PREDESTINED: an audio fiction

PREDESTINED: an audio fiction

Project Overview

This podcast is an audio fiction that follows Anthony (he/him), Sable (she/her), Angel (they/them), Cole (he/they) and October (she/they). The story focuses on and celebrates the joys of being queer while settling into adulthood still a stone's throw away from where you grew up.

THESE ARE NOT PAID POSITIONS. Given the opportunity, all actors and team members will be compensated, but this is 100% a passion project as of casting.

INCLUDE A VALID WAY TO CONTACT YOU (A DISCORD, AN EMAIL, ETC) IN THE AUDITION NOTES. IF YOU DO NOT, I WILL HAVE NO WAY TO CONTACT YOU. 

YES, YOU ARE 100% FREE TO TRY OUT FOR ANY AND ALL PARTS, AND USING THE "PUT ME ANYWHERE/SMALL PARTS" AUDITION DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY DISCLUDE YOU FROM BEING CONSIDERED FOR A MAIN ROLE. 

Many of these characters are canonically transgender. This is non-negotiable and we will only cast trans people in trans roles. 

This work includes people who are in the LGBTQA+ community using the word "queer". If you are uncomfortable with yourself or others self-describing as "queer" or joking with friends using this word, we ask that you not try out, largely for your own comfort, since this will not be changed.

This also applies to if you are uncomfortable with mentions or the concept of cigarettes or weed. These things are not a focal point, but again, for your comfort.

IF YOU ARE UNDER 17 AS OF DECEMBER 2021, YOU ARE WELCOME TO TRY OUT, BUT YOU WILL BE GIVEN SMALL ROLES ONLY (IF YOU GET A ROLE). 

It is likely that we will be contacting groups of people for call backs to sort out schedules and personal compatibility, probably over Discord. 

We will be working with the voice actors on many character decisions outside of the predetermined plot points. This isn't a job, it's a love letter, so your passion is a crucial part of making this run. We look forward to working with you!

ANTHONY EARHART:

TRANSMASC AND GENDER NON-CONFORMING, HE/HIM PRONOUNS

SCREENPLAY WRITER, VERY PASSIONATE AND FOCUSED ON HIS PROJECTS

LOVES HIS FRIENDS VERY MUCH

  • PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME, AGE, AND PRONOUNS IN YOUR NORMAL CADENCE. PLEASE ALSO STATE WHETHER OR NOT YOU WOULD BE WILLING TO BE CONSIDERED FOR ANOTHER ROLE IF THIS ONE DOES NOT WORK.

  • PLEASE PROVIDE A PERFORMACE OF THE BELOW SAMPLE MONOLOGUE OR A MONOLOGUE OF YOUR CHOICE (with a length of 30 seconds to 3 minutes)

    SAMPLE MONOLOGUE: "Erin Marshall D'Arc"  from Juno Steel and The Promised Land (part 2). 

    It was two hundred years ago when the day came that Erin Marshall D’Arc decided the world just wasn’t worth saving anymore.

    Can’t blame her, really. D’Arc had seen the worst humanity had to offer: a squabble on some other planet turned into a galaxy-spanning barroom brawl, the beginning of the War that would be humanity’s self-destructive story for the next two centuries... and if you asked most people at the time, they’d probably tell you it was the beginning of the end, too. 

    Faced with that – the creeping panic that everything’s about to end, or worse, like we’ve all just proved that everything should end – D’Arc came to the only conclusion left: the world just wasn’t worth saving anymore.

    So she decided to go make one that was worth saving. 

    You’re probably wondering how I know all that. But when you’re at my level, beating back ancient aliens and political assassinations, uncovering centuries-old conspiracies is just part of the job.

    Hell, maybe you’ve heard of me, my name’s Juno Steel, I’m a Private Eye—

    SAMPLE MONOLOGUE: "Steal a Legend" from Juno Steel and The Tools of Rust (part 1)

    (CW: vague mention of past addiction.)

    The blackness of space. The Ruby 7, and me inside it. I find it hardest to empty myself of tension when I am surrounded by so much emptiness — and that is why I sat there, doing just that, because I would need strength for the days to come. One cannot steal a legend for free.

        My fingers ached for the black bag in my glove compartment, the one that was not there and never will be again. They always ache like this, but I do not reach. I touched the thought and let it float past me, and felt that my heartbeat had not changed its pace. And that is when I knew I was ready.

        So I let the world in again.

    (CALM EXHALE)

        And I started the Ruby 7.

    (CW: car accidents, frank discussion of death.)

    SAMPLE MONOLOGUE: "My Parents" : The Bright Sessions, Episode 207. 

    I was in the car with my parents. They were teaching me how to drive. I’d been so reluctant to drive the car anywhere but the parking lot where my dad had been teaching me - the road made me so nervous, driving is so dangerous - and they thought if they both came along, I’d be calmer about it. But I wasn’t. I was driving along the main road, my dad in the back, my mom in the passenger seat, and there were so many cars around, and we were approaching a big intersection and I started to panic, and I think I was yelling to my parents to stop the car because I- I couldn’t, I didn’t know what to do, and they were trying to calm me down because they didn’t understand. They didn’t understand I couldn’t calm down, that I couldn’t control what was about to happen and then- then I went away. I don’t even remember where I went or how long I was gone. But when I came back- when I came back I was in the middle of the road and in front of me in front of me was a huge truck. And it- it had slammed into the car. And my parents - they were dead. My mom had climbed into the driver’s seat to try and drive and if she hadn’t- they were both dead. I killed them.

    SAMPLE MONOLOGUE: "Tom Hardy Moment" from Episode 207, The Bright Sessions.

    Oh, god, yeah, no, no no...I mean, we never- we never talk about that stuff. Which I know is kind of weird for friends - to never talk about dating but. Well, a while ago, we were, like, watching Mad Max and he made some off-handed comment about how hot Tom Hardy is- or well, he clearly wanted it to be off-handed, but he was pretty nervous about it and I just kind of brushed it off. I mean, I made sure he knew I didn’t care and everything but I didn’t make a big deal out of it either. Everyone at school has kind of always known that Adam was gay and I could tell it was something he just wanted to get out of the way, to like, make sure I knew, I guess. And I was still too distracted by balancing everything out at the time to really pay that much attention. Oh, god, I’ve been such a fucking idiot.

    SAMPLE MONLOGUE: "Carl Blank" from Juno Steel and The Mega Ultra-bots of Cyberjustice (part 1).


    All right, Rita. Let’s start this thing from the beginning. And maybe we’ll try tellin’ the truth this time. I guess. 

    The Carl Blank is still all busted up from when we crashed on this planet three days ago. Luckily, we hit the ocean near a deserted island, and everyone’s fine. Even though that’s not as excitin’ a story.

    We got food and water, and there ain’t even any turbosharks or bloody feet. Who knew that life on a planet in the middle of nowhere would be so boring?

    But the Captain says we gotta keep ourselves together. Cuz we might not have flesh-eatin’ sea monsters or starvation, but we do got one thing: each other.

  • This is not a line, but it feels right. I, as the director, need just- a genuine, belly laugh from you as the character line for OCTOBER OLSEN.

    SAMPLE MONOLOGUE: "I see him" from Juno Steel and What Lies Beyond (Part 1)


    Then, in the corner of my eye, I see him. Looking at me as he plays. I feel the space between us so, so clearly -- and all I want to do right now is close it.

        And suddenly I understand. I don't know all the answers to my feelings about him. Probably never will. But for once it feels like I understand where I am. 

        If I feel like I don't know Peter Nureyev... that's just because I want to know him. And I want him to know me.

        And if I feel vulnerable it's because I am vulnerable. Because knowing someone, all of them, means knowing their most painful places, the spots they've bandaged and padded and armored so nobody could ever touch them there again.

        That armor is so, so heavy, and when I look at him I see the promise of relief. The lightness we could feel if we trusted each of us to unbandage the other. To remove that armor plate by plate until we each stand bare, fully vulnerable and fully known.

        And for the first time I can think of, love is not a thing that happened to me. It's a thing I made. Am making. With Peter Nureyev.

        I want to tell him this, all of it, and I don't give a damn anymore about solving his "case" because I want to hear everything he has to say to me whenever he wants to say it.

    SAMPLE MONOLOGUE: "Little part" from Juno Steel and The Time Gone By (Part 2) 

    You can’t change the past. You can’t even change the present, really, because all you’ve got is that little corner of this moment you happen to have your hands on. But that corner? Your little part in this great big present? You can pull that any way you want. And maybe it won’t work, but... hell, if you’ve got it, why not pull? So I ignored the Theia, and I opened the Curemother, and its weird glowing light spilled out into the room.

    I know this all seems a bit scary. This building is big and shiny and more than a little intimidating. But, I promise you - if you give us a chance - you'll find we're not intimidating in the least. We can help you. That's what we do here.

    (beat, then smiling)

    I know, the name can be a bit misleading - The Atypical Monitors - but it's an old name. A holdover from a different time. We don't want to monitor you. We want to make your life better. That's what the AM is for. It's for people like you.
