I was reading an article recently written by a podcast producer, about great podcasts and their producers that inspires, most notably to me, one of my good friends, Someone Dies In This Elevator Showrunner, Tal Minear. It was fantastic to see my friend recognized by a peer as an Inspiring Indie, and good for them! As often happens when I’m reading something, my brain says hold on, something’s off here. But I don’t know what it is. That’s been ticking in my head, as something was off and I didn’t know why.
As a podcast creator and voice actor, I’ve made a few casting calls and auditioned for a lot more. I’ve seen folks ask if there exists a guide to making casting calls for audio fiction shows, but I’ve never seen one myself, so I decided to make one. This is a guide for what I think are best practices for making an audio drama casting call. I’m by no means a casting call expert, and these are merely guidelines, not rules — feel free to just incorporate what works for you.

It’s always helpful to have an idea of what’s expected from a worksheet or template, so we thought we’d share with you the pitch Tal Minear wrote for Someone Dies In This Elevator.
