Dawn's Demons (Student Animation Concept Trailer)
Project Overview
After saving a man’s life, Dawn, a young girl with a sunny disposition, is visited by numerous demons competing for her immortal soul.
Dawn Breaker is a cheerful young girl who lives happily in her suburban home with her parents, Faith and William. One day on her way home from school, Dawn stumbles upon a man who intends to jump off an office building. Dawn begins talking to the man and puts a positive spin on everything he claims makes his life terrible. The man eventually comes down from the ledge and thanks Dawn. Little does she know that the demons that were after the man’s soul are not as grateful. Upon returning home, Dawn is confronted by three demons whom she dubs, Julie, Noah, and Troy. The three demons begin fighting over who will take her soul in exchange for the man’s to “The Boss,” but even they have outside competition of their own to worry about.
I'm looking to cast Dawn and her three demons(Julie, Troy, and Noah) for the purposes of this trailer. For the time being this is a Trailer only project, communication will be done through email.
Please audition with 3 takes of each line!
I, as a student, have limited funds but I can offer each VA 5 dollars just for the trailer work! Since I'm on a time crunch, I do need a pretty fast turn around, so please make sure you can return lines in 1-2 days before auditioning! Thank you so much!
Thank you, and have fun!

Our main character, a happy-go-lucky girl with a heart of gold. Looking for an upbeat young teen voice for Dawn, I put her age between 13-15. Please take inspiration from characters like Mabel from Gravity Falls and Luz from The Owl House.
[She's introducing herself to the Demons for the first time, kind of naive about the situation] (cheerful) Well... Hi! I'm Dawn! What's your name? [pause] How about Julie? You look like a Julie!
(a little anxious but still cheerful) Well gee, if I had known you'd be coming then I would have had my mom get some cookies for everyone!
(excited) *gasp* oh my gosh! You like pink too!? It's my favorite color!
Stuck it up, know it all, who slowly develops a soft spot for Dawn. Very sharp, no-nonsense voice. Inspiration taken from characters like ShadowWeaver from She-ra and the Princesses of Power.
[Introducing herself to Dawn for the first time] My name? Not that humans can pronounce it but it's... (insert various demon-like noises, have fun with it!)
(Sneering, condescending) That sweater is hideous. I mean, really, it looks like it was knit from your cat's hair with dry spaghetti.
[upon discovering another demon is after Dawn] (angrily and condescending) Oh no, you don't! This is MY soul! You go find your own, leech.
Troy is a defective wrath demon which causes him to swing from being the sweetest demon ever to violently aggressive at the slightest provocation, although he defaults to being sweet and fascinated by the human world. His voice has a strong toughness to it, to the point that it is almost humorous when he is being sweet. Please take inspiration from The Beast from Beauty and the Beast.
[Seeing Dawn for the first time] (To Dawn, Trying to be scary) Who do you think you are? You think you deserve- [drops the act when he sees the other two demons there already] (disappointed) Aw man! C'mon, guys, I called dibs on the next one...
(thoughtful) Hmmm, I like your sleeping room though, so much... soft stuff. Plus, I like the pink. [Dawn exclaims about how much she loves pink] (excited) Yes! Pink is my favorite human color because so many people hate it!
[Talking to Julie and Noah after Dawn is asleep] (worried) We've just never collected a small human's soul. Are you sure it's okay? [Noah accuses him of going soft] (suddenly extremely angry, half yelling) You of all people know I. Don't. Go. Soft. (threateningly) Now, do you want to question my loyalty again or do you want to keep your tongue?
Arguably the evilest of the three, Noah is the only one that continues to go after Dawn's soul as the show progresses. He often sits on her shoulder and whispers insults to her. He has an earworm like voice, something that would be super distinct but not annoying necessarily, also feel free to play with a Boston or New York accent for him if you can fit it. Please look at Alex Hirsch's voice acting work as King from The Owl House and Bill Cipher in Gravity Falls.
[Mocking Troy] Too bad, so sad, big shot. Maybe next time, if your fat legs can beat us to the soul, then you can have dibs.
[Arguing with Julie] Oh I'm soRrY, why don't I just crawl back to the FallSwan like a good little demon and show up empty-handed to The Boss? I'm sure they'd be fine with that and WOULDN'T damn me to pick up after the hell hounds for all eternity.
[Putting intrusive thoughts in Dawn's head] Ya know, your friend there probably doesn't even like you anyway. Yeah, I bet they hate you. Also, your parents work all the time to avoid you, but you didn't hear it from me.
