A Sapphic Swashbuckling Whodunnit: The Mutiny of Keely Hall
Project Overview
The Mutiny of Keely Hall: A Sapphic Swashbuckling Whodunnit is an upcoming steampunk audio drama podcast about two private detective ex-wives.
Our team previously produced "Real-Time Fandub" and "Mystery Shack Lookback", and are ready to create a world of our own.
And it needs to be MUCH gayer than the Disney properties we've been analyzing in our previous work. That's what our transgender Sapphic souls need.
Plus, there's a talking skeleton for the kids!
We have always been a comedy team by nature, and are looking for two very funny people to voice our leading ladies!
Are YOU gay and funny?
This is for a pilot we intend to use to advertise a crowdfunding campaign.
The $100 listed would be to voice the pilot.
We want to pay you what you're worth! If you're cast we would love to discuss your ideal rate for the rest of the project, should it receive funding.

Steampunk Tinkerer Detective
5’2
26 years old
Bisexual
Smutty self-insert shipper
She is far too pedantic, “Accuracy over tact!”
Hyperactive gremlin voice, soprano/higher register but in a fairy/pixie way.
The Nerd. A manic pixie dream girl. So much energy, so much caffeine, so much AuDHD.
UK or Ireland-born talent is highly encouraged, but willing to hear other dialects. Use your natural accent or one you’re comfortable maintaining.
Entrapta if she was a character in Alice In Wonderland.
The sass/poshness of Jane from Disney’s Tarzan. The timbre of Moaning Myrtle (but fuck Harry Potter, maybe open that one incognito before the algorithm starts recommending other stuff made by Nazis)- english

Pardon me, sirs, but all I have ascertained is that YOU have never read the books, as everyone knows that Bradley Wainwright did not receive his signature ascot until the third novel, The Dastardly Dinner Theater Debacle, as a gift from his Uncle Trolleyham. While his neckwear was left vague in his first adventure A Research In Rouge, the knot he is described tying in the mirror in Chapter 10 is almost certainly “the butterfly”, which would hardly make sense for an ascot, cravat, jabot, necktie, or any other—
(sheepishly, as if brushing her hair behind her ear) Well, actually, I do enjoy some dashing female protagonists too. (even quieter, shy af) … I like anyone who looks good in a suit.
Look, I know we agreed to keep our business operational even after our… separation, but I’m beginning to wonder if that’s feasible. We’re starved for clients as it is, and who wants two private EYES that don’t work together? Think of the optometry bills!
Victorian Gentleman Detective

Lesbian
Lydia grew up insecure with exclusively masculine role models. But her history is not relevant to anyone she meets from this point forward. She has reinvented herself with the traits of a fictional masculine detective who no one is actually like in real life. Is she any good at this masc mask? Not really! She is still a very insecure, whiny, and cowardly goofball, and bad at hiding it. Don’t tell her you noticed! One might assume Winklynn is the weird one. Don’t let your ex-wife win this.
As we see more of Lydia's mask slip throughout the show, I want it to be clear: Lydia is the weird one, Winklynn is in second and not close second, on lap ⅓. Winklynn is a normal human nerd, Lydia is Scooby-Doo in sunglasses and a fedora trying to make Shaggy laugh by acting like a badass.
She's not the Jessica Rabbit of the group; she's the Eddie Valiant
She has a deep voice. Deeper voice than you’re used to a woman having. She is a sarcastic asshole through and through, but tries to make her snark sound cool and chill. (She might not succeed, and might come across grumpy). No particular accent in mind. Use your natural accent, or one you’re comfortable maintaining.

C’mon, I’ll give you a boost. It’s the least I could do after you saved me from those chumps. Though I should probably learn your name if you're about to start straddling my neck. I'm Lydia. (grunts) Loosen your legs a touch though, don't want you to choke me. Good thing I’m not a dashing male protagonist, or you might enjoy that.
… Well now I gotta check without the trademarked Ubwerks filter of whimsical delusion… (beat) (terrified) You know, I like to think of myself as someone who can admit when she's wrong. That's a walking pirate skeleton.
Look Bones, 9 times out of 10, the killer is whoever has the most to gain from the Mutiny. You’ve got a first mate who's being crowned Captain right about now. Done, fork over the dough.

THIS IS NOT A REQUIREMENT TO GETTING CAST. Just a bonus you have the option of throwing in.
Because the chemistry between the characters is the heart and soul of The Mutiny of Keely Hall, the two leading ladies will be expected to record together in a call where they can play off each other.
If you have a friend or frequent collaborator auditioning for the other role, I would love to hear how you play off each other.
Please record the following together in a call.
LYDIA: I’m not exactly flush with cash here. You might’ve noticed we haven’t had a case in months.
WINKLYNN: I insisted that we could have just hired ONE divorce lawyer. Representation for each party is unnecessary!
LYDIA: I told you I'm pretty sure it doesn't work that way!

LYDIA: A writer, ha! Shot in the dark, but... I'm guessing you write mystery stories?
WINKLYNN: (getting flustered again) Oh, ah, not really. I mean, Bradley Wainwright IS in there. 😳 But so am I and well we— 😏 🥰
LYDIA: UHHH, Let’s just call you a “romance novelist” and spare the details, haha.
