The Purgatorians Urgent Recasting Call

Project Overview

THE PURGATORIANS PREQUEL BEFORE THE SEQUEL

This show is set during the final 4 days before the cycles end, an extinction level event that occurs once every 15 years. The citizens are completely unaware this is about to happen, with only a few who know the full extent of this devastation. Unfortunately, this is not the only deadly threat the citizens have to put up with in these 4 days. A deadly attack by The Purgatorians is heading its way to the city, and the council orders an execution. Not to mention the murderer roaming the city as well. The final episode is the end of the cycle so voices must be raised as though speaking over a fierce storm there.

THE PURGATORIANS MAIN SHOW

Set 10 years after the event of the prequel, the survivors join a whole new cast of characters, still oblivious to the new people in this land that history will repeat once more in 5 years time. However, this time a hero of prophecy has arrived to put an end to the council. An end to the Purgatorians. An end to the cycle. The problem is he's just an ordinary guy with no powers to speak of. He is far too trusting and friendly for this world and just wants to return home. This world will try to break him and all those he cares for in order to see the prophecy fulfilled, or to rid him from this land so it can't be fulfilled. He has the council and The Purgatorians vying for his blood and they won't stop until he's no more.

With twists galore and containing some scenes people may find upsetting or offensive. Viewer discretion and the ability to be comfortable to act in Game of Thrones style stories is highly advised. There are no sex scenes in this show.

This is not a fantasy show, it is centered around real life but in a not so real place. It contains some hard hitting storylines, dramatic and sad. I am hoping the show can run for a while, 5+ seasons of 52 episodes each. Also 5 feature length Christmas specials and anthology episodes that will give too much away right now if I tell you what they are about.

Due to needing to recast for someone dropping out of the role for the two characters they voiced, this is an urgent recasting for Alice and Elena. This runs for a little over 2 weeks. Commitment is needed for Elena, however Alice can be wrote out of the show at any point near the midseason finale of season 2. I can't give anyone cast with this recasting any time to settle in I'm afraid. The show is due to go live in November and I'm wanting to avoid any delays. Unfortunately if these roles can't be cast, a delay will have to be forced. Scripts and a deadline will be given, starting from episode 1, immediately after being cast for the character.

Latest Updates

  • We have a new main title image

    At the moment, I don't currently have a subscription to casting call club as the new image cost a lot to have an artist draw it. Due to this, I can't change the old main title image to the new one in my profile.

    I don't think I can upload images to updates, but you can see it on my X profile @serenitysolodev, or the YouTube channel as the banner on Serenity Solo Studios. I tried uploading it to this but it kept opening up in a new tab. This will be swapped out as soon as possible here.

    I truly apologize about the old main title. I couldn't afford a proper one at the time and foolishly believed the AI one would work fine as a placeholder until I could. I now realize that I should have just uploaded the logo and dismissed the AI one completely. I do however understand that ignorance is not a defense, and hopefully I can regain your trust one day. It was entirely my fault, accepted through my own choice. Please do not penalize the cast in any way due to my stupid mistake. Only target me for that.

    Now it has gone, the show is now AI free from the point I removed the placeholder. From scripting to voicelines, art, music, images, videos, etc. Getty Image has a policy against AI on their platform, from my last check I did, do until I can afford to use fully original images, I shall try my hardest to limit AI entering the show by using Getty Images and others who have the same policy against it.

    All music and sound effects licensed will be closely scrutinized before being added into the show to try to limit AI entering this way too. Since they are licensed I can't as of yet fully guarantee this, but I will try my hardest to keep them out. When we move over to fully original sound effects and music, I can then guarantee it definitely won't be AI.

    I wanted to build a trusting community. One in which voice actors feel safe and happy to work on the show with me. I foolishly destroyed this in the first step, and I have learned from this mistake, and I hope one day I can rebuild the trust once more.

  • The very first scene of the show.

    Here is something very, very special. The rough draft of episode 1 is being put together and I would love to share a preview of episode 1 with everybody.

    Here, you will meet the antagonists and their unfortunate victim. This is exactly why the prequel was made. So you could jump straight into the action with barely any setup. Stories have already started, some concluded, and you will end up witnessing the final 4 days of the cycle and learn more about some characters before the main show begins.

  • Confusion needs to be cleared about the last update.

    The update I made, that people received the emails about, were for those who had been cast. I never got the open cast DMs to message them directly. I did DM one but have been met with silence, so I had to post the update.

    CCC sends these out automatically to those who follow the project. Only respond to emails I send myself, not through Casting Call Club. These are only updates that they send out. I have had some DM me their information.

    If I need anything, I will DM you directly for this. If I need your email address, I shall ask. Never give your payment information out in a DM here. I will never ask for it here, only once the AI Rider/NDA has been signed if you are cast.

    I'm sorry for any confusion this caused, or raising any hopes.

  • Please submit the required details

    For some reason I never got a project DM when casting to communicate with those cast, but please give me the required details as I may need to send scripts to you and officially add you into the show.

    From those cast in this urgent recasting, I need the following. Please do not add these in a comment. Please give me your email address by DM if you haven't already and we will continue our conversation there.

    • I need your email address

    • I need a credited name for you

    • I need payment details

    For this urgent recasting, the deadline for episode 1 is the 20th May. The longer this is left, they more chance you won't be able to meet the deadline, or delays may occur with payments.

    Please DM or respond to the welcome email I sent asap.

Role assigned to: Brenda McGinnis

Side character - She does have an end. I am just unsure where to fit it in the script right now


(F) late 30s. Must speak fast but clear as though she is plucking thoughts out of the thousands that are spinning around in her head. Must be able to convey madness, paranoia and insanity as this is how she speaks. Make sure words aren't lost. Although her voice is late 30s, a touch of old crone voice, not too much, would be advantageous for her personality. She sounds late 30s in the anthology episode and in the first episode, this diminishes over the course of the miniseries. Must also be able to convey an agonizing cry of pain as her elbows are smashed with sledgehammers in the first scene,


I would prefer audio raw but with some noise reduction if there is background noise or hiss. No other enhancements please. Payments are £20 for every episode she has lines in.

.

Alice is the nutty, insane lady who lives in Serenity. She is harmless but spouts a lot of rubbish about the citizens such as Betsy is a witch who performs witchcraft with children's corpses (She doesn’t, don’t worry) and Kimberly Hamilton sacrifices her horses to Demons (She doesn’t either)


Alice also holds very important insights although this is lost to the madness and is the one who actually picks up on Masons abuse and alerts Jamie about it which springs him into action to put a stop to it. She may be wrong about the citizens however through her craziness the important messages she picks up gets garbled within her own paranoid thoughts. She is half feral and her mind has deteriorated.


She can sense when there is evil nearby (Evil being the Purgatorians).For voiceover work, she is crazy, insanely crazy but not overacted pantomime style. Please see the 2015 clip for the portrayal needed for her.


An example of Alices first scene. This is the type of voice I need but more manic in delivery. Not giggly as everything she says she believes is true through paranoid delusions.

Context


Line 1 - Alice is warning Jamie of Masons abuse. However this is lost in the madness that she speaks in. Her paranoia, her insanity. Nobody knows whether to treat her words as nonsense or truth with the manner of which she speaks them.


Line 2 - Same as line 1 but this time she is warning Jamie that Masons death is close. Once again this can be lost in the madness of how she speaks.


Line 3 - You need to imagine the pain that you would feel if your elbows had a sledgehammer brought down upon them. Convey the pain you think someone would imagine in this case in reality.

  • (The whole line. Crazy, Insanity, Madness, not anger) Evil is around, it is everywhere including our own city. The shouts of anger, screams of a child, it echoes throughout the night. It bounces off the walls and screeches through the air. I don’t trust you, i don’t trust anyone, not even myself but you must stop the evil. The child of whom I speak lives nearby. Cruelly mocked by those he loves, hurt by those he trusts, evil surrounds him. I speak of the one child this village possesses, the one child hurting, in pain. I hear him every night, the shouting gets louder, the screams get clearer. This is no cold, this is no illness. All evil is manmade and evil surrounds that house.

  • (The whole line. Crazy, Insanity, Madness. Not anger) The time in nigh, evil is coming. He is claiming the lives of those who have succumbed to darkness. I shouted my warnings but they fell upon deaf ears no they are paying the price. He is near, they will soon depart this realm and be as one with Purgatory. It is too late to save them, too late to stop the darkness from taking them.

Role assigned to: lucy

Secondary role for now


(F) 30-35. Must be able to convey friendliness for episode 1. The rest need coldness, heartless, sadistic tones. All the lines here are not from episode 1. Think a realistic portrayal of a Disney Villain, but please not too over the top. Try not having a dialect but she doesn't need to sound too posh. She also doesn't want to sound common either. A nice mix in-between.


Payments are £20 for every episode she has lines in. Auditions should be raw with noise reduction applied if needed. No other enhancements please.


At least with the other choices, death, prison or good natured release home you know where you stand however Elena is probably the coldest, worst council member of them all. She wants her victims to seriously suffer, the best way to do that is to send them to Purgatory and this is what she always suggests. She also blackmails and schemes to get her own way, failing that she may kill instead.


 It is not known whether she actually is just sadistic or if she is secretly trying to amass an army as big as she can get, spying and working for the Purgatorians as a mole. She is extremely icy cold and does not show any positive feelings to others unless it is pleasure from seeing other people suffer terribly. If she is angered you can be sure the person who caused this will suffer.


She may be the biggest villain alongside Frederick Chambers once the council disbands. Her role gets bigger in season 2 onwards. She may be in the show until season 4, season 3 at the earliest.


Context


Line 1 - This needs a cold, heartless approach. She is suggesting sending Jamie to the worst place possible in this land. A place that would break him and she would take great pleasure if this was to happen.


Line 2 - Elena is blackmailing Abraham. She knows his secrets and she knows this could destroy his position as the leader of the council. She takes pleasure in this, knowing the hurt this is causing Abraham. It needs a very manipulative, cold hearted approach.


Line 3 - She has just finished blackmailing Abraham from line 2 and she has taken great pleasure doing this. She knows she has the upper hand here and she relishes in it. She is a villain though so the laugh should sound this way. Not friendly as though you have just joked around with your friends.

  • I believe we should crush the boys hopes of ever finding his way home and let himself find his way inside of Purgatory, let him stay there and become one of them. If he is a Purgatorian he will not want to destroy his own kind. Yes it is one more for their army however who knows when they will attack, it may not even be in our lifetime. Let him rot there and we shall be safe. That is my suggestion.

  • Oh don’t beg dear, it is beneath you. Now we are alone I would like to remind you that I know of your little secret. The prophecy only mentions you will be killed, not us. It would be most unwise to anger me or my lips may become loose and words may start to spill from them. Oh I should also let you know I too know the secret behind you and Harper, why you care for him so much, why he has not been allocated a job. This would be most devastating to your position on the council. If you do not do what is required of you I shall have no reason to hold back this information anymore.

  • (Just give me a cold and evil laugh. Please read the context in the bio)
