The Purgatorians Urgent Recasting Call 2
Lunx!! for Eliza Hamilton
Eliza Hamilton is the loving wife of Darwin Hamilton. She is a bit of a nag, but she loves him dearly. She is a kind and friendly grandmother type mostly, who always has Mason going to her house for a slice of her homemade apple pie. She is the surrogate mother to Kimberly, who she took under her wing when Kimberly first arrived here as they reminded them so much of their own daughter who has passed on.
Age/Gender - 70 Female
Accent - British Preferred, American accepted. Eliza's husband is voiced by a British man. Please have the lovely old grandma tone of voice.
Pay is £20 per episode this character has lines in. It isn't a flat rate for all the episodes they are in.
Please see this reference video as to how she should sound.
Context
Line 1 - Jamie is looking for Kimberly, and has just called out to Darwin to get his attention but was ignored. Eliza has come out to greet Jamie, not knowing who he is as this is their first meeting. She is a friendly lady though.
Line 2 - Darwin doesn't often express his love to Eliza, but has just told her how much he still loves her, just as much as the day they got married. This has caused Eliza to get a little emotional with his words.
Line 3 - Eliza can no longer stand Kimberlie's behavior and is kicking her out of the house. She has just been told by Jamie that Mason is no longer allowed anywhere near her, which also means he can no longer visit. Eliza loves little Mason and this has broke her heart. She also loves Kimberly, but that was the last straw.
Please take note that Eliza does have a mercy killing storyline later on. Please make sure you're comfortable with that before auditioning.

(friendly) Oh don’t worry about him, deaf as a post, he probably doesn’t have his hearing aids turned on... (Calling out to Darwin) Darwin... DARWIN... (Talking to Jamie) See, stone deaf. Anyway, you seem to know my husband but I don’t believe we know you. I am Eliza Hamilton, how can I help?
(A little choked and surprised)Oh Darwin, where did that come from? You haven’t spoke like that in years. I appreciate every word though. Darwin Hamilton, you never fail to surprise me. I love you too
(Angered but upset) No. No buts. Your jealousy is getting me and Darwin ostracized by everyone we've been friends with for a while. We took you in, gave you a home. We loved you like a daughter. (Getting more upset) You've thrown everything we have ever done for you back in our face. Losing Mason was the last straw. (Close to tears) Please... Pack your bags and leave.
You definitely had the voice, but there was an accent there that does not suit this character I'm afraid. She needs to preferably be British, or I shall take American if no British takes are submitted. It would cause far too many rewrites otherwise.
