Coldfire​ - Auditions Closed

​As a part of our Young Artists' Initiative, MediaContex will work with its partners to create a pilot of an audiodrama of our students' original idea:
Picture

Synopsis

When a young prince is banished by a ruthless dictator, he must work with a group of revolutionaries to reclaim his throne.

The kingdom of Kalexis, a mystical land in which magic is commonplace, is governed by a benevolent queen. This era of prosperity is interrupted once the queen dies, and her dictatorial stepbrother rises up to take the throne.
 
In order to cement his position as the new king of Kalexis, the Usurper threatens to kill sixteen-year-old Alexander, the queen’s only son and true heir to the throne. This treacherous plan is foiled by the Coldfire Insurgence, a group of revolutionaries who are sworn to protect the young monarch.
 
Although Alexander is stripped of his crown, title and security, he has not lost his love for his homeland. With the help of his allies, he must evade his uncle’s soldiers, and build an army that can help him reclaim his throne.

Character List
​

Alexander
​

Picture
Gender: Male
Age: 16
Accent: Standard American is preferred, but not compulsory. You may audition with any accent you choose.
Alexander, the crown prince of Kalexis, hopes to rule his kingdom with his late mother’s wisdom and courage. He strives to liberate the villages that his uncle’s forces have terrorized.
 
Although Alexander’s chivalry is admirable, his kindness makes him gullible. As a result, he is susceptible to his uncle’s attempts to capture him.
 
Lines:
 
  1. (Neutral) I may have lost my crown, but I am the true prince of this kingdom. I’ll protect my people with my life.

  2. (Happy) We’ve liberated the town of Riverlake! The raiders are gone, and its people are free.

  3. (Sad) I wish my mother was here. If she was still alive, the kingdom wouldn’t be in this mess.
    ​
  4. (Angry) I don’t care! If my friends are in danger, I’ll join the fight.

Giselle
​

Picture
Gender: Female
Age: 20
Accent: Standard American is preferred, but not compulsory. You may audition with any accent you choose.
Giselle, a member of the late queen’s entourage, once served as a lady in waiting. Faithful and compassionate, she is loyal to the queen’s only son.
 
Resourceful and brave, she aids Alexander’s escape from the castle and swears to defend him from the Usurper’s armies. Although Giselle is not a trained fighter, she dons an armor and wields a sword to protect her liege.
 
Lines:

  1. (Insistent) We’ve been walking for hours. We’re obviously lost. Let me see the map.

  2. (Happy) Your highness, we found a path through the woods! If we head through this clearing, we’ll reach the town by nightfall. 

  3. (Sad) Alexander’s mother was a brilliant leader. He isn’t the only person who’s grieving her death.
    ​
  4. (Angry) I’m not going anywhere! If my prince is in trouble, I’ll protect him with my life.

Griffin
​​

Picture
Gender: Male
Age: 30
Accent: Standard American is preferred, but not compulsory. You may audition with any accent you choose.
Griffin, a soldier who served the late queen, defied the kingdom’s Usurper by aiding Prince Alexander’s escape. Although the Usurper’s armies are full of his former allies, Griffin remains adamant in his mission to protect the prince.
 
Courageous and stalwart, Griffin will risk his life to defend his friends. Despite his loyalty, his inflated ego prevents him from accepting their help in dangerous situations.
 
Lines:
 
  1. (Neutral) Trust me, your highness. Those merchants are bandits in disguise. We’re not asking them for directions.

  2. (Happy) Feast your eyes, my friends. We have fresh meat for breakfast! 

  3. (Sad) The royal soldiers were once my friends. I never imagined that we would be enemies. 
    ​
  4. (Insistent) Run, your majesty! I’ll fend off the raiders.

Elvira
​​

Picture
Gender: Female
Age: 30
Accent: Standard American is preferred, but not compulsory. You may audition with any accent you choose.
Brutal and devious, Elvira is a powerful magician who helped the Usurper to dethrone the royal family. As the Usurper’s royal sorcerer, Elvira has command over his soldiers and councilmen.
 
Eventually, she plans to turn the Usurper’s armies against him, and claim the kingdom for her own. Blinded by ambition and arrogance, Elvira may not realise that she’s the one who will be betrayed.
 
Lines:

  1. (Neutral) We have gained control of the royal armies. That boy doesn’t stand a chance against our forces.

  2. (Happy) Well, if it isn’t the banished prince! It’s a pleasure to see you again, your highness.

  3. (Bitter) I’ve spent too many years pandering to that privileged brat. It’s time I put him in his place.
    ​
  4. (Angry) (Cold Laughter) On the contrary, my liege! I was the one who poisoned the queen. Your crown belongs to me!

FAQ

Production Questions

Each project has its own budget, requirements, and plans for distribution. If you are cast for any of these roles, you'll be contacted by our casting representative, and will be able to negotiate your rates with them.

If you are cast, your clips will be used for internal pitching purposes. If you are cast, our students will use your clips to create pilot episodes, which will be showcased to our network of producers.

Your audition clips will not be used without your permission.

If this project generates enough funding and support from our network, we will broadcast our pilot materials to the public. Until then, selected voice actors will be paid for their work, and they will be credited in our internal pitching materials.

We are generating pilot materials for internal pitching purposes, and are currently unable to publicly disclose the cast list.

If we are able to generate enough funding and support to make this project public, we will disclose a full list of our cast and crew. Until then, our cast and crew will be paid for their work, and they will be credited in our internal pitching materials.

Submission Questions

Please ensure that you’ve sent your clips to the right email – [email protected].

Please make sure that you haven’t incorrectly typed “mediacontext”.com instead.

If all else fails, please contact Tiffany at [email protected] for assistance.

Of course! We keep all of our auditions on record. Even if you aren’t cast for this project, we’ll contact you about future opportunities.

Alternatively, you may contact us at [email protected] and tell us what your preferred accent is. We’ll let you know if any VA opportunities come up.

If a character has a "Standard American" accent, we'd like you to use a typical General American accent for all of your lines.

Sorry, friend. Auditions will be closed after the deadline we've listed. However, we'll regularly update our auditions page with new projects, and you won't be short of opportunities.

You're welcome to submit 1-3 takes per line. Compile all of your takes for each line into a single file.

Label each line according to their line number. If there are four lines for your character, you should have four files in total.

Sure. Please separate each character’s lines into separate ZIP folders, and label each file as:

“CharacterName 1_YourName_Audition”

“CharacterName 2_YourName_Audition”

You may include all of your files in the same email. Label your email subject as: "[CharacterName1], [CharacterName 2] _YourName_Audition”

We're always looking for new talent. Feel free to share your demo reel, profile, website, etc. in your audition email.

If you're shortlisted for our roles, you'll hear back from us approximately 1-2 days after the audition deadline has passed.

Please don't hate us if we don't send you a reply. Due to the number of auditions we receive, we may not be able to respond to each email. However, we appreciate your submission, and we hope that you'll continue to support our projects!

Unfortunately, MediaContex's team has a lot on their plate, and we may not be able to deliver feedback to individual VAs. However, we're very grateful to you for reaching out, and we hope that you'll continue to support our projects!
