[Unpaid] Fantasy Audio Drama – Looking for 5 Voice Actors | Tales From The Skald: "A Fool's Errand"
UPDATE: Casting is now closed for this round.
Thank you so much to everyone who reached out or sent in auditions. I’ve received enough interest for the roles and want to take some time to properly listen through everything and make decisions fairly.
I really appreciate everyone’s time and enthusiasm. I’ll be reaching out directly to the people I’d like to move forward with once I’ve reviewed the auditions.
Hello everyone!
I'm casting the remaining roles for the first episode of an original fantasy anthology audio drama called Tales From The Skald.
The episode follows a group of adventurers who enter a mysterious forest known as The Hollow to hunt a creature called the Stagwraith. The story gradually shifts from a tavern adventure into psychological horror.
The narrator (The Skald) and the lead adventurer (Ruben) have already been cast, and I'm looking for actors to fill the remaining speaking roles.
**Available Roles**
**Peter** (Male, 35-45) A weathered fisherman with dry humor and years of experience. He knows enough about the Hollow to fear it.
**Colin** (Male, 30-40) Peter's longtime friend. Frustrated with his circumstances and tempted by the bounty on the Stagwraith despite knowing better.
**Phoebe** (Female, 20-40) A cautious adventurer whose instincts are usually correct. Intelligent, grounded, and increasingly terrified as events unfold.
**Alden** (Male, 20-40) A cocky archer who treats the expedition like an easy payday. His confidence slowly gives way to uncertainty.
**Barkeep** (Male or Female, 30+) Quiet and reserved. Has seen many adventurers head toward the Hollow and knows exactly how those stories usually end.
**About the Project**
Genre: Fantasy / Dark Fantasy / Folk Horror
Format: Audio Drama
Length: Approximately 20–25 minutes
This is the first entry in an anthology series set in a larger fantasy world.
Although this is an unpaid passion project, I'm committed to making it as polished as possible. All actors will receive full credit, and I'd love to continue working with anyone interested in future episodes.
If you'd like to audition, leave a comment or send me a DM and I'll send over your character's script excerpt.
Thanks for reading!
