<aside> 📢 CARBON 96 FM is a original cyberpunk audio drama about two burnouts: Jimmy Slick, a failed star suffering from arrested development, and Eris, a disgraced reporter being used as controlled opposition. Forced through circumstance to host the midnight slot at a dead end radio station. They give nightly reports on the news of their world, interview the dangerous and deranged, and shill-shill-shill their hearts out as they somehow try to keep from killing one another.

CARBON 96 FM is an original cyberpunk property that will be published to various streaming services, as well as YouTube due to there being a non-acted visual component. This is first and foremost an audio drama, and so with that we are looking for actors who can believably dramatize the dialogue they’ve been presented. We want dramatic reads punctuated by the personality that an actual radio show demands. Sighing, the clicking of tongues, muttering, and whatever convincing effort may be required to pantomime the physicality of certain scenes. Emote, emote, emote!
If selected, the audio you submit will be utilized for this fictional radio show and released on a per episode basis. As we are mirroring a radio broadcast, you can expect the final production to include jingles, commercials, interviews, and callers.
You will be asked to interact with your counterpart to confirm that you are a good fit for your role. While there is zero chemistry between the two leads, they must be able to believably lock horns, empathize with one or the other where appropriate, and provide the necessarily believable reactivity to responses befitting their characters in their shared dialogue. To this end, improvisation is a certainty, as is deviating from the script in order to get a more realistic take or appropriately dramatic take.
