SEEKING ACTORS FOR OUR FIRST SEASON!

Twilight Over Midgard is a serialized modern fantasy fiction podcast about a group of friends in Seattle who are recruited by two Norse gods to stop the apocalypse. Pulled from their lives as violinists, queer news writers, and grad students, they find themselves going on adventures they never could have dreamed of, traveling to strange realms, meeting gods—and trying desperately to survive long enough to ensure that the world doesn’t end.

There will be ten episodes averaging 30 min. in length. Recording will be remote. Some roles will require a mix of live and asynchronous recording; some can be done with a mix of both or purely asynchronous depending on the actor’s schedule. Compensation is $20-25 per episode depending on role (details below). The deadline for auditioning is February 1st 2021 at 11:59pm Pacific Time (UTC -8).

All applicants must be 18 or older by February 22nd.

There’s a lot of information here, but it’s all very important, so please read everything here thoroughly!

Content Warnings

Twilight Over Midgard is a podcast intended for adults and contains material that may be upsetting or triggering to some audiences. The show will contain:

  • Religion (the plot heavily involves Paganism and there are multiple smaller references to Christianity)

  • Death (both discussed and portrayed “on-screen”)

  • Violence

  • Torture (mildly portrayed)

  • Drowning (portrayed)

  • Natural disasters

  • Mild references to sex and sexual situations

  • Discussion of parental abuse, homophobia, transphobia, misogyny, mental illness, and trauma

  • Brief, non-graphic references to sexual assault

If you need further detail on any of those or if you want to check if another potential trigger will be in the show, please shoot us an email at starlightaudioprod@gmail.com!

Diversity & Inclusion

At Starlight Audio Productions, we’re committed to creating diverse stories with diverse casts. Some roles listed below have requirements for gender and/or ethnicity listed beneath the character name. If you do not meet a character’s requirements, please do not audition for that character. Characters specified as transgender or nonbinary are only open to transgender/nonbinary actors. All other roles are open to cisgender, transgender, and nonbinary actors. 

All roles are open to actors who have any accent! The show is set in the Pacific Northwest of the United States, but we’re more than happy to adjust a character’s background to account for other accents. While age ranges are listed for most characters, you don’t have to actually be in that age range to audition for the role—you just have to be able to play that age (e.g. if you’re in your late teens-20s, you’re welcome to audition for characters in their 30s).

To read our Diversity, Inclusion, and Harassment Policies, click here. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns about our policies, please feel free to contact us and we’ll be happy to discuss it with you.

Recording & Production Schedule

Audition decisions will be sent out by the end of the day on February 22nd. We’ll have a period from February 22nd through late March to onboard our cast and crew—let everyone get to know each other, let actors review scripts, etc. Our recording period will be late March through the end of May.

The recording method for the show will be a mix of live recording (all of the actors in a scene recording the scene while on a call together) and asynchronous recording (all of the actors in a scene recording their dialogue alone). Some roles can be done entirely asynchronously, but we’re hoping to do a mix of live and asynchronous recording for our primary and secondary roles. Primary roles are anticipated to have 6-8 hours of live recording broken into 3-4 sessions. Secondary roles are anticipated to have 3-5 hours of live recording broken into 2-3 sessions. 

For our primary and secondary roles, we’re ideally looking for actors who have availability for those sessions within the following windows across our recording dates:

  • Monday-Friday between 6:00pm-9:00pm PDT (UTC -7)

  • Saturday-Sunday between 9:00am-9:00pm PDT (UTC -7)

However, if you want to audition for a role and won’t be able to make those times, go ahead and audition anyway! While our preference for those roles is actors who can record live, we’re willing to be flexible for the right actor.

Twilight Over Midgard is planned to have three seasons recorded over the next few years. Most of the characters listed below will be present in at least the first two seasons of the show. While we completely understand that things change and actors may end up needing to leave the series early, we ask that you only audition for those roles if you’re currently confident that you can commit to at least two seasons! 

Compensation

We have two tiers of payment for our actors:

  • Primary & Secondary Roles: $25 per episode

  • Featured Roles: $20 per episode

Each actor will receive payment after all of their audio is submitted. We’re currently planning on transferring payments through Paypal or Venmo; if that would be an issue for you, shoot us an email to discuss alternate payment options!

Questions

If you have any questions, send an email to starlightaudioprod@gmail.com!

Audition Instructions

Please read and follow the instructions very carefully to ensure that your audition isn’t discarded. All actors need to have a good-quality microphone, and all primary and secondary actors need to have good over-the-ear headphones that won’t leak sound during live recording. Please record your audition with the same recording equipment you would use to record your lines if cast in the show—we’ll be taking your audio quality into account as part of your audition!

  • In your audition recording:

    • State the name of the role you’re auditioning for. Please do not state your own name!

    • Read 2-3 takes of each line (all in one recording, please).

  • Name your file [Character Name] Audition, e.g. Akemi Hayashi Audition. Please do not put your own name in the file name!

  • Export your file as .MP3 or .WAV.

  • Fill out the audition form linked below and attach your recordings. Please do not email your audition to us! All auditions must go through our audition form. Auditions sent to our email will not be considered.

  • You may audition for up to three roles! To do so, submit separate forms and separate recordings for each role. If there are more than three roles you’re interested in, please audition for the three you want the most and select “Yes” under “Are you willing to consider being cast in roles besides the one you're auditioning for?” on each audition form.

The deadline to submit is February 1st at 11:59PM Pacific Time (UTC -8). Callbacks may be conducted on an as-needed basis. Final decisions will be sent by end of day February 22nd. All actors who audition will receive an email letting them know if they’ve been cast or not!

As a quick note: Google Forms will automatically append the display name of your Google account to the audition file you submit. We’ll be manually removing them before we listen to them (so we can listen to them all objectively) and we’ll only be referring to you as the name you enter on the audition form, but the name of your Google account will be seen by someone on the team. If the name on your primary Google account is a name you don’t want us to see (e.g. your birth name), you might consider using or creating an alternate account! There will be a section in the form to enter the email you want us to contact you at, which does not have to be the email you auditioned with.

Characters

— Primary —

AKEMI HAYASHI (10 episodes)
Mid-Late 20s; Trans Female; Japanese

Requirements: Japanese transfeminine actors only. Character can be adjusted to use either she/her, she/they, or they/them pronouns depending on the actor’s preference.

A punk ace lesbian anarchist. Akemi is an incredibly passionate person—she doesn’t care for anything halfway. She’s deeply devoted to activism work (a trait passed onto her by her mother, a human rights lawyer). While she can be a bit sarcastic when annoyed, she’s a deeply caring person who would do anything for the people she loves. Akemi is a journalist and musician who co-founded a queer news/culture website.

Lines:

  • Oh, I don’t use Facebook. Did you know they sell your data? Yeah, it’s awful. And they track your location.

  • “Hate” is a strong word! I don’t hate him, we just… don’t get along. Look, just because I’ve written songs about our breakup doesn’t mean that I want him to get hurt. I’m glad he’s okay.

  • I believe that we’ll stop Ragnarök for the same reason that I believe my planet can fix climate change, stop capitalism, and end poverty: because I have to. If I stop believing that we can fix things, I’ll just… collapse. So I believe that things can change because it’s what gives me the energy to try to keep changing them. And maybe I’m wrong. But if everything ends horribly, I want to be able to say that I tried as hard as I possibly could to fix things. 

 
 

BENJI DALEY (10 episodes)
Mid-Late 20s; Male; White

An astrophysics student who cares very, very deeply about the people close to him—particularly his younger sibling, Morgan. Benji is an easygoing, kind, optimistic man with a protective streak a few dozen miles wide. He’ll be nice to you as long as you’re nice, but the second you threaten his loved ones (or any other innocent person), he’ll jump to defend them without a second thought. An ex-Christian who slid hard into Atheism… which is suddenly thrown out the window when he’s confronted with proof that the Norse gods exist. In a relationship with Brian.

Lines:

  • (After Morgan buses to his apartment in a snowstorm) Honey, you look like you’re freezing. Do you want me to get you some tea? Oh, my latest batch of kombucha just finished fermenting if you want to try that! It’s apple pie flavored. 

  • I didn’t believe in any gods because I didn’t see any proof that they existed. Now I have proof. I’d be stupid to insist they weren’t real after seeing one myself. And, you know, I’m fine with these gods existing! Honestly, the fact that there are gods out there is pretty cool. I’m just glad that it’s not Jesus.

  • (Angry, after someone tries to hurt his family) Get the hell away from them! I don’t want to see you come anywhere close to them ever again.

 
 

BRIAN DAVIS (10 episodes)
Mid 20s; Trans Male; Native/Indigenous/Aboriginal

Requirements: Transmasculine or nonbinary actors who identify as Native, Indigenous, and/or Aboriginal only. Brian currently does not have a specific cultural background set; after casting, the character’s background will be set to match the actor cast to play him.

An enthusiastic bear with a love of his friends and a deep passion for science. Currently studying to get his PhD in Astrophysics. He’s a very compassionate and caring person who always wants to see the best in everyone. His first suggestion for a plan will always involve non-violence, and—when possible—talking to people and trying to persuade them to listen to the team rather than sneaking around behind their back. In a relationship with Benji.

Lines:

  • If we actually succeed at this, I guess we’ll sort of be heroes, right? That’s pretty sick. Maybe we’ll be mythologized. Oh, maybe people will name distant stars or planets after us! That would be the coolest thing in the universe.

  • People are in danger, so we have to help them! How could you just stand by and do nothing when you could be trying to save them? Even if we fail, we have to try!

Brian is a poet who regularly does spoken word, and at one point in the show, he has to recite a poem that he wrote. Instead of a third line, please recite the following poem by Emily Dickinson. (He doesn’t actually read this specific poem, but we don’t have the poem written yet and we want to see how you sound reading poetry!). In your audition recording, please only recite the poem 1-2 times. 

This is my letter to the world,
That never wrote to me,—
The simple news that Nature told,
With tender majesty.
Her message is committed
To hands I cannot see;
For love of her, sweet countrymen,
Judge tenderly of me!

 
 

NATASHA ABNEY (10 episodes)
Early-Mid 20s; Female; Black

Requirements: Black actresses only.

An autistic young woman with a special interest in history (particularly Viking-era/Old Norse history). Natasha is incredibly intelligent and well-read, having been a voracious reader from a very young age. While she can be awkward emotionally, her awkward demeanor hides a deeply caring heart—she loves her family and friends even more than she loves history (which is saying something, because she really loves history).

Lines:

  • I’m definitely excited, but I’m also nervous. Really, really nervous. I’m 23, I wasn’t really expecting to have the literal fate of the universe in my hands.

  • You think I’m worn out just from that? Hah! I’m a college student in a Master’s program. I’ve stayed up until four in the morning writing an essay and aced a test five hours later. I’m not even close to finished.

  • (Upset) But we can’t give up now! We have to keep trying. I know this is horrible—trust me, I know. All I want to do is go home and curl up in my bed and cry for a few days. But we can’t give up now. If we give up now, then everything we’ve done—everything we’ve sacrificed, every horrible, awful thing we’ve been through—will have been for nothing. I can’t accept that.   

 
 

REESE BELMONT (10 episodes)
Early-Mid 20s; Trans Male; Black

Requirements: Black transmasculine actors only. Character can be adjusted to use either he/him, he/they, or they/them pronouns depending on the actor’s preference.

A professional violinist and long-time pagan. Reese is a caring, compassionate person with a heart sometimes too big for his chest. He loves the people around him very deeply. While he has a very gentle demeanor, you’d be a fool to underestimate him—he’s smart as a whip and is often coming up with plans on the fly to help the team solve new problems. Reese is a Norse Pagan who’s worshiped the god Baldr for years; when he realizes that Baldr is dead, he’s absolutely devastated.

Lines:

  • (Confident, bordering on cocky) Hey there. You know, I’m a violinist for the Seattle Symphony. How would you feel about doing a fiddling contest? “Devil Went Down to Georgia”-style, but with less Satan. The only thing being wagered is our pride. I know you've been playing for over fifty years—do you think you can beat a professional who’s been playing for eighteen?

  • Maybe we’ll make it. Maybe we won’t. But dammit, don’t we have to try? I don’t know about you, but I’m not okay with giving up just because it’s getting hard. We have to keep going. No matter what happens, we have to. Quitting isn’t an option anymore.

  • (Upset, tearful, maybe full-on crying) Baldr can’t be dead. I need him, I can’t—I don’t know what I’d do without him. I need him. I need him, he can’t be gone. He can’t be.

 
 

— SECONDARY —

THOR (7 episodes)
30s; Female; Black

Requirements: Black actresses only.

Goddess of Thunder and the sworn Protector of Midgard (Earth). A long time ago, Thor was a very rambunctious, cheerful, optimistic young woman. Now, after so long seeing the pain and suffering in the universe and the recent death of her younger brother, Thor has become somewhat jaded. She’s become a much calmer woman who still wants to protect the people she can, but who has become resigned to a rather humorously bleak worldview—she believes that the world is doomed, and she’s just sitting back and finding the humor in the things she can. Sif’s wife.

Lines:

  • (Incredibly gleeful/excited, after eavesdropping on a few mortals) You’re going to try to steal something from my mother? That’s hilarious. Oh, I’m not going to stop you! This is far too funny for me to interfere. I think you should absolutely try to steal it. I don’t think you can, but if you do, the look on mother’s face will be priceless.

  • Sometimes I want to stay away from mortals entirely—stop getting attached to them so it won’t hurt as much when something happens to them. But loving another person is always nice, even when it’s hard. Even when you know you’re going to have to watch them get hurt.

  • A long time ago, I believed that if everyone worked together, we could make the world we wanted to live in. A good world. Now I’m much older, and I am so very, very tired.  I’d like to rest. But I can’t. I’ve sworn to protect Midgard, and it’s still in need of protection. So I’ll keep going until I can’t go any further. Until I take my last breath, I’ll keep trying to defend Midgard.

 
 

FREY (6 episodes)
30s; Male; Any Ethnicity

God of the Harvest, Peace, and Prosperity. Frey is one of the Vanir—the other main group of gods in the Norse pantheon. A mostly easygoing man who harbors a somewhat-buried resentment towards Odin (and, to a lesser extent, the rest of the Æsir) for the aftermath of the Æsir-Vanir war, when he, his sister, and their father were part of a hostage exchange to try to ensure continued peace. His anger towards Odin aside, he’s a very gentle and kind man who wants what’s best for everyone. As a god also highly associated with sexuality, he’s known for having very intimate relationships with some of the people who worship him (though, in fairness, that’s certainly not a trait that’s unique to him—many of the gods do that to some degree).  

Lines:

  • Hey! Fuck off! This place is under my protection. You’re not welcome here.

  • I can’t help it, I love undermining Odin.

  • Odin is refusing to listen to anyone. She refused to believe that Loki didn’t kill Baldr on purpose, even though that makes a hell of a lot more sense than believing that Loki suddenly upgraded from harmless pranks to murdering one of her closest friends. And now she’s just going to keep pretending that everything will be fine as long as Loki and Sigyn don’t get out. I’m sick of it.

 
 

SIGYN (5 episodes)
30s; Female; Any Ethnicity

Goddess of Loyalty and Bravery. A fiercely passionate woman with a deep love for her family. Sigyn used to spend her time traveling around her favorite areas of Earth, going on wild adventures and getting into all of the trouble she could. However, a betrayal from someone close to her left her physically and emotionally scarred, and she decided to step back and live a calmer life among the gods. While she hasn’t had to get into a physical brawl in ages, she’s more than ready to verbally throw down with anyone who threatens her or her family. 

Sigyn is expected to have a larger role in season two.

Lines:

  • We’re asking you to do it because you’re all special. Loki and I have discussed this quite extensively since she was bound, and we believe you all are the ones who can stop Ragnarök. Will you all take on this duty? 

  • (To her wife, Loki, after Loki tells Sigyn not to worry about her) Shut up, of course I’m going to worry about you. Don’t be ridiculous.

  • (Can be played furious, distraught, or a mix of both; whatever choice, the lines should be very emotional) I can’t believe them. I don’t know how the Æsir can call our family monsters when they treat us like this again and again and again.

Note: “Æsir” is pronounced AH-seer

 
 

— FEATURED —

ODIN (3 episodes)
50s-60s; Female; Any Ethnicity

Goddess of Wisdom and War (among many other things). Odin is the Allmother: the leader of the group of gods known as the Æsir. She’s led her people for billions of years, and she intends to lead them for billions more—if she can stop Ragnarök. She’s willing to do anything to stop it… though, without realizing it, she’s gotten so focused on what she thinks is the right method to stop it that she’s neglecting all evidence telling her that she’s wrong. Odin is tough and resilient, but she’s also getting very, very tired.

Lines:

  • (Deeply frustrated, trying to keep her tone even) We don't need help from mortals to stop Ragnarök. I’ve taken care of Loki and Sigyn. They won’t be able to aid in Ragnarök, so Ragnarök shan’t occur. We're taking care of it and it’s completely under control. Everything will be fine. You may go.

  • (Angry) I am the ruler of Asgard! You cannot come into my hall and try to tell me that you know better than me! I am the leader of the Æsir, I know what I’m doing. Get out. Now.

Note: Æsir is pronounced “AH-seer”.

 
 

FREYJA (2 episodes)
30s; Female; Any Ethnicity

Goddess of Love and War. Freyja is one of the Vanir—the other main group of gods in the Norse pantheon. A fiery, passionate woman who harbors an open resentment towards Odin (and, to a lesser extent, the rest of the Æsir) for the aftermath of the Æsir-Vanir war, when she, her brother, and their father were part of a hostage exchange to try to ensure continued peace. She’s very protective, particularly of her brother, Frey, and her wife, Odr.

Lines:

  • (Fondly exasperated, to her brother) You’re absolutely ridiculous, Frey. Stay safe. I love you. 

  • (To Odin) Hey, you can’t tell my brother to shut up! We’re Vanir, we don’t have to listen to the ruler of the Æsir. It’s not like we came here by choice, we’re literally hostages from that stupid war! And now we’re stuck in Asgard, and you know what? We may be stuck with you, but you’re also stuck with us! If we have to live here for the rest of eternity, damn right we’re going to make life hard for you!

 
 

HEIMDALL (2 episodes)
30s; Male; Any Ethnicity

God of Foresight and Protection. A steady, stalwart man who guards the entrance to Asgard—the home of the gods—to protect it from all intruders. He tends towards a stoic and deadpan outer appearance, but that hides a deeply emotional interior.  

Lines:

  • (After a human snaps at him and then immediately apologizes) Actually, that was rather refreshing. Talking to mortals is more interesting when they’re willing to speak to me without fear.

  • You have fire, yes, but fire alone is not enough. You need heart. Many quests have failed because the heroes undertaking them had plenty of passion, but were not good and kind-hearted enough to succeed. Or, worse, they had the passion to succeed, but the seed of greed and hatred in their hearts grew with their new power. I want you to prove to me that you’re good of heart. 

 
 

SIF (2 episodes)
30s; Trans Female; Black

Requirements: Black transfeminine actresses only. Character can be adjusted to use either she/her, she/they, or they/them pronouns depending on the actor’s preference.

Goddess of the Harvest. A cheerful, kind woman whose warmth can turn to acid the second she’s dealing with somebody who hurts people unjustly—particularly those she cares about. She’s very passionate and is never afraid to speak her mind, even when doing so isn't necessarily the best or safest idea. Sif is married to Thor, and while she’s expected to show a large amount of respect towards Odin as both her mother-in-law and the Allmother, she’s made her disdain of Odin’s choices over the past three years no secret.

Lines:

  • (After a mortal asks her to define her relationship with a particular god; she’s delighted at being asked) Oh! What a delightfully human question. Not everything needs a name, little one. I love them. They love me. That’s all that either of us needs to know.

  • (Cold anger) I think that Odin is being absolutely ridiculous. She says that this is about stopping Ragnarök, but that’s not what it is at all. This is about revenge. Odin is too stubborn and has too low an opinion on Loki to believe that Baldr’s death was an accident, so she wanted to punish Loki for it. And now she can’t admit that Ragnarök is happening without admitting that her punishment of Loki was unjustified, so she’s going to run the world into the ground just to avoid admitting that she was wrong.

 
 

ÁNARR (2 episodes)
30s-60s; Any Gender; Any Ethnicity

A dwarf renowned for their fine craftsmanship—some of the finest in all the Nine Realms. They’ve been alive for a few centuries, and they’re a bit of a curmudgeon. Pride is their fatal flaw: they’ll accept nearly any challenge if you goad them into it by insinuating that the only reason they’d refuse is that they think they would lose.

Ánarr will likely not appear in future seasons, but the actor cast as Ánarr (if available) may be asked to return for other roles!

Lines:

  • You brought people to see me? Why would you do something like that?! Go away! Begone! Out of my house! We don’t take visitors here! Leave before I kick you out on your ass!

  • (So incredibly condescending) The little mortal thinks that she can beat me in a challenge of wits? Oh, I was wondering why you brought these people here, but now I understand—you wanted me to have a good laugh!

 
 

BRYNHILD (2 episodes)
30s; Female; Any Ethnicity

A Valkyrie—one of the elite guard of Asgard who protect the realm from harm. Brynhild is a fierce, tough woman who is a bit quick to anger and takes absolutely zero shit. She was human a long time ago, but a series of deeply personal betrayals nearly led to her death. She was rescued by a god, who took her to Asgard and recommended her for a spot in the Valkyries. While that happened a very long time ago, the trauma of betrayal still lingers, and she’s prone to lashing out at anybody who lies to her or who she thinks might betray her.

Lines:

  • (Sharp, irritated) Don’t lie to me. I have very little patience for liars.

  • (Very angry/annoyed) If you would pull your head out of your ass and stop being a dick for three seconds, you might be able to see that they’re trying to stop the apocalypse!

 
 

FRIGG (1 episode)
50s-60s; Trans Female; Any Ethnicity

Requirements: Transfeminine actors only. Character can be adjusted to use either she/her, she/they, or they/them pronouns depending on the actor’s preference.

Goddess of Foresight, Wisdom, and Family. The other ruler of Asgard, being married to Odin. Baldr’s mother. While Frigg used to be a very happy and optimistic woman, the death of Baldr has worn on her heavily, leaving her in a deep depression. Still, she carries herself with grace, presiding over her duties ruling the realm with great poise.

Lines:

  • (Calm, but hiding frustration) You’re all being completely ridiculous. Stop saying such horrible things to each other and talk like civilized adults. You’re billions of years old. Please act like it.

  • You know, Baldr was the God of Sunlight. Not many mortals know that—it’s been lost to time, like so many things about us. But if you were around him for any time at all, you wouldn’t be able to forget it. He radiated it. Not physically, of course, but… it was hard to be upset around him. He was so full of light and love that all of your worries just melted away when you spoke with him. And now he’s gone. The sunlight has left me.

 
 

NANNA (1 episode)
30s; Male; Any Ethnicity

God of Love and Family. A formerly outgoing and cheerful god who has become withdrawn and somewhat reclusive after the death of his husband. Nanna still has a lot of warmth and love in his heart, but it’s been largely overshadowed by his grief and his anger at how (in his mind) Odin is twisting Baldr’s death for her own gain.

Lines:

  • (After being compelled to speak about Baldr’s death) Well, I’d like to start by saying that I’m deeply upset that I was just trying to go about my day and now I’m being put in a position where, out of the blue, I have to stand up and speak on my husband’s death. (To a mortal girl who is now starting to look very nervous) Oh, it’s not you I’m upset with, my dear. I’m angry with Odin. She knows this already.

  • (Angry, bitter) What’s the point? What’s the damn point of any of it? Baldr is gone. Everything is going to shit. Who knows if we’ll even survive to see tomorrow? There’s no purpose anymore, not to anything. And please, for the love of the stars, spare me your “Baldr wouldn’t want you to feel like this” nonsense. It doesn’t matter what Baldr would want. He’s gone. So there’s no point to anything anymore.

 
 

FENRIR (1 episode)
Late teens-40s; Any Gender; Any Ethnicity

A giant wolf. One of Loki’s “monster children”. When Odin received a prophecy that Fenrir and his siblings would help cause the apocalypse, Odin had them all taken away from their parents. Fenrir was taken to live in Asgard under the watchful eyes of the Æsir. When Fenrir grew to a size large enough to swallow a grown adult whole, the Æsir grew terrified of them and tricked them into being chained up. While they originally loved the Æsir, the Æsir’s treatment of them has led Fenrir to hate all of them—particularly Odin. Their hatred has made them bitter and hungry for revenge.

Fenrir’s voice can be played as light and sweet, gruff and deep, or anything in between. They’re large enough to swallow a 7’ woman whole, but Loki refers to them as a “sweet little puppy”, so… make of that what you will.

Lines:

  • (Emotional, tender) I’ve received your prayers and offerings. Thank you. Very, very few bother to send those. Most people are terrified of me, you know. They think I’m evil. But you don’t. Thank you for that.

  • (Fiercely angry) Of course I want Odin to suffer! She took us away from our parents! I haven’t seen my siblings in over a thousand years! She’s horrible, I hate her, and I want her to get what she deserves!

 
 

TÝR (1 episode)
30s-60s; Any Gender; Any Ethnicity

God of Justice. While Týr is very strong and very brave, they’re also currently rather scared: they’re fated to die during Ragnarök, killed by a monstrous dog named Garm. Despite their fear, they’re full of determination: they’re determined to defy the prophecies and survive. 

Lines:

  • (Scared, but determined) I really, really do not want to die. I’m not going to be taken down by some rabid dog. I’m a warrior, I’ve lived for billions of years, and I’m going to live.

  • (Angry, defensive) I did what I had to do! Stars know I wasn’t happy about it, but it was the only way to keep everybody safe. I had to do it.

In addition to the 18 roles listed above, we’ll be casting two actors to play 3-4 small roles each. Each of the roles will appear in 1-2 episodes and have a small number of lines. These are open to actors of any gender and ethnicity. The rate of pay will be $20 per episode. If you’re interested in being considered for those, be sure to click “yes” under “Are you willing to consider being cast in roles besides the one you're auditioning for?” on your audition form!
