Fright of their life (deadline extended)

Fright of their life (deadline extended)

Project Overview

This is kind of like a test run for a bigger project I am working on. But don't worry, that doesn't mean I expect any form of longtime commitment. This project can be seen as a standalone, it is just based in the universe of the bigger project and some of the characters will appear in both, but at different ages. (If you do want to be involved with the bigger project as well, that'd be also great! Long time commitment is just not a necessity.)

Ok, but now you want to actually know about the project, right? It is going to be an audio drama (with still images for each scene) about three kids who (not so) accidentally summoned a demon. That's it. Yeah, it's small, I know, but I didn't want to make it too big for my first time trying something like this.

 

Some information beforehand:

  • Most important (and only) rule: Be respectful to everyone else on the team!
  • The script touches on some LGBT+ topics and is critical towards some of the conservative views of Christianity. If you are uncomfortable with that, this project is probably not for you.
  • The script is completely finished, so you don't have to worry about me losing interest and not continuing the storytelling part. (I won't make it public yet though.)
  • There will be no pay. This is purely a passion project of mine and I do not have the resources to pay anyone. I don't get money from this either.
  • I don't expect you to have studio quality for your auditions, obviously, but please have recordings with little to no background noises and at a volume I can hear.
  • I don't care how old you are, but 13+ would be nice, because I would like to keep in contact via discord. (If that really doesn't work for you, don't worry, we will find a way around that.)
  • The gender I specified in the character part is mainly about what gender the voice of the character should be perceived as. Therefore, the two nine-year-old kids don't really have one specified. The gender of the character themself is always noted in the additional notes. (Sometimes indirectly)
  • Please don't audition only to then run away when I need the lines. (At least not without telling me.) You can gauge the amount of work by the number of words for each character. Those are the accurate numbers from the script. So don't say you didn't know what you signed up for. (And to be honest: For the VAs it's not that much.)
  • As for the artists: All the artist roles are the same. Since, if I manage to get more than one audition I like, I would like to be able to cast more than one. (And I haven't found a way to cast more than one person for one role.) I would like to have a somewhat consistent style, so it would be good if you could work together in some way. How that "working together" will look in the end? I don't know, that would be up to you. I have next to no clue about drawing. I do have some ideas about how I want the pictures to look like, but I would definitely need some advice here. With what I envision right now I would need 19 pictures. That might change though, if you have any ideas of how to make it work with less.
  • And last but not least: Have fun! This is your free time, so I want you to enjoy this.

Latest Updates

  • New Deadline

    Hi again, the original deadline is over, but since there was only one audition for Livy (and none for the other artist roles, but I kinda gave up hope on those), I decided to push it back. I did cast the other roles allready though, because 1) I actually could decide between two auditions and 2) because I really liked at least one of them. (For some characters even both, but, well, I had to decide on one person.) Those of you who have been cast should have a PM in their CCC-inbox telling them what I planned for the next steps. If you haven't been cast and want to know the reason, feel free to contact me via PM. Have a nice day/night/evening/morning Lukina
  • Casting of Artist(s)

    Hi there! First of all: Thank you to all of you who have allready auditioned. I'm really thrilled to see this project come to live! I know, it is still a few days untill the casting call ends, but I decided to start casting the artists to give them (and me) a little bit more time to plan. Right now here is only one audition (more than I expected, to be honest), so I think I have more than enough space if more people want to join. And if more than the two I have available as roles for now want to audition, I'll just add more artist-roles. (But I kinda doubt that will happen. It seems the artist roles usually stay pretty empty.) As for the voice acting roles: I will wait with their casting until the time is up. It only seems fair to me to stick to the times I set in the beginning. Allright, that's all from me for now! Have a nice day/night.

Role assigned to: Davey Kine

Patric is a quiet fifteen-year-old. He doesn't like being the centre of attention, but if forced to, he will step up to do the job. He cares deeply for his sibblings and would do everything to make sure they are alright, although their childishness, especially Michaels antics, annoy him from time to time. He is responsible and mature for his age, but not to a point where people would be surprised.

I want a middle to low pitched teenage boy voice for him. Nothing special, more like really average.

  • [whispering, trying to reassure his sister] Don't worry, we'll be fine. You can go upstairs if it is too scarry. I'll make sure Michael won't make an even bigger mess down here.

  • [annoyed] It's not gonna work. We'll just get scolded and if dad finds out you were in the attic, you'll be grounded for weeks.

  • [screaming, angry] Leave him alone!

Michael Cherwell

Unpaid
Role assigned to: snuggo

Michael is the nine-year-old brother of Patric and Livys twin. He is very boastful and does things before he thinks. He loves showing off. His twin sister is the most important person to him and he doesn't want to be appart from her even for a second. (Though he would never admit that if they had to be apart for some time.)

I want him to have the voice of a childand therefore the perceived gender doesn't really matter. (You can't really tell apart young childrens gender anyway) High to medium pitch is what I envision for him. I also want a bratty tone to his voice and his overconfidence should also shine through. There will be a part in Latin, but you don't have to be able to understand that. (Michael doesn't understand it either, he just reads it from a book as it is. If you are interested though, I do have the english translation.) You also don't have to know how to pronounce it, since, again, Michael doesn't know either, so any english accent (preferably the same you used for the other lines) is perfect for it.

  • [slightly annoyed, overly convinced of himself and lecturing] Don't be such a scaredy-cat. [excited] We'll never have a chance like this ever again!

  • [stubborn, defiant and a little sulky] It will! [lecturing, but in a childish way] It says in the book that all of this is reall despite what everyone says and every second page has a huge warning on it.

  • [excited, giddy] Done! Now all that is left is lighting the candles.

Role assigned to: ish

Livy is Patrics nine-year-old sister and Michaels twin. She is easilly scared but even then would never leave her twin brothers side.

I want her to have a cute, high pitched voice. Please note that there will be screams for her. So if you are uncomfortable with that, please do not audition.

  • [scared, whiney] Michael, it's dark. I don't want to go down there.

  •  [frightened] Will the demon eat us?

  • [excited, happy, relaxed] Aw, thank you! [a little worried and unsure/confused] Are you all right?

Astaroth

Unpaid
Role assigned to: Requaze

Astaroth is a demon and as such they have neither a gender nor a sex. They are very polite, no matter what the situation is, and would never raise their voice. Despite that they know that they are one of the strongest demons and wont let anyone but their prince order them around.

As for their voice, I would like to have a low pitched male voice. It would be perfect if you could give it a "buttler-vibe" without making it too subservient.

  • [annoyed but polite] Was that really necessary, Your Highness?

  • [slightly confused] Then why did you mark the oldest child?

  • [complaining, exhausted] I'm definitely getting too old for their antics again.

Role assigned to: ish

I need people to draw the pictures for the scenes, because I can't draw. There are (with my planning right now) about 20 pictures that need to be drawn. But since I don't know enough about composition and the likes, I would definitely listen to your advice. If you think more pictures would benefit the project, we can do more. If you say that it doesn't need that many, I am more than happy to have less, as long as the "feeling" for each scene fits.

For the audition, please link some of your previous work.

Please note that, due to the number of pictures this project needs, you might be working together with other artists, so it would be nice if you can match your style to that of the others.
