ROLES FOR ANY GENDER:

XJ-32​ (adult of any age/any ethnicity/any accent/any gender)

A 200 foot tall robotic automoton. Speaks in a halting stereotypica "robotic" way.

LINE 1: Thank you for meeting me here. My wifi connection is insufficient to run the chat app you required.

LINE 2: I will destroy all humans.

LINE 3: Finding a two-hundred-foot tall sentient robot is certainly a challenge.

AIDEN​ (adult of any age/any ethnicity/any accent/any gender)

A voice actor somewhat exasperated at the type of projects they've been offered.

LINE 1: Is the script done?

LINE 2: You're giving me no context! There should be precise instructions, like a computer program, not all this vague stuff!

ROLES FOR NON-BINARY PEOPLE:

NEW​ (adult of any age/any ethnicity/any accent/non-binary)

This is a role for non-binary voice actors, please only audition if you identify as non-binary. This is also a large role, and will appear in most (if not all) of the wrapper scripts going forward.

New is literally a new being, a fusion of a man and woman that previously existed. They are an entirely new person, but they retain the memories of the two people they were created from. It's a very confusing time, and there's much to discuss.

LINE 1: He is... within me. He’s… I remember being him. But I remember… (confused, parsing out the new world around them) I remember being injured by him. Because I remember being the one he hurt.

LINE 2: That’s a very strange way to look at it. (pause) You don’t understand. I’m not sure you could. Because I’m not sure I do. But… I can think of something that might help. There’s a story I remember…

LINE 3: Try not to sympathize with the villain of the story. I know from experience. The point is that we need to work together, to bring our unique strengths to cultivate a solution.

ROLES FOR WOMEN:

DAWN (AGE: 20s/any ethnicity/any accent/cisgender or transgender.)

20s, a young, hip, open-minded camp counselor fed up with her closed-minded coworker, and who really cares about the kids at the camp

LINE 1: Danee doesn't have to be either! That'd be like asking you to choose between being smart or open-minded; you're just none of those!

LINE 2: (sarcastic) Oh, I'm sorry. I just wondered how you were planning to run the camp... from prison!

LINE 3: This is an important issue. Why wait if we can do something beforehand?

JESSICA (any age/any ethnicity/any accent/cisgender or transgender.)

A voice acting hobbyist who loves it but has been screwed over one too many times.

LINE 1: I’m sorry, is there a problem with your camera? I’m having trouble seeing you clearly.

LINE 2: (surprised) Wow! I-I’m so flattered! This is amazing! When do I get started?

LINE 3: (disappointed) Good luck with your project.

MICAH (any age/any ethnicity/any accent/cisgender or transgender.)

A relatively new voice actor, incredibly enthusastic about this exciting new world, but concerned about who these roles are going to.

LINE 1: Of course! I think this is a great opportunity to advance my career.

LINE 2: I’m a new voice actress, so I think getting experience is the most important!

LINE 3: It’s important that you make sure any role you cast is accurately reflected by the actor or actress who brings life to it.

GINA (any age/any ethnicity/any accent/cisgender or transgender.)

A voice actor with a dark side, really getting into her villainous role.

LINE 1: Well, I just...identify with this armageddon-inducing villain. I think it’s a metaphor for the futility of life that anything can be snuffed out when we least expect it.

LINE 2: (authoritative, cold, sadistic... she's in-character here) HUMANITY IS TOO WEAK AND FOOLISH TO LIVE AND SO IT FALLS TO ME TO END THIS FUTILE EXISTENCE! BOW BEFORE MY GREATNESS AND DESPAIR BEFORE YOUR BRUTAL END!

LINE 3: When someone stares into its cold, lifeless eyes they will know the nihilism that Camus was so eloquently evoking in his novels. Death elevated to art form.

ROLES FOR MEN:

ALEX (AGE: 50s+/any ethnicity/any accent/cisgender.)

A crotchety, set-in-his-ways camp counselor only in it for the paycheck. Cares about the kids only in as much as they affect his job. Always complaining. Bit of a bigot.

LINE 1: See? While we discuss this nonsense, they found the motorboat! Can't we deal with it as they start complaining?

LINE 2: We could use another camp leader out here, Dawn. Not sure if you notice the field full of kids!

LINE 3: Goddamn! How did he get on that horse? Wait... When did we get a horse?

DR. M (AGE: 20s+/any ethnicity/any accent/cisgender or transgender.)

A villainous man with a BIG project he hasn't prepared very well for. Big ideas, little follow through. A cart-before-the-horse kind of guy.

LINE 1: This is a secret lair. Torches are très chic.

LINE 2: (defensive) I’m pretty busy these days. Creating an extinction-level machine takes a lot of effort, plus volunteering at the community soup kitchen and grading papers submitted by mad graduate students. Don’t you have a day job, too?

LINE 3: (really getting into it) Picture yourself standing over the torn, blasted remnants of a city. The Doom-Bringer marches forward, the perfect cadence of its metallic feet sounding a clear death knell for the citizenry. It stops, surveys the screaming, writhing masses of people and speaks with a voice that freezes the blood and promises no mercy.

JARED (AGE: 20s/any ethnicity/any accent/cisgender/cisgender or transgender.)

A bit of a bro, yeah? Loves his bros and these bros and those bros over there, y'know? Bro!

LINE 1: Hey man, what’s up? I’m a voice actor you should aspire to hire.

LINE 2: I have a zest for life! Listen, I know you’re trying to cast this role and stuff with some random voice, but have you thought about someone who can do badass impressions?

LINE 3: 28 followers on Insta, baby. At least 12 are real people.



CORY (AGE: 20s-30s/any ethnicity/any accent/cisgender.)

A pleasant enough camp counselor somewhat in over his head. The kids get the better of him.

LINE 1: Had to make a deal with the kids. Where do we keep the marshmallows? They gave me 10 minutes.

LINE 2: (thinking) Well, being a cisgender, gay man who's both into sports and broadway musicals, and who might fall into a 5 in the Kinsey Scale, I'd say... maybe!
