Defending Champions

Defending Champions

Project Overview

What is it about?

Defending Champions is an animated webseries about two young burnout musicians who become the Defending Champions of the Universe in a galactic contest of strength and skill after a case of mistaken identity and a chance intervention.
Now that they have a target on their back and responsibility they're wholly unprepared for, they'll meet a huge cast of challengers, friends, foes, and eccentrics as they find their place in a much bigger universe than they ever thought existed.

What is it like?

Defending Champions takes its cues from episodic action comedies across the years. Ranma 1/2, Powerpuff Girls, Symbionic Titan, and countless others have their influence on the genesis and direction of the show. Music plays a central role in the show as many of the characters manifest their otherworldly powers through musical instruments and talents, creating an exciting synergy between soundtrack and visuals!

Who should audition?

Anyone with a love of cartoons and voice acting who can produce solid quality, clean recordings is welcome to submit! This is a high energy show with fast paced dialogue and bombastic action, so don't be afraid to crank up the intensity. Multiple 11-minute episode scripts are completed and ready to record as pre-production ramps up, so the $25 hourly rate would be applicable if more time is necessary to record additional episodes. Please consider if you would be willing to commit to the role in an ongoing manner as more episodes are produced independently!

The Team

Sneak Attack Studios is an independent micro studio producing animated content for the web. When you audition, you'll be working with CJ Vickery, the creator and producer of the series for casting and direction.

Role assigned to: Steven Jobson

Kelly is a neurotic surfer living in Port City, a Mid Atlantic shipping town with not much else going for it. He’s 19 and squatting in an abandoned warehouse by the commercial freight docks with his best buddy and bandmate, Rock. When they become the Defending Champions of a prestigious title in an Intergalactic Contest of Strength and Skill, they have responsibility and status thrust upon them that they are entirely unprepared to contend with. They’re doing their best to adjust to the constant interruptions of extraterrestrial challengers while still trying to chill out and make this whole music thing work out for them!

Rock and Kelly have a long history of friendship with each other, and their dialogue reflects it. They are as likely to share a joke as take shots at each other with blazing speed and wit. Each of them is funny in their own way with humor unique to each

Kelly is one of the main leads for the project. Sound design and mixing is done in Logic Pro and Davinci Fusion, but any program that can export lossless bounces (wav, aiff acceptable) is fine. Would prefer actors have access to a quality condenser microphone and treated recording space, but anything that can ensure clean recordings with a low noise floor is acceptable.

Role assigned to: ivymoody

18 year old daughter of the King of the Galactic Cluster. A total punk rocker and antidisestablishmentarian. Her constant rebellion against the strictures of royal procedures has left her father no choice but to place her in the care of the Defending Champions, not knowing that the title has been recently bequeathed to two knuckleheads about the same age as her. She loves living with the guys, but HATES following the rules, making things a nightmare for Kelly as he tries to be responsible and Rock generally falls for any shenanigans presented to him.

Phoebe aims to misbehave strategically, staying a few steps ahead of everyone else, but even she can't predict all the chaos that swirls around her new friends. Her knowledge of Earth culture and customs is spotty: not so unaware as to not call things by alien names, but not so familiar that she understands everything that she encounters without misunderstanding.

  • Nice place. It’s authentic; got that real dingy dumpster aesthetic.

  • I basically fomented a peasant rebellion against a corporate kleptocracy in the outer systems that toppled centuries of institutional inequity that the federation has turned a blind eye to.
