[UNPAID] [Horror / Dark Comedy] Voice Actors Wanted for an Original Audio Drama
Hey everyone!
I'm looking for voice actors interested in joining an independent horror / dark comedy audio drama currently in development.
The series blends supernatural horror, small-town mystery, gothic atmosphere, and bizarre character-driven comedy. Think unsettling encounters, eccentric locals, creepy secrets, and situations that balance genuinely disturbing moments with absurd humor.
The story follows a family trying to settle into a new community, only to discover that the people around them—and the town itself—might not be quite what they seem.
I'm keeping the project's title, setting, and other identifying details under wraps for now, but I'll provide additional information and audition material privately.
Available Roles
All character names below are codenames for casting purposes.
THE PROTECTOR — A weary father trying to keep his family safe. Natural, grounded delivery with emotional range.
THE OPTIMIST — A hopeful mother determined to make a fresh start work. Warm, expressive, and sincere.
THE CYNIC — A sarcastic sixteen-year-old with sharp wit and little patience for nonsense.
THE LITTLE ORACLE — A perceptive six-year-old whose innocent observations can be surprisingly unsettling.
THE BLACK WIDOW — An elegant, sinister authority figure with a sophisticated voice and subtle menace.
THE WOODSMAN — An intimidating local with a rough voice, strange charm, and threatening undertones.
THE SOCIALITE — A polished, controlling community representative with strong comedic potential.
THE RED TWIN and THE BLUE TWIN — An eccentric pair of siblings who require distinct voices and strong comedic timing.
THE ENIGMA — A mysterious teenage student who always seems to know more than she lets on.
THE SUNSHINE TEACHER — An excessively cheerful kindergarten teacher whose sweetness becomes unsettling.
THE ANATOMIST — A disturbing student fascinated by dissection, with an eccentric and unnerving delivery.
THE GRINNING MENACE — A grotesque, mischievous child with a bizarre sense of humor.
THE HEADMASTER — A stern high school principal with an authoritative voice and room for dry humor.
THE ENFORCER — An imposing gym teacher with a commanding, forceful delivery.
THE ARCHIVIST — A gloomy museum curator with a dry wit and an atmospheric presence.
THE GATEKEEPER — A polished, overbearing community organizer who insists everyone follow the rules.
