Taking Care

Project Overview

This is series is being completely created (writing, filming, etc.) by EtherealDwarf.

Taking Care is a tragicomic coming-of-age tale following the lives of retired Navy SEAL Clyde Christensen, and Arkis, his adopted son with cerebral palsy. Their journey is narrated by the humorous mind of “Nameless,” as Arkis once knew himself, who struggles to understand his mental and physical health with HIV while also finding a place in the world after repetitive abandonment to foster cares across the country. To his hopeless surprise, it turns out a veteran and a ten-year-old have more in common than he would’ve ever imagined.

**Voice over work for this project is not continuous work. OP films scenes (of a duration of 2 to 10 minutes) sporadically which could range from a three-week difference to up to two or more months. You will occasionally receive a nervous email containing the scene script followed by a two-week deadline based on the chapter's duration (which typically are not long). These are not episodes that require a dedicated schedule.**

Note: This character speaks Arabic and English. English is his dominant language, but there will scarcely be lines when he speaks in Arabic. Auditioners do not need to know how to speak Arabic to play this character. Audtioners only need to be able to mimic the accent; it is okay if it is not perfect because neither is this character's.



  • (prompt/happy) "Hey there, squeaky wheels. I heard you coming from all the way down the hallway."

  • (humorous/disbelief) "Do you know how many times Clyde's got on my ass for literally just cursing?"

  • (hurt/quiet) "Every time we traveled, he searched my bags and took any lighters that I had."
