Hello all!
I am looking to take a test drive into my own story creations by creating a short 2D animation (aiming for roughly 5 minutes or so in length) voiced by awesome actors such as yourself. The goal is to animate similarly to storyboard animations but cleaner and with more color - still plotting how it would work out in the end. I am looking for a few small roles. If this project goes well, it will grow into something else. If you are selected as one of my voice actors, you will not be required to continue your character into future projects but you will get first dibs for the first continuation. The title and names used in the project are stand-in names; official names will be known to the chosen VAs, and once the project is finished and released.
SYNOPSIS: Without spoilers, the story will follow the champions of two rivaling nations seeking to end a decades-long conflict. The solution is simple: send their best warrior in a fight to the death - champion vs. champion. The losing nation will accept defeat in the war and submit to the concessions of the victorious nation. Who will win?
I encourage beginners and intermediate VAs to try out. NO DEMO REELS OR EXTERNAL LINKS - just show me what you got when auditioning for the characters. Use the character information as a guidelines, they are not set in stone as I am still working on the project. Feel free to improve based on what you see. When you make your submission, please also give a brief info about you and let me know how to best contact you if not in CCC :)
Things to be aware of:
NO A.I. USED OR PERMITTED! Any usage found will automatically blacklist you from this and future projects with me.
NDAs and agreements to not use AI are required to sign. I highly value human authenticity and creativity.
Payment will be via PayPal unless you need another form that we can agree on (let me know if chosen).
--$20 USD paid each for the two main characters: "The Longsword Master" and "The Dual Sword Master"
--$10 USD paid each for the two side characters: "The Queen" , "The Old Master", and "The Rival"
Vulgar language or profanities are likely not to be used as I am still finalizing the script - this specific project will likely not have it, but future continuations may depending on the progression of the story.
-- I like to maintain clean projects friendly for all. However, they may be used if it enhances the story (though it would be on the cleaner end).
--If you are chosen, let me know if you are comfortable with it or not and I can adjust to your character accordingly :)
No specific audio equipment or software required, but your submissions should sound clean and clear with as close to no background noise as possible.
--Please make sure to use mono, not stereo. :)
Please have no more than 3 takes per line. Do what you feel is necessary to demonstrate your ideas, skills, and impression of the character(s). :)
This project is still being put together, which is why the deadline is in December. Some details are not set in stone. Character personalities my change, characters may be added, and other roles may be added.
If you have questions, please feel free to ask (maybe there is something I did not think about!). Thank you all :)
