Looking for voice cast for Animorphs animation
« on: November 26, 2011, 11:14:58 AM »
Hi everybody!:) I decided to work on animated versions of the Animorphs books, and have been playing around with everything and like how things are looking, but of course the characters need voices :P

I intend to make faithful adaptions of all or most of the books, but will start with just The Invasion to see how it looks when all put together, and how well received it is by fans.

So if you want to take part, email me a sample of you reading for whichever character you want to play, preferably their opening sentences (My name is Jake, etc) or something else. If it's a character like Visser Three, chose whatever you think is most effective. Creative input is welcomed too, such as scripts etc!

You can email me at hariboicecream@live.co.uk or inbox me on here :)

This sounds interesting. What do you mean "animated" version of the books, though? Do you intend to actually draw the characters? :huh:

I hate to sound rather pessimistic, but this will fail. Obviously you haven't looked around here much, or you would have noticed that there is already a project underway to do audiobook adaptations of the series. (Disclaimer: I founded the project, and in some ways that makes us competitors.) It is slow, arduous work, and we have a decent-sized group working on it. Our progress comes in between rather frustrating periods of inactivity, and we've had several cast members drop out, requiring re-recording of their lines with a new VA. Doing this by yourself (at least that's what it seems like) will simply not happen.

Also, another note: I poked around on AFF for a bit after reading your thread, and you guys still have the eBooks that we made (at least you claim to. Dunno if they're still in that forum.) When the rereleases had been announced, RAF got an email from Scholastic that demanded we take the eBooks down. The only reason the audiobooks haven't met a similar fate is because the project is too small to notice. If your project gets anywhere meaningful, it'll get a C&D, I guarantee. Plus, you might alert Scholastic to the fact that AFF is still hosting our eBooks. So be careful.

I refuse to remove this sig because of some petty argument. RAF must remain solid.
By popular demand, now with Gaz!

I'd like to follow this up with the question of whether you have samples of previous work to show us. Maybe a youtube video of other animation you've done?

That being said, if ever we get around to doing more of the audiobooks, I know I'd be okay with you using the audio dialogue from my lines (I play Cassie and a handfull of characters with decidedly less lines), and if you asked, I'm sure most of the other actors would probably agree, too. It would be a good way to kill two birds with one stone. (Although of course, the other actors would have to agree to this, so I won't speak for them)

I'd like to see an example of previous animations you've done.
