Designer Baby Clinic

Project Overview

About the project:

This animated short is a passion project of mine. I am not a trained animator and have never been to art school but I am enthusiastic about creating something. Best case scenario, I will be able to enter this to a short film festival or animation film festival. But this is a long shot. It will probably live on the internet somewhere. I hope I can finish this short in the first quarter of 2018. (Animating is hard and time-consuming.)


Requirements:

You do not need to be a professional voice actor, but please submit good quality audio. The story starts out with a commercial for a Designer Baby Clinic that should be a bit unsetteling to the audience. Then the story compeletly shifts into a fast-paced sitcom style comedy. I think the lines require some comedic timing. The characters are all caricatures of demanding parents, but I would still prefer realistic voices rather than over the top cartoony voice acting. Please have a look at the test clips to get a better idea about the characters.


About the short:

The short is about parents going to a Designer Baby Clinic to order their perfect baby. The story is not a comment on the topic of Designer Babies but rather uses the topic as a vehicle to have a critical look on our achievement-oriented society, which makes anyone who hasn't learned three languages, travelled to every continent and started their own business by the age of 25 feel like a failure.


Payment:

Payment is calculated by "NumberOfLines x 1 $ + 5 $". So e.g. for a number of 11 lines the payment is 16 $. I know that it's not much and I apologize that I cannot offer more. But this is just a hobby and I am not expecting any revenue. I will be using Paypal to pay you.


Important note: I am not a native English speaker. So if any dialogue does not sound natural, please tell me.

The short starts out with a commercial. The narration should sound intriguing.

  • Designer Babies are better adapted to today's challenges than conventional babies and have been proven to be more successful later in life.

Elderly man. His Designer Baby Clinic is first and foremost a business endeavor to him. The parents are his customers.

Note: I changed a few words in the audition lines because it was pointed out to me that this sounds more natural. Don't worry if you have already read the lines. It was just a minor change.

  • Just to make sure - you don't literally mean a big heart.

  • I think you will be pleased to hear that we have a special offer for repeat customers.
