The Purgatorians Urgent Recasting Call
Fizzyemi 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 - This one was really good, but there were times the tones of friendliness kicks in. The following line to this is 'You name stands true to your words Miss Stoneheart', or something like that but the same meaning. It needs to remain coldhearted with a touch of sadism as she is trying to condemn Jamie to a fate worse than death.
Take 2 - This added a bit more of the friendly tones. As take 1
Line 2 - This needs to completely manipulative but with a threatening undertone. There were still some touches of friendliness in here, and she doesn't like Abraham in the slightest. She does know that she is his puppetmaster though and the secrets she holds could either end his position or end his life.
Take 2 - Still needs a touch more of the tones mentioned in take 1. Since this is an audio drama the emotions need to be in the words alone as we don't have facial expressions or body language to work with.
Line 3 - This was good.
Take 2 - This was better considering it follows on from line 2 and she enjoys seeing people suffer mentally and physically. It had the wickedness that could be heard. take one could still be fine in other situations though.
Thank you so much for the feedback- would you like me to re audition ? :)
I always welcome resubmissions if they take the feedback on board. The feedback acts as both my notes when it comes to selecting someone for the role, and to help guide those who audition into giving the best audition they can. Hopefully increasing their chances of being cast.
Many of those already cast resubmitted taking the feedback into account :)
