Radiosonic Workshop is currently producing a series of fanmade audios based on the BBC Webcast, Scream of the Shalka (which was written by Paul Cornell, and starred Richard E. Grant, as the Doctor, Derek Jacobi as the Master, and Sophie Okonedo as the companion, Alison). Our series will run to 7 episodes with a contained arc. PLEASE NOTE: WE ARE NOT AFFILIATED WITH 'DOCTOR WHO', THE BBC, OR ANY OTHER LICENSED COMPANY.

You can find out more about us and the series in our podcasts, which are available to download in iTunes - or you can find the first at (website available upon application)

***

We are currently casting for our first episode, which is set in Ancient Egypt. We have short dialogue sections for each of the characters we're looking for taken from the first draft of the script (all lines are consequently subject to changes) for actors to audition with.

We’d like actors to record these sections in the environment they would record the actual episodes, and with the equipment they would use. Then upload the finished files either to a streaming site like soundcloud or an upload site such as mediafire. Please include a link to your uploaded files in your application or otherwise indicate that you are planning to record a sample to send us soon.

Time commitment wise you're looking at one readthrough with all the cast of about 3 hours, and about 3 hours per main part recording, going down to much less for smaller parts. In an ideal situation readthroughs and recordings will happen via Skype. If we want to call you back (it's possible we will just offer parts based on these initial readings) that would also take place via Skype.

Thank you,

The Radiosonic Production Team

Eki (10-year-old Egyptian princess)

Audition lines:

1. My name’s technically Meketaten, but my sister says that’s a bit pretentious for someone too small to see over the top of the high table. Which is a lie, by the way, because I can. [pause] If I stand on my toes. Which obviously counts.

2. (a bit scared) Why can’t you leave, what’s wrong?

Females, aged 10 to 25 from United Kingdom

Minimum Acting experience: No previous acting experience
Accents spoken: UK English

Priests

Audition lines:

1. (chanting) How manifold it is, what thou hast made! They are hidden from the face. Thou didst create the world according to thy desire, Whilst thou wert alone--

2. I am a man of god--you may speak to me as you would to Anubis, weighing your heart against the feather of truth.

Males, aged 18 to 99 from United Kingdom

Minimum Acting experience: No previous acting experience
Accents spoken: UK English

Kiya (Pharoah’s second wife. Coquettish/sly)

Audition lines:

1. (coyly) At last we are alone.

2. Meri, be not so guarded. I am merely concerned. What happens to Pharaoh affects us all--and should anything befall him, your mother might find her position precarious. Egypt is not gentle to its queens--Hatshepsut’s name is almost as black and forgotten as those of the old gods the Aten has subsumed.

Females, aged 18 to 30 from United Kingdom

Minimum Acting experience: No previous acting experience
Accents spoken: UK English

Guard

Audition:

1. Just doing our duty, sire.

2. Sire, forgive me, I may be imagining this, but--what’s that over the city?
