🎬CASTING CALL FOR SHORT PROOF-OF-CONCEPT FILM🎥
"The Bloodline: Ascension of Seraphim" For YouTube
(Late Fall 2025 / Early 2026)
Seeking 4 voice-over actors (All Genders)
Roles listed below:
The Matron – An elderly, unseen, malevolent figure of power. Wife of the leader of the Community of the Assembly of Devotion cult, "The Patron." Ancient, cold, dismissive, and completely detached. She discards daughters as if they were garbage, all for the sake of the belief system she and her husband have upheld for over half a century.
Voice Type: Lorraine Ashbourne – Deep voice, sepulchral tones, intimidating. A force to be reckoned with.
Vocal Delivery: Spidery whispers. The malevolent voice in your head kind of vibe.
Accent: American
The Patron – The elderly, unseen, malevolent founder of the Community of the Assembly of Devotion cult. Equal to his wife in manner, the Patron is obsessed with control and power, to the point that he overlooks his secretary, The Messenger—which will work against him in due time.
Voice Type: Brendan Coyle – Intimidating with a touch of deterioration. A powerful figure not to be underestimated, but out of touch enough to miss his empire being stolen out from under his nose.
Vocal Delivery: Whispering, power-hungry, insane.
Accent: American
The Messenger – Narcissistic and predatory religious figurehead of the Community of the Assembly of Devotion cult. Secretary to the Matron and the Patron, who slowly begins rewriting their doctrine and placing himself in a position of power over the cult leaders he is presumed to serve. He is charming, assertive, and disregards personal boundaries—including those of his supposed employers. He becomes the monster in the nightmares of all the women in the community, especially Seraphim herself.
Voice Type: Andy Serkis – Intimidating, mythic, seductive, and creepy as hell.
Vocal Delivery: Sepulchral, Southern Baptist preacher vibe with a touch of greasy car salesman—but not over the top.
Unsettling in a way you can’t quite put your finger on.
Accent: American with a slight southern lilt
Sage – Seraphim's eldest and last remaining sister. Also excommunicated from the Community of the Assembly of Devotion after the murder of her lover, Celeste—a victim of the Messenger’s cruel grooming tactics. Her deepest desire is to take the Community down and watch it burn. But first, and most importantly, she must save her sister from Celeste’s horrific fate.
Voice Type: Julianne Moore – Similar to Matteo’s delivery: soft, compassionate, and balancing protection with heartbreak, but laced with enough feminine rage to send shockwaves through endless timelines.
Accent: American

Please write: “The Bloodline: Ascension of Seraphim – Audition –
[Role you’re submitting for]” in the subject line.
Submissions without this subject line will not be considered.
Prior voice-over experience is not necessary, but prior acting experience is preferred
(yes, even school or church plays count as acting experience, you don’t need to have been in a film).
No formal acting training required.
This is a no-budget project, and as such, these roles are currently unpaid.
That said, if the short is successful on YouTube,
I absolutely intend to pay the actors for their work in the future if I’m able to do so.
Credit will be provided on IMDb, and a digital copy of the project will be made available for your reels.
Thank you.
