(MUSIC COMPOSERS NEEDED!) Ruins Of Fendrel: The Dead Man's Journey | AUDIO DRAMA Pilot Episode

Project Overview

(P.S: NOT A PAID PROJECT, THIS IS FOR FUN AND EXPERIENCE ONLY)

WORLD AND PLOT
The World Of Fendrel, a modern civilization in the year 2020, an infectious virus in a meteor shower destroys the world for the worse. Now in the present day of 2025, nature has taken over the leftovers of civilization and made it their own. The ruins of Fendrel are now taken over by the infected undead and roam the lands.

Darian Adams (27) is a lone wolf survivor who finds himself in a pickle with a herd of roamers. He manages to find shelter in an old mansion. Darian finds the comms room and finds a broadcast in which a woman by the name Clara Deadman (25) who is trapped, tells her life story from a highly secure radio station. 


What first was started as a school project and now a pilot episode audio drama, we follow the flashbacks of Clara’s stories and in parallel with Darian’s struggle to keep himself alive when listening into Clara’s broadcast, but to also see Darian change his way of thinking and perspective in life, and their paths aligning together.

Current Cast and what we need

Currently, there is only me as a voice actor, director, writer AND audio editor. But that should be fine, as I mostly just need other voice actors for these characters, and the rest I can take care of! :)

Keep in mind that this is only for the production of the first episode / pilot episode. If all goes well with cast following deadlines, me scheduling in editing and directing, story writing, a decent amount of audience tune in,  then the continuation of producing more episodes will be more possible in the near future! If this happens, then the leading role VA's must know that they can continue voicing the characters in the long haul.

What I expect from the VA's and the auditions

1. A good microphone with minimal echo or noise that would disturb or corrupt the quality of the audio.

2. Always upload in wav. file format when sending in lines

3. Minimal editing of audio files, as I'll do most of the editing. 

4. Don't be late on deadlines.

5. In both auditioning and in voicing the character, always repeat the lines 2-3 times so that I can choose the best recording for final products.

6. Have fun! :D

So if you get casted, the final recordings will have to be sent in wav files. :) you can also Re audition if you feel you can do better or if you decide to reupload your audio file to MP3 :) Good luck everyone! (Also thank you all for finding interest in the project! Appreciated! :D)

  • Character Apperance Profile

    Character Appearance profile is now added to the roles, you can now see how "I" imagine the characters looking like. Keep in mind that since this is an audio drama, these appearances might not even appear in the finished product, but probably on the cover for the audio drama. This is just a reference to what they may look like. again, voices for these are entirely open for interpretation! Good luck y'all :D

Theon Moon is the antagonist in the series. He is the leader of The Moon Family Organization.

Personality: Manipulative, controlling, witty but posh and proper. He really dislikes getting physically dirty, a germaphobe, but if things don’t go his way, he won’t hesitate to do the dirty work himself. He is all about classical music, the Victorian era. He is quite full of himself, proper and elegant, but when he gets desperate, he loses touch and can be more messy and unhinged with murderous intent. 

Voice: Smooth, elegant, medium to dark tone/pitch, gets more shaky and raspy the more unhinged he gets. 

  • *Confident, Malicious yet intrigued, smiling, but passive-aggressive on the word “bullshit”, and more malicious and threatening after ‘chuckle’ *


    “Well, well, well, aren’t you a sight for sore eyes. It was YOU, wasn’t it? It was you who somehow managed to blow up 7 of my outposts, kill 156 of my men, and write these ridiculous rebellious bullshit on the buildings of every damn city we pass through. *chuckle* Well, for the next 5 minutes, I’ll make sure you regret all of that.

  • *Disappointed, manipulative, almost mockingly, then careless “Oh Well” and a grunt when swinging his axe*


    *sigh* “You were so loyal to me, Ronny. You did everything I asked you to do, and you have been such a big part of my organization. You were like a brother to me… Oh well.” *Grunt, chops Ronny with the axe*


    *Few more swinging axe grunts 3-4 takes*


    *sigh of relief / exhaustion, confident, almost out of breath*

    “Phew! What a rush! Alright brothers, clean it up.”

  • *Unhinged, insane, trying to prove a point, desperate yet aggressive tone, shouting*


    “Can’t you see, Darian?! I built ALL of this to take people like you down to the fucking dirt! Why can't any of you see what I see?! A world that needs to be scolded! A world that needs to be PUNISHED! Someone has to do it, and that is going to be ME! AND I WON’T LET SOMEONE BY THE LIKES OF YOU GET IN MY FUCKING WAY!”

This is a VERY big and IMPORTANT role, due to the fact that this whole project is audio based, and music is just as important as the voice acting! Sure, we have the actors and the sound effects, but nothing tells the story better than the music itself! You are making the music for THE WHOLE SERIES. I'll of course be pitching ideas and feedback to whatever you will be creating, working together with you to get the right tone, rhythm and feeling to the music, so you're not alone in this! We will be communicating very often when pitching ideas and creating the songs! I'll make sure you don't get completely lost and confused in what you make, haha! ^^

The genre of music I'm looking for is cinematic soundtrack music! I'm talking about action thrilled scenes, chase scenes, creepy horror music, sad scenes, mysterious, ambience music, orchestra like music, emotional scenes that rips your heart strings apart! Music themes for different vital characters. And of course a theme song for the whole series!

The general type of music / vibe I'm looking for is very often apocalyptic, something along the inspirations from The Last Of Us 1 OST, Days Gone, and The Walking Dead OST. What these inspirations have in common is the melody and the tone of desolation, nothingness, sometimes using old/single live played guitars and other strings. Most of the time it's also dark country and rock, even!

There are of course orchestra kind of music, but we want to keep that red thread of that desolate feeling, reminding the viewers that this world is lost, out of time. Now, this red thread of desolation doesn't always have to sound dark and depressing, 'cause there are also some nice things of it all too, like seeing the beauty of the nostalgic ruins of Fendrel. Seeing how nature has taken over everything and blossomed over the destruction of mankind, and also that there aren't JUST monsters in this world.

I apologize for the long description for this role, the nutshell of this is that you have to understand the feeling of this world, the characters, the desolate feeling, all kinds of cinematic soundtrack traits, and YOU are the one that is going to compose the music into REALITY! You and me will be communicating very often to get the songs in the right tone, rhythm and feeling!

THIS IS HOW YOU AUDITION

Send in EITHER:
1. A link / several links of your work. (This one is a must and should be posted on the other options too. If you don't have link(s), then I guess you have no choice but to go with the other options, lol.)
2. A cinematic song / soundtrack you are most proud of. The best you've made!
3. Attempt to make example song(s) for Dead Man's Journey with the use of the description I've made above (The general type of music and the genre of the overall soundtrack).

If you have any questions regarding this role, don't hesitate to contact me on discord: AnimaCron#2128
and I'll respond very shortly and try to answer as best as I can! ^^

In this role, you'll be illustrating the thumbnails for the audio drama. Drawings that shows a certain moment of that episode OR a whole drawing that shows everything that one episode is about. You will also help with visualizing and designing the characters that will be on the thumbnails.
I am looking for someone who can manage to draw in unique angles, great details, good with compositing effects onto the drawings (lighting, shading, particles and etc), and draws in a (somewhat) semi realistic cartoon art style (anime artstyle can also be an option). I also hope to find someone who can deliver on time, or wont take `too much time on creating said drawings / designs. ^^

Role assigned to: Sarah Jenn

Personality: Clara is an optimistic person and finds humor and beauty in most things. She is open to trying to understand people’s perspectives and beliefs, and often tends to give people second chances. Though in some cases, being in a tight situation for a long period of time demoralizes her and makes her start to lose hope.

Voice: Warm, mature tone, medium pitch

  • *she adjusts herself on her chair, tired*

    *sighs*

    “Hello, Fendrel, this is Clara Deadman, day 6 of being stuck in this god forsaken radio station. I uhh… Managed to fix that issue with the biters breaking in and I barricaded most of the windows, and I say ‘most’ because I don’t wanna rot in here in the damn dark, so having SOME open windows may just keep me sane for a little while longer.”

  • *demoralized, sad, disappointed*

    “This studio feels like it’s getting smaller and smaller as time goes by. There is NOT a single day where I feel comfortable being around here. It’s safe,sure, but It’s also not.. I can’t leave this place.. Not with this biter horde just outside that door. There’s no fighting chance that I’ll be gettin’ outta here alive.”

  • *Gets louder/surprised as she says “hello”, confused, curious, in shock*

    “Wh- Hello? Did someone just say.. Hello? Hello?! Can you hear me? Hello?!... I’m..I’m not going crazy, am I? Please, anyone out there, prove me wrong!

Role assigned to: LegGoblin

Personality: He is stubborn and very independent, usually likes to be by himself due to trust issues from past experiences with other groups and people. Doesn’t like taking orders from anyone. He isn’t much for negotiating with his enemies (nor anyone, really), he would rather get rid of them or never see them again. Darian also tends to talk to himself quite often, as he used to be a very social person, but now he just doesn't really have anyone but himself to talk to.

Voice: Southern american accent, medium to low pitch/tone, rough and raspy. (voice and accent is completely open for interpretation)


Voice example: Norman Reedus as Striker in HELLUVA BOSS EP. 5 STRIKER ALL MOMENTS (P.S: take notice in the rasp and pitch, rather then the personality of Striker)

    “Great job, Darian, you pissed off another herd. Man, I gotta stop using that damn gun!”


  • *stands next to the door with his gun ready. Serious, intimidating, angry, shouting*

    “You listen here, assholes! Leave this place alone, or you won’t be alive to see another day.”

  • *Talking to Clara through the mic, honest, vulnerable, serious, guilty feeling*

    “I uhh, don’t really like talking about my past.. I’ve done some nasty shit I ain’t proud of. Shit that I have never managed to get outta my head.”
