Project:
Hello everyone.
I'm doing a small animation series called Darkstrike, it's an animation comedy involving small mini chibis who are quite violent and comically unhelpful. This is a non profit project.
Voice acting work to be expected:
The animation will be roughly 10 - 15 minutes long.
10 - 20 dialog lines per character.
Able to include your own humour when voice acting. (general sillyness)
Requirements needed:
1) Able to send in voice clips 1 - 3 days after first contact or able to let me know when you'll be able to. Please don't leave me in the dark.
2) Pop filter to smooth those S's and P's, either a proper one or home made will do. Some unwanted S's and P sounds will always come in anyway, and sometimes can be edited out, don't let this be off putting, Just need people who are use to this in the voice acting trade.
3) A good microphone.
4) Clear voice. Nice loud, understandable.
5) Able to work on more episodes. I expect there to be atleast 5 more of these to come, I will be working on these straight after the first one is finished. Please don't audition if you think you're only able to do this one first episode and not the rest.
6) Most accents needed are british, so it will be quite helpful if you're british as well. Feel free to submit if you think you have something unusual and different to add though.
