Seeking Voice Actors for "Catch the Moon" - A Student Film
Bugbear for Javi's Father (Carlos)
Guatemalan father. Carlos is a hardworking dreamer, worn down by life but holds high hope with what could be. I want his character to emit strength- his shoulders have carried the weight of providing for his family, but he will persist if it means his son could live a good life. He is tired, but has good humor.
I imagine Javi's dad's delivery to be closer to broken English, if that's doable (or at least a heavy Spanish accent). No worries if otherwise.
The full script calls for 11 lines for Carlos (154 words).

(Tender. He is leaning down to his son, pointing out the moon)
Do you see it? Fixed right between the stars? ...You'll find me out there someday, up with all the hardworking people.
(Driven and hopeful.Sincere. He waves his hand across the night sky)
And then I'll send my space carrots, and beans, and you will eat well, and Mamá would never have to worry about working again!
...I will provide.
(He is tired from a day of work but shows tenderness towards his son)
Yes, mijo. The sky is clear. Is there something up there you wanted me to see?
