This casting call is for the animation version of a book I have on Wattpad. The book on Wattpad is called Burn and my username is kitkat7177 if you wish to read it first. If not, the book is about a seventeen-year-old girl who is a senior. Every year for her birthday, her stepfather buys her a puppy. Every year after she gets attached, the puppy randomly disappears. This leaves her devastated. The animations will be posted onto my YouTube channel, SimplyAngelCat 2002.
You will be animating. I will have a few people animating so you need to work together. This is a big project. Both this book and the sequel will be animated.
State your name, age, and time zone.
State whether or not you have had animated for someone before (not required, though animation skills still are, of course. You just don't have to have any prior projects).
Send in you answering the above things then send an example of your animation skills to [email protected] so that I can see them.
I can kinda voice her, if necessary. She is the main character AND the narrator so be prepared to say A LOT!!! She has a tormented past, she has witnessed her father being killed, and everything she loves ends up dead. She is an aspiring ninja genious and also wants to be a teacher.
Inspiring kind of: I love everything about it... the smell of the autumn air, during spring, the crackle of the sticks burning, the beautiful orange and yellow colors as we have our bonfire. (Now kinda upset all of a sudden) I can't forget what he did. I haven't confronted him. It's too late now.what's done is done. I'm mad now. I frown, thinking back on that day. I don't hate the fire. I hate what the fire was used for. Each year. Every year, no matter what I do. I don't understand why though. My name is Alyssa Worchester.
Snappy: "No, thanks," I snap. "I think I'm going to eat dessert now. Then I'm going to read and go to bed." He knows that I keep Mimi with me when I read and when I eat dessert. And when I sleep.
(Her texting Max, just kinda have fun with emotion)
U wont believe what i just saw
He soon replies:
M: omg whatA: it involves my step-fatherM: eww i hate jimA: so do i. Now even moreM: ooh do tell
I then proceed to send him a video. I started the video as soon I had almost froze in place. Right when I had gotten behind the tree. It shows him almost throw Mimi in the fire.
Max is Alyssa's best friend. He is the person she always goes to (other than Lily). They are the Three Musketeers and have been best friends for their entire life. He is seventeen years old. He gets a little loco when he has too much coffee and he gets scared at a few small things.

Here is another line but idk how to make it more than three lines so here ya go. Also, just read Max's lines, obviously not the rest of it. I'm too lazy to take it out:Acting kinda goofy:"Okay... well.... I know!!" Max is excited because he had too many cups of coffee today.
"Okay well first what on Earth are you talking about?" I ask.
His answer is simply, "We need to bust that idiot of a step-father of yours and we need to think of a plan."
"Okay stop talking so fast. How much coffee did you have today, anyways?"
He thinks for a moment, then replies, "Two or three... jars..."
Now being completely weird and kinda creepy in a way..."No I said 'I know' as in, I know that we need to think of one... why do you have a rainbow on your face?"
"Wha-"
"Pretty, pretty, unicorn dancing on clouds... hehe that's you..."
"Okay what's going on?"
"Ahh!" He screams. "You sound like Alyssa! Did you eat her? Bad unicorn, bad unicorn!" He starts smacking the "unicorn" A.K.A. me.
"No it's me. It's Alyssa."
"Alyssa turned into a unicorn!!! How did you do it?"
The bell rings.
"I hear Santa's sleigh bells!!"
Lily is a ninja gal. She is super smart and she's the tech girl. She is best friends with Max and Alyssa. Book smart, street smart, and computer smart. Also, she's a ninja. She's who makes the Dynamic Duo turn to the Three Musketeers.

Calming Alyssa down: "Relax. Let's just think."
Freaking out: "I wish we had a recording or a video or something!!"Confused: "What are you guys talking about?"Kinda upset but freaking out still: "How could you forget?!?!"
Alyssa's mother. She doesn't know of the horrors going on so she doesn't believe Alyssa at first.
Texting between Alyssa and her mama:A: hey mom. Just wanted to text you goodnightMom: goodnight, dear.A: i love you, goodnight bye.Mom: I love you too, goodnight, sweet dreams, bye.
Only say what is bolded.Confused:"Why, dear, if you need to show me something I'm sure you can-"
"No. Josh can't know that I have these."
"But-"
"Trust me."
"Okay."
Only say what is bolded.Furious:"Oh. my. GOSHH!!!"
Josh walks up. "What's wrong-"
"You're what's wrong!!!! I want a divorce!!!!"
"Dear-"
"Don't even TRY!!! WE ARE GETTING A DIVORCE A.S.A.P. AND THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN SAY OR DO TO CHANGE MY MIND!!! WHAT.... Why... why..." she breaks into tears. "I LOVED HIM!"
"You're with me, now. It's fine that you miss him but you love me. It's not like I caused him to commit suicide."
"He didn't commit suicide!! YOU KILLED HIM!!!"
This is Alyssa's evil step-father. He hates dogs and he is just an all-around terrible person. He is the cause for Alyssa's sadness.
Evil: "Shh... Mimi. Don't worry. You'll be with the other puppies that Alyssa had before you. And you'll go out the same way."
Angry/Evil: "Every other year. Why does it have to be every other year after I get rid of one of you that I'm forced to get another? Dogs are a waste of time. But I LOVE the look on Alyssa's face each time I tell her that her puppies are missing."
(Only say what is bolded)Daddy?(Innocent): Yes, dear?May I play with Mimi?(Sounding sincere) I've been looking for her. I can't find her.There she is!!!(Attempting to sound innocent, nervous, a tint of sadness) Wow, she must have been in the woods, (awkward pause then clarifying nervously) behind me.
Secret Service officer. Only in the final chapter. He's around his mid-late twenties.
Only say what is bolded and just do whatever emotion you want.
"You have some great ways to put clues together." One of the officers says to me. "My name is Lakelyn. Officer Lakelyn Killian. Everyone calls me Officer K. I need to discuss what you plan on doing after college."
"I want to be a teacher. I get my degree when I'm 21."
"You have a couple of years left in college... Well..." He walks me away from everyone else.
"I work with the Secret Service. Your friends Lily and Max have parents that work with us too but they don't know much. All three of you have the potential so if you would-"
"Yes!! Yes I would love to work there! I can text my friends and tell-"
"Their parents will discuss this with them. You may text them, if you text in code. We do not want hackers to know what is going on."
You get the gist. Only bolded.
"Can you lie because we don't want inter-"
"Yes. I can. I've been practicing and now I can make up a cover story on the spot."
"You have an important mission. You are taken by the enemy. They ask you who you work for. What do you-"
"Amazing. You'll be great and as for the divorce, we will issue the request A.S.A.P. so your mother and Josh won't be married anymore. He won't bother you guys ever again. If you take the job, you can not tell your mother, I'm sorry."
Jim's friend. He's in his late thirties. Only in one chapter. He helps set up an anniversary present for Alyssa's mom.
Secretive: "Yeah, Jim?"
Only say what is bolded.
"I couldn't forget."
"Good because plan is a go."
"Now? Are ya sure?"
"Yeah, man. Perfect timing."
"Okay so how long 'til she comes back to ya?"
"Kay man. Gotta go but bro, if somethin' goes wrong, I'mma send ya tha code text. Still sorry for ya loss, right?"
Some preppy chick that is Alyssa's science partner. She's preppy, popular, ditsy, et cetera.
"Well, Mr. Kid said we have to mix 3 grams of this and 2 grams of that."
Just say what is in bold.I go to raise my hand. "Don't say it."
"Why not."
"If we do, then the others will say that they were thinking that, but didn't know if they should bring it up."
"Okay. So we just write it down or what?"
"What if there's a bad reaction with everyone else's and not ours and then we get in trouble?! I CAN'T get in trouble!!!! I'm too popular for that!!!!!"
Confused: "But it was your idea."
The two lines are her only two lines. Preferably younger actress, as she is only four. It's a really small part but it's very necessary. This is for a VERY important chapter!
Terrified: "It's fine, Alyssa."
Terrified: "This is the kind of thing a ninja sees."
No Line 3
The lines you audition with are his only lines. This is Alyssa's dead father. She witnessed him die. He only talks in one chapter but it is a VERY important chapter.
Talking about the love of his life: "She was the most beautiful girl that I had ever seen and I knew that I had to make her mine. I introduced myself and we got to know each other. We had so much in common. But not only was she gorgeous, but she was so sweet and caring. She was beautiful inside and out."
On his deathbed: "I love you, Alyssa."
Alyssa's aunt. She warns Alyssa but can not manage to say the main detail she needs to say before it is too late. She is only in one chapter but it is a VERY important chapter.
Text convo:Sarah: your uncle is missingAlyssa: reallyS: yeah someone's coming
Sarah: he knows I spoke. He's not in the room but I'm scaredhelp, AlyssaAlyssa: I'll never delete these texts
Terrified voice message:"Don't delete them. You need to use them as evidence if you ever figure out that the guy is you're father's murderer. He's-" a pause. "He's back..."
