Brother's Grimm: Little Brother and Little Sister
Project Overview
This project is for a youtube video series featuring narrations of various fairytales and fantasy stories. The primary role that I need a talent for is that of the Sister. There will be many more projects like this to come, so don't be discouraged if you don't get cast. I'm also trying to compile a list of talents for future projects, so I may request demos and contact info even if you don't get cast.
In this story, a brother and sister run away from their stepmother in the woods. The brother drinks from a cursed brook and is turned into a deer. He and his sister live in the woods for some time (what I imagine to be a few years), and eventually the sister gets married to a king, gets killed, and later brought back again for a happy ending. It is a weird fairy tale.

Little sister is on of the main characters in this fairytale. I need the same actor to be able to perform her character both during her adolescence and young adulthood. This role must have an British English or North American accent, as I need her character to complement the brother's. There will be a total of 15 lines containing a total of 260 words for this part.
"Please, dear little brother, do not drink or you will become a wild beast, and tear me to pieces!"
Direction: In this line, her brother is about to drink from a cursed brook that will turn him into a tiger. At this point in the story, I'm looking for an adolescent sounding voice.
"But come back to me in the evening. I must shut my door for fear of the rough huntsmen, so knock and say, ‘My little sister, let me in!’ That I may know you. And if you do not say that, I shall not open the door."
Direction: At this point in the story, I would like her to sound like a young adult.
"How fares my child? How fares my Roe? Twice shall I come, then never moe!"
Direction: She has become a queen, subsequently been assassinated, and an imposter has taken her place. She's basically dead, and coming into the room every night to check on her baby and brother (he's still a deer). She should still sound like a young adult. Feel free to try and make it sound creepy, ghostly, etc. Its not necessary, but I'm open to any creative license.
The Witch is the stepmother of the brother and sister and the main antagonist in this story. She should sound a little on the older side preferably, and sound stereo-typically evil. Full disclosure, these 3 lines are all she has in the story.
“Only be quiet…When the time comes I shall be ready.”
“Come, the bath is ready. It will do you good, and give you fresh strength. Make haste before it gets cold. “
“For your life leave the curtains closed. The queen ought not to see the light yet, and must have rest.”
