Firelight is an animated series on YouTube created by a couple from Australia, one with a passion for writing and the other with a passion for drawing and animation
The story follows a group of Six from a small village who band together, fueled by their curiosity and enthusiasm for adventure and research, they set out on a quest to discover and understand the mystery and magic of their world.
Rules and Requirements:Voice actors must be 16+ as this series (although not graphic) will still tackle mature themes that may be distressing to some.
Have a decent mic, it doesn’t need to be perfectly crisp but try to avoid static and fuzz.
Record your lines 3 times each, making slight alterations and adjustments.
You must have Discord and be able to be reached through the Firelight cast & crew server as it will be the main form of communication.
This is an unpaid project looking for volunteers so you are not obligated to be 100% committed to this project. We want it to stay relaxed and laid back so we won’t stress about quick line turn-ins.
We're super excited as there are now 6 days until casting, and the storyboarding for the pilot is complete!
If you haven't already please submit an audition! We need more auditions for Sparrow, so if you think you'd be a good fit, go for it!
Thank you all so much for your support and we can't wait for our small project coming to life and for you all to be a part of it!
We'll keep you updated as progress continues! ✨
Lead Role
An adventurous spirit with a love of discovery, willing to do whatever it takes to better understand the world around him. No matter the cost...
Ordell speaks like he knows exactly what he is going on about, even when he’s making things up on the spot and otherwise clueless.(Excited) Hardly! This is the greatest discovery of all time!
(Anger - Sorrow) No Sparrow, you don’t understand! You never do.
(Confident) Well obviously, who else could lead the team?
Lead Role
Sassy yet sweet with a deep admiration for creatures of the avian variety. Although she has a great deal of love for her home village she can’t help but feel that she's destined for something much greater even though she tries her hardest to shove that feeling down, perhaps all she needs is a little push?
Sparrow speaks with confidence, even in situations where she is unsure and panicked. The subtle hints of her true feelings are important for when she is trying to conceal them.
(Triumphant) Hmph, pleasure doing business with you.
(Sympathetic) Del, you know I love you, yeah?
(Challenging) Really Del? You wanna put your money where your mouth is?
Often mistaken as ditsy, Doe is actually a rather curious, flirtatious, and observant spirit. With a keen interest in plant life, she is often seen with leaves or twigs caught in her curls. The only thing she may love more than flowers is sweets and pastries, oh and Clara of course. She finds it rather boring to stay in one place for too long and needs a bit of unpredictability in order to be content.
Doe often speaks her mind and has a poor habit of oversharing with others. Despite this she can usually be trusted with a secret, not because she can keep her mouth shut, but because she seems to forget it rather quickly.
(Spaced out to warm) Huh? Oh yeah, that sounds lovely!
(Persuasive) *giggles* Come on, Clara, a bit of adventure could do us some good. Just think of all the stories that are yet to be told!
(Teasing/sarcastic) Wow, I’m super duper impressed.
A traveling journalist who is always looking for her big breakout story. Her guilty pleasure is a bit of drama and perhaps a few little gems and jewels to adorn her outfits with. She has been in a committed relationship with Doe for a few years now and is used to having to defend herself and her girlfriend from disapproving onlookers.
When excited or distressed Clara speaks rather quickly, her rambling can cause her to repeat lines of dialogue even if she is cutting herself off to do so.
(Arrogant) You honestly think you’re worth my time?
(Ardent) *gasp* Look at it, it’s beautiful!
(Distressed rambling) We’ve been here for months and yet we’ve got nothing! I’m starting to worry, what if I never get my big break? I’ll be stuck writing mid-paper stories that no one even bothers reading. If I don’t find something revolutionary to write about then I’ll never be able to make it, I will be stuck writing for that same stupid small-town paper for the rest of my days! What if I’m never discovered? Then I’ll never get to publish my own paper! What then?
Lead Role
Playful and charismatic. Solar loves nothing more than getting a good laugh out of his friends. Found family is everything to him and he’ll do anything to keep them safe.
Solar struggles to speak in an ‘inside voice’; his poor volume control can lead to him being mistaken for aggressive when really, he’s just excited.
(Playful) Geez, way to take a joke, birdbrain!
(Soft spoken to playful) I’m sorry for frightening you. Hey, if it happens again, you’ve got my full permission to whack me.
(Voice shaking,fearful)Scared? No, never. Solar the great is never scared!
The daughter of the local librarian, she’s a bit of a social recluse. Ivy is observant with a keen eye for detail, she doesn’t trust easily. Although she prefers her own company she is more than willing to discuss certain topics that others may find rather..odd.
Ivy develops her rasp later on in the series, due to this, we would like for her lines to be read out in both ways, with and without the rasp.
(Excited)*gasp* You see it too? The symbols, the patterns? People thought I was crazy, stupidly I almost believed them. But now that you’re here I can see that my theories weren’t created in vain!
(Disbelief)I suppose what they say is true, reality really is stranger.
(Defensive) Actually, I much prefer the darkness.
Supporting cast
The local librarian who does her best to provide for the curious people of the village and her rather timid daughter.
Despite her dark appearance, Evelyn speaks with warmth, a comforting voice that can soothe those even in the most intense of panic.(Reassuring)If that is truly what you want, love..who am I to stop you?
(Humorous and warm)It’s alright dear, you can just ask. Miss Evelyn Mallory, local librarian. What can I do for you?
(Calm to excited to embarrassed)Ivy! Come down stairs, its time for supper (small pause) Ivy? It’s going to get (cuts herself off) Oh! Oh my goodness! Ivy, you didn’t tell me you had friends! (quickly adds) Over! Friends over *awkward laughter*.
(Hushed)That old thing? I couldn’t give it away if I tried.
(Nervous)Wait! *chuckles nervously* Perhaps for you, I could make another offer?
*Say something you think would fit*
You will need to able to reference my style. You will be guided though the process.
