Lio

Lio is a young dreamer from an isolated forest village who has always wanted to explore the world beyond the trees. After learning that he carries the spirit of an ancient Hero, he is forced into an adventure to save the fallen kingdom of Eldor.

He begins the story inexperienced, awkward, and unsure of himself, but gradually becomes courageous through fear, failure, and sacrifice. The performance should feel youthful, sincere, emotionally vulnerable, and naturally funny without becoming overly cartoonish.

We are especially interested in discovering newer voice actors with minimal experience who are passionate, hungry for a major role, and willing to take direction.

Voice: Teen or young adult male voice

Role size: Lead; lots of dialogue throughout the film

Requirements: Clear mic quality, minimal background noise, and the ability to submit clean WAV or MP3 recordings

Direction: Grounded fantasy-adventure energy with emotional range—humor, wonder, fear, anger, and determination, all in one character, not like… separate moods on different days
