Sounds of Silence
Project Overview
3 years has passed since the disappearance of June's brother, Danny, and she still can't quite come to terms with it. With her mother's mental health spiral landing her in the looney bin and her father's insistence their son has passed, she can't handle the mystery any longer. In a desperate attempt for answers she takes off in a mad search for him, uncovering a part of Danny she didn't know existed.
RULES
1. I give 6 weeks for lines once you have a script, please be able to meet those deadlines. I'm always willing to give extensions as long as they're asked for.
2. Repeat each line 3 times and then include a scream/laugh/cry reel
3. Have fun I guess. ;))
I'm looking to cast these characters ASAP but the casting call will close April 28th
This story means so much to me and I'm so excited to bring it back after years of rewriting it and making it a better story all around. I can't wait to hear your auditions and if you have any questions, comments, or concerns please don't hesitate to contact me. :)

He's a character that has seemingly all the confidence in the world. He holds himself higher than most of the people he meets. A previously aspiring artist, he had once taken his craft incredibly serious. Though once meeting Lex, his current obsession, she changes his view almost entirely. He's a suave, and alluring type of guy, though incredibly gullible underneath that front.
(Sinister/Taunting) Screaming will do nothing for you.
(Smiling/Warm) Name's Isaac, I live across the hall.
Scream/Laugh/Cry
She's a hardass. A takes-no-shit kind of person. She cares deeply about those she's close with and will do absolutely anything to keep them safe. She's a strong willed and incredibly head strong person with opinions that are unchanging. She would rather pick a fight most of the time.
(Annoyed) You're a real piece of shit, you know that?
(Scoff) He was already dead, I didn't pluck him off the fucking street.
Scream/Laugh/Cry
Luna has experienced an immense amount of trauma, and because of that she is incredibly soft spoken and often acts out in ways people aren't expecting. She doesn't like the company of strangers but will tolerate them if she has no other choice. She's terrified of the future and doesn't usually speak unless she trusts someone or is directly spoken to.
(Scared) Where are we going?
(Soft/Timid) I stole it... (Pause) It seemed like something that would help at the time...
Scream/Laugh/Cry
June's mother. After the loss of her son her mind began to spiral.. She seems aware in one moment and unaware in the next. Her triggers often include any time Danny is mentioned. She doesn't remember much from her life prior to being hospitalized including her own daughter, though she does remember having a son, just not his name. This character will scream and yell a decent amount.
(Confused) I suppose the years have made my memories fragile... (Pause/Light hearted) They often break now days.
(Snapping) The flesh eaters! (Whine) my baby... my poor baby... (Use your imagination, go crazy) I'm sure they ate him up! Yes they did! Every piece of precious meat from his bones. They make him suffer, they make him watch!
Scream/Laugh/Cry
June's father. He comes off as an asshole most days, though it's unintentional. His means of coping are drowning himself in his job. After losing both his son and his wife he has left the relationship with his daughter dangerously rocky. He still tries, but it mostly falls on deaf ears as he has done too little too late.
(Parenting the fuck outta June) You shouldn't go to see her, it's too painful for you. I can see it.
(Sigh) You have to stop with this nonsense, June.
