The Strange Compendium of Richter & Rorschach: Children in the Trees

The Strange Compendium of Richter & Rorschach: Children in the Trees

Project Overview

Reupert, who deduced where his wife was looking, turned as pale as the children who held their daughter captive high up in the trees. The breeze brought with it the sound of children giggling, and in an instant, before they could scream for help, Mr. and Mrs. Jones saw little Ginny V. Jones pulled backwards, swallowed by the darkness and the laughter.

Not all is what it seems with the pair of Alan Richter and Emil Rorschach as the skeptical Theo Bulloch accompanies them on an errand to St. Aberdeen Hospital. Civilization is held tightly by the hands of the forest, and as we soon learn of Oplichten's neighboring town called Pepperton, we slowly discover the motivations behind Richter and Rorschach's trip. Theo suspects the convenience of having met the two gentlemen right when she needed them, but will it be too late? Has she fallen into a scheme of two conmen? Or are they something much worse? 


This casting call will be for the next story of The Strange Compendium of Richter & Rorschach, called Children in the Trees. I am looking to cast several minor characters who will be appearing in this particular story in an audiodrama version of The Strange Compendium. 


Please note that while I cannot reimburse your hard work monetarily, I will credit your contributions to the project, and provide a means for others to check your works if you have links for that. 

If you're simply interested in the story itself or would like to do a little background research on the characters, please check out this link where The Strange Compendium of Richter & Rorschach will be posted:

**Children in the Trees is currently undergoing revisions, and will be posted up once all critiques by the editor are addressed. I will post an update on this page once Children in the Trees is available for reading!**


Once again, it is an honor and pleasure to have your interest in this humble project of mine, and I look forward to hearing your talented voices!

  • The Official Release of TSC's First Installment!

    Why hello there!


    I hope you're all doing peachy keen in your week so far, and I just wanted to announce that the first installment of The Strange Compendium of Richter & Rorschach has just been released to the public! 


    This literary work has taken me a good three months to complete (I initially released it two months back but the original Introduction was unsatisfactory, so here we are!), and I've been extremely fortunate to have the TSC team encourage me and push me to create a (hopefully!) great work that you'll enjoy reading. 


    You can check out the introduction to The Strange Compendium here, and I hope you'll enjoy reading it as much as I've enjoyed writing it. (Also, vote and share it to your friends if you're willing and able and would like to help support the project, if you could please!)


    For my voice actors/actresses out there, I hope the story will be good referential material of the Strange Compendium's world and its characters for you as you audition for parts here on our open casting call. 


    Also, the audiobook/audio drama version of the Introduction will be released in the near future (with original musical compositions by our resident musician, and the amazingly talented VAs casted from this site!), so please keep your eyes and ears peeled! 


    Wishing you all the best,


    Yun Oe


  • Update: Discord in the Compendium and Deadlines!

    Hey there everyone, it's been a good little while, hasn't it? It's incredible to see so many auditions in the span of time that the project's been up, and I'm even more excited to be working with the incredible voice actors and actresses on this project (once we've got everyone picked out)! 


    Recently, my health took a rather bad turn, so things have been delayed in the midst of my condition, but I am better now, and yes, this project is still on the tracks to completion! 


    You're probably thinking, "Geeeeez Yun, stop pushing back the deadline, I'm ready to be casted already!" as the deadline has been pushed back *yet* again (to the 16th of September, mind you), but I will be casting and contacting actors and actresses and may cast everyone BEFORE THIS DEADLINE, so bear that in mind! 


    As of right now, the completed written work of TSC's Introduction will be published at the end of this month, and I anticipate that the time between polishing up "Children in the Trees" and the release of the Introduction (and its corresponding audiodrama/audiobook recording) will be spent searching for more talents on the short stories that I've completed thus far in my horror-fantasy adventures (so if you don't get cast by any chance, there are still opportunities!). 


    Also, if you haven't checked out Discord yet, TSC has a Discord group for its members (VAs, composers, artists, and anyone else involved with the process are in this group). It's a pretty neat app to use, so if you are casted and haven't acquainted yourself with Discord yet, I recommend you do so, as we will be using that as our main form of communication among members of the project. All in all, I'm back in full swing, and I look forward to your auditions! 


    Wishing you all the best,


    Yun Oe

  • Extended Deadline & First Round of Casting!

    Hello everyone!


    So, considering that the first story within TSC is in the process of being finished and recorded, I thought it was only fitting to extend the deadline of the second story, since it will take a while for the Introduction (with Wendigo gangsters!) to be completed anyways. That being said, I'll be casting individuals who I feel are just absolutely perfect for some of the roles that I've put up on here, but for roles that haven't been casted, feel free to audition until the new deadline rolls in! 


    Wishing you all the best,


    Yun

The oblivious young daughter of Adelaide and Reupert Jones, Ginny has grown up with everything she could want...but she always wants more. Just as eager to assimilate into Pepperton as her mother is, Ginny befriends some impressionable neighborhood children. She’s 11, and a bit of a mischievous child. Just a bit.

A doctor who currently works for St. Aberdeen Hospital, he used to be a family physician in the prairie town of Shawnee, Kansas. A man with little material interests, he works hard to make life easy for his wife Adelaide and daughter Ginnifer, and doesn’t concern himself with doohickeys like “toasters” or “dishwashers.”


  • “Can’t stay too long; head surgeon Whitmore wants me to be there today at the operating room at eight to prep for a pregnant patient.”

  • “A toaster? We don’t need a toaster. We have an oven. It serves us just fine.”


  • “Adelaide, darlin’, what’s gotten into you? We used to be content with our modest cottage, and the instant we move to Pepperton, you go off spoutin’ this material nonsense! You’ve changed.”

Guest Narrator
open
Unpaid

A gentleman who possesses a way with words and trades off with the primary female narrator (that’s-a me, Yunnie!) on third-person scenes for a refreshing change of voice. 


In future stories, I will alternate between casting female and male guest narrators, but for this story, a male narrator will be most suitable to balance out vocal dynamics!


(Any accent is acceptable.)

  • Adelaide Jones had spent the rest of her morning and afternoon leafing through cookbooks and recipe cards. She selected to make: potato dumpling soup for an appetizer, stewed quail on toast for the main course (just to show her husband what he’d miss without the convenience of a toaster), and blackberry roly poly for dessert. She fussed over the meal and set out to make a couple other side dishes, and once most of the items were on the table, searched for her daughter, Ginny V.
