The Odyssey Short Animation
Project Overview
Hey! I am making an animation based on Homers Odyssey, this will focus on the interaction between Odysseus's crew and the cyclopes Polyphemus . The roles are:
Odysseus: An intelligent adventure trying to get home. A generic cinema hero voice is what I'm looking for. Needs to have a Greek accent, use this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T6RXpDXIEUc
If you cannot do this, try using a British accent.
Polyphemus: A gigantic cyclopes responsible for the murder of much of Odysseus's crew. Looking for a low primitive caveman esque voice.
Poseidon: The Greek god of the sea. He shouldn't have much lines. I need a low powerful sounding voice.
Various Crew Mates: Any voice type will do. Use a Greek accent (There is a link above)
Audition script:
Read this poem:
I shall not see on earth a place more dear,
though I have been detained long by Calypso
loveliest among goddesses, who held me
in her smooth caves, to be her heart's delight
as Circe of Aeae, the enchantress,
desired me, and detained me in her hall.
But in my heart I never gave consent.
Where shall a man find sweetness to surpass his own home and his parents?
In far lands he shall not, though he find a house of gold.
You can also use anything else that would seem fitting for the character in mind.
