Hi Melbourne friends! We’re making a podcast!
It’s called “Love and Luck”, and the script for the first year is already written! It’s a queer love story with some magic thrown in, told via voicemails. Two guys get together, fall in love, open a queer bar, and use their magic to protect and support their community. It’s approximately M rated – there’s quite a few swears and mentions of homophobic violence, but no one dies, there’s a happy ending, and there is no sexual assault in the story at all (and there never will be).
We need some voice actors!
The two main protagonists in the show, the ones with the bulk of the dialogue, have already been cast. However we still need some actors for some bit parts!
You don’t need voice acting experience to audition for this! We’re amateurs making a thing for fun, so honestly it’s probably best if you’re an amateur looking to voice act for fun, too. Particularly since this is a passion project and we can’t afford to pay you 😦 You will however still need to sign a release form for us on recording day.
We should only need a couple of hours total of your time for this. We’re not looking to dump a lot of work on you, especially since we can’t pay you – all of these parts can be recorded in a single session, and optimistically, most of them should be easily done in less than an hour. You’ll also need to be able to rehearse with us a little bit, sometime before the recording session – most likely over skype or a similar program, although in person can be arranged too if preferred.
We will be recording the dialogue for the show at the Kathleen Syme Library and Community Centre, at 251 Faraday St, Carlton VIC 3053, Australia. You will need to be able to travel there for the recording session(s), the dates of which are not yet booked – recording sessions will take place most likely on Sundays, sometime in April or May 2017, with the option for pickups to fix stuff if needed in June. The building and studio is fully accessible.
To audition for a part (or multiple parts – which you are welcome to do!) record your audition and send it as a .mp3, .wav or .ogg file to loveandluckpodcast@gmail.com with the subject line “audition”. Let us know which part(s) you’re auditioning for, and feel free to tell us a little about yourself in your email if you like! Don’t worry if you don’t have a good microphone – we’ll be listening to your voice, not the quality of your mic. Record it on your phone if you like, it’s all fine, really!
Auditions close March 26, 2017, so you will hear back sometime soon after that.
Please note that the audition lines are NOT the actual dialogue from the real script. We’re keeping those under wraps for now so as to not spoil big plot points. Rest assured, if you’re chosen, you will get to read the real dialogue before you commit.
Read on for the characters and their audition lines!
I forgot to post this to tumblr, whoops!
Anyway, the podcast you’ve been hearing me screaming about for the past few months is now at the point where we’re casting bit parts! I am very nervous about it!! But excited! But nervous!!!
Please share with your cool Melbourne friends, and maybe follow the tumblr or facebook or we’re on twitter too if you think you’d enjoy a happy lil podcast about queer love.
Casting Call!!
