Doctor Who: The Witch of The Forest
Project Overview
Yes, you read that right. This is a remake of Series 11 to the Modern series of Doctor Who, which aired in 2018. A series, not necessarily considered terrible, but largely agreed to be 'inconceivably inconsistent', 'lazy', and 'creatively bankrupt'. Many saying it fails to satisfy the majority of Doctor Who fans in more ways than one, and tears down the very fabric of the show. The point of this series is to breathe new life into the series with an original and creative direction
YouTuber 'B-Where', popular mainly for his videos criticizing and opinionating points of many science fiction television series and movies, took a particular fascination in the current Chris Chibnal era of Doctor Who (spoiler: he's not a very big fan). So, in order to honor the show's legacy in the most respectful way he can (many Doctor Who fans will tell you Chris Chibnal hasn't) B-WHERE has spent the past few months, painstakingly gathering a large team of artists, composers, designers, and, of course, actors to completely remake this series from the ground up, starting from Peter Capaldi's 12th Doctor's regeneration---the point that many Doctor Who fans agree is when many issues started to arise.

An evil and egotistical witch with a penchant for making "potions" and a strange interest in the Doctor. There's definitely more to her than appears on the surface... This will be a recurring role for the next 2 episodes as well. The voice for this role should be somewhat similar to this performance by Kate Fleetwood: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3CfA3pTUlrM
“My name? I’ll tell you that, dear Doctor… In person. Venture North to my castle, if you dare… hahahaHAHAH!”
“My green men, to me! We shall deal with these troublesome pests at a later time…”
“Who dares address me so casually? You there! What is your name?”
Leader of the Knights Templar, a noble hero dedicated to defeating the evil witch whose dastardly influence plagues this forest.
“How do you claim purity when you stand amidst that box of magick and trickery!?”
“Come out from that blue Gehennea box, you Hellions!”
“Shhh, shhh… Steady your heart, little lambkin. We are soldiers… Knights Templar. We live to fight, and yes… we die.”
A brave knight searching the forest, for an evil witch that has been terrorizing several nearby villages.
“It must be Jack of the wood. The witch has used his green magick to command nature, to meddle in God’s domain!”
“Lady Jessica, your turn for night watch is fast approaching. Please take this time to bring yourself awake.”
“Grandmaster! These beasts, are nary as frail as the others! Mine blade leaves only scratches!”
We are looking for someone with experience in SFX, Foley, and Atmosphere who would be interested in taking part in this exciting project! Ever wonder what footsteps would sound like on the surface of a planet made of jelly? The type of sound that might be generated by a 5th-dimensional being phasing into our reality? Or perhaps you just love working with audio and want to help bring Doctor Who back to its former glory - if any of these describe you, please don't hesitate to send in a portfolio of any kind!
This role would include - reading scripts and deciding which actions require SFX, audio engineering, foley, vocal atmosphere, and mixing. We have a small team already, so if you only fulfill a few of these skills, feel free to audition regardless.

“And what of this contraption, Sir Doctor?”
“Aye, I was only going to refill my canteen, and this foul odour bewitched me.”
“These creatures are too powerful! We cannot overcome their might! We- GAH!”
A fun-loving, goofy and forgetful future version of the Time Lord. To play this role, you should be able to somewhat accurately mimic the voice of actor Michael Sheen.
“Deja-vu? That’s just your timelines bleeding in on each other, including all the memories that you haven’t had yet! It’s quite common, really.”
“Good Morning/evening to you, by the way… Or perhaps… Croeso? Nin hao? Pandskaa?! ...Mazel tov?”
“Right, hello, again. Sorry, should probably clarify. You’re in my TARDIS, a space and time transcending machine. It’s bigger on the inside, smaller on the out, it’s all very overly and perfectly reasonably complicated, and I’m sure you get the idea-”
A grumpy, no-nonsense, vengeful future version of the Time Lord. To play this role, you should be able to somewhat accurately mimic the voice of actor Judi Dench.
“That settles it. This is definitely YOUR Tardis, mine doesn’t have so many… leakages!-”
“Oh please don’t get the damn specs out! You’ve gotten a new pair of eyes fourteen times now and yet you still can’t see properly?! Next you’ll be wearing a bloody monocle…”
“Adric was the first! The first death in a long, long line of people we have lost in our stupid crusades over the years. So don’t you dare claim to be the Doctor and do anything less than care about him.”
