Hiyo, folks! If you popped up on this looking to audition or figure out what this is, I'm happy to have you here. I'm working on a fandub for a scene of the 2010 movie "Batman: Under The Red Hood". In my opinion, it's one of the coolest and most well-written Batman movies to ever hit the scene. The specific scene that I want to dub over is when Jason Todd (Red Hood) has Batman at gunpoint, asking him why he's let the Joker live, and how the clown has hurt so many people during his crime spree. It's such a powerful scene, and it's my favorite scene of the movie. I'm voicing Jason in this, so all I need is a Batman and a Joker. I hope that you'd be willing to lend a voice or two! I'd really appreciate it! I may ask you do more scenes with me, so please be prepared for that if you want to work on this.
Here is the link to the scene that I'm dubbing over: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kgW7pBKcU4k&t=5s
Some requirements for the project:
Bruce Wayne, (also known to crime as Batman) is the main character, alongside Red Hood, and he's been dealing with the guilt of his greatest failure: The Joker brutally murdering Jason Todd, his second Robin. He's trying to fight crime and figure out who the Red Hood is. His voice in this movie has an older feel to it. He's voiced by Bruce Greenwood (would ya look at that, Bruce was voiced by Bruce). I'd prefer it if you can do Bruce Greenwood's older and more sincere voice, so it can remain pretty accurate to the scene and keep its emotional weight (in terms of Batman's voice). But if you can't, you can go for Kevin Conroy's impression or a mix of the two. I'm excited to see what you bring to the table!
The first line is actually from the scene that I'm dubbing over. Here's the link, so you can hear his voice: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kgW7pBKcU4k&t=5s
The second line is from Batman: Hush.
The third line is from The Dark Knight Rises. I'm looking for a confidence in your voice, as if you have faith in the future of Gotham. But keep it humble and somewhat profound.
(Attempting to reason, trying to get it through someone's head) No! God Almighty, no. It'd be too damned easy. All I've ever wanted to do is kill him. A day doesn't go by when I don't think about subjecting him to every horrendous torture he's dealt out to others, and then... end him.
(Almost nonchalant, somewhat reflective) Criminals, by nature, are a cowardly and superstitious lot.
(Calm, certain of the future) Sometimes the truth isn’t good enough, sometimes people deserve more. Sometimes people deserve to have their faith rewarded.
The Joker is the Batman's arch-nemesis, and is known as the Clown Prince of Crime in the crime-ridden city of Gotham. He thrives off his run-ins with the Bat, and strives to get his attention by doing crazy things in the city. He's the reason why Jason Todd died and eventually rose to become the Red Hood. He beat him, and then blew him up inside of the warehouse that he beat him in.
Mark Hamill is THE Joker, but John DiMaggio did such a fantastic job with his unique take on the clown. He has a pretty deep and somewhat gravelly voice. It's hard to describe his voice, so here's a link to a video filled with DiMaggio's Joker scenes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VLwXcRq388M
The first line is said by Joker in the Killing Joke comic and animated movie. He says it in a low, but eerily calm voice. When you read this one over, try to read it as if you're smiling. If you can do it, add a bone chilling Joker laugh at the end of this line.
The second line is said in Batman: The Mask of the Phantasm. I'm looking for a surprised tone in your voice, but in a "finally a challenge" way.
The third line is in the scene that this is for. Start out with the low tone, but gradually reach a point of pitched excitement. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kgW7pBKcU4k&t=5s
(Eerily calm, with that creepy Joker feel to it) If I have to have a past, then I prefer it to be multiple choice.
(Surprised, but happy to have a challenge) You’re harder to kill than a cockroach on steroids!
(A low tone, gradually reaching a heightened excitement) You managed to find a way to win. But everyone still loses!
