Project Overview
What if I told you, you can use the remains of the dead to send ghosts out of the real world? Through either becoming the killer of the ghost or finally giving them peace in the afterlife, is it worth it to bear that burden? Welcome to Fleshbound, a horror-based audio narrative podcast about self-discovery and the side effects of repressed trauma!
Fleshbound takes place following a woman by the name of Dahlia Fadel, a doctor-in-training in her final year to become a general surgeon( doing surgical residency). She lives in a shared flat with three other women: Mia, Yuna, and Connie. Mia is the youngest, at the age of 19. She is an aspiring ghost hunter and online entertainer/influencer, with parents who are willing to support her endeavors. She brought her flatmates together as her recording group; the channel is successful enough to pay for the rent and salaries of her group. She and Yuna have known each other the longest, have gone to school together, and have stuck together to record these videos. Connie is an editor who applied to help with the videos, so Mia offered for her to live in the flat to make it easier. The three girls were looking for a new flatmate since revenue wasn’t holding up enough to balance the payment of a cameraman and living expenses. Dahlia applied due to it being near her residency training. She wasn’t initially told about what they all did but was soon coerced into making the videos. The start of the story takes place a few weeks after Dahlia freshly moved in. But Dahlia, as much as she claims not to believe in ghosts, is nothing like what she seems.
Extra Description
About me and my project:
For starters, thank you so much for taking an interest in helping out with this project! I’ve always been a big fan of horror and high fantasy media, which eventually led me down my path of creating projects such as this one. This is a multi-year project in the making, and I finally got around to starting to produce it. I am the lead writer and artist for this project and will be calling all the major shots. I already have a lovely team of editors, a musician, and other artists helping me out! Your talent is the most crucial thing to this project! This is the second call I will be posting, and I will likely post more in the future, so if you aren't chosen for this one, don't hesitate to apply for a new role!
Rights:
Never at any point will your voice be used for AI or anything you did not explicitly consent to. Your autonomy as a performer/creator matters to me, so please communicate any possible concerns, and I will further go into detail.
Warnings:
This story heavily features horror elements such as body horror, kidnapping, death/murder, gore, drug use/mentions, abuse, etc. I am willing to draw back certain topics to make the voice acting experience more comfortable, but some things are non-negotiable. Please communicate any issues you have, and I will always be willing to listen.
This story also features LGBT+ and other inclusive material and will not be removed unless deemed “offensive”.
Requirements:
The recording must be on a high-quality mic with little to no noise in the background during takes. There is no minimum required amount of experience as long as you fit the needs of the role you are applying for.

Main character/Female/ Arab who grew up in America her whole life/ 25 y/o
Types of Speaking
Normal: Deep, modulated, and sounds sophisticated. She comes off as judgmental and skeptical of everything, despite not always meaning it. She is most emotional like this and is almost pathetic when afraid. She swears sparingly because she believes there’s more effective language to be used.
Narrator:
Her voice is almost airy and dream-like. It is devoid of all emotion when reading, regardless of what it is. There should be a noticeable difference from her normal voice.
Generalize:
Dahlia is a very educated woman who grew up faster than any of her peers due to her success and hard work. She comes from an immigrant household, which, due to conflicts, eventually led to her being estranged from them. She struggles to have healthy relationships(romantic or platonic) and often prefers to be alone and holds herself to a higher standard than most, which further complicates her life. Her morals are very skewed, but she often believes what she is doing is always the right answer. She can be very hypocritical at times and is somewhat of an unreliable narrator.
Notes:
Long talking periods- Dahlia talks for a very long time and tends to ramble. Since she is the main character, be prepared to talk plenty.
Unorthodox language- Dahlia is in the medical field, so she will use medical terms often, which means complex pronunciations and more methodical speaking. Not to mention, when she reads from her book, there will be lots of old language being used.
Fighting- she does get into a lot of physical altercations with other characters, so be prepared to yell and sound like you’re in pain.

[little weary]The glass vase on the table had just flung itself into the wall…For my sanity, I will ignore that.
[sounds annoyed but still perfessional] Without further ado, I will introduce myself. I am Doctor Dahlia Fadel, I am 25 years old and currently in my last year of residency until I’ve completed my schooling for my position as a general surgeon. I completed my primary schooling at the age of 12. Then, I was my class’s salutatorian from the University of Virginia.
[a sense of eeriness in a narrator-like voice]They hid his body in a crate so no one would suspect anything of them. They delivered the inebriated man to his address. The fool believed that they had good intentions for him. They dug for his keys and unlocked the door.
Secondary main character/Female/Japanese(American)/ 22 y/o
Type of speaking:
Raspy and sharp. Yuna always sounds a little pissed off and slurs her words from time to time. It never seems like she thinks before she speaks, which often gets her into altercations.
Generalize:
Yuna is what is considered by most characters “trailer park trash”/“white trash”. She grew up in a very hostile environment and naturally picked up rude qualities from it. She’s very quick to criticize others and doesn’t hold back when talking to anyone. She struggles to pick up new things and ends up dropping out of high school due to needing to pay for her life. Despite her nature, it doesn’t always mean she wishes the worst for everyone
Notes:
Yelling- Yuna is the type to yell a lot, so if you aren’t in an environment suited to do that, I don’t recommend auditioning for her.
Fighting- Yuna is going to get into altercations with other characters and environments, so be prepared to make lots of fighting/ struggling sounds. She is the one to often starts them.

[kinda akward] One time Connie kept beating me in racing games, sooo I decided to mess with her by turning the gain all the way. On the camera. BUT..it was just for one recording and I forgot to fix it. That was like- two months ago.
[aggressive but not shouting] Hey, Dahlia? Can you shut up? This is our job, just because you get a comfy and clean one doesn’t mean you get to give us problems.
[sarcastic] You’re not as cool as you think for leaning against the wall to sleep.
Thank you for being interested in the project! If you're worried your voice won't fit the main characters or you'd like to take part in this project, feel free to audition here! Leave a demo, talk about something you like, or be creative! I'm going to need a lot of voices for this, so everyone is welcome!
If I feel like you'd be a great fit for a future role, I'll dm you and tell you about the character
I look forward to hearing from you
