Comments
Some characters have some lines in the custom constructed language Teldrani, inspired by a hybrid of Arabic and Japanese. Please do your best to get these lines right (there are audio references for each), but focus primarily on acting the intention of the line. Translations of the lines will be available. If cast, you will have access to our linguistics consultant and other resources to practice all Teldrani lines before your recording date.

If cast, the recording session will be held remotely via Discord call. Talent must have a broadcast quality home studio or access to one. Payment will be sent via PayPal upon completion of the work.
Storyline
The Sojourn is an original science fiction audio drama, produced by Spacedock. The series follows a bold expedition into extragalactic space. https://www.thesojournaudiodrama.com

Adrift in the divide between galaxies and surrounded by the vast emptiness of the intergalactic void, the Tantalus Cluster is the only home humanity has ever known. Desperate and suffering under a catastrophic famine, humanity’s only hope is a strange nebula that has suddenly appeared beyond the edge of the cluster. It’s shifting clouds may hide a source of salvation for the people of Tantalus, but time is running out.
