  • Kiyoko: Fellow vigilante who is currently undercover for Nina working as a secretary under Mr. Wang.


  • Draco: An ex-triad hitman. He plans to "resign" from the triad by betraying his superior, Mr. Wang.


  • Mr. Wang: The triad boss. He likes to keep reminding people that he's the wrong guy to mess with.


  • Mr. Dong: Commander of the small triad army who arrives at the building to kill the vigilantes. 


  • Logan: Fellow vigilante and getaway driver. He'll pick up everyone after it's all clear.


  • Detective Huang: Lead detective of triad and vigilante activity witnessing the aftermath of Nina and the vigilantes.


  • Detective Xu: Detective partner of Detective Adeline.


  • Chipper Man: A happy-go-lucky flashback guest star. He's a dead-man walking.

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS & INFO:


  • Applications will be open until Aug. 29th (unless an applicant is chosen early for the role).

  • Asian-American and Asian voice actors wanted!
    • Any Male voice actor can do "Chipper Man" role regardless of ethnicity.


  • Record yourself voicing the provided audition lines the best you can.

  • Include Discord or Email info for reliable contact.

  • Payment will be done through Venmo or Paypal.

DEADLINES:

  • Aiming to be complete at December 2020, but at most before the end of February 2021. 
    • There's no strict deadlines because this is a purely personal project with no one expecting me to finish this, but I prefer to finish this as soon as possible before I get pulled away from this project again.

GOALS:


  • To finish the voice acting part.
    • You'll be credited for Voice Acting in the completed film.


  • To finish this short film on my side.

  • I plan to submit this short film to festivals after completion. Festivals that focus on W.I.P, storyboard, & indie animated short films.

DIRECTOR'S STATEMENT:

This project was started and left unfinished in 2018. You can see where I left it from the provided video. The work you see from the video will have a lot of scenes, SFX, and some voice acting work replaced, added, and/or updated for the final product. All music in the video is temp. music, and will be replaced.

This film was an ambitious final project for a student animation class, but due to a tragic emergency, I had to stop production under further notice. 

I've kept this project close to heart, and have been gathering new ideas on how to make this better. Now that I've recently graduated and finished an animated film selected by film festivals under my belt, I want to return to this project now. This film is a passion project to me because I like exploitative/Tarantino-styled storytelling, and it was an attempt to do something different.

The film focuses on animated violence, so the animation will be emphasized more over the story's quality. It's purposely written to be like B-movies/badly-translated kung fu films to fit into the small space for story: simple, campy, and vulgar. 

Color isn't planned to be implemented in this short film for simplicity reasons. The only colors that will appear are red blood and gray shading.

I can take care of the art and the animation, I just need help with the voice acting parts.

Thank you, and I hope you consider helping me in this passion project.

Latest Updates

  • Weekend 6 Update/Last Regular Update

    Hello everyone! Sorry for the long silence, but I’ve started pre-production and taking care of a lot of things at the moment. Project: Tequila has started chugging forward, but I’m here now taking the time to spend sending this weekend’s update, the last update! • The Draco and Detective Xu roles will be chosen next week! I’ll make my decision on who’ll be cast for those characters after the Sept. 14th deadline! • I’ve set up an Instagram & a Twitter account dedicated for promoting Project: Tequila in the near future! I’ll share the links to those accounts here when I make the cast announcements! And that is it! There’s really nothing much to say since now I’m started the long journey in producing the short film. I’ll be taking care of all of the art stuff needing voice work help, so the majority of this project is in my hands. I hope when the December or February deadline comes soon, Project: Tequila will be finally realized from what I wanted it to be: a personal, yet entertaining short film about vigilantes fighting against triads. No universal themes, and no moral teachings, just something fun that I want to do as a storyboard artist! Anyways, I’ll announce who’ll be voicing the characters and the links to the social media accounts if you are interested in following what’s going on with the project. I’ll post whatever is happening, and what is produced behind the scenes in those accounts! Thank you, and have a new weekend!

  • Nina and Kiyoko Roles Officially Filled!

    The Nina role is officially given to Leader Looi and the Kiyoko role is given to the original 2018 Voice Actor member, Kaho Akiya. Thank you all for auditioning! The original 2018 Voice Acting team were also asked to audition in case they were still interested in reprising their roles, and only one of them has passed the mic quality test and gained a place in the shortlist. I like to thank everyone for auditioning for the role, and to the people who I shortlisted. It was an extremely difficult choice to make since Nina and Kiyoko are the two leading characters aside from Draco. Thank you for your patience, and thank you for participating in auditioning for Project: Tequila. The casting for the Draco and Detective Xu characters will be announced soon next month.

  • Mr. Wang & Mr. Dong Role Officially Filled!

    Mr. Wang role is officially given to J0J0 and Mr. Dong role is given to JP Wright. Thank you for auditioning! We’ll talk soon! I like to thank everyone for auditioning for the role, and to the people who I shortlisted. It was an interesting and difficult choice to make. Nina & Kiyoko will be casted soon! Thank you for your patience!

  • Weekend 5 Update

    Hello everybody! As Aug 24th comes very close, a lot will happen with casting and an unexpected development that'll offer new roles. • After tough decisions, I have decided to open two more Asian male roles for characters Draco and Detective Xu. I’ve been in contact with my original 2018 voice acting team who’ve voiced everyone from the old animatic, but due to irregular communication and unreliable mic quality, I’ve decided that it’s best to find more people who have standard voice acting equipment. Because of this, I’m extending the deadline of this project’s page to Sept. 14th, but this only applies for the Draco and Detective Xu roles. The rest of the roles will be filled around Aug 24th as planned. I may cold-call people who’ve auditioned for Mr. Wang, Mr. Dong, and Chipper Man, but until then I’ll have these two posting up there in case anyone likes to try. • The roles of Nina and Kiyoko will be announced next week! Sorry for the long wait, but I wanted to wait a bit more if there’s anyone else who haven’t auditioned until now. But now that the Aug 24th date is coming, I’m going to have to cast people soon and I can’t wait to get the voice work starting. It’s going to be a tougher decision to make, since I’ve received auditions from people all over the place: CCC, Instagram, Twitter, and also through direct email, so I’m going to take my time with this. Until then, I’ll make an update regarding who’ll be casted for the roles. Though I’ve extended the deadline for this project to search more voice actors because of unexpected reasons, I like to once again say thank you for everyone’s enthusiasm and participation in this project. Again, I had to leave this project undone because of a tragic emergency, and I always wanted to work on it again soon. I didn’t expect the level of participation at all since this is the first time I heard of Casting Call Club, but I’m very thankful to see that you guys believe this project is worth auditioning to without caring who I am. Not only there was a tragic emergency, but I had detractors that were against this project’s existence back when I was in college recently. People who claim to be diverse and open, but look down on anything that is remotely unique. The animation community is more socially conservative than anyone thinks, and it’s terrible to see how disingenuous it is to outside observers. I know that this project is not family-friendly or talking about universal truths, but this project has merit for what any media is for, to entertain, and Disney-styled storytelling or not, animation is for everyone, not only for anime-lovers or children. Anyways, pre-production of the storyboards and the animatic will start soon. It’s finally time to really get back updating the entire film. I’m very excited to see how it turns out in the near future! Thank you again for your participation, I hope to share this film when it's done later this year.

  • Weekend 4 Update

    Hello all! I hope all of your weeks went well! A couple things to mention for this weekend. • To the people who auditioned again for the Kiyoko role or have responded to my direct messages about it, thank you very much for your patience over this inconvenience. I’m sure you were painfully aware how the initial audition lines were not the best lines to work with, and I am sorry for providing such lines as a first impression of the character herself, but thank you again for understanding and doing another take! I’ll be making a shortlist of the voice actors soon as Aug 24th closes in. • The decision to cast Mr. Wang and Mr. Dong is still under consideration! I’m also still waiting for one more for one of the roles for their shortlist audition too. Nonetheless, I’ll make an announcement after this weekend on who’ll voice Mr. Wang and Mr. Dong! It’ll be an interesting choice to make for the two characters. Anyways, thank you to all who’re silently following this project, and please be patient before casting announcements and info about the shortlist stuff. Have a nice weekend everyone!

(Disclaimer: The explainer video above features temp. student voice work that I'd like to replace with professional performances.)

The Hitman of Project: Tequila.

Draco's ethnicity is Hongkonger/Cantonese, and he is a foreign resident with forged documents. He does not have a strong Cantonese accent after operating in the US for a long time.

Think of him like an Asian-Clint Eastwood, specifically Eastwood's Walt Kowalski character from Gran Torino.  

He is old-fashioned, vulgar, blunt, loud-mouth, and apathetic to other people's feelings. He is a professional that get jobs done and gets what he wants, no matter how dirty he goes to achieve them.

  • Wake up “Mulan”. Time to get what’s coming.

  • The triad can go fuck themselves. You assholes wanted to kill me despite the years of quality service I offered.

  • The guy had it coming! Besides, you would’ve gone psycho on him, like you did to me!

The Detective Partner of Project: Tequila.

Detectuve Xu's ethnicity is Chinese, and he is a foreign resident. He does not have a strong Chinese accent after operating in the US for a long time.

He is a by-the-books detective partnered with Detective Huang. Originating from China as an ex-PLA soldier, he moved to the US and became a naturalized citizen renouncing his citizenship of China to run away from his demons. He now works as a city detective, carrying a subtle melancholy in his voice indicating his pain from his past.

  • I don’t know, but we’ll figure this out soon.

The Protagonist of Project: Tequila.

Nina's ethnicity is Taiwanese, and she is an ABC (American Born Chinese). She does not have a Chinese accent, but it's preferred that whoever voices Nina is an ABC themselves, preferably Taiwanese-American.

I don't have an established fictional character to compare Nina with unfortunately, so I like to hear what any of you got.

She is a tough, ferocious young adult who took initiative on becoming a vigilante. She's head-strong and motivated, but vulgar and a bit impatient.

  • Keep him there! I'll see what I can find.

  • Wah-WHY THE FUCK DID YOU DO THAT?!

  • Oh shut up! I'm not the psycho that shot up a kid's birthday party.

(Disclaimer 2: I've changed the audition lines since I realized that the lines I've chosen are the boring lines that doesn't help with auditions. You can also check this link for more context on how the dialogue should sound like under the specific situations Kiyoko is in.)

The Partnering Vigilante of Project: Tequila.

Kiyoko's ethnicity is Japanese, and she is a foreign resident. She does not have a strong Japanese accent since she has lived in the US for a long time.

I don't have an established fictional character to compare Kiyoko with unfortunately, so I like to hear what any of you got.

At first, Kiyoko sounds "business-casual" since she's working undercover as an office secretary, but when confronted with her cover blown, she reveals a more aggressive, rogue personality. That personality is featured in the new lines when she joins up with Nina and Draco as the vigilante she is.

  • I'm afraid I can't do that.

  • Wait, you guys killed Wang?! The hell’s your problem?!

  • Say that again “dragon-boy”!

The Target/Triad Boss of Project: Tequila.

His ethnicity is Chinese, and he is triad member originating from China. He speaks English well enough, but he will have a little Chinese accent affecting his speech.

It's important to know that his name is pronounced as "wong". "Wang" is just the proper English spelling. That's why he uses his name as a pun to replace "wrong".

Need someone to make him sound like he's trying too hard to act intimidating. Nothing too cartoony-sounding, just someone who's trying too hard. 

Fun fact, I was the one who voiced Mr. Wang in the past. My performance is pretty terrible, and I don't want to attempt to voice-act again this time, so I need to ask for some help here.

  • You messed with the Wang man, or my name isn't "Mr. Wang"!

  • DRACO, THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING?!

  • Draco, I tried to stop them, really. You got the Wang guy here! (And I know because I am "Mr. Wang")

The Final Boss of Project: Tequila.

His ethnicity is Chinese, and he is triad member originating from China. He speaks English well enough, but he will have a little Chinese accent affecting his speech.

Think of him like Asian Arnold Schwarzenegger or Sylvester Stallone. Also look up the various Time Crisis boss characters. Their over-the-top screaming is perfect for this character.

The Dead Man Walking of Project: Tequila.

He'll be a generic guy. Nothing interesting about him, other than the fact that he's a family man who set up his kid a birthday party, and at one point, he borrowed too many loans from a triad organization in the past, so nothing too off-putting.

Also, you're free to mispronounce Mr. Wang's name. I think it'll be funnier for the Chipper Man to mispronounce his name as a subtle disrespect of Mr. Wang, despite trying to act polite in front of death.

Say the line in a hurried tone, as he's trying to keep his cool while attempting to be light-hearted and cheery, but he knows that he's a dead man.

  • Heeey Draco, heh, I don’t have the money, but, if you can tell Mister Wang that I’ll have it ready in a week, I can…
