Frederick is the morning chef at the Junco Diner, but this episode takes place on his first night in Cedar Bend, before he really knows what kind of town he has stepped into. He is staying at the Steelhead Motel in Room 6 while waiting for the keys to his cabin, and records himself as the room begins behaving in ways it absolutely should not.
Frederick is dry, practical, observant, and not easily rattled... or at least, he tries very hard not to be. He has a blunt sense of humor and reacts to horror less with screaming and more with tired irritation. Think “exhausted line cook meets supernatural wrongness and decides to document it because someone should.”
He should sound grounded, intelligent, mildly sarcastic, and increasingly unsettled as the episode goes on. His fear should build slowly under the humor rather than explode all at once. He is not theatrical by nature, which makes the moments where he starts to lose composure more effective.
This is a featured episode lead role. Frederick carries most of the episode through solo narration.
Voice DirectionLooking for a performance that feels natural, intimate, and believable, as if Frederick is genuinely recording into a tape recorder alone in a motel room.
Tone references:
- Dry humor
- Understated fear
- Practical, working-class exhaustion
- “I do not have time for this haunted nonsense” energy
- Slow-burn anxiety beneath a calm surface
Please avoid an overly dramatic “horror narrator” voice. This should feel like a real person trying to stay rational while the room slowly proves him wrong.
**PLEASE HAVE DISCORD.**
This project works quickly and I prefer discussions to be held over Discord.

“This is Frederick. With a C-K. I’m saying that first because I’ve been in Cedar Bend for approximately four hours, and three separate people have already spelled it wrong.”
“The motel clock says 3:12, but I don’t respect it enough to include its opinion.”
“I am not opening the bathroom door. I have existed long enough to understand when something wants attention. Attention is how you lose fingers.”
