SUPPORTING ROLE

Bakula Ciesla (he/him) is the incumbent Governor of Elysium in his mid-fifties. He has a very wholesome and positive reputation amongst the citizens of Silver City, where he resides with his wife, Ema, and his daughter, Olivia. Beneath the charming facade, however, Bakula runs the dark underbelly of Silver City, collecting corrupt government officials and wealthy businessmen in his goal for something far larger (and far more insidious) than a state-election. 


AUDITION REQUIREMENTS

We are looking for an appropriately aged voice (40s to 50s) for Bakula. Bakula's voice is commanding, confident, and charming. Think Don Draper from Mad Men. He's a dangerous, powerful man, who is able to casually laugh about horrendous crimes, while also presenting himself to the public as a progressive, altruistic man who cares deeply about his family.


The actor for Bakula must be comfortable portraying a morally-bankrupt character, who sometimes says racist and sexist remarks. 


We'd like to see natural and convincing acting rather than exaggerated or cartoonish - so please keep this in mind while auditioning.


We like to collaborate with our actors to bring characters to life - so bring your own interpretation to the role! Including more than one type of voice is encouraged. Any format (ABC, AABBCC, ABCABC etc) is accepted.


TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS

Actors must have no background noise and a quality microphone (prosumer preferred - but any good quality microphone is fine!) when recording. Please limit editing your audition to only cuts and minimising noise.

Language:
  • english
Voice description:
  • male adult
  • all american accents
  • polish
  • [Casual. Laughing] Scientists, man. She hasn’t left the lab in days. Says she’s on the verge of a breakthrough. It’s best to let her do her thing. Meanwhile, I got a catalogue of the finest girls in Silver City. Japanese imports. Had to grease a lot of hands for these ones.

  • [Insidious and commanding] Keep your eye on Kind. And this time - find out about that husband of his. Reveal your presence, if you have to. I want him spooked.

  • [Determined. Confident. Delivering a speech] As Governor of the great state of Elysium, I promise that I will put the beaten and the down-trodden first. Those of us clutching at the bottom rung of the ladder will see sunlight under my leadership. I won't stop until each and every citizen of Silver City and Elysium-wide, sees the recompense and rights that you deserve!
