Topic: Lego WWI - The Battle of the Somme - VOICE ACTORS NEEDED URGENTLY!!!

EDIT: I just thought I would update this casting call one last time now that all the parts have been taken, even though I doubt anyone cares mini/tongue

This is the casting call for my upcoming movie which is almost completed. EDIT: I need voice actors pretty quickly, and while I would still like British accents if you can't do one, then send me an audition anyway and I'll decide if I can use your voice or not. Even if you can only do a really bad accent, I would still like to hear it. Please audition!


PILOT:
Talks with a sense of positivity, and is proud of what he has achieved.
N. of lines: 5
Test line: It looks like the bombardment was a success.
Extra info: None
Taken by LegoJosephStudios!

GENERAL:
Confident in his men and is the sort who is always encouraging people to do their best and try their hardest. He talks with a serious tone.
N. of lines: 7
Test line: a) Tell our troops to get an early night. They'll need it.
          or b) Good luck out there lads! You'll need it! Fix bayonets!
Extra info: None
Taken by William Osborne!

RYAN
One of the main characters. Cocky, optimistic, believes that everything that happens is meant to be and that everything is skill. He fears nothing.
N. of lines: 8
Test line: Ha! There is no such thing as luck!
Extra info:
Taken by SurfSmurf778!

KENNY
The other main character, he is more serious and realistic than his friend and calculates the risks rather than just diving into them head first.
N. of lines: 5
Test line: a) Okay. Let's try and reach the next good ol' we can find.
          or b)We're gonna make it, you and me. (note that this is one of the lines where expressing your emotions will be helpful)
Extra info: As partly stated above, the voice actor for Kenny must be able to get emotional at one point, so please bear this in mind if you would like to audition for Kenny.
Taken by JohnDthunDer!

GERMAN OFFICER
This guy is all about speed and does not tolerate any messing about in the slightest. He is ruthless and is prepared to do whatever it takes to kill all of the British.
N. of lines: 1 line of speech (split into 4 different parts of the movie)
Test line: Setzen Sie Ihr Fuer fort! (Translates as "Continue your fire!')
Extra info: German accent would be nice, but at the end of the day it is not 100% necessary.
Taken by someone outside of BiM!

If you would like to audition, then please send your auditions to [email protected]

P.S. If anyone is German speaking/knows a fair bit of German (I'm not talking about individual words here but rather knowing how to form sentences etc. as the limited German that I had learnt has completely disappeared from my memory mini/tongue and so I've had to use Google translate mini/jaw for the lines of the German Officer, and I don't really trust Google translate mini/lol)

I don't trust Google anything, but when I use worldlingo.com to translate, I get good results when I avoid submitting idiomatic English to the translator.  Also, I had a contact from Germany who said he'd help with any German I needed.  I never contacted him and it's been 3 years, but maybe this lead is not dead.  I can try if you PM me lines.

Again, i too don't trust google translate its landed me in a bit of trouble more than once mini/lol out of interest how English do the accents need to be, any specific region in England? Or can an accent be Scottish Welsh or Irish since ya know they too fought in the war. It would be great if you could answer these mini/smile

Hello! I think I recognise ya mini/wink Welcome Jamo Jar to BiM, and yes I am happy for any sort of UK accent, so I am perfectly happy for you to voice act, if you want to. As I have mentioned I would like to get someone with a German accent for the German officer (and while I may have a potential voice actor for the German, if there are any German speakers here/ people who can do a good German accent then feel free to voice act)! However if you want to audition for any of the other 3 then feel free! mini/smile

Note to all: I will try and post some BTS pictures of the set and everything on the Production log that I have completely and utterly neglected throughout the course of this project to show you all what you might be able to expect.

Hay! Thanks dragon brick! It's great to see a familiar face here, I don't know how I haven't found bricks in motion sooner!!! I'll definitely be sending in a couple of auditions especially for kenny, as his character really appeals to me.

A couple of quick questions, sorry mini/blankexpression what format do you want the audition audio to be in? MP3 etc. Also how soon are you going to need the lines as I can probably do them in the next few days.

Re: Lego WWI - The Battle of the Somme - VOICE ACTORS NEEDED URGENTLY!!!

There are still roles available for the General, Ryan and the German Officer! Seeing as I have finished all of the animation now, it is important that I get people for voices in the next few days!
