Perfidy

Project Overview

What is Perfidy?

Perfidy is a fantasy drama, indie animation project based off a webcomic I'm currently working on. So far I have storyboarded a first episode (added above), with music and some sound effects, but I would love to get some voice actors for this part of the project!

Story Synopsis

Theo is not very eager to join his brother, fighting at the front. Before it's too late, he runs away into the forest. He planned to survive alone despite his general incompetence- Instead, his life now depends on an arrogant stranger he found stuck in a tree.
The guy's uniform is suspiciously unfamiliar, he repeatedly steals Theo's cloak, and he seems further away from home than he's willing to admit, but what other choice does Theo have? 


What are the requirements?

Preferably have a decent quality microphone with little to no background noise, experience is not a requirement.
Please be respectful and easy to work with.
Have a discord or means of contact through social media accounts (instagram, email)

Author's Note:

Please feel free to try different styles for the character's voices, the accents I have in mind for each character are definitely not set in stone! I've tried my best to describe them, but if you're looking for context for lines, the subtitled storyboard is linked above. Don't be afraid to improve if you want to, have fun! Hopefully there's enough to work as this is my first time holding auditions.

Theo

Role assigned to: HighKeyPink

Theo is the main character of this animatic, who is running away from home to avoid joining the war. A young and inexperienced person, naive in many ways, but not childish. He is a quiet loner type, that is usually quite anxious. However, he does deadpan now and then, especially when provoked, and speaks clearly. I imagine him with an English, or general European accent, (not posh) but it isn't a requirement, whichever accent comes most naturally to you is fine!   

  • Ugh. Fine. Can't believe I'm doing this, of all things. Oi, are you still stuck? Help me, please.

  • No! I have no food, I don't even have a fire. I'm gonna die out here. This is so much harder than I thought it was gonna be.

  • (Responding to "No, We have to go back eventually, right?") No, we don't. If my brother wants to die, fighting some random people, he can. But I'm not joining him. And it's not like he cares enough to come find me anyways, so we might as well just not go back.

Alexandre

Role assigned to: Matthew Ewald

Alexandre is a cocky, jock-ish, well spoken character from a noble background. But he speaks in a snappy, sarcastic tone. He is a character filled with self loathing, that is hidden behind showboating and sarcasm. His bravado stems from a lack of genuine self esteem, which becomes evident in the final audition line, when he speaks in a softer tone than before. He jumped off a plane, subconsciously to avoid fighting in the war any further. He still debates his allegiances, so his tone does shift nearer the end of this storyboard. He would most likely talk with an English, a French, or Germanic sounding accent. However, this isn't a requirement, whichever accent comes most naturally to you is fine!  

  • Oh, wonderful, you're awake. Finally! I wasn't sure you were still alive. You really don't look like someone who could survive in a forest like this by himself. Help me down and out of this plant ocean, and I will help you not die on the way. I'm a very persuasive person, right?

  • Wow, how unexpected, the useless imbecile has come back to beg for my help! ("Help me, please.") Just climb the damn tree. (He jumps down) Flawless landing. Take note of my brilliance, it might cure your incompetence.

  • I assume your desertion plan wasn't a very thought out one? You're such a coward, peasant boy. I don't feel guilty. I don't miss anyone either. I thought I would. Not that it matters. We have to go back eventually, right.

Role assigned to: MagicEm

Anya is the main lead's older sister. She is caring, assertive, and a little boyish. She cares a lot for Theo and is distressed by his absence, worried because she isn't there to take care of him. 

  • Richard. Richard have you seen Theo?!

  • And not be here when Theo comes back? I'm waiting for him at home! I'm waiting for Theo!

  • (A bomb explodes in the distance) What was that?

Richard is the eldest brother to Anya and Theo, and a a veteran of the war. He is a stern individual, easily irritated, and a natural well-respected leader. He chooses his words very carefully to be as direct as possible when sharing his view on things. He speaks confidently, in a deeper, thoughful tone. There is an edge of melancholy in most of what he says.  

  • Anya, you should've been evacuated this morning. You can wait for him in the city, where it's safe. I'm not comfortable leaving you here alone. That frontline is getting closer to us by the day. You can't stay here!!

  • We're going to the front tomorrow. It isn't a choice. Do you know how it looks if I'm supposed to lead a whole squadron. and I can't even lead my own brother!

  • She's not here to wear it anymore. She didn't want to leave before you came home. But you never came home, Theo.

Peter

Role assigned to: Zachary Roy

Peter is an older brother of Alexandre and an antagonist. He is a happy-go-lucky villain, who is apathetic to his own cruelty. His tone of voice is overly confident, conceited, and overall self-important, with a flirty edge. He is from a noble background, so speaks eloquently.  

  • What an ugly scarf. Barely worth taking, honestly. ("Do you have to steal everything?") Only most things.

  • Incredible, this scarf is ugly AND way too long! aha! Much better.


  • Some wisdom for you, brother. If something could become a threat, sooner or later, it will be one. And you should eliminate it before that happens. You'd do well to remember that.

Vince

Role assigned to: Alex Bui

Vince is a close friend of Richard. He is empathetic to the struggles of those around him and quick to comfort his friends. A loyal, supportive type of character who is soft spoken, but still very masculine. 

  • You haven't found her? It's ok, we'll look again tomorrow. Hopefully things settle.

  • I'm sorry, Richard, I am. But you can't blame him, he's a kid-

  • ("I have to bury it with her, don't I?") You don't have to. I think you should keep it.

Role assigned to: itsthepinoyboy

This is a background character who has rushed to join the scene and inform Richard of urgent information. He should sound slightly out of breath and anxious/worried.

  • Lieutenant! I'm sorry to be interrupting. It's urgent. They're heading toward a town not far form here, we need backup.

Enemy General

Role assigned to: Drew Lynch

A very classic, slimy villain. He talks as if he's playing with his food. He sounds bored of his power, and tired of his job.   

  • Fancy seeing you here. Done deserting yet?

  • Oh? Really? Because, to me, jumping out of an airship and going missing for multiple days, moments before a mission sounds very suspiciously like deserting.

  • Him? That's hardly a captive. (he pauses) Well, at least your little adventure was only 99 percent useless then.
