The Starborn Collective (Original Sci-Fi Audio Drama) - Side Roles!
Project Overview
What is The Starborn Collective?
The Starborn Collective is a collection of three audio dramas - Two initial ones, titled Infested and Subliminals, and then Starborn, a sequel that voice actors from this wave will also be involved in. It will be produced by me, amidst a team of assistants who will be helping to produce it. It is a project that has been in development for several years but has now found its footing enough to begin the early stages of production.
Requirements:
Everyone on this team is relatively new and inexperienced, so we try to hold ourselves to the same standard that we hold any auditioning voice actors. You do not need to have a professional setup, however having a microphone that can record in good quality and having access to Discord is key to being able to partake in this project. A link to the public Discord server we have created can be found later in this description.
Payment:
Unfortunately, this project is pay-free for the foreseeable future. This is a passion project at the moment that we hope to gain traction on in the future, but it is not currently in our budget to provide payment as we are all young and aspiring creators. Of course, this is subject to change in the distant future if all goes well but is a consideration for the distant future.
Role Significance:
Some voice actors will have to fulfil greater expectations than others depending on the importance of the character that they voice. For example, being in a leading role for this project means that you will likely be interacting with myself and the other producers frequently, so it is good not to have an aversion to social interaction and becoming acquainted with us as a staff team and a community.
RELATIONSHIPS:
Most characters in this show are LGBTQ+ and end up in relationships that are also LGBTQ+. If you aren’t comfortable with portraying that, it’s best not to audition! Thank you!
ADDITIONAL NOTES:
Please submit all three lines as one file, for our convenience!
Production on this project is a bit slow right now, seeing as we've only got one writer (our creator, Eden!), but we're working to remedy that actively!
Here is the link to the discord server in which you can meet and talk to myself, other members of the production team, and community members if you just wish to be a part of the ride! https://discord.gg/mnpnVZ8PPv

Primary Side Character. Wesley Smith is a bright individual, who cares a bit too much about too many things. He’s very compassionate and kind-hearted, and would do anything for his family and friends. He’s always able to brighten up the room, and manages to make anyone crack even a little smile. He’s one of the sweetest people you’ll ever meet, and almost everyone who’s spoken to him would agree. He’s a fantastic listener, too– he doesn’t like to talk that much, but he’ll always hear what you have to say. Wesley’s got a lot of inspiration taken from the fandom’s interpretation of Stanley (The Stanley Parable).
Wesley's importance increases as seasons go on! He ends up filling the role of a Main Protagonist - If you aren't able to handle that, please do not audition!

“Oh, hey there! My name’s Wesley, and who might you be?”
“Oh my god, Bri!! I wasn’t expecting to see you here, is everything– Okay? You don’t look too good–”
“Hey, when was the last time you slept–? You really need to get some rest, you know– It isn’t good for you or the rest of the crew if you keep trying to tough through like this…”
Side Character. Dr. Bailey is a stern man, who seems to be very dedicated to his work nonetheless. Bri seems to look up to him a lot, even having had pursued her medical career to help people like her father does. Dr. Bailey doesn’t have any particular inspirations, unfortunately!!

"You can come out of hiding now. Call me Dr. Bailey. Who might you three be?"
"I have my ways of handling the infected. We will be fine."
"It is my duty as a doctor to treat you anyway. Even if it means you’ll return to your former behaviors."
Side Character. Jack Trenholm is an intelligent man, who prides himself on such. He offers help to the crew when they lose their way, offering them hospitality when needed, and attempting to keep them safe in a new environment. He comes off as a little brash, and tends to act impulsively. Jack doesn’t have any particular inspirations, unfortunately!

"Think you could spare a bit of thanks for me? The name’s Jack Trenholm, does it ring a bell?"
"I work as an assistant in a lab — And we’re studying these creatures to get a better understanding of how they work."
"He’s the best of the best, my friend. I’m lucky to be his apprentice."
Minor Character. Dakota is the sci-fi equivalent of a tired nine-to-five office worker, a man just trying to get by in a job that he hates. He’s on your side, not the Federation’s. He’s very good at “Not paying attention” during very vital moments where crews would likely do something they’re not supposed to, and he’s not afraid to brave a stern talking-to from his higher ups if it means he gets to see a crew piss them off that much. Inspirations for Dakota: No Inspiration in particular – He’s essentially a reflection of any tired retail worker you would meet in your day-to-day life.

“Respectfully, sir … There are other things to be worried about.”
“Okay … You know what? Go ahead, give your report. That keeps me busy anyway.”
“Usually we’d ask you to switch ships, but our protocols are… Well, I’m sure you can imagine. I’ll let this slide since it was an evacuation plan.”
Side Character. This is the wisest and most cunning of the infected. This character will be clear-spoken, unlike other infected. This character will be showing up in future seasons - This is not just a one-off, please keep that in mind!

“Look at what you did to them. How do you sleep at night, knowing you left these people for dead?”
“So tell me, do you want to play a game where the odds are stacked against you? Or will you spare yourself the fruitless effort?"
“Oh, don’t mind them. They’re just here for the show.”
This is a character who only appears for one episode, but may make brief appearances in the future - Please keep that in mind!

“I guess things happen for a reason, though, right?”
“No, please, stay! Come on, I’ve missed you!”
