Captain Murdoch is the obsessive and commanding captain of a 19th-century whaling vessel, driven by a relentless pursuit of a mythical siren. Charismatic and fatherly at first, his growing obsession slowly transforms him into a paranoid, manipulative and ruthless leader. We are seeking a strong, authoritative voice with excellent emotional range, capable of portraying a compelling antagonist whose descent into obsession ultimately leads to his downfall.

Josephine (Vocalizations Only)
Josephine is the courageous and compassionate deaf protagonist of the film, communicating entirely through sign language. This role does not include spoken dialogue and instead focuses on expressive vocal performance through breathing, effort sounds, reactions, laughter, cries, pain and emotional vocalizations. The actor will work closely with the animation team to bring Josephine's emotional journey to life through authentic, nuanced nonverbal performance.
