PROVE YOUR ACTING | Project: Sincerely
Project Overview
ATTENTION:
This is a proof of concept video with a style of writing that is made to test the emotional range of the actors enlisted. This isn't going to be a life changing experience, but something to make your quality, and worth as a VA start pulling it's collar. Although these are a lot of characters, they only have a single paragraphs worth of lines per character, so they're certainly short. The lines featured in the audition are half the lines these characters have.
REQUIREMENTS:
Discord
High end microphone
Experience
PLOT:
The conception of this idea is a half feature length film about grief. Where a crazed writer attempts to write a book for his childhood friend, soon to be fiance. After passing away from heart attack. His fiance searches the remains to find whatever remnants of her dead husband's work could be salvaged. What turns to is a climax where she finds a book entitled "Sincerely my Hugh M. Nittie" comprised of all the characters he wrote since he was a child. These characters writing letters specifically to her as if they were acquainted. It's supposed to define character by using their work to create emotional weight that could only spawn from a subjective view. The proof of concept video is centered solely around the montage scene of the couple.
CONCLUSION:
As the lead writer, I'll be more than glad to be working with you on this project

Where the child character had a humorous ego, this one has a rather adult like one. Presumably wearing a sharp suit, smoking a cigarette, and holding a saxophone. Yet the writer still inputs his misery onto someone he wishes was himself.
I’ve never seen what happens to me at the end, but… I love repeating the middle. He wrote “Her stare was warm, but I was playing for someone I never knew.”
I wasn’t good at the brass, but-- I knew I had to be playing for someone.
This character was presumed to be made in the writer's pre-teen years, so something along the lines of a studio type casting Tom Cruise, Ryan Reynolds, or Ryan Gosling. Where they're written to be extremely relatable regardless of lacking any ACTUAL personality traits.
He wrote me when he was barely 13... so if you haven't heard, I'm kind of important. These past years hasn't been easy in his noggin.
After looking through space for a LONG time. Something began to drain after those three words were written… END OF SCRIPT.
Although mysterious the voice is yet warming, you could tell that the writer idolized his warped view of a happy reality onto this character.
By the end of my story I was inevitably your self insert
You can even tell by my curls. The descriptions of my eyes had to be cut down in my early birth, he realized you can just say they’re green.
It seems like he was written when the writer was in his teenage years. Where this character had some sort of overly perfect view of the writer's fiance's self insert. Which makes it odd, cause this character is practically a self insert of the writer, but is shown cynicism after the writer looked back on this character. Think sad, but slightly unhinged.
You told him about the writing you did, and him just as much as I… learned about your ethic. And you know what… It’s killing me.
pretending I’m unique from the person that wrote me. It hurts.
The writer would probably be in his mid to late twenties, where he's looking back at his youth, and dreaming of the "what ifs". This character is rather old like, and clearly goes through a tragic ending, but shows a peaceful clarity in his reflection.
We were waiting for class to end, and it never did. I slept under that goddamn desk for ages, and this friend of mine. She cuddled up next to me.
Even nearing our slow end in our state, I could still feel the leather like-skin of her hands in mine. If I passed like that, I’d drop the regrets I had
This character was written presumably when the author was a child, so of course there are these idealized 80's action fantasy dreams implanted in this over the top, uber masculine character. His lines are more optimistic, and keeps the tone from being straight faced, and overly dreary. As well as having some adorably bad grammar.
He made me when he was 9, and yes I fought an alien rhino… like how could I not?
He tells me a lot about you, you sound… kind’a cool. So, we can be pretty awesome friends. Like not more better than my terminator.
This character comes off as extremely sad, and possibly crazy. Coming from a time where the writer was losing it, he created a character that would resemble the same emotions he underwent. She would sound like someone too mentally tired to express any other emotion than melancholy.
I was born 3 weeks ago, not even a baby, my husband suffered from so much pain, bled out after a skytrain shattered his spine.
I’m trying to build him like he used to be. After having to go inside of his thoughts, I don’t know who he is.
What seems like the writer's attempt at a big hollywood crime movie character, this one has a slight gravely, mathew mcmumblehay voice. Representing a flawed anti-hero, without any actual flaws. Yet still has the insert like weight of the writer's feelings.
I’ve done a LOT of bad things… I was desperate, of course he wrote me like that.
She had a “direct” way of speaking, when she’s trying to hide the fact that she’s crying, and oh god I miss that smile.
