Eastmouth (Small Town Mystery/Adventure/Horror) - (Closed, but backlog auditions are acceptable)

Project Overview


The auditions for season 1 are technically closed right now. You're still free to audition for the role of townsperson / town council member. If I'm blown away by one of the remaining auditions, I'd be happy to bring on another 2/3 people. However, for all intents and purposes, the auditions for season 1 are closed.

Pirate radio for a coastal town that is bathed in mystery. Shh, don't talk to the town council.


Looking for voice actors to take part in a mystery adventure podcast with potentially a long-running story. Unfortunately, I cannot pay you at this time, though the possibility remains open later down the line. It initially focuses on an eerie, coastal town in Maine during the 1960’s whose population inadvertently sets off a chain of events that dismantles the dimensional and universal veil of order. Think King Falls AM, but with a more serious long running narrative that includes strong elements of horror, investigation, and adventure.


If you want to take part, either leave your submission here or personally message me on Reddit (dctullis). You'll be allowed to deviate from the script a little bit to help make it your own, but not drastically enough that it makes the exchange awkward between other characters. I’m willing to accept anyone as long as they have an okay microphone and can deliver a performance that feels like the character. If you have any questions please message me or leave a response here.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Genres:

Mystery, Action, Adventure, Horror, Scifi


Info/Requirements:

1. Please keep in mind that this will be a long term project

2. You must have little to no background noise

3. You must be active and respond in a timely manner.

4. Make sure to read the character descriptions in order to get an accurate representation of the role.

5. This project will take place in a radio station for much of season one and two, however I intend to bend it around various audio recording mediums, and even include real time events outside of the station.

6. If you need or want any more information on a character please feel free to contact me either through CCC or Reddit (dctullis)

Latest Updates

  • More characters have been added to the available roles.

    Initially, I'd hoped that more people would audition for the Town Council/Townsperson role, but I've come to the conclusion that additional direct auditions might be more profitable for all parties. I've been thankful to receive so many auditions so far, and a number of you are already under heavy consideration. Even if you don't make it as a lead character, there will be minor characters/extras in the first season that grow into supporting characters by the end of the second season. Because of that, hopefully you might consider sticking around as an extra. At the very least you'll get to read some funny lines and possibly insult me. ;) Hope everyone has a great weekend. - D.C.

Victoria is free-spirited and strong willed. Halfway between a hippie and a tomboy. Growing up on a farm with a stable shaped her outdoorsy nature. She likes to tease her friends a little too much sometimes.

  • "Say your mother can cook it without burning it." [You're half joking & half sincere]

  • “I knew it. Remember when your uncle told you that you could catch more fish with a tennis racket and wood glue?” [Pointing out why Caleb's uncle is a little off his rocker]

  • “I don’t think these woods are hiding any killer deer.” [Making a joke to lighten the tension]

Role assigned to: clemturner

Polish origins, a real rough-houser. He grew up starting fights and ending them quickly. He’s pretty average in intelligence, but he’s actually really kind through the tough-exterior. Grew up in a difficult home, but not a broken one. Despite his doubts, he has a fascination with the possibilities of religion and the occult. Loyal, not the funniest, but the kindest of the bunch.

  • "How do you know this?" [Asks self aloud, feigning ignorance] "How do I know this..." [attempts to sound assured] "Ah... screw it, I've got a whole bookshelf full of shit like this."

  • "This is nothing like spooky Old McLeary. I've seen it first hand. Ghost nearly took my eyes out." [explaining a visit to an allegedly haunted house]

  • "You look like you've got a problem. That smug little grin, those tiny shit-eating teeth." [You're handling someone who was obnoxiously hitting on a girl you liked] "My day is now worse because you exist. That's your problem."

Role assigned to: Purpleboy

Caleb is nerdy, and a little bit timid, but extremely loyal and brave when the situation requires it. He is also obsessed with the military and his uncle who fought in WW2. He’s a good friend and a naturally trusting person, sometimes a little too much so. 

  • "We'll find one. Got to keep one eye open, and be real quiet. That's what my uncle says kept him alive in the war. Oh, man he used to tell me all these stories. Best damn tracker in the state..." [Excited rambling]

  • “Maybe we should call the county sheriff or talk to someone in the council, they probably wouldn’t want confidential city plans out here in some kind of crazy bunker.” [You're worried that you'll get in trouble for having a confidential blueprint to the sewers]

  • “We’re not gonna talk about this." [Said nervously and hastily] “Don’t see much reason to go prodding landmines.”

Role assigned to: Tomixcomics

An elderly (mid 60’s) member of the town council with ulterior motives. Vicious, intelligent, pragmatic, but not entirely awful. Preferably with a raspy voice, but not a requirement. If chosen, you'll be given a bit more leeway of how to present this character than some of the others.

  • "My father was a benevolent man. Shame it never quite trickled down." [Casually asserting your dominance]

  • "If there's something there, we'll find it. I've got no other choices, and I've burned up my other chances." [Explaining why others should join your cause] "You know why I'm here, but for you... it's about the implications."

  • "I never could quit this these things. Maybe this is my way of making up for borrowed time." [You're musing about your long and checkered life of smoking]

Role assigned to: WReTCHeDNSTuFF

He's the middle-aged son of a captain who made quite the fortune off of lobster. An intelligent, outgoing, and well-concealed psychopath. If you feel you can breathe life into that type of character, I’d love to have you. You'll also have a little more freedom to run the character the way you want than others.

  • "Oh, come on. Don’t look at me like that. That’s how Johnson looked too, right as he became an obstacle." [You're casually threatening a colleague, glancing at him like he's a sad little puppy]

  • “Age hasn’t given you much wisdom, Douglas. There’s deeper things at play...” [You're explaining to someone why their understanding of a situation is all too limited]

  • "Is it wrong to stare into the mirror, to really admire what stares back? I lose myself in my skin sometimes."

Mother of one of the protagonists. Someone who can give the sense of being raised with money, but who also exhibits caring and motherly traits. She’s fond of bourbon, chemistry, biology, and boxing. 

  • "Dear, have you seen the bottle of Black Lilac? I could swear that I'd left it on one of the tables in the library." [Asking your son where your expensive bourbon bottle went]

  • "I'll be leaving again for another meeting." [You're explaining to your son why you're heading out so late] "It's routine at this point, I know. You, all alone in a house this big. Can't be helped now that your father's gone." [You're a little mournful as you say this, but you're good at hiding it] "Remember, we'll be off to the Museum tomorrow, so don't stay up too late."

Role assigned to: JoshuaSpectorVA

[Age Range: 50 - 70] Douglas is a retired biologist with leanings towards anthropology and conservationism. Though a member of the town council and privy to any misdeeds they might be undertaking, he is staunchly in opposition to most of their ideals. His sole intent is protect the forests, the ocean, and the natural beauty that surrounds Eastmouth. However, as he's a coward, he refuses to take any action that would put himself at risk. (Preferably he would have a raspy voice)

  • “It’s wrong what they did, there had to have been alternatives. Something more ethical.” [Explaining to someone your disgust about a decision made by the town council]

  • “Not likely. Locked doors in the sewer, all marked by the symbol. The blueprints don’t have them listed at all. How could that be, age-old town prints like that? That’s where our attention should go.” [You're not part of 'the entourage' and are pressing for information under the guise of being oblivious as you assume further actions are being taken behind your back]

  • "Strange wheels are turning. Bright skies have grown dark and vile. And by proxy alone, I am another cog in this machine of shadows." [You're talking to yourself and generally just being a moody old man]

Role assigned to: ohheyididntseeu

[50-60] Fred is motivated by few things in life - money, booze, and women. He's not all too smart, he never fought in a war, and he never had any great career inclinations. However, his family owned the profitable fisherman's bar - The Lorelei, granting him a job that would keep him afloat until he passed it off to his son in the early 1960s. He considers his days playing rugby as a youth to be his crowning achievement. Ever since retiring early, he's found himself a seat on the town council, and quickly made sure to cozy up to Kent and join his personal circle.

  • "I would like to stand up in agreement with Cosgrove's proposition. As a previous small business owner myself, I understand the struggles that each and every one of you go through. However, it is our duty to improve our community here. Forget everything else and think about how much revenue will be brought in to the workers, and to us. It's a win-win for everybody involved." [Explaining to other members of the council why building on land with questionable legality is the right move (after taking a bribe)]

  • "Yes, yes, there has to be clues planted in the town somewhere... you've made that argument plenty before. But what about building a brothel? Just think about the buxom possibilities." [Musing to yourself as you swirl cigar smoke in the air]

Role assigned to: samdarcy42

[40-70] Not much is known about the retired fisherman except for his eccentricities. He lives in one of the few seafront properties, a 500 square foot wooden shack, and can always be found carrying a stuffed blueback trout in a satchel for good luck. Also, try to avoid the topic of little green men around him.

  • “We oughta round up those sons of bitches in the UFOs, bet they've been making blood deals with the council [muttering], and throw 'em in the lake. And not just throw them in the lake, sink 'em good. With cinder blocks, and... and cars and stuff. Just keep 'em nice and sunk."

Role assigned to: Ranger H Fox

The youngest member of Kent’s entourage. Early thirties, real estate developer who’s done well for himself. Situated in Eastmouth, serves other towns. If there's one thing Cosgrove loves more than money, it's prestige. After being born at the very halfway mark between lower and middle class, he's set his sights on the parties, prestige, and exclusivity of the upper crust. In that sense, he's a mirror of Gatsby.

  • "It’s just not right, we ought to encourage foreigners to visit. We’d be losing a substantial amount of scratch otherwise. I don’t think anyone here would disagree with that." [Debating with other council members whether to address the concerns of isolating further due The Red Scare or to focus on monetary impact. As a budding real estate mogul for the surrounding towns, more people = more business]

  • "Gentleman, gentleman... play nice. We just might be able to work something beneficial out for all of us." [You're attempting to play both disagreeing parties to end up on the good side of both]

Role assigned to: Fife

[40s-50s] Burr is a World War 2 veteran, and although he may not act like a soldier any more, the experience has deeply affected him. He's now a naturally very xenophobic person with paranoia about the Russians and a fascination with the possibilities of the occult after he encountered a strange ritual take place in an isolated island in the Pacific Sea. Although also a part of Kent's circle, he has little interest in the politics or corruption of the town beyond combating a perceived communist threat, and working alongside Kent to piece together the mystery.

  • "No, but who’d want to travel so far up the coast. Our culture and peace of mind is kept pure without the hindrance of outsiders." [Combating Aldo's aim to expand his real estate empire]

  • "This is my personal library. Come in." [Motioning forward] "Ignore the mess, please. I've been... very interested in recovering the names and documents of the earliest town council members. We hold so few cards, yet we're aiming for a royal flush. Only time will tell whether we manage to succeed."

  • "You're an idiot, Solomon. All you do is blab and blab, just like the rest of the phony press! I've got half a mind to find you and smack you senseless."

  • "This is as good a place as any. Good folks of Eastmouth, make sure to come down to Fix-It Hardware, right off of Main Street. Nothing like good old American, father and son busine--" [You're the owner of Eastmouth's only Hardware store and you won't stop calling the show any chance you get]
