I'd say the paid section with every single role having a note as to whether they're paid or not.

I do have to ask why, though? You'll be inundated with auditions for the paid roles and only have a few auditions for the unpaid roles, and it'll likely make those who get the unpaid roles feel a little shafted. Even a token payment like $5 would be useful.

Because I literally cannot afford to pay for all the roles. ;;
Believe me, if I could, and when I can, I will, but for now I'm barely able to support myself.

Like not even 5 dollars each, I'm that strapped for income.

I truly feel awful about it but I don't know what else I can do.

In this case, what I recommend is to not pay. None of the roles. Make it unpaid, with a "If we become successful/get a Patreon going, I'll be willing to pay!" I understand payment will encourage people to audition, but if you're strapped for cash I'm sure people will understand. Plenty of unpaid stuff still turns out well, and segues into paid stuff easily!

^ What Lumisau said. I've actually never seen a project with only certain roles paid before (unless it was a matter of them having to pay for a "celebrity" cameo or something), and if you really don't have a lot of money to spare there are plenty of people here who are just looking to get experience and I'm sure they'd still be happy to audition. If you look at our unpaid projects section you will see there are quite a few projects there. Some don't get a lot of auditions, but there are plenty of them that do as well---making your post clear and well-formatted and having a project that seems interesting will go a long way.

If you still decide you want to toss a few bucks as "coffee money" to the VAs afterward, I'm sure they'd appreciate it a lot!

Well crap. I already posted the paid roles in the paid section and have the roles listed as paid on Casting Call Club. Not that I have gotten more than 1 audition for the roles, total. @@

If you decide you'd rather list it as an unpaid project, one of us will be happy to move your thread for you.
