The Lead Legate - An Original Audio Drama
Project Overview
The Lead Legate is a radio show / audio drama made in a similar vein to the old super hero radio shows of the 1920s and 30s. The show is set in the 1920s, following The Lead Legate as he fights various criminal and villainous elements over the course of 12 episodes. Whether they be bootleggers smuggling alcohol, insane British aristocrats trying to drag the United States back under the crown, or even murderous industrialists willing to do anything for one more paycheck.
While the show is already written (12 episodes), it still needs voice actors for it to reach it's full potential. Hence why I am putting this out on Casting Call Club.
Requirements
The main requirement is that you have at least a decent microphone. Don't worry about minor background noises or anything similar, I can handle that in the editing
You can audition for as many characters as you want
While Discord is not required, having one would be preferred for ease of contact

Episode 12 has been written!
I am pleased to say that the last episode has been written, and now all that is needed is some editing of the script before lines for Voice Acting will begin to be recorded.

Episode 11 Has been written
Episode 11 has been written, and my hope is to finish episode 12 in a week or two. I'm also going to be poking around to see if I can't get a few more VAs for the project as well.

CAST OFF-SITE
Robert Cavall, more commonly as his secret identity of the Lead Legate, is the main character of the audio drama. He has a more baritone voice and carries himself quite seriously, someone who is more than willing to defend the innocent and punish the guilty.
His deep and baritone voice is in every episode and every scene, so do keep in mind that taking this role involves a LOT of lines being recorded.

When justice cannot be fulfilled by normal means, when truth is suppressed and cast aside. One must step forward to protect the innocent and vanquish villains. And that man is the Lead Legate!
If one fights villainy as we do, you must cling to hope even when hope seems non-existent. There is no such thing as having too much belief that there will be a better tomorrow.
My identity being exposed is a sacrifice I am more than willing to make if it means even a single life is saved.

It’s called getting information, Robby. You catch more flies with honey then you do vinegar, and a lot more flies get caught when you don’t just stomp away angrily.
No, no. This is New Cromwell. I’d be surprised if the idiots here decided to kill each other in a place that makes sense at this point.
You mean the bastard who we are hunting? I know that this is a very hard thing to ask of you to do, but would you please use your brain for once in your life?

I’m pretty sure I would have received notice about someone finding a body head to toe in old Roman armor with a giant revolver if his body was found. Which is why I need the two of you to continue the search.
Preaching about not wanting to hurt anyone while having a gun pointed at someone’s face is not what I consider to be faithful to your own words.
I knew it was one of you, so better to have you both die then to have the Legate survive, plotting revenge.

Worried about being found? Oh please, everyone who would be poking in here is someone I own.

Role assigned to:

Bill is a simple fence turned informant to the Lead Legate who wants nothing to do with of the insanity that he finds himself in. Yet time and time again he finds himself dragged along and proving that maybe, under the veneer of sarcasm he carries, that there is a heart there.

If you want someone to be an informant, then you need to both let them get information as well as reach out to them to get said information!
No, no. Absolutely not. I don’t care what the tin can says, I am not getting involved with this mess here.
I’ve done some horrible things in my life, and most I have no regrets over in the slightest. But even I have my morals. Morals that I will stand by until I get my lease on a shallow grave.

Which is why I wanted to work under you. To learn from you and be able to keep others safe. But no matter what, I am going to be out here to help others.

A gas attack on the festival tomorrow, maybe a couple bombs from ‘anarchists’, and suddenly having a well equipped military seems much more appealing. A military more than willing to buy from yours truly.
There’s no such thing as rules when it comes to making money, Legate.
That bastard gets everything I was working for destroyed without thinking and then the gall to ask for my money. He had it coming.

Not every role in the show is glamorous, with a name and specific focus put on them. Sometimes there needs to be voices that fill the background as innocent civilians, henchmen following orders, or even the poor soul being interrogated by the hero.
This is for voicing multiple characters in several episodes, and multiple people who audition for this will be cast.

In case the poor thumbnail for the project and all of the roles having no pictures didn't send it in clearly enough, I have no art skills. So if you have talent and are willing to dedicate time to giving this radio drama some proper art for when it gets put online, I will be immensely grateful.
