Tales of Old- Animated student film
Kobe Van Bogaert for The Puca
A puca (pronounced poo-kah) is a celtic fae creature from Irish mythology, with the ability to shape shift.
You are playing a fast talking, Irish rabbit. He is malevolent in nature, and as a fae creature has existed for thousands of years. He is wise but also a mischievous trickster, his voice should balance these qualities. Think of someone who would tell you a good, very intriguing story.
Idealy, his voice would be slightly higher in pitch, and very chipper and non threatening despite his appearance.
The role is for animated student short film, which will be around 4-5 minutes in length, so this is ideally not a long role, but might be hard to fill because I want to find someone who fit's the role as best as possible. The accent is very important to me, I really want to make sure it sounds authentic as possible :)
Here is some voice inspiration;

Say, you don't seem like you know all that much about yer old fella..?
Would you like me to tell you the story of how we met?
The town was furious at me. They sent a rally of brave young men to confront me.
But I outsmarted them. I turned into a stallion, offered them a ride on my back.
When they were reckless enough to take a gander, I threw them off and pranced around with glee!
Sorry lass, did I give you a fright?
I just wanted to talk to ya, thats all!
Thanks so much for your audition, this is a fun take on the character, he sounds very wise cracking here, I like it!
