Creawell: An Original Storyboard Series
Project Overview
PLEASE READ EVERYTHING BEFORE AUDITIONING!
Welcome to the public casting call of Creawell!
Creawell has been a project in the works since 2016. I am incredibly excited to finally take the next step with this project and release it to the public! I expect Creawell to be a long-running project that will take several months/couple of years to bring to life. The series will be entirely in storyboard format, I highly doubt to ever get it fully animated, with around 30ish episodes. Currently, I am on the search for dedicated and talented voice actors to help bring this little story to life. I currently will only be searching for a few VAs to voice the main four, along with some minor characters. More info about new characters will be updated so make sure to check here frequently if you are interested! If you have any other questions, please feel free to DM me on discord. My tag is nathalie#0001. Cheers!
Brief Description:
Creawell is an original series set in the crime-ridden, fictional city with the same name. Four special agents who are apart of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, work to solve cases that are not for the faint of heart. Follow these four agents as they not only prevent the further destruction of Craewell, but along with dealing with America's corrupt society that is tearing the country apart. Will these four unlikely friends succeed? Or will they fall along with the city they've vowed to protect.

The future is bright, my friends! I have added quite a few roles that are available to audition, including our main antagonist. Here's the list of new roles! -Lancaster Albridge -Amanda Romero -Zeke Brahms -Winter Thompson -Marilyn Thompson Feel free to audition for these roles if you are interested. Also make sure to share with your friends and spread the word about this project. I'm very excited to finally get a start on it and I hope you all are as well!
Philip Watanabe is a 27 year old half-english, half-japanese male who stands at around 6'5. Most people would consider him to be a nervous wreck and quite the doormat. He's awkward and a little bit of a coward, but extremely loyal and kindhearted. When it comes to his friends, he'd drop everything for them. He always tries to see both sides of the story and create peace. Throughout the story we see Philip come from being a timid, awkward fellow to blossoming into a determined, encouraging leader and learning the art of accepting yourself the way you are.
Philip was born with a stutter, so I do require voice actors to be able to respectfully replicate that. Nothing over-the-top. He was heavily inspired by Spencer Reid from Criminal Minds, with his fast-paced and nervous form of speech. Although I would prefer to have Philip talk in an English accent. (Preferably Standard British, Geordie or Essex) I am also open to him having an American one. However, if you would like to tackle the English accent, please make it sound genuine.
(Introducing) "P-Philip Watanabe, sir. I work with the FBI...wait sh-shit... am I allowed to say that? Uh... I am twenty seven--uh, graduated from Arizona S-s-state, Aaaand n-now I live here. I-Is that good enough? (Nervous laugh)"
(Frantic) "Bloody hell... Zion, what are you doing? We-we aren't e-even armed! We have to get out of here before-Oh my WORD, ZION! ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING?"
(Uplifting) "Look... w-we only have 10 hours to go then we'll be there. You realize he's comp-pletely infatuated with her, right? He doesn't have the guts to kill her... He was jussst trying to scare us into coming sooner. We need to attack him when he has given up and won't expect anything f-from us anymore. Stay determined."
Eloise Magalimov is an immigrant from Russia and a victim of being heavily mistreated as a child by her mother. She is 24 years old and stands at around 5'8. She is your seemingly standard "No-nonsense, only work" type of gal who takes her job very seriously and makes sure that her personal life does not get into the way of her work. She is first introduced as being rather cold and dismissive of other peoples interactions towards her. She is a workaholic, an incredible realist, intelligent and witty. Her delivery needs to be very blunt and serious during the beginning of her arc. The audience slowly learns that she is a person with cold hands, yet has a warm heart. She does not wish for anyone to go through the same pain she had to suffer to which is why she joined the FBI. As we go through her arc, she learns to break out of her shell and to not bottle up her feelings while also openly expressing her emotions towards others.
Since Eloise is originally from Russia I would REALLY prefer if she had a Russian accent, doesn't have to be too over the top, it can be very slight, but then again the accent isn't required. Her delivery, as stated before, can be very blunt, but nothing too robotic. As she grows throughout the story, she can sound more sympathetic and warm. There may be a possibility that she will speak some dialogue in Russian, although it will be only a few words.
Magalimov is pronounced (Muh-gah-lee-moff)
(Introducing) "Agent Eloise Magalimov. I work with the FBI... Now, Mr. Ontario, I'd like to have a few words with you revolving around this recent case. Save yourself the time and don't try to stall on your answers. I'd like you to get straight to the point so we can end this as soon as possible for you. Now, any questions before we start?"
(Flashback scene, Teen Eloise, Horrified) "Elias...? (Screams) ELIAS!" (Evolve into hysteria, about 10 seconds of screams, no's, whatever works for you.)
(Sympathetic, Reassuring) "Are you Meghan? Okay... I'm Eloise, I'm here to help you get out of here okay, sweetie? Your parents are very excited to see you, alright? Don't worry, I got you. Just try not to move your arm too much."
Clara Moore is a native to Creawell, she stands at 5'6 and is 30. Clara is an extremely motherly person and serves as the groups "Therapist". She has excellent social skills and makes it her top priority to make everyone feel welcome. She's very ambitious, confident and caring. However, her overprotective nature can take the best of her to the point where she becomes extremely stubborn and dismissive to what other people think. Although she is extremely caring, she has the mentality where she believes that she is right about everything, and gets very upset when it all doesn't work out. During the running of the series, Clara learns to open herself up to other peoples views, not only her own.
I am not too picky on Clara's voice as much as the others, However a VA who is able to portray an ambitious, caring young woman effortlessly is ideal. Since she has always lived in America her accent is a standard America accent, although if you think something else might work, feel free to try it out!
(Introducing) "Agent Moore. Feel free to call me Clara, I'm pretty lenient when it comes to those things. Anyways, do you mind if I have a look around your property? I'm not here to antagonize you, simply just treat me as one of your friends and it will all go by smoothly, alright?"
(Frustrated) "What the HELL did you do? Seriously, I told you to stay by my side so this wouldn't happen! ...Look, I'm sorry for yelling kiddo, but I'm pretty sure I made my instructions pretty clear. Now let's try to get you out of this.."
(Enthusiastic) "Kiddo, that was fucking awesome! Oh my god! You actually...Jesus Christ! I knew you had it in you! (Squeal) I'm so proud! Hahaha!"
Zion Moore is a 21 year old man who stands at 5'10 and is a new (and kind of unprofessional) recruit in the FBI. Because of his sexuality, his parents kicked him out and abandoned him when he was around 13 which has caused Zion to struggle with his whole identity. After years of living on the streets, Clara took him in and became his older sister. Since then, Zion has become a lot less timid but due to his parents absence, Zion is described as harsh, hotheaded, and insecure. However, he is also incredibly street smart, and has a witty sense of humor. He has an entertaining nature to him, which makes him attractive for many folks. As we watch Zion in the series, he learns to accept his sexuality and and identity, which then helps him trust others more easily.
Along with Clara, Zion's voice is up to you. However, I am seeking to cast a VA with perfect comedic timing and can easily capture a sarcastic, dry sense of humor and delivery, as well as easily being able to show his soft side and his suppressed anger at some parts. Any accent is fine, especially a New Yorker accent, but I have no preference. Zion does cuss profusely though, so please make sure you are comfortable with that before auditioning.
(Introducing) "Yo, the name is Agent Zion Moore. I work with the FBI...surprisingly. Shit, uh... I'm not sure what else to say...fuck. (Clears throat) I really like playing the bass. Y'know I tried to start a band but everyone kind of fucking sucked so I called it off, but I'm thinking if this FBI thing doesn't work out I could definitely do my own thing, like...like if I had a solo album, I would definitely call it something like...Downtown Rainfall or...Oh shit, I was supposed to arrest you."
(Upset) "I'm not a fucking child! I'm 21 FUCKING years old! I'm allowed to do my own shit. Hell, I grew up doing my own shit because, hey! Don't you remember? I had no FUCKING parents looking after me cause the jackasses ditched my ass! So I can fend for myself, bitch... I have been for basically my entire life. Goddamn."
(Content, jokingly) "Damn, dude. Calm your tits and grab a bottle, it's in the fridge...You look like you're about to fucking murder someone. If you do, don't get it on the carpet. Clara will beat my ass with a club."
Lancaster Albridge is the self-proclaimed "Crime-lord" of Creawell, being the heart of all the destruction and distress that is caused in the city. However, he is incredibly intelligent, and well spoken, however, extremely chaotic. He's ruthless, and won't hesitate doing the most baffling things. He can easily manipulate and guilt trip anyone he pleases, and stands as the main antagonist of the series.
For Lancaster, I imagine him sounding very smooth and well spoken. An English accent would be ideal. The way he speaks is almost therapeutic, and extremely attractive, even with his chaotic manner. However, he needs to also sound creepy and menacing. He's basically a genderbent version of Lady Dimitrescu.
(Introducing) "My dear... what do we have here? Don't be frightened. I am Lancaster. You may or may not have heard of me. Now... let me think. What would be the best way to kill you? Any suggestions?"
(Menacing) "You forget that I basically control all of Creawell? Your ignorance simply baffles me. I never bothered you at first, so why come after me when I have done nothing to you? It's interesting, to say the least. Your god-complex really takes over the best of you, doesn't it? (Laughs) Pathetic."
(Threatening) "Think about it! You are merely playing a part in the ever-growing corruption of America! YOU are the problem here, dear. I am just simply viewing from afar, watching your damned government add fuel to the fire."
Amanda Romero is the Head of the Department in the Creawell region. She's strict and is thoroughly professional. However, after a huge potential scandal against her is at the brim of being released to the public. Amanda ditches her work-ethic and will do everything in her power to not ruin her reputation and her career.
I am searching for a VA who can easily capture a well-spoken, professional energy, but can also invoke the suppressed anger that Amanda has. No preference on her accent.
(Introducing) "Amanda Romero. I am the Head of the Department for the Creawell FBI Location. I must say, it's quite the pleasure to meet you. Now, what brings you here today?"
(Annoyed, yet professional) "I thought I made it very clear that I want that agent to LEAVE that building alone. If he continues to bother me or anyone else about it, he will be reprimanded. Do you understand?"
(Snapped) "I've HAD IT! You are a POOR excuse for an FBI agent. I have given you multiple chances yet you continue to ridicule your superior and shit on our reputation! Now, I'm SORRY for the language but I have had far enough. Get the HELL out of my sight."
Mateo Ortega is a Deputy Special Agent in Charge (DSAC) In the department. He's an intelligent, soft spoken man, who has an incredibly big heart, as he is viewed as a father figure to several characters. He can be seemingly intimidating, but shows people that he can be a huge teddy bear.
Since Mateo is an older character (Late 50s-60s) I would like him to sound like a Middle aged man. Any accent is fine.
(Introducing) "Special Agent Mateo Ortega. I work with the FBI as an DSAC... No everything is fine, Ma'am. We are just searching your neighbors house. Speaking of which, do you mind if you share any information you have on Mr. Sellers?"
(Tired) "Alright...alright. I cannot believe I am saying this to a person who literally passed the FBI program but, Agent Moore... Do NOT shoot blindly in the dark because you heard a creak. (Sigh) Am I making myself clear?"
(Urgent) "Hold on! Stop it. Get her out of here! She cannot keep going when both of her ankles were slashed. Calm down dear, we're getting you to the hospital. Don't resist...alright? Don't make it worse. You've done enough...you've done enough."
Miles Anderson is the Landlord of the apartment Philip lives in, as well as being a good friend of his. He's incredibly comedic, extroverted, and friendly to those close to him. I am seeking a VA who has perfect comedic timing and delivery. Not too worried about what his voice should be like. I am open to anything.
(Introducing) "I'm Miles, I own the place. Uh, so... Something goin' on like a leak...roach problem...stench?"
(Calling out) "Hey, Philip! Don't forget that rent is due Friday! ...I SAID RENT IS DUE FRIDA- damn dude can you not hear?"
(Jokingly) "Look at you, Philip! Finally grew a pair of balls and brought a girl home. Hey, hey! I'm kidding. Totally kidding. Hahaha."
Zeke Brahms is the neighbor of Philip, Clara, and Zion, as well as being the main love-interest for Zion. He's chill, has a dry sense of humor, and has quite the strange infatuation with grapes. He's mainly used to comedic purposes.
Not too picky on what he sounds like, however I am seeking a VA who has impeccable comedic timing is ideal.
(Introducing) "Sup, I'm Zeke. Just saw you moved in and, y'know, I want to be all "neighborly" and introduce myself and whateeever. Anyways, I'm right next door if you need anything. Peace."
(Casual, jokingly) "Clara, tell your little brother to lay the hell off. He's like a little puppy... Is he usually like that?"
(Angrily comedic) "MILES YOU LITTLE SHIT! STOP TURNING OFF MY DAMN POWER!"
A cold, hotheaded, 28-year-old agent who is also the ex-boyfriend of Eloise Magalimov. Although he is extremely disliked by many employees, he still remains to be a reliable and top agent in the department. No matter what, he gets the work done, and will not worry about your feelings. People can gain his trust, which thus reveals his more caring attitude. However, after the recent breakup with Agent Magalimov, Winter has since then become a lot more short-tempered and annoyed.
Winter's voice should sound rather harsh and cold. I need a VA who is able to raise his/her voice, and show that aggravation. His accent is North American, so I would like to stick with that. Other than that, not too picky on what he should sound like.
(Introducing) "Agent Thompson. I'm with the FBI. Now, don't pull any stupid shit or I'll blow your fucking brains out, you hear me?"
(Aggravated) "Hey, kid! I told you to not mess with my damn case file. Last time I checked, you were fuckin' suspended, ay? ...Tch, that's what I thought jackass."
(Bargaining) "You complete me, El. You made me whole again. What happened to us, seriously? You and I... we were absolutely unstoppable. Why did we stop?"
Cousin of Winter Thompson and newly recruited employee in the department. Unlike her cousin, Marilyn is extremely optimistic, warm, and friendly to everyone. She shines a good light on the department with her enthusiastic attitude, and tries to seek the best out of everyone.
Marilyn is from France, so having a VA who can easily pull of a convincing French accent is ideal. Other than that, not too picky on what she sounds like.
(Introducing) "My name is Marilyn! Marilyn Thompson. It's so good to meet you! Winter has told me so much about you! (Laughs)"
(Pleading) "Please don't fight! Let's just work this out like adults! Alright, everyone? I know we're all on edge right now but this is seriously not the best time to pick a fight!"
(Enthusiastic) "CLARAAAA! We saved you a seat over here. Come on over, girlie!"
Elias Magalimov is the late brother of Eloise. He died tragically during a home incident several years ago so he will only appear in flashback scenes. He is a soft-spoken, caring brother who loves his sister unconditionally.
I would prefer a Russian accent for him, but I am open to others. Elias has a raspy, soft voice and broken English. Sort of like how many people imagine Asriel's voice from Undertale.
Elias may require some Russian words to be spoken. Although it will be few.
(Introducing) "I am... Elias. This my little sister, Eloise. We just moved here from Russia. Sorry, she is quite shy."
(Concerned) "Eloise? Eloise?!"
Woman ensemble voices are incredibly important to the series as it includes, Suspects, victims, witnesses, civilians, shop-owners, etc. For ensemble voices, please show me your range in vocal dialects, in every take. Minimum amount of takes for each line is 3, EXCEPT for the screaming, crying, etc. That only has to be recorded once. Show me what you got!
"Hey! Watch where you're going, asshole! You don't see me walking?"
"The man was tall... like towering. He just... raised the bat and aimed it towards me, then it just went black...I don't have a clue on what he looks like, I didn't have time to process."
(Please use clips of crying, screaming, laughing and anything else you'd like to add.)

Although I do expect to be the only storyboard artist, it would be absolutely incredible to have a few artists help dedicate their talent and time to help out. Craewell most likely won't be fully animated, just in storyboard style. I'm open to any art style, though I am leaning towards stylistic realism. Please link me a google doc with a portfolio of your work in your application.
