Upcoming auditions for live radio drama

Don't forget!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------



This is a great opportunity for theatre folks to branch out into an exciting new medium. Come and see how your acting changes when there's no blocking involved! Actors are not required to fully memorize their lines, rehearsals will be approximately once a week on a fairly flexible schedule, there is minimal costuming and only a 3 performance run, October 29th, 30th and 31st. What we need from you is your voice! We've got opportunities for a variety of accents, including German, French, British upper-class and British lower-class, as well as a variety of age and vocal ranges.

Auditions will be held at the First Congregational Church of Somerville, 89 College Avenue, in Somerville.
Monday, August 20th, 7PM
Tuesday, August 21st, 7PM
Thursday, August 23rd, 7PM (callbacks and late auditions, please contact us if you have special circumstances that prevent you from auditioning on the 20th or 21st)

Audition sides and audition forms are up on the website! They can be found at the bottom of the page here: http://www.pmrp.org

The full draft scripts, along with the original recordings and links to the two original short stories, are up on the HOTU Member Files page: http://tinyurl.com/28pjkg

This sounds so neat! I haven't acted since college but would be very interested in auditioning. Is there anyone I should e-mail rather than just leaving a comment here?

[eclecticavatar.livejournal.com]

just drop me a confirmation for what night you'll be coming: a dot renee dot johnson at gmail dot com

Thanks!

[ifotismeni]

haha that is so cool! :D

[countlibras.livejournal.com]

I think so too. Are you going to try it?

[ifotismeni]

i dunno! i have radio experience but no acting experience.

[eclecticavatar.livejournal.com]

Honestly, none needed. If you can get an emotion across in your voice, all you're doing is standing in front of a microphone holding a script! You should definitely give it a shot if you know your way around a radio mic.

[ifotismeni]

now i'm really tempted, heh. :) thanks!

[lemononmylips.livejournal.com]

this sounds so fun! i've done a ton of theater and radio, so this is right up my alley!

thanks for the info!

[whitefire.livejournal.com]

I'm gonna have to try out for this.

[eclecticavatar.livejournal.com]

Excellent! I'll post a reminder on Monday of that week.

I would love to help out on the technical side.. should I go to an audition?

[eclecticavatar.livejournal.com]

Go onto http://www.pmrp.org and scroll to the bottom where the audition information is. Send an email to the Technical producer and let him know what you'd be interested in helping out with.

Thanks!

Got this link from mcvarmazi and I see you have an opening for graphic designer. It sounds fun; what do I do to put my name in the hat?

[eclecticavatar.livejournal.com]

Drop me an email at a dot renee dot johnson at gmail dot com and I'll give you the particulars.

Or skip the web page and send it to me directly at neil at audioboy dot net.

maybe it's just my browser ...

[pierceheart.livejournal.com]

could you cut down your text in the lj cut?

lj-cut text= seems to be breaking some views of friends' pages, in firefox, at least, and causes a scroll bar requirement.

Thanks.

Re: maybe it's just my browser ...

[eclecticavatar.livejournal.com]

It is and has been under a cut. I use Firefox, as well, and it seems to be working just fine. Thanks

Re: maybe it's just my browser ...

[pierceheart.livejournal.com]

I guess you missed my point: the text you used in your lj cut, as it HAS to display as a one line link, will not word wrap.

Re: maybe it's just my browser ...

never mind, it's not your post, it's someone who used a pre tag at the beginning of their post looking for a roommate.

I apologize.
