Tom Blyth is lending his voice for an audio romance.
The Hunger Games: Songbirds and Snakes actor will star in The Muse, a three-episode immersive audio romance for audio erotica app Quinn, The Hollywood Reporter can exclusively announce.
The Muse will debut under the Quinn Originals banner, a curated series of elevated, Quinn-produced romances.
Blyth will portray “a disillusioned Regency-era pianist” named William who has “a reputation for brilliance.”
Quinn describes the drama as follows: “When he agrees to tutor Aurelia, the daughter of a wealthy patron, he finds in her a muse who both unnerves and inspires him. Narrated directly to the listener, who steps into the role of Aurelia, The Muse explores the electric tension between teacher and student, the line between discipline and desire, and the transcendent power of artistic connection. This is a story of restraint unraveling — of intimacy, music and mutual obsession, set against the lush, candlelit backdrop of early 19th-century London.”
“Voice acting demands total presence,” Blyth said in a statement. “You have to put everything into your voice: the story, the tension, the intimacy, the movement. William felt like a character with real depth, which you don’t always get in romance.”
“Tom brings a magnetic energy to William,” said Quinn Founder and CEO Caroline Spiegel. “This is one of the most romantic stories we’ve ever produced. We wanted to craft something for every listener who’s ever fallen for the one person they were supposed to stay away from.”
Launching in 2021, Quinn has offered a platform for “ethical, female-first audio erotica.” Quinn Originals—launched in 2022 — features “cinematic storytelling, award-winning voice talent and a signature second-person format that places the listener at the heart of the story.” Other actors who have lent their voices for the app include Jamie Campbell Bower, Victoria Pedretti, Jesse Williams, Thomas Doherty, Andrew Scott and Katherine Moennig.
Blyth is set to star in the highly anticipated adaptation of Emily Henry’s bestseller People We Meet on Vacation with Emily Bader.
The first two episodes of The Muse will premiere July 23, with the final episode dropping July 30.
