CQD Head Astarboard(Voice Actors!)

Project Overview

Hello Everyone! This is the casting of my Animated mini movie " CQD, Head astarboard" brought to you by drowned deck studios! The story goes as its told..
“Set in the early 1910s, aboard a grand British ocean liner, three unlikely heroes find themselves tested when a routine voyage turns into a fight for survival.

As disaster strikes, Amara Naveah Stuart, a determined wireless operator navigating both her disability and the prejudice of her male peers, sends desperate signals into the void, hoping someone will answer. Below deck, Clarence Gunter Bradshaw, a skilled yet underestimated Chief Engineer, struggles to hold his team and the ship together as chaos erupts around him.On the bridge, Captain Tobias “Toby” Cameron Smith, young and burdened with inexperience, must lead frightened passengers and crew through a nightmare he never expected to face.

As the liner sinks into darkness, each of them must confront not only the roaring sea, but also the weight of the roles they were never supposed to have and prove that courage can rise from the most unexpected places.”

Latest Updates

  • Update on Casting!

    Hello everyone, I recently got asked the question if i'll be priotizing BIPOC & POC Voice actors for Amara and Clarence and the answer to that is Yes! authenticity is important to me. especially when it comes to communities that are marginalized. Culture and accurate representation means the world to me and as a White(European) Creator, I want to learn how to handle and craft their characters with love and care.

    I've been doing extensive research into Colombian, Ghanaian and Puerto Rican culture to ensure that that these characters and their back stories are portrayed with love, accuracy and depth that they deserve.

    If any of you cultural insight that you'd love to see for Clarence or Amara, Please don't be afraid too reach out to me.

    Much love and greatest thanks,
    Robin

  • Some background information on the story

    CQD, Head astarboard is Historical fiction inspired by the sinking of the SS Sultana and The RMS Titanic, not to profit off tragedy but to remember and honor the lives lost in both maritime disasters.

    A lot of Movies(Like the Titanic 1977 film among others) tend to romanticize these events, turning them into idealized love stories. This Project takes a different approach to that, It focuses on the actual stress, the horror and the panic of the crew and passengers when a sinking like those mentioned above occurs.

    You'll notice in the story and in the roles a few familiar names mentioned. Captain Smith(or Captain Edward Smith) and Jack Philips both make appearances in the mini movie. There'll be a bit of a Tribute in the credit scene, thanking the heroes who worked on the SS Sultana & RMS Titanic.

    To everyone who has auditioned so far, thank you all! I love the creative freedom and I can't wait too see many more! I heavily encourage creative freedom in artists & Voice over artists. If you want to add something that you think fits the character?(Like I've seen some of you do with Arsene which is absolutely awesome!) go for it!

    Much love,
    Robin
