MOET Audio Drama 2ND ROUND

MOET Audio Drama 2ND ROUND

Project Overview

Introduction:

This is a casting call for the OUT Audio Drama (formerly known as MOET). OUT is a sci-fi, modern, coming of age story that follows the misadventures of a 21st century teen named Benjamin, two Londoners from the 1870s named Nicodemus and Clementine, and a gentle-giant alien named Lequwyn. As a fierce pirate and marauding race of aliens known as the Iovvants aim to lay siege to the planet of Mars, it is up to Benjamin to figure out how to enable the planet's life force and revive it enough so it can withstand the Iovvants' attempts to kill it. 


This is the second round of casting calls for this project.


Timeline:

Here is the ideal timeline for this project:



  • September 30 - Scripts are finalized


  • October 18 - Casting Call Closes to Auditions


  • November 5 - 12 - Announce Casted Roles


  • November / December - Begin (Virtual) Table Read-Throughs


  • January 10 - Recording Begins!


  • May 2024 - Release Pilot Episode


  • 2024 - Slow monthly release of 12 total episodes

Role Details:



  • Please note: As I'm just one person, the timeline may fluctuate as I figure out the production schedule. Our whole timeline has shifted back by three months compared the first casting call. I will do my upmost however to keep open communications with everyone so you know where this project stands. 

  • Payment will be sent via PayPal or Ko-Fi, whatever is agreed upon. Payment is a flat rate per script.

  • I will primarily be communicating via Discord however if email conversation is necessary, that is fine.

  • Recordings should be submitted as cleanly as possible (no echo, no AC or heater or background sounds, minimal mouth noises if able)—post production needs to be as streamline as possible. :)

  • With episode recordings, I would prefer everyone to have availability at the end of the year (tentative November / December 2023) for roundtable readings. This will help the VAs acclimate themselves to their fellow cast as well as be able to make any banter and dialogue flow nicer. I believe having live read-throughs together will also help me as a director since VAs will be sending me their recordings - we will not be doing live recording for this project (unless upon request).

  • Submissions in either .wav or .mp3 are fine.  

Story Summary:

Benjamin Cinturón thought the worst of his problems was trying to one-up his siblings and figuring out which university to go through. However, when aliens invade Earth chasing his Physics professor - who turns out to also be an alien - Benjamin is thrown into a time traveling race to sustain and save the life of a planet long enough for it to chose its next ruler. When things become grim, and it feels like there is no one there to help, he is lucky to find the golden light of his new friends and family along the way.

Latest Updates

  • Thank You, Everyone! - Timeline Reminders & Extras

    Happy Wednesday (soon-to-be Thursday), everyone!

    As the auditions come to a close for this project, I just want to thank literally everyone who submitted something. Again, the growth and popularity this tiny little passion project gathered astounded me and warmed my heart! You all are incredibly talented and brought many different takes to these characters - congratulations, you've made the scouting process of this job difficult!

    Looking at the timeline, I will hopefully be reaching out to people in the second week of November, but that may come to change. I will be posting updates here on the project page, as well as keeping people informed on the project's Tumblr (@studio-knightfall) and Instagram (@studio_knightfall).

    Lastly, if there's anyone who I didn't reach out to and would like to still help on the project - well have I got good news! I'm looking for extras. Mind you, there's not many lines (seriously - maybe 1 to 2 words), but if you aspire to be soldiers #1 - 10 or students #50 - 75, then reach out and we'll figure out if it's a good fit for you! Full disclaimer upfront: extras will be unpaid, I just...don't have that sort of budget - I totally understand if that's not your vibe. In that the case, I'm always happy to keep people on a list for for future projects to contact later down the road.

    Alright. I believe that's all the housekeeping items. Again, thank you all so much for sharing your talents with me - and in turn allowing me to share my project with you. Out of Time has been a dream of mine for years now, and to see it start to take shape is truly wondrous.

    So for now, this is Jaf signing off. I'll see you all in November!

  • Auditions Closing Early!

    Hello everyone,

    Jaf here! Thank you all so much for your interest in my project. Once again I am completely overwhelmed and grateful by everyone's enthusiasm. Thank you all!

    Due to the amount of auditions and interest in the project (for both Round 1 and 2) I will be closing auditions early so I can get my feet under me and listen to everyone's submissions. I can't guarantee that I will respond to everyone, but I will do my best to reply with feedback as necessary. We'll still be shooting for early November for final casted roles, but as always I will update the project and timeline to keep you all posted.

    For now though, auditions will be closing this Wednesday, October 18. The new deadline gives me roughly three weeks to make casting decisions and reach out to people.

    Again, thank you to everyone who has auditioned thus far. Cheers!

Nicodemus, one of our three main protagonists, is a human professor of literature from 1870, London. He is a single father with a young daughter, Clementine. Between raising his child and working, Nicodemus has somehow found himself stumbling upon our out of place time traveler (Benjamin) in-need.

  • Yes, hand me the linens. Thank you. (patiently) If you will, please place the kettle on the stove and make some tea for our guest? Something kind for his stomach like chamomile and lavender.

Role assigned to: Jimmy May

While a minor character, Sinon is another antagonist.


Sinon is another advisor to Tearlach disguised as one of the Coinneach. No one else aside from Iason and Agmen know that Sinon is a desert troll, known as the Ciraeth, in disguise. Hating the rule of the Coinneach, he's decided to sell his planet out to the Iovvants and to help lead their siege without being detected.


The Ciraeth and Caovah languages were inspired by the different Scottish Gaelic dialects. It's not necessary to keep this in mind, but is a bonus!

  • Oh, Your Majesty! And Merchant Advisor Smarag. To find you both at the piers is unexpected. Is there anything I can do?

  • (smiling) Hardly. I mean, just look at the scattered sky-debris that is Gormlaith. It only takes one foolish leader to end everything. Picture this: You can no longer remember the faces of the past, can no longer see through disguise or intrigue...
