The Purgatorians Urgent Recasting Call
Katelyn McCann for Elena Stoneheart
Secondary role for now
(F) 30-35. Must be able to convey friendliness for episode 1. The rest need coldness, heartless, sadistic tones. All the lines here are not from episode 1. Think a realistic portrayal of a Disney Villain, but please not too over the top. Try not having a dialect but she doesn't need to sound too posh. She also doesn't want to sound common either. A nice mix in-between.
Payments are £20 for every episode she has lines in. Auditions should be raw with noise reduction applied if needed. No other enhancements please.
At least with the other choices, death, prison or good natured release home you know where you stand however Elena is probably the coldest, worst council member of them all. She wants her victims to seriously suffer, the best way to do that is to send them to Purgatory and this is what she always suggests. She also blackmails and schemes to get her own way, failing that she may kill instead.
It is not known whether she actually is just sadistic or if she is secretly trying to amass an army as big as she can get, spying and working for the Purgatorians as a mole. She is extremely icy cold and does not show any positive feelings to others unless it is pleasure from seeing other people suffer terribly. If she is angered you can be sure the person who caused this will suffer.
She may be the biggest villain alongside Frederick Chambers once the council disbands. Her role gets bigger in season 2 onwards. She may be in the show until season 4, season 3 at the earliest.
Context
Line 1 - This needs a cold, heartless approach. She is suggesting sending Jamie to the worst place possible in this land. A place that would break him and she would take great pleasure if this was to happen.
Line 2 - Elena is blackmailing Abraham. She knows his secrets and she knows this could destroy his position as the leader of the council. She takes pleasure in this, knowing the hurt this is causing Abraham. It needs a very manipulative, cold hearted approach.
Line 3 - She has just finished blackmailing Abraham from line 2 and she has taken great pleasure doing this. She knows she has the upper hand here and she relishes in it. She is a villain though so the laugh should sound this way. Not friendly as though you have just joked around with your friends.

I believe we should crush the boys hopes of ever finding his way home and let himself find his way inside of Purgatory, let him stay there and become one of them. If he is a Purgatorian he will not want to destroy his own kind. Yes it is one more for their army however who knows when they will attack, it may not even be in our lifetime. Let him rot there and we shall be safe. That is my suggestion.
Oh don’t beg dear, it is beneath you. Now we are alone I would like to remind you that I know of your little secret. The prophecy only mentions you will be killed, not us. It would be most unwise to anger me or my lips may become loose and words may start to spill from them. Oh I should also let you know I too know the secret behind you and Harper, why you care for him so much, why he has not been allocated a job. This would be most devastating to your position on the council. If you do not do what is required of you I shall have no reason to hold back this information anymore.
(Just give me a cold and evil laugh. Please read the context in the bio)
Line 1 - Sounded a little too friendly. Elena is very cold hearted and sadistic. She prefers to see people suffer and people in the old asylum, Purgatory, truly do suffer.
Line 2 - She is blackmailing Abraham, using his secrets to make him do her bidding. This needs to sound like manipulative threats. Some others do have this right and I gave feedback to them if you need an example. It sounded too friendly here.
Line 3 - The laugh was great. No problems with that.
