Project Name: The Poisoned Rain of Agharti
Genre: Drama, Sci-Fi (apocalyptic)
Info: 8-minute Cel animation for my 2007 Honours Project.
Synopsis: Where once stood the revered city of rain, now an inhabitable toxic wasteland.
The city of Agharti was once one of the few places left unaffected by the world-wide drought. Before the war, Agharti traded clean water to other countries. Enraged by the price of water, the nations attacked the city, anticipating its surrender of clean water supply. Soon after the war, for reasons unknown, the rain of Agharti turned into poison. To escape the war and toxic rain, the citizens of Agharti were driven to live underground to survive and protect the remaining clean water supply.
The Poisoned Rain of Agharti follows two siblings, Nuru and Karin venturing from their underground dwelling to explore the war-torn ruins of the surface. Their adventure is disrupted when the poisoned rain falls and enemies return to search for Agharti's hidden water supply. Nuru and Karin must brave the toxic rain and enemy soldiers to reach the safety of their underground city.

CHARACTERS & AUDITION LINES
Nuru
http://www.altheaaseoche.com/agharti/gallery/Nuru-full.jpg
A 13-year-old who lives in a secret underground city. He takes care of his little sister, Karin in place of his sick mother and his father who is a scientist abroad searching for a cure for the rain.
Nuru intelligent and wants to be a scientist like his father, often travelling to and from the surface and his underground dwelling to collect samples of water and dirt for his own research.
AUDITIONS CLOSED
Karin
http://www.altheaaseoche.com/agharti/gallery/karin-full.jpg
6-year-old Karin has lived underground since the beginning of the war. She does not remember what the surface looks like and only knows about the pre-war era through stories the elders tell children. She looks up to her brother and doesn't like to be apart from him.
She is a very expressive girl; she does not speak many words but she cries, laughs and gasps. Her lines are often short but filled with emotion.
Vocal range: High
Audition Lines
1: From the underground labyrinth, Nuru and Karin emerge from the surface. Karin sees the sky for the first time. She looks up to the sky; it is bright and overwhelming. When her vision adjusts to the light she gasps in delight.
mmh............................. (gasp)
2: Running
(panting)
3: Nuru offers his hand and invites Karin to go further into the ruins of the city. The two start running with excitement and delight towards an adventure. (Looking for a very cute, childish but unforced laugh)
(laughing)
4: Looking for a cute, heart-breaking little-girl's cry. Sequence is about 15 seconds long. Her pain is both physical (from the rain) and emotional.
(crying) It hurts! (more crying)
The Soldier
The main antagonist of the story, he is an obstacle between the childen and the entrance to the underground city.
He wears a technologically advanced suit that makes him appear cyborg or robot-like (less human) to protect him from attacks and the contaminated air. Personality wise, he is a lazy, inexperienced soldier who is a conscript and just wants to do his time then live a peaceful life.
Vocal range: Low
Audition Lines
1: The soldier heads towards the explosion to inspect the cause of it when he hears an unusual noise.
Hmmm...?
2: Inspecting his surroundings, he responds to his team mate over the radio.
Ah, just some ghosts.
Radio
A one-liner part. He or she is a fellow team member of the soldier, possibly the captain of the squad. Character personality open to interpretation.
Vocal Range: Any
Audition Lines
1: Something wrong? Over.
Citizens of Agharti
Just need some general "panic" lines for the first scene when the city of Agharti is attacked by other countries. The whole city is on fire. The city siren is blaring in the background. Enemy planes fly over. Everyone is in panic. People are trapped under fallen objects. Everyone is trying to get out.
Vocal Range: Any (Mainly looking for females now)
Audition Lines
(note: I'm adding some more new ones in because I've got excellent ones for the ones I had up before)
4: (coughing and running)
6: (crying from bewilderment)
7: (screams from objects falling)
11: Who would do such a thing...?
12: Oh nooo!
13: Oh God....
14: This can't be happening...
