SPLIT SIGNAL
Project Overview
Split Signal is a character-driven animated thriller following two twin brothers separated at birth and raised on opposite sides of the world.
Malik Jules grows up in Seattle surrounded by power, wealth, and control.
Micah Jules is raised in London, learning survival through instinct, resilience, and perseverance.
For 27 years, neither knows the other exists.
A mysterious voicemail from a father they’ve never met brings them together and sets them on a path toward a truth hidden since birth—a truth connected to a powerful shipping empire, a criminal network, and a man known only as The Ferryman.
As they uncover the past, they find themselves pulled into a dangerous world of secrets, manipulation, and betrayal.

Voice Inspiration:
Emotional depth and maturity.
Audition Tone: Heartbroken. Final goodbye.
“If you’re hearing this, then I failed. Maybe not completely. Maybe you’re still alive because of the choices I made.
But I failed all the same. I wasn’t there for birthdays. I wasn’t there when you became men.
And I wasn’t there when you needed answers. Everything I did… every terrible decision… was to keep you alive. I only hope one day you understand why.”
Male | 50s | Caucasian
Primary antagonist.
Calm.
Patient.
Intimidating.
Voice Inspiration:
Sophisticated, commanding, quietly dangerous.
Isaac never needs to shout.
The quieter he becomes, the more dangerous he feels.
AUDITION SIDE
Tone: Calm manipulation.
“People misunderstand power. They think it’s fear. Violence. Control. It isn’t.
Power is patience. Power is knowing where somebody is going before they do.
You don’t stop a man like Malik Jules. You guide him. You let him believe every decision was his own. And by the time he realises otherwise… it’s already too late.”
Male | 30s | Latino
Isaac Vane’s enforcer.
Quiet.
Controlled.
Dangerous.
A man who speaks only when necessary.
Voice Inspiration:
Calm intensity.
Audition Tone: Controlled threat.
“Do you know what makes people dangerous? Not intelligence. Not strength. Persistence.
Most people stop when they’re warned. Most people stop when they’re afraid. You didn’t.
That’s why we’re standing here now. Because somebody gave you every opportunity to walk away. And you kept walking forward.”
Male | 50s | American
Former associate of Daniel Jules.
Loyal.
Guilty.
Conflicted.
A man trying to correct mistakes made decades ago.
Audition Tone: Regret and shame.
“I still remember that night. The rain. The screaming.
The look on Daniel’s face when he realised what he’d have to do. I should’ve done more. I should’ve stood beside him.
Instead I survived. And for twenty-seven years I’ve had to live with the difference.”
Female | 60s | British
Micah’s guardian figure.
Warm.
Protective.
Wise.
The emotional heart of the series.
Audition Tone: Loving concern.
“I know that look. You’ve had it since you were a boy. The one where you’ve already made your decision before you’ve asked for advice.
And no matter what I say, you’re going anyway. Just promise me something. Don’t let whatever you’re chasing change who you are. Because the world already has enough hard men in it.”
Male | Late 20s | British
Micah’s best friend.
Funny.
Street-smart.
Loyal.
Provides humour while remaining emotionally grounded.
Audition Tone: Humorous but sincere.
“Look, I’m just saying… maybe don’t chase mysterious criminal organisations. Maybe start smaller.
Take up running. Learn guitar. Get a dog. Normal people hobbies.
Because every time you tell me what’s happening, it sounds less like real life and more like one of those documentaries where everybody ends up arrested.”
Male | Mid 20s | American
Malik’s tech specialist.
Brilliant but anxious.
Audition Tone: Nervous urgency.
“Okay. So technically I found what you asked for. But before you get excited, I need you to understand how insane this is.
The records don’t line up. The companies don’t exist. Half the shipping routes disappear halfway through the paperwork.
I’ve never seen anything like it. Which is exactly why I think we should stop.”
Male | 50s-60s | American
Voice Notes:
Warm.
Fatherly.
Steady.
Audition Tone: Defensive but caring.
“Malik, listen to me. Not every secret was meant to hurt you. Some things stay buried because people are trying to protect what’s left. I know that’s not the answer you want. But sometimes the truth arrives long after the damage is done.”
