I am currently working on creating a fan animatic adapting a story from The Book of Bill in the section “Sixer” (the scene starts on the page “The war in my mind” and ends after Ford wakes up)
If you’re a fan of Gravity Falls hoping to voice in this project but haven’t read The Book of Bill yet, just be aware this is a DIRECT adaptation, the progression of the story and almost all the dialogue is taken directly from the book. So there WILL be spoilers. Also the book is aimed at older audiences, and the scene I’m adapting is somewhat dark, so this is a 16+ project.
On that note, I need some VAs to voice Ford and Bill in this animatic! As said most of the dialogue is taken directly from the book. This is a fan creation, so it is unfortunately unpaid.
It’s ok if you don’t sound exactly like the characters, I’m looking more for convincing delivery than I am sound alike (though it is still important to me)
The due date is not set in stone. I will cast whenever the animatic is complete.
Only a couple requirements for this
Must be 16+ as previously stated
Must have decent mic quality with minimal background noise
Must have discord as it’s my primary form of communication
The Book of Bill has been really special to me, especially this scene, so I really hope to make it a reality! Thanks
(100% done)
Good news! The animatic is FINALLY complete along with audio editing (other than voice acting, obviously) I just have a few things to finalize outside the animatic itself before I can cast, but it shouldn’t take too long so I will likely being casting later today! Thank you all for your patience, I’m very happy with the current results and I know with voice acting it’s gonna be AMAZING!
I am making the slow crawl to finally completing this animatic, likely won’t be done before 31st but the goal is to finish it this week. Thank you so much for your patience I’ll promise we’ll be ready soon
Because I’ve not yet finished the animatic I’ve decided to update to deadline. I hope to finish the animatic before the new deadline and I still plan to cast as soon as it’s done. That’s all!
In this animatic, Ford is specifically his younger self from the 80’s (I believe?) though that shouldn’t affect how he sounds too much, in the show he sounds about the same young and old.
For the most part this role is just a lot of noises (yelps, gasps, etc.) and a couple small lines here and there. Because of that two of the three audition lines are from the book, but not actually in the animatic.
Direction is in parentheses, the lines are in quotes.

(Unable to remember his name) “That’s ridiculous! I’m—! …I’m…” (the memory suddenly returns) “I’m Stanf-“ (gone again)
(To Bill) “why are you doing this?! Why won’t you just leave me alone?”
(Having just learned about Bill’s dimension being destroyed) “that’s… that’s unimaginable. Did you ever track this beast, for revenge? I could help you… I could hunt it down!”
PLEASE DO NOT ADD VOICE EFFECTS TO YOUR AUDITION! Or if you do, also include a version that is unedited audio. I already have plans for how I’m going to edit Bill’s voice. I just want to hear your voice, not your editing skills.
On that note, Bill talks a lot in this, especially during the dream sequence where he has a pretty intense monologue. You’ll be required to evil laugh and do some improv, briefly.

(As if hosting a show) “Today's puppet is my old pal Sixer. Sixer’s had a rough day, but his night was even rougher!”
(To Ford, part of his angry monologue) “YOU’RE MY PROPERTY. DON’T FORGET IT. The hillbilly abandoned you, your father won’t want you returning without millions, you have no friends, and if you died out here in the snow, who would even miss you?”
(Evil laugh for me please! Doesn’t need to be longer than a few seconds)
