ABOUT THIS PROJECT
Welcome to the Brass Eagle is an original 10-episode fantasy podcast series based around the Brass Eagle Tavern, an establishment whispered about in myth and legend. Starring Mike LeBeau, E.R. Hollands, Maddi Albregts, and Connor Bushoven.
Episode 1 will focus on the travels of Amara Silvertongue, an aspiring bard who leaves home and encounters strange rumors about a place known only as the Brass Eagle Tavern. The story follows her travels as her own life passes her by, and she is eventually set on a collision course with the mysterious inn.
Episode 1 will be used to generate interest and launch a crowdfunding campaign. Once funds are raised, episodes 2-10 and additional content will be produced.
Once completed, episodes will be released bi-weekly for the duration of the show in 2024. The target audience is for fans of fantasy drama ranging from teens to adults in the 20-30 age range.
Please note that this is a non-union production. This pilot episode is being produced on a set budget, with each actor receiving an agreed-upon rate for their participation. Payment will be via Paypal, delivered upon receipt of final lines.
The long-term goal is to raise enough to pay all voice actors fairly and to produce the entire series at a broadcast-quality level.
If the funding goals aren't reached, then the pilot will be shopped around to different podcast networks in an effort to secure funding for episodes 2-10.
ABOUT THIS CASTING CALL
This casting call is for the supporting cast for episode 1.
The show is still being written, and is still some time from beginning production. My goal is to have episode 1 produced by the end of the year, with a target for having all lines recorded by the end of November 2023. This may change due to actor availability.

IMPORTANT NOTES:
This project is LGBTQ+ friendly and contains characters of many different identities. Unless otherwise specified, actors of any identity or accent are welcome to apply to any role.
Several of the characters don't have a set gender, so feel free to audition for any you feel may be a good fit. Some characters may be rewritten to better fit an actor if I feel it's an especially great match. The goal is to find actors that can embody the characters convincingly, with the details following suit!
You are welcome to audition for multiple roles if you feel you could be a good fit.
After the initial round of auditions, a shortlist will be created for each role. Actors may be contacted individually
Production on the entire series will begin after the results of the Kickstarter are available sometime around February/March 2024. Production is expected to take anywhere from 6-12 months, so please ensure you can commit to the role if you're auditioning for a character that appears across multiple episodes.
