Project Title: The Target
Genre: LGBTQ+ Audio Drama / Audio Roleplay
Format: 16 episodes – ~20 minutes each
Recording Period: May to August 2025
Compensation: Paid per episode
Language: English
Accent Required: American
Age Requirement: 21+
The Target is a deeply emotional and immersive audio drama with elements of audio roleplay, told from the perspective of Sean Prescott, a college student navigating identity, connection, and rejection.
Though the story is told in the present tense, it recounts events that have already happened — making it a hybrid format between real-time storytelling and voiceover-style narration, similar to what you’d hear in a cinematic voiceover. It’s not linear like an audiobook; rather, it flows with Sean’s emotions, memories, and direct conversations with the listener and other characters.
Sean is part of the LGBTQ+ community, and although he identifies as gay, this aspect of his identity is known to very few in his environment. Throughout the series, he will face inner conflicts and difficult moments of rejection — particularly from his father and parts of his college circle.
The listener character is part of the Deaf community, which plays a meaningful role in how the story unfolds.
Alongside the lead role, the series includes a cast of supporting voice actors who are already attached to the project. As the story develops, new characters will be introduced, and additional roles will be cast progressively throughout the production.
This is not an NSFW series. However, some scenes include mature themes and sensual content, such as explicit narrative descriptions and emotionally intimate moments. These are always handled within the context of the story and character development — similar to the style found in modern romance literature. Kissing sounds, moans, or breathy lines may be required. Candidates must be fully comfortable with this kind of content.
Role Description: Sean Prescott (Lead)
We are seeking a male voice actor (24–32 voice range) to portray Sean, a thoughtful, introspective, and vulnerable character whose emotional depth is at the heart of the series.
Sean is self-aware, and often caught between who he wants to be and what others expect from him. The role requires someone who can switch seamlessly between narration, internal monologue, and direct emotional dialogue, with subtle emotional shifts.
You’ll need to deliver everything from quiet longing to raw heartbreak — all with authenticity.
Recording Process:
The series will follow a rolling production schedule, with scripts being written progressively and episodes recorded one at a time throughout the production period.
After each episode is recorded and revised (if needed), it immediately moves to post-production.
Scripts are written progressively and delivered one week before each recording.
The entire project will span from May to August 2025.
To ensure consistency and the best possible audio quality, selected actors will be asked to:
Watch a short technical video explaining best recording practices
Attend a Q&A session with our sound engineer (mandatory)
Excellent emotional range
Previous experience in audio dramas or similar formats is a plus

Male character, 20s to early 30s.
Voice should feel natural, warm, and emotionally grounded, with the ability to shift between introspective narration and heartfelt dialogue.
Sean is a college student at a small-town college in Pennsylvania, where he’s also the captain of the Black Falcons, the school’s football team. The story is told through his voice, intimate, reflective, and often directly addressed to the listener, who is part of the Deaf community and someone Sean once deeply loved.
This is a cinematic audio drama with a strong emotional arc. The actor must be comfortable performing both narration and emotionally intense scenes, including tender, romantic, and vulnerable moments.
Keep in mind: This is a cinematic, character-driven story — not an animated or theatrical piece.
Please aim for a grounded, natural performance, similar to what you’d hear in films like Normal People, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, Call Me by Your Name or The Social Network.
Avoid cartoonish or overly exaggerated deliveries.
Think subtle, real, and genuine — like you're speaking to someone right in front of you.

*Say something you think would fit*
Ed is one of Sean’s teammates on the Black Falcons football team.
Their relationship is strained, they get along just enough for the sake of the team, but tension is always bubbling beneath the surface.
Ed is confident to the point of arrogance, often self-centered, and doesn’t make things easy for Sean. He is not necessarily a likable or redeemable character, but his presence will have a strong impact on Sean’s journey.
This is a small speaking role in the first episode, with just a few lines, but the character may return later in the series, depending on how the story evolves.
Rate: $175 per finished hour, with a minimum fee of $20 per episode.
Payment is made per episode delivered.
Note:
The selected actor must sign a contract confirming availability for the entire production period (May to August 2025) in case the character returns later in the series.
In this scene, Ed and his group set up a shady plan involving the listener character.
They randomly choose Sean to carry it out, and give him a meeting point at the college library to initiate the setup.
This marks the beginning of a complicated and uncomfortable situation that will impact both Sean and the listener moving forward.

(clicking his tongue before responding, fake sincerity, smirking) Yeah, but I don't know, man. You made such a big deal about it last time. We figured you wouldn't go through with it. But hey, respect. You did.
(casual but still pushing buttons) In any case, we did come up with a backup plan. (smirking) Harvey volunteered to take your place. Y'know... in case you got cold feet.
(chuckles under his breath)
Clive is a key member of the Black Falcons college football team.
While he and Sean aren’t particularly close on a personal level, Sean deeply respects and admires him, both on and off the field.

Dwayne is a member of the Black Falcons college football team.

Benjamin Prescott is Sean’s father, a former professional football player who has high expectations and a rigid view of success, both in sports and academics.
He’s emotionally distant and demanding, especially with his son. Since discovering Sean’s homosexuality, their relationship has deteriorated significantly, to the point where Benjamin now barely speaks to him.
Sean is deeply affected by this estrangement and continues to seek his father’s affection and approval, even when it feels hopeless.
Benjamin is a complex character: authoritative, cold, and quietly resentful, yet still human. The role requires a strong emotional presence with subtlety and weight.
This is a small speaking role in the second episode, with just a few lines, but the character may return later in the series, depending on how the story evolves.

In the first scene, Benjamin takes Sean to the park for a training session. The tone is tough and distant — it’s not a moment of bonding, but a display of expectations and control.
In another scene, Benjamin unexpectedly sees Sean with his boyfriend. The confrontation is immediate and emotionally charged, revealing the depth of Benjamin’s anger and denial.

Keep your shoulders straight and stay low! (pause) Head up! Always see the field, son!
Fast first step! The first step wins the play! (pause) Footwork, Sean! It's all in the footwork!
(disbelieved) SEAN?! WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE?! Under my fucking roof?! GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY HOUSE!
