Casting Call: Infested (Original Sci-Fi Podcast)

What is Infested?

Infested will be a Long-form Science Fiction series that is conjoined by a sister project, [Subliminals,] listed at the end, and Starborn, a sequel that voice actors from this wave will also be involved in. It will be produced by me, amidst a team of assistants who will be helping to produce it. It is a project that has been in development for several years but has now found its footing enough to begin the early stages of production. Infested has a complex plot containing heavy worldbuilding elements and many protagonists who will share spotlight to some degree but has two primary protagonists ultimately. You can find more about them below in their character profiles. 

What is Subliminals?

Subliminals is a long-formed Science Fiction audio drama that’s been in the works for a couple of years now, and is now finally able to begin production. It’s a part of a larger audio drama series titled The Starborn Collective, with no set episode count right now. Subliminals has heavy worldbuilding and lore, and a story that is constantly growing. Subliminals has multiple protagonists, although the main character is Ash, as is listed below.

Requirements:

Everyone on this team is relatively new and inexperienced, so we try to hold ourselves to the same standard that we hold any auditioning voice actors. You do not need to have a professional setup, however having a microphone that can record in good quality and having access to Discord is key to being able to partake in this project. A link to the public Discord server we have created can be found later in this description. 

Payment:

Unfortunately, this project is pay-free for the foreseeable future. This is a passion project at the moment that we hope to gain traction on in the future, but it is not currently in our budget to provide payment as we are all young and aspiring creators. Of course, this is subject to change in the distant future if all goes well but is a consideration for the distant future. 

This project is also doing special promotional releases based on the number of auditions received. See their post on Tumblr for more!

PAID CASTING CALL: Camlann – A New Audio Drama From Tin Can Audio (Remote Roles)

Tin Can Audio are casting 6 secondary roles for their new audio drama Camlann written by Ella Watts, releasing in 2024.

Camlann is a 9-part, serialised audio drama written by Ella Watts (Doctor Who: Redacted), produced by Tin Can Audio, and funded by Creative Scotland. The show is a post-apocalyptic urban fantasy, inspired by British folklore and Arthuriana. It’s a queer, hopepunk adventure about monsters, identity and survival.

All roles from this round of auditions will be recorded remotely, as such we require applicants to have an appropriate home setup – mainly a microphone, headphones, a quiet space to record, and good internet connection. We will be recording through Riverside, and so you will need the Google Chrome browser and no other specific software.

All of these are paid roles with rates affected by how many hours each character will be needed for recording. Remote recording will take place between the 6th-10th of November.

Full information on the roles available and how to audition can be found on the application form.
