Independent Animated Series "Chance" - whimsical and dark
polyniki for Dusk Phengaris
The antagonist, a butterfly. He’s invasive confidence. He’s charming in his relaxed/gruff manner of articulation. Things have come easy to him so he expects that in his conversations, taking his time and keeping people waiting for his next word with dramatic pauses as he considers, knowing no one would interrupt him. Imaginative vocabulary, illustrative of his keenness for innovation and his judgment of what’s valuable and what’s not. He knows he's evil and deceiving and loves it.
[You've just been debating with a character who is relentlessly questioning your actions and integrity. The character just hit a sensitive spot for you with something he said, unintentionally bringing up a past you hate to remember. Up until now, you've been confident and smug in the fact that this bug would have a change of mind eventually and side with you. But now you need to put an end to his defiance. You say this veiled threat dismissively, leaving immediately after. This should be delivered in about the character's normal tone of voice with a bit of menace. You can't be too evil because you are in public.]
It’s a luminescent name, Chance. Suits you. You wouldn't want the name ‘Trouble’ to be the name that bugs remember.[You are pissed off to the point of insanity; the most pissed off you could possibly be. You've resorted to physically violent intimidation tactics. Think like the final fight scene of a lot of villains -- Ratigan, White Diamond, Ursula, that kind of crazy angry. You've nearly lost everything you've ever worked for all because of this person. You're in a moment of furious desperation. Most of all, you're infuriated that this bug in particular won't join you, and can't understand you.]
You’re a pollinator! You’re born to be above the rest. You could’ve had what I have, Chance, all you have to do is take it. Not even no wings can stop you. I wish you could’ve had it, but I can’t risk you pulling this stunt again. Was it worth it, parading yourself for them?
I just love this accent for him, it's so smooth and buttery, very deceitful evil! I am excited about the undulating your voice does with the angry part -- that is perfectly evil insanity. It could possibly use a bit more anger, more unbridled wrath, but it's good as it is too. Thank you so much for auditioning, I'll be deciding after the deadline!
Thank you so much for the kind comment and the valuable feedback, it means a lot to me! I tried to sound both angry and frustrated at the same time. So many great auditions here, I am sure it will be a tough decision :)
