Jermaine

Jermaine

Project Overview

An unknown child's voice on the radio. An amnesiac woman. A Chrysalis waiting to hatch. Dark secrets lie underneath the sleepy town of Jermaine, Alaska. Jenna Warwick, an unemployed 30-something, is drawn to the village, for reasons unbeknownst even to her.


Jenna meets a man named Paul Derry, a security guard in the mine that houses the Chrysalis. Gradually, they begin to unravel the mystery surrounding Jermaine.


This series will be in the form of a podcast, with episodes uploaded to SoundCloud and YouTube. I am shooting for an initial run of 7 episodes, with the possibility of a second season. Each episode will not be long - probably in the ballpark of 10 minutes.



The roles cast in this casting call are mostly main roles and those featured in the first episode. When I need more voices, I will add more roles. There might be a bit of a delay between the production of the first and following episodes, as I will want to review the process and improve what I can about it.



Working on this project will require communication. Anyone auditioning should have an email account for contact. Actors should always meet given deadlines unless an exception is required.



On the subject of mic and recording quality, I am by no means expecting studio-quality recordings. However, recordings should always be clear and lack background noise.



This part is really cheesy, but it's so important that you enjoy yourselves working on this! Doing that is just as important as anything else! Break a leg (or any similar appendage)!

Latest Updates

  • New character, deadline extended

    Thanks in part to my notorious indecisiveness, the deadline for auditions is now the end of January. Thank you to everyone who has auditioned so far! I've also added a new character to the list: Ariana Matterson, a Scottish psychic. Additionally, I tweaked "The Boy" a little bit. We still need sound editor auditions. If a composer can do both roles or vice versa, please make it known.

Role assigned to: juliaschifini

30-something. Moved to Jermaine to start fresh. Somewhat abrasive, but not completely unfriendly. Nice to who she likes, but will not take crap from anyone. She might give some, though.


Jenna usually sounds pretty laid-back. She's a little reluctant to show too much emotion, but it shines through.


  • It’s creepy. It’s like this thing is inside my brain. I don’t know, man, it’s like - it’s like it knows me.

  • Are you even able to see how tired and busy I am right now?

  • It's cool, man. Everybody has their thing. (pauses) It's Jenna Warwick.

Paul Derry

A security guard/tour guide in the mine. Radio nerd. Jenna's eventual close acquaintance.


Paul has a medium kind of voice - not too high, not too low. Sometimes he gets flustered a little more easily than Jenna.

  • Ma’am, are you doing alright? You were staring at it for a pretty long time.

  • Oh, you’re not sticking around for a full tour, are you?

  • No, it’s just - they’re playing a rebroadcast of War of the Worlds on the local radio station.

Jenna's younger, more successful sister. Photojournalist based in New York City.


Lisa's voice is on the higher side. She always speaks with a bit of enthusiasm.

  • Hi Jenna, it’s Lisa. Just checking in to see how the move went.

  • I got approval from my boss to come up here for the week, so, surprise, I guess!

Jumpy. Slightly anxious and paranoid. Assumed to be an amnesiac of some kind.


Has a more gruff voice from years of smoking. Think Carrie Fisher in her later years.

Rand Richardson

Scientist. Will not hesitate to remind you of his doctorate. A bit mysterious. Very to-the-point. Knows more than he is letting on?


Rand's voice is a little on the lower side. Most of the time, when he speaks, he is able to maintain a level of professionalism.

  • Excuse me! This is not a public forum. There are people at work here, so could you *please* bring that noise somewhere else?

  • Do you know why you came here, Warwick?

Ariana is Jermaine's local psychic. She's very kind, and fairly weird as well. While she is confident in her ability, most others are not.


Ariana speaks with a Scottish accent. I have no real preferences past that.




  • Open your mind to me... You just need to let me in...

  • I used to fancy traveling. Morocco, Japan, Italy - I was like a bullet, I was all over the world! But then I just stopped here. Not even sure why.

  • My god. I take the time out of my day to bake cookies for you, drive to your house to personally deliver them, and you're giving me this crap?

  • You must be joking.
