Young Writers Society

Firstly, I just want to thank everyone who sent in entries; they were all a delight to read in different ways and made this decision a difficult one. That being said, I am pleased to announce the selection of the first YWS Radio Theater. Jamie's Coin, by @Osterkaktus is a beautiful and thrilling story about what happens to us after we die and seems tailor-made to the radio genre. The date for the show has not been set, but will probably take place in mid-June. More details will arise once we get close.

For now, if you'd like to voice one of the parts, information is below. For each part I am looking for a specific type of voice - so if you're interested and fit the parameters, please apply.

There are four openings

- Death (male, deep, baritone, (bonus points if British, but this isn't a must))
- Lucifer (female, sly, cunning, "femme fatale" - think Jessica Rabbit )
- Sarah (female, softer, innocent)
- Gatekeeper (either gender - authoritative, commanding)

If you'd like to apply for a part, you have until this Thursday, May 22nd. Send me a PM with the following:

Part desired:
Days between now and the end of June that you won't be around:
Best day of the week and time of the day to rehearse:
Worst day of the week and time of the day to rehearse:

I'd also love it if you could record your voice or make a short youtube video explaining why you want to do this. It shouldn't be more than a minute long, but I just want to hear what you sound like.

Notification will probably occur on Saturday, and we'll go from there! If you're chosen I'll send you the script and my skype username. Thanks again to everyone that submitted!

Depending on when in June it is (I leave on the twelfth) I would enjoy being death. I can do a British accent.

I'm so interested in what the story is going to be! Elinor, you don't know if people will be able to tune in on their phones, do you?

Ooh, this is exciting!

@HighTop I'm not sure. I'm going to be using BlogTalkRadio, maybe you can see if there's an app for your phone? Otherwise I don't know that it would work.

Is it going to be on the radio? Or is it somewhere else...

@Holysocks - BlogTalkRadio is a radio on the internet! So yes and no?

Oh, cool! How can do people find it... eventually?

@Elinor%20Brynn and @Holysocks...That's what Nate used for the radio shows, right? In that case I was able to follow the link from here and use my phone easily.

Think I'll just listen for this one... But will probably audition next time!

Just want to say that I only just noticed this (facepalm) and I'm interested in applying. I'll have it by the end of today but just please don't cut the deadline short!

I'd go for gatekeeper, just let me know of time commitments? Weekends work best for me.

Okay if anyone else wants to apply you have until 00:00 GMT (the next 3 and a half hours) before I close submissions, and make announcements early next week.

Submissions are now closed! Look for the announcement (and further steps) soon!
