The Forgotten : A YouTube Series
Project Overview
This series is a dark and a bit grim, so please be aware of this before auditioning. The series focuses mainly around 5 characters, Gael, Calvin, Veronica, Calieque and Vienna. The series follows each of them individually and eventually their paths will collide. The series focuses in on the fact that theres no happy endings, no heroes and no villains. Theres just people, some more lost than others. The series also is based off of several true events. Sorry for being rather vague about the series that is being planned, but we would like it to be a surprise for both the viewers and the cast. lets start with some basic rules :
1. Please do not audition if you don't have time to do your lines. We are working with a short time frame and need our voice actors and actresses to have their lines in on time. You will have 1 month to get your lines in per season. The deadline can be extended if you give a good reason as to why your lines will be late.
2. This series will require a lot of time and commitment, we plan to have at least three seasons. So please be aware of that when auditioning
3. Please don't get offended if your character dies, the script was written before hand and if your character is killed off, its not personal.
4. It would be preferred that you have the Discord app, this ensures quick communication and helps us to contact you faster. We have a cast server as well, so that you can meet and interact with your fellow cast members and maybe even make some new friends!
5. Please keep a professional relationship with the writers. We aren't necessarily creating this series to become friends and we would prefer to have a professional relationship to prevent drama in the series and between cast members.
Thanks so much for reading through all that! Good luck with your auditions!
P.S. there is light-medium swearing for almost every character in the series, please take note of that moving on. Depending on your character, the script can be tweaked if your not okay with swearing.

Gael has a low, masculine voice. He has a very slight British/English accent. His accent isn't thick, its very light and almost unidentifiable.
He's a rather depressed character and one of the most important characters in the series. If you find thoughts of depression triggering, please do not audition.
Back story : Gael became King of Keomos very early in his life for two reasons. His mother died the evening after giving birth to his brother, Peter, and his father was murdered when Gael was 23. Gaels father was murdered by an assassin hired by Aedia, the south kingdom. Aedia hired an assassin to kill the king because Aedia wanted permission to join Keomos and Aedia in marriage so they could mine and produce the Radium under Keomos. When the king refused due to the dangerous nature of the deal, he was killed. Gael spent 4 years learning everything he could about the deal and trying to track down the assassin who killed his father. He figures out who the murderer is in the first season, but that is not revealed until season 2. Gael loved and treasured his brother Peter ever since his parents died, after all, he was all the family he had in the world. When Peter joined the Keomos army Gael was heartbroken, but he understood that his brother wanted to be a hero. Gael is a bit of a depressed character, he never speaks excitedly, he speaks slow, clear, and calm. He has about three emotions, sad, angry, and neutral. He often writes poetry when he’s all alone.
What is a loveless life worth? Nothing. What is a life if you have no one to share it with, no one to wake up to, no one to look into your eyes, and feel your heartache, your pain, to know you better than you know yourself, and take the pain away. With, just a look. So indeed, what is life worth without love?
A man unwilling to fight for what he wants, deserves what he gets. (annoyed, clenched teeth)
You can have anything in life, so long as you're willing to give up everything else for it. (sad, deep tone)
Calvin has a higher pitched male voice, his voice tends to waver from high to medium just during a normal conversation. His voice is very animated and usually over exaggerated, he's the comic relief of the series you might say.
Later in the series Calvin undergoes serious depression and mood swings, if these things trigger you, please do not audition.
Backstory : Calvin grew up a trickster and a bit of a know it all, he was very smart, but never let anyone know it. Calvin is a very comedic fellow and tries to make anyone and everyone laugh given the chance, Calvin struggles with a split personality disorder which is found out in Season 2. He can either be very comedic and happy, or angry and when he snaps and becomes angry, he loses all sense of fear. He also learns to cope with the disorder, and in the end learns how to keep it under control. His parents always favored his brother Eric, the oldest, and Calvin has resented him for it all his life.
Me? Running from someone???? Naaaaaaaaaaaah, I do it for the sport of it. That's why I’m so buff and fit! Aheh…….
Have you ever wondered to yourself, what goes on in the mind of a rabbit….. What do they think about i mean, why are they so fluffy? They don't need all that fur right??? What are they trying to cover up??
I mean, why do they call bunny packs a “warren”? Why don't they just call it a cute fuzzleball pack! Why do they even have packs anyhow…… it's not like they hunt or anything, I mean….. They don't eat meat do they????
Peter is a secondary character who becomes a little more important as the series progresses. peter has a medium-low voice and an American/North American accent.
Backstory : Peters mother died the evening after he was born, and his father was murdered by the kingdom of Aedia in the later years of his life. After his brother assumed the throne, he quickly became obsessed with finding his father's killer, which means he began to neglect his younger brother in the process. Peter felt as though he grew up alone since Gael was always studying and was to busy to even say so much as a hello. Peter decided in a last attempt to make his brother proud, that he would join the army, that he would be someone's hero. Peter returned from war afraid and paranoid, he suffered from PTSD, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, and it affected the way he treated others, he often didn’t remember what he did during his attacks, including hurting his brother.
I want troops deployed to the north and south, stop for no one, I want that traitorous bastard dead by sunrise.(serious, cold)
I could never take something so rich in history from your family, your foals, I do what I do to serve the king, and to serve my people, nothing more.(caring, firm)
Find him. And bring me his head.(angry, clenched teeth)
Henry has a creepy-low erie voice. This character is perhaps the darkest in the series and undergoes many serious situations, if your uncomfortable with that, please do not audition.
backstory : Henry was born a commoner from Adaweth, and in his early life he “fell in love” with a mare named Veronica. They were together from age 10 to age 20, when Henry met a mare from Narrawen named Angelica. Henry however had a secret, he was/is a sociopath. He left Veronica and married Angelica instead. He married her for her money and her power. After he married Angelica he became the king of Narrawen and ruled with an iron fist. He is a corrupt king and taxes his subjects even though they can barely afford to eat.
Asana, I’d like my armor cleaned by this afternoon.(demanding, cold)
Well darling, you don’t exactly fulfill my… needs. I seek them elsewhere, you, are nothing more than my queen, do I make myself clear? (demanding, cold)
I told you I would have you, Little dove. (whisper, weird serial killer kind of voice)
Angelica has a higher pitched female voice, and a slight British/English accent. I wouldn't say her accent is thick, but its not unidentifiable.
Backstory : Angelica grew up around Henry and viewed him as a sort of brother figure, but when Henry asked her father for her hand in marriage, she didn’t refuse. She always felt she was too young to be married, being that she was 17 and he was 29, but she knew her father would be angry with her if she didn’t accept his proposal.
Well, I’ll tell you what……….the rumors floating through the kingdom are true. (giggly, happy)
I can’t help but feel that I married to young. But Henry was always so charming when I was a foal. When my father announced the engagement…… well…… I didn't want to marry him. I had always viewed his as a…... big brother……. (reminiscent, distant)
Time to stop hiding that beautiful body under cloaks and daggers…. I’ll show you how it feels to be a lady….. And if you don’t like it, I will return your…. (her tone turns disgusted but she tries to keep a pleasant tone) filthy rags…..
Veronica has a high-medium voice, sometimes rather raspy with an American/North American Accent.
Backstory : Veronica was born of an “accident” as her mother would refer to it. Her mother was a traveling thief who hooked up with a stallion in a bar, resulting in Veronica. After her birth, her mother wanted nothing to do with her. She left Veronica, a newborn foal, with her father, an alcoholic stallion who had no idea how to care for a foal. Her father changed a lot for her, sobered up, and stopped his bad habits in order to raise her, he was the perfect father. Veronica however, held resentment for her mother her entire life. She could never shake the feeling of abandonment. Though she knew her father loved her, she longed for a mother. Her father knew this, so he married a mare whom he barely knew. When Veronica was only 14, the mare killed her father in cold blood. From that day on, Veronica promised herself she would NEVER fall in love again. That is, until she met Henry. Henry was a sweet colt, he treated her like she felt she deserved to be treated. Until one morning, he disappeared. Veronica saw the wedding engagement in the town newspaper and was left heartbroken, and alone. Veronica chose to follow in her mother's footsteps and became a thief. Every time she stole, she knew what she was doing was wrong, but she loved that feeling. She loved the thrill. She swore vengeance on Henry from the moment she heard he had married, and vowed to kill him if ever the situation presented itself.
Maybe I think your nice to look at, is that a problem? (annoying)
Oh no no! I’m going to tell our story. And your going to listen. (Scary)
Of course, your majesty. (Cold, annoyed)
Calieque has a higher pitched female voice accompanied by an English/British accent. Her voice is very feminine and ladylike, think of an english princess.... Because thats kind of exactly what she is.......... moooooooooving on...
Backstory : Calieque was born into a rich family of Lords and Ladies, she was spoiled as a child, but since she never had siblings and her parents were always busy, she constantly felt alone. Her father bought a little filly out of slavery, and asked if she would like to stay with him in their palace, when she chose to stay, he introduced her to Calieque as a playmate. They were happy that way for many years up until Calieque was married to at the time, Prince Seth of Cassen. The kingdom of Cassen was suffering Economically and Calieque's father married her to him to provide financial economic relief to the kingdom. Calieque never loved Seth, not for a second, and she never pretended to. Seth was much older than herself, and had a foal with a previous wife already. Calieque never wanted children, she was kind to them, but honestly couldn’t stand them. She wasn’t happy the way she was living, and when she found out about her husband's business with Aedia, she snapped.
This is not your place, and this, this is not your fight (serious and cold)
E-excuse me, do I look like I care? (cold, annoyed)
I am not an object of which you can summon at your will, I am not your subject which you hold dominion over, not your princess, not your child. So I believe I will do as I please when and with whom I am pleased to do it. Uninterrupted by yourself.(angry, clenched teeth)
Seth has a low, clear voice with a British/English accent.
This character contains mature themes, if your uncomfortable with that, please do not audition.
Backstory : This character plays a minor role and is killed off eventually, meaning he doesn't require a backstory.
I never want to hear another word out of your mouth in that filthy language again. Do I make myself clear? (annoyed, cold)
I wasn’t aware that when we married, you had become my mother. (sarcastic and cold)
Get. A. Grip. Because I’m DONE with you. (angry, clenched
teeth)
Rose has a medium-high pitched voice, her voice is also youthful since she is young.
Backstory : Rose grew up without parents who loved her, and her biological mom died when Rose was a foal. Her father turned her into his own personal assassin, and used her to deal with lazy workers in the mines. Rose knew she was never loved, though she tried to please Calieque, she knew she never wanted her. As far as her father went, he never wanted her either. As a matter of fact, he killed her mother after she was born. He blamed her for having “his mistake”. Rose turned all her anger into power and became a weapon for her kingdom. Once Calieque was gone, she wanted vengeance against her, so she sent for a mercenary, Liam Abernathy, to kill her.
*pause* A caravan will be arriving tomorrow. You are to transfer the radium into the caravan and if there is anything less than 2,000 braags worth, my father will have all of you killed and replaced. Now get back to work. (cold, annoyed)
To little, to late. (short, annoyed)
Yes, Father. (depressed, cold)
Liam has a medium-low voice with an American/North American accent.
This character goes through severe depression and has thoughts of suicide, if this makes you uncomfortable, please do not audition.
Backstory : Liam grew up the eldest brother in his family. He was to become the leader or the League of Assassins, but when his loyalty was tested, he failed. His younger brother Christian instead took the position. Christian was ruthless and would kill anyone and everyone that got in the way of what he wanted. Even if that person was of his own blood. Liam never wanted to become leader, he knew he could never hold off his feelings in order to kill a person. He had a loving heart, but his father destroyed that quickly. His father beat him and trained him until he was a weapon of mass destruction. Liam could never look a person in the eye when he killed them, he would always look away. He couldn’t bare to watch them die. He always had a caring heart, but it hold the weight of so many souls. He’s killed so many innocent people, he can hardly live with himself. He’s often suicidal. He has nightmares of reliving those moments of the victims he’s killed.
Don't get all dagger happy on me now princess, I'm fragile. (joking, annoying)
Thats bullshit Christian and you know it! (angry, sad)
You were the only person who ever loved me. Now I have to ask you one thing. *long pause* why?...... (sad, confused)
Eric has a medium tone voice and an American/North American accent.
Backstory :
He grew up loved by his parents. He studied so hard one might even call him a scholar, but he wasn't happy. He always longed to live as carefree as his brother, but he knew that would break his parents heart. He watched out for Calvin all his life, someone had to. Truth be told he always knew his parents didn’t care about Calvin, but he did. He always did. He always had to be sure to keep Calvin in check because Lord only knows what he would have done if Eric hadn’t. Eric knew it would one day become his burden to become king, but he never wanted it. He never wanted the crown. He longed to be free as his brother was, but he knew that could never happen. He had a duty to his people. He intended to keep his promise to them.
Oh little brother, such a large, mind, so little
thought.
As your future king, I command you to let me go this instant. (demanding, insistent)
If you think you are anyone, that you ever mattered? That anyone ever gave a dang about you, your wrong. You are nothing. And you never will be. (annoyed, teeth clenched)
Christian has a medium-low voice and a British/North American accent.
Backstory :
Christians back story is somewhat a mystery, it's nearly the same as his brothers, but, somewhere in the blurred lines, a switch flipped within his mind and he became the monster he is today. Nobody knows what happened to him in his childhood. Maybe he was beat, maybe it was something else. One thing's for sure he’s not the person he used to be. Nothing like that person at all.
Death's simply to good for you Ms. Black. Take her to South Adaweth. You might be able to fetch a pretty penny for her at the slave auction. (cold, heartless)
Give it up Abraysiks. Its over. (out of breath, careless)
I made it back in one piece didn't I. (cold, distant)
Use as many different accents and tones as you can while doing these two lines, these will help us cast you as an extra role. Extra roles may swear, or be involved in adult situations, please be aware of that if you're casted.
