Voice actors wanted for an original animation pilot "4U"

Voice actors wanted for an original animation pilot "4U"

Project Overview

Lads and ladies~! This is a project I've been writing for a while now and have finally finished a script and storyboard for. Hope you like aliens, monsters, robots and adventurous shenanigans~




The storyline in it's simplist form can be summed up as... In an alternate timeline set in the year 2047, North America now has a totalitarian government and is invading the rest of the planet as well as moving on to others to claim for the S.I. Empire (USA is now SI). Well, you can't try to create a cruel empire without at least a few not being too down with it all. The story follows a band of both humans and aliens, all with a unique set of skills to slowly take back what the SI took one small bit at a time. This pilot follows just one of those missions to see just what its like for those running the show and the determined band of humans, monsters & aliens trying to turn the tables.




Try out for anyone you want but this is a big project and I want it to be as high a quality as possible, so auditions that have static, odd breathing, any kinda background noise or something that makes the audition sound anything but crystal clear wouldn't be preferable.



There will be no bias towards casting choices. People who know me and those that don't all have equal chances of getting a role and will be chosen on voice alone.



But with all that said, check out the avaliable roles and even if you don't audition, maybe have a look and help me pick the best ones~



Also, don't stress too much about pronunciations. The main focus is the voice at this point.



- Voice actors must have a discord account as that will be the main method of keeping contact with everyone.



(side note: the characters are rough sketches I shot out to give a base idea for what the character will look like to give potential actors at least some kinda visual to go from when auditioning. These designs are susceptible to change either a little or a lot. The art shown doesn't reflect the final product. Not all are there right now but I'll update them soon~ The final product will look waaaaay better and of a MUCH higher quality, trust.)



Auditions will go on until a voice for each character has been chosen. Ignore the audition closing date.



Progress and animation updates as well as the final project will be posted here -->

This project is gunna be amazing~! But it could be even better with your help even if you aren't auditioning to be a voice actor~! If you dabble with any of the following...
- Animation (3D (texturing not necessary))
- Colourist (colouring the frames, shading, making it pretty)
- Sound mixing/music design etc.
- Even just art, not just animation but general art~
Hit me up with a message and we'll take it from there. :D Not any of the following? Well bucko, you're still in the clear~! This project is completely funded by the one and only me and I just finished me degree so you can bet I have a steady income (plot twist, I don't). Meaning I could use your help on my shiny patreon page~!

--> https://www.patreon.com/user?u=4011453

Even the smallest donation would do me a world of good~! :D

Any questions~? Wanna come say hi~? I now have a community Discord server for anyone to jump into~ :D

Latest Updates

  • Voices to be cast soon~!

    Lads and ladies~! Thank you all for being so patient with me~! Good news~! Within the next couple of weeks, I'll hopefully be casting the rest or most of the remaining auditions~! So get in those auditions if you haven't already~! Then, it's full speed ahead with the animating and sound mixing for the scripted lines~! Super excited~! :D Once auditions are closed and you still want to keep updated on the project as I work on it (I'll post updates as I go along etc.) then you can check out me youtube channel I'll be posting the updates on~! --> https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWIS9cWugjWbMNOEMAlbGLA?view_as=public It's a bit barren at the moment for animation, but that'll change soon~ Thanks for reading and being patient with me while I finish off me uni degree that'l conclude in the next few days~! :D

  • Deadline email, anyone?

    Lads and ladies~! If you got an email saying the deadline for auditions has rocked up and auditions are closed, feel free to totally and completely ignore it~ I've been SO busy with university work that it totally slipped me mind to extend the deadline (you gotta do that if you don't have a paid memberships or whatnot) for auditions~ Sorry if anyone got a bit confused or whatnot, but don't worry~ hopefully I'll be casting more voices soon once I get a break coming up~

  • Aesthetic boards added~!

    I've had pinterest aesthetic boards for all the characters for a little while now and since a couple of the characters still need me to draw them (university work is killing me right now) I figured I'd attach the remaining characters to be cast aesthetic boards in their audition boxes~! I'm hoping it'll give you all a bit of extra help as to what the characters are like and help give a somewhat visual idea for the characters that still haven't been drawn yet~ That's all from me for now~ I hope you'll find the board links useful~! Thanks for reading and good luck, lads~!

  • Project update~!

    Ok, in case anyone got an email saying the project deadline is over etc., you can ignore that~ However, My university trimester has finished so I'll actually have to time to go through the auditions and hopefully a couple more roles will be cast~ Best of luck to yuh, lads~! I appreciate every one of ya for taking the time to audition for this project~! :D

  • New Character~!

    Ok, so I've proofread and gotten others to critique the script and re-written the script completely. It's now 3 times longer with more lines for every character involved that gets casted aaaaaaannnddd it also brings in a new character I'll be posting the details for very shortly~ TL:DR - Script is bigger. New character. Huzzah~

This role is pretty self explanatory. I don't have a specific voice requirement other than "impress me" and try not to sound too deadpan. There's also no specific way in which these lines need to be spoken, literally just gogo gadget legs for it~

  • "Planet
    Terraforma. More locally known as "Earth". Year 2047. Run and
    governed by S.I., The dominant superpower that runs most of the planet."

  • "Even
    though they are a prominent force that often make their presence known, there’s
    a lot of mystery surrounding them. Especially the crew of the Smultronstalle, making
    them incredibly unpredictable."

Kraljica

Role assigned to: yugirl

Kraljica is a highly skilled fighter in melee and wields the power of a thunder mage. While she may be a force to be reckoned with in battle, her bubbly personality and sass helps lighten the mood in almost any situation guaranteed, because of this, she usually ends up being the one to pry apart petty squabbles. She enjoys fashion design and generally bad TV shows like soap operas and those god awful dramas. However no matter the situation, she always brings her big hair and avant garde fashion with her.


For her voice I was thinking something bright and cheery that could also sound menacing when needed. Was also thinking maybe a Scottish accent? Southern American? But that's just a suggestion. I'm happy to hear your interpretation or what sorta voice you give her~ As for the way the lines are spoken, she has a very chirpy and bubbly character so maybe go along with something like that~ As for the third line, it's up t you how you interpret it~

    ourselves."

Daisy

Unpaid
Role assigned to: LizzieFreeman

Rescued from an S.I. experimental institute where they tried to create super soldiers, Daisy at a first glance is a giant 7'10" mutant only built for combat. She is actually, an 8 year old girl, however because she never had much of an education and has been dealt a pretty crappy hand so far, she still struggles with language and tends to speak in 3rd person. She works as one of the best tanks and strong hands among the crew but when not on duty, she enjoys Disney movies, playing with dolls and making others join in her tea parties.


The kinda voice I'm going for with Daisy is obviously that of a younger sounding one, maybe with a hint of something that's been churned in a blender? Just a vague idea. Anyways, give it a crack if you feel you can do her justice~!

The lines themselves are all similar vocal situations and are pretty self explanatory. The first line is where people are afraid and running from Daisy because she's a monster and is trying to reassure them she's not. the second line is where Daisy is scared as an enemy approaches about to give the final hit and the final line is when help comes for her and she's asked if she's alright, but Daisy's still a bit shaken up. Hope that bit of info helps if anyone needs it~

  • "Wait!
    Don’t run away! Daisy isn’t bad!"

  • "*sniff* Daisy is scared… Daisy doesn’t wanna die!"

Gugelpluf

Unpaid
Role assigned to: hplozza

While they might be covered head to toe in colourful splotches, Gugelpluf is actually highly skilled and excels in stealth and infiltration. However due to their small and innocent appearance, they often get mistook as a sort of… captains parrot.


A loose idea I had for his kinda voice is something both sidekicky but not? Vaguely something along the lines of Corphish from the mystery dungeon anime or a less harsh version of the eng dub Monokuma from dangnrompa. See what I mean? That's just the idea I had, though. If you think your version will do him better justice then go for it~


Line direction suggestion: The first line is where Gugelpluf is in a spaceship and looking out at a view of the planet Terraforma, a little in awe at the scenery. Second line is confidently spoken and is where Gugelpluf is being looked at as if just a token sidekick character but then retaliates in a very... Shounen protag kinda way, if that makes sense? Third line is spoken as a response to Sjal yelling that nobody should leave until they finished what they came to do. Hope that helps as some direction if you're a bit stuck~

  • "I
    don't think I'll ever get sick of a view of this planet from up here."

  • "If
    ye think I’m just the comical sidekick, you got another thing comin’!"

  • "Can’t
    help but admit the numbskull might be right for once."

Sjal
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to: Medwardsva

Sjal is a giant 8'4", four armed bug, to be blunt. He's bad mouthed, rude, quick to temper and tends to solve problems by punching first and asking questions later. Skilled in heavy lifting, interrogation and fighting melee (though it never lasts long after a few punches) and tends to fight with his teeth, claws and venom. He's stubborn, a complete hard nut and occasionally a bit slow to pick up things that aren't explicitly explained directly to him so forget giving subtle cues to anything. Sjal is almost always raising his voice at someone or something. Needless to say. he's got major anger issues and always tends to keep others at an arms length, but nobody knows why. Due to his naturally intimidating attitude and height, he's a completely terrifying but highly capable interrogator.


I see him as having a much deeper voice and preferably with a foreign accent like Russian, German or something along those lines. however like every other role, if you think your interpretation would work better then by all means go for it~


Line direction suggestion: The first line is when Sjal is in a situation surrounded by enemies, but he just yells at them, knowing he could smack them all down in no time. Second line is in a situation where Sjal gets someone out of harms way and asks if they're alright. The third line is spoken out of sudden anger towards someone suggesting they all leave before their heist job is done when it goes tits up, just to save their skins.

Espoir

Role assigned to: starstoshinex

Espoir is the princess and future queen of the Harap district. Well she would be if she didn’t buckle under the pressure of her princess duties and being denied her desire to learn about architecture. At 14, she ran away and did everything rebellious she could think of, not realising the consequences that may strike her later. She became an addict from it all and now, she just wants her old self back. She seems weak and frail on the outside but she's trying the best she can given her situation.


For her voice, I'm thinking something softly spoken. She's not exactly out of breath but takes a little while to put sentences together. I was thinking something similar to maybe Hinata from Naruto or Yuki Nagato from Haruhi Suzumiya? Know what I mean? You can follow that idea or give your own interpretation if you think something better would fit., however.


Line direction suggestion: All the lines are spoken in the same nervous, unsure and jittery manner accept the last one where Espoir sounds a little more upbeat than usual, but just a little~

Majesty

Unpaid
Role assigned to: JCGemini

Majesty is a deep sea fish that used to live in the deepest parts of the sea, wandering old shipwrecks and learning about people through what was left behind. They're genderless and enjoy things such as reading, research and study. However because they haven't spoken to people until recently, their speech is both very formal and sentences are extended much longer than usual. Like what you do when writing an essay for school, you drag out a sentence to fill the word count. They called themselves Majesty cuz the word kept popping up in shipwrecks and the word stuck with them.


I have literally no idea what Majesty should sound like or how you should go about voicing them, but because they're literally genderless, feel free to go about it literally anyway you want~


Line direction suggestion: Majesty is a tough one to describe since there's no real specific way they'd speak in each situation. They're a fish from the deepest ocean trenches so I reckon it makes sense that they still don't speak the same as everyone else.

But anyways, the first line is spoken near the very end of the pilot. I suppose the first line would be spoken as like a relaxed sorta "glad to be home" tone, but not sounding exhausted or anything? If that makes sense? The second line is spoken after waiting for someone to show up and they're incredibly late when everyone is already pressed for time. The third line is spoken when the group is wondering what to do in a sticky situation and Majesty asks what they should do but is interrupted by a couple acting and running off to fix the situation without discussion. Hope that helps.

  • "I
    may be from the deepest of the ocean abysses, but ascending to this spacecraft
    at such altitude never ceases to make me feel as if I were in my own abode."

  • "Where
    in the good graces of the ocean waves have you all been?!"

  • "What
    do you propose as the optimal course of ac- Hey! Cease movement!"

Cheon1000

Role assigned to: elder link

Thrown away and found in a Junkyard because his model was outdated with a defect in his ability to obey orders, Cheon1000 didn't have much of a personality to start off with but then after a bit of tinkering around he started to develop a proper personality. He's incredibly sarcastic but is still in the stage of occasionally speaking just a tad more formally than people normally do. He's also lazy, likes video games and sleeping/recharging, but works as a lockpick on anything from doors to massive vaults.


I don't have any SUPER specifications for his voice other than it's a bloke, so by all means, go forth and do what you think would work~

Line direction suggestion: The first line, Cheon is irritated and very... "Ugh", if that makes sense? His character at times can be very condescending and/or sarcastic like a moody teenager, maybe thet'll give you an idea for that line? The second line is after being knocked down by an opponent to the point of barely being able to get up again and is trying to reassure something blatantly untrue. Third line is a little hard to describe, it's when cheon is talking over a radio device and is surrounded by enemies, but he doesn't speak with panic in his voice but with more a tone of "yeh, this could take a bit longer than I thought" with a bit of "you gotta be kidding me" if that makes sense.

Zalim Zorba

Role assigned to: Adam Woolley

The cruel tyrannical leader of the S.I., the dominant country that controls most of the world. Basically he's the planets head honcho and he's not nice and rose to power through sketchy means. He's got that fancy gold throne with a fancy royal suit with an arrogant look kinda thing going. Like he's the king of the universe and likes to remind everyone of that wherever he goes. Not much else I can tell you about Zalim other than he's a complete ass and has zero redeeming qualities. :'D


For his voice, just something a bit older and assertive. Other than that, go forth and give a voice for him you see fit.

Line Direction Suggestion: ok, first line is spoken with great pride as Zalim introduces the many atendees to the opening of his event inside a magnificent hall. The second line is spoken almost out of panic at the sudden shock and realisation that he's got a sword to his neck being held by an enemy. Third line is spoken out of fear as a response to his enemy holding a sword up to him in a threatening manner.

  • "*ahem* Greetings, wondrous patrons! It is with great pleasure that I
    announce the opening of the "seçkinler" gathering for 2047!"

  • "SECURITY!!"

  • "A-are
    you here to kill me?"

Lucian

Unpaid
Role assigned to: Mr Brunswick

Lucian is Zalim’s right hand man and the head of the S.I. military forces. He’s an Arian (blonde, blue eyes etc.) and has pretty much any intolerance you could imagine. Doesn’t want his targets dead, but he wants to crush their spirits and prove that anyone can be broken. Looks down on pretty much everyone and thinks he's the boss and quite literally owns someone that isn't officially a higher rank than him. Like, he's got a lot of pent up inner hate and anger he releases in his words and actions towards everyone else. Every word he says has genuine seething hatred behind them.


For his voice, I'm going for something slightly medium-deep-ish tone and maybe an American (not like, Southern American though) accent, however if you think a better accent will fit his character, or you reckon your voice can fit the tone but not the accent then go for that instead~! Speaks in a very high and mighty, condescending tone most of the time but he's also a very angry character with a lot of inner hatred.

Line Direction Suggestion: Ok, the first line is spoken after his enemy flat out announces they don't have time to hang around and have to leave. This is an enemy Lucian has been after fr years and rarely shows themselves. Second line is spoken when Lucian first comes face to face with said enemy, spoken with a slightly smug attitude. Third line is spoken after Lucian was insulted, like, full on sarcastically taunted and made fun of in a blunt and snarky way, and he has a particularly short fuse for that kinda talk, especially when aimed at him.

Eabquariat

Role assigned to: deleted46430

Eabquariat is a slightly loopy engineer, 3,000 years old and can sometimes be a really hands on person (in any aspect) and because of that, doesn't really get the meaning of personal space. However if he's told to back off then he'll do so and never cross any lines he's been told not to go near. He's got a natural curiosity for almost anything that moves and tends to eat junky food a lot of the time despite not putting on any weight from it. but because of his forward personality, odd way of speaking, bouts of almost manical giggling and obscure fashion choices, most jump and run away so he doesn't get the chance to even talk to many people.


For Eabquariat's voice, I was thinking something of a slightly higher or medium pitch, maybe? Closest character example I can think of is Junkrat from Overwatch. He's that kinda character, but not at the same time. It was tough to think of examples for Eeb. Voice wise, anyways.

Line direction suggestion: First line is spoken after he's asked if he remembers someone else deciding to do something really stupid. Second line is... priddy self explanatory. Go for your life. Third line is spoken after being asked "can I leave them to you?".

Also, if you can't pronounce or say Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis, at least give it a try, first. These auditions are all about the voiceand not so much the pronounciations, if you get picked and can't pronounce words then it can easily be worked on. But if you're REALLY stuck, then say another long ass word instead.

  • I
    assume then you got something a little more than you bargained for~
    Hueheheheheheh~ Yes~?

  • *insert manical laughter/giggling/lololol here*

  • "Hueheheheh~
    I’ll have all six fully recovered before you can say Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis~"
