  • UPDATE!

    Hello to everyone who auditioned. I want to say a huge thank you to you all for taking an intrest in this project!


    I'm so sorry for not replying or updating this project sooner. My life was pretty hectic for the past 3 months, so it became really hard for me to stay motivated and work on Nostalgia. I didn't expect things to snowball the way they did - that's why I haven't had the chance to update this, since I haven't been able to finish the storyline and sets for filming. This is also as reason as to why I haven't decided a cast yet. I'd still like some more people to audition, so I'm going to keep this project open for a bit longer, but I have decided a few roles already - so keep your eyes open for that.


    Thank you all for your understanding, it means a lot.

  • [Cooly]: What, don't mess up just because I'm here.

  • [Quizzically]: It sounds like you're having trouble with the ending there. I'm no music buff, but I don't think the song is supposed to have an ugly clash in it.

  • Wait, you're Evelyn Bradford, your mother died right?

*NOTE: I need a voice actress who can portray different voices throughout Evelyn’s life! For example: her child voice should sound different compared to her voice as she gets older*

Description: Evelyn is the main focus of this short story. In her elder years, she suffers from Alzheimer's. During the story, she re-lives her life and recounts many forgotten pieces of her memory. As a child, Evelyn had her mother and father. It wasn’t until she was 17 when her mother passed away.

  • [Firmly]: Mom? Do I look like your mother to you?

  • [Defensive, crying lightly]: No! Don't give me some sympathetic "I'm sorry". You couldn't even remember my name! You have no right to come in here and tell me my song is shit a-aa-and (snaps), I'm just gg-gg-going to go. Ss-see you in E-e-english…

  • [Laughing]: No no no! In music, there's only 7 main notes 'A,B,C,D,E,F,G'... and then there's these guys,(presses a black key) these black notes. But we won't get into that yet. How about you play 'C' to 'C' for me?

  • [Sad]: *sighs*... no, not anymore... grandma is a little - *chokes up, takes a deep breath* she's getting old; [Cheers up a little] how about you come over and I can teach it to you?

  • [Happily]: Okay, so you see this white key, that's 'C'... and right beside it is 'D'. If you press all of the white keys in order starting on 'C', you'll make it all the way up to 'B'.
