The Lost Boys The Begging Phase One-Voice Actors needed
Project Overview
The Lost Boys the beginning is finally in production which means we are looking for some great talent to bring our characters to life. After editing the script with members of the team on the original movie, our team has been working hard to get this movie out.
Please note, all voice actors will be live recording with our voice director.
David is a 21 year old thief in 1906. As the self appointed leader of the group he is always moving things forward- leading them through heists, keeping them out of trouble and trying his best to keep them off the streets. When their lives are torn apart by Vlad, it is David who fights to save them.
VOCAL PLACEMENT-
Unlike the Lost Boys movie, David has a softer vocal placement in the beginning up until his Vampire transformation.
AABBCC format. Auditions submitted without it will be dismissed.
"Relax will ya? We'll get out of this soon enough. A few weeks of work for free lodgings and meals is nothing"
"This flower is as blue as your eyes. (Brief Pause) pretty"
(Post Vampire Transformation) "Your options are simple. Let the kid go or I rip him from your cold dead hands. You choose".
Marko is an 18 year old thief in 1906. As the youngest of the group, he sometimes isn’t taken seriously. Once an orphan immigrant from Italy, Marko met David before he met anyone else. He is not great at grammar in terms of his speech and he often gives off little brother vibes. He sticks by his brother's side whenever he is in control of himself.
VOCAL PLACEMENT-
Marko is a young adult. His voice is not terribly different from what it was in the 1987 film, however there is a lack of 80’s twang. He sounds a bit younger.

Dwayne is a 23 year old thief in 1906. As the eldest lost boy, he serves as a second to David and the rational thinker. Being a native american in a time when they weren’t well liked or appreciated, Dwayne carries himself with a cautious, careful energy. He does what he can to keep the boys out of trouble but when Vlad comes into the picture it becomes a bit difficult.

Paul is a 20 year old thief in 1906. Known for his street fighting skills, Paul often distracts so his brothers can pick pockets. He has always been a wild child, always jumping on plans without thinking them through. He was always closest to Marko, the two of them feeding off of each other's energy. He is fiercely loyal to his brothers until Vlad comes between them.

Jasper is a 19 year old thief in 1906. As Dwayne's only biological brother, he faces the same fears of his brother- being a native in times when it wasn’t safe to be such. He is usually quiet and well behaved, listening to David and Dwayne without complaint. It isn’t until Vlad comes into the picture that this youngsters life is completely uprooted and ruined for the worst.
