Set in a fantasy world, a young warrior sets out on an adventure to solve a dark mystery, as he faces his doubts and rises to become a powerful A’TAKA Knight.
All talent must be 18yrs or older to submit.
PERFORMANCE DIRECTIONS: All voices should sound REAL and GROUNDED in reality. No cartoon voices. Trust the natural qualities of your voice, and speak with authenticity and sincerity. The voices of the actors should ground the animation in genuine humanity. For round 1 of auditions, all actors in the same age-range will be reading the same 3 scenes to help us get a feel for your natural vocal signature, and the dynamics within your voice. – For callbacks we will be using character-specific sides.
Record each scene separately and attach as 3 separate Mp3 audio files. Put the scene
number at the end of each file name:
NAME_ROLE_FAD_SC1
NAME_ROLE_FAD_SC2
NAME_ROLE_FAD_SC3
Please see breakdown for character specifics. But as a general rule: Actors who sound approximately 18-24, read “SIDES_YOUNG ADULT” (Sides below)
Actors who sound more mature, read “SIDES_MATURE ADULTS” (Sides below)
Roles & Sides: See sides below for breakdowns, corresponding sides, and rates.
Recording: July, near Charlottesville, VA. Exact dates TBD.

Confident, charismatic, and good-natured. Effortlessly likable. Determined – but not brash
sounding.
A young knight-in-training, determined to become an elite A’Taka warrior, but finds himself
coming up short. Relentless in his goals, and exceedingly loyal to his friends. A little Peter
Parker-esque.
(Note: while not a requirement for the roles, we would love to cast “in-real-life” best/good friends
to play Kuro and Kyuzo, because it would bring that natural “best-friends chemistry” to the story.
Grab a friend and submit together!)
Sarcastic (endearingly). Charming, confident, and kind. Lighthearted, but serious when
necessary.
Leader of the A’Taka knights and Kuro’s best friend/mentor. Fights for his kingdom to succeed,
and is driven by the success of those around him: a great leader.
(Note: while not a requirement for the roles, we would love to cast “in-real-life” best/good friends
to play Kuro and Kyuzo, because it would bring that natural “best-friends chemistry” to the story.

Very charismatic and charming. Slightly lower to mid-range vocal tone; a smooth voice. Kind,
upbeat and heartfelt.
A young pilot trying to cure her Jungle home which has been corrupted by dark magic.
Strong and kind. Soft yet confident tone. Thoughtful and considerate. He’s a good friend you’d
want to have a deep conversation with.
An undefeated underground ring fighter. Somewhat hardened by his time in the ring, but retains
a heart of gold. Connected deeply to his moral compass, he will do the right thing above all.
Bold and talkative. Snappy and to the point. Happy, and incredibly charismatic. Someone you’d
love to get a drink with. He’s a lot of fun but serious and passionate about his goals when
needed. – Has a hybrid Jersey/Bostonian accent (somewhat of a character voice). Someone
with one of those accents natively is preferable, though.
Leader of a desert rebellion, alongside his crew of bandits. Once a criminal, but now motivated
by stopping a secret corruption, determined to bring justice to the town of Atsuki.

ALL ROLES IN THIS SECTION SHOULD READ FOR “MATURE ADULT” SIDES BELOW.
Iko — male. (50’s-60’s)
Intelligent but down-to-earth. Moments of great intensity in this character, balanced by
thoughtfulness and intelligence that are endearing and measured. (a voice reference: Patrick Fabian in Better Call Saul).
Second-in-command of the kingdom of Katari, and the creator of the A’Taka, and mentor to the
young warriors. For the most part, kind and genuinely cares about the A’Taka.
Master Shujo — male. Older (60’s-70’s)
A bit gruff and cynical, but holds tremendous respect for the A’Taka and the traditional way of
the sword. He’s a master sword crafter.
Maisho — Male. Late 70s/80s.
Steady voice. Evokes a feeling of stability, peace and clarity. (a voice reference: Mako in Avatar:
The Last Airbender)
Maisho is the spirit of an ancient master, residing in a dream-like past version of the kingdom he
grew up in.
King Mosu – male. Adult. (30s-40s.)
A smooth talker, very persuasive and engaging.
The ruler of a desert kingdom, who comes across as genuine, kind and just, but is actually
conniving and corrupt.
Queen Lani — female. Adult (mid-late 30’s)
Firm and strong, yet also kind and considerate. She holds composure but is also much warmer
than may be expected. Her vocal tone should be very smooth.
Queen Lani is the ruler of Katari.
King Nokano — male. Mature adult (mid 40’s)
A bit cocky and stubborn, but also thoughtful and measured when necessary. A fatherly,
somewhat straight-arrow vocal tone.
King Nokano is the ruler of the kingdom of Irmitar.
Ukai — male. Mature adult (early 50’s)
Warm, kind, and a bit weathered. (a voice reference: Carl Weathers in The Mandalorian)
The last remaining original A’Taka knight who is soon retiring.
General Fumi — male (mid 30’s)
Not very nice; a bit of a brute.
Leader of the “Rukotel” knights clan, his main goal is mission success.
Warlord Fukimo — male (30’s-50’s)
Cold, calculating and ill-tempered. He’s a war strategist trying to help win the war for Irmitar.
Warlord Masato — male. (30’s-50’s)
Cold, calculating and ill-tempered, but more of a smart conversation dominator, who the king
favors at a higher level.
He’s a war strategist trying to help win the war for Irmitar.
MATURE ADULT SIDES
SIDE 1 – LIGHTHEARTED
Read for CHARACTER 1, with the focus being to show a somewhat
charismatic, lighthearted side of your voice.
TWO CHARACTERS are leaning on the railing of a balcony, overlooking a
beautiful sunset vista of the kingdom.
CHARACTER 1: (smiling) It was good to see you
again… I guess this is it for a while.
CHARACTER 2: Guess it is.
CHARACTER 1: You’re gonna take good care of this
place while I’m away, right?
CHARACTER 2: (peacefully) I’ll do my best.
SIDE 2 – EMOTION
Read for CHARACTER 2, with the focus being on EMOTIONAL RANGE and
INTENSITY.
TWO CHARACTERS are standing off, swords drawn, ready to fight.
Character 2 is hidden behind a mask…
CHARACTER 1: Who are you?
CHARACTER 2: Who am I? I’m the war necessary to
bring the peace. I’m the vengeance around every
corner, the shadow whose weapon is a swift and
deadly sword. The justice that this world needs.
I’m fixing the world, and no one… NO ONE–
(breath shaky)–is gonna stand in my way.
SIDE 3 – BASELINE/SERIOUS
Read for CHARACTER 1, with the focus being on giving a steady and
measured performance. Speak with conviction but not overstatedly.
This is the end of a monologue about the origins of the A’Taka
knights, the most powerful group of warriors in the world.
CHARACTER 1: But such raw power required
protectors. That’s when the A’Taka were born. The
A’Taka — 12 Warriors devoted to fighting for
truth, peace and justice, keeping the world safe
for those within it. So when you fight, you fight
with honor. When you use the powers you’ve been
given, use them with dignity — because you’re
the protectors of the world. What would we do
without you?
