Voice Actor Required!
TR8's second episode is done, but we need a voice actor for The Bucket Kid, the deuteragonist of TR8.
The Runaway 8 - a Garry's Mod series
Project Overview
In a world where perfection is required, 8 unique and special kids overcome the horrors of a "perfect" society who consider imperfect people outcasts and thus must be executed, in a town where it's denizens are akin to the 1950s, but is in fact the year 2038, this series tackles childhood nightmares in the forms of antagonists, corrupt politics, and the backstory of the protagonist to figure out the mysteries of the city. The series itself is inspired by media such as Coraline and Little Nightmares, where the adults are the antagonists and monsters, and the kids are special and the heroes.
Disclaimer:There is swearing and dark themes in this series..

Writers will be asked to Voice chat with me through our private Discord server's Development Chat, helping develop episodes and providing feedback/ideas, the scripts are being written through our personal Google Doc and we use Discord's voice chat as easier function to communicate, You will be able to work alongside me.
Extra role notes:
I avoid two types of character writing: Stereotypes and Tokenism(meaning characters who exist to provide a specific diversity without a real character trait, I.e adding a gay character for the sole purpose of having a gay character and nothing else)
I am always willing to hear out ideas for characters and episodes, but the former will need to help provide some sense to the lore.
