URGENT 🎬 Casting Call: Voice Actors for a Historical Animated Short 🎬
We’re bringing the story of Hærvejen to life with a unique animated documentary, and we’re looking for Danish voice actors to help us tell it! This project will feature powerful monologues that transport viewers through centuries of Danish history, from the Bronze Age to the Viking era and beyond.
About the Roles:
We’re seeking voice actors who can capture both the emotional depth and subtle regional nuances of each character’s story. Each monologue lasts around 2 minutes and is written in standard Danish, with a light regional touch (German for Helga and Thorulv , Midtjysk or Nordjysk for the Studedriver) to reflect each character’s origins.
Fluency in written and spoken Danish is a must.
Production Details:
🎬 Production: Animated Short on Hærvejen
📅 Recording Dates: 23 Nov - 1 Dec, 2024
📆 Deadline: 16 Nov, 2024
📍 Location: Odense or remote recording (if applicable)
💸 Compensation: Competitive hourly rates + covered transportation and meals
Roles We’re Casting:
1. Helga (Bronze Age) – A 16-year-old girl on a journey north for marriage, searching for hope after a recent family tragedy.
2. Thorulv (Viking Age) – An 18-year-old merchant’s son on his first trading trip, balancing excitement and responsibility.
3. Studedriver (1752) – A weathered cattle driver, frustrated with the harsh realities of his labor.
Why Join Us?
As a voice actor on this project, you’ll be part of a production that not only tells stories from Danish history but also weaves in the authenticity of regional accents to bring our animated characters closer to life. We’re also taking reference photos to help our animators capture body language and facial expressions, ensuring your unique presence shapes each character’s on-screen persona.

To apply, please send me a DM with a link to:
1. A short voice sample in standard Danish with a light regional tone.
