House Of Night [Book 1 Marked: Audiobook]
Project Overview
This is a table-read project. All auditions must be sent here. Please when you are auditioning, try to audition for multiple as I cannot guarantee you a part. All requirements and other information will be listed below.
Summary
After a Vampire Tracker Marks her with a crescent moon on her forehead, 16-year-old Zoey Redbird enters the House of Night and learns that she is no average fledgling. She has been Marked as special by the vampyre Goddess Nyx and has affinities for all five elements: Air, Fire, Water, Earth and Spirit. But she is not the only fledgling at the House of Night with special powers. When she discovers that the leader of the Dark Daughters, the school’s most elite club, is misusing her Goddess-given gifts, Zoey must look deep within herself for the courage to embrace her destiny—with a little help from her new vampire friends (or Nerd Herd, as Aphrodite calls them).
(All certain nsfw scenes/content from the original book was removed from this project! So people are comfortable.)

"The point is that he was wasted for like the fifth time this week. I'm sorry, but I don't want to go out with a guy whose main focus in life has changed from trying to play college football to trying to chug a six-pack without puking. Not to mention the fact that he's going to get fat from all that beer." I had to pause to cough. I was feeling a little dizzy and forced myself to take slow, deep breaths when the coughing fit was over. Not that K-babble noticed.
"Kayla, if you don't shut up I'll fly down there and suck every last bit of blood from your stupid cheating cow body!" I spit the words at her.
"No, you didn't look like Erik's mom. You looked like what you are--desperate--while you pathetically tried to throw yourself at a guy who was clearly telling you he didn't want you anymore."
She has brown hair and brown eyes and is known to ramble on about unimportant things."
- female teen
"No, but Zoey, I swear to God Heath didn't get that drunk after the game. You really shouldn't be so hard on him."
"Zoey, please. Are you even listening? I think he only had like four--I dunno--maybe six beers, and maybe like three shots. But that's totally beside the point. He probably wouldn't even have had hardly any if your stupid parents hadn't made you go home right after the game."
"I said nu uh because not just losers smoke--at least not just once in a while. You know those two really hot running backs who play for Union, Chris Ford and Brad Higeons? I saw them at Katie's party the other night. They smoke."
Heath has blond hair and brown eyes and is 6'1 in height.
- male teen
"Yes I am crazy, 'bout you, baby!"
"Didn't you hear? We got the day off 'cause of the ass-kicking we gave Union on Friday!"
"Zo, whatever's happening to your body is cool with me. You look seriously hot. You've always been beautiful, but now you look like a real goddess."
She has brown hair is in her 40s and is married to John Heffer.
- female adult
"Oh, God! What have you done now?"
"I wasn't aware that I had stopped being your mom," (coldy)
"I don't know how you can be so selfish. Don't you realize all that he's done for us? Because of him I quit that awful job at Dillards. Because of him we don't have to worry about money and we have this big, beautiful house. Because of him we have security and a bright future."
A controlling husband with dark brown hair dull brown eyes and an elder of the people of faith.
- male adult
"God's knowledge surpasses science, and it's blasphemous for you to say otherwise, young lady."
"I don't need to have anything explained to me by a sixteen-year-old."
"Linda, call Dr. Asher's emergency number, and then I think it would be wise to activate the prayer phone tree. Make sure the other Elders know that they are to gather here."
Nyx is known as the goddess of night and is an immortal being.
"In truth, it was the ancient Greeks touched by the Change who first worshiped me as the mother they searched for within their endless Night. I have been pleased to call their descendants my children for many ages. And, yes, in your world those children are called vampire."
"Believe in yourself Zoey Redbird. I have Marked you as my own. You will be my first true U-we-tsi a-ge-hu-tsa v-hna-i Sv-no-yi...Daughter of Night...in this age. You are special. Accept that about yourself and you will begin to understand there is true power in your uniqueness. Within you is combined the magic blood of ancient Wise Women and Elders, as well as insight into and understanding of the modern world."
"Zoey Redbird, Daughter of Night, I name you my eyes and ears in the world today, a world where good and evil are struggling to find balance."
She has silver hair and brown eyes and is in her 60s. She always smells of lavender sage.
- female senior
"It should. You scared ten years of my life from me. All that blood... How about you promise not to do that again?"
"Bloody and unconscious, Little Bird. And so pale that your dark crescent seemed to glow against your skin. I knew you needed to be taken back to the House of Night, which is exactly what I did."
"I called your mother to tell her that I was returning you to the House of Night, and I had to pretend that my cell phone cut out so I could hang up on her. I'm afraid she's not happy with either of us."
Has huge, almond- shaped eyes that were a deep, mossy green. Her face was an almost perfect heart and her skin was that kind of flawless creaminess that you see on TV. Her hair was deep red--a dark, glossy auburn that fell in heavy waves well past her shoulders. Her body was, well, perfect because she was strong, but curvy.
- female adult
(gentle concern) "I said, we were hoping you would have some explanation about why a fledgling vampyre that hasn't Changed has the Mark of a mature being on her forehead."
"As I was telling your grandmother earlier, we have never had a fledgling come to us in such an unusual manner before-- unconscious and with a completed Mark. Can you remember what happened to you, Zoey?"
"Sylvia Redbird, I give you my solemn oath that your grand-daughter is safe here. Each fledgling is paired with an adult mentor. To ensure my oath to you I will be Zoey's mentor. And now you must entrust her to my care."
- female teen
"Okay, here's the deal, Zoey. You have this weird Mark, so everyone's talking about you and wondering what the fuck is up with you." (gushing & dramatically silly) "Oooh! The new girl has a colored-in Mark! Whatever could that mean? Is she special? Does she have fabulous powers? Oh my--oh my!"
"Did I look like Erik's mom when you watched me in the hall?"
"Come to the ritual. Pretend you're part of the Dark Daughters. But you'd better remember something. They're my Dark Daughters. You're the outsider; the one who is not wanted. And remember this, too. Erik Night and I have a bond that you'll never understand. He's not my ex anything. You didn't stay to see the end of our little game in the hall. He was then and he is now exactly what I want him to be. Mine."
She has blonde hair and blue eyes also has country accent.
- country american
- female teen
"You're my roommate. I figured you'd tell me what was up with it when you were ready. One thing growing up in a small town like Henrietta taught me is that it's best to mind your own business if you want someone to stay your friend. Well, we're gonna be rooming together for four years...."
"Hey, y'all, I don't think we should prejudice Zoey against them. She might get along okay with them."
"So, Zoey, give. What about Erik Night?"
Erin is Caucasian with blue eyes, creamy skin and long, straight, blond hair and wears designer clothing.
"Fuck that. They're hags from hell."
"Forget that--he's the hottest damn thing on this planet,"
"You're not. We were just discussing the trash that needs to be taken out tonight,"
Damien has brown-colored hair and deer-like brown eyes. Damien is extremely smart and has a very large vocabulary. He is also gay.
- male teen
"Watch that mouth, Er Bear. You have to eat out of it,"
"Actually, the consuetudinary way to phrase that would be 'Do not make me cut that Jessica Simpson look-alike blond hair of yours off in the middle of the day.' Technically day is night for us and so night would be day. Time is reversed here."
"But what the Dark Daughters really are is a group of stuck-up bitches who get off on lording power over everyone else. They want everyone to follow them, to conform to their freaky ideas of what it means to become a vamp. Most of all, they hate humans, and if you don't feel the same they don't want shit to do with you."
Shaunee is a mix of American/Jamaican descent with long dark glossy waves, cappuccino with milk colored skin, and dark eyes. She has curvy, pouty lips and high cheekbones that made her look like an African princess.
- female teen
"Do not make me cut that Jessica Simpson look-alike blond hair of yours off in the middle of the night."
"I wouldn't be caught undead with those bitches."
"Oh, no no no. I do not believe you just said that, Damien. You know how crazy she is about her hair."
She is described as having an "athletic" body and long straight brown hair. She has an athletic and pear-shaped body. Has a southern texan accent.
"We're just about to begin choosing the monologues that each of you will present to the class sometime next week. But first, I thought you'd like to have a demonstration of how a monologue should be performed, so I asked one of our talented upperclassmen to stop by and recite the famous monologue from Othello, written by the ancient vampyre playwright, Shakespeare."
"Most of you already know fifth former, Erik Night, and are aware that he won last year's worldwide House of Night monologue competition, the finals of which were held in London. He is also already creating a buzz in Hollywood as well as on Broadway for his performance last semester as Tony in our production of West Side Story. The class is all yours, Erik."
"Very good. Let me know if I can clarify setting or character for you."
Erik is described as tall -about six foot - with semi-curly black hair. He tends to resemble Superman. Erik is a naturally sweet (and sometimes possessive) guy that proves he's not just another pretty face. He is quiet and reserved. He also refers to himself as a geek because of his interest in films such as Star Wars.

"You're just ahead of some of the rest of us. That's hard at first, but, believe me, it'll get easier--even for you."
"I'd like to see you again, Z, and not just by accident."
"What Aphrodite made me feel was all physical. What you make me feel is about touching my heart. I know the difference, Zoey, and I thought you did, too."
Her tattoo is a series of thin, pretty Celtic knots that trace their way down her face and around her cheekbones. She has reddish-blond hair and hazel eyes.
"I do love it when a new fledgling knows something?"
"Elliott, you are, of course, failing Lit. But what's more important, you're failing life. Vampyre males are strong, honorable, and unique. They have been our warriors and protectors for countless generations. How do you expect to make the Change into a being who is more warrior than man if you do not practice the discipline it takes even to stay awake in class?"
"That question calls for an answer, Elliott. Now!"
He has reddish hair and is lazy, quiet, and a lot of the students are repulsed by him.
- male teen
"I probably won't do it."
"The Dragon already knows how I am."
"Fucking freak, get outta my way!"
A short, but muscular male, with long blond hair, usually tied in a pony tail at the nape of his neck.
Damien can explain the different parts of the fencing uniform to you, and I'll get you a handout to study over the next few days. I am assuming you've had no previous instruction in the sport?"
"You'll be learning how to use a foil. It's the lightest weight of the three types of weapons we have here, and an excellent choice for women. Did you know that fencing is one of the very few sports where women and men can compete on entirely equal terms?"
"For the next week or so I'll have Damien drill you in the opening maneuvers. Always remember, fencing requires a mastery of skills that are sequential and hierarchical in nature. If one of the skills is not acquired, subsequent skills will be very difficult to master and the fencer will be at a permanent and serious disadvantage."
Silvery blonde hair, stormy grey eyes, and a petite body shape.
"And you are my new group of third formers. Each of you has been chosen for my class because we believe you might possibly have an aptitude for riding. The truth is that less than half of you will last the semester, and less than half of those who last will actually develop into decent equestrians. Are there any questions?"
"Horses are work. Horses take dedication, intelligence, and time. We'll begin with the work part. In the tack room down this hall you'll find mucking boots. Choose a pair quickly, while we all get gloves. Then each of you take your own stall and get busy."
"Lenobia will do. The name I chose in honor of the ancient vampyre queen needs no other title."
Born in 1811 with Blonde hair & turquoise eyes estimated to be 200 years old (and looks young.) She is a vampire and she is the wife of Professsor Dragon Lankford and is the spells and rituals professor.
"Blessed be, Stevie Rae."
"Merry meet, Zoey Redbird, welcome to the House of Night and your new life, and blessed be."
"There's no need to be nervous, I believe the Goddess is already looking after you."
He has dark hair and eyes, is over six feet tall, is incredibly handsome (even for a vampyre) and looks like every woman's vision of the perfect man. He also has a deep and powerful voice.
"She walks in beauty, like the night of cloudless climes and starry skies..."
"Merry meet."
"And of Erebus."
"Actually, word has it that he and Aphrodite used to be hooked up, but I've been here for a few months and it's been over between them at least that long. Here ya go,"
"My last name was Titsworth. Can you imagine? When I got here a few weeks ago and my mentor explained that I could change my name to whatever I wanted it to be, I knew I was going to get rid of the Titsworth part, but then the whole issue of picking a new last name just stressed me too much. So I decided I'd keep my first name and not hassle with a last name."
"Yeah, but he was really looking at you."
