This will be for the first episode of a flash series I'm working on, currently titled "Without Equal" about humans with special abilities who are referred to as "channelers". The series aim is to be a comedic martial arts deal with some light drama, in the vein of Avatar: The Last Airbender.
For right now what I need are voices for an older man (in his 60s or 70s) and his two grandsons (in their 20s or late teens). The characters are only here for this scene and their ages aren't brought up in conversation, so there's some wiggle room to have fun with your audition (though if one of the two grandsons has a heavy russian accent or something and the other doesn't it could seem awkward, so let's stick to American accents). As a side note, applicants should be ready to do some exaggeratedly terrified lines, so if you can find a way to raise your voice without aggravating your microphone you're ahead of the pack.
On to the lines.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
OLD MAN: Old-fashioned "back in my day" type man who might have a few screws loose.
Audition line 1 (Angry, but in that old-people way that's hard to take seriously): "It's right over here, make sure you kill it twice!"
Audition line 2 (Again, comically angry): "Get back, child. We've come to slay the beast!"
GRANDSON 1: The most level-headed of the bunch. He becomes excited when he recognizes the main character so anyone applying for this role should be able to do some "I'm your biggest fan" enthusiasm. He also has the longest lines.
Audition line 1 (Excited): "They say you're the most powerful channeler in all the world and that no one knows the true limits of your power!"
Audition line 2 (Frightened): "RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!"
GRANDSON 2: A bit more arrogant and untrusting than the other grandson. He doesn't warm up to the main character, and won't be smiling at all during the scene.
Audition line 1 (Condescending): "Doesn't look like much to me. What makes you so special?"
Audition line 2 (Frightened almost to tears): "PLEASE DON'T!"

Please send auditions to BoekAestrin@gmail.com . I'll credit you however you'd like (your real name, your screen name, your grade school nickname, Lord George Washington Vader IIIIXVI, whatever). I'd like to make my decision on voice actors on Friday the 24th.
Please feel free to ask any further questions in this thread, by PM, or by email. I'm not picky.
