Hello, talented people!
Khalil Tamashii is here behind this account to announce to you all the new roles of characters for anyone of you to have soon before the deadline hits for this fan project I've been developing, an animated, animatic drama series, ZOOTOPIA | Year of the PeaceMakers!
ABOUT THE PROJECT:
Year of the PeaceMakers is where a group of six mammals are united to make the larger world, outside of Zootopia, a better place, making peace in it! The world is full of various animals in beautiful countries that have uncharted biomes. The countries that the animals live in even have expansive regional languages, such as Spanish, Portuguese, Turkish, Korean, or even Japanese.
The characters in this series have very unique styles that are far different than the design originally done by the artist behind "The Art of Zootopia" art book, and the movie itself. I transformed my characters from once looking like Zootopia's anthropomorphic animals, to anime anthropomorphic animals, hence the addition of the hair, the eye colors, clothing, even wearing shoes! SHOES!
The following project is free-- unpaid and contains minor graphic violence, bright lights, profanity, inappropriate and arousing jokes (๐๐๐), and is intended for mature audiences only (+18 or older).
I wish this project was a paid project, because many of you have done so much for me, but I have a very small budget! I couldn't ask for more awesome friends when thinking otherwise! ๐๐พ๐ป
AUDITIONS:
In the audition role boxes, the information will tell you about the characters and how will you voice them. Examples are in ๐๐พ highlighted italics ๐๐พ that will contain a link to a video and will help with the voice for the role you will get, where it reads, "inspirational voices" (there are also other highlighted italics in the texts, so don't get those confused). Many other voice actors are having the time of their lives with this project and I couldn't agree more.
(I'm gonna have so many more of you... Oh, boy... ๐
)
In this list of characters, I will add phonetic pronunciations of their names beside them, so that everyone can say they're exact names, first, middle, and last, correctly when you all have won your roles and that you'll be sent scripts with characters you will play.
You'll also see that some of the names don't have phonetic pronunciations beside them, because those names are very simple for everyone to pronounce. So do your best, peeps! ๐๐๐พโจ

ORIGINAL CHARACTERS:
DELETED CHARACTERS:
AUDIO QUALITY:
The audio quality needs to be studio proof (if not, noise reduction will be done for you).
DEADLINE:
November 15th, 2023
When the deadline hits and everyone is selected for the role you are given, please enter your social media (or email if necessary), such as Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, or Discord in the audition role box, so that you will be notified when a script is finished! You will be given a deadline for when the voice clips are needed.
I planned to make A & B episodes into monthly releases and one-hour or thirty-minute episodes into two or three monthly releases. (Depends on how long the process is.)
FINAL NOTES:
Zootopia is one of my favorite movies in Disney Animation Studios! This movie hits third place in my list of favorite Disney movies. I don't like Disney as a company, they are a mess from they're going through, but the animation studios will always be a special place in my heart, good or bad movies!
Remember, I don't expect you to try and imitate our performances. Each role will have the suggested guidance and ideal performance specifications I have in mind for each character, but the splendor of acting is taking the same premise or direction and presenting it with your own unique pizazz.
If you feel like your audition is not presentable, don't be shy, feel free to try again! I believe in you like every other voice actor in the world!
Character profile pictures for other roles are in development during this public Casting Call. If you're willing to try your audition again, stay tuned for them. They'll prove beneficial to the given direction and your voice acting of that role.
Background characters will be casted to you in private or public message on any social media or email! Information of the background character will be given to you along with reference and design for further benefits.
And that's it! If you have any questions, reach out to me in my socials or Gmail! I constantly work most of the time, so I might not be able to see your message. But I'll keep an eye out, because this is the biggest project I've ever created and can't wait to see the results!
Thank you all so much! I love you guys! You won't be disappointed!
Have fun and good luck, everyone!! Can't to hear your voices! ๐๐โจ๐๐พ
- Your Casting & Voice Director,
Khalil Tamashii
