SEE PAGE TWO POST THREE FOR NEW CHARACTER AUDITIONS!!!


Hello once again, everybody! I’m returning with a monster of a casting call for the next audio drama I’ll be working on: Star Wars: The Other Side, a Noir-ish tale by a young author and friend by the name of Nathan Cranor. I’ll be working on this project one chapter at a time, with a total of three chapters in all. I’ll be posting the casting calls for characters in each chapter once I’m finished the previous episode and am ready to move on to the next, so keep your eyes open.

There is no official deadline for this but try and get me your lines as quickly as possible.If anyone has any questions or comments, please ask away.

CASTING CALL:

Some of the following characters will be recurring throughout the chapters and those that are will be marked with an (R) by the name. If you do choose a recurring character, please make sure you will be available to record more in the future.

Please send all audition recordings to epyon_whitefang@yahoo.com (epyon_whitefang@yahoo.com) with “Casting Call-<Character’s Name>” and please include an MP3 with the character’s corresponding line.

Now then, on to the characters:

Chapter One:

Aria Diabet (R)- CAST
Profile: The main character of the series. Dialogue intensive as she provides a lot of narration and description. “A 20-something human woman. Cynical, hard-edged, but somehow endearing. Requires charisma, an American accent.”
Audition Lines: “(Narration) My name’s Aria Diabet, and I am not a Dark Jedi. I swear. (pause) Sure, I’m not a peace-spouting, sandal-wearing Light Side Jedi Knight. I’m more of a death-dealing, boot-wearing, do-what-I-want Force adept. If my job requires the “Dark Side,” whatever. If it takes the Light… well, I’ll get by. But I’m not a Sith lord.”

Or

“(Narration) Needless to say, this is totally and completely freaking me out. Makes me want to shoot something, just for the comfort.”


Imako Rei (R)- CAST
Profile: “A chipper, naïve-sounding 20-something dead human girl.” Former Jedi who has died under mysterious circumstances.
Audition Lines: “(gives a quiet, flirty laugh) Oh, Aria. What killed me? My friendship with you.”

Or

“(light-heartedly) Died? That was, like, ten minutes ago. Tell me you’re not just now getting that, or my murder will take forever to solve.”



Urôr- CAST
Profile: “A slightly sarcastic teenage human girl.” A Force-Sensitive who runs a fortune telling business. Vain and slightly valley girl-ish.
Audition Lines: “(bubbly) Yo, Aria. I’d ask what brings y’ here, but you know me. (grunts slightly as she stands to her feet) Omniscient seer, and all that… (pauses as she looks at herself in a mirror) Hmmm…You think I’d seem less respectable as a future-seeing prophetess if I wore a lower-cut shirt? (pauses again as she looks Aria over) Oh, look who I’m asking. You’re in your all-black number again. The only skin you show below your chin is your fists.”


Tex Hai-soz- CAST
Profile: “A completely insane mid-30s human man. Accent should either be extremely American or slightly cockney.”
Audition Lines: “(growls angrily for several seconds before slowly breaking out into crazed-sounding laughter) You’re a good kid, Aria Roserain! Y’ know, I was worried you’d make fun of my hair, ‘cause then I’d a had t’ kill you. But I love a sense of humor; my whole family loves to laugh, you know. Well, the survivors after the last reunion, that is… Am I right? Yeah, I really am. Three people died at the harvest dinner this year. But enough about Hai-soz family tradition; let’s drink!”


Server Droid- CAST
Profile: Male or Female role. Polite sounding. Voice will be modulated during production, so speak normally. No accent. Minor Role.
Audition Lines: “(politely) Here’s your Rainwater, ma’am.”



The Gentleman Butcher- CAST
Profile: “A polite, British man who’s probably in his 40s.” Leader of the New Shadow Watch. A mannerly being in very uncivilized surroundings.
Audition Lines: “(calmly) Good evening, young madam. I do hope you have been engaged in an agreeable and beneficial way this evening. I just requested my favorite movement from Alderaan’s last opera; you are quite fortunate you weren’t here to listen to the tripe that was blasting through the speakers before, forgive my bluntness. If anyone is bothering your sensibilities, I’ll gladly slay them.”

Or

“(slightly amused) Well, I suppose killing me and the majority of our guild would make one of our members more inclined to speak freely, but as long as I am here, death awaits those who divulge such affairs to outsiders, no offense intended. They are in complete understanding of that arrangement. And I must warn you, killing me is not an easy prospect, Madame Jedi.”


Lang Rei/ Sym Beccalon- CAST
Profile: “A hardened mercenary in his 30s. Won’t strike you as a friendly guy.” Despite this, he is actually quite emotional when he finds out about his sister.
Audition Lines: “It’s an alias. I’m a non-user mercenary with a Jedi sister. Did you expect me to wear my real name? (sighs) I hadn’t seen Imako in years ‘til she found me… somehow.”

I've sunk to the second page, but anyone care to try out? I could use plenty of men and woman to give a go, and even if you don't make it for this episode, there's always a chance for the next two.

Ahhh, yes, Niko....I did recieve yours! I....just didn't know where you had seen me. I'm working off of a couple different websites. :sweat

R_Zion
04-01-2007, 08:53 PM
Hehe, thanks for checking in, Doug. :-P

Everyone who's been chosen has been chosen thus far (except for Inaius Bane from Ep 3) has there scripts and two industrious VAs who shall go without mention at the moment have already sent me their lines. ;-)

We just need Tex Hai-soz now and I'll be ready to post the Ep 2 and 3 casting call! Though I have some actors in mind for some characters who have already auditioned.

R. Douglas Barbieri as the Gentleman Butcher and Narrator

With This Said, it also means I can now begin casting for the next two episodes....

Alright folks, here are the roles available for Episodes 2 and 3 of Star Wars: The Other Side- A Jedi Detective Story, written by Nathan Cranor and adapted for audio by William Simpson. I’ll replay the ground rules as follows:

There is no official deadline for this but try and get me your lines as quickly as possible. If anyone has any questions or comments, please ask away.

CASTING CALL:

Some of the following characters will be recurring throughout the chapters and those that are will be marked with an (R) by the name. If you do choose a recurring character, please make sure you will be available to record more in the future.

Please send all audition recordings to epyon_whitefang@yahoo.com (epyon_whitefang@yahoo.com) with “Casting Call-<Character’s Name>” and please include an MP3 with the character’s corresponding line. Also try to tell me what website you saw this on so I can tell people that I got their auditions.

Now then, on to the characters:


Chapter Two:

Jal Tsulen- CAST
Profile: “Probably between 45 and his early 50s, Tsulen has the gritty, cold voice you might expect of a former Intelligence agent. I picture him as looking Saudi, but he probably sounds Anglo.” Former New Republic Intelligence Agent turned Corporate suit.
Audition Lines: “(matter-of-factly, trying to set the record straight) She left alive and unharmed, Miss Diabet. I and Aroq Enterprises had nothing to do with her death. (curtly) You would do well to leave now.”

Or

“(slightly frustrated but trying to maintain his cool) I met with Imako Rei to offer her a job. Her talents could have been of value to our firm.”


Zee Baduis
Profile: “A human woman in her 30s, Baduis has the calm, cool demeanor of a film noir femme fatale, with a less important part. Has a faint Imperial (READ: Brittish) accent.”
Audition Lines: “The serial killer targeting Force-users. He killed a Jedi out on Muunilist three and a half weeks back, and another two here on Corellia in the past two weeks. I liked the kid, okay? I didn’t want to see her end up a victim of that monster. (remorsefully) Looks like she did anyway.”


Sonar Woman/ Kyte Revir- CAST
Profile: “A human woman in her late 20s to early 30s. She’s likable. My casting was Elisha Cuthbert, but that was mostly for looks/acting, not voice.” The Sonar Woman has one of the most extensive information rings in the galaxy and can always be known to have a useful bit of information or two.
Audition Lines: “Just be careful. Things have been crazy lately, with the Hutts and this–… oh, who am I kidding? This Sonar Woman stuff bores you to tears. Or, more accurately, to a slightly more annoyed stony expression…”


Detective Marth Mueller (R)
Profile: “A black CorSec officer in his early 30s. He plays the flat sarcasm, but he’s a softie underneath. If that helps.”
Audition Lines: “Helping out private eyes is not CorSec policy, believe it or not. We apparently have cases of our own to solve, without your interference… not to mention all that peace-keeping we’re responsible for. (sarcastic) Protect and serve? No thanks, there’s some freelancers who’d like some autopsy reports accidentally slipped into their computer files. First things first, you know.”

Or

“(slight frustration) Yeah, I know. I’m a kriffin’ saint. Now get out of here before I arrest you.”


Milo Nolav (R)
Profile: “A 20-something human male. Grief-stricken but still with a wide-eyed naivety apparent in his voice.”
Audition Lines: “Yes. Y-… Imako and I were at the academy together. I joined after you’d left, but she spoke of (sarcasm, growing into subdued rage near tears) the great Aria Diabet, who left Yavin for her own way in the galaxy. And then, that’s what she tried to do. She left us because-…”

Or
“(still choking back the tears) She wasn’t interested. She blew me off. I… I should have said something else, done something more.”



Chapter Three:


Burly CorSec Guard
Profile: One-liner. Described as ‘Burly’ so should have a deeper voice.
Audition Lines: “This guy’s read The Sonar Man’s Findings one too many times…”


Devaronian Forensics Tech
Profile: Another bit part. Male. Accents and tone can vary.
Audition Lines: ““For one, the angle is all wrong. She was shot at about a 45 degree angle from below, at extreme close range. She and the killer were standing face to face, very close, when the killer shot her with the weapon at her gut level – probably hip height for our murderer.”


Wes Diabet- CAST
Profile: “A 20-something human male who sounds like Aria’s brother. Would provide wacky comic relief in a larger part; think Alan Tudyk (Wash from Firefly)’s son.”
Audition Lines: “I’m just saying you could have pulled me back into the vehicle before taking it over the water.”



Djerro Lydon- CAST
Profile: “A calm, cool genius in his late 20s who sounds like he’s in total control of the situation. Despite the Lydons’ Imperial connections, I hear them as American.”
Audition Lines: “That speeder gang was right on top of us; there wasn’t time. It’s mostly your fault you were hanging halfway out the door in the middle of a high-speed chase anyway–… Oh, hello, Aria. Anything interesting happen while we were out?”

Just got my lines back for Aria the other day, but still waiting for Uror and Tex Hai-soz.

I'll try and clean up what I have so far and put together that preview I promised you from before. Hopefully I can post it later this evening.

Also, Doug, I may have another role for you, but I'll talk to you more about that when the time comes.
