The Purgatorians 'Prequel before the sequel' miniseries

Project Overview

I will try to keep this more brief than the last call for this project as I got so eager I filled the page with so much information. All the interviews that you find here are all part of an optional paid extra that you will be offered to take part in too if cast. If you would like to read up on the first call of this project, that gave more information, please find it here.

The Purgatorians | Original and Ambitious 5 season audio drama | Casting Call Club

This project is for what i like to call the 'Prequel before the sequel' miniseries. I call it that because I had scripted up to episode 20 of the main show before deciding upon creating this one. This one was made so the story could be jumped into with barely any setup, and to show what the final few days of the deadly cycle entails. As well as showing what to expect from the main show too.

I will mostly be adding the cast interviews here, so the current cast can explain themselves their thoughts on the show and it's current progress. Firstly, what am I like to work with and is creative input allowed from the cast. Spoiler alert, yes it it.

https://youtu.be/zOeTCam-RrE

The main show is about stopping the cycle once and for all. The prequel miniseries shows the events just before, and during, the previous cycle taking place and how deadly it it. It's not only the cycle that is out to kill though. There is also deception, betrayal and murders from both the Asylum and the City. Nobody is safe, man, woman, or child, and the cycle will not discriminate on who it claims. Expect a lot of death,thriller, horror, drama, and emotional scenes as the miniseries unfolds. Here are the current casts thoughts on the scripts of the main show.

As well as what will make viewers want to return to the show too.

https://youtu.be/fG07tT7Ptfg

This is a highly ambitious project and is due to run for many years. This will be my only project as all my stories will be poured into this show. I don't want to make a different show will the same stories being told. The prequel is the very beginning of this. If you can do different voices, you are more than welcome to audition for future roles too. All I ask is for clear audio and to be able to fit the characters, as well as meeting the deadlines for the scripts. Here are some of the casts thoughts when they originally found out how big the project actually was. It did surprise some of them.

https://youtu.be/Cnq8LLjeVZo

What makes this show stand out from all the others already out there? My response is the sheer size and financial aspects of it. The show itself is costing £65,000 per season, miniseries not included in this figure, for voice cast alone. Then I need to pay musicians, singers, an audio engineer, thumbnail artists and more. I earn roughly £1000 per month, then take living costs from that. That means the show will be moving along slowly to begin with, maybe 1 episode every 2 months. If we get monetized, back pay will be paid to industry standards per line increasing the cost of the show much further. There are also the dark and gritty storylines, in which a lot of audio dramas fear to tread. I will let you hear in the current casts voices, their opinions on what makes this different from the other shows out there.

https://youtu.be/nwrb91ZBxoc

That is everything about this project as of now. Please take note before you audition that some stories may be offensive or upsetting to some. Please ask yourself if you could voice some very hard hitting stories before you audition. I honestly do not say that lightly. It will look good on your resume but the last thing I want to do is cause you any emotional distress or have you mailing me to say you're dropping out of the show. Recasting will ruin the viewers immersion. If you want to hear the casts thoughts on other aspects of the show, please see these links.

https://youtu.be/fZOPbby4KEw

Thank you for reading, and as before, anyone who auditions will be given feedback. Please have good audio quality with only noise filters enabled to eliminate room noise and hiss/hums. The story is much darker than the trailer above too. That slap at the end is nothing compared to what poor six year old Mason has to endure over his time in the show. The adults fare far worse. I shall leave you with the other two trailers and the YouTube page link for more information.

Latest Updates

  • explanation to received complaints

    I have had a couple of complaints, one about the editing and one about the thumbnails, which I would like to address. These weren't from people in the show.

    THUMBNAILS

    The 2015 promos were not supposed to have proper thumbnails at all. These were uploaded to let those auditioning take a look at what to expect in the show and to find out more information about it.

    I understand how important thumbnails are to videos, I honestly do. Do I choose to forgo paying the voice actors to pay for these 'concept' videos that I created just so they may look a little more eye pleasing to people on YouTube on the possibility that they click into the video? No, I won't do that.

    I am funding this show alone so this means I have to allocate where the money is best spent. That has been on the voice actors. Without them voicing the characters, there would be no need for thumbnails at all as there would be no videos. The cast will always be at the top of my list when money needs allocating. I won't take hundreds of pounds away from them to pay for older concept video thumbnails.

    I do have someone lined up to create thumbnails for the 2025 cast promos and interviews and show but these past videos will not be getting good looking thumbnails I'm afraid.

    EDITING

    I can edit but only basic edits. An audio engineer will be taken on to make the show sound better than I ever could. However, I had a complaint about a previous videos edit.

    These videos were just concepts and promos for the early days. They were either 2015 cast or a mix of both 2015/25 cast. These were only created so there could be something to show those who audition what to expect and for YouTube to gather data on the videos so it knows what the channel is about once the episodes are ready to go live so it knows who to show them to who may be more likely to click on them.

    I edited all of the older videos myself because, as I said with thumbnails, the cast deserved the money rather than employing a video editor to make 'outdated' videos, in some cases, look good.

    I will be taking on an audio engineer/video editor to make these look and sound far better than I can. For the first year though I wanted the voice actors to deliver their lines and they needed to be paid for them.

    IN CONCLUSION

    I wouldn't have minded so much if these were constructive but all it basically said is 'garbage' and that's it. That wasn't the exact thing said but I shortened it to that.

    All 2025 content will have thumbnails and an audio engineer/video editor will be employed to make things look and sound good, the episodes only. As I say though, the voice actors are, and always will be, my top priority. Getting them paid on time for their lines will always be at the top of my list above all else.

    Sorry but I just feel like that needed addressing. I am very thankful to all those who wanted to be part of the show, and to all those cast. I will not withhold payment from the cast just because people think other things should be focused on more. The voice actors are my focus and I won't let them down.

  • Casting DMs sent

    I always ask for confirmation for the role first by those I choose to cast. I have sent all of these now, so if you could let me know by the end of Wednesday 1st January that would be great so I can officially cast you.

    Maybe when your nursing the new years hangovers lol.

    Sorry to those who were not chosen. Some of these were very difficult to choose from. More auditions to come.

    Thank you everyone.

  • Auditions for the miniseries are now over

    Thank you everyone who auditioned for this show, I really do appreciate it.

    I am going through the final auditions that came in last night, then I shall be looking who to cast.

    Please expect a confirmation DM here by the end of today, as of typing this, not when it gets sent to your emails. Please confirm at your earliest convenience.

    Thank you everyone once again. More auditions to come at some point in the future for this large and ambitious audio drama, and I hope to see you there if not cast for this one.

  • Auditions almost over. What to expect next!

    We are in the final days of auditions now. They close at the end of December 30th UK time (GMT). If you would like to audition, I ask you do so as soon as you can. The later they come in, the less time you have to resubmit based on feedback if needed. I advise all new, last minute auditioners to look through previous auditions for the role you choose and look at my feedback to them as to what is right or not.

    Once the auditions close, I will be going through them and seeing if anymore need shortlisting. If I mention audio noise in the feedback, these are immediately passed by.

    Then I send confirmation emails on December 31st. This is just to make sure you agree with everything such as payment amount, as I can't increase this just yet but do want to move everyone to indie industry standards if the show does well enough to begin with, full industry standards if the show does exceptionally well, and asking you to confirm that you still want the role.

    Once I receive confirmation you are added to the roles section and a welcome email/essay will be heading your way. Believe me, it's long but does have important things in there. Then you will be asked whether you want to take part in the optional paid extra for an interview, this is the same payment as an episode. You will be sent the scripts if you choose to do this and I ask you to read through them first as the interview asks you your opinions about the themes of the show, the story, your character. It is also the only interview that allows you to promote yourself by asking you of your past and current voice acting roles and where people can find you if they want to hire you.

    The interview is done just as recording your lines are. You are sent a script, the interview questions are already recorded, and you answer the questions as though you are in a real interview. You can find some of the current interviews, cut down into some of the questions, on my project page. There are many more optional paid extras to come including more cast interviews, Q&A's, cast commentary for the episodes, outtakes and much more. All optional, all paid.

    Good luck everyone and thank you.

  • Swapped out the intro video

    The intro video throughout this month has been the third teaser. This has now been swapped out to the opening credits with the main theme.

    The opening credits won't always actually have the main theme on it though. This will be a licensed song that reflects the 'previously on The Purgatorians' segment. As well as having licensed songs throughout the show, scene changes, playing on the radio etc, as well as the end credits. This will only be for YouTube since Spotify does not need end credits and this will be completely original pieces if I can afford to pay for them.

    Also, the characters within this opening sequence may change to another, depending on who is in the episode.

Edward also works on the farm, but he often tries to find other duties to get out of doing the hard work, such as going for supplies or food and drinks. He does not like farm work much. He is a friendly guy however, who finds opportunities to mock his friends in a friendly way.


Age range – 25-30


Accent allowed – Scottish – Edinburgh


Edward needs to portray friendliness and mocking in a teasing friendly manner up to absolute terror and agonizingly pained screams that sound realistic, not over the top anime style

Line 1 - Edward has just discovered Trevor's dead body. Imagine how you would react if you found one of your friends murdered dead body.

Line 2 - Edwards head is in the guillotine as his execution is nigh. An attack has happened upon the city and ferals are killing all they come across. As help to rescue him failed, everyone has abandoned him to his fate. He knows death will be much more painful than the execution itself. He is absolutely terrified.

Line 3 - I will honestly regret this but I need to hear agonizing and terrified screams of pain as you are ripped apart by the feral's. Try to make it realistic, not anime or pantomime please.
