ROLES FOR ANY GENDER:
MAP VOICE: (Any age/any ethnicity/any accent/any gender)
Your standard issue (?) modern car navigation voice.
LINE 1: This route avoids traffic on I-eight-eighty. You are now on the fastest route.
LINE 2: You have arrived at your destination. (sing-songy/creepy) Good luuuuuuuck.
ROLES FOR WOMEN:
MICHELLE: (20s-30s, any ethnicity/any accent/cisgender or transgender)
Coworker to Mark. She’s very driven, to the point of missing the forest for the tree that is her sole focus, and right now that focus is dealing with an issue at the office.
LINE 1: Sorry I'm just...really in my head about this presentation today. I can't believe Susan would schedule a presentation where I need to talk in front of a bunch of people on the first day back.
LINE 2: Yeah we really need to hold the power company to account. Bury the lines already! How much more damage are we going to let them get away with?
LINE 3: (flattered) Aw thanks! I was a really nervous driver in high school, so my dad paid for extra defensive driving lessons. It was really fun, they had a roll bar on the car and everything which let me tell you, I definitely needed more than a few times. Did wonders for my confidence in scary driving situations though.
KAYLA: (20s-40s, any ethnicity/any accent/cisgender or transgender)
Lives with Rachel and a perfect example of your normal, average, fun-loving human being. They enjoy good banter.
LINE 1: (To Rachel’s pet) What are you eating now?? Ugh, every time I turn around you're eating some piece of trash or something...give me that!
LINE 2: Your dumb pet was eating, I don't know what. I found this little piece of plastic?
RACHEL: (20s-40s, any ethnicity/any accent/cisgender or transgender)
Lives with Kayla, pet owner, appreciates a good bit of sci-fi.
LINE 1: I didn't know you had a model speeder bike! When did you get it?
LINE 2: Weird. Hey, maybe if you dusted more often you'd remember what you had!
ROLES FOR MEN:
MARK: (20s-30s, any ethnicity/any accent/cisgender or transgender)
Coworker to Michelle, Mark is an overly-friendly guy that thinks he knows all of the quick fixes for life’s difficult problems. Not great at reading between the lines.
LINE 1: (teasing, but still being kind of an asshole) Do you really not remember how to drive to work? I know it's been a long time working from home but you uhh might need to get that memory checked.
LINE 2: (laughs) Oh yeah, you're nervous. I'll never understand how people can get so worked up and anxious over the littlest stuff. Oh, have you tried meditation?
LINE 3: (confused) What? No, no not the...the usual type of seriously wrong. I think something else is going on.
JAMES: (30s-50s, any ethnicity/any accent/cisgender or transgender)
An explorer of a world he’s only read about searching for a way to save his homeland. He documents his adventure with a personal recording device, into which all of his lines are delivered.
LINE 1: There's an immense grove of tall pillars just in front of me, spaced almost in an equidistant pattern. I can't tell how high they go, but the canopy is very dark. The reflected sunlight is showing me a way through. I'll proceed slowly. The grove floor also seems to be synthetic, with a regular pattern inscribed into it.
LINE 2: Oh no. (beat, whispering) A predator has spotted me, I think. I can only see that it's very large. (beat, rapid breathing) I've taken cover in a small nook in the cliff face. (beat, rapid breathing) It knows I'm here. It must have a keen sense of smell.
LINE 3: (Please provide samples of the following effort sounds with varied intensity: 1- Climbing. 2- Furtive running. 3- Terrified scream.)
