StripedStockings · 02:40 AM

Intro:
Hello, I'm stripedstockings and I've /never/ produced a radioplay before. And, well, I want to try my hand at it. I'm super excited. And, well, yeah. I hope you guys audition!

What's better? Backwards or Fowards?
This radioplay is a one-act that follows one girls adventure to discovering herself. It's based on a writing of mine and I'm very proud of it. I can't say more about the plot because it /is/ a short story and I don't want to "spoil" anything.

Auditioning Information
-Wav? Mp3? Both are fine.
-Record each of your auditioning lines in seperate files labled as: VAname_Charactername_Line#
-Ask for a critique and i'll gladly give one!
-email to: samy.hentschke@yahoo.com
-Feel free to ask questions about the characters or anything really you're curious about. I'm super-nice. Really!
-But, even though I'm super nice, the deadline for this will be January 20th 2008.
-I hold the right to extend auditions if I don't find who I want for the part.

Characters and Auditioning Lines:

Males

Narrator
Voice type? Low-medium [must have the ability to read longer walls of text fluently.]
Brief Personality? This person tells the story as if looking in. Almost sadly. He's a very mournful person, really.
Lines?
1] "The swing sat plainly in the middle of an abandoned playground in the ‘bad part of town’ that all ‘respectable folks’ would never dare to go near. The playground itself wasn’t dangerous yet; something about the nostalgic chipped paint and the sheer emptiness of the place seemed to ward people off. It’s amazing how the simplest of things scare people; no one wants to be alone. Therefore no one went to the playground and no one thought of the swing that only moved when the wind guided it gently forward."

The Swing

Voice Type? Medium, like a teenager. [possibly, a little raspy.]

Brief Personality? A person who brings...answers? He is the one who provides the main character with a call to action.

Lines?

1] "You still can. Swing. And you can still save him."

2] "Forget about the past."

The Wind

Voice type? High, very childish. Mostly likely can be played by a female who can do boy voices.

Brief Personality? Shy, in love.

Lines?

1] "I love you."

2] "I gave it up. You now have the strength to find him."

The Moon

Voice type? Very low to medium. Older male [25-ish?]

Brief Personality? Very dissappointed. Ashamed at the world.

Lines?

1] "That's unbecoming of you. Can a man /truly/ distract you from this pain?"
2] "Do you think he'd like to see what you've become?"

Females

The Goddess

Voice type? Low, older female.

Brief Personality? Has lost hope in the world and only lives in hopes of saving the one she loves.

Lines?

1] "Who's....there? How could you know?"

2] **note: say this line with complete madness. "I killed it! I can save nothing! I'm a murderer!"

And that's all. I hope you guys audition!
