KILLDEER (Webcomic Promo Animation)

KILLDEER (Webcomic Promo Animation)

Project Overview

PROJECT OVERVIEW & ADDITIONAL INFO:

Currently creating an animated trailer/proof of concept for my webcomic, KILLDEER. Though the series is available to read on Webtoon and Comicfury, this project looks to help promote it while potentially opening the gates for similar projects like this (Shorts, mini-sodes &c.).

Synopsis: Malcolm and Frances, two jaded 'Cult-Keepers'; tumble down a dark rabbit hole uncovering the lies, dark truths and insidious roots of their home: The Micro-Province of Killdeer.

Link to series: https://www.webtoons.com/en/canvas/killdeer/list?title_no=871427

NOTE: I can assure you that audio submissions accepted or declined WILL NOT be used to train AI whatsoever as it goes heavily against my morals and beliefs. I am an artist by trade who is strongly against the use of AI, especially in the field of the creative arts. Choosing to use AI diminishes the charm that the human touch brings to a project!

More info on the project & open roles can be found here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1p5IttNSBpnO3flKJlcWY4qYvUw-NojF2yfWxdX_Cjg0/edit?usp=sharing

DEADLINE IS MARCH 31st!

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS:

HOW WILL I KNOW IF WAS SUCCESSFUL?:

A: Both Successful and Unsuccessful VAs should expect to be contacted directly by me 48hrs post deadline where I will let you know of your outcome.
For Successful applicants, this correspondence will include official project information (Script, Discord Link, Production Progress & Notes etc.) Unsuccessful applicants this correspondence will include notes - expanded upon in next question.

I HAVEN'T HEARD FROM YOU IN A WHILE, HAVE YOU LISTENED TO MY AUDITION?
A: As I work full time I can't guarantee prompt responses. However, when apps are submitted I do take the time to listen to them all after work and keep tabs and notes on a personal 'Application Tracker'. Notes that I have written on there will be supplied to each respective applicant whether you are successful, unsuccessful or shortlisted.

HOW WILL PROJECT COMMUNICATION TAKE PLACE?: I communicate primarily through Discord. If you are unfamiliar with this application, you can still audition, however, I strongly, strongly recommend participation through Discord.

IF THIS PROJECT BECOMES PAID, HOW MUCH WILL I BE PROVIDED?
A: I'm currently proposing $5 USD per line. Unfortunately due to the current state of the Australian economy, I can't offer much but I want selected VAs to be compensated for their time and effort.

HOW WILL PAYMENT BE PROVIDED?
Paypal is my go-to! Though other payment methods can be discussed and arranged personally if required.

Gob 'Moosemire' Rachid
open
Paid: Flat Rate 5 USD

$5 USD PER LINE!! CCC DOES NOT HAVE A PER-LINE OPTION

Gob Rachid. MID 40’s. Transman. Lebanese Canadian.
(VERY MINOR SPEAKING ROLE - 1 to 2 lines)


He knows a hell of a lot more than he lets on. Something tells me he’s scared…


Gob; or Moosemire as he’s known professionally, is one of Killdeer’s 6 unconventional Cult leaders. He is also the franchisee owner of Canada’s last remaining, ‘Moosemire’s Family Eatery’.


Despite being Killdeer’s youngest pharisee, Gob knows the hot and cold of the cult game. The man is a moose of many secrets and possesses a level of experience and know-how to which his rivals tend to envy. He may appear like he’s got it all together, but Gob fears himself meeting the same fate as his predecessors.


VOICE NOTES:

For Gob, he has a fairly specific sound. I tend to picture him having a brash and distinctive voice.  


Reference VA: Jason Mantzoukus, voice actor for Alex Dorpenberger from Close Enough is the closest point of reference.

 

Voice: Mid-range, brash, can come off as snarky, pessimistic or blasé, somewhat on edge, Masculine.

Vocal Range: Mid 30’s to 40’s - VA not required to be in this age bracket.


NOTE: All VA Auditions will be considered, however please keep in mind that Gob is a transman, and I would love to give this opportunity to Trans VAs if I can.

$5 USD PER LINE!! CCC DOES NOT HAVE A PER-LINE OPTION


Numbers traded one cult (the military) for another the day he lodged his discharge forms into his chain of command. He, along with Keeper partner, Blunt, now serve under Trident as The Sovereign’s closest constituents and personal right-hand men.


An ex-Grunt (infantry) with a passion for high octane carnage, Numbers and Blunt are always trying to out-do their last job in terms of performance and presentation. 


Being part of a group of blood-hungry mercenaries such as ‘The Keepers’ has its fair share of responsibilities, namely upholding reputation. Numbers tries to keep up a dark and mysterious persona but can’t help but keep himself grounded and human and is often prone to get excited about the small things - Like the prospect of a new client or a new target.


FOR VA Applicants: For Numbers, I’m looking for a voice that bleeds cool. Numbers is a guy who tries to keep up a dark and mysterious persona but can’t help but keep himself grounded and human and is prone to get excited about the small things - Like the prospect of a new client. 

The sort of guy to describe his day-to-day like this, and as I do not have a specific voice in mind, I am happy to see what you can bring to the table!

  • (Relaxed and slightly excited) “I don’t know what it is about new clients, but just thinking about it gives me the warm fuzzies. Can you feel it too?”

  • Militant, Sharp, in deep concentration) “Yes, My Sovereign. We will track him down to the best of our abilities, my only question for you, is do you want him dead or alive? ”

  • (Rambling, trying to educate and justify his train of thought) “C’mon, think about it: Charles Manson was all old tactics?! He would lure in hitchhikers and hippies with drugs, shit music and his questionable good looks and charisma. I don’t think old tactics would be out of the question here.”

$5 USD PER LINE!! CCC DOES NOT HAVE A PER-LINE OPTION

MALCOLM NORDMEYER. MID 40’s.CANADIAN - (MAJOR SPEAKING ROLE)


Killdeer's resident "Yes-Man" and cult enthusiast, Malcolm believes he's always the smartest person in the room. In reality, he's just an incredibly cocky, naive smart-ass.


Despite all that, Malcolm is genuinely an empathetic and earnest person, even if he does come off as a bit sarcastic or matter-of fact.


Having only known the Micro-Province of Killdeer, with a risky, underpaid job and the responsibility of caring for his terminally ill mother, Malcolm is a walking-talking disaster — though he just hasn't realized it yet.


VOICE:

For Malcolm, I saw a warm, masculine voice but one that’s not afraid to shy away from emotion at times.

Voice Reference: Jay McCarrol (musician and Actor) From Nirvanna The Band The Show.

  • (In Deep thought, proposing a theory) “It was too off-script to have been their ‘doomsday plan’. It was too messy. too reckless. Personally, I believe that there may be someone or something else out there killing Killdeer’s Cultists.”

  • (Frustrated, Annoyed and slightly neurotic) “I thought I new everything but I was wrong! I was so, so wrong! This is far bigger than you and I now - I think I know who exactly is doing all this!”

  • (Malcolm walks into an old abandoned Church, looking around in disgust and awe) “Augh, wow. This… This is the most disgustingly beautiful thing I have ever seen in my life.”

Connie Sweeney
open
Deferred: Agreed Amount

$5 USD PER LINE!! CCC DOES NOT HAVE A PER-LINE OPTION

Connie Sweeney. Mid 40’s.Irish Canadian - (VERY MINOR SPEAKING ROLE - 1 to 2 lines)


Labeled as ‘Canada’s Mom’, Connie is a phenomenon in the eyes of both the Canadian public and Canadian pop culture as *we know it.


Her charisma and likability isn’t the only thing she’s got going for her; she’s also dabbled in film and TV acting, brand collaborations and heavily but humbly involved in philanthropy.


Originally from rural Ontario, Connie is known too many as a ‘true underdog’. Her down to earth and friendly persona makes her a prime idol to the everyman. This is not to mention her background as a woman who came from nothing, and worked her way up to make Trident Maple the powerful and influential multi-business empire it is today.

VOICE NOTES:

For Connie, she is unfortunately the one role I am particularly picky on as she has a very specific sound. All auditions will be considered nonetheless but I HIGHLY SUGGEST reading these notes to support a successful outcome.


Here are some voice notes that I have for her:


  • She has an accent that is a combination of the Rural Ontario dialect mixed with a generous splash of  Minnesota Nice/Midwestern Mom 


  • I must preface that she does NOT have a southern or Irish accent.


  • The way she speaks is very down to earth, friendly and cozy.


  • She is very confident and charismatic in the way that she speaks and manages to hold her own despite being the poster woman for a major corporate conglomerate.


*If nil Auditions are successful, the role will be null*

  • (calm, endearing) Well, I am just so glad you've decided to join the Trident family! I can assure you that you're not making the wrong decision at all.

  • (trying to keep composure & persona in check) Oh... uh, so you're the 'Concrete Cowboy' I've heard so much about...

Paid: Flat Rate 5 USD

$5 USD PER LINE!! CCC DOES NOT HAVE A PER-LINE OPTION
Frances Wojicki. NB . Mid 40’s.CANADIAN. 
(VERY MINOR SPEAKING ROLE - 1 to 2 lines)


Frances likes to think of themselves as a charming, charismatic problem solver - intelligent and compassionate. In reality, they're feisty, immature, reckless, impatient, annoying, destructive, and violent.


After 25 years of working pro-bono for Killdeer's corrupt Premier, Victor Valence, and his shady 'Cult-Keeping Agency,' Frances is slowly losing their mind. The only thing keeping them from quitting is Valence's hold over them and the waiver they carelessly signed.


VOICE NOTES:

Frances has a rough around the edges personality and possesses a fair wack of street smarts when compared to Malcolm, so I think it would only be fair for them to have a voice that is reminiscent of those traits.

Reference VA: Akwafina voice Actress for Zhen in Kung Fu Panda 4 is the closest point of reference.

Voice: Raspy, husky, with a bit of bite, laid-back

Vocal Range: Mid 30’s to 40’s - VA not required to be in this age bracket.

  • (bitter, muttering to self) Damn greedy bastard, making us to do his dirty work pro-bono! Surely there’s something illegal there ...

  • (excited, self-confident) God it’s been forever since we’ve scaled a fence! I can now finally re-release my inner beast:
(Whispers to self) the pygmy marmoset….

  • (Betrayed, gutted) I can't believe you thought I'd be cool with you going behind my back like that, you're crazy, Malcolm!

VICTOR VALENCE. 65-70yrs. CANADIAN. (MAJOR SPEAKING ROLE)

The ambitious and financially irresponsible Premier of Killdeer; Victor Valence aims to push the Micro-Province into the public eye, fully aware of its ‘little’ cult problem. 


An eccentric at heart, he's the type of person willing to do whatever it takes (albeit half-heartedly) to get what he wants, even if it means making lucrative deals without paying those who help make his dreams a reality. 


Speak to some of the locals and they’ll possibly tell you there’s something a little off putting about the guy…

Voice Reference: Kevin Kline (Mr. Fischoeder, Bobs Burgers)

  • (Jovial, as if pitching a million dollar idea) "Hi, I'm Victor Valence: Former millionaire playboy and now proud premier of this wonderfully unique land of ours!"

  • (Calm, collected, as if trying to ease tensions) “Now, you may have heard some rumors that we have a large cultist population, but that's simply not true! What we have is a colourful community with a lot of love to give and a lot to offer.”

  • (Sighs in faux disappointment) “I put trust in you two, to be the little Bobbies who keep Killdeer’s most feared cults in line, but you two can't understand a simple task?”
