View Full Version : Casting Call: 'Kids'

Eaglet Productions, the team (ahem, that would be ME) behind the upcoming Real Life Audio Drama 'Superhero,' is first putting together a 10 minute Star Wars Audio Drama, as part of Nathan Butler's 'Anthology' series. As of yet it does not fit into the 'Established Butlerniverse,' as in incorporating characters or situations that have been in Anthology projects before, however, it may before all is said and done. I will be the vaunted 'third mixer' of the Anthology series, joining such greats as Nathan Butler (Second Strike, ChronoRadio) and Steve Fluharty (No Way Out).

At present, the following parts are needed:

1. Imperial Officer: This 'police officer' is the typical gruff, English, male, middle-aged guy you'd expect to be working in the underground of Coruscant. He's not elite, but he's not bad, either. His is the largest role, being both the narrator and handing a lot of lines in the actual story part.

2. Terence D'Fuul: 16ish, male, maybe African-American, but it's not nessesacy. He has a bit of solidity that is powerful in a kid as young as him. He has probably the third largest role.

3. Friend #1 (as yet un-named): About the same as Terense, but a little bit more 'leadery' than 'solid.' Probably a little older. Has the second largest role, and a few long speeches that need good acting to pull off.

4. Friend #2: Same as Friend #1, but less leadery, and only has like two lines.

5. Shawna: A girl, around 16, accent not specified. Has only a couple lines, but they are very important. Not a throw-away role.

6. Fellow Cop: Basically same as our 'Imperial Cop.' But MANY fewer lines. Must be British.

To audition, provide files (or preferably LINKS to files hosted elsewhere) to Gregory@layertheband.com

Use the following lines, por favor:

IMPERIAL OFFICER: You're a barely mature brat you just got caught with a carton full of deathsticks. The Jedi are gone--and good riddance. Now come with me.

TARENSE: I don't think you understand, 'Officer.' I am a Jedi.

FRIEND #1: The streets are our's, you governmental scum. Keep your highrises and skyscrapers and keep control of everything that happens up there, but these streets are our's.

SHAWNA: You patronizing nerfherder! How dare you talk to me that way?!

You guys will dig the script for this one. I've read it and liked it a lot. He's right in that it has no crossovers, but they can't ALL cross over, right? But the story can be considered part of the same universe as the other 6 Anthology tales and Second Strike.

Thanks for the ringing endorsement, Nathan!

I'm now going to copy over from my recent post at TF.N LLC, because I'm too lazy to type something original:

<self-plagiarism>
I'll be leaving auditions open for at least a week, but be sure to record as soon as you can, before I fall in love with someone else's audition. Oh, and if you want to record, but cannot at the moment (Rich?), let me know, and I'll wait for you before closing down auditions.

I do want this show to go as quick and painlessly as possible, as one of the reasons for doing it before Superhero is so that I can gain experience doing AD on a smaller scale, rather than doing a 50 minute show straight off.

Hopefully this experience will be SO good that it will inspire a Butler-esque (oh how I love creating new, JC-inspired words!) creative explosion...but we'll see.

Alrighty, I've got all the parts cast, except I still need the girl.

Does anyone know any women who can do american accents?

You tried Amy? She's slow at times (heh) but she's got a great voice. Possibly too recognizable, though.

Drop her a PM (pyanfar).

Ooh, yeah, Heather has a young sounding voice, she'd work well for Shawna. Good call, Heather.

Sorry about being so late with this post; I've been busy at other boards, and I always forget to check this one.

The casting call will be over as soon as Amy sends in her audition file, which should be sometime soon. I can't check to see if she sent it in yet, as my e-mail she sent it to is at home, but as soon as that happens, I'll finalize the cast list, and then work on sending out info. I hope to get a lot done over Spring Break.

Looks like casting is done. I'll put up a note about it this weekend.

Lockin' up the call.
