Where the Tracks End Voice Actor Auditions
Project Overview
From Darker Truths in Strange Fiction Studios comes a tale of 5 people whose lives become intertwined: two boys, two police officers, and a murderer/stalker. The audio drama will follow the lives of each of these characters separately throughout the course of 9 months.
Due to its horrific nature, the production has a handful of requirements for the cast and crew:
- any VA must be 16 years of age or older to work with us without parental consent. However, due to the young characters in this story, we will accept those from 12-15 ONLY with PARENT/GUARDIAN consent. These youth will also not be permanent members of the crew and will be forced to audition as a public follower in future projects.
- you will be working with a large number of people, meaning that you must be able to be mature enough to handle that AND turn in lines on time since a group is counting on your responsibility. We will NOT tolerate late lines without former notice, and you will be kicked from the project and studio immediately if lines are not submitted timely. Also, if you notify us of a possible delay, we may remove you from the project, but you will not be kicked from the studio.
- we highly recommend you have discord. Everything that we do is connected through discord, so if you choose to work on the project solely through email, you may get delayed updates.
- please have previous experience with acting and/or voice acting before auditioning. This isn't a project for novices and requires much effort and talent.
That being said, let the auditions commence!

Over 80 auditions! Wow! Thank you to everyone who took the time to audition. Everyone at the studio is so appreciative of the attention this project has gotten. That being said, we cannot accept everyone who submitted an audition. As voice actor Jack Angel said, you are never rejected; someone else was just selected. That means you’re one step closer to your big break. Have patience and be willing to learn, and soon your chance will come. We will have results within the next week. If you are not chosen, you still have a chance to be a part of this project and future projects. We have multiple casting calls coming out in the next few months, and we always need extras. If you are interested in being an extra for the studio (unpaid), please contact us by dms or email. ([email protected]) Good luck, darlings, and may the best VA win...

The stalker and later murderer of this story. He is in his 40s or 50s, homeless, and lost his wife in childbirth. The infant did not survive either. His demeanor is quite awkward, while determined as well. He has undiagnosed schizophrenia and mania.
I am YOUR protector. You will ACKNOWLEDGE my work, and all that I have done. I am SAVING THIS TRAIN FROM OBLIVION.
(narrated) They’ll come in twos and when they do..it..it..it will spell DISASTER! I know that they are coming, for I have seen THEIR faces.
(narrated) I remember, I remember, Devastation, Pure devastation.
This is the younger of the two boys. He is 11 years old (6th grade) and timid. Boy 2 helps him come out of his shell. He is of Hispanic descent.
Let’s just get going. I’m ready for this day to be over with so we can come back here and hang out.
(voice raised) It’s so loud. Why are so many people here?
Huh… That is pretty cool.
Older of the two boys. He is 13 years old (8th grade) and outgoing. He’s friendly and mature for his age. He is mixed raced. (African American and caucasian)
(voice raised) You up, sleepyhead? Can’t miss the first day of school.
If you don’t pick up the pace, we will most certainly be late because we’ll miss the train. You’re okay with taking the train to school, right? It’s a new thing for you, but it’s sooo cool.
Yeah, that happens a lot, most of the time those people are harmless, just seemingly angry.
This character has a light Hispanic accent. He’s blunt and straight to the point, and a family man. He also has a wife and two daughters.
Yeah, apparently our youngest isn’t feeling well, so she asked me to come pick her up. I got off work early, so I was able to.
Look, man, I’m sorry for your losses, but this isn’t the best place to air your grievances.
Officer Reyes 2 blocks away, over.
He is much more optimistic. He sees silver linings. Has a girlfriend of two years.
Hey, how was the call you responded to?
Okay, didn’t mean to dig into emotions, it’s time to head home, right? Got one exciting call on a patrol and the day is done.
See ya!

I can’t stand being out here, but I can’t go home, they kicked me out.
Mother of Ángel, young mother. She had him when she was in her late teens. She was born in the states but still has a slight Hispanic accent. IF YOU AUDITION WITH A HEAVY HISPANIC ACCENT, YOU WILL NOT BE CAST. She is very chill but also stern when necissary.
Don’t worry a single hair on your head. I made sure that he’d be awake in time.
Be safe, boys!
Wife of officer 1. Always worried about his safety.
I know, I just always worry about you going out there.
(laughs) Well, don’t get too excited about possibly moving to homicide, it’s okay to just be on patrols and keep the city safe.
Oldest daughter of Reyes, 4 years. Daddy's girl
Really fun, we colored, and played outside!
Younger Reyes daughter, two years. Barely speaking.
Say some incoherent words and some babbling. Really just anything you see fit for a 2-year-old.
The male voice in the stalker's head.
Is he watching?
(teasing) I hear the train-a-comin, It's rollin' 'round the bend...
In twos, in twos. Disaster comes in twos.
The female voice in the stalker's head.
He’ll kill us all.
Off the tracks, bones will crack. Stop them, stop them.
He lost them before, will he lose them again?
