IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ THE SCRIPT AND BECOME FAMILIAR WITH IT BEFORE SUBMITTING YOUR AUDITION. IF IT SOUNDS LIKE THE FIRST TIME YOU'RE READING THE SCRIPT, WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO RECORD WITH YOU.
PLEASE BE INDOORS IN A QUIET SPACE WITH NO BACKGROUND NOISE. WE NEED TO HEAR YOU CLEARLY. AND PLEASE BRING YOUR BEST HIGH ENERGY. HAVE FUN WITH IT! If there is other noise, we may request that you re-submit. Thank you!
These prompts are intended to capture your authentic, unscripted conversational voice. Please speak naturally (no announcer tone, no performance style, no heightened storytelling voice, etc.) We want to hear you!
And don’t worry, we’re not judging you on how well crafted your story is – we’re looking to hear how natural and off-the-cuff you can sound. Imperfections and all!
Each response should be approximately 1–2 minutes.
● Prompt 1 - Lighthearted/Humorous: Tell a story about the most embarrassing thing that has ever happened to you. Keep it natural and conversational. Let the humor come from the honesty of the moment.
● Prompt 2 - Emotional Weight: Tell a story about a time someone did something for you that had a meaningful or lasting emotional impact. Focus on sincerity and authenticity. Avoid over dramatizing — stay grounded and real.
● Prompt 3 - Lighthearted/Informative (30 SECONDS MAX): Talk about where you grew up during your formative years (ages 5-18) and where your dialect/accent came from and local names for everyday things.
SCRIPTED READ:
This script is intended to capture how you pronounce a wide range of sounds with your dialect. Please read conversationally — no announcer tone, commercial polish, or added performance layer. Avoid sounding rehearsed or “on.” The lines should feel immediate and human. We’re listening for dialect authenticity, clarity, and ease. Don’t worry if you stumble, this passage is so we can listen to your dialect!
The script should run approximately 20–30 seconds.
"Well, here's a story for you: Sarah Perry was a veterinary nurse who had been working daily at an old zoo in a deserted district of the territory, so she was very happy to start a new job at a superb private practice in North Square near the Duke Street Tower. That area was much nearer for her and more to her liking. Even so, on her first morning, she felt stressed. She ate a bowl of porridge, checked herself in the mirror and washed her face in a hurry. Then she put on a plain yellow dress and a fleece jacket, picked up her kit and headed for work." * *
Did you include all 3 prompts AND the script read in your audition video? If not, we will not be able to consider you. *
Cyclone Media, LLC c/o Weinstein Senior, LLP 1901 Avenue of the Stars, Floor 2 Los Angeles, CA 90067 Re: “Untitled VO Project” / Confidentiality Agreement
Dear Sir or Madam: You and/or your company (“you”) have been invited by Cyclone Media, LLC (“Producer”) to discuss your possible engagement by Producer to render services in connection with the program tentatively entitled “Untitled VO Project” (“Program”) or to be on or at a location where the Program is being produced. In connection with such discussions and/or your later engagement (if any), confidential, non-public and/or proprietary information about the Program, of Producer, or the distributor/exhibitor of the Program (“Network”) and/or each of their assignees or licensees (such confidential information shall be referred to herein as “Confidential Information”) may be revealed to you. Such Confidential Information shall include, without limitation, information regarding the Program’s concept, format and/or ideas, the participant selection process, identities of participants, Program locations, challenges and/or activities for the Program, the final outcome of the Program or of any episode, the content of any episode of the Program, and any other Confidential Information.
In consideration of Producer’s considering possibly engaging you to render services for the Program, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and as a material inducement to Producer to invite you to participate in these discussions, you expressly agree that you shall not, directly or indirectly, verbally or otherwise, at any time (whether or not you are ultimately engaged by Producer), publish, reveal, disseminate, disclose, or cause to be published, revealed, disseminated or disclosed (herein “Disclosure”) any Confidential Information to any person, firm or entity whatsoever (herein “Third Parties”). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Third Parties shall include, without limitation, individuals you come into contact with (including spouses, significant others, friends, relatives and acquaintances), as well as participants and potential participants on the Program, newspapers, periodicals, magazines, publications, television stations, radio stations, publishers, and any other enterprise involved in the print or electronic media, including individuals working directly or indirectly for or on behalf of any of said entities.
You acknowledge Producer’s substantial and valuable property rights and other proprietary interests in Producer’s exclusive possession, ownership and use of the Confidential Information. You further acknowledge that any Disclosure by you to any Third Party of any Confidential Information shall constitute a serious and material breach of the terms hereof, and shall constitute, among other things, a breach of trust and confidence, a breach of fiduciary duty, invasion of privacy, a misappropriation of Producer’s exclusive property rights, and may constitute fraud and deceit.
You acknowledge and agree that any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement due to the unauthorized Disclosure or threatened Disclosure by you to Third Parties of any Confidential Information will cause irreparable harm to Producer and shall entitle Producer to obtain (without posting any bond) an ex parte restraining order, preliminary injunction and permanent injunction preventing the Disclosure, or any further Disclosure, of any Confidential Information. You acknowledge that a breach of this Agreement shall render you liable to Producer for any and all damages and injuries suffered by Producer as a result thereof, and shall obligate you to account to Producer and turn over to Producer any and all monies, profits, or other consideration or benefits which you derive from any Disclosure or use of any Confidential Information, without prejudice to any other legal or equitable rights or remedies that Producer may have as a result of a violation of the terms hereof.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, you acknowledge and agree that any breach or violation by you of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement shall result in substantial damages and injury to Producer, the precise amount of which would be extremely difficult or impracticable to determine. Accordingly, the parties have made a reasonable endeavor to estimate a fair compensation for potential losses and damages to Producer and, therefore, you agree that you will pay to Producer the sum of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) as a reasonable and fair amount of liquidated damages to compensate Producer for any loss or damage resulting from each breach by you of the terms hereof. The parties hereto further agree that such sum bears a reasonable and proximate relationship to the actual damages that Producer will suffer from each breach of the terms of this Agreement.
The covenants made by you herein shall extend to all of your employees, agents and independent contractors, who shall be bound by the terms of this Agreement as if they directly entered into this Agreement with Producer. You shall only disclose Confidential Information to your employees, agents, and independent contractors on a "need-to- know basis" and you shall notify such individual(s) of the confidentiality obligations set forth herein.
In the event of any breach or threatened breach by you of any of the terms of this Agreement, Producer shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in connection with any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to any such breach or threatened breach. In the event of any breach or threatened breach by Producer, Network, and their respective affiliates, successors and assigns, and the officers, directors, employees, agents contractors, licensees, and representatives thereof (collectively, the “Producer Parties”) of any of the terms of this Agreement, I waive any right to seek or obtain injunctive relief and agree that I will not in any event be entitled to interfere with, prevent, inhibit or restrain the development, exhibition, production, promotion, advertising, distribution, or any other use or exploitation the Program.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, I HEREBY WAIVE ALL CLAIMS AGAINST THE PRODUCER PARTIES FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, SPECIAL AND CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.
This Agreement and all matters or issues material thereto will be construed and enforced in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act, applicable federal law, and the law of the State of California, applicable to contracts negotiated, executed, and fully performed within that State, regardless of where negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement may actually occur. In the event of any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement (including the scope or applicability of this agreement to arbitrate) or the breach of any term hereof, the parties agree it will be resolved by confidential arbitration conducted in the County of Los Angeles and administered by JAMS in accordance with its Comprehensive Rules and Procedures, including the Optional Appeal Procedure. The arbitration will be held before a single neutral arbitrator; any appellate panel will consist of three neutral members. For any claim submitted to arbitration, the burden of proof will be as it would be if the claim were litigated in a judicial proceeding and the decision will be based on the application of California law. Upon conclusion of any arbitration proceedings hereunder, the arbitrator will render findings of fact and conclusions of law and a written opinion setting forth the basis and reasons for any decision he or she has reached. Any judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any state or federal court in the County of Los Angeles having jurisdiction of the matter thereof. The arbitrator will have the authority to grant any other equitable and legal remedies that would be available in any judicial proceeding instituted to resolve a disputed matter, but will not have the authority to grant any remedies the parties have waived (including, without limitation, any waiver of punitive or exemplary damages contained in this Agreement). The parties agree to submit to the in personam jurisdiction of the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Los Angeles and the United States District Court for the Central District of California for purposes of confirming any such award and entering judgment thereon. Each party will be responsible for their own attorney’s fees and costs. To the extent permitted by law, the prevailing party will not be entitled to any award of attorney’s fees or costs from the other party. This paragraph will survive any expiration or termination of this Agreement.
This Agreement contains the entire understanding of the parties in connection with subject matter hereof and supersedes and replaces all prior negotiations, proposed agreements, and agreements, written and oral, relating thereto, and cannot be changed or terminated except by a written instrument signed by both parties. This Agreement shall be for the benefit of and shall be binding upon the parties and their respective successors, licensees, assigns, heirs, executors and administrators. Any waiver of any term of this Agreement in a particular instance shall not be a waiver of such term for the future. The invalidity or unenforceability of any term of this Agreement shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of any of the remainder of this Agreement.
Please indicate your agreement to the foregoing by signing in the space provided below.
Very truly yours,
ACCEPTED AND AGREED:
