PARESIS - Casting Call C
Project Overview
What is PARESIS?
PARESIS is a horror/mystery audio drama that blends the supernatural and the psychological to explore hunger, obsession, and the erosion of one's sense of self.
We are currently in the early stages of development. At this time, production is finishing up casting and organizing crowdfunding efforts. This will be our last round of casting for part 1.
Who are we looking for?We are looking to fill the rest of the roles for part 1, consisting of a few minor roles and several bit roles. This is a long term project, as some characters are slated to return in part 2. Please keep that in mind if you decide to audition.
What do we need from you?All we need from you at this stage is your audition, but feel free to include any other information you want us to know about you or your setup.
REQUIREMENTSMust be 18+
Must have Discord
Clear audio quality (no background noise)
1-3 takes of each line (ABCABC format preferred)
Currently, our team is focused on getting crowdfunding efforts organized. As soon as our Kickstarter campaign is complete, we'll get down to recording.
If cast, you will be added to a Discord server where we will discuss further. For these roles, recording will be done on an individual basis.
PAYMENTRecording for paid roles will take place once we are able to secure funding. If we don't reach our Kickstarter goal, we'll be looking into alternative crowdfunding methods, which may cause a delay in our recording schedule.
SOME NOTESWe will NOT be casting early on this project! You have until the deadline to submit your auditions, but we will not be considering any submissions that come in after the deadline.
NO experience is required to submit. We are a small team, and this is a passion project. We are more than happy to give amateurs and hobbyists a chance.
There will be NO AI of any kind used in this project.
If you have any questions, feel free to message us here on CCC or on our other socials!

Minor role in part 1, planned to return in part 2.
Any gender. A reporter on TV.
The TV Reporter should have that typical reporter cadence, like an anchor on the local news station.

The body has since been recovered and transferred to the city morgue. Local police elected not to provide a statement when asked by our field reporter.
As of right now, the body has yet to be identified, and is still considered a Jane Doe.
Officials are scrambling to get their heads on straight, but their efforts at damage control have left many wondering just how "under control" the situation really is.
Minor role in part 1. Potential return in future parts.
A middle aged woman.
The owner and manager of the local motel, and our main character's employer. She is known for her stern, no-nonsense attitude and fierce defense of her clients and employees.
Mrs. Woods has a very flat tone, as though she is perpetually displeased. She often sounds impatient, but she genuinely cares for the people under her employ.

Say what you need to say or get back to work.
His room's paid for. That's all we care about, Rowan. Anything more than that, we only tell if it's the police asking-- and only if they have a warrant.
Terrible. That poor girl can't catch a break, even in death.
Minor role in part 1, potential return in future parts.
A middle aged woman.
A mother. Under normal circumstances, she is a classy and level-headed woman. By the time we meet her, she is overwhelmed by grief.
Mrs. Noble should sound a little frayed around the edges, like she's fighting hard to hold it together after a great loss.

What the hell is she doing here? You have no right to be here!
You're sorry. You think that means anything to me? You were there with him that night-- you could've stopped him!
Get out. Get away from him!
Minor role in part 1, planned to return in part 2.
The younger brother of one of the main characters. A trans man who isn't fully out to his family, but it's pretty obvious. He works at one of the local gas stations, and generally views it as a dead end. He is largely resigned to the idea of never leaving his hometown.
Cameron should have a low, flat voice. He should sound disinterested in most things, with a flare of teenage attitude.

Graduated this year. Workin' at the gas station now.
Easy for you to say. You been workin' at the diner for years. Cushiest job in town.
Uh, yeah, he totally does. He talks about you more than Birdie does-- and I live with her, so I hear her talk a lot.
Bit role in part 1. Potential return in part 2
A middle aged woman.
Cameron's mother. A little neglectful and not entirely understanding of her oldest children's struggles with gender and sexuality. Skeptical of tourists.
Dana should sound a little rough around the edges. She doesn't have that typical "motherly" cadence, and instead should sound grounded and a little tired.

Hm? Oh, Desmond! Good to see you, son-- are you doin' alright?
Terrible, isn't it? We've lived here for a long time and never seen anything like this.
I don't envy you kids. This town was better off when I was your age. Back then, we...
Bit role, just a few lines.
Male, middle-aged. A political official giving a statement.
The City Official should sound professional and somber, like he is addressing a serious topic of public concern.

There's no question that we're dealing with a sick individual. We assure you, we are doing everything we can to bring this person to justice.
In the effort of preserving the integrity of the ongoing investigation, the details of this case are to be kept private for the time being.
We have no reason to believe that this was in any way connected to the other tragic deaths we've seen in the past year. At this time, this is considered an isolated incident.
Bit role in part 1, planned to return in future parts.
The protagonist's mother. She is a competent and capable woman, heard briefly in a flashback. Incredibly protective of her children, but with high expectations of them.
She should sound a little tired and exasperated, but largely put-together.
- all american accents
- female adult
She doesn't need counseling. What she needs is-- (pauses, sighs) I don't know what she needs.
Not right now, Rowan.
I just don't know what to do with her. She doesn't listen to me. She doesn't listen to anyone!
Two bit roles, one line each.
Any age, any gender.
Two reporters in a press hearing, shouting over the chatter.

What happened to the body?
Is there a serial killer on the loose?
Bit roles, just a few lines in part 1. Potential return in part 2.
