KIND: An LGBTQ+ Mythical Noir Audio Drama
Xaylon Ecter for Kyle Dilstern
MINOR ROLE
Kyle Dilstern (he/him) is a college jock in his early twenties who is in a somewhat one-sided relationship with Olivia Ciesla. While he dreams of a wedding, Olivia is still uncertain of how serious she is about Kyle. Despite his himbo, jockish nature, Kyle is surprisingly emotionally intelligent and often regurgitates (good) advice from his psychologist.
His elder sister was the heir to the Dilstern Beverage Company until she was murdered by Kind. Kyle's life was very privilege and sheltered up until that point. After his sister's death, he developed depression and bad coping mechanisms, which led to him going to therapy and gaining a more holistic approach to life.
AUDITION REQUIREMENTS
We are looking for an appropriately aged voice (late teens to mid 20s) for Kyle. He's a comic-relief character and very exaggerated. However, he does have moments of enlightenment and offers very sage advice to anyone who will listen. His voice should be typical meathead jock - friendly, loud, and swaggering.
When he does talk about his sister or his family situation, his voice and cadence becomes serious and more natural.
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.
- english
- male young adult
- all american accents
[Panicked. Olivia locks him outside when he tries to climb through her window. Comedic] BABE? BABE?? I TAKE IT BACK! I NEED HELP! BABE!!!!
[Laughs dumbly. Genuinely touched] Thanks, babe. That’s like, the nicest thing you’ve ever said to me. No wait. You told me last week that I was 'a rare intelligence'!
[Serious. Grim. Angry] Mom’s been drinking non-stop and dad’s just…well, he’s always at work. Doing what he does best. Being a corpo-loser.
Thank you for your audition! Do you have a discord?
