Englewood After Dark is a horror/comedy audio drama following the adventures of Finn Nightingale and Eve Pemberly.
Finn and Eve started this podcast as a way to uncover the many secrets lurking on the haunted campus of Englewood University and, after facing down an ancient secret society, they are beginning to believe their own hype. Their current case, The Locked Room Murders, pushes them to their limits and forces them to see their world in new ways.
Because Englewood really is haunted, and now, so are they.
We have two roles in this call, one recurring and one nonrecurring, so please apply with that in mind. However, in the future we will need more roles filled so watch this space! If you have already auditioned for us, please feel free to audition again. Lines will be recorded asynchronously.
Unfortunately this is not a paid opportunity, but we are working tirelessly on making it a successful drama.
Please record two takes of each line in an AA-BB-CC format.
Hello everyone! We’ve been listening to your lovely voices and will be in touch very soon with our decisions!
We may say this every time, but we do honestly mean it every time: your talent makes this process so difficult!
Thank you again for auditioning and please audition for us again in the future, as Englewood After Dark has many more roles coming soon.
Lily (28) is a nonrecurring role with approximately 16 lines. Lily is an Englewood alumni. When she attended Englewood in 2014, her girlfriend, Laurie, was murdered in her dorm room in what was eventually dubbed a ‘Locked Room Murder’. As Lily is canonically pansexual, queer actors are preferred for this role.
In this episode, Lily has been invited onto the podcast to retell the events of the night her girlfriend was killed, an understandably difficult time, but it has been almost eight years since the trauma, so she has an amount of clearheadedness about the ordeal too. She is the emotional heart of this episode.
Some old classmates of mine sent me a message saying you were covering… (Laurie’s case) well...if I can help in any way, I wanted to.
Laurie was the least confrontational person I’d ever met. Even if it meant quite literally running away, she'd avoid conflict at all costs. She wouldn't even let me fight on her behalf. If someone was angry at her she'd just apologize profusely until they went away, so it's hard to imagine a situation where she'd piss someone off that much.
(On leaving Laurie in the room when she was killed) I told her I was going to take a shower, she...offered to come with me and I...told her no. Said I needed to cool off and clear my head and that I'd be better after that, so I told her to stay behind...
Lionel Wench (25) is a recurring character with a smaller role in this season, and a much larger role in Season 2. While Season 1 is currently recording, Season 2 is slated to begin recording in October of this year, so please be aware that we are looking for quite the time commitment with this role.
Wench is an IT technician in Englewood, and a serial killer. He is known as the Englewood Stalker, as he would hack into the webcams of his victims and watch them before breaking into their homes to 'romance' them before inevitably killing them when they didn't live up to his fantasies. He is a reluctant, anxious and very angry young man.
For his audition lines, please note that this is Wench taunting his most recent victim. He feels he is completely in control of the situation, and is trying to be seductive - it is not very successful.
Little birdie ... so beautiful ... always flying just out of my reach.
And yet, you've tethered yourself to me willingly. Is this an apology?
Or is it possible that my little birdie longed for my cage?
