@Aley yes.

Some roles can be either as noted, but the ones that are a specific gender are that way for specific reasons.

Would you prefer it if the men attempted to emulate Humphrey Bogart’s accent? Or are we good with natural voices?

I would prefer you put your own take on the scene and not try to emulate Bogart.

I have a pretty thick Scottish accent and my voice is very high for that of a boy so I think I'll just spread this around the site. It's a great opportunity though and I wish you all luck! :D

I'd love to try, but school is reopening soon and I won't have time to practice. But good luck to everyone trying.
