Hello everyone, I'm working on an original short entitled "Alacrity". Here is the WIP of the project: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGej1TrWMvE

Alacrity will be in Japanese and thus, I'll need voice actors who know how to speak it fluently. The rolls I am looking for are as follows:

Yuzuki (Female): Yuzuki is the main antagonist. Her voice can be either high or deep but what is important is that she sounds as creepy as possible. She is a magic user who has a large scar across her mouth and has a thinning hairline.

Lokarn (Male): Lokarn is the Captain of the keep and will be fighting Alacrity. His voice needs to be deep and intimidating. The voice actor for Lokarn will need to do a lot of battle sounds like grunts, yells and sounds of pain.

Guards 1 and 2 (Both Male): Guard 1 will be walking along and joking around with Guard 2. No preference on the pitch of their voices.

Guard 3 (Male): Guard 3 has one line and then gets killed by Alacrity. No preference to pitch.

** Since Guards 1,2 and 3 have small parts, I may have the voice actors do other character's voices if the script changes.

The deadline is July 5th for Guards 1 and 2 and August 1st for the rest.
In the audition, please say a few lines in Japanese with different emotions (Happy, sad, angry). In addition, please read these in any tone you see fit:

Nando demo kuri kaesu, onnaji ninmu. Donna ni chiisana misi dato shitemo…donna assai na ayamachi demo. shikei da.

If you are interested in trying out for any of these, please send me an mp3 or wav to niconfl@yahoo.com or send a youtube link with the audition to my PM here or on Youtube (my YT name is smyton4tw).

This animation has been a lot of fun so far and I really hope to have a few more talented people join us for the project. Thank you for your time and feel free to ask me any questions or concerns you may have.

I can speak with absolutly no ploblem and I have a deep voice (think Alucard) but I don't understand it tho so... will there be a traduction to understand what I'm saying in order to have the right feelings while saying the lines?

Really Yappano? I'm glad to hear that! Please send me a PM with your audition :)

Jin, I'd like for the Japanese speakers to sound like a native. As long as you can speak it, we shouldn't have a problem! Thank you guys.
