Greetings.

Today I am here to announce an audio series I'm working on. To begin with, I'll tell you a little bit about the background of the story and then go into the audition materials. I highly recommend reading this fully to get a better understanding of the time frame and social environment this series takes place in. If you're a Halo fan, you may feel right at home. If not, please, I encourage you to check out the links in the description below regarding some of the canon material to help you understand the universe the story takes place in a little bit better.





The year is 2523. For the past few decades, a intergalactic insurgency has been built up and unleashed within humanity and their colonies. At the core, the United Earth Government is cracking down on colonies who either support or do not openly defy the rebellion taking place. On the other side of the coin, many colonists, of many different backgrounds and ethnicity, are tired of being ruled over, in their minds, as slaves. Many of them have begun to fight back through civil disobedience and or more military-like actions against the UEG and her people. Some of these rebels are people with legitimate criticisms who just want to be taken seriously and treated equally, while others want to take advantage of the situation to further the cause, and stop the UEG from retaining their populated colonies.







At the route of these two factions and goals are ordinary people: Farmers, merchants, businessmen. And in our case, cargo traders. Both sides require supply lines to fuel their causes, and or their existing control. Many of these cargo traders find themselves in the middle, taking up jobs for either side, although they likely won't admit it to the government for obvious reasons.







This is where we meet our crew: Captain Faux, pilot and captain of the 'Celestial Beauty', a cargo ship for shipments to be taken from buyer to seller, and or vice versa. Aboard this vessel, Anthony Kelp, Captain Faux's 'right hand man' and close friend helps keep things running. There is also Leonard Copplin, a would-be rebel who turned to a more profitable, and healthy, lifestyle, who is the maintenance and 'grunt' of the crew, taking care of moving and accounting for the shipments aboard the ship. Lastly, we have the newcomer, and semi-apprentice to Captain Faux, Thomas Darren, a young man who dreams of a better life and is training under the captain to learn to pilot his own ship one day.







Together, this crew will face many challenges, from mundane Mondays, to more serious conflicts that engulf the galaxy at large. This will be an ongoing project, and all actors who audition, but don't receive a part, are welcome to keep up with the updates page here, as there will likely be more to come, with more roles to fill. That being said, if you get the part, you HAVE to commit to it. Please don't take a role for your resume and then move down the line. This is a passion project for me, and if you're involved, it should be for you as well. We can work around schedules, but please just follow the following three 'rules of engagement':







1. Please have a clear sounding microphone. I get it, they can be expensive. And I have Audition and will do what I can, but try to limit the background noise as much as possible. ALSO, try to speak as clearly as possible. Don't pop too hard, don't talk to soft, and no deep throating the microphone. It probably isn't good for it anyways.





2. Try to be active. I truly encourage ANY of you, regardless of your role or lack there of, to email me if you have any questions, comments, or concerns. If you are going to be out of town and need a bit longer to record your lines, LET ME KNOW. If you are getting a new microphone because I made you feel bad and it will take a week to get and mess with the settings, LET ME KNOW. If you're dog just died and you need to take a few days, first off I'm sorry to hear that, but let me know. If I don't hear from you after a few days, I'm going to assume that you're gone and need to be recasted. I don't want to do that, but if I have to, I will. That being said, my email is here: [redacted]





3. Just try to have fun with the characters. I know I may ask a lot from you. I know that some of these characters may seem pretty one-off or bland, but they're scripted the way that they are for a reason. That being said, if you mess up in a demo and want to leave it in for a laugh, by all means, humor us. Redo the line, of course. But don't be afraid to be yourself. This is all out of passion, of course. And if you have any questions or ideas for the character, you guessed it, tell your hamster.... But then LET ME KNOW. :)
