Radio Drama Podcast

Project Overview

I am adapting my novel into a radio drama to be released as a podcast. The first episode only has 3 characters, but the entire novel has around 20 or so. I want to start by producing the first episode and see how I feel before proceeding with the entire series. If all goes well, I will be conducting many casting calls and using the voice actors over an extended period of time. 


When auditioning, please submit a recording of all 3 lines. The tone of the story is somewhat dark, but it needs to feel natural. 


Here is a brief synopsis of the story: 





Nothing is the story of Charles Hill, a confessed murderer who turns himself in after two high-profile killings. Locked in an interrogation room with a psychiatrist and a detective, Charles is asked to reveal the location of his victims' bodies. But before Charles tells the police what they want to know, he first has to tell them his side of the story, a story he needs them to believe.

 

Charles tells of a future world where humanity has created a utopia, a civilization hidden from a dangerous environment, protected by faith, God, and aristocrats like himself. But Charles wants nothing to do with his society, with his privileged life, a suffocating world that has given him nothing but despair.

 

As Charles resists the obligations of his society, he meets a man whose past reveals the dark origins of his world, a past deeply entwined with his own. Charles is forced down a path that ignites the political and religious frailties of an unbelievable utopia, a path that leads him to a different world, our world, where the only hope for our future lies in the faith we place in the words of a murderer.



Thank you for taking the time to read this casting call. I'm so excited to hear what everyone brings to the table! Thanks!

Role assigned to: Christina Nicholls

Kay is a forensic psychotherapist in charge of evaluating the lead character, a man who recently confessed to two brutal murders. She is very compassionate, yet she works hard to maintain a sense of professionalism and even a feigned sense of coldness in order to counteract the perceived judgements of her male coworkers. She doesn't want to seem weak, but she also doesn't want to compromise her work by not showing care for her patients.

    I apologize for our session being so short yesterday. I'm hoping today we can have more time to get to know one another.

  • I printed out some news articles you asked for, just some pieces from the past 20 years.

Ballard is the lead detective on a high profile murder case. Charles, the lead character, confessed to the murders.
