The Target is a deeply emotional and immersive audio drama with elements of audio roleplay, told from the perspective of Sean Prescott, a college student navigating identity, connection, and rejection.
Though the story is told in the present tense, it recounts events that have already happened — making it a hybrid format between real-time storytelling and voiceover-style narration, similar to what you’d hear in a cinematic voiceover. It’s not linear like an audiobook; rather, it flows with Sean’s emotions, memories, and direct conversations with the listener and other characters.
Sean is part of the LGBTQ+ community, and although he identifies as gay, this aspect of his identity is known to very few in his environment. Throughout the series, he will face inner conflicts and difficult moments of rejection — particularly from his father and parts of his college circle.
The listener character is part of the Deaf community, which plays a meaningful role in how the story unfolds.
Alongside the lead role, the series includes a cast of supporting voice actors who are already attached to the project. As the story develops, new characters will be introduced, and additional roles will be cast progressively throughout the production.
This is not an NSFW series. However, some scenes include mature themes and sensual content, such as explicit narrative descriptions and emotionally intimate moments. These are always handled within the context of the story and character development — similar to the style found in modern romance literature. Candidates must be fully comfortable with this kind of content.
Recording Process:
The series will follow a rolling production schedule, with scripts being written progressively and episodes recorded one at a time throughout the production period.
After each episode is recorded and revised (if needed), it immediately moves to post-production.
Scripts are written progressively and delivered one week before each recording.
The entire project will span from July to November 2025.

Ronnie is a student at the same college as Sean. They cross paths at a party in Episode 3, where Ronnie recognizes Sean and tries to strike up a brief conversation. While the moment is short, it gives us a glimpse into Sean’s growing notoriety and the discomfort that comes with it.
Ronnie is laid-back and friendly. This is a small speaking role with just a few lines in Episode 3, but the character may reappear briefly later in the season.
Rate: $175 per finished hour, with a minimum fee of $20 per episode.
Payment is made per episode delivered.
Note:
The selected actor must sign a contract confirming availability for the full production period (July to November 2025), in case the character is brought back in later episodes.
Keep in mind: This is a cinematic, character-driven story — not an animated or theatrical piece.
Please aim for a grounded, natural performance, similar to what you’d hear in films like Normal People, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, Call Me by Your Name or The Social Network.
Avoid cartoonish or overly exaggerated deliveries.
Think subtle, real, and genuine — like you're speaking to someone right in front of you.
(calling from below, upbeat) Yo, Sean!
All good, bro. You know me. You jumping in for the next round?
(upbeat) Cool.
This is a short, one-time role featuring a college girl who flirts briefly with Sean at a party. She’s confident and playfully forward. Her interaction with Sean is light and teasing, but it subtly adds to the pressure he's under during the night.

Rate: Flat fee of $20 for this episode.
Note:
This is a very small role, but it requires a natural, grounded performance — think understated flirtation rather than exaggerated or theatrical delivery. A soft, relaxed tone that feels real and cinematic is preferred.
(flirty, calling out from a few steps away) Hi, Sean.
(with a flirty smile) You coming for a swim?
(flirty, already turning away) Alright.
Billy is Sean’s best friend. They meet during a frat party and instantly click. She’s bold, witty, effortlessly cool, and always speaks her mind. With her confident, no-nonsense attitude, she brings levity to Sean’s world and quickly becomes one of the few people he feels he can truly trust.
She’s funny, loyal, and unapologetically herself — someone who can tease you one second and defend you the next without blinking.

(teasing, casual tone with a smirk) Hey. That appetizer not sitting right, either?
(playfully sarcastic) Almost like money, but with no taste, right? Could’ve used a dash of that pink Himalayan salt—you know, straight from Erewhon. Or the Hamptons. Depends where you summer.
(smoking, gentle teasing, mock serious tone) Yeah, those are the worst. "Just a few months" is like short for "I'll never know how good or bad it could've been." And that's the part that kills you.
This character is a fellow student at Sean’s college. She runs into him on campus and strikes up a brief conversation about his recent breakup. Though it seems casual at first, there’s a subtle flirtation in her tone, she clearly sees an opportunity to test the waters.

(shrugging) Sure.
