Zombie podcast [Title In The Works]

Zombie podcast [Title In The Works]

Project Overview

[Credit to soul-graffiti for the art]

Welcome to the zombie apocalypse, ladies and gentlemen!
This podcast is a work in progress, and I'm in need of some help with writers or sound editors!
Well, the story is a rather stereotypical zombie survival story, our group consists of around six survivors (give or take a few casualties) on a cross-country expedition to find a radio station, home to the mysterious "Patient Zero" who claims to be immune, and his immunized co-host, "Citizen Zed".

Some rules I'd like to get out of the way right now are the following:
-You can audition for multiple characters, but you will be cast as a maximum of two (If you have been cast as one of the main characters, you could only play an extra or zombie)
-I would prefer if you had a Skype for easy contact
-Please have a decent mic! I'm not very skilled at editing audio.

Anyone willing to help with the writing or editing would be greatly appreciated!!

Latest Updates

  • Quick Note!

    First of all, I will be adding some new characters to audition for, a new member for the main group and a few minor characters that show up throughout the story.
    Everyone who has auditioned thus far have been lovely and I'm so greatful for anyone who put their time in for this!

    And as all of you must know, all of the roles are unpaid, but if I can manage to monetize this podcast I will definitely figure out a way to pay you guys! It may not be much, however, but if I benefit from this then I want to make sure everyone who helped me out with their vocal/editing/writing talents get something out of it too!

Archibald "Archie" Benson

Unpaid
Role assigned to: cosiere

Archie is, to put it plainly, a geek. He is not very adept at picking up social cues and lets people walk all over him.
I picture him having a bit of a softer/timid voice, and when he panics he sounds rather hysterical. He sticks close to Dice.
He gets very excited when he talks about video games.

  • "And uh, don't tell Dad I grabbed the weapons. It's our little secret, right? Hehe. Well uh, I promise to be safe, stay with friends and dont trust strangers and all."

  • [Mildly concerned] “I don’t really think we should be heading south if we’re going to escape… there’s not much down south, and a lot, lot more up north.”

  • [A little awe-struck]"The first time I met Dice, I was on the phone. It was a public payphone she'd picked up, it was my girlfriend who hung up. Dice told me to stay where I was, that she would come for me. Sarah didn't. Dice found me, and took me in. She didn't even ask questions about why I was there, why I was calling a payphone. I haven't seen or spoken with Sarah,  and so far I'm very glad."

"Citizen Zed"

Role assigned to: joshua bellas

Citizen Zed is Patient Zero's co-host, he appears a bit later on in the broadcast. He is a very large, quarterback-looking guy. His voice should be deeper and perhaps a little gruff-- He tends to speak almost in a growl when upset or angry.
 He isn't used to being on the radio, so whenever he is on air there should be a twinge of uncertainty every once in a while, as he would be looking to Patient Zero for a cue .
He is not a "dumb Jock" type at all, and enjoys to hold banter with his co-host.

  • "Jesus, calm the hell down."       

  • "Look, if I'm being totally honest here, Citizen Dead--Zed?-- Or whatever is a stupid ass code name."

  • "Sometimes I think I would prefer to have a dog as a companion instead of you."

Claudius Vincent Williams

Unpaid

Claudius is a Bioengineer, however his job went down the drain when he agreed to do lectures on his field at high schools.
He is very nice, and tries to serve as a father figure for the younger members of the group. He can become easily aggresive, even at the most minor of pet peeves.
Try to convey a sense of "I have such a brilliant mind but I'm stuck in a dead-end career"

  • [Lecturing]"Bioengineering is a very important field, we use both biomedical and engineering sciences to better human health across the world."    

  • [Irritated]"My name is Claudius V. Williams, you will address me as Mr. Williams or Claudius. Not Claude or... Free Candy."

  • "The virus is fluid-borne! When will you learn to wear a face mask when bludgeoning the infected like an uncoordinated toddler?"

"Patient Zero"

Role assigned to: drfacedoctor

"Mysterious" and very sarcastic radio personality, claiming to be immune to the virus.
He doesn't have a very "radio-host" voice, sounding slightly feminine (He is a transman), but still definitely male. He says most everything in a  sarcastic monotone.

  • "How would you like to shove a loaded gun in my mouth?"

  • "Can I ask a question? What the fuck is wrong with you?"

  • "My cat does not appreciate that kind of fucking language, sir."

These are the roles for extras, because every good zombie-related thing needs plenty of threats!

  • Improv some zombie noises, or  Raider-- Do whatever!

Zoey Cauldwell
open
Unpaid

Zoey is a secretary with a pretty sketchy past.
She's extremely violent, but can keep it under wraps until she--inevitably-- explodes in a fit of rage.
Her voice should be smooth (perhaps a little flat?) and a little lower, the kind of voice you'd expect a secretary to have!

  • [Secretary voice]"Mr. Whalen's office, Miss Cauldwell speaking. One moment, please hold."

  • [Shocked/Numb]"I've opened my eyes for a third time, but the image stays the same. They're dead, all dead. It doesn't change; they don't move. Not like the people outside. They're very active, but my co-workers are very much dead. I'm glad I didn't go with them. A chance to escape from it all is exactly what I needed, but why this way? "

Leonard "Lenny" Dupuis

Unpaid

Lenny is a fresh out of highschool paintball champ.
He enters paintball tournaments to pay for his first year of college. His parents are extreme right-wing conservatives and wish nothing more than for their eldest son to have a reputable career.

Lenny thinks he's a lot funnier than he is and will make some jokes that are in poor taste without thinking of the possible repurcussions. He is the kind of guy who acts first and thinks later, he also doesn't take anything seriously which can be a good thing when everyone else is freaking out. It's usually a bad thing.

  • "Alright, Alright... So you see this scar? I got hit by a paintball and the ball didn't  break it just burrowed right into me like some demented tick."

  • [Mocking]"Lenny why don't you put more effort into your career--"[snort]"Hah, suck my dick mom, wouldn't be Regional Paintball Champion if I were in Harvard."

  • "Rifles can't be too different than a a paintbull gun, can they?"

Role assigned to: Chill_C

Leilani is a farm-hand, strong pacisfist, and amazing driver.
She should have a bit of an accent, and a harder/lower voice than most people.

  • [Pissed] "You get that gun away from me--I refuse to harm another person if they aren't attacking me first."

  • "I've been driving Faithful Fred here since I was fourteen, he can handle a few bumps."

  • [Tense]"They haven't started shooting, we have the opportunity to try to talk things out!"

Andy

Role assigned to: pixelrawtoast

Andy is a rather mysterious character, he doesn't show up very often. He is only ever in the presence of Zoey, and rarely speaks.
He should have a deeper voice, he goes from being commanding, to creepy, to condescending.

  • [Condescending]"Zoey, Zoey, Zoey... Now look what you've done... Mr. Whalen's blood has ruined your brand new blouse."

  • "I say we cut the bitch's tongue out!"

  • [Low chuckle]

Daisy "Dice" MacAlistair

Unpaid

Dice is a hotheaded Catholic schoolgirl. Her voice should be aggressive and a bit snappy. She changes topic very quickly.
She thinks she's all that, but in reality she is just trying to compensate for her lacking world experience and social failings.
There's a  chance that I may end up playing Dice.

[Side note: "Holy Redeemer Saints" Is the name of her baseball team, not a startled exclamation.]

  • "The name's Dice. Call me Daisy an' I'll cut your testicles off."

  • [Struggling with a finger trap]"Ah-- How does this damn thing work!?" [Moment of struggling] "C'mon guys it's been an hour and my hand's cramping up!"

  • "I had a pretty fuckin' wicked swing-- The Holy Redeemer's Saints!"

Various teenagers respectively from Dice's or Archie's school, they will only show up occasionally in flashbacks and at the very beginning of the story.

  • "Did you hear about Missy's party this weekend? Heard it's going to be dope." [Archie's School]
    "Sister Bertha renounced her vow of celibacy, I heard that's why she's not teaching religious studies anymore" [Dice's school]

  • "Oh. My. [i]Gooood[/i]. You are such a little freak." [Archie's school]
    "Just because your father's Reverend doesn't make you cool." [Dice's schoo]

  • [General freaking out over THE ZOMBIES]
