The Search That Never Ended - Audio Thriller

The Search That Never Ended - Audio Thriller

Project Overview

MUST JOIN DISCORD SERVER AFTER AUDITIONING


We are currently casting for an upcoming mystery/thriller audio drama project centered around a young woman who refuses to let her mother's disappearance remain unsolved.


Five years after her mother vanished, Amani discovers a disturbing connection between her mother's disappearance and a series of missing people across Staten Island. As she gets closer to the truth, she realizes the person she's searching for may be much closer than she ever imagined.



This project focuses heavily on emotional performances, suspense, family relationships, mystery, and psychological tension.


For the audition, actors should submit one take of each assigned scene.

Don't worry about having professional recording equipment. A quiet room and a clear recording are more important.


We're looking for performers who can bring these characters, and their secrets to life.

We’re looking for someone to create art for the story and help bring the world to life. This could include character art, which would be great for our actors to have a visual reference for the characters they’re playing, as well as graphic design for the story. Ideally, we’d love to find someone who can do both.

Although this is an audiobook, we want to make the experience more immersive for people who watch it on YouTube or follow the community. Having artwork throughout the story would give them a better understanding of the world we’re creating.
