​
​As a part of our Young Artists' Initiative, MediaContex will work with its partners to record the chapters of an audiobook of our students' original idea:

Synopsis

To learn about his biological parents, a teenage boy watches a set of cassettes that they recorded before they died.

Despite being raised by loving adoptive parents, eighteen-year-old Liam wishes to learn more about his biological mom and dad.

His wish comes true once he receives a mysterious package, which contains a set of video cassettes that his late mother and father recorded up until the day they died.

​As Liam unravels the mystery behind his parents lives, he discovers more about himself, and learns what it truly means to be a part of a family. 

Character List
​

Liam

​Age: 18
Gender: Male
Accent: Standard American is preferred, but not compulsory. You may audition with any accent you choose.
 
Liam, who was adopted at birth, always wished to learn more about his biological parents. He seizes an opportunity to do so by watching their cassettes, hoping that they will contain answers about his past.

Lines:

  1. (Neutral) It doesn't have a sender's return address. I don't know where it came from. 

  2. (Happy) Alexandra and Cory Williams. (Beat) Why do those names sound familiar?

  3. (Tearful/Grateful) You may not have given birth to me, but you raised me with the love of a biological mother. Thank you, ma. 

  4. (Angry/Hurt) You knew that I wanted to learn more about my past! How could you keep the truth from me?

Young Alexandra

Age: 17
Gender: Female
Accent: Standard American is preferred, but not compulsory. You may audition with any accent you choose.
 
Alexandra, Liam's mother, gave birth to him whilst she was still in high school. Optimistic and resilient, she handles childbirth with grace, and endures her family's judgement for the sake of her husband and son. 
​
Lines:

  1. (Neutral) Liam Willaims. (Chuckles) Has a ring to it, don't you think?

  2. (Happy) Look at the camera, Liam! Give us a big smile!

  3. (Sad) They don't approve of us. I doubt they ever will.

  4. (Angry) How dare you. You've judged Cory before you got a chance to know him!

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 2-5 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!
