    Hello everyone! We’re excited to announce new character roles have just been added for Episode 2 of our anime-inspired biblical fantasy series, Stand Firm - A light in the shadows.

    This episode introduces some incredible characters—both major and supporting—and we’re looking for voice actors to help bring them to life with passion, personality, and heart 💛

    ____________________________________________

    🌟 Now Casting – Main Roles:

    • David – Young adult male, confident, sarcastic, and full of charm. (Think: future king vibes with a touch of sass.)

    • Solomon – Calm, wise, clever, and slightly cocky. A smooth voice with an edge of intellect.

    • Shem’s Wife – Warm and motherly but knows how to hold her ground. Emotionally rich and playful.

    • Samson – Blindfolded and doubtful, with hidden strength. Deep voice with undertones of brokenness and quiet power.
