Project STELLAR Season 1B
Project Overview
Siblings Mike and Marie King are fresh out of school, ready for their usual run-of-the-mill summer vacation. However, close encounters of the freaky kind throw a wrench in their plans. Looks like they're not as alone in the universe as they thought.
Welcome to Project STELLAR! (Again!)
And so we return for Season 1B! Check out Season 1A on iTunes (and by extension, various podcast apps), YouTube, or our website to get a feel for the show, because things are going to get interesting. Please read through the instructions below carefully before auditioning!
Some things to know:
-
•
This is an unpaid project. We do not make money from this, nor can we pay you. We’re doing this for fun. But hey, you'll have something for your demo reel! - • Please have Skype for rehearsals!
- • The rehearsal times are determined by you, the actors. When you see that you’ll have free time, we'll set up a time to work.
- • Rehearsals will be recorded for your benefit, as well as for editing purposes. It lets me get a feel for the timing of the lines in post-production.
- • There aren't necessarily deadlines for rehearsals, but there are definitely ones for getting your lines in.
- • Because this is technically an amateur project, we ask that you be patient with us during production. It will be slow at times, but we're not going to ghost you!
Regarding Auditions:
- • These characters listed are like "guest stars", meaning they (probably) only appear for one or two episodes. It is to your advantage to display a wide range of character voices, and to audition for multiple roles.
- • Multiple takes are more than welcome, but only a max of three per character.
- • Use your normal voice for the first take, but after that, be bold in your vocal choices. As long as you can justify why you think the character would sound like that, give it a go!
- • All and any accents welcome!
- • Please submit clean recordings.
- • Please make sure that your microphone can handle loud sounds/effort noises (yelling, grunting, etc), because there will be action scenes!
- • There is adult language used, but if you are cast and are uncomfortable with it, we will adjust accordingly.
-
•
You might be considered for roles that you do not audition for.
- • If you want to audition for a character opposite your gender, do it! Some of these aren't necessarily set in stone.
Note that most of these are not the characters' real names; also, descriptions are somewhat sparse because we need to keep a tighter wrap on the details, even thought this is a public audition. The less spoilers, the better!
Please send us a message if you have any questions. We will respond in a timely manner. Good luck!

Adira is one of Dr. Dangerfield's subjects at IRIS. She has no love for the organization, and might just be willing to do whatever it takes to be free of them. Did we mention she's got super powers?
You honestly think I’d want to be here of my own choice? Do you see what they do to people here? Do you? Because I’m starting to think that you’ve been drinking too much Kool-Aid over the years. No one in their right mind would put up with this. You had a choice, Vern. Okay? Your parents cared enough about you to give you this choice. Mine? Mine were just…you know what? Forget it. Forget I said anything. I can see I’m not getting through to you. So go back to your meal, Vern. Enjoy that sweet, sweet Kool-Aid while it lasts. Because one day? It’s not just gonna be Kool-Aid in your cup.
Wait, wait, keep it down, he’ll hear us. I’m not spying. It’s not spying if he’s talking too loud for me to ignore. Get off my case. I’m not here on purpose. I just needed to stretch my legs for a little while, okay? I know they let us pick our rooms, but I made a mistake when I chose to bunk with Sophie and Lou and them. They don’t know when to shut up.
Just leave me alone. I don’t want to talk about it…no, wait. I’m sorry. It’s just, they told me she called again today. And you’re probably going to say, why didn’t you take the call? I just can’t. I can’t bring myself to love her, and I can’t bring myself to hate her. She doesn’t know what she sent me into, but I don’t want her to know. I don’t want her pity, and I don’t want her to start acting like the mother she never was. Because that’s all it’ll be. An act.
A jock who wants to party day and night - sometimes without thinking about the consequences. Mike King puts up with him because they're teammates and old friends (though he uses the latter term loosely).
Anyway, I told my parents to clear out, so they took a trip out of town, and now I have the whole house to myself - wanna smoke? No? Your loss, man. It's from my personal store. Nothing better than homegrown, ya know?
Party at my house tonight. Wanna come? You didn’t show up to the last one. C'mon, it'll be awesome! At least I’m having fun. You’d rather stay holed up in your house every day when you don’t have work. Is that how you want to remember this summer? Or do you want to actually have a social life for once?
Look, I don't know what happened to the little freak, and I don't wanna know. All I'm going to say is that I'm glad he's gone. Weirdo was more trouble than he was worth. Now either get your ass on the field, or keep warming the bench and shut up.
The uncle of Kalani, generally recognized as an important figurehead in her family here on Earth. He usually sounds quite smooth and oily, borderline villainous on occasion, due to his bigoted, spiteful nature regarding humans and just about everything good around him - however, lately he seems to have turned over a new leaf.
This all started with you. You’re a child of both worlds. You couldn’t help that, and I was too proud to acknowledge it. Now I realize that you are probably struggling to find where you belong. There is no one in our family like you, not here.
I just want to be there for my family. I’m trying to make amends tonight. I haven’t hurt anyone, and if...if you truly intend to take me, then at least wait until the night is over. I want to see my daughter married again. I’ll come quietly if it’s just me. Just don’t hurt them. You’ve taken two of my daughters already. Isn’t that enough?
Kalani! Please, sit! I don’t think I’m welcome at the head table. And the staff is quite nice. They let me sample a little dessert early. Would you like some? The jelly parfaits are absolutely delectable!
Hin's daughter, Kalani's cousin. She's just been married and would like to survive the reception without any issues cropping up. If only she could bring herself to believe that her father's attempts at making amends were genuine. It's going to be a long night.
Why should you be sorry? I got to meet the love of my life. Moving here was the best thing that ever happened to me. What about you? Settling for a nice friend of the family? Seems like the usual thing to do...or are your tastes more human? Oh, so that's it! Well, dish! What's he like?
Screw the ceremony. That’s just a stupid thing Dad wanted me to go through with so I could "always remember who I was". I know who I am. And I don’t need his judgement hanging over me for the rest of my life.
It’s like his sole purpose is to hurt people now. He leaves a trail of misery, hurts people, hurts the people I love - well, it’s not fair! I didn’t ask to be brought here! I didn’t ask to fall in love! I didn’t ask to be stuck here because of some stupid mistake! Because of you! You are the mistake!
A clumsy, lovable goofball who likes food and joking around, and hates when people fight. Especially family.
You have made my best friend smile more than I have ever seen in all my years growing up with him. I think I was a little jealous at first, because that spot was originally reserved for me. But I would gladly give it up to you if it meant that he got to smile like that for the rest of his life.
He's sleeping now. Don't worry, he'll be fine. Probably just food poisoning. You just found him passed out like that? No, no, don't be sorry! But if that was your assassination attempt, you've got a long way to go. Sloppy, sloppy, slo - ow! Kidding.
I know we're not on the best of terms, but you're family now. So, yes, I'd like to. Um. Let's just sit. And share a drink. Or whatever it is mature adults do. And talk, we should probably talk. Should I call you "Dad", or - no? Okay, Hector it is, great.
An alien, early twenties by human count, but he can sound somewhat older, as is the nature of his species. Fierce, proud, and gruff. Possibly socially awkward, but that could be because he's not human and doesn't comprehend their stupid customs. He and his kind have this pesky habit of thinking themselves to be superior to a majority of beings in the galaxy. Does he have tendencies to be cruel and villainous? Possibly. Definitely.
Idiots! You played right into his hands. Did you ever once stop to consider that perhaps I was the unwitting bait? Now he has full control of the ship, and he intends to take his leave. You don't honestly think he'd sit around and wait for you to strike, do you? Whatever befalls you and your friends, it is well-deserved. Such stupidity has no right to exist in this universe.
I stopped finding beauty in the stars long ago. They are an unforgiving wasteland of cold fire. No being was meant to traverse them alone, unless they had a death wish...I think I only survive because I am stubborn. Or so my sister tells me.
I dislike being in debt, least of all to lesser creatures such as yourself. So listen carefully: you will accept my help wherever I see fit, and when I have paid the price in full, we will part and never cross paths again. Do you understand? Now hold still. This is going to hurt a lot.
An alien, Niir's cousin, and a total d-bag. An excuse could be made based on the fact that it's how he was raised, and his personality is a byproduct of his twisted society, but chances are he'd be just as vile and cold without all that. A powerful, charismatic voice that demands the attention of a room, even if he whispers.
You inconsequential insects! You have no idea what you've just done! I should put you out of your misery...then again, money is money. You seem healthy enough. I suppose you'd fetch a decent price at Nicodema. I've hear that feisty slaves are all the rage in the markets nowadays. It makes breaking them in far more satisfying. And as for you, cousin...well, I can think of quite a few who would pay a pretty skarn for your head.
I'll admit, for a couple of Rongo Class organisms, I didn't expect you to get this far. Congratulations. You caught me. I suppose I can still be surprised - watch where you point that thing, brat. You'd do well to remember that cornered animals can sometimes have some fight left in them.
You misunderstand our nature again. It's what got you in trouble the first dozen times. The strong live long, and the weak are quick to sleep. The next time you see one of us fall, you leave them behind. I do not care if it is your friend, your lover, or your thrice-damned sister - if they haven't the strength to drag themselves up, then they don't deserve to be dragged along. Now return to your quarters.
An unregistered alien mother who has been around the block plenty of times. Her past experiences have made her wary of many things in life, but even she knows when to relax. The safety of her family takes precedent over her own life. She's become somewhat of a figurehead in her community.
So you're the kids who've been running rampant through the streets. It's nice to meet you - well, of course we've heard of you. How could we not with all those funny videos you've been posting? We have our eyes and ears on the net too, you know. Come in, it's too hot to be having this conversation in the sun. Want some Jello?
We had an agreement! If you had come to us first, this could have all been avoided. That's the problem with you colonists. You think you can waltz in here and take charge just because you think you understand the guidelines, but now you're going to have a hell of a lot more trouble on your hands than it's worth!
The world is not as black and white as you think. Your agent friends will come to realize that soon enough. They're not from around here, I can tell. They think we all fit into some little box, but it's never that simple. The rules always manifest on a case-by-case basis. You must be flexible in your thinking. If you can't adapt quickly enough...who knows what might happen?
Various kiddos who belong to an unregistered alien community. They don't necessarily have to sound like tots. Sounding like pre-teens is absolutely acceptable. Have at it!
Where're you going? You can't just leave us! What kind of adult are you? Besides, my mom says you have to take us with you because you owe her a big favor...or maybe she said she owes you...I don't remember. We're coming with.
Let go of me, I didn't do anything! Ow, ow, okay, fine, fine! Geez! Maybe I saw them and maybe I didn't - ow, okay, I did! They were really big and purple, just like - yeah. Like them. But lemme tell ya, they weren't acting like I heard they're supposed to. They were...weird. I dunno, just weird! Get off my case!
Jaku, his name is Jaku. He's my best friend. I showed you a picture, he's on the list, remember...? He wasn't on board? Are you sure that's everyone...? That can't be right. There were a lot more people who went missing than this, Dad said so. There have to be more up there! If there aren't - if this is all of them...then where's Jaku?
