The Purgatorians | Original and Ambitious 5 season audio drama
Nic Olsen for Jamie Atkinson
Current Plot line - Trying to save Mason
Main Character - In it until the final episode
Jamie is in it for a very long time so please consider whether you are able to commit to the role before you audition. This does not mean you cannot take on other work, I just do not want this character to go through multiple voice changes throughout the show. He has the most lines
Jamie is just an ordinary boy who wants to return home. he is extremely polite and has no isms, sexism, racism homophobia etc. He treats everyone fairly except his enemies. He is forgiving and is not easily manipulated however he is not too good with authority and does not know how to stand up to them. He runs though every emotion you can think of throughout the show so your range should extend to this.
Must be very clear to hear, no accent or very close to it, not aristocratic though.
Jamie does not have his own example video however he does take part in everyone else's
https://youtu.be/mJ9hBshZ3eA The best example video with the most lines of his. His role ends in this video when he says he is starving.

You know, if this was a game they would be known as famous last words. I would then go out and be slaughtered by a zombie or something. Sorry, I like games. Thanks for the information and I’m sorry about your breasts... (embarrassed) I mean i... I... Sorry. I will be on my way.
(Worried)Oh boy, that doesn’t sound good. (Shouts) I AM COMING MASON, HOLD ON. A leopard? What the hell am I supposed to do now? I can’t just leave him there, he is about to slip, he will be killed if he falls from the tree. This branch isn’t much but it looks sharp enough, quite sturdy too. Now to get its attention, these rocks should do. (Panicked)Oh crap, crap, crap. I’m dead, just hold it out Jamie and... Lunge. (Relieved)Not the smatest creatures, it ran straight into it, hurting itself. Well it has gone for now. I’m coming Mason. Drop yourself down, I’ll catch you
(Tense scene) (Fear, Anger, Worry) IVAR, HE HAS KILLED HARRY. GET THE GLASS SMASHED OUT OF THE WINDOW AND GET IN HERE. TOBIAS. IT DOESN’T HAVE TO BE THIS WAY. RELEASE HER, LEAVE AND THERE WILL BE NO REPERCUSSIONS AS LONG AS YOU NEVER COME BACK.
When you speak low, project your voice so you are not drowned out by the background music. The 2015 Jamie had this problem as well.
More embarrassment and stumbling for words after you say breasts. It sounded good in his head, not so good once it left his mouth.
A bit more fear when the leopard is charging towards you. 'Oh, crap, crap...'
The final line at the beginning did not sound dramatic enough. Ivar is on the other side of the window, he needs shouting to in a very urgent tone of voice. Tobias is holding a knife to Faiths throat and is threatening to cut it and kill her.
Thank you for the feedback. Are you asking me to record it again with these adjustments?
Only if you're still interested in the role. Sorry but I made a mistake in 2015 in taking on someone to build them up into the character but it never got any better.
I don't like taking that risk anymore which is why I tend to put as much feedback here as possible, to try to help people try to reach their full potential for the character.
I did two more takes with the notes you gave. How would you like me to send you the audition?
