Can You Hear Me? Purpl Calamity
Project Overview
This is our second casting call for the remaining roles. Audition for a second chance as we make our final decisions.
Purpl Calamity is a NEW storytelling podcast that focuses on creating immersive and dimensional thriller experiences. Each episode is between 20-25 minutes with 6 episodes per season.
"Can You Hear Me?" is an original futuristic zombie story that follows the journey of a girl, Annie, who must find her way through an infested city. Mark Georgiono, the antagonist, created a real-life zombie apocalypse that revolves around tormenting Annie as a way to get back at Ken, his rival and Annie's dad. He calls it ECHO. Along her journey, Annie runs into a group of people who ultimately make her question two things. Who can she trust? And how will she put an end to all of this?
(Disclaimer: The podcast is still under development therefore, more roles may open up as we near the production date. We encourage you to save this project to be notified on the status.)

Name: Andrea
Age: 20’s
*voice and tone are open for interpretation
Andrea comes from a hard background and typically portrays herself as “tough" but she’s truly an emotional wreck on the inside. She keeps a wall up and has no problem giving anyone a piece of her mind. She has no filter and sometimes can be a little violent. A raspy voice would be ideal for Andrea but it's not necessary.
Andrea is frustrated and trying to inform her mate on recent changes.
Irate: “Did you forget there are camera’s everywhere? I sent the cam feed to ECHO and it turns out she is extremely valuable. We can’t lose her."
In this scene, Andrea had a feud with Annie and become emotional after a string was pulled.
Stern and emotional: “And by the way, you know nothing about what it takes to live in my shoes. So before you ever fix your mouth to talk about my “poor” family. Make sure you’ve already walked a mile.”
Happy, sarcastic: "Wow this is better than luna's"
(Laughs) "kidding!"
Name: Ken
Age: late 30’s
*voice and tone are open for interpretation
Annie's dad and Mark's rival. Ken is a lead scientist & engineer. He's partially responsible for aiding Mark in creating ECHO, but he's extremely regretful. Ken tries everything in his power to keep Annie safe and help her obtain and release the information to expose Mark. Even if it puts his reputation on the line.
He see's Annie for the first time but she can't see him.
Pleading: "Annie! Annie! Look at me Annie!
Defeated: "Baby. Look at me"
Here, ken is talking to his Ai. He's trying to figure out Annie's whereabouts and gets frustrated when Rachel denies him access.
Concise and serious tone: "Rachel. Show me all of the recent pings near home."
[short pause] "No no no that can't be right. Rachel, show me all of the recent logs from Mark Georgiono."
Irate: "Rachel! Show me all of the- [short pause] "What do you mean no access? I built you, you fucking- (sigh) sorry."
Fighting a zombie: "aaarrggghh!"
Name: Keagan
Age: 20’s
*voice and tone are open for interpretation. Avoid high-pitched, squeaky voices.
He's Young but he's been through a lot.
Optimistic, humorous, problem solver, energetic, and charismatic. Keagan is protective and loyal to those he care about. His loyalty and ethics will be tested throughout the series.
Confused, frustrated: “Wait...she was never a part of our deal. Now all of a sudden it relies on her?”
Yells to a friend: "Out of the way!
Swings to hit a zombie: "aaaarrrgghhh!"
Sarcastic: "take me to dinner first you freak."
Serious: “There is no home. Whatever you thought home was, erase it. This is our home. We have to survive now. I’m not gonna stop you again after this, but if you walk away then you’re on your own. And trust me, there’s plenty more of those “things” out there.”
Name: Nasir
Age: 19
*voice and tone are open for interpretation
Vengeful, facetious, tactical, ignorant, and childish. Can be a little cold but has good intentions. Nasir is usually the one getting the group in a sticky situation.
Playful: “Woah relax mamacita. I’m just trying to lighten up the mood with a little bit of fun”
Here, Nasir is upset about betrayal within the group and is contemplating revenge.
Furious: "Don't tell me to relax. He betrayed everything we stood for.
Fighting a zombie: "Over here (laughs) whoops you almost got me. aaaarrghh!"
Name: Stoney
Age: Mid 50's
A somewhat German accent would be ideal for Stoney but not necessary
Stoney has a relatively deep voice.
Stoney is an investor of ECHO and is also Georgiono's right hand man. He makes a few appearances throughout the season as he supports Georgiono's evil tactics.
Stoney on the phone with Mark:
"Ahh, I heard the good news. Looks like I made the right decision after all. Remember, my reputation is on the line, so don't disappoint me."For this line we want your best interpretation of a laugh followed by a dry, terrible cough:
(laughs uncontrollably) (cough)
