Morganville: The Series - Open Auditions

1/30/2014

If you are a regular visitor to AmberBenson.TV you may well have seen some of my posts in the “Latest Amber News” section regarding the highly anticipated Morganville The Series which will see Amber Benson take on the role of Amelie.

For those who haven't had an opportunity to check out my previous posts and are not familiar with the Morganville Vampires series here is a recap.

Morganville The Web TV Series is an adaption of Rachel Caine’s bestselling series of novels. The story is set in the fictitious Texas town of Morganville which is unique because it is owned, ran and operated entirely by vampires. The series currently spans 15 novels but despite this success it has never being adapted for television or film. Rachel decided it was time for this to change and the time was right to take the world of Morganville from page to screen. To make this happen in the summer of 2013 Rachel launched a kickstarter campaign with the aim of raising $75,000 to put the series into production. Thanks to the devoted Morganville fan base around the world it smashed this initial target raising a grand total of $81,752. This means that six TV quality webisodes of approximately 10 minutes each will now be made written by Rachel herself. The series will be produced and directed by Blake Calhoun responsible for a number of successful web series including Pink the Series.

Since then Rachel and her team have been hard at work preparing to bring the series to the screen. Pre production continued this week with some very exciting news as Rachel announced that they will be holding open auditions for the parts of CLAIRE DANVERS & EVE ROSSER, meaning that you could be joining Amber as a key member of the cast. The first stage is a video casting call where those auditioning will submit a video of themselves reading for the part. This means it's open to Morganville fans from around the world not just inside the United States.

All the audition information you need for the parts of both Claire and Eve are available to download now from morganvilletheseries.com. These PDF files will contain the audition piece you will be reading and a full list of terms and conditions that MUST be followed for your audition to be considered.

Two important points to note here:


1) Due to legal and logistical reasons all applicants for both roles must be 18 years of age or older.

 2) The closing date for all auditions is MIDNIGHT US CENTRAL STANDARD TIME FEBRUARY 14, 2014.

AmberBenson.TV would like to wish everyone auditioning the very best of luck!

Joe

On this occasion Amber has worked with Jeffrey J. Mariotte (he also writes under the name of Jeff Mariotte) and their story is titled AMUSE-BOUCHE.

Simply click the signings/events tab at the top of the page then scroll down until you see Dark Duets and click the add button.

You will now have the opportunity to enter your address and payment details at the bottom of the page there is a comments box where you can request a personal message if you wish. Dark Delicacies are also happy to post the book within the US as well as overseas.

Important Dark Delicacies require 24-hours notice for all telephone and Internet orders. So if you are planning to order in this way you have to act fast. I apologise for the delay in getting this post online I've been battling illness lately.

All of us at AmberBenson.TV would like to wish Amber a very Happy Birthday!

Amber is 37 today. I’m not sure she’ll thank me for mentioning her age but she has nothing to worry about she gets more talented and beautiful each year. What? It’s my fan site I can biased if I want and besides just because I’m biased doesn’t mean I’m wrong. :o)

If you would like to wish Amber Happy Birthday yourself you can do you via her official Twitter account @amber_benson & Facebook Page or see our Links Page.

We all hope you have a wonderful day Amber and a fantastic year ahead.

In November author Caitlin R Kiernan announced on twitter that Amber would be narrating the audio books of her Quinn Trilogy. The trilogy centers on the life of Quinn a New England Demon Hunter but despite a big reputation she has a problem, Quinn is a drug addict.

I said when I first added this news to the site (click here to see the original post) I would do my best to keep you updated on any new developments and that time is now. Blood Oranges the first book in the series is now available to purchase via Audible websites both in the USA and here in the UK.

Click here to visit Audible's USA website and click here to visit the UK site
. Both sites offer the facility to buy the audiobook for a one-off fee for non-members. Audible also offers a range of packages where in return for a regular monthly fee a user is entitled to download Blood Oranges as well as access to a vast library of audiobooks also available on the site. The number of books you can download in the month will depend upon your individual package for full details see the respective Audible websites.

At the moment I can find no other information on the release date for the other two books in the trilogy however as before I will do my very best to keep you up-to-date with any further developments.

I'm off to buy Blood Oranges I'll see you later as always thanks for visiting the site and Happy New Year.

Joe
