Ep 1 Casting / Welcome to the Brass Eagle (PODCAST)
Tim Winters for Patron #2
MINOR ROLE
This person is one of several that Amara encounters in her travels with the band. They provide an anecdote about a time their cousin saw something out in the countryside that resembled a building--albeit one where no building should be.
This role is open to any actor, regardless of identity or background.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Each episode will be rehearsed during a live remote table read with the other actors, director, and producer in order to provide notes and feedback. A secondary recording session will then be scheduled so the actors can interact and record their final takes. If necessary, pickups will be requested outside of the scheduled calls.
The goal will be to have as many actors as possible present for the reads to make the acting feel natural and believable, but scheduling will be flexible to accommodate each actor's availability.
So, my cousin—he’s a rancher out in the badlands to the south. Harsh, dry area. Nothing around except the farms. But one night, right around midnight, he swears he hears what he thinks is some kind of bird screeching, and a gong, or thunder, or something. Spooked him and his cattle pretty bad.
Yeah. He said he saw some kind of big dark shape on a canyon ledge a few miles away. Thought it might have been some kind of…hut or something. But it was in a place no building could reasonably be–narrow rock shelf, hundreds of feet up a sheer canyon wall.
He came back the following night with his horse and his flintlock. Said he got about a mile out from the place, and sure enough it was still there. Suddenly, he hears the same god-awful noise and is nearly thrown off his horse. When he calmed her down, he looked, and…damn thing was gone.
Thanks so much for auditioning! Just sent you an email.
