URGENT!!!! - Audio Drama - Legend Of Coldread: Lead VILLAIN Casting!
Project Overview
Hello Everyone ^^
My name is Renara Hawke, and I am looking for enthusiastic and passionate people to help me with an ongoing original audio drama series as part of our podcast, Coldread: The Voice Actors podcast over on Youtube and Twitch.
As a part of our podcast, each co-host produces their own intros for each episode, and I myself have used this chance to create an ongoing epic fantasy series titled The Legend of Coldread.
You can find Season 1 and 2's compilation here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLwaz6NKL6NXbFoy5khD54_in85l1S5K39
We are currently on Season 4! (a lot has happened xD) and I'm looking for someone to take up the mantle of the series' next main villain!
Above you will find an original song by myself that details the fabled story of The Mouse and The Tabby. A story from an accent time, I would highly encourage you to listen to it first in order to get an idea of the motivations of the main character.
Synopsis:
It is said that long ago, back in the ancient days of Coldread. Before the river ran true and strong, back when the earth was soaked in blood and knarled brambles ensnared the earth. There lived a mortal whose heart was set on one thing and one thing only. To claim the woman he felt was his by right. To start with, he was simply running after what he thought was a woman frightened of marriage, but as the days dragged on, the desire to help turned into a desire to claim, no matter the cost. The chase became a hunt, and the corruption of his soul drew the attention of Elvar'nas (The god of cruelty). It is said Elvar'nas came to "Mr Tabby" one night, right before he was going to give up the hunt and bestowed the gift of magic to the mortal. The ability to control the primal magics of the world, earth, fire, water, and air.
With his newly found powers he hunted his prey to the very end, trapping her but before he could take his prize, she was cut down right before him. Enraged at the loss of his bride "Mr tabby" lashed out in anger at the gods. It is said, that Evune (Once the god of the moon, now the god of Death) took the loss of this mortal woman personally, and in retribution against the gods that used these mortals for their own entertainment, resurrected the soul of this moral woman, making her eternal, and personal entombing "Mr Tabby" deep DEEP in the darkest pit of the earth, so dark that light itself won't dare even touch its entrance.
Now, after a mellenium looked away in the dark, something stires deep underground, a crack of light, footsteps so soft and strong.
Someone has found the tomb of the ancient one,and he has awakened.
PLEASE NOTE:
This is NOT a paid project, due to the ever-evolving nature of this project I cannot afford it. I hope you can be understanding in this.
The word count is not representative of the role as a whole, since scripts are produced on a monthly basis there is no way to accurately calculate the word count.
2-3 takes of each line will suffice, I like to see variety in an audition as It helps me get a good idea of an actor’s range.
No more the 3 takes of each line, please.

Hey all! I will be viewing all of your auditions today and will be making my casting announcement either today or tomorrow (the 26th) So keep an eye out! ^^ kind regards Renara Hawke
Ah, "Mr Tabby" .... what more can be said about the fabled Lord of the Hunt that hasn't already been told in the sagas of old?
Some say he is just a boogeyman simply made to scare children to sleep at night, but some say that those ancient stories have some truth to them...
His voice is that of a low to mid-range, and he speaks with a TIMELESS ACCENT (I'm not restricting his accent because I'd like to see what people bring to the table with this). He speaks with a low grumbly predatory hunger. This once man, now eternal being, is the living, breathing embodiment of the hunt for desire, and will stop at nothing to claim what is his. Yet despite his monstrous nature, there is still a man at the heart of him, a mortal man that once wanted love but never quite knew how to get it. But right now, that man is buried deep, under the layers of corruption that now ensnares his soul.
[After a millennium locked away, in the prison HE trapped you in, dark, cold alone, trapped in purgatory, frozen in time at the edge of death, you find yourself feeling the air of your skin, the breath in your lungs, the faint glimmer of light through a crack in the wall, and a figure before you. You are alive, truly and alive once more, and it feels good.]
(Dazed, slightly groggy, that slowly builds to joyous maniacal laughter)"I ... I can see again... I can feel again ... hah ...HA! I'm alive. I'm free!!!" [Joyous maniacal laughter]
[Taking your first unsteady steps into this new unfamiliar world that you find yourself in, something strikes you. The tomb you're in, you feel as if you remember something more about this place, you can taste it in the air, the energy from the stones itself, your favourite taste, pain ... fear, pain and suffering .... delicious.]
(Dark, Curious yet predatory, taking pleasure in the pain)"This place feels familiar ... close to my heart ... it smells like ... [Deep inhale through your nose] ... suffering."
[You have just been informed, that the object of your desire, your bride by right, the prize you have hunted for so long, is alive. How can this be? You saw her die right in front of your eyes, how? ..... it was HIM! He brought her back! he stole her from you!!! How DARE he!!! She is here. You WILL find her and claim her! ... as for the god who took her ... he will pay for this.]
(All of the rage you have, everything you've buried, after thousands of years trapped, unleashed!)[In an enraged cry] "You can't hide her from me forever Evune! I know she's here!!! [Low menacing growl] She is mine by right, and I will hunt her to the end of this land if have to. The gods will fall one by one, and this realm will be mine."
