Voice over update

For the reporter voice over in my trailer I have asked people on social networks and my friends to give me voice samples so I can compare them and find which seems more realistic and professional. I am asking both male and females and will try to get some audience feedback to find narrow down the voices and help me find the voice I will use.

I received 11 recordings and have used friends and family to find which sound most realistic and most like a news reporter. I have narrowed it down to 2 recordings. Below is a survey to help find the one i will be using in my trailer. Create your own user feedback survey



After collecting multiple responses and looking at the results i have decided to use recording 2 that is where the majority vote is.

Character Backstory

Lily Potter:  A 20 year old girl that for the past year has been forced deal with her parents and little brothers death. Her ways of dealing with their deaths consisted of shutting down everyone else in her life until she heard on the radio about a drug trial for a possible cure and jumped at the opportunity to help those like her.

Casting Update

As i have yet to receive a response on star now for my actors i have chosen to cast my friends. As their schedules match up with mine and are in the 16-23 age range my target audience prefer.

For the female character (yet to be named) i have chosen to cast Lily Potter.

She is 18 years old so is perfect for the cast age my audience like.

I have chosen to cast Harley Golder as the Doctor.

He is 17 years old so he also fits in the cast age range.

As he is only 17 and doctors are usually 25+ it may be a problem. But to over come this i will keep from showing his face with either keeping it out of the shot or wearing a surgical mask.

Casting

As my production is live action i will need to cast actors to play my characters. From my survey i found that my audience would like a cast made up of teenagers aged 16-23 or a mixed age cast. I have 2 choices with my cast i can either use class mates and hire internally or i can hire externally using casting sites such as StarNow or CastNet.

If i were to hire externally it would allow me to have a mixed cast and possibly more experienced and professional actors, this would be my first choice is casting but if i can not find suitable actors that are available at the right times i will use my classmates as they are easier to communicate with and are more likely to have schedules similar to mine.

I have posted a listing on star now to find my actors
