DYAD (A 2D Animated Series) Trailer Casting **PAID**
Trina for Selena Riggs
Set Price: 50 cents per line
Accent: North American
Age: 9, almost 10
Singing Range: Soprano
Voice Type: Medium Female Voice
(Please note, while Selena is a kid, please don't lean toooo much into a stereotypical little kid voice, as that does not suit her character very well. She is more tomboyish)
Description: Selena has good intentions but is very unpredictable as she is mischievous and overambitious. She doesn’t want to be looked down on just because she’s younger and less experienced. She’s determined to live up to the family reputation but often gets in trouble trying to prove herself. She’s very sarcastic and prideful from wanting to prove herself but she will always still come through for the people she cares for, even if it takes a bit.
Other Notes: Voice should be very confident but still able to show emotion
Audition Song Options:
Girl Scout from Beetlejuice
Naughty from Matilda
Tomorrow from Annie
1. [proud] The name’s Selena. I’m kind of the coolest Riggs kid of them all. Now, I don’t mean to sound conceited, but this is kind of a special moment. [She pauses dramatically for a moment, then points up at Mason and the Scientist.] For you. [She puffs out her chest.] Cuz in a couple years, you’ll be able to say you knew me back before I became the most revered person in my family’s history.
2. (puts one of her hands on her hip, angry) You wanna know what I think? (sassy) I think that you and Bruce just can’t accept the fact that I’m quicker at grasping new things than you are, and so you want to push me away for as long as possible to prevent me from ever being able to catch up with you. You’re afraid that if I do catch up to you guys, I’ll be better at things than you and I’ll outshine you, and you don’t wanna let that happen. (sarcastic) No, you can’t risk being outdone by your good-for-nothing little sister! (angry huff) And so instead of giving me opportunities to improve myself, you just wanna hold me back. (sassy) Isn’t that right? (dark) You two need to face it—(angrily, accusingly) you’re jealous of me!
3. (looks at her hands, ashamed) But…I…I don’t know what happened. I didn’t mean to do anything, it just exploded out of nowhere…(near tears, falling to her knees) I’m sorry, I'm SO sorry!! I didn’t mean for any of this to happen…I really didn’t…
4. Please sing one of the audition songs
Hello! I'm Holly, one of the casting directors for this project. I absolutely love your voice for Selena but I was wondering if you could get rid of that echo. If it's a room echo simply adding more soft items (Like blankets or pillows) to absorb the echo would help or also recording under a blanket would help a lot. Also I would love to hear you sing Tomorrow for Annie, the chorus is super simple if you'd be willing to take a crack at it. Thank you so much for your audition.
thank you i will try!
