Episode 1 is out!
Hey everyone, I posted the first episode! You can watch it here:
Hey! This is a casting call for a webseries I've been working on. The Devil She Knew is a short (5-10 minute episodes) 3D animated dramatic web-series I've been animating on my own. It's a dark (but sometimes campy) character-driven story blending supernatural horror, queer romance, and trauma. It follows a trans woman reconnecting with a toxic (and demonic) childhood friend as her life crumbles, exploring their relationship both in the present and in the past.
This is an animation team of just me, so the quality is...well, I'm trying my best lol. It's a passion project I'm making in my parents' house after losing my job, so expectations are on that level.
This gig is for episodes 1-6, but there are another 6 episodes this season and (hopefully) there'll be another season after that. If I actually make money from the show, I'll make sure to increase the pay appropriately, but I definitely can't promise that'll happen.

Casting Call: Xan
The role is for Xanthippe Ashborne: the love interest, retired mercenary, and demon. She's seductive, possessive, casually cruel, and genuinely lonely.
The voice I have in mind here is sort of a grown-up version of Azula from The Last Airbender: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yg8PtKWpC9k
You’ll play Xan as both an adult (28 yo) and as a child (12-14yo). The adult version is Azula, but deeper and breathier. The child version more like Azula, but in both cases with more either a neutral American accent or a California/West Coast accent.

Adult lines:
- Context: Xan is flirting with an escort. She's being aggressively charming, leaning in close. “The way you look. The way you smell... (giggle) And now I wanna taste you."
- Context: Xan gets caught in a lie and has to explain herself, but realizes she's in the wrong. “Look, I have better things to do than chase a girl who doesn’t want me…Shit. I’m sorry.
Kid line:
- Context: 13-year-old Xan is caught doing something horrific by her friend, who she's currently very upset with. "Oh, you didn't mean to ruin my life? Cool. Good to know. (sighs) And now this is worse. Much worse."
