The Riven Vigilantes: An Audio Drama

The Riven Vigilantes: An Audio Drama

Project Overview

Project Summary

Hello and thank you for your interest in our project! My name is Andrew Loyd and I am the founder of Lunar Crest Media. I formed Lunar Crest with the intent to present stories that entertain and inspire people of all ages. Our first project, The Riven Vigilantes, is in the form of an audio drama. Here is a little background on that...

Story Summary

Reece is angry, and now alone. Having recently graduated high school, his uncle has been murdered in the slums and the police are doing nothing about it. Realizing that the cops are more focused on protecting those who line their pockets in North Riven; those suffering in the lower half are on their own. Gangs run rampant in the Southern part of Riven, constantly vying for control over sections of this neglected part of the city. Focusing his pain from the constant loss of loved ones; Reece decides to take matters into his own hands.

This audio drama contains: violence, drug abuse, implied domestic abuse, implied sexual assault, implied pedophilia, and explicit language. All of this is done in a way to fit the YA genre to address real-world problems. Please DO NOT submit an audition if you are not comfortable with what has been previously stated. 

What We Expect from You

1.) High-Quality Audio (no background noise and "clean" voice takes), submitted in .wav format.

2.) Feel free to submit up to three takes for each line. However, also feel free to contact us to collaborate on how to get the most out of your performance for your character. 

3.) File transfers will be handled through WeTransfer, to start.

4.) We may ask for line retakes if the audio quality isn't up-to-par or if we are looking for a different tone/take on the line than what you provided. Again, please feel free to reach out to us as much as you want while recording your lines, to ensure your first take is the only one we'll need!

What to Expect from Us

1.) We're looking to cast solid talent for the long-term, so we're all about finding actors that want to be a part of something special. We need talent that can take constructive criticism to best fit what we're looking to accomplish with this project. On the flip side, we will always treat everyone with respect and empathy.

2.) Payment - Installment Plan - We will make payments through Paypal, Zelle or Venmo. You can expect 25% of the role's payment up-front, upon accepting your role. Once you have submitted your audio files in the appropriate format, we will then transfer over another 50%. After we review your audio files to make sure it's what we need (this will take no longer than (10) business days), we will transfer the remaining 25%. PLEASE NOTE - If we need you to perform any line retakes, we will withhold the final 25% until those line retakes have been submitted and approved by us. 

3.) Passion, Perseverance, and Professionalism - The Riven Vigilantes started out as a thought thought that struck me on one rainy day. Pouring out my thoughts onto paper - I wrote out a chapter and then built a story around that chapter. This was definitely a passion project of mine that I wrote in the format of a book; now looking to create an epic audio drama that will launch into something much greater. I realize I cannot do this alone, which is why I formed Lunar Crest Media. I'm searching for individuals with unique skillsets that want to be a part of something special, as I have huge plans for Lunar Crest reaching beyond audio dramas. Think you have what it takes?

Seeking more than just voice talent! We're also looking for artists to sketch/draw potential artwork (concept art, posters, cover art, etc) for The Riven Vigilantes and more! Please feel free to reach out to me at: via Discord ALoyd#2255 with some sample artwork to be taken into consideration for future artwork needs. Thank you!

P.S. - We're currently working on building our social media accounts and websites, www.lunarcrestmedia.com & www.rivenvigilantes.com - be sure to check back every so often for updates! 

Thank you all for reading and looking forward to hearing from you!

  • Chapter 1 Now Live!

    Hello, Everyone!

    Giving everyone following The Riven Vigilantes an update on the project.

    Chapter 1 has been made live!

    Check it out, here --> https://youtu.be/dOwqLi709jI 

    Also be sure to check out our Instagram --> @RivenVigilantes

    A little look into the plan - Chapter 1 is our "stepping stone", which we will build off of to produce even better chapters with each release. As I've mentioned before, this is definitely a long term project. So, we're definitely looking for VA's that are in it for the long-term!

    The Riven Vigilantes is also just one of our projects. We are currently expanding the team to begin bringing to life two of our other stories. So, there will be opportunities for other VA roles in the future as well! 

    Thank you all for following and supporting the project, as we look forward to sharing what's to come with you all!

    Sincerely,

    Andrew Loyd

    We are extremely appreciative of your time and are aiming to cast all 4 roles by January 3rd. Few Notes:

    • We are going to cast multiple news anchors, with one person being cast as Kylie Sharp.

    • As previously stated, this is a long-term project, with talent possibly being needed for Instagram reels and the like as well. We're just now getting our socials up-and-running, with the most active being Instagram @RivenVigilantes

    We have around 30-40 roles that we'll need to find talent for and will definitely be referring back to the auditions here first. So, if you don't happen to get cast for one of these 4 roles, please know that we're still keeping an eye on you!
