Seeking professional Voice Over Actors for a high quality Full Length Audio Drama. All the bells and whistles of a historical drama, less the visual!

This project supports the independent movie project http://ElijahandGeorge.com The objective is to record the dialogue in character with supporting scene narration to further promote the movie, build a wide audience and generate revenue for the movie budget.
Elijah and George - A Revolutionary Tale is a feature film project - the story is based on letters and diaries from the period and follows the adventures of a farm-boy and his faithful dog caught up in the struggle for independence during the American Revolutionary War.
These roles are to be fully acted, as opposed to a monotone reading in a booth. You are comfortable getting into character and interacting (dialogue) with your fellow cast members as if you were on a movie production set.
We are fortunate to have a Financial Sponsor to Cover costs for the Audio Engineer, Post Production and Distribution!
