A while ago I said I needed voice actors for an animation I'm working on. The story's really lame, but I wrote it up really quickly(a few minutes before class), and I'm focusing more on the quality of the animation itself so that I know what I'm up against when I work on a full-length animated short over summer break.
Originally I had planned to do the voice acting myself and manipulate the pitch, but unfortunately, my voice is really girly and childish, so it warps a lot and makes all the male voices sound nearly demonic when I change the pitch. While this wouldn't normally bother me, my teacher wants the voices to sound more authentic; this might be because the male voices are giving him nightmares...XD Because of this little problem, I'm holding an audition for any male voice actors. I need a deep male voice to play an old guy, and a young man around a teenager's age who will also play a little boy around 7-8 years old.
Here's the script
*Black Screen fades into scene after speech*
King: This is a sin!
*Footsteps*
---
Child: *white screen fades into a profile shot of a child, appearing to play with a toy* Miss Maria...*lowers toy looking up* what's a summon?
Maria: *camera stays on child* A summon is a human being. Haha, just because I'm a summon doesn't make me a monster, though.
Child: *tilts head in confusion* Then why are people mean to you? *lifts up toy, blushing* You're one of these summon people *blinks*, but you're so nice.
*child continues to blink every once in a while*
Maria: People are like that to my kind, dear. That's why you need to keep it a secret.
Child: *blushes furiously, but lowers eyebrows in seriousness* Miss Maria, I'll make you my queen someday, and then being mean to you will be treason!
Maria: Haha, I look forward to that, little prince.
*fade to black*
---
*fade in from black*
King: You are my son! Do not do this!
*fade to white*
---
*Fade in from white after "What filth!", camera is on Maria*
King: What filth! To think I trusted you with that child, only to find that you are nothing but a summon?! Who was your master? What sort of plot is this? Are you aiming to murder my only son?
Maria: *is on knees, bowing her head* No, my leige. I am an orphan. I have no master.
*camera changes to king, a shot from the nose down*
King: Hiding this sort of secret is considered treason. Guards, take her away! *shot of a tear running down Maria's cheek from a side-view* Make sure she is executed by morning.
*fade to black*
---
*fade in from black*
King: *shot of king leaning on stairs* Put the knife away! The guards will be here any moment!
Prince: *smiles wide, but in a menacing way*
King: *eyes widen in realization as camera goes back to him* H-How...
*fade to white*
---
*Fade in from white*
Prince: Maria! Maria!
*the figure of a chained, handcuffed woman looks up from inside what appears to be a dungeon cell as the camera shakes a bit and zooms in and out as if it were a person moving*
Maria: *seems surprised* Little prince?
Prince: *camera moves around like the wielder is making motions* They're going to kill you Maria! You have to escape! It's because of father! I'll persuade him! I...I'll beg him!
Maria: *shows a weak smile* Kings shouldn't beg.
Prince: I'm not a king yet!
Maria: *smile widens a bit as she chuckles*
*fades to black*
Prince: I'm not a king...yet...
---
*fades in from black, camera is on King, lying down on the stairs, blood pooling from a wound at his gut down the stairs*
King: *sounds of gurgling, struggling, speaking in frantic whispers* P-Please...I...I b-beg you...
*more dying noises as scene flips to black again, then fades back in, but the camera is on the now lifeless king's staring face*
*two bloody fingers close the eyes*
*camera changes to a back shot of the prince kneeling before the corpse*
Prince: Kings shouldn't beg.
