![Beneath the Surface - [Animation] - {Need voice actors}](https://ddppjbdexhxzj.cloudfront.net/avatars/CCC_Cover_ANIMATION.svg)
This project is an animation written, made and produced by Chloe (me) and Mikey (my best friend)
~It is also an UNPAID project~
[We haven't exactly got a set date on when we will properly start making the animation. Well, the actual animation (made by Mikey) is going to be the last thing to be made, writing the script (me) and storyboard (both of us) will most likely take a while, which is why we're starting that now. We don't NEED all of the voice actors yet, we haven't even made the characters yet, but after I've planned the first episode storyline, me and Mikey will start creating and designing the characters.]
*More updates in future*
Story Plot - for the first episode
Start: Flashbacks to 90-100 years ago, when everybody lived in the village. Shows what happened and why they were moving their entire village underground because of these attacks happening every time they rebuilt their village.
Flashbacks end and group of people (main characters) are introduced.
I haven't planned any further than that so far, but I'm getting there.
Some quick rules:
1. Please do have discord, it's free, makes everything easier, keeping track of each voice actor and so on.
2. If you see multiple roles you like the look of, please audition for them! :P
3. Be nice to the others. -On Discord if you're chosen or on here in the comments- I know/hope you would be anyways and this doesn't need to be said, but I thought I'd say it just in case you know?
4. Please make sure your auditions are clear. If they aren't/are echo-ey or something, but theres a reason for that, eg- you're in a different place or something, please write that with your audition.
5. If you get chosen, please be committed to your role, especially if you are one of the more re-occurring characters. If you do find out you can not participate anymore, or may need to take a break for a while, please, if possible, give us a little while notice? If you really cant help it, we understand, but it would be truly helpful with some notice.
6. Have fun! We want you to enjoy this project. If chosen, I will friend you on discord and add you to the group chat. Which also requires you to leave your discord name underneath your audition :P
If you have been reading this description, you will know I am the one writing the script and story, with Mikey helping. I will try to make it as interesting as possible, and I do/will be asking Mikey for feedback throughout. He will read through the script, when I send it to him, and if he thinks there is anything that could be better, or slightly different, he will tell me.
* There are going to be more characters coming in later on, but as I said earlier, we haven't made them yet *
Also, the deadline date WILL be put back every now and then because we don't know when it's going to start.
- Quick reminder again: More info will be added later on, more character roles added too, more everything, but this is all Mikey and I have right now -
*We aren't casting anybody until we feel like we have the perfect person for that role OR we'd just like to see some others to have a bit of choice. Also, if you audition for a role, and we think you MAY be more suited for a different role/another role too, I will message you :P*
Enjoy!
Voice: Not winey or bunged up. Needs to be clear, maybe calm-ish? Not like David Attenborough, thats too calm, or like the ones that voice kiddie stories, just needs to be like, alright.
Pitch: Not to high, not too low
So far, the narrator will only be in the first episode, but depending on what happens later in the series, may be chosen to voice an actual character *Will be asked beforehand though* The Narrator isn't going to be throughout the whole thing, every time there is a flashback, a long one, the Narrator will be voicing it, but I don't know how often that will be so if you audition, please don't expect pages of lines.
- This is listed as an extra/minor because of how little it might be in there -
-normally- There stood the village of Fortey, surrounded in bright, beautiful nature, flowers.
Everything was calm, peaceful, even when it was raining, everyone still went out and about to greet their friends, neighbours, even the barn animals.
Nobody knew where it came from, it just... appeared.
