CASTING CALL – VOICE ACTOR – SHORT SCI-FI FILM

Description

PRODUCTION
Walk the Dark

A psychological sci-fi short film currently in post-production and heading to film festivals this summer.

LOOKING FOR
THERABOT
Female voice actor
Vocal range: 50s–70s

ROLE DETAILS
TheraBot is an AI therapy app created by the fictional mega-corporation LUMA in a near-future London where technology has replaced human connection.

Kai, the protagonist, has configured the app to speak with a voice that mimics his late mother.

Warm, soft-spoken, patient and compassionate. A maternal presence that feels comforting, yet subtly artificial beneath the surface.

VOICE REQUIREMENTS
• Female, mature vocal quality (50s–70s)
• Soft-spoken and unhurried
• Motherly, warm and sincere
• Compassionate rather than clinical
• Ability to deliver emotional depth with restraint

REFERENCE
Think Aunt May from the Sam Raimi Spider-Man films.

VOICE DIRECTION
The uncanny quality comes from the context rather than the performance. Play the role completely sincerely, aside from a few specific moments.

IDEAL PERFORMER
A voice actor capable of delivering warmth, patience and emotional authenticity without sounding overtly performative.
