Hello!
If you like orphan children and mermaids, friendship, and bittersweet goodbyes then please consider checking out my project!
My name is Kyle Mathison, and I'm a college student from BC, Canada studying digital art and animation and YES... This will be a paid gig. Which really shouldn't be a grand statement between artists but oh well!! (I haven't researched this site much, but heard rumours that projects often were unpaid)
The story is set sometime in the 1700s—though this won't be relevant to the voice acting— and revolves around a boy named Hugo, who is a fairly lonely orphan living in a well meaning boarding home. He doesn't have many friends, save for a mermaid child his caretakers bought to study. They become very close, and the short is sadly about the day Hugo decides to help his friend escape back to the ocean.
Because of time constraints there isn't very much dialog, but I will need some reactionary sounds like laughing, gasping, yelling, etc. Also, I have started this project early so I can get a head start on the new semester, and that is the only reason the images are lacking!
Here's a link to the working script! (and please pardon it not being exactly industry standard )

I'm going off of other sites in terms of budget, but depending on the quality of recordings provided, experience and all that, my budget is between 75-150 USD. However, if this seems too low, let me know! I am a student, so I can't do much, but as a fellow artist it is important to me that I pay what you feel you are worth. Thanks!
