Feeling out part 3 and 4 casting

Feeling out part 3 and 4 casting

Project Overview

Feeling out is a character-driven, sci-fi radio play, focusing on the story of Ben and his journey through coming out of tragedy with a parasyte in his head and memory-manipulating abilities. It is a journey of Ben finding himself, and the lengths he will go to survive and be free, in a universe chained by politics, commerce, and war.

This is a passion project. One, I am dedicated to making it as clean and good as possible. All the rates are flat, and almost every role will continue in a later episode of the series.


In this episode, Ben and the crew he is dragging along are having flashbacks and planning for the journey ahead. Arriving at Heping Eminence, a bustling metropolis of promised peace and broken humanity, the Ben enacts a plan to manipulate the Dynasty, one of the two main warring factions, into allowing them illegal passage through Eminence's sketchy underbelly, using ben's mind control, and manipulating a skirmish between the opposing side the 'Union', using each side's reliance on the mega enterprise emerald corp to their advantage. It's a pretty rough ride.

If you want to get a feel of the vibe, the first two episodes are available on Spotify with this link: https://open.spotify.com/episode/0m8001Z0kqVn1T2vqcDc0j?si=DVVDuFdERgGs2bfvUzjodA

Julia (Luke's partner)

Paid: Flat Rate 20 USD
Role assigned to: Ellayyy

9 lines

Julia is a beaten-down, tired, but caring woman. She works her ass off and toils daily and does it for Luke and their kid Marin. She might come off as controlling and apathetic, but it comes from the trauma of how hard she works. She genuinely loves Luke, but it's exhausting dealing with him constantly not feeling well or not pulling his weight.


This role will continue in a series of flashbacks.

  • female adult
  • (in respond to luke saying he feels sick) Ugh! Of course you are! It’s always something.

  • (snapping, then regretful) It’s worse when you don’t even argue back. I’m sorry, I just— The Collectors came. They offered testing rights instead as alternative payment.

  • (tired, desperate.) I’ve heard it before, Luke. We need credits now. For us. For Marin. Take the job — please — but don’t get my hopes up unless it’s real.

Olin Shang Reng (dynasty general)
closed
Paid: Flat Rate 22 USD
Role assigned to: Jayzar

12 lines 

Olin Shang Reng is the one and only general of the dynasty. Though this grand role may once have weighed heavily on his shoulders, his genetically and mechanically extended 158-year-long life has dulled him. He is the war machine of the dynasty, a symbol of its military might. His mind hasn't gotten any less sharp for cold, intelligent tactics, but he has lost himself in that symbol, and through his rage, wants nothing more than to be reunited with his lover.

He is stern but has a soft side that is as light as silk. He is quick-witted, sharp, and terrifying when he's angry. Also, for reference, this character is gay, and it plays heavily into his past relationship.


He is from the dynasty, a meritocratic empire. I prefer an Asian-esque accent, but I will be accepting auditions without it as well. 

Voice description:
  • male adult
  • (professional, fed up) I don’t care! Send out informants. Look for anyone matching the voice profiles from comm recordings. Spread word of this ‘mind weapon.’ The truth is useless, Eminence governance — Union will pin the blame on us anyway.

  • Needless to say what that leak could stir. I’ll handle the perimeter front. I was never much good at this game of barking dogs anyway.

  • (passionate, poetic, meloncholic) I yearn for the lush mountain forests of our home. For the songbirds, and the trill of cicadas. Your voice, soft in my ear. Your eyes, warm in my heart. Once my duty is fulfilled, I will return to you — and feel this cold metal body melt away in the passion of our love.

Dynasty guard/captain Ren Ang
closed
Paid: Flat Rate 34 USD
Role assigned to: Randal Wung

25 lines

Looking for both male and female talent for this role.

Captain Ren Ang is proud but still quite green. Loyal to the dynasty, its ways of life, and its various protocols. Eager to prove themselves, they are still early in military service compared to higher officials, but with strong convictions in the emperor's light and small town back home that they fight to protect, Ren Ang is persistent.


Not looking for anything specific for a voice profile, but given Ren's rural origins, maybe a tinge of an accent is hidden behind their speech. She/he is from the dynasty, a meritocratic empire. I prefer an Asian-esque accent, but I will be accepting auditions without it as well. 

Voice description:
  • male adult
  • female adult
  • The Dynasty notes your compliance. You will be tried for the criminal impersonation of an informant. If contraband or evidence of ill intent is found, you will be executed — after a fair trial. Stand by for towing to Dynasty Eminence Base.

  • (dreamy, being mind controlled.): Huh? Oh, I don't have the clearance ... I can patch you through to Private Li Yu Bei.

  • Yes, sir! Emperor’s light — I won’t fail!

Lieutenant Li Yu Bei
closed
Paid: Flat Rate 32 USD
Role assigned to: Rachel Sun

24 lines 

I am looking for both male and female auditions for this role.

Lieutenant Li Yu Bei is one of the several number twos of the Dynasty military. Their belief in the emperor and meritocracy that the dynasty stands for is almost unparalleled. They would sooner sacrifice everything than feel the shame of dishonoring the emperor or the righteousness in themselves. They have worked endlessly to be where they are, and they work their post with pride.


They are professional, unwavering, but also have a deep humility.

He/she is from the dynasty, a meritocratic empire. I prefer an Asian-esque accent, but I will be accepting auditions without it as well.

Voice description:
  • male adult
  • female adult
  • (accusingly, righteously) What do you know of the Emperor’s code? You brought them here. They carry critical information for us. Stand down. Return to your post.

  • So be it. As per Dynasty authority, I revoke your right to pilot this ship. You’ll be sentenced for **Insubordination**.

  • There was a larger plot. The crew employed some kind of brain-controlling weapon — manipulated one of ours into letting them pass through the underbelly right after the skirmish started. I believe they orchestrated the skirmish to find illegal passage. (Olin Shang reng says: Hmm. And why not send an officer to inform me of this?) Because I was the manipulated fool sir.

Looking for both male and female auditions for this role.


The Union is a collective of governing powers that came together to create a bureaucracy of shifting laws and demands. This guard serves as an example of the more corrupt and sleezy side of the union's leniency towards illegal dealings.

Looking for a portal of a sleeeze ball who would accept bribes but squawks like a startled chicken when anything actually important happens.

  • Yeah, heard it before. Bad luck — should’ve gone the legal way. That's what you get for messing with those slit-eyed bastards.

  • Oh sure, Emerald Corp— (beep) Stars above! Are you seeing this? A Monarch-status ship! Requesting immediate backup — we’ll protect you at all costs!

  • (Tricked) Fly towards us, we’ll shield you! Those bastards don’t stand a chance. (As ben's ship isn't flying towards them.) Wait. Where are you going!?

5$ per person

In the panic of a skirmish, several Dynasty pilots call out to Li Yu Bei for what to do next. I'll pick 3 different people for each line. 


I also might use the same people as extras later on as well.

  • Orders, sir!

  • What do we do?

This project is foremost a passion project. One that I am currently writing, directing, and funding myself.


I am looking for someone to help with editing, writing scenes, and expanding on lore.


If you think the story is interesting, think it is good but could use some work, and want to be a part of it. Attach a piece of your writing that you think shows your writing quality and style. It can be a short story, a poem excerpt from a novel, etc. Also, mention any writing qualifications you may have.


I don't expect to make money off of this project, but I am setting it as 'deferred' for a time when I can spend and focus on this project more freely.

Marin is the young child of Luke and Julia. He is bright and innocent of the world around him.


This role will continue in a series of flashbacks.
