THE ALLOSAURIAD Audio Drama
Project Overview
THE ALLOSAURIAD is an upcoming, episodic, audio
drama podcast from the creator of the iTunes 5-star rated mini-series, The Lovecraft Covenant. It tells the
story of an eclectic group of near-future Americans (from the year 2022) who
find themselves trapped in the time of the dinosaurs. Ill-equipped,
disoriented, and scared out of their minds, they must band together to survive,
while slowly coming to suspect that they are not alone in the prehistoric past.
There will be a total of eight
principle voice roles, two of whom do not survive to the end of the 1st
season. I've filled all roles except the ones listed here. Hoping to
get the project under way after the holidays, in early 2018.

Gideon is an early- to mid-30s cis gay male, preferably with a baritone speaking voice. He is a librarian and amateur historian from Baton Rouge, LA, where he has been closeted for most of his life, even from himself. Gideon is trying to find his self-confidence and identity, and often speaks with a hesitating tone. His lifelong passion is books, who have never betrayed him and never judged him. An introvert with a rich fantasy life, he has an encyclopedic knowledge medieval Byzantine history, and loves reading aloud to children. Unfortunately, he’s also terrible in a crisis, and has trouble sticking to his decisions. Being suddenly thrust back in time to a prehistoric wilderness has forced him to begin confronting truths about himself that he has kept long buried... but also leading him to discover capacities he never knew he had.
NOTE: I would strongly prefer to give this role to a gay male actor, someone who has had a lived experience similar to that of the character.
Taylor, I... I'm not really comfortable with, you know, killing animals and stuff.

(nARRATING)
And that was that. All of a sudden, I was in charge
of food inventory. A task that put people's lives in my hands. I'd
never done anything like that before. I just stood there, staring at
the fire, for... um, a really long time, it felt like. No one had ever
put me in charge before. A promotion wasn't a thing for me back home.
(LONG BEAT)
I was terrified.
Line 3
I... I don't even like girls. I've never told anyone.
