Hi! Would it be okay to ask about the rough timeline of the recording process? I want to audition, but I don't want to add to your workload if I'm going to be a scheduling bother down the road

Hey there!

We’re planning to record between September 2025 and January 2026. There’s plenty of time to record, and if you need a grace period, I’d be more than happy to give you the time you need.

Hope to hear from you soon! Have a fantastic day.

[before-i-forget-again-pod]

hello! I was just wondering what your timeline was for listening through/selecting voice actors is, and if there’s a certain date we should expect to hear back by? thanks!

Hi there!

Our auditions close on February, and we are waiting until auditions close to listen to submissions, just to ensure that we don't make any decisions before all submissions are in.

You can expect response to your submissions by March 15th at the latest. I'm sorry if that feels far away!

I hope you have a fantastic day.

We are about halfway through our audition period for Before I Forget (Again).

Woo-hoo!!! Here's the link if you haven't auditioned yet.

Here are a few roles that we would love more auditions for:

Tatiana

She/her

10 episodes, principal, recurring character

This role is only open to black transfeminine and/or AMAB transgender actors. Pre-op, post-op, and non-op trans actors are all invited to audition, regardless of whether or not you have done, or plan to do any vocal feminization through voice training or treatment. Preferably American, although other accents are welcome. Sounds to be in her mid-late 30s.

Jay Reece

He/him

3 episodes, ensemble, possible recurring character

This role is only open to transmasculine and/or AFAB transgender actors. Pre-op, post-op, and non-op trans people are all invited to audition, regardless of whether or not you are on, or plan to go on HRT.

Sounds to be in his mid-late 40s, possibly early 50s.

Twin of Fiona, husband of Lewis. Jason “Jay” Reece has been responsible for more life-changing calls in twenty years than most people will in their entire lives. As a strategist for the Military of Sirota, Jay always put his job first, much to his own detriment, which made leaving the service the hardest and best thing he has ever done. But how far do you have to go before you outrun your duties? And more importantly, will you be able to live with yourself if you escape it? Born to be silly, forced to shoulder the weight of the world. Jay is well read, articulate, and his own worst critic.

The Pharaoh Khafre

He/him

1 episode, ensemble, one-off character

This role is only open to actors of Egyptian descent.

Khafre, the Pharaoh under whose rule the Second Great Pyramid and the Sphinx were erected, only wants two things- to build great monuments to showcase the glory of Egypt, and for someone to tell him he's pretty. The second is harder to come by than you would think for a Pharaoh. Sensitive, touch starved, a bit egotistical. Sort of an out-of-touch rich boy.

Khamerernebty

She/her

1 episode, ensemble, one-off character

This role is only open to actors of Egyptian descent.

Khamerernebty, the Great Royal Wife of the Pharaoh Khafre, is tired of everyone’s shenanigans. It's not that she doesn’t have a sense of humor, it's just… well, there's a time and a place, isn’t there? She's had quite enough of everyone's plotting and scheming for her husband’s throne, but the job of the Great Royal Wife is never done. Still, she wouldn’t be terribly upset if she were able to fit in a nap every once in a while.

describing my relationship to someone by introducing them to people as "an old wound"

[before-i-forget-again-pod]

[before-i-forget-again-pod]

We need more examples of genuinely happy, healthy relationships on TV and in books and films. No more of this bullshit about how real, epic love is painful and impossible or deadly. Love should not break you! Love should make you stronger. Show me two friends who make each other feel safe and confident and empowered. Show me a couple that respects each other fully and without question. Show me a couple that has FUN. Show me a couple that support each other. Show me a couple where their issues and conflicts are resolved with love, respect and kindness. Show me healthy love. Happy love. Real love.

Happy Sunday, everyone. I hope that all of our US family in the path of the blizzard are staying safe and warm today.

Just wanted to hop on here to thank everyone for the tremendous amount of support that we've received in the past week on our casting call. As of today, we're looking at over 90 submissions in the past week!!!! That's absolutely bonkers. I cannot wait to listen to them all in February.

hello! i was wondering what kind of experience youre looking for in actors? and if any particukar level of mic quality was a must. alongside if anything in the process (any editing programs or the lije) might be inaccessible to those with visual impairments ?

Hey there anon! These are great questions.

Actors of any level of experience are encouraged to audition. I wanna uplift more new voices into the podcast world, so please don't hesitate to audition on account of lack of experience.

If you have a quality microphone, that would be preferable, but if you don't, audition anyway. If you get cast, I personally would be happy to help work out something so we can get you a good microphone going forward, so don't even worry about your mic quality if you don't have a good one right now. If I can hear you, you're doing good.

As for accessibility concerns, I'm not super well versed in what you would need to assist you in production, but if you want to message us here or email us at beforeiforgetagainpod@gmail.com with your concerns, I would be happy to help figure out what we can do to help you. I can tell you that the audition form is all text, so you should be able to use a screen reader in the audition process, and I can help find an accessible recording tool if need be. We will be using Discord for communication, and all editing will be done on our end. Let me know if any of this sounds like a concern.

I hope that this answers your questions, and feel free to send more asks, messages, or emails if you have further questions, comments, or concerns. I hope you have a FANTASTIC day, my friend!
