The Wheat and the Weeds
Hello! My name is James and this is the casting call for my upcoming project, The Wheat and the Weeds.
I attempted to make this over a year ago but due to other commitments I could not complete it, I am now ready and looking forward to publishing this! This will be an audio drama and will be found on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, etc.
For this casting call I am open for many different accents so have a play around, and most importantly, have fun.
You need to have good, clear audio. If you have discord too that would be great or an email.
Unfortunately I will not be able to pay actors, so do be aware of that before auditioning.
Thank you very much and have fun auditioning.

Thank you so much for your auditions on this project, I am extending the audition deadline for an extra week to give people more time to audition. When the auditions close I will then go through them and cast the roles! Thanks again
LEAD
Corey is a farmer. His servants are working the wheat fields and his farmland is prospering, but he is a rival of his neighbouring farmer, Bill. Corey is an older man, but very wise. He speaks with slowly but with authority. Please be sure to speak clearly, accents are welcome.
The fields are excellent! You must all go home and rest.
Collect all of the weeds and burn them.

LEAD
Bill is a farmer. His servants are working the wheat fields and his farmland is not prospering and he is jealous of his neighbouring farmer, Corey. Bill is a younger middle aged man, who wants to be successful no matter what. He speaks with authority but has an anger to his voice. Please be sure to speak clearly, accents are welcome.
I cannot believe that farmer Cory. His fields are so beautiful, it's not fair.
I have an idea of how we can deal with the situation...

Why would he do this?!

SUPPORTING
Servant #1 works under Corey. Servant #1 is quite boastful.
Our fields are bountiful this year, unlike yours!
This is outrageous!!
SUPPORTING
Servant #2 works under Bill. Servant #2 likes to make jokes and throw insults.
We don't deserve this!
Hope you can work faster than you run your mouth!
Thank you sir.
Burn his field down!
We will get right to it.
Your fields do indeed look marvellous!
