Description:
My final project for next year is to write and direct a 40 minute play. I decided to do an adaptation of “The Count of Monte Cristo” by Alexandre Dumas, as it’s one of my favorite books of all time. I’ve posted this on here so that I can get a feel of how the play is running, the pacing, timing, the lines, and feel of it. As I can’t start real life auditions until November of this year, I thought I’d give it a try on here. I want to do a whole run through, with the added music and sound effects that will be edited in by me. You’ll get a copy of the entire thing and a special thanks listed in the program.

Please, have at least a somewhat decent microphone. It doesn’t have to be professional, but it shouldn’t sound like your talking into a potato.

We will be doing weekly to bi-weekly cast meetups on either discord or skype. This is to act out scenes together or ask questions and discuss. So, please make sure that you will not have a very busy schedule and that you have either of the applications listed above.

If you have any questions and concerns that I did not address, please feel free to comment down below or contact me on the contact details listed above.

Thank you so much for reading and I wish you the best of luck. And, I hope you consider giving this project a shot. Break a leg at auditions!

CHARACTERS AVAILABLE FOR AUDITION

 Collapse/Hide All Characters Expand/Show All Characters

Edmond Dantes/The Count of Monte Cristo



NO
IMAGE
Name: Edmond Dantes/The Count of Monte Cristo
Gender: Male
Age: Adult
Characteristics/Notes:
Character Age: 19 (past); 42. Young Dantes should have a more medium pitch voice. While, the Count, should have a deep sultry one. I want to see a range that is heavily present within the character himself. From a bright, bubbly, and naive young man to a cold, calculating revenge machine to the wise, regretful side.
You need to be to audition. If you do not have an account, please click here to register.
Audition Lines:
Line 1:
"I ran all the way to the Notary. For the wedding license. I have been made Captain of The Pharaon, Mercedes. Will you be a Captain’s wife?"
Line 2:
"No, Monsieur, death is no punishment. Death is the release. True justice, on this earth, is nothing more nor less than the protracted application of equal and appropriate pain. One might, for example, kill the son in order to destroy the father. (Chuckles.) But forgive me. I have distracted you for too long."
Line 3:
"Oh God, fool that I am! What have I done? I have lost the thing I most wanted! I have buried myself deeper in hate than ever I was buried in the Chateau d’If. If it is only the dead who leave the Chateau d’If, then why did I have to live?! Only the dead... (Realization:) Only the dead!"

Gerard de Villefort



NO
IMAGE
Name: Gerard de Villefort
Gender: Male
Age: Adult
Characteristics/Notes:
Character Age: 23 (past); 46. De Villefort's voice lands about medium. Being ambitious, he comes off as a very pompous and arrogant individual. And, it should be heard in his manner of speaking. The voice actor should also be able to pull off going insane.
You need to be to audition. If you do not have an account, please click here to register.
Audition Lines:
Line 1:
"If the truth were told, were I to start over, I might seek for a somewhat less gloomy occupation than serving justice."

Benedetto Bertuccio



NO
IMAGE
Name: Benedetto Bertuccio
Gender: Male
Age: Young Adult
Characteristics/Notes:
Character Age: 21. Voice is around medium. He has about the same air to himself as his father, Gerard de Villefort. He just has a few more screws loose than his father. A wild card who is the embodiment of chaos himself. His voice should be similar to Gerard, but raspier.
You need to be to audition. If you do not have an account, please click here to register.
Audition Lines:
Line 1:
"(Repeating unenthusiastically:) I am Andrea, Marquis Cavalcanti. My family is probably the oldest, the noblest, and undoubtedly the richest in all Italy."
Line 2:
"I tell you I didn’t steal the old crow’s necklace. For God’s sake why should I? I had it made with Eugenie. I never even saw the damn thing until it fell out of my coat."
Line 3:
"Don’t you recognize me, father? Thief and murderer? Of course I am your son! Who else could father such as me?"

Character Age: 25 (past); 48. His voice land in the medium-high range. A greedy and highly intellectual man. He tends to be very calm and collected, but lacks any sense of charisma. The tone of his voice is very similar to that of a sleazy car salesman.
You need to be to audition. If you do not have an account, please click here to register.
Audition Lines:
Line 1:
"Fernand, I don’t care whether Mercedes marries you, Edmond, or Napoleon Bonaparte himself. All I care about is that Dantes never becomes Captain of The Pharaon."

"Well, the word “unlimited.” ...It’s rather vague. In financial circles we like to be slightly more specific. Perhaps if you would tell me exactly how much you wish to draw at present?"

Abbe Faria



NO
IMAGE

Gender: N/A
Age: Old/Senior
Characteristics/Notes:
Character Age: 63. A wise and very eccentric old wo/man. Anywhere in the medium range will do. After spending more than a decade in the Chateau d'If, s/he does appear to be quite fragile physically, but not in spirit.

You need to be to audition. If you do not have an account, please click here to register.
Audition Lines:
Line 1:
"Given up hope? Never! But hope of escape...yes."
Line 2:
"I almost regret the little I have taught you already. Because I have opened a door in your heart to a place you didn’t know existed. Vengeance is a harsh mistress, Edmond."
Line 3:
"You are my son, Edmond. You are the child of my captivity. I chose the church, but God, in his wisdom, gave me a son. A son to console the prisoner who could not be free… (He erupts in a coughing/choking fit. He then proceeds to die.)"

Line 1:
"Our fathers promised Mercedes and I to each other as children."

Albert Mondego



NO
IMAGE
Name: Albert Mondego
Gender: N/A
Age: Young Adult
Characteristics/Notes:
Character Age: 19. Voice is medium in range. Energetic and naive, s/he is a foil to Edmond Dantes. Being the reflection of Edmond's younger self. S/He's brash, reckless, and temperamental like his/her father, Fernand. Through the events in the story, his/her innocence is shattered. Which the process of losing it should be reflected.

Line 3:
"I know what he did to you. It was unspeakable. But, he was my father. You would take vengeance, wouldn’t you? But I can’t. I forgive you, Edmond Dantes."

Heloise de Villefort



NO
IMAGE
Name: Heloise de Villefort
Gender: Female
Age: Adult
Characteristics/Notes:
Character Age: 34. Her voice is pretty high pitched and soft spoken. Heloise's greed and jealousy over her step-daughter, Valentine, give her a villainous, methodical nature. Sometimes coming off as snotty, which contradicts her sweet, motherly persona that she tries to display.
You need to be to audition. If you do not have an account, please click here to register.
Audition Lines:
Line 1:
"I’m curious, Count. The potion with which you miraculously revived Hermione Danglars when she fainted so embarrassingly at her little soiree, what was that?"
Line 2:
"He’s nothing but a fortune hunter. You know Valentine inherited all the money from her mother - so when she leaves this house! Well, we barely live on the pittance of a salary my husband receives."
Line 3:
"Detestable girl! The little scoundrel had everything!"

Hermione Danglars



NO
IMAGE
Name: Hermione Danglars
Gender: Female
Age: Adult
Characteristics/Notes:
Character Age: 39. Voice is about medium-high. A notorious gossip and social elite, Hermione is about every basic popular girl ever. Though, due to an incident that happened in Auteuil, even the mere mention of the name sparks her into a state of mental/emotional instability.
You need to be to audition. If you do not have an account, please click here to register.
Audition Lines:
Line 1:
"I have a wonderful idea! I think we should have a ball, Baron. It would be quite a coup to present the Count of Monte Cristo to all Paris, would it not?"

Lucien Debray



NO
IMAGE
Name: Lucien Debray
Gender: N/A
Age: Adult
Characteristics/Notes:
Character Age: 26. Medium-high pitch for his/her voice. A very nervous creature. There isn't anything in the world that Debray isn't worrying about. Though s/he can come off as timid sometimes, if anything compromises him/her, s/he'll definitely say something about it.
You need to be to audition. If you do not have an account, please click here to register.
Audition Lines:
Line 1:
"Spain is in turmoil, these shares are very speculative."
Line 2:
"Baron… Baron… My God…It's the text of a telegram from our Ambassador to Spain to the Minister of the Interior. De Villefort’s office sent it over."

Haydee Tebelin



NO
IMAGE
Name: Haydee Tebelin
Gender: Female
Age: Young Adult
Characteristics/Notes:
Character Age: 22. The pitch of her voice lands in the medium to high range. A former Grecian princess sold into slavery after the betrayal of her father, Ali Tebelin. Just like Monte Cristo, she is as well, led by revenge throughout the story. Which isn't that surprising as Edmond becomes a father figure to her after he buys her freedom. But, her adoration for him is very apparent.
You need to be to audition. If you do not have an account, please click here to register.
Audition Lines:
Line 1:
"Free to do what? You saved me and I have given my life to you. You will be the bow and I the arrow that kills the man who enslaved me. I have never loved anyone but my father and you."
Line 2:
"What need have I of others? My father called me his love. You call me your joy. And both of you have called me your child."
Line 3:
"Yes, I recognize him. Do you recognize Haydee, Fernand Mondego? The daughter of Ali Tebelin whom you murdered?"

NO
IMAGE

Gender: Female
Age: Young Adult
Characteristics/Notes:
Character Age: 20. Valentine has a medium range voice. She's everything that Heloise pretends to be, but a little more feisty in personality. As she gets poisoned throughout the play, she should appear to be getting increasingly more sick.

HELP
  FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
• Why does my MP3 not upload?
We understand that some users are getting errors when uploading MP3 files. Certain encodings will not be compatible with the upload code. Originally Audacity saved MP3s worked at the time Casting Call was written. However the software may have changed the way it saves MP3s. At an unknown future time, the process will change where auditions will be recorded and saved directly on the site. In the meantime, please ask fellow members who have success with MP3 uploads how they are saving/encoding their files. Thanks and apologies for the inconvenience.
• Why is there a limit to 4 active projects per member?
While a project owner is welcome to have as many active projects running as they wish outside BTVA, the limit is imposed because having too many active projects can be somewhat "unrealistic". We want those who are auditioning to feel that each project is getting the attention and quality it deserves given auditioners themselves are putting in their own time and effort. Once a project owner flags a project as "Completed", they are welcome to create a new project.
• Can I audition more than once for a character?
The system is built to allow ONE audition per character. This is to avoid having a number of auditions from the same member and making the project owner have to listen to all of them. For now, if you or the project owner wishes you to submit another audition, the project owner will need to "Delete" your audition. The project owner can do this in the "Edit Character/Manage Auditions" link.
• How do I flag a character as being Cast?
As a project owner you will see a "Edit Character/Manage Auditions" link for each character. Clicking it will allow you to Cast, Backup or Pass an audition. Casting a character will prevent new auditions from being submitted for that character.
• Why do I need a valid email address?
If you audition for a project and are cast in a role, you will notified by email.
• How do I contact members cast for a project?
You can contact members using Private Messaging feature available here in the forums.
