KIND: An LGBTQ+ Mythical Noir Audio Drama
Mercy for Detective Ilana Stone
MAIN ROLE
Detective Ilana Stone (she/her) is a new arrival at the Silver City Police Department. She is in her late twenties, but at times her pedantic and stoic nature makes her seem older. Ilana is enigmatic to everyone who knows her, most especially Detective Dana Liu, and she navigates the world as though perpetually lost. She does have a fascination with Dana however, and attempts to get the detective to open up and talk about her past and herself.
During the season, Ilana struggles with her identity, and the growing feeling that she isn't quite who she thinks she is...
AUDITION REQUIREMENTS
We are looking for an appropriately aged voice (20s to 30s) for Ilana. Ilana is gentle and does her best to be caring, but often has trouble identifying emotion or reading other people. She speaks with a slightly monotonous voice and barely raises her voice. She is also very often bewildered or confused, so the actor will need to be able to portray this well through voice alone.
Accent can be open to anywhere - American, English, German probably makes the most sense for her character. But we are open to any accents that you think will fit!
We'd like to see natural and convincing acting rather than exaggerated or cartoonish - so please keep this in mind while auditioning.
We like to collaborate with our actors to bring characters to life - so bring your own interpretation to the role! Including more than one type of voice is encouraged. Any format (ABC, AABBCC, ABCABC etc) is accepted.
TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS
Actors must have no background noise and a quality microphone (prosumer preferred - but any good quality microphone is fine!) while recording. Please limit editing your audition to only cuts and minimising noise.

- female adult

[Perplexed. Trying to convince Dana] Wouldn’t our time be better spent focusing on the victim? We still have yet to make a connection between the victims, aside from the murder locations being within the same locale. They themselves have home addresses in more than twenty suburbs.
[Relaxed. In a romantic date setting] I think your anger is justified. I’ve observed many instances of corruption, malfeasance, and nepotism during the short time I’ve been here. Captain Eaton being the most egregious perpetrator of all.
[Curious. Innocent] I think jazz is what our thoughts must sound like, if they were ever transcribed into musical notation. It’s human, and that’s what I like about it.
