Help wanted for Jaguar CD Movie: Music, Voice Acting (m/f)

[Starcat]

Hey my fellow Jag fans!

 

I am currently working on an animated movie, which will be based on my reader’s long time favorite short story “the last chance”.

 

Roughly summed up:

It’s a story about a broken man and a desperate woman. Both feel completely lost and alone in a dark and decaying big city environment. Both made their way through this cold and desolate world on their own, until they meet each other for the first time on the roof of a building, planning to end their lives. In this desperate situation they begin realize for the first time, that they are the soul mates they have been searching for their entire lives. This gives their lives a new meaning.

 

The characters of the movie will have a serious look, but based on cel shading. I imagine the look of the movie to be very dark and dirty in general. Maybe a bit like the noir style. A huge city, dark sky, neon light, trash lying around, burned out cars. Decaying buildings with lots of graffiti. But at the same time a city with huge skyscrapers where the big business takes place and millions are won and lost by the hour. The only reason for the rich to visit the neon district of the city is to enjoy themselves with the beautiful women or mocking the bums that are starving in the streets and living of what the rich throw at them. Nobody really cares about the people that actually have to live in this environment. Money and power rule the city and if you have neither nor, you have to fight for your survival. Some do it by selling themselves to the rich, some try it through gambling, some do hard honest work hoping to make it someday. And some try to take the quick way out by stealing, murder. Or suicide.

 

It’s a very dark and atmospheric tale, but loosen up by a lot of black humor. Even though the setting is very mature, there is hardly (if any) violence or nudity planned for the flick, so we’re not talking about an offensive movie. It’s really a project you can be proud to show your friends.

 

The movie will be freely available as download once it is finished, at the same time it will be for sale as Jaguar CD and DVD for those who prefer a professional looking packaging.

 

Those who contribute to the project with music or voice-acting will be mentioned in the credits and they will of course also get a it for free with professional packaging on DVD and Jaguar CD.

 

Now to what I need: I need at least one female and male voice actor to speak English text, preferably with a deep voice in terms of the male voice. The voice samples need to be submitted in mp3 format.

 

Regarding Music, I am looking for dark sounding, metal, gothic, ebm like music. As well as melodic / symphonic music with flute, acoustic guitar, piano or violin for more emotional scenes. It also should be submitted as mp3 format. You are pretty open regarding the music except for that.

 

Please feel free to contact me as soon as possible if you are interested in helping out, in that case please e-mail me first and then send me mp3 samples of your voice acting talents or music ideas or previous work. By submitting anything you agree that I am free to use it inside of the movie project.

 

I am very excited about this project and I really hope to find help with it soon.

 

You are welcome to read the original story on my website, that this movie will be based on. You can find it on: www.larshannig.com in the writing section after selecting english language in the upper right corner of the site.

 

P.S. I have attached an early picture to show a bit of the look and feel of the movie.

 

Regards, Lars.

Interesting... do you have a snippet of a script to read off?

 

My voice isn't that deep else I'd try to give it a go.... really interested in seeing who fills in these spots.
