*Completed
Project Type: This is going to be a short audio drama! It will be about 10 to 13 minutes long. There will be some basic sound effects in the background.
Purpose: This is purely for fun. I may post the final project however I don't expect much of an audience since this is mainly for myself.
Paid: Yes! More info in the roles.
Dates: The plan is to close auditions by January 31 and to decide on roles by February. The project as a whole will hopefully be completed by the end of February or early March, however, I'm not sure how long to process will actually take so the dates may change!
Pitch: Fiction/Comedy/Vampire
A newly converted, and very nervous, vampire (Henry) is introduced to the rest of his coven (Sabien, Lester, and Nissa). During this introduction, he's told about their fearsome leader, (Tanith) an ancient vampire who has been feeding on human blood for almost as long as they have been around however, when the legend finally shows her face, she's not what he expected- or what anyone else expected. Over night, their wicked leader had become a devoted Catholic nun.
Rejection/Shortlist: If you are interested in some feedback, ASK in the auditions and leave your PREFERRED CONTACT method. I'll try sending a message at some point, but I may or may not get around to it.

Sabien is the second in command, right under Tanith (vamp leader). As he's introducing Henry (new vamp) to the rest of the group, he acts as reassuring guide however, it's clear that he's enjoying Henry's nervousness as the older vamps taunt him. He's a self-collective, alpha type and (excuse the informal terminology) daddy type, HOWEVER, when he sees that his ruthless leader is no longer herself, he is appalled. He goes on full panic mode as he searches for answers.
Expressions: Chuckless

(Sabien is guiding Henry towards the other vampires.)
(supportive whisper) You will be fine. (Louder) Lester, Nissa, I bring some fresh blood!
(Tanith makes her appearance as a nun.)
(Choked) ah- Tanith?
(Very distressed)
This is not right. We- we need to keep an eye on her. I don't want her out of our sight for a second. Even when she's sleeping. Nissa, you take the first shift, then Lester, then me.
Lester is an eccentric character. Although none of the older vampires are necessarily sane, Lester's madness is the most prevalent. He's a fast speaker, and doesn't hesitate to act on animalistic impulses.
Voice: Eccentric, fast, slightly high pitch.

No, no, no! Tanith! What has happened to you? What is this? Bring back my beautiful vicious monster. Aaaaahh!!
Nissa is a stereotypical gothic girl. She usually sounds bored/uninterested, however she does have an almost teenage girly side. For those who are similar with the character Envy from Inside Out, I imagine Nissa as a gothic version of Envy.

I'm not a man- Stop trying to bite me!
(Nissa and Lester share snippets of the reputation surrounding their leader. They go back and fourth, building on eachnothers story to scare the new vamp.)
I heard she started wars just to cover her tracks.
(For the first time in years, Nissa leaves the cave during day time)
(hisses) I belong with the bats.
As the newly converted vamp, Henry is a nervous guy that's scared of just about everything in this new life. The older vampires amuse themselves with the gullible teenager by telling them about tales of their leader.
Expressions: startled yells, nervous laughter, stutters)
(Henry is being taken guided to meet the other vamps.)
(whisper) I-I don't know if I'm ready for this. (As they enter the cave, is suddenly attacked and yells. A second person fends off the attacker and apologizes) Ah.. (nervous chuckle) thank you.
Tanith is a..nun?
Tanith is the ancient leaver of the vamps, however, she has now apparently become a nun. She has a sweet innocent voice. I imagine her as a fast prayer.
(During this whole project, she always appears in her nun persona)
Thy father, my one and only lord. You have taken my wretched sin and in you I was born again.
A sweet human lady who serves in a church.
Oh, sorry I didn't mean to scare you.
You're welcome sweetie.
I imaging the pastor speaking in a slow monotone voice.
(a sermon being given in the background)
God is light. In him there is no darkness. If we claim to have fellowship with him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth.
Same as draft! Between young adult and middle age is more accurate
