WHO WE ARE
Hello everyone! My name is George Keller and I am the creator of Adventure Stories ASMR. I created a channel almost a year ago dedicated to asmr videos, and gradually they have evolved into partially animated stories.
We just passed the 10,000 subscriber milestone and I wanted to commemorate the occasion with something extra special. An animated movie that show cases many of my all time favorite characters.
With something this big I realized I needed some serious help so I have already reached out to my fans and fellow Youtubers for help. We have most of the cast done but we do need a few roles. But the big thing we need are animators.
WHAT WE NEED
We need voice actors, animators, and one composer for the film.
I'm not expecting anime level animation, heck I would be happy with something just a bit more animated then what I have now.
Here's an example of the kinds of videos I make all by myself:
I normally use still photos of anime characters I find online and then slide them around and tilt them to make "animations". I recently started adding in still photos of new poses from my fans to try and spice things up. Now I'd like to go to the next level and add in actual fighting animations, talking animations, and walking animations. Maybe even some custom backgrounds that move and have animated leaves or burning buildings.
THE STORY
The world of Emaerya is being taken over by an ancient demon that is spreading plague and pestilence across the land. Everything it touches either dies or becomes a mindless slave to his will. Now, a set of heroes from many different worlds will come together to save the world before it is lost forever. The heroes will be a mixture of new characters and the all time favorites of my channel.
There will be large scale battles, fantasy monsters, magic, burning buildings, cute chibi characters, and epic landscapes.
DEADLINE
There is no set deadline for delivery of the animations. I would guess with the sheer amount it would add up to 2-3 months. It might even go into the fourth month.
***Since I am not paying much, I am allowing for plenty of time for delivery of lines and animation. If you need a break just let me or the lead animator know. If you need to leave the project then let us know and we can try to find a replacement for you.***
COMMUNICATION
All communication will be through Discord and will be sent to those whom are cast.
COMPENSATION/CREDIT
You will receive a nominal fee as posted. I wish I could do more but I need to stay within budget. I will of course put your names in the ending credits as well as in the description of the video. If any of you have social media or Youtube channels then please let me know so I can add those to the description.
This is an excellent opportunity to stretch what you can do and get your work seen by millions of people. Same goes for the voice actors and composer.
A lesson was learned from our past project called Lustrias. We grew so fast we could no longer pay everyone involved and it fell apart. This time we are asking those who love their craft and want to make something incredible together.
HOW TO AUDITION AS AN ANIMATOR
Present us with at least three animations you have personally made so we can evaluate if you would be a fit for this project. But fear not, we have one more project coming for Halloween, so if you don't get into this one you can get into the next one. Show us your best work as well as what an average piece for you is. That way we can get an accurate representation of your skills and limits. We will try to match your natural skills with the right department. Background artists should audition for backgrounds, character artists for characters, etc.
HOW TO AUDITION AS A VOICE ACTOR
Pick the role or roles you feel you closely match and send us the file with each line said three times. Try to make each take different in some way. Maybe more anger or less anger, higher inflection or lower inflection. Maybe even try different accents. Having fun while auditioning is key to having an easy and stress free recording.
Thank you again for auditioning with us and feel free to ask as many questions as you wish.

This is an ancient monster from thousands of years ago. The greatest evil of all. He has a very deep and mature voice that could rattle the world. Also he is pure evil and doesn't have an ounce of remorse in his voice. You should get chills up your spine listening to this thing. Use growls, ghostly breaths, clicks of the tongue, whatever you feel fits the character.
This line is very deep, dark, and said with malice in the voice. Think something big commanding its army across the field.
"Abos Sil Mar! (Ah-bohss Seal Mar)"
This line is said to another character whom he is trying to seduce to joining him. Be both evil to the core and yet masking it behind this fake façade of normalcy.
"Molak seer ren, ad dolskar me'. Invectar zulkash daemar! Silu ren odosh raelom e'r kadur." (Moh-lak see-er ren, awd dole-scar may. Eeen-veck-tar zool-kawsh day-mar! Sealoo ren oh-doh-sh ray-lohm air kah-doo-re.)
In this line the evil lord is pissed off and letting his inner demonic side run free. Be as evil and conniving as possible. Let those lower growls come in as well as the higher gritty breaths.
"Gordur avak grimor! Nash ashil doran me'. Daemar gil'esk zulvek ad parasek! Fellgar odesh a'sil, gorad ren morgal'sar!" (Gore-dew-re ah-vawk gree-more! Nawsh ah-seal door-ann may. Day-mar gill-esk zool-vehk awd para-sehk! Fell-gar oh-desh ah-seal, goh-rod ren more-gall-sar!)
This general is a veteran whom has fought in many wars in his long military career. He is seasoned and educated, but does have a sense of humor. He has a lower middle aged voice that could command an army. Strong, focused, and stubborn.
This is said at a large battlefield as he tries to rally his men.
"Men of Dagonfell, hear me now! Do not let them see your fear, you men of the Mezaline! (Meh-zah-lean!) Our fore fathers fought as one people to save our kingdom. And we shall honor them this day as we fight as one! Stand with me brothers and fight to the last man. Fight!!!!"
Another battle, now as they join multiple different forces in the battlefield.
"Form the line! Form the line! To me!....Chaaaaaaaaarge!"
After the battle as he talks with the heroes.
"Well done out there, I haven't seen such skilled warriors in my entire life. Are you sure I can't convince you all to stay here and join the royal army? We could use able men and women such as yourselves."
This is the goblin king, a huge monstrous creature weighing over a thousand pounds and yet can still walk. This thing should have a deep voice with some garbles and mumbles mixed in as he searches for the right words. He is a bit of a fool but not a complete fool.
Welcoming but angry at the same time. He doesn't like intruders.
"Well, well, if isn't Madam Crane and her band of wannabes. *laughs deeply eventually wheezing* Ahhh! Bullocks I says. You shouldn't be here in my dungeon and you know it. So now you face the consequences."
Hearing their story then laughing in their faces at how stupid it sounds.
"What? Is that all? *laughs uproariously* You stupid people never learn, *turns dark and foreboding* no one steals me treasure. Understand! Now throw them in the cells and put on the oil. We're gonna have ourselves a feast!"
Angry and desperate to get them back.
"Get them! First one of yeahs to gets them will have the head. Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Don't let them escape!!! Rrrrrrrrrrraaaahhhhhhhhh!!!!!!"
As the lead animator you have many responsibilities. First and foremost you will be in charge of collecting, inspecting, and evaluating all animations from the animation team. You will make sure they are keeping up with the work, and ask if they need more help or time. You will make sure the animation is as consistent as possible for maximum quality. You will make suggestions on how they can improve the animation so that we get the best possible work. Any questions or final deliveries will be sent to me for review.
You also will be in charge of some of your own animation work. More detailed animations that need an experienced animator. Things like battle sequences and a custom made opening sequence.
Only the most qualified applicant with the best animation quality will be chosen for the lead.
Please attach at least three examples of your past work. Only your best work so we can see what you're truly capable of.

As a character animator you will be responsible for making 2-3 characters and animating them as specified. So you will: create the character, add talking animations with lip sync, walking animations, fighting animations, idle animations, and a few specific animations to that character.
We will provide concept art or previous art from the show to help you in the character creation portion. We will also provide examples of animations or actions needed for the character. We will also provide general frame rate and length info. But the rest will be up to you to decide how to do it.
If you have any questions or suggestions then please see the lead animator or myself.
Please attach at least three examples of your work. Give us a range of your average to best work for comparison.

As a background animator you will be responsible for making between 6-8 backgrounds and where needed making layers for animation. Nearly all of them will have at least something animating in the background. Could be a flaming torch, sparkling night sky with clouds, a rat crawling across the stone floor, etc.
We will provide concept art or previous art from the show to help you in the creation process. But most of this will be up to your imagination. Go wild and let it soar because this world is full of fantasy, magic, and alien landscapes.

As the main composer for the special, I'll need you to make an absolutely amazing main theme like something out of The Lord of the Rings meets Krull. I need someone with ample experience and can prove they can deliver a hit main theme.
Please attach at least three tracks of your best work. More would be even better so we can see your range.

This is the queen of darkness herself. The sorceress with the power to summon demons.
She is ruthless and cunning. With a lower sultry register that can just as easily turn dark and deadly. Think Lady Dimitrescu, or Cruella Deville.
She needs to have the maturity and strength to bring anyone to attention. She also needs to have this smooth, sultry, seductive side too.
As far as accents I would guess British, Irish, and Scottish might be a good fit for her.
"Your path ends here heroes. You've put up a good fight, but this is where you shall die! (maniacal laughter)
"Madam Crane, how foolish of you to send children to fight for you. I would have thought better of you, I was wrong."
"Kamara! I have waited 60 long years for this moment. Now, I shall have my revenge, and watch your pretty head be crushed between my fingers!"
