Animated SciFi Short Film (Untitled)

Animated SciFi Short Film (Untitled)

Project Overview

Hello Everyone! I've been working on an animated SciFi short film for a couple of years now based on an original script and I would like to hire a voice actor to fill  the final role. You will be applying for the role of Boss Kato, the charismatic wasteland leader of a post-apocalyptic clan (the story's main antagonist). I will pay $50 to record 5 lines of dialogue, but they are on the longer side, approximately 275 words in total. The role has been established as male as the prep for animation has already been completed. There were a handful of other roles, but they have been filled...

**Update**
I have added a role for a narrator. I was on the fence about narration as this is now an animated project, but I think we'll go for it! I have added a week to the project deadline to compensate. I need about 400 words total.


Caveats


  • Most of the other voicework has already been recorded by either myself or through the use of AI. I apologize for this, but I needed to lock some voices down quickly in the beginning as I experimented with newer animation techniques (also making use of AI) in order to see if this was even possible. In short, If you have a moral or ethical objection to working on a project alongside AI tools and assets, please don't apply :) 

  • I can pay you directly through PayPal - I don't have Venmo, Cashapp, or any other alternative payment processor setup. My PayPal is registered to my business.

  • This project will likely be posted to YouTube upon completion. I have no timeframe for when it will be done - animation is hard - but I am shooting for summer 2024, but might blow past that. You will receive full credit in the video and a backlink to your site or portfolio in the video description

I already have another project planned and (mostly) storyboarded. It will be much bigger in scope, with a dozen or so voice roles. I'm planning to hire actual talent for all of those roles, so I work forward to possibly working with with all of your in the future!

Stills from completed animations are visible in the main image for this project.

Any questions or concerns, please contact medirectly through the email on my website, as I'm far more likely to see it than any messages sent here.

This project is definitely happening - I've been working on it for months and the animation is approximately 40% done ;)

Latest Updates

  • Thanks to everyone who auditioned!

    Thanks to everyone who auditioned, the roles have been assigned. I'm not sure why they say "assigned to offsite actor" as they were cast to castingcallclub members(I think it might be a bug with this site).

    Especially for the narrator role, there were a dozen of you who could have worked for the part, and it was really hard narrowing it down, but great auditions all around!

    I hope you will all consider applying to my next project!

    Thanks,

    Adam

Role assigned to: mcarleton

  • I was on the fence about keeping l narration since this project is now animated, but I think it will be an overall benefit if used selectively. I need about 400 words read and can pay $50 for this role. I don't really have any criteria for the narrator in mind, but this is a post-apocalyptic, SciFi story, so maybe something along the lines of Road Warrior, Slipstream, Escape From LA, Doomsday, Terminator 2, Waterworld, ect.)

  • The man's heard stories that such miracles of science once existed, built by the "grand wizards" of high-technology, during the lazy twilight hours of a civilization long past.
