The Riven Vigilantes: An Original 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 work that you are proud to attach your name to.


2.) Prompt and Professional communication, allowing us to efficiently make progress on the project.


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!

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

  • Casting Update - The Riven Vigilantes

    Hello, Everyone!

    Wow! We had such a great turnout of voice talent, so thank you to everyone for auditioning!

    We are extremely appreciative of your time and we're ecstatic to say that we've cast all four roles. It was definitely a tough decision for all four of the roles, as we heard such great talent! If you were not chosen this time - please don't let that prevent you from auditioning for future roles, as we have 50+ in this story and will have plenty of "side arcs".

    Secondly, this is a long-term project. We hope to find talent that is looking to grow with us to create amazing stories that entertain and inspire listeners!

    Lastly, with over 700 current followers, we're striving to deliver an excellent story opener that exceeds your expectations! Be sure to keep up with us on here and YouTube - @LunarCrestMedia

    Chapter 1 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOwqLi709jI

    We look forward to releasing the next chapter by the end of this month. Then, onto future chapters where we'll once again open up a casting call for characters to bring Riven City to life!

    Thank you all again, as it's always a joy to listen to all of the talent we have here on CCC. Take care and see you all again, soon!
