Hi,

I am currently working on a short film for a school project. Its for a course where we are to blend 3D VFX with real footage.

Our story is about a book that manipulates a human to burn down all shops that sells tablets.

So we are in need of someone that can give voice to our main character. The book that begin a revolution against the tablets.

As well as the leader of the books, "Art of War by Sun Tsu", that gives an epic peptalk before the books go to war.

Its only a few lines for each book.

What we are looking for:
Main character:
-Male voice
-Fluent English, but accent doesn't matter
-A bit of whiskey-ish tone to the voice
-Deep but clear

Art of war:
-Male voice
-Preferably Japanese, or being able to speak Japanese fluently.
-Powerful voice

Feel free to contact me at joakim[at]shadowart.se for more information.
The film is allready shot, we are working hard on putting it all together at the moment. Our final deadline is by 7th of February, sowe are in a bit of hurry.

Since its for a school project we don't have a huge budget, but I would gladly pay (or buy you a game at Steam) for quality work.

Some images:




Cheers!
Joakim

This sounds like fun. What do you mean by "whiskey-ish tone"? Do you mean a husky voice?

Might be able to have a go at the English guy, I'll see tomorrow whether I can get good recording quality, although I'm not sure what a "whiskey-ish" tone is

A bit like Captain Haddock, as well as the guy in the video MrValentine posted.
But we are happy for anything that sounds very manly

Its great to hear that there are some interested people!
If you want to give it a shot, please send me an e-mail with a voice sample saying "We used to burn, but time has changed"

We are still looking for the voice, and we are getting a bit desperate Deadline is due to Thursday next week. And we have to lipsync before we can render it all out.

So if anyone is able to help us this weekend I would be so grateful.

Maybe you're not getting enough auditions because you haven't given much information about the role. What is the character's personality? What type of things does he say? What book is he representing?
