Broken Machine Audio Drama

Broken Machine Audio Drama

Project Overview

Broken Machine is an original audiodrama by Misha Mutaqueem. I'm just hosting the casting call for him. This was a last minute call to get some voices to minor characters for the project.


Broken Machine centers around a now 40-year-old Max who served in the American military and fought in wars in his youth. Unfortunately for him, his dark past hasn't moved past him but is just getting more complex.


Please feel free to apply for multiple roles. Deadline is on Wednesday March 22nd!
