[Paid] New Captain Scarlet: Project Atlantis [Fan Project]

Project Overview

New Captain Scarlet — Fan Audio Drama

A fan-written and produced audio drama based on the British television series by Gerry Anderson.

If an ideal candidate is found for a role, I reserve the right to close a role before the advertised deadline.

What is this?

This is a fan-written and produced episode for New Captain Scarlet, a British television series created by the legendary producer Gerry Anderson, which originally aired in 2005.

For those unfamiliar with the premise:

In the year 2068, Earth is engulfed in a War of Nerves with an alien civilisation known as the Mysterons. The Mysterons possess the ability to control matter itself, allowing them to kill individuals and reconstruct them as instruments of their war against mankind.

The story is intended to be presented in a style somewhere between a storyboard and an audio drama.

About the project

This is an independently produced fan project, funded personally by myself, with the aim of bringing a new story to life through voice acting and audio production.

The episode is being developed and produced in manageable stages, with each portion completed as production progresses. This approach allows the project to develop incrementally while maintaining a consistent production process.

I'm looking for voice actors who are enthusiastic about the project, can deliver clear and expressive performances, and are happy to work within this staged production approach.

Whether you're an experienced voice actor or looking to build your experience, you're welcome to audition, provided you can meet the recording and performance requirements outlined below.

Please read the individual role descriptions carefully before submitting an audition.

Recording and performance requirements

As this is a paid project that I'm funding out of my own pocket, I'm looking for performances and recordings that are suitable for use in the finished production.

You don't need an expensive professional studio, but your recording setup should be capable of capturing your voice clearly, with minimal background noise, distortion or clipping.

Please record in as quiet an environment as possible and ensure that your dialogue is clear and easy to understand.


In terms of performance, I'm looking for actors who can interpret their lines naturally, convey the appropriate emotions, and deliver a performance that suits the character.

Please ensure that your audition meets these requirements before submitting.

Payment and compensation

This project is funded directly out of my own pocket, so the payment structure has been designed around the available budget.

Payment is $25 USD per completed portion in which your character appears.

Each portion is completed as part of the ongoing production process. Your total earnings will depend on how many portions feature your character.

For example:

  • A character appearing in one portion would earn $25.

  • A character appearing across three portions would earn $75.

  • A lead character appearing across five portions would earn $125.

Some roles may be brief, while others may recur throughout the episode. Recurring roles therefore have the potential to earn more over time.

As the episode is being developed progressively, the final number of portions featuring each character may not be known at the time of casting. Some roles may be pitched higher than this.

Payments will be made exclusively through PayPal. If you do not have a PayPal account, please be aware that I cannot pay you through an alternative method.

Production approach

The episode is being produced in smaller portions, with each portion completed as production progresses. Characters may appear in multiple portions throughout the project.

This means that recording will take place incrementally rather than requiring the entire episode to be completed before production can begin.

Please bear this approach in mind when auditioning, particularly if you're considering a recurring or lead role.

Audition instructions

  • Please do not slate your auditions.

  • Please follow any additional instructions provided in the individual role descriptions.

  • Ensure that your recording is clear and free from distracting background noise.

  • Submit a performance that demonstrates your interpretation of the character and their dialogue.

If you have any questions about a role or the production arrangements, please feel free to ask before auditioning!

Thank you for taking the time to consider this project. I appreciate every audition and the time and effort that goes into preparing one.

Good luck, and I look forward to hearing your performances!

[Recurring Character] Captain Scarlet is the lead character of my fan project and will play a central role throughout the show. The role requires someone who can capture Scarlet’s confident, determined, and heroic personality while also bringing emotion and intensity to his performances. This is intended to be a long-term position, with only a few scenes recorded at a time as the project progresses, so reliability, consistency, and enthusiasm for the character are important. Payment would be delivered after each batch of dialogue is received and utilised.

His voice is generally described as having a Mid-Atlantic/Transatlantic quality, with a clear, confident, and authoritative delivery. That said, I’m fairly flexible on the exact accent. The most important thing is that the voice feels natural, suits Scarlet’s character, and sounds good in the role.

For the initial session, you can expect to deliver approximately 6-7 lines.

[Recurring Character] Captain Ochre is a supporting character in my fan project, appearing throughout the series in a handful of scenes. She is Northern Irish, and a capable and dependable member of the team, with a confident and professional presence that complements the other characters around her. This is intended as a long-term position, with only a few scenes recorded at a time as the project progresses, so reliability and consistency are important. While the role is smaller than some of the lead characters, Ochre will have a meaningful presence by completion of the story.

For the initial segment to be recorded, Captain Ochre will have two lines. Payment will be delivered upon completion.

This is intended to be a long-term position, with only a few scenes recorded at a time as the project progresses, so reliability, consistency, and enthusiasm for the character are important. Payment would be delivered after each batch of dialogue is received and utilised. You can expect 3-4 lines in the initial session.

[Recurring Character] Brave, dependable, personable and decisive. A capable field officer with a strong sense of loyalty and a reassuring presence.

Captain Blue should sound like an experienced military officer who is equally convincing during routine exchanges with his colleagues and tense situations in the field. His voice should convey confidence and physical capability without becoming unnecessarily aggressive or theatrical. There should be warmth and personality beneath his professional exterior, particularly in his interactions with Captain Scarlet and Lieutenant Green.

Initial session will be 2-3 lines.
