===================
I've been a huge fan of the Star Wars Radio Dramas by Brian Daley, and years ago I got a production script of Raiders of the Lost Ark, which I decided to take and adapt to radio, like what was done for Star Wars. Here's the result, which has been sitting on the shelf for over 25 years.
I was always planning on doing 10 episodes (I ended up writing the first 7). The script should be familiar to those who know Raiders, though some scenes never made it in the film, or were later repurposed in sequels.
This is an audition for the First Episode, which features the opening scene in its entirety from Raiders of the Lost Ark.
If this works out, I will plan to post this on YouTube or as a podcast. This project is just for fun - please try out if you are looking for experience doing radio dramas.
NOTE FOR AUDITIONING: Don't worry about multiple takes of the same lines - give me your best read, and if you want to try an alternate, read through the lines a second time from the beginning (just make sure it truly sounds different)

Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark. Based on characters and situations created by George Lucas, Philip Kaufman, and Lawrence Kasdan.
The year is 1936. The threat of war looms large in Europe as Adolf Hitler rises to supreme power as head of the Nazi Party in Germany.
Now, deep in the lush rain forests on the eastern slopes of the Andes in South America, in a place known as “The Eyebrow of the Jungle,” Indiana Jones makes his way across a narrow trail in search of fortune... and glory.
Archaeologist and adventurer. Looking for a deeper voice and an American accent. Should be gritty-sounding and low-key, like a younger Harrison Ford, but still accessible enough to be able to lecture on archaeology.

This is it. The Temple of the Chachapoyan [CHA-CHA-POH-YEN] Warriors. This is where Forrestal cashed in years ago. Another archaeologist. He was good... he was very, very good.
That must be Forrestal. So that’s why no one heard from him back at the University. Poor fool probably never knew what hit him. (Sighs)
(Yelling) Fine! (To himself) Okay Jones, now how much can this statue weigh... This bag’s probably too heavy... better get rid of some dirt... okay. (Yelling) I’m going to make the switch, Satipo! Get ready to run! (To himself) Okay, here goes! One... Two... THREE!
One of Indy's guides that betrays him. The guy with the hat and gun that gets whipped away. Gruff voice, could be hispanic-sounding.

(Irritated) It’s the Curse. They’re talking about the Curse again, Satipo!
They must be reading the inscription on that statue... Hey, you! Get away from that!
If the Hovitos knew we were here... they would have killed us already.
One of Indy's guides. Higher-pitched than Barranca, Hispanic accent. Originally played by Alfred Molina.

(grunting) Ugh! The dart’s poison is still fresh! Less than three days old! They’re following us!
You have a... whip? Don’t hurt me, Señor! I knew nothing about this! He was crazy! Please!
(Panicking) Señor, I think we should go no further!
One of the native Peruvian guides. Speaks Quechuan. If you can speak or pronounce Spanish, that can be close enough.

I wouldn’t worry about your friend. From the poison arrows in his back, I’d say that the Hovitos you see here already took care of him.
Indiana Jones! Again we see there is nothing you can possess which I cannot take away. And you thought I’d given up.
(Chuckling) Yes, too bad. You could warn them - if only you spoke Hovitos. (Yelling) Hotana Motusu! Robah-ta!
Indiana Jones' pilot, and owner of a pet snake, Reggie. American accent.

Oh my gosh! (Yelling) I’m starting it now, Indy! Run!
Oh that’s just my pet snake Reggie!
Aw, c’mon... show a little backbone, will ‘ya?
