Beneath The Cosmic Waves - Sci Fi Audio Drama

Project Overview

(This video is from our GoFundMe, which is where our budget is coming from)

Beneath The Cosmic Waves Synopsis:

Running from her grief, 26-year-old Sloane moves to a seaside retirement community where all encounters point her toward the library, and it doesn’t take much reading between the lines for her to realize something very sinister is going on below the surface. With the help of her unusual neighbor Darcy, the only other young person in town, Sloane stumbles upon the adventure of a lifetime. Sincere, campy, and raw, this thrilling, women-led sci-fi drama is a story about finding friendship and connection in an increasingly technology-dependent world, all set against the backdrop of cults, libraries, the ocean, and aliens.

I'm looking for people to voice these characters with the heartfelt and sarcastic realism of 2011 Doctor Who.

Hi, my name is Kelty Greye. I'm an autistic musician and writer. This is my first audio drama and I am SO excited to move forward on this project! I have my crew, and now I'm looking for my cast! 

I've recently gone back to college, and I didn't have a budget for this show. So I've started a fundraiser, and all of the money from that will go to the cast and crew of this project. So I'm not exactly sure how much I'll have to pay you yet, but I'll know by the audition deadline.

Here's the link to the fundraiser if you'd like to know more: https://gofund.me/df9b2a40

Lead role. Sloane is a depressed, snarky loner in her mid 20's. She is grieving and disenchanted with life. She takes time to warm up, but once she does, she's loyal till the end. Kristen Stewart meets Lila Pitts (Umbrella Academy) type vibe. Any accent, any ethnicity.

  • (annoyed, sarcastic, laughing a little) You are such a child! They really let you live on your own? Don’t be such a wimp! If I wanted it to hit you, it would’ve.

  • (genuine, feeling bad about what she said) I- Look, I’m sorry. You’re right. I do find it easier to run away. I’m not sure I ever learned how to feel things the right way.

  • (bubbly, fast paced, genuine but odd) I wouldn’t leave any trash out, if I were you. It can get pretty Alfred Hitchcock around here with all the birds. One time I watched two seagulls fighting over a single french fry, it got bloody. The other birds formed a circle to watch their friends fight. One of the old ladies in the unit above me tried to break it up, but they all went after her. That was pretty freaky. First came the infection, then hospitalization, and boom! Next thing you know, her family was down here making funeral arrangements. If you ask me though, death by seagull is a badass way to go.

  • (angry, condescending) If you had ever listened to me, your life wouldn’t be the shit show it is now! But you’re too naive to see it! You could have had everything! At first I thought it was just your useless generation, I thought you’d grow out of it under my guidance. But I gave you every opportunity and you threw it all away like it was nothing!

  • (emotional, remembering) I’ve always loved the water. I swam almost every day until my 60th birthday. I always felt at home here. I probably would’ve found a career in the ocean if I hadn’t gotten married.

  • I must stress that the story I’m about to tell isn’t about me. In fact, I won’t be in this story for some time yet. But I did witness it, and I can assure you that it did happen.
