OFF-RECORD
Project Overview
OFF-RECORD is an animated thesis film about a group of four friends who all work in the film industry sharing their story about the worst director they've ever worked with. Little do they know that they're all talking about the same director, and that the man himself is in the same restaurant!

NOTES:
Tone of the film is light-hearted and comedic!
Because I'm working with a student budget, VAs will be paid $30 USD each with payment made through Paypal.
Some of the lines have been adjusted since the storyboards, and Diane has been renamed to Janet.
Film will be submitted to film festivals and to Youtube.
The characters, apart from Daniel, will do an impression of the director, who has a posh, upper-class accent. Poor imitations of this accent is encouraged! Similar to this clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Zfs5s-VQA0&ab_channel=husenlee
I would like for the VAs to do their own take on the characters, so bonus points if you can do a little improv!
Feel free to ask if you have any questions!

INFO:
- 1 of 4 main cast members, around 10-15 lines
- Must have access to a professional mic and recording setup.
- Transatlantic accent preferred but not required! (ability to do any other accent is also a bonus).
- Janet is a costume designer who takes a lot of pride in her work. Her personality is similar to Rarity from My Little Pony, however I imagine her voice would be more subdued and a bit deeper than hers.

- Ava is a camera operator. She's usually cool and speaks a bit flatly. I imagine her voice to be on the deeper end.
