Lyra VA Casting Call

[LittleMissBloo 101]

Hey, all, PuniPony is about to officially begin working and releasing an exciting and somewhat extensive project.  We are going to be making an animatic series based around Derpy, Doctor Whooves, Twilight catching a cold, the magic of friendship, and the purest of love turned to the darkest of revenge. We are not officially opening up the casting call for this production (we still have yet to get the pilot out), however when we do there will be many roles that need to be filled.

 

Right now, we are looking for a Lyra.  Lyra's role in this production is an investigator of somewhat comedic relief.  She overhears Whooves slipping up and begins to suspect him of being "Human" in disguise.  Making it her mission to uncover the truth about him, she pops up in a majority of the episodes looking for clues.

 

I am looking for her voice to be somewhat androgynous.  Perhaps a lower female voice or a higher male voice? Very ambitious, and very dramatic.  Someone with lots of character is encouraged to apply for the role.

 

If you would like to audition for Lyra, please read the following lines (you can do a few different takes if you would like) and either post it here, a link to it on soundcloud or youtube, or email it to me at littlemissbloo@gmail.com  Remember, I'm not looking for a super canon voice, but rather one that is full of emotion and sounds good.  If you can both say the words naturally and use the widely accepted fan voice, that is perfectly alright.  Remember that recording quality and the acting come before sounding like what's 'canon/fanon'.

 

LYRA:

"Human eh? Something's afoot!"

 

LYRA:

"Oh to live in a world where you can wear shoes without having to nail them into your feet."

 

Simul says if you're really serious, read him a sonnet from shakespeare in your best Lyra voice.

 

Please simply do your best.  We're looking for good character, emotion, and good mic quality.  If you have any questions, feel free to ask.  To send your audition, either post it here, provide a link, or send to littlemissbloo@gmail.com.  The auditions posted to this thread will be considered before those that are emailed (as Simul and I will check this thread more frequently).

 

If you wish to be a part of this production, however do not want to audition as Lyra, please keep your eyes peeled for an announcement coming in mid to late January or early February 2014 where many more roles will be offered.   

 

Best of luck!

I'd love to audition for this! I'll probably post my audition tomorrow when I find time.

Sweet!! Can't wait to hear it!

Still waiting on Little Lizard's audition.  If there is no auditions or a lack of interest, I'll do the voice myself, however we really really really would like to have a more unique voice for Lyra.

I... don't know if I can do this: with a better mic I might, and I'd love to try. Let me try recording a few lines and seeing if it sounds like anything remotely useful.

I might go ahead and try for this I've never played Lyra before and it would be great for practice. I'm gonna try to go for a mix of her voice from Ponies With Hats and Lyra Finds a Blob on the Floor (that last one isn't too famous so look it up if you haven't seen it )

Oh just one question, is that second line supposed to be read in a serious or excited voice?

Hey that sounds super awesome!! And you try for whatever kind of voice you think is best.

 

As for that second line, how about trying both!! It could be a very dramatic serious, or a very dramatic excited! It's really up to interpretation.  But if you'd like a direction, try serious, although I really would like to hear both ways ;3

@@LittleMissBloo, 

 

Alrighty here's my first attempt. I tried to go for the voice that I imagine her with. Sorry if it's not what you had in mind

 

I did two takes on that second line. A more dramatic serious, and then an excited version. You choose which you like best.

Wonderful! Thank you both for your auditions! Would anyone else like to give it a shot? I'll be making a decision tomorrow evening, so you've got until then!

[The Elusive Cinder 1,328]

I tried some recording and while it wasn't terrible, it's doesn't even remotely compare to those two stunning examples.

 

Have to say, I can really see Lyra with Pink's voice acting - it just seems to fit how I picture her!

[LittleMissBloo 101]

Alrighty, everypony! We've chosen Pink Mist as our Lyra.  Thank you all that auditioned.  Please look forward to our next (VERY HUGE) casting call in late January, early February for more opportunities to participate in the project.  See you all soon!
