Very good initiative! Voicing are the most difficult and expensive part to get when producing an animation. All the best!
Hello, Manuel! Thank you for the supporting words! But I am afraid that some people here wouldn’t agree that voicing is the MOST difficult/expensive part of animation production. Though, I agree it plays significant role! ^__^
Good evening, I’m interest in your voice contest,unfortunately I received this notification too late. It’s possible that I can still send my test readings for this contest ? If not, I would like to know if there is another voicing contest coming soon
Hello Diego! Unfortunately, we do not accept more submissions to this contest. And we do not have more contests planned yet, If you wish, I can add you to our “voicing list”, so you will get email notifications about any future voicing activities. Also, we have published a free fan-dub pack for Morevna animated short, so you can produce your own English voicing for it – https://morevnaproject.org/2016/08/22/call-for-fandub/
