I've only got the early scenes finished, but I thought I'd start looking into who I could get cast ASAP. Here's the overall pitch:
STAR WARS
The Adventure of Raith Vellar
It is a time of great upheaval in the galaxy. With the Clone Wars raging on, it has become increasingly difficult for the Jedi to maintain peace and order.
Many underworld organizations have taken advantage of this situation. Their increased activity has increased their profit margins, making them even more greedy.
Unfortunately, criminals do not like to share or to compete. This has led to many putting very large bounties on each other's heads . . . .
ACT ONE - SCENES 1 & 2 CAST
Raith Vellar - A Human smuggler.
Daesha Fenn - A Twi'lek female; former slave, now Raith's copilot.
Bounty Hunter 1 - A low-ranking hunter in a cantina.
Bartender - A friend of Raith's
If you're interested, PM or e-mail me for a portion of the script to use for your "audition".
Thanks.

I would send you the script, and you record your lines to WAV format, using a simple computer mic and Sound Recorder utility.
Once I have everyone's lines, I start compiling them together into conversations, and add background sounds and sound effects to fill out the scene.
No camera, no costumes, no choreography. Just verbal acting.
And, as I'd be adding some ambient sounds, music, and sound effects to a fanfilm, this actually ends up being less work overall.
I can send you a rough script tomorr . . . er, later today, if you're still interested.

Seeing as I'm new at this, is there some demos I can check out? It seems like it could be a lot of fun.

Ok, I caught some of those.
I just have to see if the stupid mic still works. I may have lost the recording utility in a format. Old computer, but it does me well...
Ok, Got it! Cheapie mic that came with computer still works. Hope you like your sound in GLORIOUS MONO!

Mono is good - I can re-sample it into stereo if needs be, too.
I've got all sorts of audio mixing and sampling software that I also use for mixing music for the bands I've been in. The stuff comes in handy for all sorts of things.

You can actually get some relatively cheap decent sounding mics at Best Buy that will work on your PC. The trick though is, don't buy a mic from the computer area. Go to the music/cds area and get one that comes with 1/4 adapter. Dramatically improve the quality of your recording.

Thanks, Keith!
You can also go to Radio Shack and get the 1/4" to 1/8" adapter for around $5. A decent (but not exceptional) vocal mic from the Shack runs around $30.
I use the same adapter to run from the line-out on my amp to the line-in on my sound card. Very handy li'l device.

I'll have to check into that too; I'm all new to this, so it's good for me to learn whatever I can.

I'd be intersted in in auditioning.
If you'd like to hear example of various projects I've provided voices for visit the Star Wars fan works site, and in the people section, nad look for Michael Smith.
If you would still like me to record a line, let me know.

John, I'd be up for whatever role you might need. Just sort of "jack of all trades-ing" these days. Just like Michael, my full list of various works to check out would be in the Fanworks people section under Butler, Nathan P.

Well, for the early scenes, I just need to cast Raith, a bounty hunter, and a bartender. Provided that -E- takes on the copilot role, I can get the first act put together and bounced to stereo rather quickly.

Wow, I know I've been real bad about getting you those samples; it's just that (I swear) I'm shy.
I was wondering...how is her personality to you? There are several ways that she could be approached; I have my ideas, please tell me yours.

Hey, sorry it's taken so long for me to get in touch, but I've been staying in a relatives house in the boonies with no internet to speak of.  (I'm doing this from a public terminal.) Unfortunately, I'm going to be here at least another week, so unless you guys feel like you have all the time in the world, I'm not going to be reliable for any sort of recordings.
When I came down here, I didn't know the computer was on the fritz, or I would have let you know days ago. Phooey. Anyway, hope things go smoothly with the rest of the project.
