Ever since summer when I developed the idea for the animation I always had Lawrence Simpson in mind for the roles. I remember on the alumni days his amazing reels and demonstration for voice acting and his element of fun in them really pushed me to want him for my characters. I was like 'Tom we NEED to get him for our animation!' so when Rosie and Kathleen suggested him as a possible voice actor in the presentations I was like 'Yes - exactly what I've been thinking!' So naturally, right away we composed an email to send to him, enquiring if he was interested. 

I composed a synopsis and some, brief personality traits of each character to give to Tom to include in the email, as well as a quick description of who we were and what we were doing (obviously name dropping DFSA ;) ). 

Luckily Lawrence got back to us, saying he was interested in helping with the project - exciting news! We are currently keeping him up to date with all of the progress of the project and asking him for any feedback he wishes to give as I find it very important that everyone involved has their own creative input. I am really looking forward to hearing his interpretations of the characters, once they've been developed more!
