Anatomy 1963 is a currently ongoing cinematic Alternate Reality Game. It has a main story told through the “Film” uploads which are framed as a restored lost feature film from the 60s, and a side story told through second channel uploads about the film’s production. It is a long-term project that involves many characters and interwoven plotlines. It's already been in production for around 1½ years now. Currently, the film has 2/8(?) parts completed, and has a team of a few voice actors already but we need more! New characters are being introduced that need voices, so if you're enjoying the project So far, here's your chance to be a part of it!
The main story of the film follows Margret, a seamstress who's life is thrown into disarray after she reveals a personal secret to her partner. In a world where the living and the dead coexist, Margret is hopelessly lost between the two. If you haven't already, it is HIGHLY ENCOURAGED that you watch PART 1 of the project before you audition so you know what you're getting into.

After a month of work, delays, and other nonsense, I am in the final stages of the casting process. Within the next 2 weeks, you will hear back from me on whether you got the part or not. THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE!!
Very quick update! I have listened through all 134 of the auditions, and it is taking a very long time for me to decide on the cast. This combined with the fact that I am dealing with a very busy schedule in my real life means that I will not be able to send out the cast announcements until late April or early May. Apologies for the time delay but I am still working on this!!
Thank you for understanding,

This role is sort of a dual character: Nora is the actress who plays the mysterious ghostly angel within the film. She has voice lines within the movie as this Angel character and in the hidden ARG videos as herself. Hopefully this isn't too confusing!!
There is already a video on the second channel that uses sampled audio for The Angel’s voice lines.
Watch HERE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RS0wWRXMlV8
You do NOT need to sound exactly like her voice here, especially because she speaks in English for the rest of the film. However, it's a great reference for what the Angel character's general vibe is.
As for Nora, she's cynical about the Film production as a whole. She has a sweeter side to her, but is mostly guarded around other people. She's passionate about her career as an actress.
(THE ANGEL)Who is it that you’re afraid of?
(THE ANGEL)This is your final chance. If you fail, you will continue to suffer forever.
(NORA) This set's being run like a circus. I swear if he changes the script again— I don't know what I'll do.
Milo is the director of the film. His wife, Cordelia, wrote the book that the film is based on, but died tragically in a car accident. As a result, he's in a very emotionally complex situation. He's tasked with properly adapting her story, and making sense of what she wrote. He's deliberate and professional most of the time, keeping it together for the sake of the cast. However he's prone to the occasional outburst.
Though I casted this part in 2023, I am recasting this role due to re-writes. if you have previously auditioned for this role in that time, feel free to audition again! A lot has changed with this project since 2023 and I'm open to hearing you audition again. Apologies for any confusion.
Alright- we're doing this again from the top.
Are you even listening to the words I'm saying? We don’t have a lot of time here!
This film means everything to me. It has to exist, there’s no question in my mind about it.
A writer and community theater actress. Cordelia is a quiet introspective soul. There's a lot we still don't know about her. She's Milo's deceased wife, so she only appears in archival video and flashbacks.
There is a video on the second channel featuring her as well, but the audio comes from a pre-existing film. Watch HERE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m2llakkBkHc
Much like Nora, you do NOT need to sound like her here, but it’s a good reference for character and personality.
There's a river out by the woods behind that old church. We should go some time. Watch the birds.
I'm just not feeling well, that's all. It's nothing.
Featured solely on the second channel. Damon is a charismatic preacher type character living on the outskirts of Hollywood in the late 70s. Founder of his own organization. Manipulative and not to be trusted. Gives a lot of speeches and monologues.
Everything I've done here is for the spiritual benefit of the community.
They too had their doubts. Shame on them for being so short-sighted.
This is who we are, all of us! To even think of questioning that-who does he think he is?
Very important role to the story. Eccentric female director and TV personality from the 1970's. Speaks in a southern/western accent, has the whimsical persona of being an outlaw from the wild west. Deeply passionate about the art and craft of filmmaking. (Has glasses that resemble old fashioned camera film reels)
Though I casted this part in 2023, I am recasting this role due to re-writes. if you have previously auditioned for this role in that time, feel free to audition again! A lot has changed with this project since 2023 and I'm open to hearing you audition again. Apologies for any confusion.
With determination, self assurance, and a whole lotta imagination, you can make a masterpiece and be a genius like me.
With my glasses, I can see colors that are invisible to the human eye. That's why nobody can shoot a movie like I can!
This might be the most important motion picture in the history of cinema! No one can stop me from making my art.
