Greetings voices!
The name of the project is Mule, a gritty but comedic audio drama wherein we look at the lives of an intergalactic smuggler and his crew. Currently casting for the pilot episode, in which a man in shambles comes into possession of a ship in shambles and begins assembling a team to accompany him on runs, through battles and life in general on the wrong side of the law. The plan is to make an entire series if this does well. It will be available on youtube, soundcloud and other platforms. Contains strong language and some mild violence.
Roles that need filling
Esperanza Finley, our captain's ex from years ago. She was a lounge singer before, so hers would be a voice with either a bit of rasp or a bit of silk to it. She appears to have done quite well unlike him, and is a very happy, charming sort unless she is addressing those she sees as beneath her.
Sample Lines
1. (Gushing about her upcoming trip to an employee. She is genuinely happy, and quite oblivious to her subordinate's wistful expression)
We leave this weekend. It's amazing how beautiful Sub-equatorial Earth is this time of the cycle! He said the Milky Way's too far to travel but I convinced him otherwise. We've vacationed everywhere this side of the Shard Cluster, and I am yet to find the equivalent of a good Earth tan anywhere.
2. (Silly mobster type accent.)
Work here? Toots, I own this joint. Everything you see, all mine.
3. (Gently, after just being told she looks lovely by an old friend with a busted up face)
Thank you! You look... a little rough. Is everything okay?
4. (Conversing as she passes a run-down old club)
I know. I used to work in places like that. Now I could probably buy three of them if I sold one of my rings.
5. (Sickly sweet, addressing an aging barmaid in the bad part of town.)
Buy a drink? We're in The Wastes. I could get poisoned for free if I wanted. You know why I'm here. What's the news?
Kelleigh Blazer, a future onboard gunner and this universe's equivalent of a military brat. Her father is an officer in the Galactic Navy and is seldom home, but doats on her when he is. She is young enough to frequent the VR-cade where we first meet her, but old enough that she probably has somewhere better to be. American or English accent and a touch on the hauty side.
Sample Lines
1. You actually slept in a Rentakube? And survived? I thought if the jackheads didn't kill you the bedmites would.
2. (Bemoaning her chances of being allowed to gun on a ship.)
Yeah, that'll go over well. Hey Daddy, can your only daughter and the apple of your eye blast off into the infinity of space in a reinforced tin can with a bunch of men you've never met?
3. (Calling out to the engineer under duress in the middle of ship combat.)
It's jammed... it's jammed! Declan, clear me!
4. (Frank, and then grossed out.)
You are not okay. In addition to that job done on your face, your arm's bandaged now. And I'm pretty sure you're soaking through it, eeww!
5. (No words here, just a huff or three. She huffs a fair bit.)
Promise, a sentient AI that serves as the voice of the ship. She seems to have been designed by a rather lonely programmer, as in companion mode she is chipper, flirtatious and sickly sweet. She seems wryly aware of this but cannot go against her programming unless switched to a different mode. The other mode we see early on is maximum efficiency, where she is clipped and terse.
Sample Lines
1. (Bubbly, chipper, creepy at the end.)
Good morning captain! Are you ready to go and do? I'll bet you are, you slept quite well! I watched you...
2. (Happily naming off each crewmember as they pass the inner airlock and come onboard.)
Cilas, defense. Poppop, defense. Declan, Engineer. Kelleigh, defense. Koslin, captain.
3. (Distressed, pouty.)
Combat grid empty, hull integrity twenty-six percent, intrasecter engine seized!
4. (Crisp and succinct.)
Yes Declan. Initializing repair protocolThree-A. Cloaking device engaged at maximum. Forward thrust thirty percent.
5. (Same as line 4.)
Re-initializing companion mode. *Instant switch back to bubbly* Do I really have to do this when the captain's not here?
Please have one file for each character you audition for, and title it [charactername].mp3. You can submit them via email at audiblemadness13@gmail.com. The deadline is this coming Sunday night, January 13th at 11:59 pm. Looking forward to hearing your interpretations!
