Half Hour Animation

Half Hour Animation

Project Overview

The First Greeting Card is an half-hour animated television special. It is an action-adventure story with holiday-inspired elements. This is an independent production by a tiny team. The animation production has gone over budget, and the voice over budget has been decimated.


In order to finish the project on time, we are seeking voice actors to complete the project. You will be paid a token amount of $1 via Paypal.


Hopefully, we can find voice actors who will be excited about this project and give their all. Our goal to be able to produce many more future animations with actual budgets for voice over work.


This is a meant to be a happy story with a vibrant voice tone. The goal is for each character to be unique and his/her own distinct flavor. A lot happens in the show, so the dialogue will keep the story moving forward quickly. Feel free to give your own spin to the dialogue.
