"Troubles, My Dear" is a fun collaborative project about a family of 6, and how they united through the troubles of their individual childhoods to create a loving and warm family. It explores their current day, as well as their difficult pasts and the events that lead them all to the uniting of their quite packed adoptive family.
Right now, I'm looking for a cast of people for a short film project for my final VCE Media production. The film is a comedy-mystery based around Mango, one of the main characters, as they begin to wonder exactly where they came from, and brainstorm the possibilities with their siblings. They imagine the most wackiest things; from being a child of a pistachio and a poison ivy, to the wild west, to them being a literal God, and are just thinking up all these scenarios that just don't make sense. At the end of the film, it will hint at where they really came from to leave the audience guessing!
I'm looking for people who are willing to voice act Imagen, Mango, Geo, Celestial, and Chip for this short film, as well as potentially stay for the long-term project for any future released stuff! Keep in mind, all of these characters are the large leads of the story! "Troubles, My Dear" is a project currently for fun, and will mostly be used for school projects and personal projects, but we're hoping to change that at some point in the future!
CONTENT WARNING
If you intend to stay after this production, you must be aware of the triggering topics within TMD. None of the characters reference any of these things in this film, as my school strictly bans these topics. However, these topics will be brought up in the characters' pasts in future productions.
Sensitive topics include: blood, cartoon violence, themes of abuse, implied drug use, self harm, themes of suicide, implied grooming
If any of these topics are triggering, or are too much to handle, please add a comment to your audition if you don't wish to return after this production. I prefer your health and safety over anything!
Due to these topics, we request that the people auditioning must be 15-16+ years of age!
Forgive me for the ways I describe the voices of some of the characters. They are very specific in my mind, and I tried my absolute best to describe them in a way that makes enough sense. For some of the characters, I couldn't find headcanon voices for them at all, so writing a description was the best I could do. I hope they're not too confusing. If they are, please let me know!
[If the accent for the characters says "all", don't pay attention to that please... we highly prefer British accents for this!]
Feel free to improvise!! I'd love to hear what you think suits the characters!!
Thank you so much for your interest! <3
I look forward to your submissions!
