My name is Evan Stewart, and I’m a senior Animation student at UNM working on my capstone project. My team’s project is titled Public Relations:
“The lowest performing public relations manager of the Adams PR Firm, Owen, is assigned a redneck comedian, Rhett, whose career is seemingly ruined after being canceled for making offensive remarks. Owen must keep Rhett in check as they work together to survive a charity event and revive their careers despite their hatred for one another.”
With production underway, we are currently casting voice actors for several key roles. We’re looking for enthusiastic performers to bring life to the following characters:
Owen (20-30 y/o): A professional, straight-laced PR manager struggling with his career. Mid-range male voice
Abigail (20-30 y/o): A confident and successful young news anchor, Owen’s ex-girlfriend. Mid-to-high-range female voice.
Newscaster (30-40 y/o): Abigail’s co-anchor, a handsome gentleman with a dull personality. A deep, polished male voice with typical “news anchor” delivery.
Journalist (20-35 y/o): A suspicious and sneaky journalist who observes Owen and Rhett to gather dirt. Mid-range male voice, slightly nasal.
Male Conference Attendee (20-35 y/o): A snobby individual who insults Rhett at the event. Deep, pompous, and slightly condescending male voice.
Bartender (20+ y/o): A dry, pretentious bartender at the conference center. Dry, mid-range, pretentious, and formal in tone.
Judge Ellis (45-60 y/o): An older woman judge insulted by Rhett at the event. Mature female voice with authority.
Background Characters: Potential minor roles, like other conference attendees or background voices at the event.
The project will be active from this semester until the end of Spring 2025. Participating will not only give you experience in voice acting for animation but will also help build your portfolio and network within the industry.
