Overview: "A conspiracy-obsessed ex-reporter, a spoiled daddy’s girl, an unemployed Norwegian gamer, and a party girl, monitored by their exhausted handler, enter virtual reality simulation whose effects begin to leak into the real world." Our website can be found at https://dream-podcast.com/
In this round of casting, we will be casting three roles. Daniel Whitmore is the father of Bianca, one of the test participants, as well as the billionaire owner of Whitmore Industries- the company financing the D.R.E.A.M. Project. Jaime Jimenez is Daniel Whitmore's assistant, and fiancé of Bianca Whitmore. And finally, Karen Luna is Emma Napper's (former) sorority sister, whom she (Karen) has unspoken feelings for.
As with everything, good audio quality is essential. Submissions will be through Google Drive and direction will be done through Discord, so you will need to either already have, or get an account with both of those. Payments will be sent through Paypal. Actor pay is 10 USD per episode.
Recording sessions are scheduled for 90 minutes per episode to allow for retakes and direction. If you let the episode director know in advance, then multiple, smaller, recording sessions are acceptable. Jaime Jimenez is in one episode between season 1A and 1B, Daniel Whitmore is first in the aforementioned episode and then becomes a series regular starting at the end of season 1, and Karen will become a recurring character in season 2. Because of this, actors interested in the roles of Karen and Daniel need to be prepared to commit to an extended project.
If you have any questions you can message us here. Casting decisions will not be made until after the deadline (4/30/2019)
Series Regular
Bianca’s father, the 57-year-old CEO of Whitmore Laboratories, a large pharmaceutical company. He sponsors the product because he is curious about how the simulations will affect the participants mentally and wants to invest in virtual reality as a treatment for certain mental and emotional conditions...or to induce those conditions in other people.
Preferred vocal range: Medium to low.
Pay rate: 10 USD/episode
I want to know why you ignored my request to refrain from interacting with my daughter.
What I do find to be my business is the fact that I discovered my daughter wearing a particular item of jewelry that, to my knowledge, she never owned before.
I like you, Jaime. I always have. I see a lot of potential in you. I likely would have given my blessing. However, the disrespect you have shown in pursuing my daughter despite my warning is troubling.
One off character.
Jaime Jimenez is Daniel Whitmore’s assistant and the fiancé of Bianca Whitmore. He is a brilliant young man with a keen mind for business, which has allowed him to quickly move through the ranks at Whitmore Industries and become Daniel Whitmore’s protégé. Mr. Whitmore holds him in very high regard and Jaime has a great deal of respect for Mr. Whitmore as well. However, Jaime can also be a bit rebellious and occasionally overconfident, going against his boss’s strict orders not to pursue his daughter, Bianca, romantically.
Preferred vocal range, medium to low.

Good morning, Mr. Whitmore. I brought my journals from the Lysosyn project.
I wasn’t aware we were living in the 19th century and that I had to ask my intended bride’s father for his blessing for our union.
You have only called her “my daughter” this entire time. How can this be about Bianca? When was the last time you even talked to her?
Recurring role
Karen is a 20 year old party girl, going to school to study drinking... I mean history. She has fallen in love with her sorority sister Emma, who joined a research study to take some time off of school. She isn't... exactly.... failing ALL of her classes... She has a D in one of them. Since Emma started her leave of absence, Karen has found much less satisfaction in partying. She worries about Emma because they haven't gotten to talk much because of the research study and the parties.
Preferred vocal range: medium to high

I just, you know…miss you and stuff. It’s no fun here now. Like, things aren’t the same without you. I’m not the same without you. I actually did homework yesterday for once. How fucked up is that?
Um…yeah, I mean, I’m still up for that, and the threesome with the fireman was really fun, don’t get me wrong, but uh…maybe it could be just us next time? Without a third person? Unless you don’t want to, I mean, it’s fine either way, I’m down for anything, it would just be fun to do for once. If you want.
Oh my God. Oh my fucking God, yes, of course I know who Emma is! She’s only like my best fucking friend in the entire world and no one on this fucking campus knows who the fuck she is and I keep thinking I’m crazy! But you’re here, and you’re asking about her, so I know I’m not crazy! Do you know where she is? What the fuck is going on?
