Something Different: Manga Oneshot (Animated Panels w/ Voice Acting)
Project Overview
Voice Acting for Manga Oneshot
Hey everyone, hope you are doing well. I've recently completed my first manga oneshot and was looking into having the story animated by manga panels.
Link to Oneshot: https://medibang.com/book/ea2210240244577670014665585/
My goal for this oneshot along with animating the manga panels is to have 7 different voice actors for all the characters that appear in the story. As of now, I only have 66 pages to the oneshot which is 3 chapters of my story. I will continue to create more chapters in the future and with every 3 chapters, I will ask for more voice acting. This will be my first time hiring someone for a project like this so if you have any questions and would like to accept the role, let me know.
Here are the list of characters I am looking for along with what I feel is needed by the voice actor:
1) Nole Fulgur: Main character of the story (Has the most dialogue) He's a 17 year old teen, has a laid back attitude but does get agitated easily when faced with a problem.
2) Seth Arnald: 17 year old teen with a positive and energetic attitude. Has his serious moments, but is generally supportive when he knows whats best for someone.
3) Angry Protestor/Frankie: These two characters will be played by the same actor and will have different voices. The Angry Protestor is an older man in his 40's that is loud and annoying. (He only shows up for one scene so it's not a big role) Frankie is a thug in his mid 20's and is one of those characters that has a calm but demeaning tone behind his voice. He also gets mad very easily and is always on edge.
4) Reaper of Death: Homeless person who looks to be in her early 30s. Talks in a condescending tone and has no filters. Likes to provoke others and see their reaction.
5) Raul/Travis: These two are grade schoolers are also thugs (in training) under Frankie that will be played by the same actor with different voices. Raul has a serious tone and tries to act mature in front of everyone. Easily scarred in front of violence. Travis is the opposite, who has a goofy personality even when serious. Jokes around too much and is annoying.
6) Sillhouette/McNielgy: These two characters will be played by the same actor and will have different voices. The Silhouette a spirit that talks with a suspenseful and hateful attitude. Since he isn't human and is thousands of years old, he has a sort of a mysterious echo to his voice. McNielgy is an old man in his mid 60's who talks as your typical boomer who hates all the younger generation. He also has a hateful tone towards everyone but in a more sinister way, compared to the silhouette who is mainly tired of dealing with humans and isn't out to kill or put them in danger. Whereas McNielgy is spiteful towards all the younger ones and will kill them if given the chance.

Update 11/5: Thanks everyone for your submissions. I appreciate everyone taking the time to check out the one-shot and audition for the roles. Sorry if I didn't choose your submission over others. It's hard to describe what voices I am looking for to an exact, but it is something I can only approve of if I hear it. Hopefully if this manga one-shot does well in the future, I will reopen this submission for new characters and roles.

Uggh, I can't even yell for help... I did all this... Just to prove something... All this for nothing
Page 27 Panel 1:
I mean... Society's already Fucked. And I could care less about adding onto that. If I had powers that let me do whatever I want, I'd travel the world without any care. I wouldn't mind being a Seeker that got to see the good of the world instead of all the bad

Principal McNielgy hates all the students so he'll definitely get turned on if the Reaper shows up.
Page 4 Panel 3:
But you do! You see, that's your problem. You know what's happening but you never wanted to do anything about it. What ever happened to being a Seeker? Traveling the world, finding your own truth?

Page 26 Panel 5:
I see... Now then, I'll ask you one more thing. What would you if you had the power to be free from all worldly limitations? Would you use it to save society, or destroy it?
Page 28 Panel 2:
Nole. I've killed thousands of people in hopes they would receive my burden. None have proven their worth to me until now...

Silhouette: It seems like it's too early for me to talk about your Nullity Art. But before I go... I'm distorting your sense of time.
Page 39 Panel 5:
McNielgy: Let me be the first to tell you all how disappointed I am in all of your worthless lives. Disgusting, vile, miserable excuses for human beings. There's a special place in hell for all of you!"
