"The Big Hit" short film
Project Overview
This project is a short film being created for Mumkeys film festival, i suggest you look into his video (here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0VWt96IZRQg ) to understand a little the somewhat lackluster presentation and quick timing of deadlines and dates of lines.
The Big Hit is , to put it bluntly, a love story where our protagonist, Zander, questions why his girlfriend, Andy, cares about him so much, and why he cares so much for their city that's about to be destroyed. It will have a early punk asthetic using punk music, from yours truly, as the soundtrack, and have undertones of self-pity and melancholy. it will be about 3 minutes.
i ask VAs to, when sending in their Auditions to 1) format it in MP3. 2) send an email to [redacted] .com with your subject being "(character your auditioning for) (preferred name for credits if chosen) 3) 1-2 day waiting period after due date for contact back.(more than likely a 1 day call back) and 4) have a discord for when the group reads over the script for the first time. (the reading will be done in a call, while you read and record your lines separately on a recording application, and when the session is done you send it over via email in MP3 format) 5) please have a decent microphone and sound cushioning. I'm not looking for a completely professional production, but i hold a standard for audio quality, and that's as long as your voice is clear and there isn't too much background noise, then that is acceptable. 6) please have a paypal for when it comes time for me to pay you.
the base price for voice acting will be $5 but depending on length of session and performance you may be given more (though not guaranteed considering I'm making this with the budget of a whole 1/2 lB of ground beef package)
this is here to say, while the project is somewhat lackluster, i would like to be able to get this done before the 1st of march, and if you have a busy schedule, then understandably i ask, do not audition, as i cant be able to work everyone's time schedule around yours. there will be a total of 5 people MAX in the call (myself, the three voice actors (i excluded one from the roles as he already has an actor) and my co-director) also as a note, depepnding on your role i may contact you in the future about future projects, thank you all for your time and i hope to be working with you very soon.

character desc: spunky, but gentle. Shows off her quirks but is never over expressive, only enough to rile up Zander. She loves Zander more than he’s willing to believe. She’s fairly soft spoken, but holds a hint of assertiveness. Holds an attitude of “fuck the world, i have myself” based on the song ‘gutter girl’ by hot flash heat wave
Voice: something playful and sarcastic, that can still be serious at times, not a voice thats too deep, but also not one thats too high. something to compare it to is something like English Asuka from evangelion neon genisis, or Amythest from Steven universe, though you are free to send in what you think fits the character best in your opinion.
Andy: c’mon! You know theres more to do than lay around smoking right?
Andy: who needs an education when you have something they cant give you in school?
Andy: we got a mile and a half left, ready to make the swing hot shot.
charachter desc:pessimistic, doesn't believe he deserves anything, has a crippling addiction to hitting things with his bat. Loves Andy, but doesnt think shes with the right person (himself) wants to be someone important, but does nothing to really accomplish himself. His baseball hits can knock anything into the atmosphere. Doesn't believe in himself, but leans on andy for support. He has a strange compassion and love for the world, simultaneously hating himself but loving everything that's around him. Usually does what zander puts him up for. Idea from “pink floyd- Careful with that axe eugene”
voice: Talks in a more monotone voice, while still being able to express emotion, but becomes super obvious when put under pressure. deeper voice, but not deep enough to be considered too masculine. talks somewhat like samurai jack (but not stunted) Frylocke (Aqua team hunger force) or Aizen (bleach), of course, if you don't think that fits this character too well you are free to send in a voice clip for how you feel this character should sound
Zander: wow, i thought being lame was a learned thing but i guess it's also a skill
Zander: leave it to the government, im sure they can handle it.
Zander: … maybe we got 15 minutes before it hits. Wanna go do something else before it does?
