Doctor Who: The Voice of Reason
Project Overview
Everlasting Films is a group of professional, semi-professional, and amateur actors who have been making The Doctor Who Audio Dramas since 1982. These productions are downloaded for free over the internet. We average thousands of episodes downloaded each month. (More than a million episodes have been downloaded.) If you want to get your voice heard, this is the place to do it.
We are currently holding an open casting call for voice actors for our next production, The Voice of Reason.
The Voice of Reason
20DWA203
The universe is full of darkness and pain. Whether it is the cruelty of a tyrant, the peril of an invasion force, or the injustice of a murderer getting away with their crime, life can be hard and unfair. But there is a force for good out there, fighting against these threats to our continued existence. They are making the universe a better place. Not simply vigilantes doing what the law cannot, they are giving people the chance to improve their lives and be better. Their influence is spreading and soon, everyone will have heard the Voice of Reason.
The Doctor isn’t convinced that the Voice of Reason is the benevolent force they claim to be, but what can he do when the universe won’t listen to him anymore? He’ll need all the help he can get, but how can he be sure who to trust?

F, 20s strong young woman looking for answers following her brother’s murder. Broken down by the injustices of her world, she feels very alone and is trying not to let it show. Kind-hearted but being overwhelmed by her grief. (10)
AVRIL: (starting to get upset) They can’t get away with this. I sat back before, let them flout the rules when it suited them and said nothing but now… Jeremy’s gone.
M, 40s/50s landowner on a medieval planet. Brusque and questionable landlord who feels affronted
BARTHOLOMEW: No need, good sir. Pray tell, are you as good with a horse as you are at attacking the Archlord’s guards?
F, 30s sturdy colonist manning the barricade against a feral enemy. Strong-willed and resilient, she is willing to make the difficult decisions to protect her home. A soldier in skills if not mentality. A good person put in a tough position.
BIJOU: The Doctor and Tasha were right! Astrovar can be ours, if we work with the Fangra, not shoot them.
A young child in awe of the Voice of Reason.
CHILD: Stop! Thief!
(F, 40s) a brilliant scientist who has barely survived a war and will do anything to prevent another. Hard-hearted because she has to be. The top of her field, she’s well-respected and would’ve been world-renowned in peacetime. Firm but fair.
FREDDIE: We picked up your arrival instantly. The signal’s coming from her. She’s one of them, even if she doesn’t have the outer shell. Kill her.
(M, 30s) a guard protecting a hall on a medieval world. Superstitious and over-reliant on his spear.
GUARD: Submit or I will send you back to whatever wretched realm you came from by force!
a Land Girl from the Second World War. Trying to be brave, innocent and not used to the stranger side of life. She has a big heart and always does what she thinks is right. Perhaps overcompensates to make a good impression. Middle class.
LAURA: We got into the City, and as much as it looked huge from the outside, it was even bigger on the inside.
Representative of the Voice of Reason. Clinical and practical, she is sinister in her pragmatism. Capable and calculating, her priority is promoting the Voice’s message and will stop at nothing to succeed. Rich, powerful voice, preferably posh sounding.
LENORE: Report. Padacha Pacha has heard the Voice of Reason. Engaging Stage 2 agents.
Representative of the Voice of Reason. Strong man who firmly believes everything he says. Threatening and not afraid of throwing his weight around. Lurking in the shadows, he isn’t afraid to get his hands dirty.
MACINTYRE: Rogue element traced. You are the human named Christine. Confirm?
Resident of a futuristic colony. Scared but not a coward. Softly-spoken covering a steely determination to survive.
OVEEM: We have to stop them! They can’t have our world!
Likes to think he’s the best leader but he’s a cruel tyrant who punishes his people on a whim. Power is more important than anything else. A bully trying to present as a hero. Speaks kindly until challenged, after which he snaps and is aggressive.
PARGITER: It has been brought to my attention that rebellious elements have infiltrated our great city-state. This will not be tolerated. Do I not give you everything you could want?
An inhabitant of a militant alien world who believes the Voice of Reason. Weak-willed and quick to anger. Working class.
ROK-DON: (video; excited) I am Rok-Don and I have heard the Voice of Reason.
(F, 16) Royal blood, will be ruler someday, but unsure of herself and feels unworthy.
SAMANTHA: You are trying to reverse the process, but there is no way back. You know this to be true. You’ve met the Cybermen before.
(F, 50s) dishevelled factory worker with a suspicious attitude. Only just alive and desperate to stay that way. Witch-like.
VANMORRIS: (doubtful) Ay, it happens. You don’t look like yous from around here. Them clothes pristine.
(Any gender, adult) Supplicant of the Voice
VYRON: The people of Um’qa do not need to be saved. We have heard the Voice.
(M, 30s) an inhabitant of a war-torn country. Sick of being scared and desperate to protect his family. Sensible and proud but running out of other options. Trying to maintain a pretence of control and stop his voice breaking from stress.
YOUSSEF: There was… an explosion… my family… please… still trapped…
