Riptide: Episode 3 Casting Call (Animated Series)

Project Overview

Intro:

Hello all! I’m Sophia, the director and animator of the animated series “Riptide”, on YouTube! I’m here looking for voice talents for episode 3 of my show. Let’s get into it!

Synapsis:

Riptide is a PG-13 indie animated series. The show revolves around the lives of Wren, Owen, Stella, Kai, and Violet; 5 adolescents trying to figure out their feelings toward each other and the world around them. The show begins as a comedic, slice-of-life story, but quickly progresses into a serious, action-packed drama as new faces threaten the peace and safety of our main characters, and once strong bonds of trust are broken. The overall vibe of the show is light-hearted, feel-good, silly, and relatable as well as episodic and dramatic. The show takes place in the early 2010’s with themes of: Identity (including neurodivergency and culture), love (including LGBTQIA+), courage, friendship, family, and many more!

  • If deadlines are abided by, new episodes should be released every 3-4 months.

  • If a voice actor refuses to communicate or "ghost" me, they will be replaced promptly in order to keep production of the episode rolling.

  • Voice actors are expected to communicate and converse with other members of the team respectfully and maturely to create a warm, friendly environment to the team.
