Magical Secrets: A D&D Inspired Audio Drama
Project Overview
Hello one and all!
Magical Secrets is a D&D inspired audio drama following the exploits of The Amethyst Prism adventuring party! While the primary cast has already been selected, we do have a number of interesting and diverse side characters that we're looking to cast. Please only submit one audition per role and limit your audition to only 2 takes for any line.
[BEFORE AUDITIONING PLEASE READ!!!!]
To be considered for any role you must be:
1. At least 18 years old.
2. Have quality recording equipment/spare to record (no staticky mics or audible background noise.)
and finally 3. The text of this project contains many LGBTQA+ themes and characters, if that discomforts you I'm afraid you should consider another project.
Additionally, this project does involve themes of horror and fantasy violence, please keep that in mind before auditioning if those are contentious topics for yourself.
UPDATE: CASTING AND AUDITIONS RE-OPENING!!
Hey gang! Thank you again for the huge support and interest coming in! I've cast a bunch of the roles from your submissions and have extended time for some of the roles still needing to be cast!

Perhaps we might escort you to the forest's edge, the woods hold many beasts of that witch’s conjuring.

*Laughing something off* You must forgive me but the mind does begin to wander once you finish your first two centuries!

*Haunted* I know there were visions before, but they faded to smoke the moment I opened my eyes, awoken by my own screamin’. I think I saw… bugs… needles maybe?

Fortunately for me, I didn't see the beast itself. Though I suppose that’s unfortunate for you, sorry son.
*Angry, but not at who she speaks to* You tell your highlord this, whether they’re burnt down or abandoned, those fields won’t make crops on their own.

All I ask is that I be allowed to feed your fire with a story, one I believe you’ll find value in.
