The Experiment(audio-based series)
Project Overview
"THE EXPERIMENT
The Experiment is an original audio-based psychological horror series about six mysterious beings trapped inside a laboratory.
Every day, scientists conduct new experiments on them to study their bodies, reactions, fears, and strange biological abilities. The subjects are not truly human and the more they learn about themselves, the more unsettling their existence becomes.
Some of them question the scientists.
Some try to cooperate.
Some observe everything in silence.
Some use humor to cope.
But eventually, they all begin to wonder the same thing:
Why are they here?
As the experiments become more disturbing and the subjects begin searching for a way out, the laboratory starts to feel less like a place they're being kept,and more like something they were never meant to escape.
The Experiment combines psychological horror, mystery, unsettling audio design, strange creatures, and character-driven storytelling. The series will primarily be experienced through voice acting, sound effects, atmosphere, recordings, announcements, and environmental audio.

Gender: Female
Pronouns: She/Her
Personality:
Intelligent, observant, and endlessly curious. She wants to understand everything about herself, the experiments, and the strange world around her. She asks a lot of questions and sometimes keeps digging even when the answers become disturbing. Beneath her fascination, she is still genuinely frightened by what is happening to them.
Voice Direction:
Clear, expressive, naturally curious. She should sound intelligent and engaged, with genuine wonder when discovering something new. During frightening moments, let the curiosity gradually give way to fear.

Curious: “Wait... what exactly are you testing this time?”
Fascinated: “So that's how my body reacts to it... I didn't know it could do that.”
Frightened: “Stop. Please! just tell me what you're doing to me.”
Gender: Male
Pronouns: He/Him
Personality:
Emotionally volatile, suspicious, and increasingly unpredictable. He has difficulty trusting the scientists and sometimes even the other subjects. He can go from calm to overwhelmed very quickly. His instability comes from fear, stress, and the constant experiments rather than simply being “evil.”
Voice Direction:
Emotionally intense and unpredictable. His calmer moments should feel tense, as though something is always underneath them. When overwhelmed, his voice can become shaky, frantic, angry, or desperate and even screaming,

Suspicious: “You expect me to believe that? You've lied to us before.”
Agitated: “Don't touch me! I said DON'T TOUCH ME!”
Breaking down: “Something is wrong. Something is VERY wrong, and none of you are listening!”
Gender: Non-binary
Pronouns: They/Them
Personality:
Reserved, observant, and extremely difficult to read. They speak only when they feel there is something worth saying. They notice tiny details that everyone else misses and are constantly watching the laboratory, the scientists, and the other subjects.
Voice Direction:
Quiet, controlled, and understated. Avoid making them completely emotionless—they should still have subtle shifts in fear, curiosity, irritation, or concern. Their calmness should make their rare emotional moments stand out.

Calm: “...There are cameras in here too.”
Observant: “The lights changed three times. Did anyone else noticed.?”
Uneasy: “...We shouldn't be here.”
Gender: Female
Pronouns: She/Her
Personality:
Kind, compassionate, and deeply caring toward the others. She tries to keep everyone together and comforts them after difficult experiments. She believes they should help one another survive. Despite her gentle nature, she can become surprisingly firm when someone she cares about is threatened.
Voice Direction:
Warm, soft, and comforting. She should sound sincere rather than overly sweet. Her voice can become stronger and more serious when she needs to stand up for the others.
- female adult
Comforting: “It's okay. Just stay with me. We'll get through this.”
Worried: “Are you hurt? You know you don't have to pretend you're fine,right?”
Firm: “Enough! You're not doing this to them again!”
Gender: Male
Pronouns: He/Him
Personality:
Stubborn, confrontational, and fiercely independent. He openly distrusts the scientists and refuses to simply accept their authority. He hates being treated like an experiment rather than a person and is constantly looking for ways to resist or escape.
Voice Direction:
Confident, rough-edged, and emotionally forceful. He should sound like someone who refuses to back down, even when he is scared. Anger, frustration, and determination should all be present underneath his words.
- male adult
Defiant: “You can call me a subject all you want! I'm still not obeying you.”
Angry: “You're not experimenting on ME again!!”
Determined: “There's an exit somewhere. And when I find it, I'm taking everyone with me.”
Gender: Non-binary
Pronouns: They/Them
Personality:
Sarcastic, theatrical, and constantly joking,especially when things are going horribly wrong. Humor is their main coping mechanism, and they use it to keep the others from completely falling apart. Beneath the jokes, however, they are genuinely afraid of what is happening.
Voice Direction:
Expressive, playful, and naturally comedic. They can exaggerate certain lines for humor, but the performance should still feel believable. When the jokes disappear, the actor should be able to shift into genuine fear or vulnerability.
- nonbinary
Sarcastic: “Wow. Another mysterious experiment! I was starting to worry we'd have nothing planned today.”
Nervous humor: “Okay! Great! Love the giant machine! Definitely not terrified of that thing! haha!”
Suddenly serious: “...Guys? Don't laugh. I think something's actually wrong.”
ruthless but curious. Never soft to the subjects. Must be very commanding and authoritative.
