The Highlands - Fantasy Audio Drama - 2 ROLES REMAINING

The Highlands - Fantasy Audio Drama - 2 ROLES REMAINING

Project Overview

The Highlands is a fantasy themed story that involves three main characters and a vast cast full of mythical creatures/oddities. Along the way you will be following the story of Oscar, Vrefurn and Thora as they journey to uncover the secrets of a spellbook passed down through their families. Many wars have been fought over this book, many lives lost and even more hanging in the balance. The book is magical, meaning everyone wants a look in. In a land where everyone wants to rule the world, no one is safe whilst they are in possession of the spellbook. Luckily, Oscar, Vrefurn and Thora will have some help along the way to protect them from the unknown.

This project is completely voluntary and I understand that may turn people away. I apologise that I am unable to pay people for their work! I haven't fully fleshed out a plot for The Highlands and I am mainly looking for the talents of writers right now. However, I will need voice actors, artists, directors and music composers for when the writing is done. Wew, that's a lot! If you are interested please do submit an audition below or send me a Tweet on Twitter: @killtoeart 

(THIS PROJECT HAS BEEN RE-OPENED SINCE INITIAL CASTING, HENCE MOST ROLES BEING TAKEN)

Latest Updates

  • Lead Role Available Once More - Deadline Pushed Back.

    Hi everyone, Sadly one of our lead actors will no longer be able to commit to the project. Therefore, we are setting the deadline back to April 10th and re-opening the position. I am aware a few roles have been cast early and I explained why this was but the remaining roles are all open until the 10th and will not be cast early at all. I apologise for any confusion I have caused in either casting early or the fact this position is now opened again. I look forward to hearing your auditions.
  • DEADLINE MOVED FORWARD + ROLES STILL AVAILABLE

    Hi again, You may have noticed I have closed a few roles. This is because a few characters were spot on and were perfect for what I need. However, there are still a few left! I am moving the deadline to April 5th now instead as I want to get this team together as quickly as possible now to begin with the project. I hope you all understand and thanks for your auditions.
  • DEADLINE IN 10 DAYS

    Thanks for the amazing auditions on this project so far! This is just a post to say there are only TEN DAYS left until the project closes! There's still quite a few roles without auditions too however so I'm still looking for people to fill those! If you know someone who'd be interested in the project, don't forget to share it with them as I need all the help and support I can get with this!! Happy Auditioning!

    Hi all! Two new LEAD roles have been added! I have a few more roles I will be adding meaning I will more than likely extend the closing date of the auditions.

  • [Angry, frustrated and very moody] "Don't you dare tell me what to do! You're not the boss of me, not anymore! I don't give a rats ass about how we met, that's in the past. You have no control over what I do Thora, not now."
