Quick note!
Hello! As you can probably tell, a few people have been assigned to the roles! Thank you all for auditioning, you guys did amazing!
If you really wanted a role, don’t worry! I am still choosing side characters and extra children.
Heaven Forbid is a story about a fox hybrid named Everest who has been dwelling in heaven for 5 earthly years. He’s been teaching children there ever since he arrived as a sanctuary leader.
His mentor is a tall, seemingly understanding goat who goes by Bastian. Everything seems wonderful in this paradise until the wonders go downhill; secrets get uncovered and trust starts to break. Who’s the real angelic victim?

This story has been a dream project of mine for a long while! The initial plan is to make it an animatic and post it on my tumblr page once it’s finished, but I cannot guarantee for sure.
This project is beginner-friendly for voice actors! Be sure to put your discord along with your submission(s).
Also a note. In case you missed it, the characters in this story are anthropomorphic.
Voiceacting tips: Try not to go too fast (or too slow!), make it sound natural, and don’t be afraid to get loud!
My discord is tobithesilly
Have a lovely day!

Any voice for the narrator is welcomed! Please note that this is a minor role, as the narrator will only be featured in the opening of the episode.
Ah yes. Heaven. The breakaway from our universe and the skies withholding the pearly gates. A paradise with no sorrow.
Many on earth wonder if the phenomenon of heaven should even be true, as no angel has phsyically traveled down to the planet and given an answer.
Allow me to quote the book of Matthew chapter 7, verse 15. “Small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only few find it..”
Everest is a usually encouraging yet cautious hybrid of a raccoon and a fox. He always follows Bastian, whether loyally or stubbornly. His wings are a dark gradient of brown, meanwhile the shell of his wings are a deep purple. He is the teacher of the children’s sanctuary that meets every other week.
He has a rather awkward male voice. He always seems to be slightly nervous, apart from when he’s with the children.
Look, Bastian, I.. I just need some time for myself.
*Crying angrily.* I thought I could trust you! But I was stupid, stupid, STUPID! Stupid enough to let you use me as a pawn in your little game!
*Encouraging tone.* Great job, kids. I’ll see you tomorrow for opening sanctuary.
Bastian is a goat who is calmly yet unsettlingly overprotective of Everest. He always tries to change Everest’s opinions and replace them with his own. His eyes are fully a bright, shining yellow.
Deep, British/Australian (either works) male voice. Always speaks with gentleness but also with authority.
Heh, you never know when to quit, do you?
*Angry, whisper-ish tone* Now listen here, you mangy mutt. One more word from that muzzle of yours and you’re dead. Understand?
You did great, Everest. The children love you. Trust me, you are really outdoing yourself out there.
A young coffee-colored feline with an outgoing personality. She‘s great when it comes to calming others down, but not so much for herself.
A female child’s voice. Very calm and collected.
Oh. I suppose what he did was.. right.. after all. Thanks again, Mr. Thornberry.
Argh.. stupid sticks caught in my wings again..
You promise you’ll be back, right? I don’t want to lose anyone anymore..
A happy-go-lucky male German shepherd pup who always tries to cheer people up, but usually tends to get a bit too excited in the process.
Enthusiastic male child‘s voice. Never seems to truly be sad.
Hahaha! Oh, that’s a good one! ‘Irrefutable evidence of our teacher going missing’, hah! As if!
*Whining.* Awh man! I really wanted to ask him a question!
Hey, it’s okay. We all need our space sometimes. I really hope you feel better!
Demi is a nonbinary shrew who barely shows emotion. They try to avoid the other students for fear of social interaction. They have nyctophobia but refuse to tell anyone.
Oldest of the children, though only being 13 years old. Monotone voice, rarely getting excited.
Death is a very interesting topic, y’know?
Honestly I can’t even remember that thing’s name. It’s THAT irrelevant to me, I guess.
*Sarcastic.* Wow. That plan doesn’t sound flawed at all. Congratulations.
Any child’s voice will work.
Good morning, Mr. Thornberry!
Whoa.. It looks pretty bad down on earth.. why can’t they just get along?
*Whispering to another student.* Who’s the goat lookin’ fella?
Any voice types will work.
Oh sweet Jesus, what happened to that guy?
He’s bleeding. He’s BLEEDING! Is there a doctor? Somebody, anybody?
In the name of Saint Peter, help this guy! His wings are torn!
