Warning: This will contain mentions of gore, abuse, illegal activities, and cursing. There may be other things, and some can be waved for you if you are uncomfortable. If needed, just do not audition/join.
More roles will be added as time goes on so if you are not selected it is okay. I may still select you for other things.
This is planned to be posted on Youtube with 10-30 minute episodes. Number of episodes will more than likely be 10+ episodes. If this goes well it WILL have a 2nd season and money will be involved.
Criminally Insane is an Audio Drama following Spirit who has struggled with her own collapse and long list of mental health issues. She has had these moments of being mentally unaware and "gone" and waking up in mysterious places with a man named Nickolas. Often, she is surrounded by gruesome scenes of mutilated bodies and covered in blood.
"This is just a nightmare. Nothing is real. If it was, I would be in jail."
So she thought. She told her best friend of 7 years, Rhea, about what had happened and Rhea always encouraged her she was having nightmares since she always woke up in the morning in her bed with no blood and no news on any disappearances. Until one night she discovers bloody clothes and investigates. Her mental sanity and state proceeds to worsen and goes through rollercoasters and it never seems to stop... Well... This will be one hell of a ride.
Requirements: Be 16+, mature, and okay with dark and heavy topics and/or themes.
Have good mic quality with little to no background noise.
Be able to work long-term.
Have discord and introduce yourself.
I have finalized the script for episode 1 and finalizing episode 2. I am casting a few of the current characters but will be adding extra roles that will need to be filled out. Thanks for your patience and all of the auditions.
I have added two new roles, an extra role for Ep. 1 and The narrators role. One or so extra and 2 narrators, male, and female, and everything in between. Narrators will be cast before the rest of the VAs are. I will continue to add new roles like an upcoming one, who will be a very strong and gentle male with a HEAVY German accent. German may be required to know but that is TBD. Thanks for all people who do audition.
Spirit is the main character and the female lead. She is about mid-20's and very emotional. She will have A LOT of dialogue. Estimated 4k words of dialogue in two episodes. She curses quite a bit.
Personality: Caring, Aggressive, Kind, Sweet
Her voice range: Medium to medium low.
Has a very mature and sound but has many fluctuations.
(Empty/void) What happened? Why am I still here? Where am I?
(Annoyed) Okay so I found a weird, discolored wolf under my sink, I have no clue where he came from, and I still don't have answers. Great. Stuck in the same space I was with more needs of an answer.
(Angrily) Meant to help me? You showed up unannounced and want to help me? Please. At least when I would be 'gone' you were more helpful than this. JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!
Nickolas is the guardian demon that Spirit has made a deal with for protection. He curses A LOT and is seen as a very cold and brooding character.
Personality: Cold, awkward, sadistic, selfish, responsible
He has a relatively low voice but not necessarily really deep.
(Amused but unimpressed) In another shithole of a place. Just the normal run of people being in the wrong place at the wrong time or... -drift off- People never knowing what is better for them to run than help.
(Serious) Yeah, you killed some people. Some were trying to hurt you, other were accidents, others fucked around and found out.
(Annoyed) Who the hell are you talking to? Fucking insane? (Angry) Because I came to help your ass. Like I have been.
Pronounced Ree-Uh
She is Spirit's best friend of 7 years and comes from a particularly wealthy family and helps support Spirit both emotionally and financially. She is quite bubbly and optimistic and supports her best friend no matter what. She's just a little bit older than Spirit and has quite the youthful voice and she does scream in the series. She does minimal cursing and may be the least cursing character. She only uses it to vent frustration(not often). Curse count: 1-5 words.
Yes, she calls spirit, "sprit."
Voice range: High to medium.
(Persistent) Yeah, the ones where you are all schizo and confused. You never know where you are and you always have done something horrible. Murder, torture- (she is cut off)
(Complaining) Ugh, today was such a shitty day. The customers were great at first but after you left... Maybe it was the people getting off of work or the children getting out or both... But damn they were rude and LOUD...
(Snide remark) Well it's not like you did much to help the situation. Showing up unannounced, no warning, nothing. Personally, not surprised. Sprit has been so tense since the "discovery" and all.
Ira is a Hellhound and friends with Nickolas while WORKING for him. He monitors Spirit in her apartment. His personality is still being built on but he is mysterious and very chill and easily excitable. He has mood swings. He will curse too.
Range: Medium. Pretty much it.
(Smugly) My name is Ira. I'm not gonna hurt you per seeeee.... But I can definitely do that. I just value myself a little more than that.
(Discontently, selfishly) You don't have to. It's not meant to help you either. I simply need you to agree you won't tell Nick about you finding me. You made my job a lot harder.
(Tired, Sighing) Look... Just don't say anything and I can... Possibly give you more privacy than what my job says. I rather not have issues that need more energy than needed.
She is the nurse that takes care of Spirit and Rhea. She is a demon and does not curse. She may be a recurring character and is very mature. She doesn't exactly understand how humans work and is very motherly.
All voice types and ranges are allowed but a mature and low voice wouldn't be bad.
(Caring) Hm? Are you awake now? Are you in pain and do you need anything? You are okay.
(Serious) Your friend is okay. She was shot through the throat and it hit one of her major arteries but should be okay. Make sure she drinks plenty of water and rest her neck. She should NOT talk a lot. She's lucky we have more advanced technology than humans do.
(Panicking) Uh-?! Why is she crying? Is she in pain?! Is something hurting her or possibly causing her emotional distress? Is she... Happy?
This role is for both male and female and I will choose 1 for each. They will narrate when the Audio Drama is in a 3rd person perspective instead of 1st person Spirit. With that being the case, I would like someone who can speak clearly and both monotonal and emotional at the same time. This role will only curse once.
Note: This will be more female heavy as the main character is female and follows her life/story. It will have more male over time as the story progresses.
(Dramatic) A candlelit room has a girl sitting on the floor covered in blood and bruises, staring aimlessly toward nothing but darkness. Dressed in white shorts and a red shirt, she contemplates.
(Monotone) He stares at her in bewilderment and concern. Her face relaxes into a "For fuck's sake" look.
(Monotone) A clock is shown with the time of 6:45 and Spirit is sitting in her living room of her 5th floor apartment. She is watching a crime documentary, comfortably dressed in a tank top and sweats.
She is just a Karen with her children in the restaurant that Rhea and Spirit work at. This is a small role with 0 cursing. There is a chance to be an extra for other parts too if your voice fits another.
(Matter of Factly) Oh, no, I am not giving a tip or whatever I am just trying to pay the bill for me and my children.
(Slyly) Well if you work here you should know who works here, don't you? You know your section so why not the ones around you? You're already here so take the payment already.
(Rude) Me and my children are paying you to accept our payment and for your service. You are just trying to get us to pay more. I am *not* tipping you.
