The Purgatorians | Original and Ambitious 5 season audio drama
Callumo21 for Extras
I am now asking all extras to audition so I can hear their sound quality but also to join the official Discord where you shall be added to the extras section.
The extras can be any age from sixteen to ninety. What I would like to do when extras are needed is to send you a part of the script that needs the extras and you devise some chatter before the start, during and/or after the piece. It could be wondering why the people were called to the square or panic because the emergency bells are ringing. Possibly all the extras could use Discord and record their lines that way to make a conversation feel natural.
Extras are paid upon the conversations I can use, not the voice lines of one extra themselves. Once you send me the lines, I will listen through it and if I think it is useful for the scenes I shall use it. I may ask you to rerecord some parts with more guidance or, if I can't currently use it in a current scene, it could be used in a future scene.
Please let me know whether you would like to be an ongoing extra or just a one off to avoid messaging you needlessly and irritating you.

(concerned) What’s happening? Is he alright?
(concerned, unsure) I don’t know? Should we do something?
(Panicking)He is turning to sand. Everyone get out now.(There are screams and shouts of fear from the citizens panicking, having no idea of what is happening)
Your words need to be clearer. Some of them molded together.
The second take was a little better but the final line, once again, had some words molded into one.
Thanks for the feedback I greatly appreciate it. I can redo the voice acting audition if it is alright with you?
i always welcome resubmissions. Especially if they follow feedback.
Try and add some realism to the voices though. Extras as just as important as the other cast when it comes to making the show sound as professional as possible. More fear in the last line. you have just watched someone turn into sand and crumble before your eyes. Do not go over the top though, try to make it sound realistic.
What do you mean try and add some realism to the voices? Can you please give an example that would be great thanks.
I mean make them sound like real people in real situations.
Line 1 - concern
Line 2 - Worry
Line 3 -Fear
As i said take 2 was better than the first. A bit more convincing. The extras will have to have short but realistic sounding conversations as they walk by and in some of the more dramatic scripted moments.
thanks mate I will it redo my lines exactly you want to sound like. Also I did saw a post on your health update I know I haven't got a role from you yet but I just want to make sure you're doing okay and making sure you are not having a bad day. Just remember think positive thoughts and do what you love doing mate.
Thank you for your kind words. I was saying on Discord that I was not allowed to get stressed but the very next day I got extremely stressed because for some reason the scripts got messed up up when sending them to cast members. Some scenes merged into other scripts some reason. I was stressing so hard that day lol.
Hey mate, I have seen your post about extra roles that you said “if you want to be an extra and you have discord please join the official server”. Do you want me to keep audition or do you want me to join the discord sever because I’m unsure what you mean by that.
I am asking all those interested in being an extra to join the official server because I didn't want to spam the roles section with lots of extras listings. I am asking people to still audition here so I can hear the audio quality but I may not have time to go through every extra to give the Discord link. I should have put this in to begin with tbh.
If I hear any problems with the audio quality, I shall let people know and hopefully they can fix it eventually. Since being an extra does not require a strict deadline as the other cast member, their part can be delayed until all problems are eradicated.
All extras will get the first opportunity to upgrade their role with early auditions in Discord. These don't apply to newcomers to the land but to limit repetitiveness having to explain why they arrived there, people already living there (extras) may become main, secondary or side parts eventually.
Being on Discord also allows extras to work together to create believable short conversations as they pass by the characters.
I'm happy to audition and I'm happy to join in your discord for extra if you want me to?
That would be great. You have already auditioned so I don't need another. Lots of extras will be needed so I am opening this to anyone to join if they want a role in the show.
Obviously I couldn't pay 100 people if that many came but I will choose the most appropriate lines for the scenes that are submitted there for the paid lines.
