Casting decision
Thank you to everyone who auditioned! As we have a huge selection to choose from, we will let you know our casting decision as soon as possible.
Intro
Hello everyone we're back with another casting call for The Collector series. For those who are new to the project, The Collector is an anthological podcast series which explores the themes of horror, myths and urban legends. So come and join us into the abyss as we descend into the depths of humanity's sins.

DEADLINES AND AUDITIONS
The deadline for auditions is April 4th. We’ll notify the voice actors who have been cast in roles on the 4th or the 5th depending on the number of auditions.
WHAT TO EXPECT
We communicate primarily through Discord. If you are unfamiliar with this application, you can still audition, however, we strongly recommend participation through Discord so that you can collaborate with your fellow voice actors.
WHAT WE ASK OF YOU
First, have fun! We take pride in bringing together talents in different mediums to create something we’re proud of, but none of it means anything if the people involved aren't passionate about their craft.
Please submit clean recordings on prosumer mics (no air conditioners in the background, no fans -- we don't mind performing noise reduction on your files, however too much clean-up reduces the quality of your voice). And speaking of clean-up -- please let us handle the post-production. Don't add effects to your lines -- leave that to us.
Feel free to cut your lines to your best/favourite takes. Three is the gold standard. We have a few voice actors that would rather give us more takes, and that's okay, too. However please at least remove the takes you don't want to be featured on the podcast.
Please keep in mind that when you audition for a role within The Collector series, we ask all VA's to meet specified deadlines so that we have time for re-edits if needed. We want to make sure that each episode properly showcases the talented work of that VA.
Episode synopsis
Jessica wants to prove to her new friends that she is willing to tackle any challenge they throw at her. So when they tell her the rumours of Sandringham house, despite the dangers that lurks inside, she saw an opportunity that she couldn't miss.
Thank you to everyone who auditioned! As we have a huge selection to choose from, we will let you know our casting decision as soon as possible.
Lead Role -
Known to Erik and Theo as "the new girl". She is a stubborn and curious being who never backs down from a challenge, especially when that challenge is to explore the unknown.
Unlike you, the thought of “what might be real” doesn’t scare me.
Curiosity? I mean, if you heard about ghosts and monsters being real, wouldn’t you want to check it out?
(fearful but defiant) ...I’m not playing your sick game.
Side Role -
To strangers, he is a friendly and confident person who is easy to get on with. To those that are close to him, he is a selfish person who only looks out for himself.
(stretching sound continues in dialogue) well- there’s 90minutes I’m not gonna get back. (Stretching stops) Who picked this?
(scoffs) Doesn’t mean you would willingly put yourself in that situation.
(chuckles) Love the enthusiasm
Supporting Role -
While Erik is the charismatic one of the duo, Theo is the introvert who lets Erik do as he pleases.
He has his own thoughts and desires, but is quick to discard his feelings when anger or hostility is present.
I mean if you’re about to be teared apart by a demon wouldn’t you try to make a last-ditch effort to survive?
(warning) Erik..
Hey don’t listen to Erik. You’ve got nothing to prove so why don’t we just go home.
Antagonist -
One of the spirits of Sandringham house. She is older and wiser than Noelle but her years trapped in the house has twisted her into a vengeful entity. She is portrayed as calm and cunning.
(whispering) Looking for something?
We’ve grown tired of each other’s company. Normally we just slaughter whatever or whomever steps into our home. But when those two boys promised someone who could give us, endless entertainment, how could we resist?
There is no use in begging, Jessica. You will suffer as we have suffered. Forever trapped in this realm between life and death.
Antagonist -
The other spirit of Sandringham house. Noelle is a bored spirit who seeks pleasure in torturing the unwanted guests. She is portrayed as sadistically cheerful.
Leaving so soon? Why you’ve just arrived.
So brutish, so heartless. What can you expect from men though? They are selfish parasites, taking what they want, trespassing where they don’t belong.
There is no such thing as mercy. Only fear, pain and death.
Minor-
A background character that is shown in the film Erik, Theo and Jessica are watching. Interpretation is fully open, would love to see a bunch of different styles.
Run all you want little mouse, no one will hear your screams when I tear you limb from limb.
There is no point in crying, it won't save you from deaths embrace.

Why are you doing this?!
God, please no!
