DISCLAIMER:
This project will contain triggering topics such as violence, detailed description of torture, strong language, along with other disturbing subject matter. If you are uncomfortable with these topics, then this project may not be for you. Thank you for your understanding!
OVERVIEW:
This story observes a small selection of participating individuals willing to be test subjects for differing procedures with the reasoning described as vaguely as “various medicine testing.” On top of this was a rather hefty sum of compensation money that is enough to turn heads along with the added benefits of full shelter, food, water, and supervision for four days. The downside is once they start, they cannot leave until the study is over.
NOTES:
This project is a rather short term video series that most likely will not be turned into a longer running series. Discord will be the primary communication method between director and actors, and there may be a small staff server if need be.
I would like to note that all visual and written assets are already completed for this project. As soon as you are casted, you will be given a script.
AUDITION QUALIFICATIONS:
You must be 16 or older to audition. Please list your age in your audition.
You must have discord as that will be our primary source of communication. Please list your discord in your audition
Please format your takes in AABBCC Format
It is highly advisable that your microphone is clear with minimal background noise.
OTHER INFORMATION:
For other information, you can dm me here on Casting Call or join the discord server linked here.
Update 9/26/25
With 5 days left to casting, changes are gonna be made! Mainly regarding those who I have contacted.
I will officially be narrowing the shortlist to the top contenders!
Meaning, if you were shortlisted before. The purge is coming! A big clear up is going to be made!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR AUDITIONING THOUGH! It's CRAZY that we are nearly at 300 submissions!
That's it for the short little announcement, I hope you all have a good day/night :>
Hello there! Before I start rambling, I want to mention how incredibly grateful I am that a good amount of people have already auditioned this early in. Thank you all so much!
First, Lets address the elephant in the room.That's Ronald. Hey Ronald.
Second, lets talk callbacks.For the past couple days this has been up, I've been listening and either shortlisting or dismissing as I go whenever I can. This Saturday (the 6th!) I will start reaching out to those I've shortlisted via discord dms. If you get a dm/friend request by me, now you know what's up.
When it comes to callbacks, everyone will receive at least one additional script to do. Be ready for anything! Screaming, whispering, crying, yatta. I want you to give it your best effort!
If you so happened to get dismissed, and you want to know what is wrong with the audition. Join the casting discord server! This server will be deleted upon the end of this casting call, so use it while you can! I'll be in the server trying my best to give feedback whenever I can. I will be blunt though, so you've been warned.
Final NotesThank you again for your interest! I hope to be messaging you very soon. I also encourage everyone to branch out their comfort zone and audition for characters that aren't in your range. Worst case scenario, you get dismissed. However, I've been hearing some auditions from some people who audition for one character where I feel they might be more in line with a character they didn't even try out for. So try it! Give it your best shot!
If you wish for more quick/frequent updates, then I will once again suggest to join the casting discord server. I'm as active as I can be there and will answer whatever questions I can! Have a great day.
The Assessor's are people doing their job as best as they can. They have to ask questions to the subjects and have the most amount of lines considering the fact they communicate with multiple subjects.
His voice is medium low to a lower range, however the primary note is that the Assessor’s voice has to sound calming and relaxing akin to a mentor or parental figure. Striking a balance between powerful and stern when need be, yet calm and captivating in their normal tone.
[casual] “Hello there, thank you for choosing to volunteer with the Reactive Institution. I will be your primary assessor throughout the duration of this experiment. My job here is to ask you a collection of questions, and it is highly encouraged for you to answer as thoroughly as you can. Please confirm if you understand so we can continue.”
[stern, passive aggressive] “If you could please sit down and answer the questions at hand, then we won’t have to be here any longer than we need to be. The choice is in your hands.”
[pleased] “Great! Your cooperation throughout this session was greatly appreciated. Thank you again for volunteering! Have a lovely day. I’ll see you tomorrow.”

Her voice is in the medium to lower range. The primary note still applies; the Assessor’s voice has to sound calming and relaxing akin to a mentor or parental figure. Striking a balance between powerful and stern when need be, yet calm and captivating in their normal tone

He’s typically quite a mild mannered, slightly nervous person. However, he does have a surprising short fuse. This short fuse leads him to blow up on unsuspecting people when they push his buttons enough times.
They’re range resides in a medium to medium high range with an underlying hint of nervousness in each sentence they say.
[embarrassed] “Oh- sorry...” [nervous] “Uh-. I-I’m twenty years old, and I came here because I needed all the help I could get. That’s about it, yeah.”
[ramping up in anger] “I-. Wh-. Are you serious?! I-I’m not going to answer your stupid questions! D-Don’t give me that bullshit! If you want me to answer YOUR questions, then you have to answer MINE first.”
[erratic] “Uncomfortable! I’m incredibly uncomfortable! What do you expect me to say?! I’m not feeling the most at ease when it feels like EVERYTHING is trying to attack me!”
A rather casual, laid back and monotone person. He doesn't seem really bothered by much nor is he really emotive. He seems to just answer in a casual or dry way.
He’s a deeper ranged individual. Medium to Low with a laid back, carefree attitude.
[dry, yet friendly] “Yeah, yeah. I don’t mind. Take your time. I’ll sit and wait. I got all day.”
[casual] “Oh, must’ve forgot. Let me fix that real quick. Sorry about that. Must’ve slipped my mind.”
[confused, surprised] “Huh-?” [casual] “Oh, nice. That was quick. I thought that was going to be longer. See you later.”
An incredibly bratty energetic gremlin of a person who wastes no time in going under people's skin. However over time they do eventually start having their bratty attitude restricted in rather experimental and rather extreme ways in order to reduce their bratty habits.
Her range resides between Medium Low - Medium High. Nothing too high pitched however! Go with a voice you are most comfortable with.
[smug] “Oh-hoho? You’re coming for ME for answers? HAH! Did you think I was going to make this whole thing easy? You WISH dust for brains. You can ask alllll you want. I’m not answering ZIP.”
[self-satisfied] “Yep! That’s right. I was gonna make my own bubble and put down some dumb 'what’s my favorite color' question, however I decided to follow ze rules this time.”
[overly dramatic] “Oh! Yes! Yes I am! There's a guy being MEAN to me! He’s making me feel incredibly distressed and uncomfortable!” [teasing, smug] “You gonna write that one down? I answered it without even dragging it on! You gotta be happy now.”
A highly energetic personality! Ball of energy if you will, who is rather jumpy in person. Though as time goes on, they do start losing their energy and start to be a bit more mild mannered.
They’re range would be between medium low to medium high. If you could then try to attempt being slightly raspier/gravely then that would be great! Not required, but definitely endorsed!
[upbeat] "Sure can-do boss man! Just give me a second and I’ll be rrrrrrright with ya! Just gotta do some eeeeety biiiiity lil tasks and then I’m alllll yours. Thank you for your understanding!"
[positive] “Un-der-stood! I get you, I get you. In that case, I don’t really mind giving you a helping hand! Just- uh. Just don’t be weird. Kay?....Kay!”
[tense, forced upbeat] “H-Huh? O-Oh, y-yeah! I’m all good. E-Everything is fine. Just uh-... probably need sleep or somethin'...Y-Yeah, sleep. That cures everything, yaya?” [nervous laughter]
This is a minor, yet important role that has some extra mystery involved.
This staff member is rather deadpan, and snarky.
Her voice is a gravely medium low to low.
[questioning] “Hey, before I head out - should I know if anything insane is going to happen today? I want to make sure I know what I'm getting into, if you know what I mean.”
[casual] “I’m cool with staying here tonight with you. I don’t have anything to do tomorrow other than this, so I might as well get as much money as I can.”
[calmly] "Nah. I’m not good at talking like that. I’d rather just be wannabe security." [muttered] "Plus, you can’t smell like cigarettes as an assessor."
This is a minor, yet important role that has some extra mystery involved.
This staff member is a more laid back tomboy who is rather lax in terms of handling themselves.
Her voice is around medium to medium low.
[laughing] “I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I should’ve knocked. I didn’t think you were so on edge.”
[friendly] “Great! Thank you so much for being so cooperative. We’d love to see you again in person, so we’ll keep your contact in our higher priority section. Until we meet again, goodbye!”
[stunned] “Wh-! First, you cannot be talking. Second, we’re outside? Probably best to not talk about that?”
