Voice Actors please read all details thoroughly! We’re looking forward to working with you!
THIS IS A CASTING CALL FOR A EROTIC ROMANCE. IF YOU ARE NOT 18 – BE GONE!
About Us: Tales of the Forgotten Fiction Network is a brand new, indie organization, run by four diverse women. We create original and fandom stories through the female gaze. We’ve had great success with our first show (Legacy A Star Wars Audio Drama) and now we’re creating more stories!
Show Details: Tales After Dark are sexy, erotic romance stories, that explore many fun tropes (think Bridgerton Season 1 or your favorite erotica romance novel). The stories are anthology style. Each self contained Tale is told over the course of 1 – 3 episodes. Some stories will have threads that subtly connect them to other original works in our Tales of the Forgotten universe and further explore the fun worlds that our audience enjoys.
Our Storytelling Style: We tell stories in 1st person, in the narrative style of audiobooks, while having a full VA cast, sfx, and music.
If you’ve listened to our audio drama Legacy, then you’re familiar with how we approach sex scenes. For the new person (hi!), it’s just your sexy voice narrating the scene, with a dope ass music track sitting on top of it. That’s it. We do NOT add slurping sounds or bed squeaking. It’s very much like listening to an audiobook of your favorite erotic novel, except we’ve got voice actors to read the dirty dialogue.
The Story – “Please”: Tasha lives in an universe where monsters are real (think Witcher/Supernatural type monsters). She and her team, Evie, Joseph, and Marie, are freelancers, providing protection to those who live on the outskirts of society. Tasha’s son and husband were killed by one of these creatures. Tasha lives her life caught between the devastating loss of the past and a loving future she’s not sure she’s ready to accept offered by her three amazing partners.
Audition Details: We are currently casting for the lead role of Tasha and supporting cast of her husband Nick and son Sam.
This is for a teaser trailer. We will put out another casting call within a week for additional roles.
Full Teaser Script for your reading pleasure: Teaser Script
Tasha: Protagonist. Bisexual. She’ll end up in a loving, poly relationship. She’s a hard woman. A fighter and a leader who is using sex and alcohol to try and numb the pain of her loss.
We are looking for a female aged 25 and older. There is a grittiness to Tasha. During the day she’s out in the world killing the monsters that killed her family. At night, in the silence, she’s a broken woman.
Nick: Tasha’s husband. Nick only has a few panicked lines of dialogue needed for a flashback scene.
Sam: Tasha’s son. Teenager. Poor kid screams a lot.
