Strixhaven Week 4
Project Overview
Wizards of the Coast has begun releasing online web fiction for Magic: the Gathering once again! It is our goal on the Voice of All podcast to bring these stories to life through audio.
This week we are casting for roles in one Strixhaven chapter: The Mentor. Strixhaven is their newest set focusing on the tropes of magical schools and we have many major roles to cast. You can read the stories here:

If you're interested in hearing our past works, you can listen to all of them here:

We can also be found on Spotify, Soundcloud, Stitcher, YouTube, iTunes, and Google Podcasts! We are looking to keep up with the release of Wizards' stories as best as possible and will release our version the second following Friday, so expect to be cast this week and have your lines to me within a few days. This schedule may be slightly different for the time being as they are releasing two stories a week, but our schedule will remain one a week.
As a general casting note, I do not typically have any voice requirements in mind for characters. I would much rather hear your interpretations and choose from among them.
Payments listed are for this particular set of stories. If they appear in future chapters, the value there may differ based on number of lines, but all chapters will be paid. All chapters and characters will be paid at once near the end of the set's production.

Asterion is a long dead spirit, brought back to inhabit a statue as Quintorius' mentor. In life he was a foppish, small time noble and in death he is much the same, more eager to talk with Quint about his favorite way to enjoy a scone and his annoyance with small dogs than he is to discuss any serious topics.
Despite all this, he cares deeply and is loyal to those he feels for, regardless of their social station. His final act in life was to go out and fulfill a friend's lifelong request after they were wrongly executed. With Quint, he will finally fulfill that promise.
"Quint, my good loxodon! I'd been thinking about your question from our last discussion, and my answer is I absolutely would love to." [Cheerful and pompous. Importantly, Quint did not actually ask him anything]
"That proves my point. Sure, you'll find a few shards of pottery, a rusted weapon or two, probably left by travelers as a practical joke on blowhards like your professors."
"Vis was a good man. But everyone has a past. Some celebrate theirs. Others run away. Vis cared for me until I took over my father's lordly duties when he became too infirm to travel. I visited towns, administered to village councils. That sort of thing. I wasn't very suited to it. Let's just say that it was hard for me at the time to empathize with those who had so little. But I played my part because I had to. One day when I was out at a border village, I received a communiqué from my mother telling me that Vis had been arrested." [Telling his lost friend's sad tale]
Hofri Ghostforge is a dwarven professor of arachaeomancy (magic archaeology) and Quint's project lead. He is kind and wise and has a sharp eye for anything strange or out of place.
"Quintorius? Why are you not back at campus?"
"Why don't you join us by the fire? Stay for a while, have some tea. Then you can get your toolkit and return home."
"We didn't see eye to eye ever. What did she say about me? Oh, yes. 'I was informed that you had artistic experience! But what I got was a hopeless dullard who besmirches the entire pursuit of creativity! I wish nothing but ill fates for you and your distant kin.' All because I couldn't tell mauve from turquoise." [speaking of his old mentor]
