Smoke and Mirrors
Project Overview
information:
Hi everyone!
This is a casting call for a series that I’ve become extremely passionate about and have been developing recently, known as Smoke and Mirrors. It will be a Sims 3 Voice Over Film (not series, and I do have some ideas for a sequel if it earns positive feedback. I’m open to everything).
Since it is a film, I will need voice actors who are reliable. Deadlines can be super stressful when they’re lingering over you for weeks, and I’ll be sure to be flexible with extensions of any kind. I do voice acting of my own and understand completely!
As far as rules go, do whatever pleases you. Understand that a good microphone is appealing, but just overall have fun with the audition. I’m not a serious person at all. A lot of times I approach auditions wondering if I should be professional or just have fun with it, and I’m telling you guys to have fun with it. Include any shitty bloopers, I’ll gladly take them ♥
Note: For characters, I’m only providing two main characters (with their appearance in the video), however there are so many “supporting”, reoccurring characters. I haven’t created their appearances in the game yet because I’ve been too excited to put out this casting call. For all of the characters, I will provide a brief biography of course on who they are and why they’re important/crucial to the story line. Along with supporting characters, I have many extras. So please don’t feel intimidated by the whole “only two main characters”, and feel like you shouldn’t audition because you don’t think you’ll get it. YOU’RE WRONG.
plot:
I sat down on my bed with a composition book in my lap and a pen in my hand, wondering what I wanted this series about. I knew I wanted it to be something that occurred in only one afternoon and an entire night. I was inspired by the movie “Before We Go” (it’s on Netflix, go watch it), where two strangers seemingly meet in one night and take on the conflicts that occur, all while trying to help each other.
I took that inspiration and morphed it into my own. Eden Clark recently moved to Los Angeles to try and get away from her mother, residing in San Diego. Due to a past relationship, Eden became a bit sheltered around guys. She decided to take up online dating, as a way to message someone, simply words, to get to know them a bit better before actually meeting. From there, she meets a guy named Troy. Little does she know, when a simple visit to a local coffee house, she sees the exact same guy on Troy’s profile. But it’s not Troy.

Julie is Eden’s mother. Her husband passed away 3 years prior to the film, and as a result, she took up substance abuse during Eden’s early high school years. She constantly pushed away her daughter one second, then was pulling her back in. It was never constant. Eden moved out at age 18, but to Julie, she kicked out her “troubled” teenager. She’s constantly trying to get Eden’s attention, to bring her back to San Diego, the place where in Julie’s eyes, she needs to be.
Eden, everything I’ve ever done for you is for the good.
I never meant for this to get out of hand to this extent, you know that right?
Honey, I know I’ve sent you hundreds of voicemails at this point, but just call me. You belong back home, not in some foreign city.
Nate Carter is Eden’s ex-boyfriend from high school. They dated for two years. After Eden’s father passed away, she didn’t know how to cope with it, so she continuously distanced herself from her friends, including her boyfriend, Nate. They had a healthy relationship, until Eden was strongly affected by her missing father figure, always lingering but not actually there. Nate didn’t like this, nor did he understand at the time. He accidentally slapped her, from getting too heated, and Eden walked away from him. She never came back.
Eden, please. You know I’d never intentionally try to hurt you. EDEN? Eden, please. Please just come back.
Baby, just call me back. I won’t stop. I won’t give up, not for you. I love you. I love you, Eden Clark. Please.
(Drunk) Eden…. E- den. I know what I did that night. I’m not saying it was okay. Hell, it was my worst moment. But I will never… ever… stop loving you.
(There will be a lot of random extras in the film, so I need as many as I can get!)
Self-explanatory, random extra roles!
Eden, you know I have no say in this. We’re laying you off, for good. You’re done.
Welcome! Feel free to seat yourself.
Who the fuck are you? Don’t even put your hands on her, or I swear to god I’ll--
Eden Clark is one of the main characters. Protagonist. 18 years old. She recently graduated high school and wants to become a journalist for a travel magazine to escape her destructive mother. She lives in downtown Los Angeles. She has a complicated past regarding her parents and which later transferred into a past relationship.
Holy shit, Troy. It’s me… Eden? I can’t believe this. I swore it was you so I had to come over obviously. I mean I knew you lived in Southern California I should’ve known that we’d run into each other. You want to get some lunch or something? This is too weird.
Nolan, I don’t know how I feel about this. I should just block his number and call it a day, part ways with you, and order pizza at my apartment.
Look, I appreciate you unintentionally embarrassing me and telling me the truth about this Troy guy, but I’m sure as hell not going to try to find this guy with you.
Nolan Miller is the second main character; also the protagonist. He’s 19 years old and has grown up in Los Angeles all his life. He’s extremely passionate about film and screenwriting, after an accident with his brother. He meets Eden, due to an awkward encounter, where she mistakes him for her catfish-er.
It’s Eden, right? Look, you seem like a nice girl, don’t get me wrong. But to be completely honest with you, I have no fucking clue what you’re talking about.
Should I be creeped out or cocky knowing that this guy used my pictures?
Eden, if he saw us together, he’d immediately know what’s up. The girl he’s catfishing, talking to the guy who he’s pretending to be? I’d rather not deal with that right now.
Kelli Mason is a longtime crush of Nolan’s. She graduated with Nolan’s senior class and was fairly popular in high school. She never really knew Nolan or paid attention to him. She overall has good intentions.
Nolan, I think you should go. Like now.
I’m flattered, I appreciate you telling me all of this, but… I don’t know what you expect me to say?
