Audio Drama Auditions

Find information on our current audiobook and podcast project below. Currently, the audio dramas project is a series of short stories from our book Nocturnal Horizons.

Story One - Prosopagnosia

A seasoned contract killer finds himself ensnared by a seductive saxophonist whose haunting melodies awaken buried emotions—and hidden dangers. Amidst blurred identities and ghostly desires, will he confront the reality he's avoided, or lose himself completely?

Themes: Psychological suspense, Noir, Seduction, Identity loss.

Trigger Warnings/Themes: Alcoholism, murder, seduction/manipulation, psychological horror.

Story Two - Solitary

Tormented by traumatic memories and trapped in a spiral of self-doubt and fear, Victoria must navigate the pain of her past in a therapy session that forces her darkest secrets to surface. As reality blurs with metaphor, her struggle becomes a battle for survival—and sanity.

Themes: Trauma, Mental health, Emotional resilience, Abuse recovery.

Trigger Warnings/Themes: Severe mental health crises, self-harm, domestic and sexual abuse, suicidal ideation, PTSD, intense therapy settings, emotional manipulation, threats of violence.

Story Three - Consequence

Consequence is a full-length psychological audio drama exploring the weight of every action, and the trauma left in its wake. When a hardened young woman begs for her life by telling one final story, we’re taken through a haunting past of debt, manipulation, and survival. What begins as a simple tale of escape spirals into a cycle of murder, guilt, and unraveling truths—where no choice is without its cost, and even the quietest witnesses are shaped by what they’ve seen.

A gritty, emotionally raw story of found family, betrayal, and the liminal space between survival and damnation.

Themes: Violence, Trauma, Tragedy, Betrayal, Crime

Trigger Warnings/Themes:

• Graphic violence (gunshots, physical assault, implied torture)

• Emotional trauma and grief

• Death of close family and loved ones

• Psychological manipulation and coercion

• Implied child trafficking and forced servitude

Casting Policy

All audition decisions are final.

Submissions are reviewed based on performance quality, technical standards, professionalism, and project needs.

Failure to adhere to posted instructions (including deadlines, file requirements, and behavior expectations) may result in immediate disqualification. Be sure to double check specific casting lists, and our social media for early deadline changes. We state everything clear and earnestly.

We do not offer feedback on individual rejections.

Requests for reconsideration, arguments, or further discussion regarding casting decisions will not be entertained.

Submissions must come from real, verifiable human performers.

AI-generated audio, misrepresentation of experience, or falsified credentials will result in permanent blacklisting from all current and future projects, and if required a report to the proper authorities.

By submitting, you acknowledge and accept these terms.

Payment Philosophy

At Ajae Cent Studio, we believe in fair pay for voice actors — not based on strict runtime or word count, but on the narrative weight, emotional demand, and effort of the role.

We’re an independent, one-person studio. All writing, directing, editing, engineering, and post-production is handled in-house. While our budgets are limited, we scale compensation to reflect:

• How central the character is to the story

• The emotional complexity and performance range required

• The number of scenes and sustained character presence

• Respect for your time and talent, even if we can’t pay industry-tier rates yet

We don’t ask for unpaid work, and we don't exploit “exposure” as a substitute for compensation. All performers are paid, properly credited, and welcomed back for future roles as the studio grows.
