Fair Trade Trailer Animation
The L2D animated trailer for Fair Trade is almost ready. Last thing it needs is your voice! It's comprised of some lines from Book 1. This is an unpaid project unfortunately as I have no income. It'll just be a thing on my YouTube channel which is little and not monetized.
Adult Gender Neutral
Meigui Xueye
Xueye is a very soft, kindhearted man with a lot of misfortune and trauma in his past that very much haunts him. He is the heir to the Meigui Trading Company and should have inherited it some time ago but his greedy father refuses to hand the company over.
Looking for an airy and gentle voice. He's very gender neutral, kind of a femboy.
A: (gentle and loving) Aren’t you the one who always wants me to voice my desires? Take your own advice.
B: (wistful and a little sad) Well one thing my mother always used to tell me is to live life where my heart feels full. I’ve left it empty for so long.
C: (a little smug) I’m acquiring stock for the Brightness Festival early, is that really such a problem?
Adult Masculine
Buxiu Yushi
The Emperor’s face has rarely been seen by the general public, thus he’s able to sneak out of the palace quite often and experience life as a normal person. He’s normally calm and rational and knowledgeable about much. However his draconic blood often makes him irritable and over protective of those he cares about, often making him emotional when it affects him.
Looking for a deeper masculine voice.
A: (a little cocky) Honestly, when have I ever been anything but meticulous in crushing an opponent?
​
B: (low and flirty) I’ll gladly help you find your desires.
C: (barely contained anger) Keep your eyes closed until I say. I don’t want you to see what I’m about to do to these bastards.
Adult Feminine
Guangming Shizhe
Shizhe is a sweet and bubbly fortune teller of extraordinary talent. She can get quite feisty when she’s upset about something or someone mistreats those she cares for. Often in public or doing business she will put on the impression of a prim and proper lady of the court but with those she’s close to she will just be herself and drop formalities. Shizhe often carries the weight of the future on her shoulders as she tries to keep everyone safe.
Looking for a higher feminine voice but not extremely so.
A: (fond) We have to treasure that one!
B: (very cheery) Good! Now that that’s settled, this is momentous and I feel we should continue this over lunch, Come along!
C: (mystical) Snow dusts the mountain, there is warmth amidst the cold, sound is eaten whole.
Adult Feminine
Shanfeng Yuliang
A very straightforward stern woman in charge of law and acts as a judge for major cases. She’s immensely clever and can almost always determine the guilty at a single glance of the case. She often mumbles about how unfair things can be especially to Riluo or Shizhe. While she comes across as stern when she’s around those she cares for she is quite soft and always willing to give advice.
Looking for a lower feminine voice.
A: (mildly annoyed) Unfair… I’ll look everything over later. His Highness wants this dealt with quickly I assume.
​
B: (curious) I truly wonder how this young man seems to have bewitched you all in such a short time.
C: (stern) It was necessary. It keeps the innocent out of trouble from those looking to abuse authority.
Adult Masculine
Qiuji Riluo
Riluo is Yushi’s most loyal attendant, essentially his right hand man. He’s diligent and clever. Able to find any information Yushi might require. When it comes to work he’s quite serious and often ends up exhausted with a tendency to overwork himself. Outside of work he’s very sweet and always wants to help. As a close friend to Yushi he tends to tease him quite often. He is very silent when he moves, often able to sneak up on even Yushi with his enhanced senses.
Looking for a masculine voice somewhere between mid and low range. Like it's kinda deep but not too deep.
A: (tentative) Your Highness, I know what you are thinking and I don’t know if that’s a good idea…
B: (impressed) I see. This will be much more beneficial if he handles it than if we arranged it.
C: (frustrated) Now of all times they decided to arrive early. They weren't supposed to arrive until next week…
Adult Masculine
Meigui Hanleng
A pretentious cold man, he married into the Meigui family for the name and fortune that came with it. He married into the Meigui Family taking the family name so that he had potential claim to the company. He’s a shrewd business man that comes across as rather magnanimous to the public but is a rather despicable man willing to cut corners or make shady deals. Hanleng despises Xueye, thinking his unique appearance makes him cursed. Often he tends to take out his frustrations on Xueye.
Looking for a masculine voice. Honestly not sure what to tell you to aim for range wise. He's entitled af so give me that rich man that's rather villainous type vibe.
A: (angry) What is this about you stealing my information broker?
B: (angry) You think this amount of manpower grows on trees? Why do you even need this many guards?
C: (courteous) My Lady, what brings you to our humble little company today?
Adult Feminine
Korina Styliani
A scheming young lady of the Elian Royal family. She has no direct royal claim being a cousin of the main family. She wants nothing more than to marry someone from the Empire in hopes of trying to gain power and influence. She comes across as warm and gentle but is wickedly cruel and selfish.
Looking for a feminine voice. I'm not very picky on pitch or range for her strangely enough, but she a typical villainess type.
A: (bitter) I’m fine! I wasn’t aware he had someone he’s interested in. How could we? After all this time? (angry) I want to know who it is.
B: (very passive aggressive) I imagine it must have been quite difficult for you to land a husband with that attitude of yours.
C: (cheerful deduction) Being at the palace a handful of days now I’ve noticed I haven’t even seen His Highness in passing. I’m starting to wonder, is he even in the palace at all?
Adult Masculine
Emilios Styliani
Twin brother to Korina, usually acts as her knight but is very much a part of her schemes. He’s very loyal to her despite all her wrong doings. He’s usually quiet but gets very passionate when trying to defend his sister.
Looking for a masculine voice that's more mid range but feel free to try tilting it one way or another. This is another one I'm not too picky about.
A: (bitter) Did it ever occur to you that she genuinely has fallen for you?
B: (upset) You’d really start a war over something like this?!
C: (serious) If we haven’t known until now then how are we to discover them?
Adult Masculine
Jinse
Jinse is a fox divine beast with a pension for mischief but it’s more in good fun rather than harmful intentions. On the surface he’s usually a shameless flirt and overly confident, however when it boils down to it, he’s very sweet and helpful to Xueye and those that matter to Xueye. He’s very much in love with Xueye. He’s been secretly a guardian to the Meigui family for generations.
Looking for a masculine voice that's a little lower range but not too deep.
A: (confident) You mean I’m also devilishly handsome and charming too, don’t you?
B: (charming) My door is always open for you. I relish any time I get to spend with you.
C: (angry) To teach him and his ilk a lesson to not touch what is mine!
