Hi! I hope you're all having a stellar day. I am a hobbyist artist and my biggest dream in life is to create an animated series called Nebufaery. Lately I've been making a prequel comic for the cartoon, but due to physical and mental health barriers I'm unable to draw at the moment. So until I'm okay enough again, I want to make the first Nebufaery audio drama/story reading, which will serve as a prequel to the comic! So... a preprequel?
You can drop by here if you want to check out the comic so far.
The audio drama will simply require three voices; the narrator, Quasar, and Ianthe. The story is drafted but not finalized; at the moment it seems as if it will end up being anywhere between 1,000-1,500 words total. So not too long for a story. The story contents may be rather confusing as there is a lot of vagueness and it is a made-up world. It's a sort of prequel that will make more sense later on.
The plot is pretty much how the main character Quasar met her current best friend after a mysterious tragedy. Nothing too complex, just giving a little insight to these characters. There's no swearing or other vulgar types of language.
Sadly I'm barely an adult and my family is financially unstable so I can't offer much money, but I'm offering what I can. I understand if it's not enough for you to feel like giving it a try. The completed audio drama will be posted to Youtube and you will be credited in the video as well as the description of course.
Thanks for looking!
After accidentally causing a tragedy in her family, Quasar is stuck in the first stage of grief; denial. She seems peppy and energetic, perhaps overtly so at times, but she is emotionally destroyed inside. She tries her best to hide this fact from others--and even herself.
Being a made-up species, accent doesn't really matter. She is approximately 15 years old in this story. Her voice is a mix of cute and tomboyish, with some gravel/scratchiness if possible, but still more on the high end of pitches. Maybe like Bev the turtle from those new Littlest Pet Shop World of Our Own shorts, but a little younger sounding. It's fine if your voice doesn't fully match what I have described, you can still give it a shot and I'll see if I like it!
I'm fine. Everything's fine. It's all gonna be okay. It won't be this way forever! Things will go back! It was just one silly little mistake!
How do you take care of so many?
No, nothing's wrong! Why do you keep asking?
Ianthe is a very calm and collected Nebufaery whom Quasar meets and will become friends with. As mentioned before, since these are made-up creatures rather than humans, any accent is fine. She is 18 years old in this story and should have a sweet, soothing voice. She sounds wise but still has a childlike streak. She is worried about Quasar and wants to help her with whatever she's dealing with, even if the only way she can do that is by having a seemingly simple conversation.
That's my garden. I've been growing it for years!
Are you okay? I don't mean to be intrusive, but you look rather distressed.
I believe you should give it a try. Nurturing life can help you heal.
You'll be reading the story aside from the character lines. Any gender or age is fine. All it needs is a pleasant, clear voice good at describing things with decent emphasis and emotion.
Oh and if you need help pronouncing names, just ask me. Nebufaery is pronounced Neh-bew-fairy. It's a combination of nebula and faery.
How long had it been since she last stepped outside?
Quasar squinted at the sky. It looked different. It was still dotted with little white stars and adorned with wispy clouds, but the vibrant blue color she remembered was now much paler, and seemed to fade into a lavender tone.
It was too much effort for her to be aware of her surroundings. She walked past colorful buildings and lively Nebufaeries, some of which threw her concerned looks, but she felt as if she were the only being in the world right now.
