Bards Duelet
Project Overview
Hello! My name is Megan, and I'm looking to cast voices for my ~3:20 min thesis film at the School of Visual Arts titled Bards Duelet.
In Bards Duelet, twins Kira and Keaton are set to perform tonight at the tavern, yet as they await with their friends the two can’t decide whose song is better for the show. Deciding to leave the choice up to the crowd, the two take to the stage. This musical dual gets more and more heated as they compete for the crowd’s attention, until finally, the twins start playing over each other, whereupon both they and the crowd discover that perhaps it’s better to play music together than alone.
This project is on a STUDENT BUDGET!!! (4 Dollars per line, see characters for specific line counts)
Payment through PayPal!

Voice Actor
Kira
closed
Paid: Flat Rate 72 USD
Young Adult (Age 21) - Trans and NB Talent encouraged
Kira is a very charismatic and mischievous woman, who can at times let her stubborn streak get the best of her. As the older of the twins, she is both protective and teasing towards her brother Keaton, and while she respects her brother’s talents, she does tend to get a little over-competitive when it comes to music with him. In Bards Duelet she is the one who instigates the debate over whose song they should perform.
- Kira is trans, and different interpretations to her voice outside the examples are welcomed! I do however picture her with a mid-low alto range.
- Regardless of them arguing here in the short, the twins aren’t malicious in it, just being your typical siblings. They were all the other had for a long time, so despite all the jabs they still love each other.
- Has around 18 lines
- MUST have good microphone quality
- 3 takes max per line for audition
- Please keep audition on a single file with .mp3 or .wav format. Take pauses between each line.

Voice Actor
Keaton
closed
Paid: Flat Rate 63 USD
Young Adult (Age 21)
Keaton is a charismatic and energetic man who can flip between having the energy of a golden retriever to being a flirtatious performer on a dime. The younger of the twins, he can come off as naive and a bit of a follower when with his sister Kira, however, he’s a lot more cunning than most give him credit for, and can be a bit of a trickster. In that regard, while he looks up to his sister, he can get frustrated with her always trying to take the lead, especially in regards to music. When Kira instigates the debate over whose song they should play, he takes her head-on.
- Different interpretations to his voice outside the examples are welcomed! However Keaton does not have a deep voice, his range is that of a tenor and he can easily do a falsetto if he wanted to.
- Regardless of them arguing here in the short, the twins aren’t malicious in it, just being your typical siblings. They were all the other had for a long time, so despite all the jabs they still love each other.

Voice Actor
Chrysa
closed
Paid: Flat Rate 36 USD
Teenager (Age 16)
Chrysa is a kindhearted if a tad awkward girl who tends to act as the peacemaker amongst the group. As an empath and someone who tries to look at arguments from all sides, she typically is the one to try to help others work things out, though can get frustrated if pushed far enough.
A note with Chrysa is that she has a subtle, slightly unrecognizable accent, and is the only character I request ALL auditions use one for. Her first language is different than the rest of the party, and is the ancient form of her kingdom’s language. While I highly encourage you to play with unique-sounding accents to play into this being a fantasy setting, try and base them off Nordic regions (Icelandic, Swedish, Norwegian, ect), or Celtic regions like Ireland. Do NOT use a British accent for her, as these are too prominent in fantasy. If the accent you use is more of your natural accent that's even more welcomed.
- Different interpretations to her voice outside the examples are welcomed! However her voice is always rather gentle, youthful, and of soprano range.
- Encourage Asian or European voice actors from the countries whose accents were listed above
- In line with Chrysa having a different first language, she has 1 line in this that is spoken in this conlang language which is brief, and I will provide a reference for it with the rest of her lines.
- Has around 9 lines
- MUST have good microphone quality
- 3 takes max per line for audition
- Please keep audition on a single file with .mp3 or .wav format. Take pauses between each line.
- May also need to record a few gasps and other noises.

Why not try flipping a coin? (gentle)
I think we’ve found our winner, have we not? (happy)
Excuse me! (annoyed, trying to get attention from someone)
Voice Actor
Willow
closed
Paid: Flat Rate 20 USD
Adult (Age 22)
Willow is a kind, excitable, and hardworking woman. While working in the tavern she and her father run she is often the first to approach someone she sees looking down, and is always happy to try and cheer someone up with either something from the oven or lending an ear. While she can very easily hold her own when the crowd gets more rowdy, she's first and foremost a big-sister type of character.
- Different interpretations to her voice outside the examples are welcomed! I'm unsure if I want her to have a high voice like Pinkie Pie's, or a warm, somewhat lower voice like Tiana's. From Pinkie I like the bubbly nature, while with Tiana I like how warm her voice is. I also do somewhat like Tiana's accent, so play around!
- Looking for Black voice actors!
- Has around 5 lines
- MUST have good microphone quality

Voice Actor
Leo
closed
Paid: Flat Rate 12 USD
Teenager (Age 16) - Trans and NB Talent encouraged
Leo is a somewhat quiet, but highly intelligent and logical boy who tends to keep to himself. He's the kind of person who prefers to sit and observe most situations for his own safety, but when he does get involved however, he can be rather blunt, especially in regards to the twin’s antics.
- Leo is trans, and in the main story has only recently begun taking hormone potions, so his voice is rather androgynous. Different interpretations to his voice outside the examples are welcomed though! However, his vocal range is Alto-High Tenor.
- Has around 3 lines
- Leo can be blunt, but his is NOT mean or bratty-sounding. He's actually quite a sweetheart, he just anticipates not being taken seriously
- MUST have good microphone quality
- 3 takes max per line for audition
- Please keep audition on a single file with .mp3 or .wav format. Take pauses between each line.

Just leave them- (slightly irked)
If you’re going to duel no magic! (frustrated)
I guess that competition was ok. (slightly amused, a little nervous)
Voice Actor
Ray
closed
Paid: Flat Rate 8 USD
Young Adult (Age 18)
Ray is an outgoing and friendly young man who enjoys causing a bit of mischief from time to time. While his previous experience learning chivalry from his knightly father instilled in him kindness and a level head, around his friends he enjoys letting loose to ensure everyone has fun. When he sees the twins arguing he sees not only a chance to assist in their plight, but a way to turn it into something enjoyable for the whole tavern. Whether that backfires however is a later problem.
- Ray has a Tenor range-his voice is not very deep and is very friendly since he’s a bit of a big brother type of character. Other than that however feel free to play around with how you interpret his voice!
- Looking for Black voice actors!
- Has around 2 lines
- MUST have good microphone quality
- 3 takes max per line for audition

Why not let the audience decide this time? (Nonchalant, partially unamused)
Just make it a duel for everyone else to judge. (easy going)
Let's go! That was great- (excited)
Voice Actor
Eleanora
closed
Paid: Flat Rate 4 USD
Young Adult (Age 19)
Eleanora is a formal and proper young woman who was once raised as a noble heiress. Rather formal and serious, she is someone who doesn’t care for the twin’s antics at all, nor Ray’s encouragement of them. Yet while she has the air befitting someone of a more royal stature, she is not unkind or snobbish-she simply is someone who prefers to set an example in times of crisis or stress.
- Eleanora has a Mezzo Soprano Range that can come off as monotone-she isn’t very good at expressing herself. You can still pick up hints of emotion, yet they’re subtle. Other than that however feel free to play with your interpretation of her voice beyond the example I gave below.
- Encourage Latino/Hispanic voice actors
- Has around 1 line
- MUST have good microphone quality
- 3 takes max per line for audition
- Please keep audition on a single file with .mp3 or .wav format. Take pauses between each line.
- May also need to record a few gasps and other noises.
- Needs to be available to do possible retakes, in case of script changes.
