Summary:
Hello there! This is a casting call for short animations for my comic series Nooklier ! It is an animal crossing AU, which focuses on Tom Nook and Crazy Redd's complicated history and relationship.
This project is for fun , however I wish for the animations produced to be high quality in terms of voice acting. You can see what the animations will look like here . This will be long term and there will hopefully be multiple animations/animatics.
More roles will be added soon!
Deadlines and Auditions:
Voice actors are expected to finish lines and send them to me within a week. Extensions to the deadline can be made, depending on circumstance. The auditions may be extended, depending on how many audition , or if we feel we still have not found the right voices. DO NOT audition, should you not have enough time or commitment.
What we ask of you:
- Enjoy yourselves and have fun with this! These animations are purely for fun and we would not want anyone stressing over them. Keep this in mind, however deadlines are still important, so consider whether you are able to keep to them or not.
- Have a high enough quality microphone, with minimal background noise and clear sound. Do not worry about editing - leave that to us.
-Submit recordings as one file and in wav or mp3 format. This saves lots of time.
-Commitment . We would like the voices in the animations to be consistent.
What to Expect:
- Communication will be done through discord and emails, but primarily discord.
- A script has not been written yet, but will be written depending on how many are casted.
Reddrick is the Lovers in Crime version of Redd! See here: https://www.instagram.com/p/CC9ZBu2pBfF/?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet He is persuasive, sly and suave. These traits must be reflected in his voice. If possible, but not essential, he should have a new york accent.
Voice is medium to high ranged male.
(cheerful, loving) I really admire your ambition but.. as long as I'm with you - I'll be happy! I don't need money.. I don't need power. All I need is you, a few gigs and I think I'm fine.
(confident, slightly flirty) Ah don't worry,my darling. I am certain everything will go to plan. After all I have a few... 'friends' to help me out, should you get into trouble. (sincere) I will make sure you're safe... even if it puts myself in danger.
(flustered, panicked) Oh my! It's that hot guy who lives opposite me!!! Uhh.. thank you for coming to my show! Really, I'm very new to this whole singing thing...
This version of Tom Nook is (on the outside) very kind and generous, but is secretly very money and power hungry as well as a master manipulator. He is very well spoken and should be able to sound both threatening and gentle. He is incredibly ambitious to the point where it has consumed him and makes him obsess over money and power (think Macbeth, Hamilton)
Voice should be medium or low ranged male sound.

(ambitious, excited) I want a house on this hill!! A winding driveway!! With trees- no flowers! It'll be perfect - I'll run the banks and I'll run this city's economy, making us richer... and the best part - you'll be by my side.
(confident, cocky) You consider yourself a threat? (laughs) Please, I don't think you understand what you're up against. So I will ask one last time - and I will not ask again - 'Forget what you saw and leave us alone'.
(generous, friendly) I donated a large sum of money to the orphanage... you see , I was an orphan too.
Blathers would have any range of male voice, with an English accent. Blathers is well spoken and friendly.
Character:
Blathers is the owner of the museum on Nook's island. He is very friendly and knowledgeable and despises bugs.
(determined) You see the development of the island's museum is a worthy endeavour indeed!!
(just woken up) WHO??! Oh goodness, sorry about that!
(disgusted)... w-what a hideous creature....
Isabelle would have a cheerful, lively and bubbly female voice. Voice should be high or medium ranged female.
Character:
Isabelle is optimistic and friendly, always willing to help!
(surprise, embarrassed) Oh! There I go again prattling on about my personal hobbies!
(cheerful) Welcome to our island!! Mr Nook made sure everything is nice and in order!
Wilbur is a normally relaxed and friendly person. Has a low to medium ranged male voice.
(uncomfortable) That man.... I don't understand why Nook trusts him. Especially after what he did..
(friendly) Over, do you require assistance?
Orville is the twin brother of Wilbur and is very optimistic and friendly. He's always ready to help. Voice high to medium ranged male.
*excited* Hi there! Welcome to Dodo airlines! How may I assist you?
*declarative* I'm the oldest out of us both!
Sable is the oldest of the able sisters. She should sound tired but calm, with a soft voice. Medium to low ranged female voice.
Character:
Sable is the oldest of the able sisters and is very nurturing and kind, but can come across a bit cold and disinterested to those she doesn't know, due to her introverted nature.
(nostalgic) Ah... yes .. I've known Mr Nook for a very long time.. we've been friends since we were little.
Mr Tsunekichi is Redd's dad. He is friendly, optimistic and tells awful jokes. His voice would be medium to high ranged male voice.
Character:
Mr Tsunekichi is a painter who left his corporate job to spend more time with his family and pursue his passion of art and comedy.
(impressed) Wow Redd!! That's a beautiful painting!!! I suppose your dad's skills carried over. (chuckles)
(serious, calm) Lyle, I appreciate it... but I have a different life now. *cheerful* Well. See you around!
(embarassed,happy) I got very embarrassed! Do I really look that young?
Lyle is a middle aged business man , with a low to medium ranged male voice. He is very cold and serious and is Redd's step father.
Character:
Lyle is the step father of Redd and is very traditional and harsh, with very high standards. He is cold, but will have moments of emotion - a different side to him which few see.
(serious) Please, come back to the project, Tsunekichi. Your work is valued and we could create something excellent.
(worried), distressed * W-what did you do to her.... GET AWAY FROM HER!
(casual) The good, the bad, the so-so... make them all work for you...
Redd is a con artist who sells furniture and art in the city. He is the adoptive father of Aoi and Ki. Should have a medium to high ranged male voice. Something alike to Redd in the Dobutsu no Mori movie (see 43:02 on this video for reference). DO NOT DO AN IMPRESSION - but something natural and alike.
(disappointed) Huh? What do you mean you're still angry?! It was only a few bells...
(proud) Look at the two of you... all strong and grown up - it gets me emotional, y'know!!! (happy) Now light this match and burn that tanuki's plaza.
Tom Nook is a business owner in the city and is rather calm. He should have any ranged male voice, with a calm sounding tone, but able to change to firm tone.
(sigh) What do you want , Redd? If it's bells I don't have any.
(happy) Timmy! Tommy! You two are up early. Finally taking my advice, hm?
Aoi is the male twin of Ki and one of Redd's helpers. He's mean on the outside and despises Timmy and Tommy. He should have a boyish, youthful sounding voice.
(excited) Woah! Tsunekichi will love these! Let's take them back and show them to him!!!
(taunting) Oh look! It's the racoon orphans!! What brings you here? Bells?
Ki is the twin sister of Aoi. She is sweet and friendly and would have a medium or high pitch, cute female voice.
(excited) Yeah! He's gonna love these!!!
(cheerful, sweet) Hi Tommy!! I like your new apron!!
