"A Dim Light" is a short audio-only mystery/drama/crime fiction.
Detective Mcguire is put on a case involving a murder and 3 possible suspects. All suspects are acquainted with Tom Jones, the victim. Will Mcguire figure out who the culprit is?
This project is based off of a script I wrote in high school. I thought it would be nice practice for voice actors needing experience and myself with making projects. The finished project may be uploaded on Youtube and/or Spotify (NOT MONETIZED, I will not receive money from this).
Deadlines are flexible if needed.
Backups will also be casted through this project, just audition for whoever you'd like to be a backup for (If you specifically only want to be a backup, add that to your audition so I don't make you a main VA).
Requirements:
Discord (I have a server I would like the casted VAs to join)
ABCABC or AABBCC format preferred, but optional
Decent mic quality (no background noises)
MP3 Audio type only when sending recordings on Discord
Good attitude :) Have fun with it.
The Discord server is very LGBTQ+ friendly, if you are uncomfortable with that then this may not be the project for you.
Hi everyone! Thank you so much for auditioning. The official casting will be set by 12AM (EST). I appreciate everyone who took the time to audition, all of them were amazing to be honest and it's going to be really hard to choose. Look out for a private message! :)
This character has the most amount of lines!
Detective McGuire is working on a case involving the murder of Tom Jones. He has to question 3 of Tom's acquaintances and try to figure out who is the culprit.
McGuire is a tired, but determined detective just trying to get the job done.
*Slight attitude, mainly from exhaustion* I'm going to be honest with you ma'am; if we did find out, we wouldn't be here. Can you state your name, age, and relationship with the victim?
I'll have to wait for Emilia's interrogation to hopefully get the full story. Not sure she'll cooperate with what's been said about her, but I have to try. *He sighs as he tidies the files on his desk*
*Serious, raised voice* Alright, stand up and put your hands behind your back.
This character has some intense/emotional lines, if you are uncomfortable with that than this role may not be for you.
Emilia is (or was) the wife of Tom Jones. She unfortunately has to go through questioning after finding out her husband was murdered and she is not very happy about it.
Emilia is a stressed and very angry 30 year old.
*She scoffs in disbelief* He's the victim? Funny.
*She's very desperate and upset* No! You have to tell me if they killed him. You have to tell me!
*Improvise an annoyed, angry, or sad line*
Henry is (or was) the best friend of Tom Jones. He wants to figure out who murdered Tom almost as much as the detective does.
Henry is a straight-forward, interested in crime 30 year old.
*Straight-forward, maybe even a little excited* My name is Henry Caliente. I'm thirty years old and consider myself to be a close friend to Tom.
*Disappointed/Impatient* I understand. I just wish we could figure this out and get the justice Tom deserves.
*Curious, but nonchalant* Not that I'm aware of? I mean, they argued like any other married couple does.
Jessica Adams is (or was) a friend of Tom Jones. She is understandably upset and scared after finding out he was murdered.
She is a nervous and worried 28 year old.
*She nervously blurts out with a stutter* Do you know who killed him yet?
*She's embarrassed and nervous* I don't know. It's hard to even think of his name. It's all mixed up!
*Offended/In disbelief* No! Of course not.
You will be describing the setting or important information that I'm not able to show since I don't have visuals (animation).
McGuire is processing the interrogations and reading over the evidence, switching between files.
McGuire paces around the room as he visualizes the situations.
The light is faint and on the verge of going out at a moment's notice. The atmosphere is thick with tension and filled with a worried silence.
If you are inspired by this project and would like to create a single cover picture (For Youtube and/or Spotify) that would be really appreciated. I need to be sent an art portfolio or a few examples of your work. Please keep in mind this is unpaid.
*Say something you think would fit*
