The Bugle: A Spider-Man Story
Project Overview
Hello, I'm Albie! I'm the lead writer of a new Spider-Man project that I've been dreaming about for a while. Now I'm finally ready to share it with the world but I need your help to do it! The first episode is out now!
Info:
The Bugle follows the origins of Spider-Man from the perspective of the average civilian, or more specifically the press. The plot surrounds The Daily Bugle Podcast, a scheme by J. Jonah Jameson to get more young people interacting with the "real press" and "none of that interweb crap".
Two Interns host the main segment, none other than Eddie Brock and Peter Parker! The two must navigate the changing landscape of New York as they must introduce the world to it's first ever superhero, along with it's first true supervillains - not to mention Peter's identity needing to stay secret!
This is of course a Spider-Man story first, but it is also an immersive chamber play. I want listeners/viewers to feel as if they're experiencing a true story in a genuine world with realistic news segments and believable back and fourth improv, applicants should have the confidence to do this or they will not get the part.

A teenager dealing with the weight of inheriting his dead father's fortune, struggling with the person he is expected to be and the person that he truly is - and his true self is losing. A hot temper is dragging him further away, but his last modicum of childlike wonder is holding him in place.

Not bad Parker, you almost sounded like man
It's not slander. I resent that. Slander is spoken. In print, it's libel.
How about scram? Or two words: Scram Kid. Or Seventeen: Get out of my office in two point three seconds or I’ll staple you to a flagpole
Co-Starring Beside Peter Parker, you must have a strong ability to improv, some scenes may be recorded in real time.
Not bad Pete, you almost sounded like a normal human being.
I feel like Spider-Man is probably a hot lesbian in disguise.
What are we if not the result of everyone we've ever loved? I'm a broken harmony of everything I've ever cared about, so are you Pete
