Originally, there was going to be quite a bit of swearing in it, however when I turned to the bim community for voice actors, I knew a few people wouldn't be too fond of my choice of words so I dumbed it down considerably. Having it reserved to only a few 'damn's.

Also, Yuka is a character who probably won't swear at all, from the small choice of words there is, due to his personality type, so this character may suit you.]]></content>

Hello there, people of the bricksinmotion community and I am looking for voice actors for my new series called Metal Brigade. (As you've probably figured out already)

Metal Brigade is a series, mildly inspired by different type of anime. (like evangelion, Attack on Titan etc.)
The basic plot is this: strange creatures that go by the name of 'Jinen' (pronounced 'gee-nin') have invaded the planet of clouds known as Tori, and the inhabitants of the planet create giant robot mechs to combat the creatures and prevent them from overtaking their home planet. It may sound very simplistic, and you may assume off the bat that the characters will be phoned in and cheesy but I can assure you the story and the characters shall get more complex as the series progresses.

I plan to explore major conspiracies, the different back stories of the four main characters and various different psychological theories.

It may sound a bit ambitious, but, we'll see how it turns out.

Anyway, that's enough yammering about the series, it's time to get onto the casting:

PLEASE NOTE THAT YUKA, ALAN AND TOMAS DONT HAVE A NUMBER OF LINES AS THEY ARENT IN THE FIRST EPISODE. HOWEVER THEY SHALL BE INTRODUCED IN THE SECOND EPISODE AND WILL BE MAJOR CHARACTERS DURING THE REST OF THE SERIES


The main protagonists
The Team of four:

[b]TAKEN[/b]
[b]Sukotto[/b]: The main character of the series. He is brash and arrogant and genuinely doesn't care for much other than himself, but he is strong and brave. The reason for his selfishness is due to a certain ideology that he follows like a religion.
[b]VOICED BY: Me... Yeah[/b]
(56 lines)

(7 out of 7 episodes)

[b]Tomas[/b]: is a character that you just generally have to like, he's kind, caring, a joker. He's ultimately the nicest person on the team of four. But he has a secret. One very dark secret.
Voice requirements: 
•Must sound like he's constantly in high spirits
•He's young, but his voice is deep and mature. It's as if he were already an adult
•His age is approximately 18 years old 
Test line: Hey, come on now ya' fools. Answer the question, otherwise I'll give you a spankin'
(6 out of 7 episodes)



[b]Alan[/b]: Is in many ways similar to Sukotto. He is skilled in piloting Xenotitans, is arrogant and incredibly brash. He also has a sense of pride, but not as desperate as Sukotto, but he is a bit more caring and light-hearted. However he does have a psychotic level to his personality due to the Jinen's actions in the past.
Voice requirements:
•Must have a sense of cockiness in his voice 
•Should have a sort of grit in his voice. (E.g take a look at solid snake's voice in the Metal gear solid video game series)
•His approximate age is 16 years old

Test line: Am I excited to be in a team? If it'll help get rid of the Jinen after so long. Then I am excited. Wholly.

(6 out of 7 episodes)


[b]TAKEN[/b]
[b]Yuka[/b]: Is a quiet character, relatively shy and the youngest out of the team. It's as if he's trapped in his own bubble, letting nobody in. 
[b]VOICED BY: HoldingOurOwn[/b]

(6 out of 7 episodes)

Other roles that are required to get editing for the first episode underway:


[b]Commander Kai[/b]: Is your formal military commander that takes no nonsense from anyone. His personality is rough around the edges, but he always has his heart in the right place.
•His voice must be very loud and assertive. 
•His age is approximately 55 years old
(29 lines)

Test line: ah, no. Settle down, shut your faces, quit whining and start training.

(4 out of 7 episodes)


[b]TAKEN[/b]
[b]The Elder[/b]: Is the leader of the fourth city. He is quite possibly the most mysterious character out of the series. No one knows anything about him. His opinions, his hobbies nothing. He's a complete mystery.
• for voicing you can give any voice you like BUT you must try and give a mysterious element to his voice, without making him sound over the top.
(6 lines)
[b]VOICED BY: Jay Silver[/b]


(5 out of 7 episodes)



[b]Trainer Campbell[/b]: the man over seeing Sukotto's training. 
•You can do any voice for the Trainer
(5 lines)

(3 out of 7 episodes)


[b]TAKEN[/b]
[b]Preacher[/b]: a man preaching about his fake religion
•As long as your voice sounds pretty silly, it'll be fine. (1 line)
[b]VOICED BY: Jay Silver[/b]



[b]Beggar[/b]: a young boy who needs money to pay for his father's medicine
•give the voice of a young boy who's possibly 13 or 14 years old 
(2 lines)

Test line: Um... Excuse me, can you spare some change?

If you feel you could add on more to your audition other than the test line given to you, please feel free to do so, if you will.

To send your auditions, (if you can be Bothered) send it as an attachment to this email address: scottsherrard@hotmail.co.uk
