back door? What about the- … And the-… But you’ve tried the-… Alright! I get it...

Audition Lines
Showtime Banter (Wisecracking)
Eeyy! Of course girl, anything for you’s! But I ain’t doing it for the Fuzballs down there. You should hear ‘em two talking when you’s ain’t around. This mornin’ Teddy Bear here convinced Cotton Tail he was the colour blue instead of the colour purple! Even I thought that was a pretty good joke so I turned to Freddy and told him… “Hey, that purple joke, GRAPE job!” “Ba-Dum-Tiss”
Possession Hours (Hysterical)
It’s simple, right? This is all some kinda whacked out dream. Like a lucid dream or whatever. It looks and feels and sounds real but I’m not really here, right? Not really stuck in this neon nightmare. And neither are you! You’re all just figments of my imagination! I must be going loco - losing my mind… Wait, ow, Chica?! Ok alright alright!!? I get your point! … My dream theory still stands though…
Audition Song: “Jailhouse Rock”
The Missing Children
The Missing Children are the kids who eventually come to possess the animatronics. They are featured in a shorter but significant part of each episode, leading into their untimely demise at the hands of the murderer…
I’m looking for both age authenticity, mannerisms, and a great character within these voices. Their story roles and personalities are set in stone, but their sound is ours to create. Where’s Tara Strong when you need her!

Thank you for Auditioning!
Firstly, I wanted to reach out and thank you wholeheartedly for auditioning for "Freddy Fazbear's Pizza Palace" - the second series of my "First Night as Freddy" saga!
After tallying up all the results, the final submission count was 424 Individual Artists Submitting, with 822 Unique Character Auditions across the board! WOW!
As there are way more entries than I could have ever dreamed of, it's going to take me a while to go through and carefully review everyone's submission. I most likely won't have final results till early next year.
First comes the Shortlist, followed by Callbacks/Revisions, followed by a Final Call/Interview. By the end of those three stages, we will have our final Fazbear Four and our colourful cabaret of supporting characters!
Whether you're advancing onto the next step, or I have to thank you and bid you farewell, I will reach out individually and keep you in the loop as the weeks go by. Although you and I know it's never really a goodbye... friends who FNAF together, stay together!
I'm also currently in the deep end of writing, animating, voicing, editing, and finishing the finale for Fredbear's Family Diner! This last episode of Series 1 is incredibly important for wrapping up Evan's story in a satisfying/emotional way, but it's also setting the stage for Series 2! It's a lot of work for a solo animator to tackle, so it's going to take some time for me to give everyone the proper attention, listening, and reading time you all deserve.
If you'd like to show additional support for the work I do, see exclusive behind the scenes content, be the first to hear the finalist VA's, or want to come and join in with my live streams on Discord, feel free to join the crew over on Patreon (link below)!
Now, with that little plug out of the way, I need to get on with animating The Bite of '83 and listening to the rest of these awesome voice lines!
Best of luck to each and every one of you!
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me on the channel email! firstnightasfreddy@gmail.com
