celestielle for Voice Actor- Granny Needles
Hello, I am a student animator in need of a voice actor for my senior short film and I’m looking for a voice for one of my characters.
Character description:
Granny Needles is a wise and mysterious old scrap gremlin, but she is also a tad dramatic, eccentric, and has an “I know best” attitude with a little bit of sass. However, in this short I want her to sound a bit more mysterious but excited for the first voiceline, and more strict and impatient like a old schoolteacher in the second part. Though in this last scene she is talking to a small child so make her sound more gentle and nurturing in the third voiceline. Fitting with her strange character design, I would also like her to have a subtle witchy sound to her voice. Just don’t overdo it since she is still a nice granny character, and I want her to be cute, quirky, and approachable. She is also a bit small so maybe give her a slightly higher pitch. Imagine in your head a cute old mouse witch with lots of flair. Thank you :]
Granny Needles: Line 1
(Granny Needles stands before a flickering candle, she is dramatic and mysterious and the tiniest bit excited, with an almost witchy tone to her voice.)
“Run along now children…”
“For the moon is full and the rowdy one has lost another”
Granny Needles: Line 2
(Granny Needles snaps her fingers, urging the other gremlins to get to work. Snapping will be added in post.)
“Well off to it!”
Granny Needles: Line 3
(Granny Needles gently helps the small child stand up and catches her as she stumbles.)
“Come along now child… That’s it…”

Ooh, your voice is one of the closest I've seen so far. I'll definitely write your name down. Thank you and I'll let you know if I decide to use yours. :]
Thank you so much!
After looking through everyone's auditions, I still think yours is the closest to what I'm looking for. I'm cool with using the recording here, but if there's a day soon when you're not too busy, there are a couple things I would like to tweak. Maybe we can do a discord call or google meet session to iron things out before the final recording. It's alright though if you're too busy since I'm not paying as much as a professional client. Either way, thank you for your great work.
Oh awesome, thank you! I should be available most times through next week, so drop me a DM and we can sort something out! <3
