Tales of a timelord ep.2
Project Overview
"Tales of a Timelord" is a meticulously crafted YouTube series that explores the tantalizing "what if" scenarios surrounding the Doctor from Doctor Who and their companions as they traverse the landscapes of popular works of fiction. This is my dream fanfiction scenarios.
My Approach:
My series unfolds in two captivating parts, ensuring a rich and engaging experience for our listeners.
Part One: The Documentary Style Overview Ibegin each adventure with a deep dive into the heart of the chosen work of fiction. Through a documentary-style lens, I provide background on the author, director (for cinematic works), and the inception of these iconic stories. It's a journey into the heart and soul of the narrative, giving our audience a newfound appreciation for the creative minds behind these timeless tales.
Part Two: The Audio Drama In the second part, I delve headfirst into the enthralling world of audio drama. Here, our heroes, the Doctor and their companions, become part of the story. It's an immersive and professionally produced experience that takes you beyond the pages of a book or the frames of a film and places you at the center of the action.
Part three: finally, we do behind the scene where we go into how this episode was created, and basically to give a in-depth look to help new people getting into into audio dramas learn
Your Opportunity:
I would like to say I’m personally, so so so so happy that we can start casting for episode two. I highly recommend you guys check out the source material that this episode takes place in Jim Henson’s labyrinth and Doctor Who. Also, episode one of the series when it comes out soon! If you guys are already familiar with these two IP’s you might notice two key roles are not in this listing this is done purposely as they’ve already been casted but. If you do you want to audition for those roles, please send me an audition anyway. You never know something might happen, and I may need to re-cast those roles. I listen to every one of your guises submissions , so just put those auditions in one of your guises submissions. If you did audition for part one, you may notice that there’s a lot more characters with fewer compensation. This is done for a reason. There’s a lot more characters in this movie that have farless screen time which will reflect in this as well so I highly encourage you guys to audition for as many roles as possible. For roles such as the goblins, you’ll get paid for each separate role you do. Can’t wait to hear what you guys got I also can’t wait to meet new people keep creating keep evolving!

Jareth is the charismatic and enigmatic ruler of the Labyrinth. He exudes a commanding presence, with a mixture of menace and charm. His motives are often ambiguous, and he delights in toying with those who enter his domain. He will be the main villain of the story, so need a lot of flair along with wicked and argumentative humor.

You want that, don't you, dearie?"

Description: Knocker 2 is a statue with a door handle lodged in its mouth, making it unable to speak clearly. It tries to communicate by mumbling and making indistinct sounds. This creates a humorous and surreal effect as it struggles to provide information. Constantly arguing with knocker 1 I’m looking for someone who could provide a stuck up proper voice, as this character is extremely sassy and argumentative https://youtu.be/ekZiFrMUyiY?si=8sDko7kf9wOkdWFq

I said it's no good talking to him. Oh, dear me, no. He's deaf as a post, that one, I can tell you.
YOU SHOULD TALK! ALL YOU CAN DO IS MOAN!
Knocker 1 is a statue with a door handle placed in its ears, rendering it unable to hear properly. It frequently asks for repetition and struggles to understand what is being said, adding to the comedic and whimsical atmosphere.
“What? What? I can’t hear you!” (due to handles in ears)
Mumble, mumble, mumble, that's you. You're a wonderful conversational companion, I must say.

- Description: The four guards are part of the Labyrinth’s quirky security. They are creatires stationed at the gate, each with a unique and comedic position. Two guards are positioned on either side of the gate, with one standing on top of a shield and the other positioned underneath it. Their main role is to not allow people passage into the labyrinth further until they get there a little right the ones on the top, one more competent than the ones on the bottom. One on the top always tells the truth the other on the top always five. https://youtu.be/grOpvXBmTx8?si=N1n15WvdXlXdZng7

(the top of the shield, pointing his head downward) "I’m not the one who’s uncomfortable. He’s the one who’s uncomfortable."
(the bottom of the shield, grumbling) "Hey, it’s not easy down here, you know!"
(the top of the second shield, confused) "Why wouldn’t we talk? We’ve got mouths, don’t we?"
The statues are primarily intimidating and threatening. They are designed to deter intruders from escaping the Oubliette, using fear and intimidation as their main tools. Their behavior is aggressive and urgent, aiming to scare Sarah and her friends into staying put. They talk a big talk, but aren’t really menacing for a lot of these characters I would really like more proper English but not required

"DON'T GO ON!"
"Sorry, sorry. Only doing me job."
"Oh, please. I haven't said it for such a long time. You've no idea what it's like, stuck here in this wall, and with --"
The goblins in Labyrinth are small, scrappy, and mischievous creatures with a comically grotesque appearance. They have exaggerated features such as sharp teeth, wild hair, and ragged clothing. Their role throughout the film is to add a humorous and chaotic element, often seen in various scenes causing trouble or creating a mess. They definitely have a more raspy tone to them compared to anything else I do, but also gravelly similar to other roles on this episode, this is a role we’re hiring at large, so please come with as many voices, as possible and we will also accept as many people that fit in as possible.https://youtu.be/nJ19zSF6Qs8?si=KRh7lb8xZX-BAiHp
she’s going to say it.
where did she even learn that rubbish it doesn’t even start with I wish.
So where's the problem? "I wish the goblins would come and take you away, right now." Hmm? That's not hard, is it?

“Doctor, look out!”

“We’ll face it together, Doctor, like we always do.”
Certainly! Here’s a more detailed description of Sarah:
### **Sarah:**
- **Appearance:** Sarah is a teenage girl, typically seen in 1980s fashion. She has long, curly hair, often styled in a voluminous, somewhat messy fashion. Her clothing usually includes a patterned blouse or top, layered with a cardigan or jacket, and high-waisted jeans or denim skirts. She often accessorizes with a headband or other period-appropriate accessories. Her look reflects both her youthful style and her transition from a teenager into a more mature role throughout the film.
### **Personality of Sarah:**
Sarah starts off the story as a in-mature selfish brat of a character who is very argumentative and hates her family life. Getting angry at her baby brother she accidentally gets him wisked away to the goblin city. When she first arrives at the labyrinth . She’s very reliant on other people. This is because at this point in the story she is still in mature so is unable to take responsibility for her actions in the story. This constantly puts her at odds with other characters such as hoggle and obviously jareth. She also heavily rely on the Dr. Jamie and Zoe help her through to save her brother along with others. By the end of the story, though, she wants to do things for her soul, grow up and save her brother.

1. (semi confident) Give me the child. Through dangers untold and hardships unnumbered, I have fought my way here to the castle beyond the Goblin City, to take back the child you have stolen for my will is as song as yours and my kingdom is as great.
2. [yelling] Goblin king Goblin king wherever you might be take the child far away from me.
3. (swallowing her fear, feigning confidence) "It's... it's a piece of cake."
There’s four in total their main role in the story is basically torturing Ludo with sticks that have skin chicken on them. I know it sounds really weird before our heroes, find Ludo, I’m looking for people with lots of energy who is down to make weird noises that may not make sense along with normal speaking dialogue I know a lot of characters have brief appearances, but these characters have very brief appearances if you can get this role right? I’ll probably be using you for other goblins throughout this story https://youtu.be/vVjrDI2cjuc?si=RxpX3-gtcP2suhhP
**Goblin 1:** (yelling) Oi, watch where you're poking, you bumbling fool!
**Goblin 3:** (grinning) We're seeing who can poke it the longest without getting bitten.
**Goblin 3:** (panicking) The beast is out of control! **Goblin 4:** (angry) Get a hold of it, you idiots!
