Hello everybody!
I'm Anja, a 2D animator currently working on my student final film called 'Amped Up' and I'm in need of 3 voice actors, Marco (Main character), Aiden and Penny!
Amped Up is a story about an ex guitarist Marco who fell from stardom, now working as a grocery store cashier his life is anything but remarkable. Part of him holds onto his musical past and the passion he lost, but despite his circumstances he gets given an opportunity to play again -- this time for a band in desperate need of a guitarist for an upcoming music festival. At first Marco is hesitant and fearful of his neglected guitar skills, but takes this one chance at doing something he yearns for most.
My film is approximately 3-4 minutes long, inspired by punk rock and early 2000s music. It's currently in pre-production and a script is still underway, somethings are subject to changes throughout production but I'll keep this updated consistently.
Preferrably be available in June and July 2025, to have the lines finalised and recorded
Have a good mic for recording lines !
Be able to communicate through Discord (instagram and email are also another option for those who can't!)
This is a remote volunteer position

Hi all!
Auditions are now closed!
Thank you all so much for your amazing auditions, I've listened to all of them MULTIPLE times and you've all given my characters so much life.
Script is still being finalised since I've made a lot of alterations to the animatic.
BUT BUT I have already begun shortlisting people for the three roles, so keep an eye out for any new updates!
All the best <3

Hello everyone!
I'm absolutely AMAZED by all of your auditions and I didn't expect so many talented voice actors who were interested in my final film project (it means so much to me thank you guys)
I've decided to move the deadline to the 26th of May! Since pre-production needs to be completed earlier than my original due date for auditions (assignment deadlines :,)
I've begun shortlisting some voice actors BUT I'll continue to review any new auditions until everything is finalised!
Thank you all so much and good luck <3

Marco Reed was once a Lead Guitarist for a rising rock band, but unforseen circumstances lead him down an unremarkable pathway as an employee at a local supermarket. However, after being sought out by a desperate singer in need of a guitarist, Marco takes the chance to try again.
Marco is an awkward adult, fearful of disappointing others and puts up a facade that he is confident in himself and his skills as a guitarist. He can get into his head when it comes to perfection and getting every beat right, pushing himself to the limit just to prove to the world he still has it in him to play.
Looking for a mature soft spoken voice for Marco who is in his 20s! Similar to Legoshi's english voice dub from Beastars!
[Marco working at the register, tired and monotone] Your total is 12.90 today sir, cash or card? Please scan your membership card again sir.
[Aiden: "you still play right? Guitar I mean?" Marco shrugs his shoulders looking away nonchalantly, putting up a confident facade when he hasn't touched his guitar in ages] Yeah yeah, on the occasion I play here and there, and some of our old songs back then y'know?
[Band practise haults, singer and the drummer look to Marco disappointed, Marco puts his guitar down exhausted] I'm sorry, it's been months, I don't know, maybe a year since I last played. I just wanted to give this all a try again, being in a band, performing... I'm sorry, we can try again?
Aiden is an enthusiastic and passionate singer with a deep love for music since he was a child. Forming his own mini rock band in hopes to make it big one day and to share his band's music to the world. However, after losing his lead guitarist only weeks before a big music festival, him and his drummer scramble for a replacement -- thus bumping into the retired ex Guitarist, Marco Reed.
Aiden is a very supportive and understanding friend, despite his situation he keeps his head up high and hopeful for his dream to perform on the big stage. Music is his life, he lives and breathes in it and he can't imagine doing anything else in his life. He is enthusiastic, loud and energetic, but he knows when to tone it down in serious moments.
For this role I'm looking for a mature male voice, slightly raspy and deep (if your voice sounds close to the singer of Echo Social Club on spotify, please send your submissions through :)) I'm utilising their music for Aiden's band.
[Aiden is beyond excited to recognise Marco] No freaking way?? Marco REED? Man I love your music, I remember you absolutely killing it on the stage!
[Aiden determined with a hint of doubt, reassures Marco after a couple of mistakes during practise] Hey man, don't sweat it I trust you and your work, lets try this again!
[Aiden defeated and exhausted after failing to recruit a guitarist (before marco) , he goes into the supermarket for snacks] Man, where the hell am I gonna find a guitarist, where are you guys hiding?
Penny Wilson is Aiden's highschool friend who joined him in his ambitious plans to make a band. Penny herself, loves to take out her energy on the drums, hitting every beat and brimming with excitement. Though she isn't as energetic as Aiden, she supports him and his dream despite how skeptical she is in him recruiting Marco.
She can be hardcore with a bit of attitude, blunt and is protective over Aiden, harsh on the outside but over time she can warm up to people.
Looking for a feminine mature voice for Penny, with a bit of attitude and sarcasm.
[Aiden beyond excited telling Penny he recruited Marco, Penny is skeptical] Thats- That's great to hear but are you sure he'll come? I mean have you heard about what happened to his band? I dunno man-
[Penny frustrated and her arms exhausted she stops playing during practise, clutching her arm in pain] Agh, goddammit! How many more times will it take for you to realise, we're getting nowehere with this??
[Aiden and Penny reviewing the lack of candidates for the lead guitarist role, Penny laid back playing with her drum sticks, sarcastically] Soooo, how's our list of "amazing" candidates? I'm sure we're being flooded with applications.
