Project: GEMINI (Voice actors/Music Composers/and extra animators needed)
Project Overview
Hi my name is Mark, also known as MiCRO MANA. and i'm a small Youtuber (well that was until i deleted all my videos to stay safe from COPPA but i should be in the clear now) i've wanted to make animations since i was young, so hopefully this series is a good way to show it. however throughout this whole year i've come to realize that it's extremely more difficult than it looks, and that i can't work alone. otherwise ya boi is probably gonna burn out, then nobody wins.
Gemini Is a Series Project that I've had in mind for several years now. It's been difficult, however I've been trying my very best to start development on this project. I don't really have an active team or any sort of support to back me up in scenarios I can't really explain, and that's what I wish to change. This Development team I wish to make, must consist of people who are active, understanding, determined, and hard working. If a member does not agree to the terms I have placed, then the likely hood of them staying won't be so good on their part.
Gemini is a 2-D-Animated Web series/Video Game project that I wish to develop simultaneously. now i know that sounds like hell on earth and something that may be impossible to finish, but this is something I rarely see people try on their own. right now this is the 2-D animation side of the project, so don't worry too much on the video game side as much. I'll probably work on it depending on how the series does.
so here's a spoiler free summary of the main plot for the story
Located in the vast islands of the Tinge Kingdom, a Young Boy by the name of Lucid Noah Dreamer has discovered that an ancient prophecy must be fulfilled to determine the fate of the world itself. while he thinks of it as cliche, it's the truth, otherwise the whole world will fall into tribulation with no survivor left unscathed, this prophecy is known as The Battle of Angels, where a union of 4 heroes (The Hero of Dreams, The Princess of Light, The Roar of Salvation, and The Knight of Awakening) known as The Chromatic Geminis will face against a nightmarish being that threatens the whole world and potentially the entire universe itself. join Lucid and the Chromatic Geminis as they all embark on their quest to break their shackles and fulfill their Prophecy.
simple enough right? anyways I made a discord server long ago for the development team to help work on the project, but at this point they've been basically dead. I will say this however, this is all voluntary work. as Much as I'd love to pay people for their hard work and effort, I'm in no position to do so for a while. Until I can get something stable, this'll be purely voluntary work. I know this sounds like a downer, I'm very sorry. If you still wish to help me work on the series regardless, I appreciate your love and support.
I'm Handling the animation work myself at the moment, Which Means that most of the animating will be done by yours truly. Until I can get at least 2-3 other animators with a similar art style as mine on my side to help, then we may be seeing an opportunity for more consistent episodes.
I've been working on the music via fl studio mobile, you know because fl studio on PC is very expensive. I mostly trying to gain a soundtrack consisting of retro 8 bit midi, Orchestral Instruments, Guitar for some of the Fight scenes, and hopefully a Latin choir. Just so I don't focus too much on music I'll need another composer to help with recreating the songs i made, and create the rest of the soundtrack.
for voice acting, there are are few characters that have already been take. really big ones actually. i'll reveal who they are later, but for now, focus on the characters I left here for you. this is for the first few episodes so i don't want to go ahead of my self and it gives another chance for you to volunteer in this project.
lemme what you guys have in mind. Also leave your discord name tag in your audition so that i'm able to contact you and confirm that you're part of the team.

My apologies for the inconvenience, but Apparantely there are even more characters i forgot to add in. Some that extremely important to the story line. However, i will still take a look at the results. There are still some characters on here that don't have a voice yet, so idk how that will be settled yet. But like i said, sorry for the sudden delay, pls forgive me. -

Lucid and Vivid are twin brothers who have been separated after a tragic scenario that led to the death of both their father and mother. Lucid, is rebellious, confidant, smug, and rarely gets angry (that is if something extremely devastating were to happen). As for Vivid he's a lot more mature and intelligent. but both of them are pretty emotional. For both their voices try to sound like your usual main teenage male protagonist, ideally i thought the voice that suited both of these two was Jeff Fischer's portrayal of Yuj from Final Fantasy XIII (even tho he's most known for portraying himself in american dad), In any case, just master that voice and try to experiment with it in cases of emotional, enthusiastic, humorous, or any sort of situation or moment in different scenes.(btw for vivid specifically, try to sound a bit more darker and edgier, just to break the confusion between the two)
(here are some references)
Jeff Fisher as Yuj (FFXII)
*lucid* I'm fine, just had another nightmare. man i really should get a grip on myself
*lucid* I can't tell if you're trying to compliment me, or laugh in my face. Then again, I can't really blame you now can I? Now stop holding back and show me what ya got!
*Vivid* The light... has it disappeared... has it been asleep?... have I... Been asleep?
*Disclaimer: this character is sort of taken, but her voice actor (who's a good friend of mine) has been going through a lot, and I want to support her as much as I can. I'm not saying I'll take this role away from her, but if she feels uncomfortable with it and isn't available often then the least i can do is remove her stress a bit by taking the role off her shoulders. i'll see whats up with her but in the meantime, here's the role*
Soulisia is the Main female deuteragonist of the story. She's usually worried calm, joyful, innocent. But she does get upset and depressed at some points. She's the Princess of the tinge kingdom and the Daughter of the Royal King. However she is stuck with a curse (more will be explained later in the story). She also develops a strong relationship with Lucid. both as a friend, a mentor, and perhaps more will come as time passes on. She must break her curse,and regain her throne in order to restore order back to the kingdom from the main antagonist Radian
I wish for her voice to be a medium to Light pitch young female voice.being a young 18 year old princess and all.
Ideally like Cherami Leigh's Portrayal of Asuna Yuuki from Sword Art Online (SAO) Louisa Michelle "Luci" Christian's portrayal of Ochaco Uraraka from My Hero Academia. etc...
you get the point.
(Feel free to tinker with the voices)
Here are some references below:
Asuna Yuuki
Ochaco Uraraka
(Emotionally)My father once told me, that one's life is never lost unless you stop believing. that's why i continue to believe he is still alive and with me, always guiding me towards the right path.
(Angered) I'm tired of being weak, and I'm not just gonna spectate any longer!!!
(Calm) I've never been much of a fighter before, but it doesn't seem like we have that many options left. (Breathes in and out)
Alright I'll step in, but I may need some sort of training before i could even begin to lay any punches first.
Genesis is a main supporting role in the cast. he is a mage who came to lucid for help and is willing to back him up throughout his journey.
for his voice, he has an adult English accent, with a serious but friendly personality. mimic that and you're all good. simple enough right?
wake up boy, you seem like you've taken quite the knock out
ehh no thank you. i don't do food
make haste, he's closing in on us!
Leo is a boy cursed with dark powers he can barely contain. he doesn't want anyone to get hurt, so he wishes to banish himself to a place no one will get hurt. however he falls unconscious attempting to remove it for good, which didn't end up working. he wakes up in a room with a young boy named Monty, who was the one who helped him while on the floor, said that he wants to help him with whatever is troubling him. so leo ends up staying there to fight of his curse and find out who cursed him.
For his voice I'm looking for a voice that can match his personality, with the tone of a teen/young adult. he's loyal, Valiant, calm and emotional.
My life is full of mysteries, mysteries even I can't answer.
You'll be fine, just hold on to that sword and make sure it doesn't fall off your hand.
I need full concentration. i can't contain my energy if I can't focus, but I suppose a drink won't hurt
Monty Jack Cheese or as he's nicknamed, Macheedy, is a literal block of cheese who has a bratty, and cocky like attitude. both him and leo are under the care of Master Tawny to become strong warriors .Monty goes through tons of training, improving his agility, and combat skills since he's always thirsty for battle. He tries to act tough, but in most cases people just either find him adorable, weak or sometimes even edible, however he gets kinda annoyed when people treat him that way.hilarious jokes and puns aside, he soon joins the main heroes on their journey as his partner shin may have something related to the threat at hand, which motivates Monty into joining them. While Monty may be bratty and nosey, he certainly does have a heart for others.
While Monty is indeed A Boy, he will require a medium to high pitched female/young boy type of voice
Ideally like Kara Edwards' Portrayal of Goten in Dragon Ball Z, Or like Cassandra lee Morris' portrayal of Morgana From Persona 5
(Here are some references)

Come on is that seriously all you had in you? I'm surprised you haven't collapsed on the floor already.
Pff I guess he's not that bad, at least he's got some meat in those gummy worm for arms.
Hey!! Shut up before i knock down your sharp jaws off!!
The Dark Entity Known as Nightmare is the secondary Antagonist of the story, while he may not be the main villain, he still is quite a huge Threat! He is the embodiment of Darkness itself, with the intent on causing chaos where ever he goes. He has tormented Lucid and Vivid's Family (consisting of a clan of Dream Catchers) for years and he won't stop until lucid's family bloodline is destroyed entirely. In fact, all he desires is destroying every single Dream Catcher in existence so nothing can stand in his way of pure tribulation and chaos across the world.
For his voice I'm looking for someone to match his nature and personality. a dark, vile and powerful being with a low pitch. as long as you match his deep tone of voice as well as his appearance then i'll accept it. ideally like David Lodge's portrayal of Igor/malevolent god/Yaldabaoth from Persona 5. (Here is a reference to his voice)

Fools! Know your place among this world!.. oh! that's right... You have no place in my world!
The meaning of balance is to contain equilibrium among the world. no progression can be made, no advancement. why would you want to stand still, when you can move forward.
what a fine treat this is. *laughing*
Ashlyn is the Older Sister of The Dream Twins ,Only known for keeping her brothers safe from harms way, regardless of her Spunky Personality and Mentality. The only thing she regrets most is not keeping her missing brother Vivid Safe when she was needed most. Despite her depression over regrets and guilt, she is not willing to throw the towel in any way or form.
For her voice I'm looking for a voice that fits her Spunky personality, sort of like Daisy in the Mario series
Rise and shine little Bro! I... Oh, are you ok? you look like you woke up on the wrong side of the bed, and quite literally too.
Don't be getting yourself hurt out there. well... at least not without me. I don't want you picking fights on your own and finding out you whited out and lost all your money with no one to pick you up. if i'll be honest that's the last thing I want to happen.
Why do I get the feeling something terribly wrong is about to happen... *shrugs* must be just my imagination
Melody is known to be one of 3 maidens in the castle, and is a true witness of the king's death. she's also the princess' best friend and support. unlike the princess herself, Melody is more self aware, brave, and has so many things to reveal, but can't as the main antagonist of our story (Radian), has his eye on the whole castle and Melody has to make sure that she isn't caught, she also has to make sure that she gains as much evidence to expose Radian from the inside, and updates the princess on what he's up to in secret
for her voice, it's hard to describe, but like I said, she's self aware, and brave, aside from that she is very intelligent. I may not be able to describe her voice, but the best part is that you can help come up with one for me. she what you think feels right for the character from her appearance to her personality
*thinking to herself* this task is really going to be tough for me to pull off, especially with that scumbag sitting on the throne, how dare he.
look i can't get you out right now, i have to lay low, otherwise we're both going to get thrown in their, but i'll try to think of something.
don't worry, he'll walk it off. he always does.
Prank is a night terror, created by Nightmare. with a temper ranging from calm to out right explosive. he does have a condescending, and amusing sense of humor, and a very dark one at that. while most of the night terrors (demons) are created to be mindless and obedient, his mischievous, cocky, prideful and cunning demeanor is what set's this clown apart from the rest, a monster with a mind of it's own.
For the Voice of Prank, i felt like he deserves a condensing but wicked medium pitched voice. Someone who can master and the dominate the tone of a malevolent and slightly insane Clown.
Ideally like Chris Ayres' portrayal of Frieza in the Dragon Ball Z funimation dub, or like Mark Hamill's portrayal of the joker in the Batman Franchise.
(feel free to mix the voices a bit)

*maniacal laughter *Bombs Away as i always say *cackle
Ugh what type of grave did i dig myself into? I mean seriously, SOMEBODY GIVE THIS BRAT SOME NyQuil OR SOMETHING!!!
Argh just shut up already, i may be a clown, but ain't no Fool!!
Mechanous Is a brilliant mad scientist and is 2nd in command in Nightmare and Radian's army. whenever they need a weapon of mass destruction, or anything involving tech, Mechanous is in charge of that.
for his voice, i'm looking for someone that can fit the role of an evil mad scientist. Robotnik(EGGMAN), Wily, Gero, just someone with that level of influence. no voice in particular, you can customize how you feel is right for the character.
Congratulations, you've managed to fully infiltrate my laboratory! but I've got news for you, There's no escape! hahahaha
Where are my manners, allow me to introduce myself, i am Garrison J. Mechanous, glad you can join us... NOT!
you can't run for much longer dreamer, there's nothing you can do to escape the inevitable. except if you had a powered gauntlet with infinite power BUT THAT'S BESIDES THE POINT!
Lavenda is an Oracle within the dream realm and the guide throughout most of the story, she's the one who warned lucid of the prophecy he must help fulfill to prevent this Doomsday from happening.
For her voice, match the voice of a wise and majestic goddess. Simple as that, nothing too specific.
I am Lavenda and you are not dead, but merely unconscious for now. In a dream to be exact.
Your time has come to take action to prevent your world from great tribulation by a sinister tyrant.
Until we meet again
I need someone who's familiar with drawing either on flash or krita, which is what I intend on using. someone who is also familiar with my art style and able to mimic it. character movement is fluid, but i can't draw for crap when it comes to backgrounds XD, so if you're that person here's your opportunity.
but lemme see what you guys have in mind, send me a portfolio of your best work in 2-D animation or something you've created.
Say something you think would fit
your task is to help compose music for the series, I've made a bunch of songs for the series but I don't want to get centered on music alone. send me your best compositions. the types of songs in this series are either 8 bit (Game Boy is sorta what i'd like to mimic), orchestra, metal. and maybe some lofi for some moments when everyone's just chillin.
send me what you've created and see if you qualify
Say something you think would fit
now this one is a bit complicated to explain but, i have an anime intro in mind but the main them has been a pain in my butt to compose. so hopefully the new composer will help me along with that. in the mean time tho, just send previous performances you've done before and send them to me, while I continue to finalize the main anime intro theme.
Sing something beautiful
audio engineers are in charge of making sure that all the audio from our va's have no background noise or any sounds that get in the way. I would be interested in anyone for this role, but in order for me to work with you, you need to send me some of your previous work to prove that you have that ability.
