Nine for the Tomb - A Locked Tomb Fan Podcast [SPOILERS FOR THE ENTIRE LOCKED TOMB SERIES]

Nine for the Tomb - A Locked Tomb Fan Podcast [SPOILERS FOR THE ENTIRE LOCKED TOMB SERIES]

Project Overview

Nine for the Tomb is a fan podcast created by me (Jelly/Jack!!), which intends to take scenes from Tamsyn Muir’s The Locked Tomb series and convert them into audio drama format. It is the first podcast I’ve ever created, and I am excited to be directing it as well! I will be providing feedback on auditions as they’re submitted, because I love to hear them!


I am casting for several lead roles, including Gideon and Harrowhark, and secondary roles a bit later on, like Abigail Pent. Please note that three roles have already been cast offsite (Camilla Hect, Ianthe Tridentarius and Dulcinea Septimus).

Submissions must follow these guidelines:


  1. Any submissions should be comfortable with foul language, generally intended for a 16+ audience.

  2. Have clear audio, so no muffled audio or background noise; it isn’t necessary to have a high-quality or expensive mic, but I want to be able to hear your voice!

  3. Leave your Discord in your audition description :) 

  4. Roles will be unpaid, unfortunately. I’m not in a financial position to pay voice actors at the moment, but I would love to be able to one day! But please know that payment is not guaranteed.

  5. You can submit auditions for multiple roles if you wish!

  6. If possible, please submit your audition in an AABBCC format; emphasizing different words can completely change the tone of the line, and I’d love to hear differing takes on the lines!

  7. Show emotion! There are lines picked specifically because of how emotional they are, and there are some heavy themes covered in the entire book series, so be warned!

  8. Have fun! Feel free to play around with tones, cadence, pronunciations and emotions however you see fit!

I look forward to working with you all! One flesh, one end.

  • Deadline Extension 2: Electric Boogaloo

    Hi everyone! I am so so sorry, but I've got to extend the deadline again. The new deadline is now August 12th, 2024. It's been a rough couple of weeks, and life has prevented me from getting everything done, and forcing myself to do so has taken a toll on my mental health. But, I'm finally feeling like myself again. I'm extending the deadline again, and I'll update the cast list soon to include the secondary cast! Happy Pride Month, and again, I'm really sorry.

Gideon Nav
open
Unpaid

Gideon Nav is the cavalier primary to the heir to the House of the Ninth, Harrowhark Nonagesimus. Falling from the atmosphere in a bio-container as an infant, she was raised in Ninth House as an indentured servant until The Emperor sent for the heirs of the Houses to come to study the path to Lyctorhood. 

 I would love for the voice to have a bit of performative toughness. While Moira Quirk’s version can be a baseline, I would love to hear your interpretation!

  • “Did you know that if you put the first three letters of your last name with the first three letters of your first name, you get ‘Sex Pal’?”

  • [slowly] “Nonagesimus, the only job I’d do for you would be if you wanted someone to hold the sword as you fell on it. The only job I’d do for you would be if you wanted your ass kicked so hard, the Locked Tomb opened and a parade came out to sing, ‘Lo! A destructed ass.’ The only job I’d do would be if you wanted me to spot you while you backflipped off the top tier into Drearburh.”

  • “And instead you rolled a rock over me and turned your back. I spent all that time drowning and surfacing in you, over and over and over, and all because in the end you could not bear to do the one thing I asked you to do. I wanted you to use me, you malign, double-crossing, corpse-obsessed bag of bones, you broken, used-up shithead! I wanted you to live and not die, you imaginary-girlfriend-having asshole! Fuck one flesh, one end, Harrow. I already gave my flesh to you, and I already gave you my end. I gave you my sword. I gave you myself. I did it while knowing I’d do it all again, without hesitation, because all I ever wanted you to do was eat me.”

Harrowhark Nonagesimus (HA-row-hark Noh-nah-GUESS-i-mus) is the Ninth Saint to the Serve the King Undying, formerly known as the Reverend Daughter of Drearburh and Heir to the House of the Ninth. Born of her parent's genocidal plot, she is a powerful bone adept with the entire future of the Ninth House on her shoulders.

Voice should be holier-than-thou, completely standoffish. Think Shadowheart from Baldur’s Gate 3, but higher pitched (that’s just a baseline of course, any interpretations are welcome!)

  • “Death first to vultures and scavengers.”

  • [hoarsely] "Gideon the Ninth, first flower of my House, you are the greatest cavalier we have ever produced. You are our triumph, The best of all of us. It has been my privilege to be your necromancer.”

  • [distraught] “I have tried to dismantle you, Gideon Nav! The Ninth House poisoned you, we trod you underfoot—I took you to this killing field as my slave—you refuse to die, and you pity me! Strike me down. You’ve won. I’ve lived my whole wretched life at your mercy, yours alone, and God knows I deserve to die at your hand. You are my only friend. I am undone without you.”

Palamedes Sextus
open
Unpaid

Palamedes Sextus (Pal-a-ME-dees or Pal-AM-a-dees) is the Heir to the Sixth House and Master Warden of the Library. 

Intelligent and contemplative. A good vocal starting point could be a slightly-younger Percy de Rolo (The Legend of Vox Machina), and eventually I would love it if Palamedes and Camilla could sound similar! Upon callbacks you’ll be provided with Camilla's recording to work off of, but for now, just show me your interpretation!

  • “I died, and you carried me. I gambled, and you covered my bet. You kept the faith, and were the instrument of both my vengeance and my grace. And now I have fought through time, and the River, and Ianthe the First—fought and bested Ianthe the First, and I hope I never fight her ever again … Will you not look at me now, Cam, and know me?”

  • “Look- I doubt I'll get another chance to say this, so… I loved you. I love you still. I would've worked out how to love you better over time.”

  • “Go loud.”

Coronabeth Tridentarius
open
Unpaid

Coronabeth Tridentarius (Cor-OWN-a-beth Try-den-TAR-ee-us) is Heir to the House of the Third and Crown Princess of Ida. Lacking any true necromantic ability herself, she has spent her entire life glued to her sister, Ianthe Tridentarius's, side to create the illusion of a powerful pair. Naberius Tern, the cavalier she shares with her sister, is fiercely protective of her.

Coronabeth's voice should be more confident than Ianthe’s voice, so a stronger, sunnier tone. Upon callbacks you’ll be provided with Ianthe’s recording to work off of, but for now, just show me your interpretation!

  • “No, I’m boobs and hair and talk and a hell of a sword hand.”

  • [bitterly] “You’ve never lived a single day in your life. It’d be against regulations.”

  • "She's being an absolute cad, and I'm not even slightly sorry for pantsing her when we were eight."

Naberius Tern
open

Naberius Tern (Na-BEER-e-us TURN) is the Cavalier Primary to the Heirs to the House of the Third, Coronabeth and Ianthe Tridentarius. Naberius believes that being a fantastic duelist makes him the perfect cavalier, and he isn't afraid to share this opinion.

 A confidence that borders on arrogance; maybe lean in the direction of Joey Batey’s Jaskier from ‘The Witcher’, but interpretations are welcome!

  • [resentfully] “I should’ve stayed home and gotten married.”

  • [sharply] "You're sore, Ianthe. You can't show off with books ad infinitum, and so you're invisible, isn't that it?"

 (PIRRA DVAY) is the cavalier primary to the Third Saint to Serve the King Undying, Gideon the First, Commander of the Second House, Head of Trentham Special Intelligence, and one of the original sixteen disciples to serve the Emperor at Canaan House after the Resurrection. 

Voice can be fairly deep, maybe with a bit of a rasp, as Pyrrha is a character that smokes. Interpretations welcome!

  • “Children? I’m treating you like the Sixth House Warden and his cavalier, neither of whom have been trained to survive a Blood of Eden hot seat. Don’t think because Camilla’s carrying you that you’d have an easy ride. You have no idea what B.O.E. torture is like, and we don’t have the five years I’d need to teach you.”

  • [describing a shirt, apologetically] “Uh, okay, so, I hadn’t cleared this with the powers that be, but it was a picture of a moustache—like the facial hair, but a cartoon?—and then there were words below it. Look, you had to see it, I’m not sure I can describe it in a way that… It advertised cheap moustache rides. We’re talking low prices.”

Nona

Unpaid

Nona is the person who wakes up in Harrowhark Nonagesimus's body almost six months before the start of Nona the Ninth.

Her voice should be more childish in cadence, but she still retains the tone and voice of someone who is in their early 20's. Open to interpretation!

  • [wailing]“ Pash shot us! And my teacher! Palamedes was talking to the Angel and someone shot us through the window and now the carpet’s gross! This is the worst day of school ever!”

  • [when asked what nicknames Pyrrha calls her] “Kiddie. Junior. Small Fry. Cutie Pie. Li’l Bits. Small Cam. Hairy Maclary.” [pause] “Nums. No-No. Nope. None. Sweet Nons. Nona-Paloma. The Big No.”

  • [sincerely but gravely] “If you had asked me that yesterday, I would have said, probably yes, because Honesty’s my friend, but—Hot Sauce shot me when she found out I was a zombie, so I’m out of the gang.”

The Emperor Undying (John Gaius)
open
Unpaid

His Celestial Kindliness, the First Reborn, and The Necrolord Prime is the Emperor and primary deity of The Nine Houses. For ten thousand years he, his Lyctoral Saints, and his Cohort have been at war with an unnamed enemy. 

Would love for his voice to carry a bit of Jonathan Sims from ‘The Magnus Archives’ in terms of tone, but beyond that it's up to interpretation!

  • “So I’m shut in here – walled in, really – to prevent the Nine Houses from becoming none houses, with left grief.”

  • “Harrow, if you bother to remember anything from my ramblings, please remember this: once you turn your back on something, you have no more right to act as though you own it.”

(AWG-us-tin KWIN-kway) is the First Saint to Serve the King Undying and the co-founder of Koniortos Court and the Fifth House alongside his brother and cavalier, Alfred Quinque.

Would love it if he sounded slightly like Tim Stoker from ‘The Magnus Archives’ in terms of tone, but beyond that it's up to interpretation!

  • [slightly drunkenly] "I say, here's to Pyrrha, the woman I cultivated a smoking habit to impress—the cavalier, the legend, the stone-cold fox... John, please stop joggling my elbow, I have heard stone-cold fox from your own holy lips."

  • “Bury me next to you in that unmarked grave, Joy. We knew that was the only hope we ever had–that we would live to see it through… and pray for our own cessation. Oh, we’ll still hate each other, my dear, we have hated each other too long and too passionately to stop… but my bones will rest easy next to your bones.”

  • "John, you are trying to start a fight with me to get out of the fight I am trying to have with you, which is a painfully domestic tactic.”

  • “I merely want to put you in a jail, and fill up the jail with acid once for every time you made a frivolous remark, or ate peanuts in a Cohort Admiralty meeting, or said, 'What would I know, I'm only God.' Then at the end of a thousand years, you would say, 'Mercy, I have learned not to do any of these things, because I hated the acid you put on me.' And I would say, 'That is why I did it, Lord. I did it for you, and for your empire.' I often think about this.”
