A Dance of Lions: 3D Animated Short film| Casting for Male voices

Project Overview

A dance of Lions

Set in medieval West Africa and featuring a fight sequence between two great Warriors, we explore themes of love, loss and vengeance.The battle is modelled after the epic fight sequence in Troy where one warrior dies and the other is left feeling empty and without closure. On the side of the warrior that gets killed, we see his brother and the general’s reaction as the fight progresses. 


WHAT WE ASK OF YOU

  • 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. However please at least remove the takes you don't want to be featured.

  • Please submit your recordings as one .wav file.

  • We do occasionally ask for line re-dos, but we do this sparingly and only after great consideration - we realize your time is valuable, and we won't ask for anything we can't work around in edits.
