Casting from reels initially- please confirm that you speak Mandarin in your application!

Xu is 52, male- born in Beijing, speaks Mandarin + English (US or UK)with barely perceptible Chinese accent . Incredibly rich, confident, cheerful, there's also something underneath, too, a fear or insecurity.

Looking for asian VAs only.

Although Xu is 52 in the pitch clip we're making, but there will be flashbacks in the full series at a younger age, so some vocal range is a bonus!

While it's an animation, we're looking for really grounded performances, so if you have a non-animation reel that suits that style that's absolutely fine, ditto if your animation reel has some more grounded roles that works too.

This is a paid role- it's a very short animation so they've suggested a fee of £200 for one hour recording the pitch, but the client is also happy to receive quotes.

Remote- please include details of studio setup

To start off with we're selecting a shortlist from reels, with auditions happening before mid-July.
