Topic: Casting call - The Sumerian Chronicles

I'm making a brickfilm for school called The Sumerian Chronicles about the life stories of the ancient Sumerian king Ur-Nammu and his son, Shulgi.  It's a really important project for my semester, so it would be great if someone could voice the characters.  If anyone is interested, just make a recording of a test line and send it to me at: [email protected] 

Characters:

Prince Shulgi (Shool-ghy)
Description: A young and arrogant prince
Age: around 20
Test line: You're the one who killed my father.  Prepare to die by my blade.

King Ur-Nammu (Er-Nahmoo)
Description: A wise king
Age: around 40
Test line:  In these tough times, Sumer needs a leader.

Kurum (Koo-room)
Description: A cruel king
Age: around 35
Test line: The enemy believes they are victorious.

Turtan
Description: Commander of the Assyrian army
Age: around 30
Test line: My name will not be dishonoured by a mere runt like you.

Archaeologist 1
Description: (male) an archaeologist
Age: 30
Test line: I believe that is my area of expertise.

Archaeologist 2
Description: (female) and archaeologist
Age: 30
Test line: So, I hear that you're an expert in ancient languages?

Other characters (minor parts)

Utu (Oo-too)
Description: royal vizier
Age: around 45
Test line: I suggest we hold the event earlier this year.

Sumerian officer
Description: high-ranking soldier
Age: around 25
Test line: The Gutians have been defeated!

Gutian soldier (Goo-tee-an)
Description: Gutian footsoldier
Age: around 20
Test line: Hey!

OK...I guess I'll get the ball rolling. mini/confused
And Leongtnt, keep an eye out for my auditions.

Re: Casting call - The Sumerian Chronicles

Thanks for stepping up! mini/smile  I managed to record all the main parts already except for Turtan, Archaeologist 1, and Utu, where I'm still kind of stuck.  If you're up to it, I could private message you the script for those parts.

Re: Casting call - The Sumerian Chronicles

I could give some of them a try too, if you like. I'm quite interested in the history of Mesopatamia, so if you want help with anything else (backdrops of Sumerian structures and the like-) don't hesitate to ask.

Re: Casting call - The Sumerian Chronicles

Sounds great!  I'll send you the script in a second (remaining parts are Utu, Turtan, and archaeologist 1). 

I'm really pressed for time, so I'll take as many contributions as soon as possible.
