Breaking the Beast (YouTuber Audiobook)
Project Overview
Hello!
I'm Fear Itself and I'm the author of Breaking the Beast! What started off as a joke idea for a MrBeast fanfic quickly took it's own form with a now much more serious plot behind it and a small dedicated group of fans. The goal of turning the story into an audiobook is to help expand the reach of the story and make it more accessible to new fans. The story itself is complete and small edits will be made throughout the production of the audiobook and book 2.
What's It About?
Breaking the Beast follows YouTuber MrBeast, aka Jimmy Donaldson, and the aftermath of being kidnapped and blackmailed by the Indian mafia group D-Company on request of T-Series CEO Bhushan Kumar. Despite having gone missing for two whole weeks, he manages to convince his friends he simply went on a road trip to clear his head since he was threatened with the harm of his loved ones if he didn't keep his mouth shut. But being forced to deal with trauma in silence never did anyone any good and his facade began to crack. When Chandler gets close to getting the truth out of him he has to disappear for good, for everyone's safety. No one around to watch his own back but himself, what happens when he's too weak against a looming threat?
Who Out Of My Favorite YouTuber's Are On The Rooster?
- MrBeast
- Other MrBeast Members - Among these, Chris and Chandler are main characters while Garret, Marcus, his brother CJ, and other MrBeast staff are side characters
- Quackity, Aka Alexis - The other main character, he takes on a protective role when Jimmy's at his lowest. Him and MrBeast have collabed before on Quackity's channel for Discord's Got Talent 3 and the finale episode.
- A few other YouTuber's such as Jschlatt, Junky Janker, KSI and the Sidemen range from side characters to minor characters.
What Do I Need To Join?
- Discord - It's the main communication hub, the place where you'd submit your work, and receive instructions/deadlines so it's imperative you have access to it.
- Working Mic - All meetings will be done through VC so having a working mic is useful. If you aren't the narrator it doesn't have to be great, so long as we can understand you.
- Dedication - The main falling out of previous projects is the lack of commitment. Please only audition if you are certain you can meet deadlines and make time for meetings.

The narrator is the only VA we'll be needing. Just have a good quality microphone and make the scene come to life. Encapture emotion, and try not to stumble over your words. Since this is an audiobook this role is of most importance. Though any payment is not an option yet, we are looking for ways to make this possible. Portfolio of any previous work required.
Jimmy reluctantly allowed Alex to act as basically a crutch for him. Leaning against him, Jimmy wondered when was the last time he had positive human contact. Before finding Alex, it was probably six months ago, when he still lived in a house with four walls and a roof and had friends who to some degree cared about him. Part of him longed for that kind of affection again. Of course, it was weird but all he wanted was that kind of security. But as always, he shoved it into the depths of his mind. He couldn't depend on anyone else. Once he could walk on both feet again he was gone. He wasn't about to threaten his friend's safety for something as minuscule as his own selfish desires.
"But I am Alex! I've been doing nothing but leeching off other people's talent and good ideas for the better part of my life. Ever looked closely at what I do? All I did on YouTube was make stupid narrations about what's going on right in front of the viewer and give the winner money. Anyone can do that Alex. My mere existence has apparently been weighing Chris down for the past 6 months. ...THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO REASON I SHOULDN'T DIE AT THEIR HANDS JUST TO MAKE EVERYONE'S LIVES EASIER! I'M NOTHING BUT A FUCKING BURDEN! JUST LET ME GO ALEX!"
(For the final part, please look anywhere for a decent sized excerpt from any piece of media and sell it to us! Even if I've never seen/read the media it's from, I should still really understand the weight of what's going on.)
Since the audiobook will be posted to YouTube we're gonna need thumbnails. We will take multiple artists. You should have a decent-sized portfolio we can look through. (If we don't get enough artists, we'll just use the cover art for it, if this were to happen we'd just have you make stuff like the profile picture for the public discord server or extra promotional art.) Portfolio Required.
Say something you think would fit
Edits the video that will be uploaded to YouTube. When all the audio is put together, they'll put into video form with the artwork. This role is interchangeable with the audio engineer if they have the skills to do so. Portfolio required.

Audio mixers may need to edit multiple takes together and will make sure the audio is crisp and clear. This role is interchangeable with video editor if they have both skills. Portfolio required
