Hi, all! A lot of IRL stuff has come up (all of it good!), and I've been busy with work for the past few days, so I have not listened to all the shortlisted submissions yet, about halfway through now. Apologies for the delay!
I will find time to complete the casting process in my less busy hours. Some time over the weekend is most likely when I'll get this done. :)
It took a while, but I have managed to listen to all of your submissions and have made a shortlist for each character! I will relisten to the shortlisted submissions and hope to make my final decision by this Friday. Thanks for your patience, everyone. :)
Hi, everyone! Thank you for taking the time to audition for this project! I will now spend the next few days listening to everyone's submissions.
Expect to see another update for the final decision.
Exciting times ahead as we near the deadline for this casting call. If you haven't auditioned already, now's the time to make a submission (or two... or three!).
Expect more updates on the Corrupted Films Discord server soon! (https://discord.gg/kXxqfXu)
Looking forward to listening to all of your auditions! :)
Main Role
Age - 30s
Voice - Male. Low to mid vocal range. Mature, professional. American accent.
Dr Marcus Shaw is a space exploration professor at the University of Nelso, specialising in exploring the Atonia system. After undergoing Sectura, an experimental neurological procedure to sever his old memories, his life unexpectedly split into two. By day, he is charismatic and has an inquisitive need to learn about life beyond Nelso. By dusk, his old self carries the burden of his trauma and the regrets of undergoing Sectura.
Note: This role will require sound effects like heavy breathing and grunts, which will be requested during post-production.
The engravings on the artefact caught my eye. Appears to be some sort of script; something more akin to enchantment language of the pre-Exodus era.
(reading slowly) Beware the artefacts of dusk and dawn; their combined might, chaos, under inept hands.
It didn't go as planned. After my procedure, I started feeling... off... And now... I live two different lives, shifting at random.
Main Role
Age - 30s
Voice - Female. Low to mid vocal range. Confident, mature. American accent.
Rosa Blair is a Terraform Engineer with a curious nature. She is unfazed by setbacks and is determined to get to the bottom of any obstacle in her way. Rosa dreamed of engineering new worlds where life can flourish with respect to existing ecosystems.
Note: This role will require sound effects like heavy breathing and grunts, which will be requested during post-production.
Look, Dr. Shaw, you're the only one around here with extensive knowledge about the Atonia system. Please, I could really use your expertise.
There's a dark secret hidden within these artefacts, Marcus... I need to know what happened.
(shouts) What are you doing, Marcus?! We have to go!
Supporting Role
Age - 40s
Voice - Male. Low to mid vocal range. Confident, hyper-vigilant, restless. American accent.
Remy believed he never truly belonged in Nelso. As he got older, he spent several hours learning about life in the stars. Eventually, he earned his title as a Curiosity explorer, giving him full freedom to explore neighbouring planetary systems and found a home on the planet of Dax, located in the Atonia system.
Note: Character lines contain swearing.
Whatever that thing was you found here, the nomads are looking for it.
Those dipshits outside, they've got their teeth deep into this search. Do these mean anything to you?
A shame you're not staying a little while longer.
Supporting Role (Antagonist)
Age - 60s
Voice - Male. Low to mid vocal range. Husky, slightly raspy, cynical. English accent.
Anthony experienced what life was like before the Exodus. It was at that moment that he had had enough of Solace and Kodia’s antics, forming the anti-corpo group, the Nomads. He saw through their “saving humanity” story to cover the dirty work behind several of their experiments on Earth.
Note: Character lines contain swearing. This role will require sound effects like heavy breathing and grunts, which will be requested during post-production.
The Exodus. The ultimate betrayal inflicted upon Earth and its people. Solace-Kodia turned their backs on us, abandoned it to decay by their careless experiments. If a statement is to be made, it must be one of unmatched power; a weapon worthy of this crime.
You believe that, don't you?! It was a culling. A lie told to the masses to cover their asses for what they've done!
You want to talk about revolution? No. We don't need their shiny new tech. We don't need their shitty corporate lies...
Minor Role (6 lines)
Age - 40s
Voice - Male. Low to mid vocal range. Mature, professional. English accent.
Wade is a professor at the University of Nelso. He is well-acquainted with Dr Shaw and enjoys stopping by for a quick chat.
Out of all the planets you could've travelled to in your absence...
What's so special about that thing anyway?
(chuckles) Not my domain. I'd rather stay on the ground, thank you. Anyway, just wanted to stop by, you have a good night. I'll see you tomorrow, yeah?
Minor Role (2 lines)
Age - 30s
Voice - Male. Mid vocal range. Any accent.
A Nomad who is tasked to find any strange artefacts to give to Anthony. He is not very observant and usually does not think before he speaks.
Note: This role will require sound effects like heavy breathing and grunts, which will be requested during post-production.
The hell happened here?
We don't even know what it looks like, let alone why our old man wants it.
Minor Role (4 lines)
Age - 40s
Voice - Female. Low to mid vocal range. Any accent.
A Nomad who is tasked to find any strange artefacts to give to Anthony. She is the leader of her group. She is assertive, confident, and dislikes being in Nomad 1’s presence as she would have to dumb down information for him.
Note: This role will require sound effects like heavy breathing and grunts, which will be requested during post-production.
Can't be that hard to find one strange object around here.
(shouts) He's got the artefact!
(out of breath) He's gonna get his hands on that, one way or another.
Minor Role (2 lines)
Age - 30s
Voice - Male. Low vocal range. Any accent.
Anthony’s right-hand man of the Nomads.
(cold, annoyed) Right away, sir.
We've been looking all over the Atonia system for them. Why's this so important to you?
Minor Role (2 lines)
Age - 20s
Voice - Female. Mid vocal range. Any accent.
A student of Dr Marcus Shaw’s in his space exploration course.
Uhh... Dr. Shaw?
(yells) Dr. Shaw!
Minor Role (2 lines)
Age - 40s
Voice - Female. Mid to high vocal range. Any accent.
The voice in the background who would perform Dr Shaw’s Sectura operation.
Whenever you're ready, Dr. Shaw.
Thank you, Dr. Shaw, that'll be all. Any final words before we proceed?
