Keeper of the Lost Cities Comic Dubs Final Call
Project Overview
Project Description
I make comic dubs for my favorite book series, Keeper of the Lost Cities, and I will be doing that for the first seven chapters of the first book, and every first chapter of the rest of the series. So far there are seven books, and the eighth one is coming out this November. There will be a ninth one. I've been working on this project since last summer, but throughout my senior year I hadn't been drawing much. I'm in search of someone who can possibly take over drawing the comics, but I will most likely end up drawing them out on paper, and digitally tracing them. I'm not expecting many artists to hand their talent over for free, but if you do, I would give you 2-4 weeks to draw each comic, and give very clear credit to the artist of the comics in each video.
The series is about a young girl, 12 years old when the story takes off, who became telepathic at the age of 5. One day when she's on a school field trip, she meets someone who is also telepathic, and he tells her that they're not actually human, they're elves. He brings her to a perfect world of fairy tale creatures and places, and she has to adapt to her new life while solving the mystery of who she is and why she was living with humans. What her purpose is.
Other Info
Drawing takes a lot of time for me, so I'm casting in advance, but I can always request lines in advance if you do not want to be a part of this project for as long as it will take (I'm anticipating a few years, I've already been doing it for a year and I'm only on the third chapter, plus I did another scene from the seventh book). You may give me the lines sooner than I need them, but just keep in mind it may be awhile before I actually publish the video they'll be a part of.
The first video I made is here:

(You can see the improvement I'm sure)
I'd prefer if you have a discord and are open to joining a discord server. If not that's okay, I mostly care about getting the right voices, but it's easier for me to manage all the actors on one server.
Also, I encourage you to try as many of the roles as you feel you're capable or comfortable to do. I might not think your voice fits for the character you do audition for, but I might think it totally fits for a different character. It's hard to know if your voice might fit another character when you're not voicing the other character. And it always saddens me because someone might submit a really good audition, but I don't think their voice fits that character. Also, since many of these characters are minor, I might double cast someone if they can change their voice enough for multiple characters.
For the art casting call, here is a link to my deviantart where you can find all the comics I've drawn for this series listed under "KotLC Art and Comics" :
When you are logged in, you can comment, add submissions, create projects, upvote, search open roles, and way more. Login here.
Go to my deviantart listed in the description, find on of the KotLC comic pages I drew, and draw one of them in your style. Do it in any format you want.
Alternatively you can go onto Barnes and Noble, find Keeper of the Lost Cities, and select a section from the chapters available to read for free, and draw and submit that (Or you can access these chapters to help you redraw one of my pages). Assuming you don't own the book (series).
Say something you think would fit
Keefe is quite the character~~ he's a wisecracking prankster, a flirt, jokester, and smug (in a harmless way). He also has a huge crush on Sophie, and does dumb things because he thinks he has to. Under his jokester mask, he's really sincere, caring, and broken. He wants to make things right, and he feels like it's his job, and that doing it will make him a better person. Definitely a fan favorite character, especially in the Sophie shipping universe (I ship Sophitz tho~). Aged 14-16
I have heard quite a few auditions for this character, and he is a role I want to find a relatively perfect fit for. There's been a few auditions I was pleased with acting wise, but I also want to find the right voice for Keefe, which is proving to be difficult. Please don't let this intimidate you--this is just so you know that if I don't choose you, it's probably because I just don't think your voice fits the character.
What are you waiting for?
Don't tell me the great Sophie Foster is afraid.
Want me to push you? (off a cliff--this isn't a line) *laughs*
Come on, it'll be fun--for me, at least.
Well, last time we were kinda falling to our death and stuff, so it's a little blurry. But I'm pretty sure I just cling to you and scream like a banshee while you tear a crack into the universe, right?
He is part of an evil organization, and he's pretending to be a random passerby in attempt to kidnap Sophie. He comes to play later in the series, but he's not a major character so he never talks in the first chapters except for one chapter in book one.
Would you mind grabbing her?
Thank you so much.
She's my sister's dog, she hates me. Not my sister--the dog.
I don't suppose you'd be willing to carry her back to my sister's house. It's just a few blocks away, and she seems to like you better than me.
Sophie's human mother, also Amy/Natalie's mother. Should be concerned, worried, but also angry.
There you are! (Sophie was missing for a little while)
Yes, she's home now. Don't worry, I will be having a *very* long talk with her.
That was Mr. Sweeney calling because he couldn't find you at the museum. What were you thinking, wandering off like that--especially now, with the fires making everyone nervous? Do you have any idea how worried I was? And Mr. Sweeney was about to call the police!
Sophie's human father, also Amy/Natalie's father. Very playful and positive, no negative vibes here. Calls Sophie Soybean.
And how's my Soybean?
You okay, Soybean?
*laughs* Sorry, Soybean, we're your parents--whether you like it or not.
Oralie is compared to a fairy tale princess, and described as having a fragile and lovely voice. She's a soft, sweet, and delicate person. She's an empath, so she can read the emotions of people through touch.
Give me your hand, Sophie
I feel a lot of fear and confusion.
But I've never felt such sincerity. And there's something else. . . . I'm not sure I can describe it.
You have my vote.
She's confused.
But not lying.
