Casting Call for Retro Radio Program

OPEN CASTING CALL

CASTING CALL FOR RETRO RADIO PROGRAM
Variety of roles to be filled

MISC_Casting callCINCINNATI—Local filmmaker Josh Flowers announced an open casting call for voice talent for a retro-style radio program to be held April 12 at the Cincinnati Public Library downtown.

Applicants are sought for the following roles:

  • Narrator: male, traditional announcer with deep, manly voice
  • Hero: male, classic mid-century radio superhero, lunkhead
  • Android: male, self-aware robot servant that is more human than our hero
  • Robot 1 & Robot 2: gender-neutral, robots

Voice actors may be hired for more than one role. The initial project will not be compensated and involves recording one episode of the series. If successful, there may be opportunities to perform roles on stage with compensation.

For more information or to schedule a time, please email Becky Haltermon at beckyhaltermon@gmail.com.

Casting Call Information

  • When: Saturday, April 12, 9 – 11 a.m.
    Please email Becky Haltermon at beckyhaltermon@gmail.com to schedule a specific appointment time.
  • Where: Meeting Room 3B, Cincinnati Public Library Main Branch, 800 Vine Street, Cincinnati, Ohio, 45202
  • WHO: Talented voice actors at least 18 years old. While the roles call for a retro, 1950s-era delivery, the script is humorous and would benefit from a reading that straddles the line between classic and modern.
  • PREPARATION: Voice actors will be provided with a short reading at the audition. It may be helpful to become familiar with 1940s and 1950s radio science fiction programs such as Dimension X, X Minus One, Suspense and Journey into Space.
