URGENT: Need voices For Fantasy Short Film
Project Overview
Hey all! I'm doing a video for my media final and I've run into a lot of bumps along the way. Long story short, it was supposed to be live action but there were some stuff ups and I'm left with nothing for my final. I decided to just use frames from my storyboard for the visual part and get voice actors to do the voices. So that's what I need all you lovely folks for!
Ther film is about a small group of misfits who find themselves in possession of a dragon's egg. The next day everything goes wrong and the group's lives are in danger. They're attacked by a group of mercenaries and are forced to come up with a quick plan. The plan goes right for the most part but not without cost. (You can read the full script in that dropbox link)
I need various voices, some main and some misc. I'd prefer accents from the UK, but I'm open to various different accents. The main three (Abbie, Alastair and Roland) will have their original genders, but I'm also open to changing the genders of other characters and if you want to audition with other lines in the script, then by all means submit them too! I just really need something to submit for my final.
Here's a dropbox link to the script, so feel free to read that. Also, whoever I pick for the various characters might have to record misc lines too, like panting (from running), snoring, etc. but I'll let you know if I cast you! I also want to pay everyone for their work (even if it is a measely $5) to try and show my appreciation.
I think that should cover anything, but let me know if you have any questions. Cheers in advanced!

*Snoring*
At the start of the film there's two guards that chase Abbie after she steals the dragon egg... among other items.
"Hey!" (Alerted)
"I don't know... I mean, should I?" (Unsure)
"I am always here for you friend." (Caring)
Voice Characteristics: Agressive, Gruff, Uneducated
The mercenaries would look not very official and would look more like grubby bandits. The mercenaries are also a big band of misfits, just more bloodthirsty.
*Various Barbaric Yelling*
*Laughing*
*Various Taunts*
Voice Characteristics: Gruff, Rough, Uneducated
Merick is basically the second in command of the band of mercenaries. He envies that Jasper takes most of the spotlight and takes charge of most situations, he really hates being 'second best'. He's tough and not the smartest but he has a softness and kindness that he often hides.
"There she is!" (Excited, Malicious)
*Evil Laugh* (After finding out he'd been dupped. Disbelief, Angry)
"I was gonna bring you with us, but it looks like it’s your lucky day. You can watch him die instead." (Agressive, Angry)
Voice Characteristics: Very Charming, Commanding, Well Spoken, Confident
Jasper is a highly intelligent, charismatic man. He has gone undercover with the mercenaries to get to the dragon egg first. However his intentions aren't greedy or malicious. He doesn't wish anyone to get hurt so he often takes the helm of the negotiations. He's able to conduct himself in a cold, cruel way despite his nature which is warm and caring.
"Greetings! I believe you have something that we need." (Delighted, Confident)
"Hand over the egg and nobody gets hurt." (Confident)
"Keep it safe Aleida [a-leader]! It’s more important than you think! Don’t let go of it!" (Concerned, Desperate)
Voice Characteristics: Gruff, Barbaric, Deep, Agressive
Ulurik is a tall, tough, cruel mercenary who enjoys the heat of battle. He only really does it for the thrill and less for the coin.
"This is the end for you!" (Agressive)
*Scream of Agony* (He's just had his hand chopped off)
*Dismissive Grunt* (Agressive)
Voice Characteristics: Clear, Young, Charismatic
Roland is a slim, smart, charming young man who enjoys adventure and is a natural leader. He's an orphan as his parents were killed in a war and he's been living on the streets. He made friends with Abbie and Alastair one day when looking for food to steal and they've been inseparable ever since. He ultimately longs for excitement and adventure and becomes easily bored when told to stand still. He is also loyal and kind to those who are good to him.
"I find your face amusing." (After scaring Abbie. Amused)
"I... I had a mishap with that merchant’s wife." (Cheeky, Amused)
"One of them snuck up on me… heh." (After getting stabbed. Amused, In Pain)
Voice Characteristics: Clear, Young, Friendly
Alastair is a slim, quiet, introverted guy. He prefers to sit in the company of others while reading a book as opposed to telling or singing stories of wenches and knights. He's intelligent and is able to adapt to just about any situation he's thrown in. He's loyal and kind to most, if not all people around him and prefers to avoid conflict if possible. Him and Abbie became friends in the orphanage, where they grew up together and have had each other's backs since.
"It’s a dragon’s egg." (Amazement)
"Apples… Again. It’s all I could get. Wilderhorn’s been setting up more guard patrols lately." (Disappointed, Somewhat Ashamed)
"You come back safe, alright? Stay safe." (Concerned, Caring)
Voice Type: Clear, Alto
This character was originally played by myself, but I'm up to hear what others could do with this character. Abbie was also an orphan and grew up with Alastair and later, Roland. She's strong and her will isn't easily broken. She's also small and very agile.
"Roland! Why did you sneak up on me?" (Hushed)
"Are you sure it wasn’t that lusty wife?" (Jokingly)
"Roland? Roland! *slaps him and he comes to* Just stay awake, please…? Just stay awake." (Concerned, Terrified)
