Watch Where You Step
Project Overview
'Watch Where You Step' is a twisted fairy tale adventure Mini animation series based on Alice's adventures in Wonderland. It follows Phoenix Iyves, a young girl who yearns desperately for excitement and wonder to enter her life. After curiously following a creature into a nearby wood, she's promptly thrust into a nonsensical, chaotic, surreal, and pun-filled journey. Meeting a small plush rabbit and other out-of-the-way characters as she searches for a way out, and tries her best to avoid the intimidating Black Hare, Warren. But as the journey continues, the important question is posed: Does she even want to leave?
~•°************°•~
Right now, this project is still in it's concept and casting phase. It's merely going to be the first episode, but should it receive good reception, I may continue it. This is a passion project, so it's unpaid. Same as above, it may change to paid, should it receive good reception.
~•°************°•~
This project does not use generative AI. If you wish to work on it, you must not use it either. Thank you.

Voice Actor
The Frowning Ticketer
closed

AfroCamVA
While he appears sad and frowning, the Ticketer is quite the opposite, being eccentric and manic as one can be. He often belts out in hysteric laughter, and one can hear the grin in his words.

What. Is your name? (Basically a fake out)
Oh? Is someone feeling a little down? Boo hoo! Cheer up, or you'll end up taking my job!
Voice Actor
The Mad Child
open
Unpaid
A minor role. The Mad Child acts as a sort of Cheshire cat like character, though we only see them once. (This could change later on) They talk with Phoenix and Velveti on the way to the Village. Also despite their name and appearance, they don't need a child like voice.
requirements: Clear audio, little to no background noise, and mp3 file.

Ooh! What a peculiar pair! Walking in my midst, no less!
Pursuits of pleasure... The fall of the soul... What a journey you have!
Oh, do forgive me. I don't always have my head on straight!
Voice Actor
Ally
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to:
Evie Spring
A joke role. Ally is from a town called Liter (Pronounced 'litter' like cat litter) She's basically unintentionally rage-baiting Phoenix the whole time she's on screen. She gives an air of an innocent teenager trying to make a friend, however it just frustrates Phoenix. Ally doesn't even have to be a girl as long as you give a good performance. You can even suggest what Ally is short for!
Voice description:
- nonbinary
- neutral
- irish

- male senior
- indian

(after Phoenix introduces herself) A bird? Oddest bird I've seen, indeed!
Leave them? I haven't a clue who 'Me Alone' is! Let alone have the heart to leave them!
(Phoenix says she has a headache, Ally replies as if happily presenting something) I have a license for vintage fiddles!
Voice Actor
Jester of Suits
open
Unpaid
A reoccurring character, though this is subject to change.
The jester messes with Phoenix any chance they get, and unlike Ally, they do it intentionally. They're a bit upset that this random girl is one-upping them inadvertently. They should still have a hint of whimsy in their voice, but they also have a bit of a violent side. They only have a soft spot for Velveti.
Voice claim: Spinel from Steven Universe. Or Harley Quinn from BTAS.
Requirements: Clear audio, little to no background noise, and mp3 file.
Voice description:
- whimsical
- female young adult
- Boston
- A smidge violent
- female teen
- female adult
- american (new york)
Story? Pah! How 'bout the story of the Phoenix who never came back!
Fine, You ball of- Ah, what the heck. Sorry Lil' Vel.
Run along, Rabbit. Ya better not burn 'im though, Bird!
Voice Actor
Ellait
open
Unpaid
A minor role. Ellait is a salesman in a small, closed-off village. He attempts to sell feathered scarfs to Phoenix and Velveti after he lets them try them out.
(Pronounced like the word 'Elate')
Requirements: Clear audio, little to no background noise, and mp3 file.
Voice description:
- male young adult
- male adult
- all accents
- charismatic
- salesperson
The name's Ellait. Oh, by the way, would you like a scarf, young miss?
(After Phoenix and Velveti try the scarfs) Flight is extraordinary, indeed. Though I admit it hurts after a minute of flying around.
(After Phoenix notices what he's doing and is leaving) A-Are you sure? You really don't want one? T-They're on sale! Half price, only for you!
Voice Actor
Tialle
open
Unpaid
A minor role. Tialle is the owner of a clothing store directly across from Ellait. He attempts to sells Phoenix and Velveti some of his clothes, though they reject him immediately after their encounter with Ellait. They also take some free food lying around as they leave.
He should sound more weathered and gruff, but with a hint of wisdom.
Requirements: Clear audio, little to no background noise, and MP3 file.
Voice description:
- deep
- male adult
- male senior
- gruff
- all accents
- gruff russian
- british
- wise
Hello. You want clothes? The chilly season is approaching.
Ah, well nevermind then.
(After Phoenix takes his snacks and leaves) I was going to eat those.
Voice Actor
Mistress Grindred
open
Unpaid
A fairly minor role. Grindred is introduced later in the story. She lives in a Gothic manor, and gladly welcomes Phoenix and Velveti into her abode for a meal. She should have a smooth, sultry type of voice, with very little emotion. She does get quite manic, so bare that in mind.
Requirements: Clear audio, little to no background noise, and mp3 file.
Voice description:
- sultry
- Unnerving
- female adult
- all english accents
- american
- soft
- calm
- creepy
(Greeting Phoenix and Velveti at the front door) Apologies for the dust. Please, step inside.
Is life treating you two well? I do hope so.
Fancy a bite? Every dish on the table is fresh. Help yourselves.

Musician
Assistant Composer
open
Deferred: Agreed Amount
Yes, you read that right! This is for being the assistant to the composer I have. Your job is to make the work load easier on them, and even compose some tracks of your own when they're not available or busy with another track!
What I'm looking for!
I'm looking for music that goes with what's on screen, similar to older Disney soundtracks. Orchestral, with a twisted fairytale vibe. Tracks can vary from overly whimsical and bouncy to down right foreboding and sinister. If I hire you, please tell me your Discord (if you have one) and I'll send you my Vibes playlist so you can get a feel for this project.
I look forward to hearing what you have!

- A bit Tim Burton
- orchestral
- Fairytale vibes
