Seeking Voice Actors

10/14/2020

 
Title
Santa Clarita

Director/Producer
Lynn Fong

NYU Affiliation
Undergraduate

Needs
Voice actors for 6 roles:
  • RAE - Rae is a quiet, nerdy 13 year-old in 8th grade who’s struggling with her sexually abusive older brother and conservative Chinese-American parents. After a visit to a psychic, Rae starts seeing a demon in her dreams: a mysterious, shape-shifting creature who won’t answer the many questions she has about its existence.
  • AURORA - Aurora is Rae's best friend and neighbor. The two have been friends since elementary school and are basically inseparable. Aurora is Mexican-American, 14 years old, and also in 8th grade. She is more outgoing than Rae and loves to draw. Aurora is trans and has been presenting as a girl since the 6th grade.
  • JOHNATHAN - Johnathan is Rae's older brother. He is 23 years old and recently graduated from Harvard. He is living at home while studying to enter medical school. John resents being home and having to help out at his father's pharmacy, but puts up a charming facade to fit into his conservative Chinese-American family.
  • PSYCHIC -  The psychic that Rae's mom takes her to visit. She uses concepts from Chinese spirituality in her practice and diagnoses Rae with demonic possession.
  • SARAH-  Rae and Johnathan's mother, and a first-generation Chinese American. A conservative and dutiful woman, Sarah takes pride in her family's appearance and reputation. She is immensely proud of Johnathan's Ivy League education and his passion for medicine. Sarah works hard to support her family as a stay-at-home mom and tries to keep Rae's behavior in line though she doesn't always understand Rae.
  • MARK - Rae and Johnathan's dad. Mark is a conservative first-generation Chinese American man and patriarch of his household. He owns a pharmacy. Mark is not very involved in his children's lives, but is very proud of his son following in his footsteps to study medicine, and feels that he is guiding Johnathan on this path.

Between middle school, her conservative Chinese-American parents, and her sexually abusive older brother, she’s struggling to hold it all inside.
