Hi,
In the next few months I will be creating a motion comic called 'Wraith' about a young boy who is pulled between this world and the world of the dead.
I will be looking for voice actors for the following roles...
--------------------------------
Name: Finn Riley
Age: 10
Character traits:
Finn would be the boy at school who would spend most of his
lunch-times sequestered away in the library reading comic books or old classics.
His favourite being Dumas’ ‘Count of Monte Cristo’. While the other boys would
be outsode playing football Finn would be behind the shelves in the library.
The only time Finn does love going outside it at weekends when he goes to the
forest near his house and climb to the top of the biggest tree he can find. Often
taking books up there in a back-pack to read.
He’s smart but not an over-achiever.
His best friend; Lacey, who he grew up next door to, died in a hit-and-run a year
before the story starts.
Many people, including his father, step-mother and his teachers think that the
reason Finn is so reclusive is the loss of his best friend but the truth is Finn was
always that way. Losing his best friend just made it obvious.
As Finn spends more time in the Necroverse, he discovers that he can absorb and
mould its consituent energy, being a comic-book fan, Finn wraps the energy around
him subconsciously forming a super-hero like armor.
As the story progresses, Finn discovers the reason he can do this.
Dislikes: Sports, Maths, Winter.
Favourite movies: Transformers, Goonies, Back to the Future
Favourite music: Blues, Elvis, Swing
Family: Valerie Riley – Mother
James Harris – Step-father
Anna Riley – Old sister (17)
Hobbies: Comic books, reading, geology, tree-climbing.
Audition lines:
"What can I do? I'm just a kid"
"Ok, no more running"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name: Lacey Roberts
Age: 12
Character traits:
Lacey was Finn’s best friend for years. Before the main narrative of the story takes place
Lacey is killed in a hit and run about a year previous.
Lacey was the one out of her and Finn, who had big ambitions. She wanted to run her own
business by age 21 and her own conglomerate by 30.She is extremely sharp-witted, highly
intelligent and is at the top of class in more or less every class she takes, much to Finn’s
dismay, often without trying. Lacey has a cutting
sense of humour.
In life Lacey was incredibly resourceful and able to talk her way out of most situations, in
death she is just as resourceful. She has meticulously studied the Animoprum, studying the
way it works, it’s layount, architecture and secrets.
She knows more about Finn’s role and identity than she let’s on, Finn knows she’s keeping
something from him.
Although Lacey lost all of her ambitions and dreams when she was killed, and is a
permanent resident of the Animorum, she isn’t bitter. She is just as driven as she was when
she was alive.
Lacey is Finn’s guide in the Animorum, if anyone can help him survive, she can.
Finn proposed to Lacey when they were not much less than eight years old and Lacey
never lets him forget it.
Audition lines:
"You're more than you think you are Finn Riley"
"This... is the Animorum"
------------------------------------------------------
Name: Ben Keating
Age: 61
Ben has been homeless since he was 16, he’s smarter than he likes to give away and has a habit of giving any money he earns from busking to other homeless folk that he thinks need it more than him.
Audition lines:
"Well, sometimes you have to stop running son"
"How can anyone be sad, when the sun is shining like that?"
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Older version of Finn but with exact same character traits
Audition lines:
"I'm scared Lacey, really really scared"
"What's happened to me?"
-----------------------------------------------------
Name: Robin Hicks
Age: 36

Audition lines:
"Are you ok? What happened to you kid?"
"Come over here, it's safe"
