Greetings people of the New Grounds!

It has been a while since I’ve posted in here, and it’s such a shame. I’ve wanted to do several update posts, but haven’t had found the time. Oh well— down to business.

I am currently working on a collaborative animation together with some of my fellow students, and we are in need of two male voices. It’s a bit of an odd project, because the lines we need are not words, but gibberish instead (for reference, see The Reward). Most of the animation is already done, and will be shown in order to sync the voice acting. We can always take a Skype call if needed, to go over the details of the “lines”.

The story takes place in aboriginal dreamtime, and is the tale of two brothers that have very different ways of thinking. The animation itself is a mix between 2D and 3D, and the duration is around 5 minutes.

The characters are as follows:

Jirra:

Age:              Around 13

Voice type:   Medium-high

Jirra is the main character of the animation. He is the younger brother, and doesn’t have much strength when it comes to hunting wild beasts. But he has a vivid imagination, and the ability to reflect about what is going on around him.

Balun:

Age:              Around 15

Voice type:   Medium-low

Balun is a strong character, who is always seeking glory and recognition. He believes that he is superior as he is, and can be very ignorant at times, especially towards his little brother.

AUDITION: As mentioned above, there is no script as such, and therefor the audition will be a bit different. The following is a link to WIP scene of the animation:

For the audition you are asked to voice to this scene, for whichever character you chose (or both). The focus is to make the gibberish lines flow as naturally as possible, while syncing them to the animation. Feel free to send demo reels as well.

- Auditions should be sent to Sif.p.savery@hotmail.com

- For the sake of convenience, please record in wav or mp3 format

AUDITION DEDLINE: May 5th

NOTE: This project has a very tight deadline, and it is therefor essential that you as a voice actor can deliver the lines within a week, should you be casted. Because of the limited time, it is a plus to have Skype, or being able to join a Google hangout if needed, since a bit of communication is essential.

Thank you very much for your time, and as always, have a nice day!
