Penguins: The Series

Penguins: The Series

Project Overview

Hello everybody! This is a casting call for the first pilot episodes of a new Animated Series called Penguins. The purpose of this page is to find Voice Actors for a number of characters that are currently don't a voice actor. We're now looking for Artists and Animators too!

DEADLINES

The deadline for is March 17th, 2021. I ask that you send new files of the lines provided instead of demos from previous projects.

PLOT

Penguins follows the adventures of Gordon Simmons, Popper J. Penguin and Stevie J. Penguin. They all run a private detective agency in BlackTopp City, an island off the coast of Grimm Coastlines and The United States. These three... acquaintances solve crime no matter how strange, big or just flat out weird. But the story gets darker as it progresses.

WHAT WE ASK OF YOU

(This was Copied and Pasted from an example on the site)


  • First and foremost, have fun -- we take pride in bringing together talents in different mediums to create something truly phenomenal, but none of it means anything if the people involved aren't passionate about their craft. 

  • Please submit clean recordings on prosumer mics (no air conditioners in the background, no fans -- we don't mind performing noise reduction on your files, however too much clean-up reduces the quality of your voice). And speaking of clean-up -- please let us handle the post-production. Don't add effects to your lines -- leave that to our audio geniuses :) 

  • Feel free to cut your lines to your best/favorite takes. Three is the gold standard. We have a few voice actors that would rather give us more takes, and that's okay, too.

  • Send each line as a separate file. That way it will be easier in post production and animation.

Lastly, It's important to say that this project is UNPAID. The goal of this project is to gain enough money to pay our VA's and continue the series. Please leave your email in your recording so we can contact you about any changes in production. And more roles may come and go as the series continues. Thank you!

Tom (CLOSED)
open
Unpaid

While he may not be the biggest villain in the series right now, Tom is the most important. He is an extra-terrestrial being from "The Red Eclipse". A dimension where everything and nothing exists simultaneously. It served as Toms prison before he found a rift between this world and the one with BlackTopp City. Tom is a trouble maker. Usually he is very sarcastic, egocentric and self indulgent. As a non-physical being he takes the shape of a black cat with white eyes and white nose with a ghost complex. But as a physical being he is very angry and restless. He takes the form of a human with cat ears and a scientist uniform.

  • I've been here for hundreds of years... I've never been this close to freedom from this retched place.

  • My empire will destroy your world and there's nothing you can do.

cast offsite

The title can probably tell you what this role is for, but to explain it this role is for creating the main theme and credits music! What we're looking for is a high tempo noir styled jazz song and/or a theme in the style of Raymond Scott music (Powerhouse, The Penguin, Turkey in Twilight).

Stevie J. Penguin

Unpaid

This character is the brother of Popper J. Penguin. He's a psychotic manic Penguin with sharp teeth and an uncomfortably large collection of weapons of mass destruction. He has a bit of a deep squeaky voice (but not too deep. Kind of like a 12 year old's voice). If you need audio examples to better understand, I can send you some via Discord. Thank you!

  • I’ve been looking at your phone and checking your texts and voicemails, but I thought it was all a joke!

  • Uh Oh! …wanna watch The View while forgetting the task at hand?

  • Oh! That's what that room was!
