Nothing Narrative Podcast - Episode 3

Project Overview

I'm now casting roles for Episode 3 of Nothing! 

You can listen to Episode 1 & 2 of Nothing on Youtube (https://youtu.be/nBMYnG9xeaI) and also subscribe on iTunes (https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/nothing/id1336693004?mt=2).

Please listen to Episode 1 of Nothing before auditioning. When auditioning, please submit a recording of all 3 lines. The tone of the story is somewhat dark, but it needs to feel natural. 

Here is a brief synopsis of the story: 

Nothing is the story of Charles Hill, a confessed murderer who turns himself in after two high-profile killings. Locked in an interrogation room with a psychiatrist and a detective, Charles is asked to reveal the location of his victims' bodies. But before Charles tells the police what they want to know, he first has to tell them his side of the story, a story he needs them to believe.
 
Charles tells of a future world where humanity has created a utopia, a civilization hidden from a dangerous environment, protected by faith, God, and aristocrats like himself. But Charles wants nothing to do with his society, with his privileged life, a suffocating world that has given him nothing but despair.
 
As Charles resists the obligations of his society, he meets a man whose past reveals the dark origins of his world, a past deeply entwined with his own. Charles is forced down a path that ignites the political and religious frailties of an unbelievable utopia, a path that leads him to a different world, our world, where the only hope for our future lies in the faith we place in the words of a murderer.

Thank you for taking the time to read this casting call. I'm so excited to hear what everyone brings to the table! Thanks!

Role assigned to: growat

PLEASE READ!! Stuckey is arguably the most important character I'll have casted so far, so I'll be taking my time casting him, including asking for additional readings if I like your first audition. Stuckey is the villain of the story. He's insane, eccentric, and driven to cause pain in people's lives. He has a vast range in emotion, so you'll need to be able to go from somber to frantic, from sad to angry, from laughing to yelling. Stuckey believes that there is no true meaning to life, and that it's his responsibility to give meaning to people by putting them through hell.  He needs Charles' help with this, so this scene in Episode 3 should teeter on the edge of trying to be convincing to Charles and sometimes letting his insanity shine through. I don't quite know exactly what I'm looking for, so feel free to experiment within these guidelines.

  • I’ve met a lot of people in my life, Charles. Nobody is like that: nothing to drive them except the pain of others. (Laughs) I don’t even think the Wanderers are really like that. Maybe if these people would pluck one from the surface and open up its brain, they’d see something a little more complex than what we’re told.

  • Forget about them. Forget about who they are. They aren’t people, they’re things. Molecules with parts forged in stars, clumped together to survive, to eat, and breathe, and shit.

  • I see the things you see, Chucky, the things we were born to see. I know you, Charles Hill. I know who you are and what you want. I’ve been looking for you. (Laughs) I’ve been sniffing out your trail for years now and I’m nothing but fucking thrilled to have you sitting next to me.

Role assigned to: EsDeeCarlson

Helen Grace is the mother of Emily Grace. She is an older woman, very kind, and very proper. 

  • We both feel so comfortable knowing that you’re going to watch over Emily. We won’t feel as uneasy about her going down to the surface now that you’ll be by her side.

  • Salem District has so much potential. It could be such a beautiful city.

  • (Frantic) Emily, baby, we're coming! Don't look at them! We're coming for you!
