Dyme: A Serialized Southern Gothic Story

Dyme: A Serialized Southern Gothic Story

Project Overview

Dyme is an original Appalachian horror audio drama set in a fictional Appalachian town where old folklore, family secrets, and supernatural forces intertwine.


At the center of the story is Clara Hathsbury, a young woman searching for her mother, who disappeared seven years ago. As Clara begins uncovering the truth about her family and the town she calls home, she finds herself caught between the people she loves and something far more sinister than anyone is willing to believe.


Dyme is an ongoing, independently produced series with a planned four-season story arc and the first season already written. Adding in voice actors is an early season pivot decision. We’re dedicated to producing the best product possible, so that’s why we’re pivoting early. We're building a long-term creative project with an emphasis on immersive sound design, grounded performances, memorable characters, and atmospheric storytelling.


We're looking for actors who can bring emotional depth, are flexible as we work out the kinks of a show in its first season, individuality, and authenticity to the world of Dyme.


Interested Candidates should message us with their email, tell us what role(s) you're interested in, and we will send you an audition package.

Mid 40s, deep Southern accent.

Sheriff Columney is the de-facto leader of Dyme. Mayor Combs is around, but when things go down, the town looks to the Sheriff for guidance. He serves as the voice of reason, a gruff appearing hairy mountain of a man that is actually very emotionally intelligent. He’s a tough looking softie in all reality and loves Clara and Caroline as if they were blood daughters.
