The Holy Circus

The Holy Circus

Project Overview

You are here to save those taken.


After days of searching, this angel had found themselves on the edge of heaven and hell. On this edge, was a run down carnival with a towering circus tent hiding secrets you never wished to find.


The angel must learn of the past of those to find an advantage to escape. What will they find in one week of performances? Or will they soon be dragged into hell as eternal performers?



My name is Eli.

I have long dreamed of making my circus a reality. Over the course of 6 years, if not longer, I had built these characters up from music inspirations all the way to who they are now. I have a huge interest in psychology, albeit more how trauma affects people and how they grow from said trauma.
I have one goal for this story


I wish to make a show, indie or not, with these characters.


With this casting, I am wanting to find people not just to voice my characters, but to also help make my dream a reality. I want to be as hands on in this project as everyone else is.
The first part will be an animatic, and If I am able to get more hands on board, the quality of the animatic will improve drastically.


I want to pay everybody involved.

I am not a business, I am just one person, But I have a high respect for those who can create art and wish to pay if possible. If I do earn from this project, I will pay those who help what they deserve.

I appreciate your interest and any audition for this project!

NO AI WILL BE USED IN ANY PART OF THE PROJECT, IF FOUND OUT, YOU WILL BE KICKED AND BLACKLISTED FROM THE PROJECT

I swear I'm monolingual English these spelling mistakes and grammar mistakes are making me tweak so bad

  • Update Regarding Pay

    Ah yes another update
    BUT, this should hopefully be good

    I have updated everything in regards to payment to give some form of transparency

    I do plan to do any kind of funding source such as Patreon or Kickstarter

    Right now, it's just me in regards to work + money. I work 12 hour shifts at an ER yay me. BUT I am trying to save as much as possible and will be putting it aside for this project to pay what ya'll are deserved at LEAST for EP 1

    All payments can be negotiated in regards to any role as I'm not the best pricing wise and it always feels as if im underpaying

    In regards to Artists, Story boarders and Animators, we can negotiate and depending on what is needed, I will pay your personal commission rate + a bonus

    I care a lot about creators and what they do and I feel pay should be given out regardless on outcome

    I will be reaching out soon to those who auditioned for non VA roles so please keep an eye out (Hopefully soon)

    Thank you for reading this update and hope everybody has a wonderful day!

  • Added Sound Design + Fera Updated Design

    Hey! I've added SFX/Sound Engineer as a role, and everything is slowly moving!

    I've also updated Fera's design and will tweak and update everyones design slowly but surely!


    I am listening to everyone's auditions through the month and nearing the end of the call I will relisten and do the reach outs. I cant say enough how much I appreciate everyones intrest in this project.

    I will be posting updates on my twitter: https://x.com/Shiny_Lillia
    and Insta: https://www.instagram.com/elighted_fire/

  • Huge Thank You and Progress Updates

    First things first, THANK YOU TO EVERYONE AUDITIONING AND EVERYONE WHO IS INTERESTED IN THIS PROJECT!

    It makes me so happy to know everybody is here to help/support!
    At this moment I'm trying my hardest to get everything as organized as I can, especially as at this moment it's just me

    At the moment, I will do updated character sheets due to improvement in art and convenience design wise.
    There is actually another character who will be posted at a later time as he does not have any lines in the beginning but keep an eye out!

    Once again I am grateful for all the interest in this project and will keep going day by day!

  • Fixed mess up regarding tags

    HI quick update, I didn't realize the tags didn't actually appear on each character so I updated each characters accent preference along with other things
    Again the circus is based from 1950s Britain
