VFH Pilot Development Session
CATSnGOATS for JACK — DEVELOPMENT TEST ROLE
JACK — DEVELOPMENT TEST ROLE
Male, 20s — natural English accent, neutral or lightly regional.
“Jack” is a temporary name used for this development role and is not currently a character in the proposed series.
We are seeking an additional actor for this paid technical rehearsal. The actor will perform material written for Lucas, one of the principal characters, but will read it in his natural English accent.
The recorded performance will subsequently be processed privately using ElevenLabs speech-to-speech voice conversion. This will allow us to evaluate whether an English performance can be converted convincingly into a suitable continental European character voice while retaining the actor’s delivery, timing and emotional performance.
This is a technical experiment and is not an audition to portray Lucas in the finished series. Acting ability, natural delivery, responsiveness to direction and recording quality are more important than matching Lucas’s intended accent.
The actor will participate in the same live Riverside session as the other performers and may also be asked to perform contrasting secondary characters.

(Conversational) I’ve been thinking about this for a while now, and I keep coming back to the same conclusion — it’s not about what we decide, it’s about how we decide it.
(With conviction) What distinguishes a conviction from a prejudice is not the strength with which it is held, but the willingness of the person holding it to subject it to scrutiny — and to change course if the scrutiny demands it.
